Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

Soon, Professor Sgrughorn was discharged from the hospital.

During this period, Ralph upgraded his feathered double through some knowledge obtained from the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Not only that, he also exchanged his magic power for some star spring water, soaked the feathers he was going to turn into a substitute in it for a period of time, and added some moon dew.

This allows the substitute feathers to hold and absorb more magic power, and establishes a magic circulation with the outside world.

Less magic is consumed when retrieving memories and simulating thinking.

Using the knowledge inside, Ralph builds a more efficient and energy-saving memory retrieval method, not only for the feather stand, but also for himself.

The knowledge within Ravenclaw's diadem is not something that can be obtained casually.

First of all, the user must be a registered student of Hogwarts, a young wizard whose name has been written on the Book of Admission, and who has successfully passed the Black Lake and signed a contract with Hogwarts.

Of course, there are bonus points for being a Ravenclaw student.

After that, you need to get the approval of Hogwarts Castle. The castle's approval is the key to the crown, which is used to open the knowledge base inside.

There is no clear standard for recognition in Hogwarts Castle. Ralph was recognized when he stopped the Chimera beast last time.

The symbol is a black raven flying towards him and finally integrating into his body.

By analogy, Gryffindor is a red lion, Hufflepuff is a yellow badger, and Slytherin is a green snake.

This is equivalent to the castle giving you a mark, which means that you belong to it.

However, these marks seem to be invisible because I have never heard anyone mention them.

After obtaining the key, not all the knowledge in the crown will enter the user's brain at once. It is estimated that no one except Ravenclaw himself can bear this.

The knowledge within the crown has been classified. It will seal the basic knowledge of each category with magic and send it gently into the user's memory.

When consciousness comes into contact with these sealed knowledge, it will be blocked. It is necessary to solve the problems inherent in the seal to temporarily obtain a key and enter this knowledge.

The keys obtained by solving problems are time-limited.

The key obtained by solving the problem for the first time is valid for 1 day; for the second time, it is 3 days; for the third time and subsequent times, it is valid for 7 days.

Every time you solve a problem, there will be one less seal on the knowledge, but after solving all the problems, the knowledge belongs to you.

Ralph discovered that the seal on the knowledge bubble was actually an advanced application of the "Lockdown Spell".

It's just that here, the [Lock Spell] has been changed.

[Unlocking Spell] is like a lamp in the dark, used to help you find the right lock, so that the key you hold is useful.

Here, we don’t need to use the [Unlocking Spell] to access it to answer the questions inside.

Either the [Unlocking Spell] corresponding to the [Locking Spell] on the surface of the bubble has been replaced by consciousness, or it could be something strange, such as permission from Hogwarts Castle.

Although all the problems have been solved and all the seals have been opened, they do not really belong to you at this time. Only after the knowledge has been thoroughly digested and absorbed can we say that they belong to you.

Knowledge is recorded in books, and the books belong to you, but this does not mean that you have mastered the knowledge inside.

Once the Ravenclaw Diadem is irreparably damaged, these bubbles of knowledge will disappear from memory.

This is also true. When a user thoroughly masters a certain type of basic knowledge, the bubbles corresponding to this type of knowledge will disappear and be replaced by improved knowledge of the same type.

However, when contacting the improved knowledge bubble, we can also choose to enter basic knowledge, but the premise is to unlock the seal on the surface of the improved knowledge bubble.

The crown is like a remote server. When we put it on and give the correct password, it will leave the basic knowledge in our memory.

These basics are in our ocean of memory

, like big bubbles, suspended above the memory, with chains intertwined around it on the surface of the bubbles.

These bubbles are the access links left to us by the Crown server. As long as the magic still exists, we can access the Crown server through the bubbles in our memory.

However, these all require the assistance of memory magic. Wizards who have not learned memory magic and are not proficient in entering their own memories need to wear the crown on their head when performing the above operations.

If you want to get in touch with the seal outside the memory bubble, you have to do one more thing, and that is to answer the question of the eagle-headed bronze door knocker in person, and the answer must be satisfactory to him.

