Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 13 New Curse

February has arrived in a blink of an eye.As the weather warms up, Quidditch is once again on the agenda.Since Gryffindor was the winner last season, they could choose their first opponent.But Oliver Wood didn't do that.

"We have a choice. Wood, this is not the time to carry forward the knight style." Joanna was a little dissatisfied.

"I know you are confused. But have you ever thought about it, if we choose this time, then our tactical shortcomings will be exposed to the other three teams. Of course I know that there have been many teams in the past, by virtue of being able to choose the third team. The opponent came back from a difficult situation in one game. But there are also many teams that only won the first game by 1. Then they lost consecutive games." Wood seemed confident.

"So. What should we do next? Teams in other colleges have stepped up their training, and Hufflepuff has developed a set of tactics specifically for Harry," George said.

"It only took their Seeker Cedric 7 minutes to find the Golden Snitch under interference." Fred said in an unbelievable tone.The other team members shook their heads slightly.

"The opponent is very strong. But I believe that as long as we train enough, the balance of victory will tip to us." Wood encouraged the players of the Gryffindor team.Then Harry started going out early and coming back late every weekend.Winters, on the other hand, followed Aurora's advice and directly learned extremely destructive black magic.But he's ready to start with something more basic.

He found a book on a small bookshelf: "Wizard Combat Code". This book detailed the precautions for fighting between wizards and a large number of cases. One sentence caught Winters' attention.That sentence reads: When encountering a dark wizard, please choose one of these three options: summoning spell, transformation spell, or the most lethal spell you are proficient in.Warning: Don't think about apparating immediately.

"Aurora should really go to Ravenclaw." Winters was filled with admiration for Aurora at this moment.Winters decided to master the commonly used basic spells first, and then follow the instructions given to him by Professor Flitwick to integrate the basic spells. He didn't want any accidents to happen. After all, accidents caused by powerful black magic were almost always is irreversible.

He returned to the way he used to be, classrooms, dormitories, auditoriums, libraries, and training rooms, day after day.The cold wave has completely subsided, and the topic of Quidditch has become lively again.The deans also began to think of ways to help their teams.

Harry seemed to be the most tired one. After asking George, Winters found out that Wood had put all his treasure on Harry. Their tactics were extremely simple and crude. Except for the goalkeeper and the batter, everyone else was Participate in the task of searching for the Golden Snitch and try to find the Golden Snitch within 5 minutes.

"In short, it's either a 300-point lead or a 150-point lead... Is there no alternative?" Winters had some doubts about how effective this extreme tactic would be.

"We have put forward our opinions. But after discussion, we found that this is the only way to defeat Hufflepuff. The shortest time for Cedric to catch the Golden Snitch is about 7 minutes," and the longest is 30 minutes.Moreover, Hufflepuff's cooperation is very strict, and it is impossible to win with conventional tactics." George and Fred were very depressed.

Currently in late March, the first Quidditch match is played between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff on Friday afternoon.After wishing Harry success, he applied for the key to the training room from McGonagall and came to that empty place again.

According to the tips in "Exploration of Charms", the following points should be paid attention to when merging spells: Homogeneity: It is best to fuse offensive spells with offensive spells. If you insist on merging spells with different properties, it will be extremely serious. May cause serious accident.Compatibility: The stronger the spell used as a carrier, the better.At the same time, based on homogeneity, it is best not to conflict in nature with the curse that is integrated into the carrier.Then there are plenty of examples.

Winters decided to start with the Shattering Curse. After all, it was the most powerful spell he was familiar with. "Let's try the fusion of the Shattering to Bones and Stunning Fainting spells first." . .Then the blinding purple light he imagined didn't appear.He looked carefully at the introduction to these two magic spells and found that some words were missing. "Charms: Year [-]" says: Shattering to pieces can cause extremely serious injuries, and may kill if hit in the heart, lungs, or head.There is no such description of falling unconscious.

"Being knocked unconscious is less like an offensive spell and more like a restrictive spell," Winters thought to himself. "Fire is blazing?" Winters discovered that this spell was also defensive in nature, and was used to drive away dark creatures that could hurt people.

"It's so difficult" Winters sighed dejectedly.

"No, I can't just copy what's in the book," Winters thought to himself.

He found a palm-sized wooden board in a corner. "Fire is raging," he said, and a flame shot out from the tip of the wand, and the board immediately caught fire.

"Fire blazing is really not suitable as an offensive magic... fainting... Okay, let's do this, fainting + flaming" Winters suddenly became excited.

Winters waved his wand slowly, feeling the pulse of magic. He stared intently at the dummy 30 meters away from him.

"Fire Strike!" Winters yelled, waving his wand in a straight forward motion with a certain arc.

A dazzling orange curse rushed out from the tip of the wand with red lightning, and then a burst of hot air blew Winters to cover his eyes. When everything subsided, he found that the dummy had disappeared. .A fragmented place like a triangle was left on the ground, and there was a place in that fragmented area that was darker.

"Then let's try using "Fire Strike" as a carrier and adding the spell "Shattered Bones" into it, Winters thought excitedly.

A few minutes later, a dazzling blue-purple light illuminated the entire training room.A 12-meter-tall giant steel mountain monster model was beaten into a pile of twisted scrap metal by the "Shattering Flame" invented by Winters.Winters has never felt so happy.

He started various experiments using the "Shattered Flame" as a carrier.Shattering Flame + Obstacles, Shattering Flame + Expelliarmus. . .In the end, he got several new spells: Shattering Flame and Shattering Shield. One is an offensive spell with far more destructive power than shattering into pieces. The other is not only to scatter the incoming spell, but also to send people flying towards Winter. His things turned into a floating pile of hot debris, which he could throw back with magic.

It was already night before I knew it.As he walked to the auditorium, he met Elsa and Elena.

"If you run back now, you might be able to catch the party."

"Party?"

"Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch in less than five minutes and set a new record," Irina said with a smile.When Winters arrived in the Gryffindor common room, he found a bunch of people singing the team song that had escaped.

"You won?"

"Yes, 150:0. Defeated Hufflepuff," Harry said excitedly, "And in front of Snape."

"Snape? Isn't it Mrs. Hooch?"

"I'm sure Snape hates me because of You-Know-Who"

"He does have a weird temper. He makes sarcastic remarks. But I can't say he hates him. And how could he be related to the mysterious person?"

"He was trying to charm Harry out of the broomstick last time," Hermione said.

"And he even asked Professor Quirrell"

"Forcing Professor Quirrell?"

"He asked Professor Quirrell who he was loyal to." Winters was stunned for a moment. Judging from some things that happened in the past, Snape was indeed suspicious.

"But... this is Hogwarts, there are so many teachers, and Dumbledore is here. There is no need to worry too much," Winters said, and Harry rolled his eyes at him.

Although he said this, he was thinking in his heart: What would he do if Voldemort appeared tomorrow.Dumbledore couldn't protect everyone.
