I, Hogwarts Second Week

"This is not a plant."

Madame Maxime opened her mouth to explain, and she also raised her head. The towering vines covered the sky, and they were all covered in the shadow.

"This is a kind of alchemical creation, called magic beans. As long as there is enough water, they can grow to thousands of meters high. The ancient wizards hope to use this thing to explore the moon."

"???" Owen turned around in surprise, "Exploring the moon?"

"Yes, it's a pity that they underestimated the distance from here to the moon. It is far beyond what a magic bean can reach."

"Okay!" Owen raised his head. Although he was amused by the arrogance of the ancient wizards, he also felt admiration for no reason. Yes - they say it was a dark age, but the dark age also gave birth to countless daring people. ' idea.

The wizards at that time sought to reach the moon.

What about today's wizards?

In the one-third of an acre of land in the UK, countless wizards are stunned. On a planet as big as a palm, wizards have been developing for thousands of years and have yet to leave!

Look - during the Dark Ages of the Middle Ages, there were already wizards who wanted to explore the moon.

Hundreds of years later, let alone wizards flying out of the solar system, there is no longer even the thought of landing on the moon.

It has to be said that the arrogance of the ancient wizards crushed the current wizards.

He was truly ashamed of the modern wizards who claimed to be the heirs of the ancient wizards.

"So, giants are in the sky?"

"That's right." Sirius confirmed.

Then he frowned, "It seems like you can't use Apparition here. The Italian Ministry of Magic has set up an anti-Apparition spell here. How do we get up there?"

He raised his head and said, "Want to climb the vine?"

"Stop joking, okay?" Owen glanced at him, "It will kill people."

"Really." He looked at the dog godfather with disdain.

"Don't you prepare any strategies when you go out?"

He cursed and took off the hiking bag from his shoulders, then unzipped it and reached in.

After groping for a while, he felt something scratching his hand.

Then he grabbed the murderer's head and pulled it out.

"You dare to bite me, are you floating? Are you?" Holding Shilok's forelimbs, Owen shook his head.

He has been carrying these two naughty little things in his backpack for the past few days.

There's no way - this isn't Hogwarts, it's a foreign country. What if we let them run away and lose them?

What should I do if I am arrested?

Zuowu's apparation is not unsolvable. This ability can be suppressed by using a magic limiter made from runes.

His hiking bag has such a function.

However, the protagonist this time is not Sirocco.

But its little follower, Bakar.

Compared to its eldest sister, this oval-eye is much more obedient.

It fell on Owen's hand after torturing Sirocco.

Then a fire suddenly burst into flames, and Owen suddenly threw it up.

The next second, the palm-sized Charmander expanded and turned into a behemoth with a wingspan of forty or fifty feet.

It flapped its wings and brought up a gust of wind.

to Hagrid's screams.

Landed smoothly on the island.

"It's up to me!" Owen raised his head and took the lead on the dragon's back.

Others boarded the dragon's back in shock, novelty, or excitement.

Hagrid and Madame Maxime were tall, but to Bakar, the hybrid dragon, they were nothing. It can pick up rocks many times its own weight and play with them in the Forbidden Forest.

The weight of several people was as light as nothing to it.

"Roar!"

The dragon roared.

It seemed to remind them to grab the dragon's spine and prepare to set off.

Then it flapped its wings and dust flew up.

Successfully vacated.

The people riding on the back of the silver dragon immediately headed towards the sky.

"Ho! Roar!"

The wind rushing into his chest roared, but Owen felt comfortable.

He grabbed the protruding bones on Bakar's back and screamed wildly.

This is much more refreshing than riding a Hippogriff.

His gaze gradually raised, and after a few minutes, Irving was able to take a complete look at the long steps to the moon landing in front of him.

"Fuck!"

As the altitude increased, they reached about a thousand meters.

Originally, Mount Etna was more than 3,000 meters above sea level.

And so on for another thousand meters.

At this time, they were at an altitude of four thousand meters, the surrounding temperature had dropped to more than ten degrees Celsius, and the air was thin.

However, everyone who had prepared in advance was wearing robes, so they were not disturbed by the cold. As for breathing, although it is a little uncomfortable, it is still within the tolerance range.

Owen squinted his eyes and raised his hands to resist the cold wind from attacking his eyes.

Look forward with your fingertips.

The place is shrouded in mist and dazzling.

It looks like the location of the fairy palace in mythology.

Hidden above the clouds is the location of mankind's ultimate fantasy, and after a while, he really saw a piece of land among the clouds!

Yes—a vast landmass.

He saw mountains, rivers, and even simple cities.

"No way! Did they really move a continent into the sky?" Owen looked at the glorious land in the distance and sighed repeatedly.

The other three people all had similar expressions.

They had only heard and found out the news, but when the wild land above the sky appeared in front of them, the shock was inevitable.

