The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Chapter 135 The first task is to open the teleportation point

"So it's a... Redemption from Azkaban?" Erwin said.

"What's that?" Riddle obviously didn't understand.

"There's a Muggle movie called The Shawshank Redemption," Erwin said, "it's about a man who's been framed for decades to escape from prison..."

He stopped suddenly.

"The Shawshank Redemption" was released in 1994, and now it's only the summer vacation of 1993.

Of course he doesn't have the ability to see the future. This movie only exists in his memory, and it probably won't appear in this world.

It seems that as his understanding of magic deepens, there is no time to doubt the authenticity of this world.

No, it is precisely because he wants to understand the fundamentals of this world that he chooses to start with magic. The path he is walking is also the way to solve his doubts.

He came to his senses.

"You mean that this Black has endured for more than ten years and finally found the loophole in Azkaban?" Riddle said, "If this is indeed the case, his perseverance is really amazing."

"Anyway, what does this have to do with us living in downtown London?" Melanie, who had been silent before, said in a very leisurely tone: "As long as this fugitive has a normal mind, he will never What kind of trouble is caused in normal society."

"But he is probably a lunatic without any compassion. Since he has followed the Dark Lord, he must have malice towards Muggles." Hermione retorted.

"Wouldn't it be better if he really showed up around here?" Erwin jokingly said, "As long as you provide information, you can get a reward of [-] Galleons. If the report is successful, Hermione, you don't have to worry about your expenses before graduation." gone."

To be honest, he himself was really looking forward to colliding with Sirius Black, because after his own strength improved significantly, he never had the opportunity to test his combat power.

The British magical society is safe and orderly. In such a society, it is basically impossible for second-year students at school to face dangerous situations where they need to fight by themselves.

The battle in the secret room can only be said to be an accident. He used Quasimodo to kill the basilisk, and Erwin himself had no chance to make a move.

This fugitive seemed to be a pretty good enemy. His strength was not bad. A long prison life would make him weak to a certain extent. There was no need to hold back his hands when dealing with him, and the guaranteed profit of victory was three thousand Galleons.

Erwin's magic power level is now roughly equivalent to that of an adult wizard evaluated by elites, but this rough evaluation cannot intuitively represent combat effectiveness, and actual combat must have many variables.

Erwin even felt that he could wrestle with a high-level wizard of Professor Snape's level, because if the opponent underestimated him and used powerful magic without first attacking, there was a high probability that Erwin's regular attack would be defeated in the first round of attack. The garrison armor and body protection are offset, and then they have to face the double blow of Erwin's spell and the rune gun.

If the high-ranking wizard reacts slower, doesn't arrange any life-saving measures for himself, and doesn't have any powerful magic items, then Erwin can gain a huge advantage and even win directly in one face-to-face.

Isn't that how Marduk died?Dipper told Erwin that the movement caused by Marduk's pursuit of him at that time inevitably alarmed the Ministry of Magic (this was obviously Dipper's intention), and it took him a lot of effort to settle it down. The Aurors who hunted down, so Marduk himself was in a state of mental exhaustion that night, and his magic power was consumed a lot.

He let his guard down when confronted with Erwin, the "harmless-looking" brat, thinking the gun pointed at him was nothing more than a toy.

Then the bastard suddenly showed his fangs, and Marduk was in tragedy.

Erwin now still has the support of Quasimodo. If it doesn't work, he can even use the half-expanded LeMay Cabin as an armor—as long as he doesn't mind the possibility of it being broken.

So Erwin felt that it shouldn't be a problem for him to deal with the fugitive.

The premise is that you can be lucky enough to meet it, and the chances are much lower than winning the Golden Galleon Award in the "Daily Prophet".

But Hermione felt that Erwin was joking indiscriminately, so she gave him a nasty look, then walked back to her room, slamming the door behind her.

"Actually, if I were allowed to touch his blood, even if it was dried blood, I would be able to find him accurately." Melanie leaned close to Erwin's ear and said softly at this time, the air flow that she exhaled made his ears a little itch.

Almost forgot, this female vampire has recovered her full strength.

Erwin shook his head, "There's no need to go through this muddy water."

There was really no need, because it was impossible to actively expose his own strength and Melanie's identity for the mere three thousand Galleons.

Of course, if it happens, Erwin doesn't mind being an anonymous and enthusiastic citizen for a while.

The discussion about the fugitive from Azkaban, Erwin thought it would only happen once, but a few days later, the British national television also started to broadcast the arrest warrant.

It's the same Sirius Black, only described as holding a gun with a lot of bullets.

Erwin couldn't help frowning. The British Ministry of Magic enforces the secrecy law, but he is doing something that violates the secrecy law?It seems that the evaluation of the Ministry of Magic's governance level seems to be downgraded again.

The editor of the "Daily Prophet" seems to have fallen into a state of high spirits because he finally discovered the hot issue. For several days, there were reports on this aspect. Threat... If you only read the newspaper, you will feel that the entire magic world is in panic because of this fugitive.

Erwin was just watching for fun.

In late August, the editor of the "Daily Prophet" probably couldn't write any more nonsense about fugitives to make up an article, so very reluctantly dropped the topic.It's not long before school starts.

Only then did Mrs. Granger know that Erwin was going to America as an exchange student. Everyone, including Hermione, forgot to tell her.

"How can you book a plane ticket just for Erwin?" Mrs. Granger felt that her father was unreasonable. "He's still so young!"

"Is it possible that I have to fly him to school and then fly back to England?" Professor Stewart was also very depressed.

"Don't worry," he comforted his daughter. "The student exchange program is a cooperation between the two schools. The two parties will definitely arrange transportation."

In fact, no, in Dumbledore's view, Erwin has been able to take care of himself.

