Self-cultivation of the traveler of the world

No way, wands are much more difficult to use than pistols!

"Mr. Gu Yi, now I am no longer able to provide you with more detailed guidance and help.

If you still want to continue to improve, I still suggest you go to Hogwarts and ask Professor Dumbledore for advice. You know, he is the greatest wizard of our time, and he will definitely help you!

Of course, if you are not willing to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, we still have vacancies for forest rangers, librarians, etc., but these positions may not be able to display your talents, which is a pity..."

"Hahaha, you really think about Hogwarts all the time!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's pity tone, Wang Xuebin couldn't help laughing.

Having learned the magic of this world, and also intending to go to Hogwarts for a while, this time Wang Xuebin did not shirk, but complimented in an extremely admiring tone:

"I have to admit that Professor Dumbledore's vision is really excellent, and he chose you as the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts. I believe that under your management, Hogwarts will be even greater!"

"So... would you like to help Hogwarts, and add your own color to its great journey?"

"Haha, it's my honor, Professor Minerva!"

Chapter 445 Hogwarts

The name of Hogwarts College is known to everyone in the wizarding world, but his geographical location, like other mysterious wizarding schools, has always been a secret!

People who have not studied in this school, or received an invitation from the school principal, have no possibility of finding this school!

It is said that this is a complex magic specially set up by the legendary four giants of founding magic to protect the safety of young wizards!

A kind of secrecy magic centered on spells such as the Fidelity Curse and the Muggle Repelling Curse!

It is this magic that has made Hogwarts never invaded by foreign enemies since the school was founded. Many criminals who peeped at this school could not even find the location of this school.

On a small hill facing a lake in the Scottish Highlands, there is a flat piece of wild grass, in which the ruins of a medieval castle can be vaguely seen.

And this ruin is what Hogwarts Castle looks like in the eyes of some muggles or people who have never received an invitation from the school.

Just such a ruin has cultivated countless excellent wizards including Merlin, Dumbledore and others. Today, it will unveil its mysterious veil to Wang Xuebin!

Hogsmeade is located in the northwest of Hogwarts. From Wang Xuebin's house, it takes at least an hour and a half to walk. If you take the secret path, you may save half an hour.

Of course, it was impossible for Professor McGonagall to take Wang Xuebin through that dark and cramped secret passage, so the two walked along Hogsmeade's gravel road towards the main entrance of Hogwarts

It was already the end of March, and the temperature had already picked up quite a bit. Professor McGonagall, who was wearing a blue robe, was walking while introducing the recent situation of Hogwarts to Wang Xuebin, who was wearing a gray windbreaker beside him.

"...Now is the time for the children to go on vacation. There are not many children in the school. When the school starts in mid-April, you will find that you can see those naughty children everywhere..."

Professor McGonagall, who is serious and rigid, always shines a dazzling light whenever he talks about his students. It can be seen that Professor McGonagall really cares about her precious students from the bottom of his heart!

"Holiday, what kind of vacation is this time?"

Wang Xuebin was looking at the scenery on both sides of the campus curiously. After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, he suddenly asked curiously.

If he remembered correctly, the students in this school have only started school for about a month, so why are they on vacation again? Could it be that they have to celebrate Qingming Festival?

"Oh~ of course it's the Easter holiday, from the end of March to mid-April, the holiday is about 21 days!"

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said as a matter of course, Wang Xuebin had an old trough in his heart and didn't know how to spit it out.

"Easter? Isn't that God's holiday? Do wizards believe in God?"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Professor McGonagall realized what Wang Xuebin was curious about, shook his head and smiled, looked at him and said:

"Hahaha, believe me, Mr. Gu Yi, if your existence can bring people a half-month holiday, people will definitely not be stingy to celebrate you!"

Hearing Professor McGonagall's joke, Wang Xuebin finally realized that, too, who said that if you don't believe in God, you can't celebrate Easter?

Wang Xuebin still doesn't like to work. Isn't Labor Day the same?

For ordinary people, any festival that can have a holiday is a good festival. As for why the festival was born, who would care about it!

Furthermore, the Chinese wish to celebrate all the holidays as Valentine’s Day. Even Singles’ Day has a bunch of people in pairs to join in the fun, so it’s not afraid of bad luck!

