Chapter 733 Welcome to a certain scientific Hogwarts
"Hogwarts has a total population of 1,230 people, 80% of whom are students..."
"Here is where the most cutting-edge knowledge of human civilization is gathered. In other words, it can be said to be an institution of higher learning and a holy place for scientific research that stands at the top of human civilization. Not surprisingly, Hogwarts' knowledge is at least twenty or thirty years ahead of the rest of the world.
Year……"
"As we all know, Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world and even the world..."
"In order to protect the spark of civilization and protect underage wizards, Hogwarts has a complete security system..."
On the speeding Hogwarts Express, Elena introduced the first-year students in the carriage with a smile, and in the air, a three-dimensional holographic image of a miniature version of Hogwarts Castle gradually took shape.
On the left chest of the girl's robe, there is a shining silver letter "P" - the prefect badge of Hogwarts.
Prefects (Prefects) are students who are appointed by the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry or the deans of each house and are given special rights and responsibilities. Each house will select a boy and a girl from fifth grade to serve as prefects.
They will hold this position until they graduate. Therefore, each college will have 6 prefects at the same time, and there will be a total of 24 in the whole school.
On the other hand, the male and female student union presidents are usually selected from the prefects first and will not be replaced.
Logically speaking, regardless of age or education, Elena is still a little bit behind the standard at this time.
But considering that Elena completed all the written exams from grades one to four ahead of schedule and got straight A's; plus she is also the assistant professor of Potions, the chef of Hogwarts, and the special consultant for curriculum reform at Hogwarts; plus
Based on the suggestions of some members of the school's faculty and staff, Dumbledore finally decided to make an exception and appoint Elena as the new prefect after discussing with the four deans.
Unlike the badges of other prefects, which are based on the representative colors of their respective colleges, Elena is a little bit special.
As one of the few students with multi-house uniforms, the background color of the badge on her chest is not a single color, but like the Hogwarts school badge with the pattern removed, it is evenly divided into four badges - but it symbolizes
The blue pattern of Ravenclaw was still blank at this time, which made Elena somewhat regretful.
Of course, this is also a matter of course.
After all, Elena and Ravenclaw have nothing to do with each other.
The common room of Ravenclaw welcomes any knowledgeable and wise wizard, but this does not mean that wizards with extraordinary wisdom should belong here. Even if Elena masters the secret of the door knocker, she cannot truly become Ra
Vinclaw.
Unless... we can turn back time and go back to the time when we threatened the Sorting Hat at the opening dinner a year ago...
"Elena? Hey, it turns out you are in this box. The orientation for new students here hasn't ended yet..."
Just when Elena was slightly distracted, the door of the box suddenly opened.
Then, a girl with thick brown hair walked in - Hermione Granger.
Hermione Granger first looked at the little guys in the room curiously, then turned to look at the white-haired dumpling. Before Elena could ask, she shrugged helplessly and took the initiative to explain.
"The rooms you assigned to me were numbered wrong. One of them is Luna's box. After I lost the guessing game, all the freshmen there now belong to her, so I came over to see if there is anything else I need.
Can you help me?"
"Luna? Um...that's right! I almost forgot, Luna will officially enroll in school this year."
Elena looked at Hermione who suddenly appeared at the door, was slightly startled, and nodded in realization.
"In this case, I've almost finished my introduction to the school. I'll leave it to you to continue the freshman trial - I'm still two boxes away from finishing it. We'll go back together later.
.”
"Yeah, yeah, Elena, go quickly, the boys' side should be almost over."
"Remember--"
"I know, I know, don't worry!"
Hermione nodded quickly, and before Elena could finish what she said, she half-pushed and half-hurried Elena out of the door, patted her chest confidently, and replied excitedly - for this day,
She had been practicing for a long time.
"Okay, see you later..."
boom!
As Elena's figure disappeared outside the door, the door of the train compartment was closed again.
Only Hermione Granger and four first-year students were left in the room, who looked confused and at a loss.
Hermione glanced at the blank-looking freshmen, coughed slightly, straightened her face, took out her wand and waved it flexibly in the air, a string of magic characters appeared, and at the same time imitated Professor McGonagall's tone and said softly
.
"Freshmen, welcome to Hogwarts - I am Hermione Granger, a second-year Gryffindor. I will take over the teaching work for the upcoming freshman entrance trials. According to Hogwarts
According to the tradition, there is a small magic trial before you enter the branch. Of course, don’t worry, this will not affect your future life in school..."
As Hermione spoke, a look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes and she smiled slightly.
"In the next time, I will teach you a basic spell that all wizards must master. From now until the train arrives at Hogsmeade Station, you still have a whole day to practice -"
Her eyes wandered among the freshmen, she raised the wand in her hand and said with a smile.
"Now, please take out your magic wand and chant along with my movements..."
…………
at the same time.
Next to Hogwarts Castle, Area A of Academy City.
