The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Erwin released his stealth status and took off his sunglasses at the same time.

Now that he has arrived at someone else's territory, it is obvious that he must show enough respect.

He's here to learn.

But out of curiosity, Erwin tried Apparating again, but it didn't work.

Apparition, it seems, is also forbidden within the confines of Ilvermorny.

I just don't know if the forbidden magic here is as powerful as that of Hogwarts.

Walk along the road, the castle is just above, and you can see the gate directly.

But Erwin didn't go there directly, but thought for a while, and then took out the Ilvermorny badge that Dumbledore gave him from his inner pocket.

"I'm Erwin Frost, a Hogwarts exchange student," he held up his badge. "It may not be very polite to come in, but I mean no malice."

After he said these words, the faint sense of crisis disappeared.

Not far away, a gray stone moved.

It was obviously a disguise. Standing up was a strange creature. He looked very short, only about one meter tall. His face and limbs were quite similar to the goblins of Gringotts, but there were a lot of porcupines on his back. of spikes.

He's just prostrate on the ground, as if about to shoot Erwin with the spikes on his back.

He walked slowly towards Erwin, stared at the badge for a while, and then his ferocious expression softened a little.

Then the spines on his back retracted, and he really looked like a grey-skinned goblin creature.

Pukechi Goblin, a goblin species unique to North America, has its own language and characters, but its racial civilization is still in its infancy. It can skillfully use hunting weapons or completely or partially transform itself into a porcupine or a jaguar to fight. , which is their unique magical ability.

The goblins of Gringotts vehemently deny that they are related to Pukki by blood.

The founder of Ilvermorny, Isolt Thayer, once established a friendship with a Pukechi tribe and allowed them to live on the hills near Ilvermorny. These Pukechi goblins are equivalent to bearing He took part in the guard work of Ilvermorny.

It seems that magic schools basically have the function of sheltering a certain group of magical creatures, just like the centaurs are to Hogwarts.

The Pukki goblin muttered something incomprehensible to Erwin, then turned away without looking at him again.

Erwin looked behind him and found a simple hut next to the bushes not far away, which should be his residence.

I don't know how many such huts there are on this lush hillside. After all, humanoid creatures basically don't live alone.

So Erwin chose the most sensible way. Instead of walking directly to the castle, he raised his wand and launched a firework.

Simple explosion effect, but the sound is penetrating enough to make his presence known.

A moment later, a fleet of broomsticks lifted off from the castle and arrived at Erwin's location.

It was a group of young people, wearing Ilvermorny's unique blue and raspberry school uniforms, all of which had a pattern of a horned water snake.

It should be a Quidditch team, returning to school early for training, just in time to find Erwin's signal.

"Are you?" The leading girl looked at Erwin in confusion while riding on the broom.

The latter immediately revealed his identity, and at the same time said that he did not want to disturb the Pukechi community here.

"Is it an exchange student? It seems that Hogwarts and Kodos Torrez are really missing, but why do you come from here?"

"Then how did the exchange students from other schools come?" Erwin asked.

"Some of them apparated by themselves, and they were accompanied by professors from their school," the girl said.

"So Ilvermorny has a dedicated apparition area?"

"Yes."

This is different from Hogwarts. In Hogwarts, only the headmaster has the privilege to use Apparition to return to school.

"Maybe my headmaster didn't send a professor to send me here because he felt that I could handle it on my own." Erwin shrugged.

"Anyway, let's take you back to our castle first." The girl turned her head and said to another round-faced girl, "Rachel, give your broom to our guests for a while, you and I will ride together." .”

Apparently she was the captain of the Quidditch team.

"Don't bother, I can walk there." Erwin said quickly.

"That's too slow."

Rachel didn't show any displeasure, she landed with a giggle, and handed the broom handle to Erwin.

Although he didn't really like this kind of wizard-owned vehicle, Erwin couldn't say he couldn't ride it. He straddled it and lifted off into the air.

This broom was a model he recognized, the Nimbus series, and the number behind it should be more than one thousand and five.

It seems that the Light Wheel Company is still a multinational company, and it is also possible for a broom company to survive with a market consisting of more than [-] magical people in the UK.

"I'm sorry, I don't know your name yet." Erwin said to the girl.

"Millis Twelve Trees." The girl flicked her golden-brown hair in a ponytail. She was pretty, a standard sporty girl.

Erwin followed them and flew towards Ilvermorny Castle, and in mid-air, he could see that the entire Ilvermorny area was shrouded in an isolation layer formed by a layer of white mist.

Landed on the court inside Ilvermorny Castle, "Let's go, I'll take you to Professor Suuene." Millis said.

Erwin nodded.

This castle has a similar layout to Hogwarts Castle, with a historical medieval style on the whole, and also has a large auditorium that doubles as a restaurant.

Considering that the school was only 300 years old, this style is obviously a deliberate imitation.

It is not difficult to guess the reason, because the founder of the school is a British immigrant and has a yearning for Hogwarts.

But there is still a difference, Ilvermorny is much bigger than Hogwarts Castle.

Along the way, I saw a lot of students who arrived at school early, indicating that Ilvermorny is not like Hogwarts, where students are gathered together and transported to the school by a train. Al, who is not wearing Ilvermorny school uniform Wen naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Erwin was watching them too, not just out of curiosity.

There are a total of four animals on these students' school uniforms, the long-horned water snake, the cat leopard, the thunderbird, and the Pukechi goblin, representing the four houses respectively. There is no doubt that this is a copy of the Hogwarts system.

Why always have to label it.

There are quite a few students, and the total number must be much larger than that of Hogwarts, after all, the total population base of North America is there.

Erwin found it very interesting that he hadn't seen any black people so far.

