Chapter 262 Competition Clubs and Research

Anton didn't fully agree with Dumbledore's statement. Just like what Old Deng himself said, everyone has their own understanding of magic.

In Anton's view, wizards, the environment, and magic are factors that affect each other. To tap the power of magic from the heart, we must also tap the power of magic from the environment.

Environment, an interesting factor.

As a time traveler, rather than a native aborigine, Anton has observations of the external environment that others do not have.

Especially when a fork in the road is in front of him, every choice he makes represents his future magical path.

Miraculously, fate has entangled everything together.

Anton believes in the theory of fate, not the kind of fate that is born with good life or born with poor life, but the kind of fate that is unpredictable and has an invisible hand.

He regards fate as a great magic.

Time, too, is a great magic.

And the soul, too.

In this world of wizards, everything is wrapped in magic, and it operates skillfully within fate, time, and soul.

"I like magic." Anton put away the 'Mermaid's Song' pendant in his hand, and grabbed Dumbledore's arm.

Old Deng shrugged, "Oh, me too, it's always been like this."

Phew~~~~

In an instant, they appeared in Dumbledore's office.

...

...

Coming out of Dumbledore's office, Anton brought a lot of materials, all about world events.

There are also records of some schools participating in the competition.

Anton even saw the name of Snape's mother in the information. This lady was once the captain of the Hogwarts Gobstones team and represented the school in international competitions.

This is outrageous, Anton has never heard of this team.

Gobstone is a kind of board game, a bit like checkers, because it is more suitable for children to play, it has not been taken seriously.

Likewise, there are tournaments in Wizard Chess, and there are clubs in schools dedicated to Wizard Chess.

It was at this time that Anton could feel the enthusiasm of the Quidditch game in the wizarding world. This is just one of the countless magic events in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

There are almost no traces of these events in the original book.

Anton looked through the information on the form one by one, only to find that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were participating in many competitions.

Especially the 'Barnabus Finkley Spellcasting Award' that Dumbledore mentioned earlier, this competition was held at Easter last year, and there were students from their school participating in the competition.

"..."

For this reason, Anton made a special trip to the trophy showroom in Hogwarts Castle, only to discover countless games that he had never heard of before.

And there is an interesting title that jumps into view.

--club.

Hogwarts has countless clubs, which usually stand with the appearance of the organizer and disappear with the departure of the organizer.

This kind of thing is a bit novel to Anton, but it is probably common to Europeans and Americans.

He remembered that in the original book, Lockhart once held a club—the Dueling Club.

In the data, there are many more...

Professor Flitwick's Charms Club.

Professor Slughorn's (retired) Slug Club, members of this club are now spread all over the wizarding world, absolutely powerful contacts.

Ambrosio Froome, owner of Honeydukes Candy Shop.

Barnabas Guffey, Editor-in-Chief of the Daily Prophet.

Dirk Cresswell, Goblin Liaison Officer.

Regulus Black, Sirius' younger brother.

Wendy Slinka, author of Defense Against Magic Theory.

Too much too much.

Anton saw a lot of familiar names in the list: Lily Evans (Harry Potter's mother), Lucius Malfoy, Tom Riddle...

Life in the magic school is more colorful than imagined.

Anton is not interested in clubs in the school, but cares about various competitions and organizations.

He is willing to try this new thing, and he estimates that the members of the hut will also like it. Maybe they can organize such a group activity sometime to go outside the school.

Of course, it may not be possible recently, because everyone is busy.

Hannah and Neville are going to study herbalism with Professor Sprout, George and Fred are breeding pygmy pompoms, and Anton is focusing on finding a cure for werewolves and blood-cursed orcs.

At the same time, they also have to study the "Return" war chess together, and develop some interesting cottage products from time to time, which are used for their research funds for war chess.

Anton went to Lupine's office to make an appointment with him to draw a magic image, and then returned to the hut.

The magic of the Mirror of Erised, the magic of the Stone of Erised, Mrs. Norris' cat spirit affinity, the death cry of the Mandrake...

He needs to analyze the common magic that detects the emotions, will, and memory of wizards.

A three-dimensional magical image of colorful stripes, patterns and dark green cracks.

The side image of the soul composed of black lines.

Although the workload has become more and more, Anton seems to have found the right way. Relying on the large amount of knowledge he has learned in the past, and supporting references one by one, he has stripped the magic spell he needs from the complete image bit by bit. come out.

At the same time, as Anton's research entered a dangerous field, he moved the research site to the ground of the hut.

The little snake was released by him, and a bubble head spell was released on the snake's head to block any sound.

Anton sat at the experimental table and wrote and drew quickly.

Before long, waving his wand, he had the vines of the elephant-eating vine grab a rune snake from the snake den next door as a test subject.

The wand twirled in his hand and rested lightly on his neck.

"Ah~~~~~"

An extremely sharp voice came from his throat, and under the vision of the wizard's eyes, strange circles of magic power images appeared, killing the rune snake in an instant.

"No, the power should be lowered. My purpose is not to kill, but to control the black thread of the soul." Anton frowned and recorded the experimental steps in his notebook.

The little snake walked along the wall, as if it was going to find a gap in the vines to escape, but it could only run into walls everywhere.

In fact, this basement has been quietly converted into an extremely strong place.

On the outside of the vine-woven wall, there are actually countless metal ores found from the ground stacked and staggered, and the top, bottom, left, and right sides are surrounded by stones that do not belong to the thickness of the city wall.

Between each stone is the strong and thick root system of the elephant vine, tightly wrapping everything.

Each node of these root systems can, when necessary, grow vines strong enough to crush an elephant.

As for the little snake's body that can't cast a spell, I'm afraid it won't even try to slip away in this life.