"Surprising indeed," Sirius murmured.

The vines grown by the magic beans grew stronger and stronger as they went up. When they reached an altitude of a thousand meters, they looked like an umbrella held upside down. The branches and vines wrapped around the suspended continent, holding it up.

But Owen can be sure that this is not entirely due to the vines. It plays a supporting role at most, and there is definitely another way to truly levitate the continent.

"Roar!"

Bakar roared, then waved his wings vigorously, and the entire dragon broke through the shackles of the clouds and came to the island.

Then it landed slowly.

Waiting for others to move away from it.

"Woohoo! The city in the sky is so spectacular!" Owen was like a cheerful rabbit, grazing the lush grass and running happily on the plain.

And Bakar - it turned into 'Sanchez's dragon crown', landed on Owen's head and closed his eyes to sleep.

There were rumbling sounds in the distance. Just now, Owen saw an incomplete city there in the sky. He must have thought it was the gathering place of giants.

"Wait a minute Owen!" Sirius chased after him.

Everything around him seemed to be under an expansion spell.

A blade of grass was several feet high, and a tree was more than ten feet high. They seemed like little people in the land of giants.

The natural creatures here are also magnified.

For example, rats as big as humans, flies with big heads, mosquitoes with mouthparts several feet long, etc.

In short, this is a dangerous and wild wilderness, so be careful.

Sirius grabbed Owen.

After leading him for another ten minutes, he stopped when the tattered city wall in front of him got closer and closer.

Through the gap in the collapse, they saw two young male giants fighting.

They were twenty-five feet each, looking about two and a half seas tall, much stronger than him, as strong as a hill, wearing rusty iron armor, with a beast's banner wrapped around their waists. Skin.

They were engaging in the most primitive struggle with their bodies, and the earth trembled beneath their feet.

Even though he was far away, Owen could still feel the astonishing momentum and couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue...

His eyes skipped over the two giants, and then looked further back - there was the real camp of the giants, and more giants gathered there.

They were either lying on the ground sleeping, or beating their feet and chests, not knowing why.

Several bonfires were burning.

The black smoke looked like some kind of signal tower.

It can be seen from a distance.

These giants were so accustomed to the two giants fighting life and death not far away that they didn't even glance at them.

For them, fighting is probably as common as eating and drinking. He is happy to see his companions fighting, and it is best to kill one or two. This way they can save a lot of food.

In addition, he also saw some strange giants, one with two heads, one big and one small, and several arms.

Anyway, they are all extremely ugly, and most of them don't even have clothes. The two fighting giants still have a piece of armor. They - even the female giants are like this, with bare bodies and only wearing simple decorations. And some garlands of branches and vines cover the necessary places.

"Yeah? It's dark?"

Looking into the distance.

Suddenly Owen's vision disappeared and was enveloped in darkness.

It turned out to be a pair of hands covering his eyes.

Oh - it's Sirius!

"Kid, don't peek," he said.

"I took a peek there." Owen held Sirius's hand, "I was looking at it openly - ah, bah - I was looking around to see the scenery, okay?"

"Look at the scenery" Sirius sneered, not bothering to pay attention to Owen's clumsy lie.

"My dear Joan of Arc - I'm really looking at the scenery, why are you thinking so dirty! What can I think about the two lumps of meat that can crush me to death, the idea of ​​cooking? You didn't see the mountains in the distance Does the giant look bigger?"

Owen shouted loudly, finally pulling Sirius's hand away, and he immediately rolled his eyes at the handsome godfather behind him who was probably broken in Azkaban.

"I noticed that you want to fall in love." Owen stared at the dog godfather, "Why do you always think that way?"

"Pfft-" On the side, Mrs. Maxim couldn't help laughing.

This was the first time she had seen such a sharp-toothed little wizard.

Sirius' face suddenly darkened.

Even the playful expression on Owen's face disappeared. He just said coldly, "Who knows what's going on in your bad guy's head?"

"Hey - I have to reiterate this again. This stereotype of yours is really strange. What happened to the bad guys? Are bad guys supposed to be full of lies, selfish, vain, greedy and vicious?"

"All lies are to cover up. To cover up, I have nothing to cover up. I am not afraid of anything, so I never lie."

Owen's talkative nature exploded again, and he talked a lot, from his humanity to his strength to his world view, etc., which explained the difference of this evil boy.

"Okay, okay, just shut up, we understand." The dog godfather said impatiently.

At this time, the giant in the distance finally noticed their group.

Several giants stepped on the ground like thunder, making rumbling sounds and approaching them.

When you look at them from a distance, you don't think they are powerful.

When the figure got closer, he could feel how terrifying this huge mountain-like enemy would be if it appeared on the battlefield.

A behemoth that is immune to most attacking spells and is so powerful that it can knock down the door of Hogwarts with one punch will frighten anyone.

