Chapter 206 Their Era
Not every young wizard is opposed to the field of magical creature breeding; at least the Weasley brothers were extremely enthusiastic in the ensuing discussion, eagerly hoping to hear Hagrid describe this fascinating magical field again.
Yes, the Weasley brothers.
Percy, the third son of the Weasleys, was thinking of the demon that Professor Lockhart had encountered at his home in Hogsmeade. He had a utilitarian side to him, hoping to have a chance to impress the professor.
Ron, on the other hand, simply wanted to find a companion for his pet mouse, Scabbers. He and Scabbers were so close that he hoped this pet, whose lineage had been passed down through several generations in his family, could have a "continuation of life." However, the young wizard was always ashamed to talk about mating and similar terms, so he could only pretend to enjoy the class and listen attentively.
The other two Weasleys, the twin brothers, truly possess unique talent in this area.
They began discussing the possibility of breeding new varieties of *Pu Rongrong*.
Puffballs are magical creatures that look like fluffy balls. They are widely used as pets in the wizarding world and are very easy to care for; these scavengers can be fed leftovers.
Ginny once owned a fluffy cat, until Fred used it for experiments, and then that was the end of it.
George and Fred were hoping to breed a smaller version of the Puffy, believing it would earn them a lot of money to research prank toys.
Living in a peaceful era, they had not yet attempted to create combat magical items with armor-enhancing abilities.
He was more interested in doing interesting things, and he has already shown great talent.
However, none of these students were the ones that Professor Lockhart was most satisfied with among the members of the Duel Club.
Hermione came up with an idea that Lockhart hadn't even considered.
On the way back, she approached Professor Lockhart and whispered, "Professor, since we can find suitable pairs based on the magical properties of magical creatures and systematically breed offspring, is it possible to directly alter the magical properties of magical creatures and go further to directly obtain the new species we want?"
"!!!" Grindelwald was shocked and turned around in disbelief to look at the little witch.
What happened to the kindness and compassion you just showed?
The way you're thinking right now doesn't sound like something a person like you would say!
This was an extremely chilling feeling for Old Guy.
Human behavior is guided by human will and thought. It may seem unfathomable, but in fact, there is a clear trajectory in one's eyes. By looking forward along this trajectory, one can naturally see the future.
But now, he's seen a guy who's gone off track!
Grindelwald squinted, his heterochromatic eyes flashing, feeling that the future of this little witch before him was becoming unpredictable.
This is·
He glanced at Lockhart beside him and realized that this young man seemed to have changed the fate of the little witch in front of him!
Lockhart had no idea that old Guy had so many thoughts running through his mind. He pondered the little witch's words, "Yes, that seems feasible."
Snape nodded in agreement. "Wizards infected with wolfsbane transform into werewolves on the night of a full moon, and their magical properties undergo a dramatic change. I've also studied Animagus; the same thing happens when a wizard uses this shapeshifting spell to become an animal."
Seeing Hermione and several other young wizards listening attentively, he was somewhat satisfied and continued, "You should know that when wizards become werewolves, they become ruthless and only know how to kill and spread wolf venom. When they become werewolves, they have no consciousness as humans; they only remember everything they have done after they regain their human form."
"The Animagus level is slightly weaker. The wizard still retains his own will, but his thinking is suppressed by his animalistic nature. He will involuntarily do some things that only animals would do, and sometimes even his eating preferences will change."
He looked at Harry and the others with a hint of malice, saying, "If you ever learn to be Animagus, you'd better pray you don't turn into dogs, otherwise you might instinctively eat shit at some point!"
"!!!" The little wizards all leaned back, indicating that they could not accept it.
Lockhart chuckled. "In fact, the animals that Animagus transform into are often related to the forms of your guardian spirits, because they all originate from the same mental reflection."
"Of course, if your guardian spirit is some kind of magical creature, your Animagus form will deviate, but there will still be a few that are similar."
That's quite a delicate situation.
As Lockhart spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the Madago cat following beside him.
In the magical world, the Madagascar cat is a large, magical cheetah-like cat, but in the Muggle world, it is an ordinary small animal without magical powers, just like the Animagus.
hiss.
Is there some kind of connection between these things?
Lockhart suddenly had a vague feeling that he had grasped some key point!
No matter how he thought about it, he could never quite grasp that idea.
"Actually, there's another amazing situation in potions." Snape looked at Harry and his two friends, knowing that the three little guys had secretly flipped through the book "Potions of Power" after Gilderoy returned it to the library, and said meaningfully, "Potion of Polyjuice Potion, a potion used for human transformation, which can make a wizard look like someone else."
"This potion has a problem that few people know: if you drink the Polyjuice Potion and become a different person, and you die before you turn back, your body will not revert to its original form after death; you will still look like the other person."
"This is an example of how a wizard's magical properties can change in a way that they are unaware of."
"As the appearance changes, the magical properties also change!"
As the saying goes, "Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me."
As Lockhart listened to Snape's account, he suddenly realized that Voldemort was increasingly resembling a noseless snake-faced creature.
Are one's own magical properties, or even one's mind, also changing?
Perhaps there's more to the relationship between Tom Riddle, the Horcrux in his diary, and Voldemort than meets the eye.
It wasn't just the two professors giving their opinions; after a year of joint training, the young wizards of the Duel Club also began to think about and explore some of the essential aspects of magic.
They are all exceptional individuals, each with their own ideas and perspectives. When they discuss these ideas, they benefit from each other's experiences, including Snape and Lockhart.
Grindelwald, who had been chattering incessantly, suddenly fell silent, following behind and looking at the group of people in front of him with a strange expression.
changed!
The future has changed completely!
Of course, the future is always uncertain, but there are patterns to follow. Grindelwald can always see the most likely futures.
But the discussion among these people seemed to bring about an endless array of future possibilities.
His expression was so strange that it was hard to imagine that each of these people seemed to have a great influence on the future.
Yes, every single one.
Even the most inconspicuous junior wizard students, quietly listening on the sidelines, may seem unremarkable, but they too will likely stand on the international stage in the future, wielding far-reaching influence.
How is that possible?
Grindelwald blinked, for the first time feeling a slight bewilderment at his own prophetic abilities.
Is there a mistake?
Or was it the origin of the great era he encountered?
As a prophet and a wizard with a deep understanding of the history of magic, Grindelwald knew very well that many wizards who achieved great things in history did not necessarily have any special talents. Sometimes it was just a matter of chance, with the tides of the times pushing them forward, giving them more opportunities to enhance their spiritual power and unleash more magical abilities.
And this seems to be precisely the "romance of fairy tale adventure" that Lockhart describes.
That's incredible.
Lockhart has clearly forged a remarkable magical path and led so many people along with him.
Grindelwald suddenly understood Dumbledore's thoughts. This young man in front of him might actually lead a new era, an era that doesn't require them, the old guys, to carry the burden.
He began to observe these people with great interest.
As the sun set, a corner of the sky was covered with orange-red clouds. The young wizard and two professors walked back to Hogwarts Castle, discussing their respective views with great enjoyment.
