Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

But it was obvious that the dwarves and hobbits had no magic power, so they naturally could not drive the flying brooms, so they had to regretfully give up the idea of ​​flying on brooms.

However, you can't ride it yourself, but you can be carried flying.

Gandalf was very willing to be a rider and take these people to the Valley one by one, and let them experience flying.

So amid the dwarves' exclamations, the dwarves Kili, Fili, Balin... one by one boarded the "Gandalf" flying car and headed for the final destination, Dale.

Dewi also took a ride on Gandalf's carriage, and then never wanted to experience it again.

The old man drove even faster than this young man, and he was driving at full speed the whole time.

During the whole process, Dui was worried that the broom he had worked so hard to make, which had just been produced, would disintegrate and become scrapped in the air.

However, it was not until Gandalf brought back the last and fattest Bombur, and the broom did not fall apart, that Dewi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the help of the flying broom, everyone arrived at River Valley City earlier than expected.

River Valley City is located at the foot of Lonely Mountain, and everyone is not far from the finish line.

[Hogwarts Sign-in System: Locating Riverdale, do you want to sign in?]

As soon as Dui landed, the system responded immediately.

Dui's heart moved, and he muttered silently: "Sign in."

[Successful sign-in, congratulations on obtaining "Wizard's Oath"! ]

Seeing the title of the book, Dui flipped through it curiously.

It turned out that this was a book about magic contracts, which recorded a variety of contract magic, including the Unbreakable Oath Curse, the Fidelius Curse, the Blood Covenant, etc.

The Unbreakable Oath Curse is an extremely strict magical contract. The person who makes the oath must abide by his promise. If he violates the contract, he will be killed by the magic backlash.

The Fidelius Charm is a magic used to keep secrets. It requires a secret-keeper to hide the secret in his soul forever. Unless the secret-keeper reveals it on his own initiative, no one else can discover the secret by any means, not even truth serum or legilimency.

As for the blood covenant, it is interesting. People who make a blood covenant cannot harm each other. Dumbledore and Grindelwald had made a blood covenant in the past. Moreover, the greater function of the blood covenant is that they can share each other's souls and magic power, which is a magical contract of life and death.

Dui was very happy to get the contract magic.

Although contract magic is not offensive, it is very useful and powerful in some aspects.

He even had an urge to force Thorin to sign a new magic contract, so that when his dragon disease came back, he would not dare to break the contract.

But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. There’s no need to make things so complicated.

If at that time Thorin dared to violate the contract and not give him the share of the treasure that was originally agreed upon.

Then he would know how irrational it was to offend a wizard.

After signing in and obtaining the contract magic, Dui became more familiar with a wider range of magic and began to study its contents with great interest.

The people who arrived at River Valley City were not in a hurry to go to Lonely Mountain immediately.

Instead, he lived in a house that Dui had repaired with magic.

For there is still some time until the Day of Durin.

According to the information on the map analyzed by Elrond, as long as they reach the back door of the Lonely Mountain on Durin's Day, and when the last ray of light of the day shines on the keyhole, they can open the back door and enter the Lonely Mountain.

Everyone stayed in River Valley City and began to discuss plans and preparations for entering Lonely Mountain.

Seeing that Thorin was still stubborn and wanted to go to Lonely Mountain, and the other dwarves would not disobey his orders, Gandalf could only give advice and improve the dwarves' rough plan in order to prevent Thorin and others from making things worse and angering the dragon Smaug.

Everyone has only one mission, which is to steal the Arkenstone without the dragon noticing.

Avoid direct confrontation with the dragon Smaug.

As long as Thorin gets the Arkenstone, he can officially become the King under the Mountain, and use it to call on the seven tribes of dwarves to gather their strength to fight against the dragon and retake the Lonely Mountain.

It’s just that the dragon is very familiar with and sensitive to the smell of dwarves and humans, and once you get close, you will be detected by the dragon.

Therefore, Bilbo, a hobbit with stealth ability and unknown to the dragon, became the only choice.

As long as Bilbo secretly stole the Arkenstone from the dragon, they would not have to face the threat of the dragon.

But this plan was strongly opposed by Gandalf.

Because the dragon has already awakened, any movement cannot be hidden from the dragon's eyes. Even if Bilbo has the hobbit's stealth talent, it is difficult for him to avoid being discovered by the dragon.

Letting Bilbo steal the Arkenstone from the dragon, what's the difference between this and letting him die?

But in the end, Bilbo's initiative made Gandalf silent.

Chapter 98 Animagus

"Bilbo, are you sure you want to do this?"

Dui didn't expect Bilbo to take the initiative to stand up, and reminded him very seriously.

"The dragon has awakened. It might be waiting for us to fall into its trap. It would be very dangerous if you go there. You might even die!"

Bilbo smiled brightly in the face of Gandalf and Due's worried and disapproving attitudes.

"After all, isn't this what I came here for?"

"My luck has always been good. Maybe I'll find the Arkenstone right away when I get in, and I won't encounter a dragon at all!"