Thinking of this, Wang Xuebin also smiled, turned his head to look at a dense forest on the east side of the road, and said softly:

"This is the legendary Forbidden Forest!"

"That's right, it's here!"

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Professor McGonagall also looked in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

"This is where the largest magical creatures such as centaurs and unicorns in the UK live. There are also many potions that are not suitable for artificial breeding, and they are also part of the school's financial resources!"

"Financial source?"

"Yes, financial sources!"

Seeing a giant of more than three meters drilled out of a tall stone house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but raised his hand to say hello, and then continued to explain to Wang Xuebin:

"Although the school also has social donations, the donated funds are only enough for the daily expenses of the teaching staff and students.

However, because the school has also reduced or exempted many impoverished children, the school's financial situation has been quite tense! "

Having said that, Professor McGonagall showed a slight pride on his expression.

"However, it is also the policy that Professor Dumbledore insisted on, which has allowed countless children with magical talents to come into contact with magical magic.

Although this policy has been criticized a lot, I believe that only such a Hogwarts can cultivate truly great wizards! "

"Hey! Professor McGonagall!"

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, the behemoth walked up to him just now. He scratched his messy wire-like hair with his wide palm, and bowed politely to Professor McGonagall.

"Hey, Hagrid!"

When Professor McGonagall heard the greeting from the giant, he also greeted with a smile, and introduced Wang Xuebin to Hagrid.

"This is Mr. Gu Yi, a guest invited by Professor Dumbledore!"

With that said, she looked at Wang Xuebin again, and introduced with a smile:

"This is the best ranger and key keeper of our Hogwarts - Mr. Rubeus Hagrid.

If you need to leave school in the future, you can tell Hagrid and let him open the door of Hogwarts for you! "

"Ok?"

Hearing what Professor McGonagall said, Hagrid seemed to have guessed something, looked down at Wang Xuebin, and asked in surprise:

"What? Professor McGonagall, is Hogwarts College going to welcome a new teacher?"

"Haha, buddy, I can't promise you yet, but after we settle with you, Professor Dumbledore, we will most likely be colleagues!"

"Hohohohoho..."

Hearing Wang Xuebin's words, Hagrid laughed heartily. He has been in the school for 30 years, and he has already regarded the school as his home.

Now seeing that the school will have another strong teacher, I will naturally feel sincerely happy!

He did not doubt Wang Xuebin's ability. He believed that the person who could win the trust of Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall would definitely be a competent teacher.

He 100% believed in Professor Dumbledore's judgment!

"Hey! Professor Gu Yi, believe me, you will fall in love with this school!"

While talking, Hagrid reached out and patted Wang Xuebin's shoulder. He could feel that the little man in front of him didn't look down on his huge body in the slightest!

"Uh...Professor Gu Yi, are you okay? I assure you, I definitely didn't do it on purpose!"

It was only when his hand touched Wang Xuebin that Hagrid realized that he was being reckless again. His strength was extraordinary, and not everyone could bear it.

"nothing!"

Seeing Hagrid, who was nearly twice as tall as himself, apologizing in a hurry, Wang Xuebin waved his hands indifferently.

The palm just now was indeed not light, but it was not enough for Wang Xuebin to bear it.

"Uh..."

Professor McGonagall on the side also reacted, and looked at the guilty Hagrid slightly speechless. Recklessness was already his old problem, and no matter how many times he reminded him, he would never have a long memory.

"Mr. Gu Yi, are you okay?"

"It's really nothing, believe me, my physique is definitely not that fragile!"

Seeing Wang Xuebin's promise of not changing his face, the two were relieved, looked at each other awkwardly, and had no intention of delaying any longer.

"In this case, let's go first. Professor Dumbledore is still waiting for you in the office. After everything is dealt with, I will take you around Hogwarts!"

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, Professor Minerva!"

Chapter 446 Hogwarts Travel Notes

There is still about two kilometers to go from the gate of Hogwarts to the atrium where the castle is located. This road is paved with a kind of cyan slate and is six meters wide, which can accommodate two Thestrals driving side by side. .

On both sides of the stone road is a street tree that Wang Xuebin has never seen before. It is not tall, but the power of magic can be vaguely felt.

If Wang Xuebin guessed correctly, the street trees on both sides of the road should be able to directly connect to the precious Whomping Willow in the east, which is also part of Hogwarts' protective magic.

