I, Hogwarts Second Week

"I like to eat and drink the most." Owen said excitedly, blinking his eyes.

"Uh" Harry was speechless for a moment.

However, this did not reduce the joyful atmosphere much. Soon the little wizards sitting together began to chatter about what they had seen and heard this morning.

"Oh my God, I never thought that there are so many wizards in the world!" That was Seamus' voice.

As a mixed-blood wizard who also lives in the Muggle world, he doesn't know much more about the magical world than Harry does.

"This is the first time I've seen so many wizards!" Ron exclaimed, "It's beyond imagination!"

"I also saw students from Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and several tents had the emblem of that school on them!" Hermione said excitedly. For a Muggle-born wizard like her, participating in such a Quidditch World Cup Simply the best way to learn about the wizarding world.

Every moment she makes a new discovery.

"You spent some time in that school last summer." Harry was equally excited. "We also learned about other magic schools. Just now, I saw the logo of Ilvermorny. The horned water snake and the thunderbird. , cat leopard and goblin, very similar to the school emblem of Hogwarts.”

"It was originally a replica of Hogwarts." Owen, who was slumped on the sofa, said sharply. "If it weren't for the influx of local magic from North America into that college, they would not be able to grow at all. It can only be said that they took advantage of the opportunity. The location is favorable, just in time for the great geographical discovery.”

"Well" Justin touched his head when he heard the sound, "I never thought there were so many magic schools in the world. I thought there was only Hogwarts."

"Hey, I know this." At this moment, the silent Ron suddenly became high-profile. He stood up enthusiastically and said in a showy manner: "There are eleven magic schools in the magic world."

"So, which eleven is it?" Owen asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Forehead"

This suddenly penetrated Ron's fragile knowledge. He hesitated and blushed, but couldn't say a word.

"Eleven schools of magic? So there are so many!" Justin showed an exaggerated expression. He opened his mouth wide and gradually disgraced their Hufflepuff team.

In order to prevent this guy from further embarrassing himself, Owen had no choice but to intervene.

"There are eleven magic academies registered with the Federation." He explained.

Hermione on the side immediately asked: "What do you mean?"

"That is to say, these eleven magic schools have been inspected and registered by the International Federation of Wizards, and they are recognized by the magic society as 'legal' magic schools for enrollment.

If you are simply looking for a place to teach little wizards magic without calling it a 'magic school', then there are plenty of such places in the world.

There are many private ‘magic schools’ from India to Australia to Africa and South America. There are several tantric 'magic schools' in the Himalayas.

These magic schools are not controlled by the Federation. In a legal sense, they are actually illegal organizations. However, compared to most such organizations, they have existed longer than the Federation, so the Federation will not take the initiative to trouble them. .

Correspondingly, these non-certified ‘schools’ have less power. "

"Rights, what kind of rights."

Owen's words slowly made all the young wizards present listen in rapt attention.

Hannah asked curiously as she sat next to him.

"Theoretically, you can apply for admission to any magic school accredited by the Federation in the world.

You can even go to the Far East, South America, Africa, and other magic schools. This is your right certified by the Federation.

They have global enrollment rights. "

Lucius had prepared to send his son Draco to Durmstrang Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

First of all, he didn't want his children to be contaminated by some bad ideas in Hogwarts, such as Sirius Black.

Secondly, Karkaroff, the principal of Durmstrang Magic School, they were once accomplices.

That guy has something on his hands.

Draco would be better cared for in Durmstrang.

It's a pity that this idea was killed by Narcissa, Draco's mother, as soon as it sprouted. She doesn't want her children to be too far away from her.

As for Lucius, who was full of aura outside, meeting Narcissa was like a mouse meeting a cat.

He didn't dare to resist his wife at all.

Proper wife control

"Is that so?" Hearing this, whether it was Hannah, Hermione or other little wizards, they all nodded understandingly.

The so-called eleven magic schools are actually schools recognized by the wizarding society and can enroll students in other countries.

Schools that do not have permission and are not registered with the federation cannot enroll young wizards from other countries.

"Hogwarts is one of the three most famous magic schools in Europe. The remaining two are Beauxbatons in France and Durmstrang in Germany!" Owen continued to explain.

"You should all have heard Hermione talk about Beauxbatons. As for Durmstrang, my grandfather was her student. It is a magic school that only admits pure-blood students. It is located in Norway. It has a long history, but it is not familiar with dark magic. The attitude is more casual. In the past, many dark wizards graduated from there."

As he said that, he suddenly looked at Harry. "The previous Principal Durmstrang was a Death Eater who betrayed Voldemort. Ever since the news of Voldemort's resurrection reached Europe, he disappeared. It should be said that he ran away.

As for who Durmstrang is serving as principal now, I don't know. "

"Betraying Voldemort?" At this moment, a sneer suddenly came from behind them.