No wonder Voldemort would choose to win over them. This kind of ferocious beast is simply a weapon of war. Even if a top wizard like Dumbledore can easily deal with giants, who can have his strength?

As long as the Death Eaters were able to contain the Aurors, the giants would be simply invincible to ordinary wizards.

Unless their nape meat is also a weak point.

————

More and more giants gathered around.

The earth rumbled, as if it was ringing.

"We came with good intentions and wanted to see Lopus Titan. We brought gifts." Hagrid stood in front of everyone.

He held up Dumbledore's gift.

The blue flame burned silently, and its temperature could not be seen. It exuded amazing power, and seemed to be able to burn for eternity.

The giants who were watching immediately noticed the flame.

They hesitated, making all kinds of meaningless shouts in their throats, and a few of them wearing armor were obviously interested.

Hagrid was speaking English, and of course these giants couldn't understand it.

On the island of Sicily, there are many wizards in the tavern, so it is not surprising that those wizards know several languages, but giants are not wizards, and they cannot hold so many things in their heads.

More and more giants were running over in the distance.

Hagrid kept holding the eternal fire and shouting loudly.

It wasn't until his throat was dry and his voice was hoarse that he noticed that some giants were much smaller than other giants, with long dirty hair, garlands of weeds, and clothes made of tattered linen.

The female giants were whispering to each other, and they obviously understood some of them.

Immediately they turned around and ran back to the top of the mountain with a roar.

"They should have gone to inform the giant leaders. We'll just wait here and don't anger them," Hagrid said.

Then, Owen sat down on the ground, with his legs crossed and his hands on his thighs, looking at these giants curiously.

"Hiss - I said, giants are not a matriarchal society!"

"Matriarchal society?" Sirius frowned, not quite understanding what this term meant.

Wizards have done very little research on giants. They are both arrogant and stupid - how can they have the energy to study such creatures?

Wizards don't even understand creatures like goblins, which they often deal with.

"It is a clan system based on matrilineal blood relations, and a clan system that calculates lineage and inherited property according to the matriline. Matrilineal society is an important stage in the development of human history, from the late Paleolithic Age to the Neolithic Age, about 10,000 years ago years to about three million years.”

"Look over there." Owen said, pointing to the giants watching them in the distance.

"It should be a family of giants, a slightly thin female giant and three male giants, followed by several young giants. This is obviously proof of polyandry. While we were watching, the female giant was standing in front, The male giant is standing behind her, which shows that from the social status of giants, female giants are higher than male giants. Otherwise, how could a giant known for its strength and size let a thin female giant stand in the front?"

Owen talked a lot.

The giant he pointed at responded with a roar.

As for Sirius, Hagrid, and even Madame Maxime, all of them looked puzzled after listening to Owen's words.

That blank, empty look in his eyes is very similar to those students in school who missed out on mathematics all their lives because they picked up a pen that fell on the ground.

The eyes are clear and stupid, revealing innocence that has not been tainted by knowledge.

"..." Owen rolled his eyes at them, and then said in a somewhat unsatisfactory tone, "Oh my god! Don't you all study?"

I really envy your brains. They will definitely sell for a good price because they are 90% new and have never been used! "

"How are you talking!" The dog godfather held down his head, "The person here is not your professor, please show some respect!"

"Hey - you are so angry!" Owen struggled, "Do you know what it means to learn the Tao in succession and specialize in skills? Do you know what it means to be a disciple, and the disciple does not have to be inferior to the teacher, and the teacher does not have to be better than the disciple? Do you know what it means to learn without before and after? , is the master a teacher?

I'm not ashamed to ask if I understand.

How can you sleep with such an attitude!

How can you sleep with such a lack of knowledge? Are you promising?

How can you be embarrassed to be someone else’s teacher?

snort! It's a pity that I'm not the principal, otherwise I would have fired you long ago. "

"Haha - you have to work harder then." Sirius laughed angrily, his head hurting from Owen's jabbering, and he smiled stiffly, "Let's wait until you become the principal!"

Owen's words did not cause any change of thought in the ears of Sirius and Hagrid, but Mrs. Maxim frowned slightly because she had heard these 'big principles' that Owen said in other places.

In Chang'an Taixue, their students often said something like this. She remembered that the transfiguration professor in her college, Liu, who graduated from Chang'an Taixue, seemed to admire this concept very much.

He often asks students to teach themselves in class. Everyone shares transformation techniques and problems encountered when casting spells. Then, fifteen minutes before the end of the class, there will be a big discussion to solve the problems encountered. If solved, , then there will be no homework today. If not, today’s homework is to go to the library to choose the answers to these questions and write a paper and submit it.

Then distribute it to other students in the next class for cross-discussion and scoring.

Liu, said: "This is to promote students' independent learning and independent thinking, and cultivate their hands-on ability and problem-solving ability."

Then there are a lot of truths from Barabara.
