The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Delix, didn't anyone tell you when you were in school that Hogwarts is a magical castle, and repair spells often can't solve problems?" Professor McGonagall covered her forehead and stretched the corners of her mouth. covered in smile.

Delis:......

How could he know this? He was an absolute good student when he was in school. How could he be involved in such things as destroying the castle? It has not been damaged, and of course it has not been repaired. So he didn't know that some damaged places in Hogwarts Castle could not be repaired by ordinary repair spells.

"Restore as before" is a very interesting spell. It is a spell that can be used to seamlessly repair most damaged objects. However, for objects with powerful or complex magic, such as wands, the repair spell cannot achieve the desired effect. Sometimes only its physical form can be repaired, but magical damage cannot be repaired. Unless you're using the Elder Wand, this powerful wand can repair other wands.

The repair spell can only repair objects. If it is used on people or animals, it will cause serious scars. In addition to the limitations of the object itself, the damage caused by some rare and powerful curses cannot be repaired by this spell.

Moreover, the repair spell is to "restore the original", so how to define the "original" of an item? Suppose a jade seal is broken and one corner is broken, and then gold is used to repair it. After a while, I accidentally - "snap" and fell into two pieces. The wizard came over with a magic wand and cast a repair spell. Is there still a corner of gold in the repaired jade seal?

some! If the gold is lost, it is no longer a repair spell. Because when it comes to making gold disappear and making jade that turned into powder return, this is not something that ordinary wizards can do. Therefore, the initial state of the jade seal identified by the repair spell is the state of gold inlaid with jade.

So what is the initial state of this corridor in Hogwarts? Was it just repaired a thousand years ago? Or... there are too many possibilities, and ordinary wizards simply can't fix it.

Delis lost a little face and Fudge lost a big face.

Both of them were embarrassed. In the end, Fudge coughed twice and said that the Ministry of Magic would definitely allocate funds to repair the corridor. Then he asked Professor McGonagall about the budget and changed the subject.

This is not blackmail by Dumbledore, but because he wants to build the Magic Castle. It would be very expensive to hire people from outside the school. The people who come need to have attainments in alchemy. Of course, Dumbledore did not tell Fudge. In fact, you can do it yourself. After all, Dumbledore was also a master of alchemy.

Just when Fudge wanted to end this embarrassing search trip, Umbridge opened her mouth again: "It is said that a troll broke into Hogwarts on Halloween and injured a student. Why don't we ask Ask that student?"

Fudge wanted to scold her a few words, but he was still vaguely unwilling in his heart: After all the hard work, he came here and ended up embarrassing himself?

It’s the same old saying: Come and come. Anyway, I’ve already lost my face, and I don’t need more than a few minutes!

So he turned to Dumbledore and said: "I promise you, I will just ask a few questions, and we will leave after asking!" Dumbledore still looked calm and relaxed, and he didn't say much and looked directly at Go to the Ravenclaw common room.

They found Tom who had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the lounge.

As soon as he saw Tom, Fudge smiled very kindly. Fudge, I can't say he is smart and capable, but he is also a piece of trash. But everyone has a bright spot - even poop can fertilize the fields! One good thing about Fudge is that he is very people-friendly and kind. Whenever he gets along with the little wizards, he is always as amiable as the fat uncle next door.

This point cannot be denied even if one looks at Fudge through colored glasses.

Fudge chatted with Tom cordially for a few words. The conversation changed and they started talking about the events of Halloween, especially how the trolls were driven away.

Tom's face turned red and he didn't want to speak.

Fudge patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging smile, "Don't worry, kid. Come, tell your uncle what happened that day..."

Tom looked extremely embarrassed. He took a few deep breaths and finally said: "Okay, actually the troll knocked me out with one blow... When I woke up, Professor Dumbledore and the others were already cleaning up the giant troll. Weird blood stains."

The faces of Fudge and the other three suddenly changed.

Umbridge couldn't hold it back any longer, so she spoke quickly: "Didn't you say that a three-headed dog saved you?"

Tom lowered his head and didn't dare to look at them, "I made it up... I don't know what animals there are in the magical world. I just heard the mythical story of the three-headed dog in the Muggle world, so I took it and used it. I think it's special." cool."

Fudge's breath was stagnant. At first, he thought that this child had colluded with Dumbledore and the others to lie, but then he thought about it: What does a first-year wizard know? Where did such realistic acting come from?

so……

It’s really possible that I was deceived!

Fudge felt dizzy. His first reaction was to block the news. If the Daily Prophet found out about this, he would become a laughing stock!

Dumbledore then stroked his beard and said to Fudge, "Someone was poaching unicorns in the Forbidden Forest recently. He was discovered by Hagrid yesterday, but he ran away. It may be that he sent false news, so that This involves our energy..."

Fudge got off the donkey and immediately put on an angry look: "He dares to poach even unicorns. This is no longer an ordinary wizard. He wants to hit hard! Is there anyone who is suspicious? I will go back to the Ministry of Magic right away. Issue a wanted warrant and be sure to put him in Azkaban!"

Professor McGonagall said thoughtfully: "Professor Quirrell has not been seen since last night..."

Fudge immediately became energetic. He wanted to go back to the Ministry to issue a wanted warrant, but was stopped by Dumbledore. Quirrell was currently only a strong suspect, but there was no evidence. He needed to be found to verify it.

At this time, Quirrell strode into the corridor on the fourth floor. At this time, the blocking dog had been transferred by Dumbledore. Although Quirrell couldn't figure out why this dog seemed to appear anywhere - the castle, the Forbidden Forest, the corridor on the fourth floor, it was indeed gone now and would definitely not appear again.

So he took action and decided to take away the magic stone in one go. But the world behind the door was somewhat beyond his expectation: it turned out to be a shabby classroom. He walked around the classroom and discovered the mystery. He took out his wand and knocked on a raised floor. A trap door appeared out of thin air. He opened the trap door and jumped in.

The breakthrough has begun.
