If certain people or certain things break into your life, they will constantly change your habits, your mood, and everything about you. However, people will only be immersed in this change.
Only when it is lost.
Only then will we suddenly realize.
To search, to think, to trace the people or things that brought about these changes.
Then, try to find a way to get it back, or feel lost.
People who are further along the path of magic can easily influence lower-level people. Such as Anton to Neville, such as Voldemort to Anton.
When all research suddenly becomes slow, when there are no longer so many countless flashes of inspiration in the mind, when the excitement of the knowledge received returns to normal...
Oh, Anton is not saying that the professors at Hogwarts or the books in the library are not good, but in comparison, Professor Voldemort’s classes are really good.
Anyway, Anton suddenly found that he had more time.
The usual feeling of not having enough time disappeared, and he returned to calm. Sometimes he could even run to the Quidditch pitch to watch the afternoon training, or hold the pink wurm and ponder it for several hours.
Turning the wizard's eye potion into a curse, he's done it.
People have to find something to do for themselves. Recently, Anton has begun to rethink his previous imagination and give a pair of wings to his werewolf transformation.
This is not an easy task.
You can't create this thing by roughly splicing the magical images of werewolves and fire dragon wings.
Anton has not yet reached the level of invention.
He just discovered the inexplicable fit between the magical images of werewolves and dragon skins, and discovered the true identity of the hybrid creature between fire dragon and werewolf that may have existed in history.
Moreover, even if we don't talk about werewolf wings, Anton is also particularly interested in flying.
From Snape flying in the air without the help of props or animals, to color-changing wind birds, to levitating spells, he has always been obsessed with this kind of thing.
Come to the Quidditch pitch, observe the Quaffle, observe the Golden Snitch, observe each different model of broomstick, and even observe the characteristics of each wizard's flying broomstick.
Return to the dormitory and observe the wings of the dragon species and the feathers on the wings.
Sometimes I would visit next door and go to Hagrid's house to see the fire dragon.
This is Anton's state recently.
Read books, study and study, and gradually return to dullness.
As Anton's need for potion materials decreased, Hannah and Neville became more relaxed and asked Anton to build a third floor above the Weasley hut.
Serves as a greenhouse for cultivating medicinal herbs.
Anton discussed with the twins, and finally everyone unanimously decided to rename the base. After all, there were more than just the three Weasley brothers here, and it was officially renamed the 'Cottage'.
Anton and the twins' laboratories are on the first floor, and Neville and Hannah's greenhouse is on the third floor.
The second floor is vacant.
These two second-generation people from a privileged background moved some things from home and decorated the second floor.
Neville contributed a set of donut-shaped sofas and a round tea table, as well as a set of beautiful oak cabinets.
Hannah brought many exquisite tea sets, tea leaves, various strange decorations, and an expensive-looking clock.
In short, the second floor has become a place where everyone usually sits together and chats.
…
All the members of the hut are here today. In order to celebrate the renaming of the hut, everyone decided to do something meaningful.
The twins suggested exploring the abandoned sewers of Hogwarts Castle. It is said that the buildings underneath have several floors.
Neville proposed to go to the Forbidden Forest to find out the secret of the sudden large number of runes. Recently, more and more runes have slipped into the castle, scaring many people.
"You guys love danger at your core." Hannah rolled her eyes and took out a box from her bag, "Why don't we play a game of wizard chess?"
"Wow~ This is good." Anton, who had become increasingly lazy to move recently, slumped on the sofa and waved his arms feebly, agreeing with this idea.
"Although we are very smart..." Fred grimaced.
"But we have no talent for playing chess." George wore the same mask of pain.
They looked at each other and said at the same time, "Our grandfather's chess talent was only passed down to Ron."
Neville also refused, "I've never won at chess."
So Hannah looked at Anton.
Anton shrugged, "I can play chess, but the chess I play is different from yours. The way I play is to walk on the lines in the middle of the grid."
"Walking on the line?" Fred said in surprise, his eyes lit up.
"Oh, that's a good idea, maybe..." George's eyes were also bright.
"We can make our own wizard chess without having to move on the grid."
Hannah was stunned for a moment, "Put them on the lines?"
"No, no, no." Anton laughed, "They mean, not on the chessboard!"
This is a bit interesting.
"Hey!" Anton sat up straight and looked at everyone.
"Maybe we can make a three-dimensional war chess, and the map can be..." He stepped on the soft wool carpet with bare feet, walked to the window, and looked at the castle next to the Black Lake.
"The map could be Hogwarts!"
Everyone became energetic. Neville, who had no athletic ability, was the first to come up with the idea, "There is also a Quidditch field. We can command the chess pieces to compete on broomsticks. I have always envied Harry Potter for being able to participate in the game."
Hannah's eyes were also bright, "Perhaps we can also expand to the Forbidden Forest and let our chess pieces play our adventures."
"We know all the secret passages in Hogwarts!" Fred's eyes lit up.
"Yes, we have a map, although we haven't opened it since we remembered the contents." George shrugged.
"So……"
Anton looked away from the window and looked back at them with a smile, "Since it's a chess game, who is the enemy?"
"Evil dark wizard!" Neville gave the answer instantly.
"The fugitive from Azkaban!" Hannah seemed to be caught in the mood of the golden eight o'clock show. "His wife divorced him and he raised the children alone. The criminal saw the news of his wife's death in the newspaper, and
Decided to escape from Azkaban and find his son studying at Hogwarts."
Anton raised his eyebrows and said with a hint of evil, "Maybe after he arrived at the school, he used the blood curse to find that his son was not his, but someone from the school, so he decided to take revenge."
George frowned with disgust, "What kind of bloody plot is this?"
Fred laughed loudly, "Yes, someone from the school, such as an administrator who looks very evil."
George thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, with a serious look on his face, "It's very possible."
Everyone knew who he was talking about, and everyone burst into laughter.
"So this fugitive gathered a lot of dark wizards and planned to invade Hogwarts!" Neville still struggled with the dark wizards.
So, the ideas for war chess were summarized bit by bit.
Various interesting levels are written bit by bit on the parchment.
"The Secret Room that Opens Quietly: Shadow of the Fugitive." This level was proposed by Hannah.
"College Duel Competition" and "Quidditch Competition" were Neville's ideas.
"Murmurs in the secret passage." This is George's theme.
"The gasp of the observatory." This was Fred's bad joke.
They have too many ideas.
Anton also gave this war chess map a very interesting theme - comeback.