It's Sirius.

Behind him were Ron's mother Molly and Tonks who came to visit.

"I have never heard of anyone being able to break away from the Death Eaters." He said disdainfully, "Does that idiot Igor Karkaroff still think he is playing house? The Death Eaters are what he wants. If you join, you can join, and if you want to leave, you can leave?"

"So, that guy is probably dead on some unknown street corner now. That's not important. What's important is who is the principal of Durmstrang Magic School now." Owen turned around and responded, " Could it be my grandpa?"

"He's going to have a ring match with Dumbledore?"

"Then should I transfer to another school now?"

"What." Hannah said in surprise, then looked at him eagerly, "Are you going to transfer to another school? Hogwarts is the best magic school."

"Although but..." Owen's eyes were a little dodged, and being stared at by Hannah's sincere eyes made him feel a little embarrassed. "Okay! I won't transfer schools, how could I transfer schools!

I can't bear to give it up at all.

Hmm - reluctant to give up"

Some expectant eyes suddenly turned to him.

Suddenly, Owen felt a chill in his heart, and he immediately said, "I can't bear to part with Harry Potter at all. He is my beloved relative, friend, brother, nephew. How could I I’m so willing to leave him!”

"Go away!" Harry said angrily. Ever since Owen found out that he was related by blood, he had been talking about uncle and nephew, which made Harry very unhappy.

He can be knocked down, but he cannot shamefully recognize someone else as his uncle.

"Why are you talking to uncle?" Owen immediately cast a threatening look at Harry.

You demo, if you dare to make another mistake, your Firebolt will be dismantled tomorrow.

"You-" Harry read the threat in Owen's eyes, and he had already made up his mind to broom him.

Said he wanted to study it.

Can he give this?

joke.

The Firebolt is more important than his life now. A man's head can be cut off and the blood can bleed, but the Firebolt cannot be thrown away!

Isn't he just an uncle?

Bear it!

"Hmph!" Seeing that Harry remained silent, Owen knew that he had won this uncle-nephew escapade again.

"What about the other eight magic schools?" Hermione continued to ask.

He has no interest at all in the relationship between boys.

"Also, the Russian magic school that was expelled from Europe, Kodosdorez. Last time they participated in the International Magic School Potions Championship and achieved runner-up results."

"International Wizarding Schools Potions Championship?" Hermione asked.

"The potion competition is jointly organized by four magic schools, Hogwarts, Kodosdoriz, Wagdu (Uganda) and the Institute of Magic (Japan). Don't think about it, this competition is completely unique to the Institute of Magic. Show, they have won the championship for many years in a row. Hogwarts also invited Ming’s Magic School to participate in this competition, but they refused.”

"Why?" Hermione couldn't figure out why they would refuse when it was obviously a competition for honor.

"Because the most important assessment of the Potion Championship is the originality of the formula. It is easy for a new potion formula to obtain high scores. This is also the original intention of this competition. They originally hoped to promote the exchange of potions and create new products through collision. A brand new formula, however, most of the magic formulas used by the Magic Institute in the past few times came from Ming Dynasty. Of course, they are not willing to participate in such a competition that relies on plagiarism to win the championship, unless the organizer is willing to deprive the Magic Institute of its previous championship title. ."

Owen looked at Hermione's eyes with a trace of disappointment. She might feel sorry for this competition, because: "The Potions Championship without the participation of Ming Magic is a second-rate event. It's like Hogwarts holding a food appreciation contest." But it’s completely meaningless if Hufflepuff doesn’t participate.”

"Are they so powerful?" Harry was a little doubtful.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Snape's achievements in potions were huge. He was perhaps the youngest potions genius in Europe.

Dumbledore often said this about him.

He said that if Snape had not done some wrong things and devoted himself to studying potions, he would definitely be one of the most powerful magic masters today.

"It doesn't matter if you are strong or not. I am invincible in this regard! Don't be stubborn." Owen warned.

Professor Sprout travels to the Ming Dynasty every year, and every time she comes back, she brings back new magical plants. She knows best how terrible that country's achievements in potions are!

According to Professor Sprout, if the global magic potion is an iceberg, then Europe combined may not be able to support the exposed point of the iceberg, and the Ming Dynasty is the cornerstone of this iceberg.

Hearing the sound, Harry thought thoughtfully.

Hermione's eyes lit up.

She must be thinking about how to become an exchange student at Hogwarts!

"Next is Ilvermorny in the United States. Located in Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, it was founded by the Irish immigrant witch Isolt Thayer and her No-Maj husband James Stewart between 1620 and 1634. It has enrollment all over the country. All of North America.