"Lumos flash!"
Along with the clear sound of the spell, a soft white light appeared at the front of the wand.
Then, like a ball of light catkins, it floated out from the front of the wand and swayed in the air.
"It's unbelievable. You have shattered the lifelong belief of those guys in the Vatican... You can create a light source out of thin air with just your thoughts. Is this the legendary magic? It's so amazing! It's so interesting!"
Kolmolov looked at the ball of light in front of him with admiration and said while dancing.
As the last group of scholars to be evacuated from the former Soviet Union, if we put aside the series of transfers and placements yesterday afternoon, strictly speaking, this was almost the first day Kolmolov officially came into contact with the magical world.
"This is just the most basic form of magic. Any wizard can easily perform it."
Gellert Grindelwald grinned and replied gracefully, with a trace of well-hidden contempt flashing in his eyes.
If it weren't for Elena's request and the fact that these Muggles used their once-a-month rights in the hope that they could use the wisdom of the top wizards in the magical world to jointly solve some problems that had been bothering them for a long time, he would not have bothered to come.
"Excuse me, is there anything else? This light can last all day, you can study it slowly..."
Grindelwald glanced at the fussing Muggles, took out a contract, put it on the table, and tapped it gently.
"If there is nothing else, please sign and confirm this power of attorney - by the way, write down the content of the topic you are researching, otherwise, that little girl will not admit it..."
According to the agreement he and Elena had previously negotiated, whenever he completes an "SSS-level" academic commission, he can make a reasonable request to Elena - which even includes some not-so-excessive requests.
requirements.
Of course, if he fails to complete the task for more than half a month after accepting it, then he owes Elena a wish.
"Uh, wait, Mr. Apokalis... there is one last step, there is a small detail that needs to be completed."
Kormolov scratched his cheek in embarrassment and made gestures with his thumb and index finger.
The middle-aged scholar suddenly stood up and exchanged excited looks with several colleagues around him. Together, they pushed four or five small mobile blackboards filled with various numbers and formulas to Gellert.
In front of Grindelwald.
"Look, you are now using magic to create light in the three-dimensional world. According to what you said before, when a wizard performs magic, he only needs to rely on his thoughts to complete it. You also knew just now that light has speed.
of……"
"Yes, so what? Do you need my help calculating it?"
Grindelwald frowned impatiently and glanced at the blackboard in front of him.
I saw Kormolov draw a big criss-cross arrow on it, with time written on one side and space written on the other side, and a long shape was pulled out from the zero point, with a series of numbers marked on it.
.
"No, no, no, we already know the speed of light..."
Kolmolov rubbed his hands and looked at Grindelwald expectantly.
"This is the space axis, and this is the time axis. You might as well imagine that the light point you created is a line that is moving fast on it. I remember you said before that magic can produce different wavelengths. I mean
Different colored beams of light…”
"Yes, this is not difficult, so what color do you want the light spots to be?"
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows slightly, said slowly, and raised his wand.
Kolmolov shook his head quickly and pointed at the long row of formulas and graphs beside him.
"No, it doesn't have to be that complicated - first take a closer look at these formulas and reasoning, and then try to exchange the time axis and the space axis in your mind. You can also reset the speed of light to zero. In short, cast a light point and see what happens.
What effect..."
???
The wand in Grindelwald's hand froze, and he turned his head in confusion.
If it was a transformation spell, or a slightly higher level light spell, he knew it very well.
but……
Convert the space axis and time axis? Return the speed of light to zero?
What was this Muggle saying just now... some kind of strange foreign language?
Glancing at the silent wizard, Kolmolov blinked, thought for a moment and explained.
"Well, by the way, it actually means flattening this light cone - this shouldn't be difficult for you to understand, right? It's just a matter of thinking about it. If you think about it carefully, only magic can restore this conceptual thing.
Now."
"???"
The corner of Grindelwald's mouth twitched, and after a few seconds of silence, he slowly said,
"I still need to prepare for this matter. Magic is not as simple as you think. Otherwise, you can change your request today, for example, to help you temporarily become a few years younger, or..."
"Sorry, Mr. Apokalis, if it's about personal needs, we still don't have to."
Kolmolov sighed with some disappointment, thought for a while and said.
"Why don't you go take a look at Area B of Academy City? I remember that Mr. Alexey and the others seem to have a simple problem that needs to be solved. They seem to want to know why measurement destroys the quantum wave function-"
"...That's it, I understand."
Grindelwald raised his hand, crossed out the [Lighting Curse Improvement Commission], and said expressionlessly.
If nothing else, he should be able to start thinking about how to fulfill the little girl's wish now.
No wonder Albus had a weird look on his face after hearing that he accepted the commission. The ideas in these Muggle heads are really crazy. Fortunately, he doesn't have to do it this year like those poor students.
Go to Muggle classes.
I hope the little ones at Hogwarts won’t cry too loudly this year...
