Chapter 143: The Great Public Lounge
Chapter 144 The Great Common Room
Zhang Xiao did not rush in, but stayed there and watched with interest.
A sixth-year Ravenclaw student walked up the marble stairs, and paused when he saw so many people, as if he was a little surprised why he did not go in.
He then carefully looked at the stone dragon and the inscription below.
"Do not disturb the sleeping dragon?"
He pinched his chin, showing a relaxed smile, took out his wand and circled it above his head, and whispered:
"Disillusionment!"
He was like a chameleon, with the color and texture of his whole body exactly the same as the surrounding environment.
The sixth-year Ravenclaw student took a step and passed through the stone dragon easily and freely. As expected, he did not cause any movement and walked in.
The little wizards around sighed with envy, but the Disillusionment Charm is a very advanced spell, and only students in the fifth grade or above can use it.
Zhang Xiao looked around and found that almost all of them were little wizards under the fifth grade. The number of wizards increased in stages, and the younger they were, the more they were.
There were also many first-grade little wizards who were not allowed to go to the big common room and stood aside to watch the fun.
Dumbledore's intention was almost understood. Zhang Xiao took a step and walked over leisurely under the gaze of the little wizards.
Since the purpose is to train the little wizards, in addition to outsmarting, stealth, and cooperation, there should also be a direct frontal attack, right?
Five fingers opened, and the magic wand made a buzzing sound and jumped into the fingertips.
"Snap" The soles of the Martin boots stepped on the smooth floor, making a crisp sound, as if crossing an invisible line.
The stone dragon's eyes suddenly opened, shook its body, stretched like a living thing, and let out a long howl at Zhang Xiao.
It also has a little detection ability? Know that I am much stronger than the previous little wizard?
It's just a little noisy. The stone dragon flapped its wings, raised a claw and slapped Zhang Xiao fiercely.
The little wizards couldn't help but scream out in surprise, and many little witches covered their eyes directly, not wanting to see Zhang Xiao being hit.
Zhang Xiao leaned slightly to the right, and the tip of the magic wand also pointed to the ground. When the stone claw hit the sky above his head, the magic wand swung from bottom to top.
If Zhang Chengdao saw it, he would definitely recognize that this was a sword move, and this was using the magic wand as a sword.
With a loud "bang", at the moment when the stone claw and the magic wand met, an illusory light shield suddenly flashed at the tip of the magic wand.
The stone dragon let out a wail, its claws bounced high, and its body was also pulled back by the rebound force, and it took several steps back.
"Wow! What is this?" "How did you do it?" "Do you see that shield?" "So cool!"
"Great! Zhang! Show it some power!"
The little wizards burst into warm cheers and whistled to encourage Zhang Xiao.
Percy, who had just arrived hand in hand with Penelope, pushed his glasses and said affirmatively:
"Advanced application of the Shield Charm! Pepe, can you use it?"
The beautiful Ravenclaw prefect bit her lip and shook her head a little embarrassedly.
"No, I can whisper it, but I can't cast it silently."
Zhang Xiao smiled softly. It was not long ago that he figured out how to deflect the opponent's spell in the movie he watched before.
The Shield Charm is not a long-lasting spell. Its duration may only be a few seconds. The strength of Dumbledore or Professor Flitwick McGonagall may be able to extend it.
But it is definitely not a long-lasting protection like the universal protection.
After understanding this, I simply regarded the Shield Charm as a wizard's counter/blocking skill, and it was the kind that took several seconds to determine the time!
A few seconds!
In the previous life, I was used to playing those inhuman games, and experienced fast and slow knives, combination skills
Blocking with the Shield Charm really requires hands! Except for the Avada Kedavra spell with the word "danger", if it's a 1v1, I lose if I miss it!
This stone dragon's fighting wisdom is obviously very high. When it stands and retreats, the long tail with thorns is like a whip, with a strange whistle and lashing fiercely.
Zhang Xiao took the opportunity to pull back the magic wand, and thrust the magic wand forward fiercely with a sword-like thrust, "Retreat!"
A strong invisible shock wave burst out from the tip of the wand, and the dragon let out a painful roar. The long tail actually cracked under the attack of two huge forces.