Following the example of Hogwarts, they also set up four houses and chose four magical animals from North America to name them, namely Thunderbird, Cat Leopard, Long-legged Water Snake and Pukechi. Freshmen must also participate in the sorting ceremony when entering the school. "

"It really looks like Hogwarts." Ron nodded.

"No-Maj?" Harry asked confused.

"It's Muggles," Sirius explained. "Americans call people without magic No-Majs."

"My only impression of Ilvermorny is, well - their school song is very nice." Owen said, and when he said this, he glanced at the Weasley twins.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the twins immediately became unhappy, "Hogwarts' school song is the best!"

"That's right!" George said in agreement.

"Can they sing the school song with the funeral march?" Fred said proudly, raising his head.

"Don't - don't mention this, the Hogwarts school song part will get extra points!" Harry quickly interrupted the two of them.

Every year, the two brothers compose a funereal version of the Hogwarts school song.

Professor McGonagall stared at them with a look that could pierce the long table. If it weren't for Dumbledore, he would cheerfully hold up his wand to beat them every time and allow them to finish singing.

Professor McGonagall might have waved her wand and thrown them out of the castle.

"What's wrong Harry, don't you like our singing?" Fred said with a smile.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Harry quickly shook his head and denied. He knew how difficult these two people's prank props were, and he didn't want to fall for them.

"Tch." Gemini said proudly.

Everyone fell silent to what Owen said was the beautiful school song of Ilvermorny.

No one realized that the great headmaster who could smile and beat the beat of Hogwarts' most trouble-making students, the Weasley twins, might one day leave them.

Waiting for the famously serious Professor McGonagall to become the principal.

They suddenly realized that Hogwarts was no longer the Hogwarts it was before.

"Then there is the Magic School." Owen continued: "To be precise, it is not a Japanese magic school. The Magic School belongs to Ryukyu. It is located on the southern Ryukyu Island. It has the smallest number of students and is also the only day school among the magic schools. . Little wizards who are over 7 years old can enter the magic school. Until they are boarding at the age of 11, they are day students and need to ride on the back of a giant petrel to and from home and school every day.

So their Quidditch team has always been a strong team. I remember that there used to be wizards from the Institute of Magic who served as professors at Hogwarts.

Probably more than a hundred years ago, Principal Dumbledore's flying professor was a wizard from the Magic Institute, hum! The magical world is really becoming more and more closed. "

He smiled sarcastically, "In addition, their school uniforms are all magical creations. Maybe because there are few students, the robes are prepared by the school in advance.

Because it is a magical creation, it can change size as the student grows older, and change color as the student's knowledge increases. At first the school uniform was a light pink. As long as the students' academic performance is excellent, the school uniform will turn into golden light. However, if a student violates the Wizarding Code or violates the International Protection Act, the uniform will become white. "

"Wow! Cool!" Ron exclaimed.

"When can we have school uniforms like this?"

"Haha - not to mention the cost of such school uniforms, as you and Harry and Hermione violate school rules every day, I guess the color of the school uniforms is no other than white."

"We are pure white, what about you!" Harry retorted.

"Of course I am pure gold! I am the student council president and the number one best student in Hogwarts." He raised his head and looked down on Harry, "Why do you have any objections!"

"I"

At the critical moment, Harry acted decisively.

"If you don't have an opinion, just hold it in! Don't keep interrupting when adults are talking and children."

Turning around, Owen talked about the next magic school, "Wagadu, the largest magic school in Africa. Located in the Moon Mountains of Uganda, Wagadu enrolls students from all over Africa. It is the only magic school in Africa that has withstood the times. A magic school that has undergone the test of time (at least a thousand years of history) and has achieved an enviable international reputation."

"The current vice president of the federation is a Wagadu wizard."

"And the Castrobushe School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in South America." Sirius interrupted at this time.

He also holds the title of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Although this title may no longer exist in the second half of the year.

"When I was in school, Hogwarts had an exchange student program every year. Students in sixth grade and above could sign up, which would be reviewed by the school board," he said.

"However, I don't know when it started, but the United States and Brazil suspended this exchange project!"

"That's a pity!" Hermione said disappointedly.

"The Castrobushe Magic School inherited the mysterious magic of the ancient Mayans, Aztecs and Incas. The wizards there unearthed many things from ancient ruins and conducted research on magic based on this. There are many unique spells that are not found in Europe."

"Because of the superior environment, there are many magical animals in the Americas, so most of the wizards there are proficient in raising magical animals." Sirius said, "As long as you can work in the Ministry of Magic, you can often see wizards from the United States. They are actually It doesn’t look any different from us.”

"You can be an Auror!" Tonks also squeezed in at this time.

She said cheerfully, her nose constantly deforming, causing the little wizards around her to exclaim in surprise.

"Being an Auror allows you to travel around the world for free. I just went to Ming Dynasty some time ago. It's very different from Europe, and it's a good place."