The Ravenclaw Diadem has a mysterious connection with Hogwarts Castle, and the Diadem can know the specific situation through this connection.

Then it is time to put on the crown and undergo the crown assessment.

The Ravenclaw Diadem is more like an alchemical tool for passing on knowledge.

Ralph also learned a lot of knowledge and solved a lot of problems before he got the knowledge he wanted, thus solving the problem of the feather avatar not being able to stay for a long time.

Naturally, communication with professors is indispensable during this period.

At first, he asked the surrounding neighbors questions.

But the neighbors behind him were a little overwhelmed and seemed to feel the same feeling they had when they asked Ralph about the hardcover version of "Professor's Notes".

So the neighbors asked Ralph to ask the professors.

From the initial exchange of letters, Ralph was called by the professors to the second floor of the Hogwarts Huimin Store for many-to-one instruction.

Professors always like students who are eager to learn, and they also prefer students who ask them questions.

Students like Ralph who study hard during the holidays and ask in-depth questions are undoubtedly loved by many professors.

During this period, he also met many professors of courses that he had not learned yet, such as arithmetic and divination professors, Muggle studies professors, etc.

Among them, Professor Sinister, the astronomy class professor, also planned to invite him to the newly built planetarium at Hogwarts to observe the beautiful starry sky together.

However, under the gaze of Professor McGonagall, Professor Sinistra took back his words.

It said that there are still some dangers that have not been eliminated and it will take some time.

Ralph did not prostitute the professors for nothing. In his free time, he would take the initiative to help Filch share the cashier duties.

Although there is only one magic cash register system, Ralph cannot use it at all.

Thanks to his years of cash register experience, Ralph can calculate prices even faster than Filch can manipulate the cash register system.

In addition to cashiering, Ralph also operates the self-filling feather notebook, and is very skilled at multitasking.

This made Filch very envious.

Except for a very small number of customers who don't come to Hogsmeade often, other customers didn't have any surprise when Ralph showed up here to cashier.

For wizards who often come to Hogsmeade, they have seen Ralph as a waiter in every shop.

Not only the cashier, sometimes Ralph also helps Professor Sprout introduce various plants to customers.

During this period, due to the attack on Professor Sglughorn, the flow of people in both Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village was much less. Everyone stayed at home honestly, but the roaring letter sent to the Ministry of Magic

But not a single letter is missing.

The Ministry of Magic knew it was in the wrong, so they could only admit it while holding their breath.

Coupled with the slap in the face from the previous espionage incident, they were all holding fire inside.

Although the flow of people has followed, the patrols in these two places have not been relaxed, but have become stricter.

It has been ordered from above that any wizard who makes a loud noise or covers his or her face must be stopped and inspected.

This caused dissatisfaction among many people. After all, not everyone knows Aurors and is known by all Aurors, so it is inevitable that they will be stopped for inspection.

However, I really found something, which made the people above happy and strengthened my ideas.

They do this

It opened a green channel for those famous wizard family members.

After all, there are only a few of these people, and in the magic world, everyone basically knows them.

Facing them, the Aurors all held a hands-off attitude.

This kind of differential treatment made those members of the wizard family feel a little proud, and they looked at the civilian wizards who were being inspected with a superior look.

However, joy is always the same, and they cannot be happy for long.

Knockturn Alley underwent another thorough investigation, a real rigorous investigation without notifying anyone.

This operation was directed by the Director of the Legal Enforcement Department of the Ministry of Magic. All personnel who received the information, whether they were the Director or other staff, were called to his office by the Minister of Magic and were isolated from the outside world and were not allowed to pass on any information.

Not only Knockturn Alley, but also some wizarding family manors were thoroughly investigated.

The Aurors were divided into two groups and acted separately.

The merchants in Knockturn Alley who were still in business at that time were in great misfortune. All of them were arrested by Aurors and their goods were confiscated.

Some who tried to resist were directly hit by several [Stunning Curses] and [Disarming Curses]. Judging from this, they probably had to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Maladies for a while before they could be tried.