The stone dragon suddenly spread its wings and flapped hard to keep its body balanced. The huge wings brought a gust of wind.
Zhang Xiao continued to walk forward, waving the magic wand casually, and the huge curtain on the wall suddenly floated up and rolled and twisted rapidly in the air, turning into a giant python with a single horn on its head.
The giant python opened its bloody mouth and roared silently at the stone dragon, and the stone dragon also roared.
Seeing that the two giants were about to fight, the surrounding little wizards retreated one after another, and many of them swallowed their saliva nervously.
The stone dragon shook its head, scratched the ground with its four thick claws, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and pounced on the horned giant snake.
A dull "puff" sound came from the body of the giant python, and the huge body fell softly on the ground like a deflated ball.
Soon it turned into a velvet blue curtain again.
The stone dragon was stunned, but the surrounding little wizards had already cheered. It turned back hurriedly, but found that Zhang Xiao had put the wand back.
Standing at the door of the small gate, he waved to himself and made a goodbye gesture.
The stone dragon roared angrily, but shook his body helplessly, lay back in place, closed his eyes again, and snored in a doze.
Yo, it's quite smart! So magic is unreasonable. The intelligence shown by the stone dragon should be considered a high-level AI in the previous life, right?
After complaining silently for a while, Zhang Xiao pushed open the small door.
The first thing he felt was the smell of grass and flowers, the gentle wind, and the pleasant chirping.
A vine passage full of various unknown small flowers appeared in front of Zhang Xiao.
Zhang Xiao curiously walked into this passage made entirely of plants. The passage was not long.
He seriously suspected that this passage was made by Dumbledore, because he had talked to him about "Alice in Wonderland" when chatting before, and recommended him a Muggle movie that had just been released - "My Neighbor Totoro".
There are similar passages inside, and passing through the passages will lead to a magical world.
The passage is not long, and soon Zhang Xiao walked to the end. Turning a corner, there was a light completely different from candles and fireplaces.
This light is warm and gentle, just like the most comfortable sunshine in the autumn afternoon, cool and warm. I covered my eyes with my hands, turned my head slightly, and walked forward a few steps.
Then I came to a new world.
The big common room is not what I imagined. Dumbledore and the professors seem to be determined to show the power of magic to the little wizards here.
Show how incredible things wizards can do when they master enough advanced magic.
The forest and tree house of the elves, the underground pits of the dwarves, and the blue sea with beautiful mermaids sitting on the reef combing their long golden hair like a waterfall.
On the flat grassland, the lion with a mane led the little lions to patrol their territory, with a clear blue sky above their heads.
Zhang Xiao looked around at the dreamlike scene. Many students were also shocked by the scene in front of them. The Weasley brothers were flying back and forth in the sky on brooms.
Release some fiery fireworks, and you can hear them shouting:
"Great! I love Hogwarts! I love magic! Long live Dumbledore!"
Below are the little wizards who are also waving their fists excitedly. They never thought that magic could be like this.
Every inch of the ground and sky here is full of magic.
Here you can explore the mysteries of magic at will. You can use magic to go into the water and see where the mermaids live.
You can also make friends with those generous dwarves. Although they are all alchemical products (sponsored by Nicolas Flamel), their intelligence seems to be quite high.
Go to the dwarf city and see the wild and rough dwarf style.
Or ride a lion and patrol the entire grassland majestically.
Even talk about knowledge and art with the proud elves. These alchemical elves have been instilled with a lot of basic knowledge.
When you have some basic questions, asking these elves is the best choice.
In the center of the whole small world stands the huge statues of four colleges.
The roaring Gryffindor lion, the winding Slytherin silver snake, the flapping Ravenclaw eagle, and the Hufflepuff honey badger.
In the center of the enclosure is finally a familiar lounge, a room as big as a chapel.
There are benches and tables placed randomly, thick carpets on the ground, and a large fireplace in the center of the circular lounge.
But now there is no one here, and all the little wizards who come in are going crazy outside.
How is this done?
Zhang Xiao looked at the dreamlike scene in amazement. Did they forcibly distort some places?
Or was it expanded by the traceless stretching spell and then rebuilt and filled?
