The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

"You might be the first wizard to win a duel with your fists."

Virginia said to Erwin at breakfast the next day.

"Although I have said it once, I still have to say, what a beautiful punch." Ogg raised his glass to Erwin.

What he is drinking is a purple-black drink, which should be made of some kind of grapes and magic spices. Wizards in the United States don't like pumpkin juice very much.

"Is your spellcasting ability really that bad?" Viktor Krum looked at Erwin suspiciously.

Their understanding of him was limited to the first demonstration of self-abilities. Erwin showed mind control and a certain level of magic text alchemy, but he did not show his level of spellcasting.

"I'm not good at aiming either," said a flat voice.

It's Lyudmila.

There was silence, and even Viktor Krum felt a little speechless. With this girl's ferociousness, there was really no need to aim.

Lyudmila is willing to have breakfast with them, which shows that this northern girl is not as unfriendly as everyone thought at first, and she seems to have other reasons for locking herself in the room before.

"If you don't pretend like that, how can you hit Karlius on the nose?" Erwin shrugged.

"I'll just say it." Virginia laughed.

Erwin has become a "good brother" in his eyes.

"Almost forgot." Angela said to Erwin after breakfast, "There is your letter in the messenger room, you need to pick it up yourself."

Like Hogwarts, Ilvermorny also has its own school messenger bird, which is kept in a shed called the messenger house.

It took Erwin more than ten minutes to get his letter. The sender's address was naturally England, and it was sent by Melanie.

Britain is a small island country. In this relatively small area, it is not impossible to use owls to meet the needs of information transmission, and it is relatively convenient and fast.

But when it comes to intercontinental long-distance communication, the regular letter method is immediately lame, usually with at least a day's delay.

This letter is considered a routine report. In addition to briefly talking about what happened at Hogwarts this week, Melanie mainly talked about one thing, that is, the Ministry of Magic allowed dementors to enter Hogwarts. It caused quite a panic among the students.

Especially student Harry, the stress reaction is more serious.

Strictly speaking, Hogwarts is not a public school, but there is no doubt that the Ministry of Magic is the biggest school manager, and even Dumbledore is inconvenient to directly refuse the Ministry of Magic's order without reason.

This is an opportunity to expand the influence of the Muggle Hometowns.Dementors can bring fear and despair, but they can be driven away only by specific spells, and the constant effect of a single simple magic can be said to be the most basic application of rune knowledge.

Erwin intends to make some badges for the Constant Patronus Charm. It is not necessary to summon a specific Patronus animal, as long as it can shine a little light to expel the dementors. The logo of the fellowship is printed on the badge.

This badge will be given to every Muggle-born student, whether or not they belong to the Hometown.Anyway, this thing is low-tech, and it can be mass-produced with the LeMay Cabin.

Having made up his mind, Erwin quickly wrote a reply.

Although he might not be able to return to Hogwarts for a year, it didn't really prevent him from exerting his influence.

Melanie, a dependent who doesn't have to worry about loyalty, is very valuable. Hermione still lacks the ability to stand alone, and she often insists on her own ideas and is moved by it.

After writing the reply, Erwin went back to meet the others, and everyone went to the place designated by Professor Suuene, and the subject was finally about to begin.

Most of the Ilvermorny students I met along the way looked at them with weird eyes, and of course most of them mainly stared at Erwin.

It was Krum's attention as a well-known star before, but now it's Irvine's turn.

He directly defeated "Ilvermorny's Pride" yesterday.

"It is said that Canelius' front teeth were knocked out..."

"Even August, the strongest among us, has been defeated in this way. Don't tell me that in future duels, everyone just throw away their wands and just play boxing..."

All kinds of whispers came.

Trouble soon came to the door, a tall boy with curly hair deliberately stood in front of Erwin, "I challenge you." He said gruffly.

Erwin was not surprised. His deliberate performance yesterday would definitely make some idiots think that he was easily defeated, and he defeated Karliuus again, that is to say, he defeated the "stupid" who couldn't aim properly. "Approval" is to do what Carliuss failed to do.

Obviously, Erwin is a prestige bag in their eyes.

"If you challenge me, it's [-] galleons a game, and you can use items of equivalent value." Erwin said lightly.