The Whomping Willow, the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid's Ranger's Hut are all on the east side of this road, and on the west side of the opposite road is the famous Quidditch pitch.

The first and third games of the Triwizard Tournament in the story were held in this vast stadium.

Going forward, you will see several greenhouses and a vegetable field with wooden fences.

In the greenhouse are some teaching magical plants grown by Professor McGonagall's classmate and colleague, Professor Pomona Sprout.

And the vegetable field is the source of potato crops in the meals of the school's [-] teachers, students and staff!

That's right, in this school, including teachers and students, plus forest guards, janitors, librarians, school doctors, and even house elves, there will only be more than 300 people!

On average, there are only ten students in each grade and each college!

It is also for this reason that Hogwarts can educate so many magical talents with its not-so-abundant faculty.

If there were fifty or sixty students in Wang Xuebin's class when he was in school, how could it be possible to manage it with Hogwarts' three melons and two jujube teachers?

But think about it, the population of the UK during this period was only over 5000 million, wizards were even rarer, and even the elderly and young were only in the early [-]s.

Throwing away those who have graduated and those who have not yet reached the school age, counting the full number of people, there are almost so many people.

Of course, the advantages of fewer people, ample dormitories, abundant toilets, and extremely rich meals are all benefits that can only be enjoyed because of the small number of people in the college.

Most of the funds donated by various councils of Hogwarts are used for meals for teachers and students of the whole school!

This has led to the fact that the college's food is considered to be extremely superior in the whole of the UK, with fish, eggs, milk, all kinds of fruits, vegetables and desserts, and all kinds of soups and juices.

Fresh ingredients, cooked by skilled house elves, produced a meal of different styles but delicious dishes, which entered the temple of the five internal organs of the teachers and students of the school.

In order to prepare this meal well, the legendary Big Four Hufflepuffs have spent a lot of thought!

It is creating food magic and instructing the skills of house elves. It took countless painstaking efforts to achieve the top cooking level in the whole of Britain!

Every student who graduates from Hogwarts misses and admires this magic school. It's hard to say that there is no reason for food!

Delicious food must be inseparable from fresh ingredients, and not all of these rich ingredients come from the vegetable field inside the school!

The school's vegetable plot only supplies some tuber crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The meaning of this piece of land is not to produce anything, but just like the red line of arable land in China, it exists to deal with war and famine!

Only potato crops are cultivated because of the large yield of potatoes and the reason of hunger. After all, when the Magic Academy was born, it was the most precarious period in the magic world.

Today's school has not experienced the threat of war for a long time, but this vegetable patch still plays its role.

Potatoes and sweet potatoes produced on weekdays can be used to make snacks such as mashed potatoes and French fries, and occasionally you can cultivate festive crops such as pumpkins.

As for the other ingredients of the school, there is a huge fireplace in the school kitchen, which is connected to the warehouses of various Hogwarts suppliers through the Floo network.

Every day at three o'clock in the morning, fresh ingredients from all over the UK will be sent to this magic school.

As for the money, in the middle of every month, the house elves will report the quantity and quality of the ingredients to Professor McGonagall, and then Professor McGonagall will increase or decrease according to the agreement, and transfer the funds to the accounts of the suppliers through Gringotts Bank superior.

As the vice-principal of the school, Professor McGonagall devoted a lot of energy to wrangling with the suppliers.

No way, who made her the vice-headmaster of Hogwarts, and Dumbledore's actions to fund poor half-bloods or Muggle wizards did not please the council?

It is for this reason that Professor McGonagall can only live in this way, and it is not surprising that he uses the convenience of the Forbidden Forest to make a living.

"This is the atrium of the school. The towers to the north are the North Tower and the Astronomy Tower. They are the places where the Charms, Divination, and Astronomy classes are held. The residences of the three teachers are also here!

Ahead are Gryffindor Tower, Ravenclaw Tower and West Tower, the former is where the dormitory and common room of Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students are located.

The latter is the owl roof, which is the gathering place for school owls. According to school regulations, mail or letters can only be received during breakfast time. At other times, all owls must stop here! "

Looking at the glassless tower to the west, Wang Xuebin nodded thoughtfully.

"That is to say, if I buy an owl, can I keep it there? Do I need to feed it or something?"

"Need not!"