What kind of horrible magic level is this? It's almost arbitrary, what you think is what you get, right?
And this room is obviously full of Muggle fantasy style. The creativity of wizards is not high, and many of their things are still in their previous state.
This room should be a reference to the Lord of the Rings by Dumbledore, right?
Dwarves, elves.
Just then, a bustling noise came from behind, and a group of little wizards rushed in from the passage.
They stretched out their hands, shouted and rushed out, and then were fascinated by the scene in front of them, like stone statues, looking at everything in front of them in disbelief.
Some little wizards from Muggle families covered their mouths. At this time, the shock brought to them by magic was far greater than waving a wand to make objects fly or deform.
"This is magic!"
After exclaiming like this, they did not forget to turn around and thank the passage loudly.
"Draco! Thank you!"
Malfoy put his hands behind his back, trying not to let himself show a smug smile, and slowly walked out of the passage.
Behind him were three little ones with stinky faces.
Soon the four of them were also attracted by this magical public lounge and forgot everything, just like Zhang Xiao before.
They just stared at the scene in front of them in a daze. The senior students passing by did not laugh at them because they also looked like idiots when they first came in.
Hermione suddenly raised her hands and cheered:
"This is the magical world I imagined! Hogwarts is really great!"
Zhang Xiao nodded at the four people and asked curiously:
"Draco, didn't you leave before me? Why did you come in now?
I didn't see you outside just now, and I thought everyone had come in."
Malfoy smiled reservedly and glanced at the three little ones:
"When I saw that the little wizards were blocked outside, I realized that this was a great opportunity."
Oh, the pony also found it? Sure.
"It's an opportunity to show Slytherin's leadership! And quickly formulate a plan.
But in the plan, I lack a few reckless lions with good level and dare to charge at the stone dragon."
Ron blushed, Harry took out his wand, and Hermione rolled up his sleeves.
"Ahem" Malfoy quickly skipped this sentence:
"Anyway, when I was looking for such warriors, I happened to meet Potter and Granger who were discussing whether to use the invisibility cloak to pass over."
No, what about me? Am I not there too? Ron stared at Malfoy, as if this would remind him to bring himself with him.
Unfortunately, Malfoy had already turned to Zhang Xiao, his pale face full of excitement:
"I gathered the little wizards together, commanded them to work together, and finally passed the dragon. Zhang, I finally proved that Slytherin is a natural leader by myself!"
The three little ones finally couldn't help it. They loudly denounced Malfoy's "shamelessness" and talked about the truth at that time.
It turned out that Malfoy used the kite tactics they used in the Forbidden Forest.
The three little ones pulled the dragon away, and Malfoy took care of it on the side, and the little wizards ran in one after another.
Of course, the dragon couldn't fight as hard as it did with Zhang Xiao. Stopping the little wizards from entering was not the purpose, but the means.
As long as they show courage, wisdom, unity and strategy, it will turn a blind eye and let them in.
To confront directly like Zhang Xiao did, it is naturally to show strength, and it must have a good fight.
He greeted the four little ones who were still in a daze: "Let's go, instead of watching here, why not experience it yourself?"
When it was time to close, everyone reluctantly came to the central square, and under the supervision of the professors, they stepped into a small door, looking back every few steps.
A few little wizards were ready to hide, but they ignored the alchemical creatures, and they shouted loudly:
"There are still a few students here!"
"Students don't go back to the dormitory!"
Finally, under the stern eyes of the professors and the punishment of not being allowed to come to the big public lounge for three days, this group of little wizards finally put away their little thoughts and lined up honestly to leave.
When they passed through the small door, they found that they had come to the restaurant on the first floor again. Of course, this small change was not taken to heart by them.
They left in twos and threes, communicating excitedly, and it seemed that they couldn't wait to share this magical experience with others.
And Zhang Xiao was finally ready to start the delayed plan last semester, the small duel club.

1. Monthly ticket 2. Recommendation ticket
I am really sorry, I am on a business trip. I talked to everyone in the group about the problems that may have occurred. Some problems do exist, but they are not in the outline, but I overlooked something. I will think about it on the way to the business trip tomorrow and see if I can make up for it.