The common currency of the magic world in the United States is also the Gallon Siconate system. Although it feels very convenient, it can be seen from this that the goblin's Gringotts is not just mastering the finance of magic Britain.

But at least for now Erwin is not very concerned about it.

"What?" The boy was taken aback.

"It would be of great benefit for you to challenge me, but I won't get anything, so why should I agree?" Erwin asked rhetorically.

"Are you afraid?"

Erwin glanced at him coldly, walked around him and continued on.

"Ai ai ai ai, don't go!" The stupefied youth shouted quickly, he thought for a while, and then felt that Erwin seemed to be right, who would want to fight if it's not good?

The provocative method won't work either, because the other party is also provoking directly when facing Karlius, it is impossible to be afraid of him.

"But it's too expensive," he said angrily.

"I didn't force you to challenge me." Erwin didn't look back.

"You wait for me, I'll go collect the money now." The stupefied green gritted his teeth, "I'm Patrick Osim, remember my name!" He yelled at Erwin's back.

"You get the money together first." Erwin replied.

It was a long journey from their lounge to the place designated by Professor Suouene. In just ten minutes, Erwin encountered four challengers in a row.

Erwin treated them equally and asked them to pay first before discussing the duel.

It seems that these young wizards who are confident in themselves are all from aristocratic families, and one hundred Galleons is nothing to them, so they all agreed.

Everyone has classes during the day, so we still make an appointment to go to the summit of duel together at night.

"This money is too easy to earn." Virginio grinned.

"It's a pity that this business can't be done a few times." Erwin said.

Even if you hide your clumsiness, if you only win but not lose, you will be seen as a problem. There are no absolute fools in this world.

"Is all this in your plan?" Angela looked at Erwin in surprise.

"Of course not. This price tag is just to set a threshold to prevent endless challenges. Of course, if someone is willing to send money, I will not refuse." Erwin shrugged.

They went down the stairs directly to the bottom floor, and then passed through two secret doors and a miniature maze before finally arriving at their destination.

The others are very familiar with the route, that is, Erwin went out a few days ago so he didn't know the way.

The destination is a spacious underground space, similar to the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets, which is concealed and spacious without transmitting movement to the outside.

Carlius August had already arrived first, and his face was very ugly, especially after seeing Erwin.

Erwin used all his strength in that punch yesterday, and his original intention was to ensure that the opponent would go into shock.However, unlike the rumors, Karlius did not lose his front teeth, but broke his nose.

With the level of medical treatment in the magic world, it is no problem to treat this level of trauma. Karlius has naturally recovered at this time, but the psychological trauma is not easy to heal.

"The victory you achieved with despicable means is also a victory, and I will not deny it." He snorted coldly at Erwin, "but that's all if you rely on despicable means."

"Thank you for the reminder, but I don't think my behavior is despicable, but you are being stupid." Erwin retorted.

Virginio let out an undisguised laugh.

Carlius was at a loss for words, and he had nothing to say, because in retrospect he also felt that he was too stupid to be more stupid.

This Erwin was obviously acting at the time, and this conclusion was based on the almost perfect armor spell of the other party. How could someone with this kind of magic control have such poor accuracy?

Obviously he was being played.But why didn't you see it then?And when the opponent rushes over, I only need to dodge or give myself an acceleration magic to dodge, why the first reaction is to attack?

Karlius had only himself to blame for being stupid.

A tall figure slowly came out of the darkness in the corner, the monocle reflected a faint light.

"So, everyone is here." Professor Suouene said slowly.

"Yes, Professor." Karlius replied.

The eyes behind the monocle swept over all of them, "Have you already decided who will be my assistant?"

Erwin took a step forward, his expression as usual.

Professor Suouene let out a "huh" inexplicably, "Hogwarts boy."

He paused, and then continued in a deep voice: "Before I start, I hope you have a clear idea of ​​the subject that is about to start. This research is of great significance, and it is even related to the overall development of wizards. Your teacher Letting you come here is not just for you to gain benefits, you are also pioneers."

This topic seemed a little heavy, and the boys and girls from all over the world looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

Professor Suouene seemed satisfied with their response, "So before the official start, I need to sign a contract with you." He said.
