save the bachelors

Chapter 4071 4073 [Druid's Natural Way]

The four of them then went to bed, but their excitement made it impossible for them to fall asleep, so they all started chatting.

"I'm a Muggle-born. My parents thought it was a prank when they received the acceptance letter, until Professor Flitwick came to my house~" Joey Farrell introduced himself.

"I am half and half. My dad is a wizard and my mom is a Muggle. I confessed this to my mom only after I received the acceptance letter. She was horrified when she found out." Benjamin Winslet also said.

"I was born into a pure-blood wizard family, but I didn't show any magical talent until I was nine years old, so my family always thought I was a Squib. My family was really happy to receive the admission letter this time~" said Gregory Foley.

"I'm also half and half. My mom is a wizard and my dad is a Muggle." Xiang Nan gave a brief introduction.

"But you know a lot of spells." Joey said admiringly, "Even the professor praised you."

"You will be like me in the future." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

After the four of them chatted for a while, Joey, Benjamin and Gregory couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, they are only teenagers, and after a long journey, they will inevitably feel tired quickly. As they fall asleep, the lights in the dormitory dim, which is very smart.

However, Xiang Nan was not sleeping with his eyes open, so only the light at the head of his bed was still on.

Xiang Nan did not rush to rest, but took out a book from his purse and silently flipped through it. The book he was reading was called "The Natural Way of Druids".

He bought it together with the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism" at a second-hand shop in Diagon Alley.

The reason why he got it was because Xiang Nan was once addicted to the game "World of Warcraft", and druid was the profession he often played.

The biggest feature of Druid is that it has many forms. It can change into giant bears, cheetahs, seals, owl beasts, tree people, crows and many other forms. It is not only amphibious, but also can be a tank, a damage output, and a healer. It can be said to be quite versatile.

So he bought the book. However, he had been busy practicing "The True Explanation of the Five Elements Taoism" a few days ago, so he had not read the book yet.

He just happened to have some time today, and he was in the dormitory, which was not suitable for practicing the Five Elements Taoism, so he planned to flip through it casually.

……

Druidism has a long history in Britain. The Celts believed in Druids long before the arrival of Christianity.

Druids believe in the way of nature. They live in the forest and regard oak trees as sacred trees. The original meaning of the name Druid is "people familiar with oak trees."

Druids are proficient in divination, calendar, medicine, astronomy and literature, and are good at making magic wands, communicating with animals and transfiguration.

According to the official website of Harry Potter, Druids regarded all plants with woody stems as trees, and they were the first people to use vines to make wands.

The Chocolate Frog card also features a female druid named Cleona, who is known as the Banshee Queen and is proficient in shapeshifting, able to transform into seabirds and waves. She also carries three magic birds with her, which can heal injuries through hypnosis through singing.

She also excelled in Potions, and was the first wizard to discover the useful properties of the Moondew Flower.

……

Xiang Nan originally thought that "The Druid's Natural Way" would be very boring, because in his opinion, it was probably a religious classic book.

This kind of book is often filled with oracles, doctrines, and canons, and is usually very boring. However, after Xiang Nan flipped through it, he was surprised to find that this book was much more interesting than he had imagined.

Because there are not too many complicated doctrines in it, but it mainly introduces the Druidism's herbology, potion science, transfiguration and how to communicate with animals. The most important content, in Xiang Nan's opinion, is the record of the Animagus training method.

And more importantly, according to the records in this book, the Druid's Animagus form is not just one, but can change into many forms.

"Oh my god~" Xiang Nan was shocked after reading it.

Because according to the information he had found, Animagus was an extremely difficult magic. In the British wizarding world, there were only seven officially registered Animagus in the past hundred years.

Of course there are some illegal Animagus, such as James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black and Rita Skeeter, etc.

But the overall number should not be large, because according to JK Rowling herself, there may be only one Animagus in a thousand wizards.

The most powerful Animagus in the history of the wizarding world is the archmage Merlin, who can transform into any animal at will, and this alone is quite amazing.

The female druid Cleona mentioned above also has two animagus forms. One is a seabird, and the other is a wave. Therefore, the cultivation method of the various forms of animagus recorded in this book can truly be called a magical art.

"It's such a pity that such a magical book is lying in a junk shop and no one knows its value." Xiang Nan couldn't help but sigh.

  But he soon felt relieved. Not to mention that you have to spend money to buy used books in thrift stores, there is so much free knowledge on the Internet, from elementary school to doctoral textbooks, how many people can teach themselves?

Most people prefer leisure to work, and wizards are also human beings, so they are no exception.

Half of the staff at the British Ministry of Magic couldn't cast the Shield Charm; Draco Malfoy, a fifth-year student, couldn't even cast the Levitation Charm he learned in his first year; when Harry Potter took his O.W.L.S. exam in his fifth year, he was able to cast a complete Patronus Charm, which already amazed many invigilators...

Therefore, there are very few people like Xiang Nan who are full of curiosity and eager to immerse themselves in books. It is no wonder that this book was buried.

……

Xiang Nan spent an entire night carefully reading "The Druid's Natural Way".

He regretted not reading this book earlier, otherwise, perhaps he could have become an Animagus long ago.

In the morning, after washing up, Xiang Nan and others followed the senior students to the restaurant for dinner.

The daily diet is not as sumptuous as the back-to-school banquet, but there are sausages, milk, eggs, bacon, pickled salted fish, oatmeal, pumpkin juice, etc., which are still delicious.

During breakfast, the Ravenclaw prefects handed the new students their course timetables.

As first-year students, their schoolwork was not heavy, with only 15 classes a week, an average of three classes a day. Each class was 45 minutes, but Potions was an exception, which had to be taught in two consecutive classes.

Each college has a different curriculum, but some subjects are shared with other colleges.

For example, Ravenclaw and Slytherin took Transfiguration and Charms together, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor took Herbology, Astronomy and Defense Against the Dark Arts together, and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff took History of Magic, Potions and Flying together.

"Lily, do you have classes in the morning?" Xiang Nan came up to Lily and asked.

"It's History of Magic at nine o'clock." Lily looked at the schedule and said worriedly.

"That's not difficult. Just listen to the teacher and be careful not to fall asleep." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "We have Potions class in the first period."

"I wish you success." Lily breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded.