Gandalf was filled with worry at Bilbo's words, which seemed to comfort them as well as himself, and he even felt a little regretful for involving this innocent hobbit in this trouble.

Instead, Dewi watched Bilbo put one hand unconsciously into his pocket, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Although Bilbo was speaking words of comfort, wasn't he also confident in himself, or in the One Ring in his pocket?

Since Bilbo, the real person, agreed, Due and Gandalf naturally had no reason to object on his behalf.

However, before the arrival of Durin's Day, the full moon night appeared first.

Dui removed the mandrake leaf that he had held under his tongue for a whole month and placed it in a crystal vial filled with his own saliva.

Then he added a strand of his hair and a silver teaspoon of dew to a crystal bottle illuminated by the moonlight.

Dew was collected by Dui when he passed through Mirkwood before. Dew must be collected from places that have not seen sunlight or human contact for seven days, and there are many places in Mirkwood that are dark and no one can reach.

Finally, Dewy added a hawk moth pupa.

After doing all this, all you need to do now is put this mixture in a quiet, dark, undisturbed place until the next thunderstorm comes, then dig it out and drink it in one gulp to complete the final Animagus transformation.

But thunderstorms with lightning are unpredictable, so the wait for a storm to arrive can be weeks, months, or even years.

This is also why it is difficult for Animagus to succeed. After all, the probability of success depends entirely on luck.

However, this step is not a problem for Dui.

If the mountain is not me, then I am the mountain.

Since the arrival of a storm cannot be predicted, he will find a place where storms are frequent and bury the crystal bottle there, so he doesn't have to wait for the storm to come.

And Dui just happened to know such a place.

So Dui said goodbye to everyone overnight, used a repair spell to repair a fireplace in River Valley City, connected it to the fireplace in the Valley with the Floo network, sprinkled a handful of Floo powder and teleported to the Valley.

In Rivendell, Elrond had not returned yet. After a brief greeting with the elven twins Elrohir and Elladan, Due flew off on his broomstick towards the Misty Mountains.

The place he was going to was the high pass of the Misty Mountains.

There are thunderstorms all year round there, making it the perfect place to bury crystal bottles.

Dui rode his broom all the way to the high pass smoothly.

The rock giants who once played here are no longer there, leaving only traces of the mess caused by the huge rocks.

Dui found a quiet, dark place in the canyon where he would not be disturbed, and buried the crystal bottle deep in the ground.

And use magic to set up protection around, just in case.

After doing all this, all you have to do next is wait quietly for the thunderstorm to come.

Dui looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds, full of anticipation.

I think with the weather conditions here all year round, it won’t be long before the thunderstorm arrives.

Then Dui left this place, returned to the valley, and returned to the valley city through the fireplace.

"Is everything all right, Doil?" Gandalf asked as Doil emerged from the fireplace.

Dui was in a good mood and nodded with a smile: "It went very smoothly. Now we just have to wait for the next thunderstorm to appear."

"That will be soon. I remember there were many thunderstorms in the Misty Mountains," Gandalf said with a grin.

"I think I'll be able to see your Animagus soon. I'm really looking forward to it!"

"I'm really curious what animal you can turn into. Apart from the skin-changing people, this is the first time I've seen magic that can transform into an animal."

Dui was also curious about what kind of animal his Animagus was.

Although the form of an Animagus is generally the same as that of a Patronus, this is not always the case.

Some people's Patronuses change as their temperament changes, such as Severus Snape's Patronus becoming a female stag due to the death of Lily Evans.

Therefore, although the guardian angel has a certain reference value, it does not necessarily become the same animal.

Of course, it would be nice if his Animagus was an owl, which not only could fly but also had night vision, making it very suitable for concealment or sneaking.

The only regret is that Animagus transformation is usually limited to non-magical creatures. If it is transformed into a magical creature, it will have unpredictable serious consequences.

Otherwise, if you have an Animagus like the Phoenix, Fire Dragon, or Thunderbird, you can definitely use the Animagus to its full potential.

Thinking of this, Dui couldn't help but think of Beorn, who could turn into a giant bear.

Beorn's giant bear form is not an ordinary bear. Not only is it huge and powerful, it also has super strong defense. It is not an exaggeration to call it the giant earth bear.

According to Gandalf, the skin-changers to which Beorn belonged were originally humans living in the Misty Mountains. They gained the ability to transform into giant bears after receiving the gift of the spirit of nature.

Dui was very curious about this. If he had the chance, he would like to study the secrets and see if he could apply them to Animagus.

If I could upgrade my Animagus into a magical creature, that would be a real win!

But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. He hasn't even completed the Animagus yet, so he put this idea aside for the time being.

As the Day of Durin approaches, everyone sets out again.

This time, Dui turned into a driver and took everyone around to the back of Lonely Mountain.

But he didn't have Gandalf's patience, and he had to go back and forth to pull people one by one.

So he cast a levitation spell on everyone, then tied everyone up with a long rope and tied the other end to a broom.