For example, Mr. Bock, the owner of the Bockin-Bock store, is still very clever.

Seeing this scene, he put his wand aside, raised his hands, and let the Aurors take him away.

He knew that as long as he cooperated, he would be released. At most, he would be fined a few Galleons, lose a batch of goods, and spend a few days in Azkaban.

As long as it is done properly, you won't even have to enter Azkaban. That place is really no place for humans.

Darkness, dampness, and coldness are not the most uncomfortable things.

The most terrifying ones are the Dementors. They are the guards of Azkaban and do not need to be paid by the Ministry of Magic. They are the best guards in their opinion.

The dementor was wearing a cloak, as if it had been soaked in water, with scabby palms, and his whole body seemed to be rotten.

Wherever it passes, all happiness will be sucked away, reminding people of the most terrifying things, and the "mouth" under his hood will suck out people's souls, which is called the "Dementor's Kiss".

One of the most severe penalties imposed by the Ministry of Magic is the "Dementor's Kiss".

"I hope they can fish me out soon."

Mr. Burke thought that he had sensed something was wrong. With the goods in his store, he would definitely be thrown into Azkaban.

Moreover, it may not be easy to handle this time. He did not receive any news beforehand. This is the biggest abnormality.

This means that the Ministry of Magic is making real moves.

The trip to Knockturn Alley brought them a lot of harvest, and countless illegal and prohibited products were neatly placed on the shelves.

Eugenia Jenkins, the current Minister of Magic, looked at these goods with excitement in her eyes. She looked at the directors behind her, praised the Aurors who had returned, and promised to give them an additional year's supply.

Salary, this made the Aurors cheer.

Jenkins didn't pay attention to the cheers of the Aurors and looked at them with a smile on her face. This would be another major political achievement since she took office.

Previously, she had completely secured her position as Minister of Magic because of her outstanding handling of the pure-blood turmoil during the Squib Revolution.

Now, she is looking forward to the return of the second team even more.

"Captain! Minister! We have received a signal for help!"

An Auror rushed in from outside.

The Aurors immediately stood up, ready to go at any time.

The staff were in such a mess that they thought Voldemort had invaded.

"Quiet!"

Jenkins cast the [Amplifying Spell], and the huge sound echoed in the main hall, forcing the rioters to stop.

Soon, the team set off to the place where the call for help was sent.

In a manor owned by the Nott family, several Death Eaters were fighting with Aurors.

Seemingly being cornered, these Death Eaters had already cast the Unforgivable Curse, [Cruciatus Curse], and [Killing Curse] before risking their lives.

It was difficult for the Aurors to capture it for a while.

These Death Eaters were also helpless. They knew each other personally and wanted to get together and complain about what happened in the past few days.

Who would have thought that they would encounter an Auror inspection?

After knowing it was an Auror, they were very glad that they didn't put on masks or black robes, otherwise they would have been unable to explain clearly.

But, there is a pig teammate among them.

At that time, an Auror opened the door with a cold face and asked them if they were Death Eaters.

As soon as they opened their mouths to deny it, a curse passed across their faces and hit the Auror opposite.

The Auror opposite was also stunned for a moment, is it so direct?

He dodges and shouts to his teammates that he is the enemy!

The battle is about to break out.

The Aurors worked well together and the enemy was hiding in the building.

A teammate's clean [Explosion Spell] blew up the building where the enemy was hiding to pieces.

Then, another teammate fired a [Hurricane Curse] to sweep away the smoke and dust.

With a clear vision, they changed the terrain, created obstacles in front of them, and gradually pushed towards the opposite side.

The leader here saw the other party constantly tapping his arm with the wand, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he quickly sent a signal to the sky for help.

Having participated in many battles with Death Eaters, he knew very well that this was their signal for help.

Generally, not long after the signal is sent out, their companions will [disapparate] to the surrounding area one after another.

This is also one of the reasons why it is difficult for them to deal with Death Eaters.

Their positioning and information transmission are so convenient and fast.

If this magic is obtained and used on the Auror team, the success rate and safety factor of their missions will be much higher.