This is of course unusual as black Americans make up at least 30.00% of the population.

However, considering that North America is basically an immigrant country, and the African-American immigration method...obviously, it will not bring much magical blood.

After all, how could the slave trade possibly buy wizards?

However, not only African-Americans, there are not many students with Indian characteristics.

The vast majority are white.

There is no doubt that wizards are also part of history. In the past 300 years, what happened between immigrant wizards and native American wizards (let’s call them wizards), and what role did they play in this colonial history? , It really can arouse people's curiosity.

"I seem to have delayed your training." Erwin said to Millis.

Such an attitude naturally made the girl feel a little better, "It's okay, there are still several months before the first competition." Millis smiled slightly.

She took Erwin to the interior of the castle and knocked on the door of an office.

"Professor Suouene, Professor Twelve Trees." She called out respectfully.

Professor Twelve Trees is a formally dressed woman. Judging from her surname and appearance, she should be related to Millis, while Suuai is an old man with short hair, a burly figure and a stern face.

The first impression is not like a scholar or a wizard.

His eyes shot out from behind the elegant monocle, passed Millis, and landed on Erwin.

Erwin was not stage frightened, and looked at him.

This professor, whom Headmaster Dumbledore told him to learn from, is said to be of great help to Erwin.

"The students from Hogwarts have also arrived, and now Kodostorez in Russia is missing." Professor Twelve Trees said.

Professor Suouene's gaze never left Irwin, "So, you are Albus Dumbledore's favorite student." His voice was low and hoarse.

"I'm indeed Professor Dumbledore's student, but I'd be a bit afraid to say that I'm a proud student." Erwin responded, his attitude and tone were very understandable, polite, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Excessive modesty is tantamount to hypocrisy." Professor Suuene shook his head disapprovingly.

"Blind arrogance borders on stupidity," Erwin replied.

Professor Twelve Trees frowned, but Suouene smiled, "My request to the principals is: the more potential the students sent, the better. What is potential? It doesn't just lie in knowledge. The level of magic you have mastered, and more importantly, your age."

He walked towards Erwin slowly, "And you are the youngest of this group of exchange students, only in the third grade. What is the level of a normal third-grade student? Your Professor Dumbledore sent you here, is it beneficial to you?" What kind of confidence, or what kind of expectations do you have?"

Professor Twelve Trees looked shocked, and Millis also looked at Erwin in surprise, third grade, that is, only 13 years old?In terms of body shape, temperament, demeanor, and tone, they are completely different.

Erwin remained very calm, "Thank you for the praise."

"Do you think I'm praising you?" Suouene shook his head slightly, "Let me remind you in advance that although special training plans will be formulated according to your respective characteristics, the allocation of resources will be based on your competition. The ranking came."

Erwin recalled that Dumbledore seemed to have said that this student exchange program was almost a welfare magic enhancement experiment?And it's about bloodlines.

But this doesn't seem to have anything to do with him. In terms of blood, unless the original dragon in the Rocky Mountains that is not even sure whether it really exists is found out, any form of improvement is meaningless to Erwin.

What Dumbledore said at the time was to ask him to be an "observer".

"Is it only the third grade?" Professor Twelve Trees shook his head slightly, "Should I arrange basic courses for him? The third grade is a very critical year, and the courses cannot be left behind..."

"Of course not," Suouene interrupted her, "This is Albus's favorite student, how could you arrange the lessons?"

Erwin was expressionless, but he had already made a certain judgment. This professor Suouene didn't seem to have a very friendly attitude towards Principal Dumbledore.

Maybe it's just plain unconvinced.

Professor Twelve Trees who was interrupted showed a slightly displeased expression.

"Millis, I'll trouble you again, take this kid to the exchange student dormitory." He looked at Erwin again, "Most of the young people have already arrived, you can communicate first and broaden your horizons. My The subject will start a week after school starts, before that you can move freely, but don't disturb the normal teaching order of Ilvermorny."

"Don't worry." Erwin nodded.

After walking out of the office, Millis immediately became active, and her attitude towards Erwin also changed.

"Are you really only 13?"

"No, if you do your best, you may be 40 years old." Erwin responded blankly.

"Don't be joking." Millis chuckled, thinking he was telling a joke.

"Well, I'm indeed in the third grade." Erwin could only say.

"It's only the third grade, so he's still a little brother."

"Can you remove the word 'small'?"

When she reached the door of a tower building, Millicent turned around and looked at Erwin, "I won't go in. If you are bullied by anyone in this school, come to me! Sister, me and the professors The relationship is pretty good."

"What if I bully others?" Erwin asked seriously.

"It's best not to bully other children." Millis didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Saying goodbye to this kind-hearted senior, Erwin opened the door and walked in.

In a spacious lounge, a circle of sofas surrounds the fireplace. Erwin looked to the side and found seven portals in total.

In Ilvermorny, there is no way that students from different countries can squeeze into a dormitory. These should be single rooms, which means that the number of international exchange students who come to Ilvermorny should be less than this number.

Not all magic schools send students.

There was someone in the lounge. After hearing the sound of Erwin entering the door, he stood up. This is a boy with a cropped cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with obvious Slavic features.

He was wearing a dark red robe with fur trim on the edge of the robe. Although wizards shouldn't be bothered by temperature problems, this attire was quite inappropriate for this season.

He looked Erwin up and down with scrutiny for a moment, then held out his hand, "Viktor Krum, from Durmstrang, you may have heard my name."

Erwin thought it was a bit interesting. It seems that there are not many wizards who shake hands to show etiquette?But he didn't sweep the opponent's face either.

"Erwin Frost, from Hogwarts, you already know my name."