Mrs. Granger was still not at ease, but at this time there were no air tickets booked.

In Erwin's view, there is not much difference between going to the United States and staying in the UK, because he is a wizard, a wizard who has mastered apparation.

Intercontinental teleportation is generally so dangerous that it is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic of various countries, but for Erwin, this is just one more step than ordinary apparition.

First teleport to the second-floor subspace of "Noven", and then teleport to the target location.

Now when he apparated back and forth between Frost Manor and Stuart's house, he would add such a transfer station step to make himself gradually familiar with this method.

After a few times, Riddle keenly noticed the abnormality, "Where did you go?"

"We're still far from having complete trust in each other, are we?" Erwin asked rhetorically.

"..."

"You've kept a lot of things from me too, haven't you?"

Riddle then stopped asking questions.

As for Thomas, the modification of the classic Anglia car is also nearing completion.

Improved defense, flight speed, and concealment.

It didn't change its appearance, because this classic car seems to be a living body, and it's best not to change its internal structure until Erwin is not sure that he can preserve the low-level soul attached to it.

Therefore, the appearance is still slightly worn out, like a classic car from the 50s.

Erwin looked at it, and felt that there seemed to be something missing, it should be lack of aggression?

Do you want to add a bump?That's no use either.

Wouldn't it be more fun if it could transform into a robot?

Thomas Transformers!

This seemingly unreliable idea is still very early to be realized. I don't know when the next upgrade to this classic car will be.

I can't bring it back to Ilvermorny, and Erwin is a hundred worried about leaving it to my uncle. The best way to arrange it is to let Melanie take it back to Hogwarts.

A week before term started, Hermione was off to Diagon Alley to buy her textbooks and supplies for the next school year.

When the family of three got into the car, Hermione was surprised to find that Erwin was there.

"Could it be that Ilvermorny's textbooks are also bought in Diagon Alley?" she asked sharply.

"I'm just here to run some errands." Erwin shrugged.

The Leaky Cauldron Bar has hardly changed from the first year. Customers who are a few years older still drink and chat as usual, but the content of the chat is still about the fugitive.

"Haven't you been caught yet?" Hermione was a little surprised, she suddenly saw a black-haired boy wearing glasses, "Harry! Why are you here!"

"I've been living in the Leaky Cauldron these days," said Potter.

When Hermione and Harry stood together, Erwin really felt that Hermione had grown taller this summer.

And Harry didn't seem to have changed, he was still so thin and small, which may have something to do with his malnutrition in childhood.

Erwin really wanted to sponsor him a set of body strengthening potions, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, classmate Potter is a figure that attracts everyone's attention.

However, I can point him to a pharmacy, which also provides a "healthy and healthy" package, but the price is a bit unreasonable.

It is also because of the high cost, so not all wizards are in good health. After all, in the eyes of most people, since they have magic and basically don't have to worry about diseases, their own physical strength is not very important.

"Why do you live here?" Hermione asked, "Aren't you supposed to live at your uncle's and aunt's house?"

One of Miss Nutria's signature traits is that she likes to ask questions and is very blind.

"Nothing." Harry mumbled.

While they were talking, Erwin walked alone into the backyard and into Diagon Alley.

The cauldron shop, the robe shop, the wand shop, the owl shop... were not his targets.

He came to open the teleportation point.

A wizard must be familiar with the target environment in order to successfully apparate.

There is a room at the end of Diagon Alley dedicated to apparition, and Professor McGonagall took him there from Hogsmeade last year.

But Erwin's destination was not that room, because as a dedicated apparition venue, the Ministry of Magic would send people there to check the apparition license from time to time.

Of course Erwin wouldn't have that.

But it's not just that room that can be used for apparation, Erwin walked straight into Lihen Bookstore.

"What would you like to buy, dear?" asked the saleswoman.

"I'm looking for your manager," Erwin said.

"This..." The female clerk froze, blinking her eyes.

"Mr Lockhart sent me."

The clerk smiled, "Everyone knows Mr. Lockhart."

"So you think I'm using his name?" Erwin sighed, "Then, Mr. Gelton, Alex Gelton, this name should not be known by everyone Bar?"

Gilderoy Lockhart once gave Erwin a piece of paper listing the membership of his interest group.

Among them was the manager of the Lihen Bookstore, and Alex Gelton, an official of the Ministry of Magic.

The clerk's expression changed immediately.

Half an hour later, Erwin walked out of Lihen Bookstore, and he can now apparate directly into the secret basement of the bookstore.

In addition to Diagon Alley, another wizarding gathering point in the UK is Hogsmeade, and that village can also be regarded as a teleportation point for Hogwarts.

Going there is also very simple, Erwin turned around and bought some Floo powder, then went back to Lihen Bookstore and borrowed the fireplace.

Throwing this powder into the furnace instantly turned the fire green.

"Hogsmeade!" Erwin yelled clearly.

Compared with apparating, the experience of using Floo powder is much better, so most wizards would rather spend a little trouble and choose this mode of transportation.

Ten seconds later, Erwin appeared in the Three Broomsticks bar in Hogsmeade.

This is actually the first time he has come here, because he is used to ordering with owls, and even with the Marauder's Map, Erwin has never been here through secret passages.

It is much easier to open the teleportation point of Hogsmeade, because it is not as crowded as Diagon Alley, but there are residential areas, surrounded by wilderness and forests, it is difficult to find a remote and unobtrusive place so easy.

Now, back to Diagon Alley.

This directly used Apparation, raised the wand, and after a breath, Erwin returned to the basement of Lihen Bookstore.

In just a few minutes, he shuttled back and forth between two places that are far apart.

This is what it feels like to truly master magic.

Walking out of the bookstore, the female clerk looked at him in astonishment. Didn't this guy leave with Floo powder?
