Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 287 Eight Magic Schools
Harry let out a long breath when Bree left.

He wasn't going to ask Bree for help, because it was a small thing, even if it wasn't in the rules, but Umbridge was definitely prepared.

This is muddy water.

"Let's go, wait for McGonagall to come back."

Harry sighed.

Actually, Harry has other things...

But this needs to be told to Bree when no one else is around.

"hiss!"

Harry suddenly covered his head, a stab of pain spreading from the scar on his forehead.

"Brie Ord..." A murmur sounded in Harry's mind, and then a green light flashed in front of Harry's eyes, and a woman suddenly fell in front of him...

"Harry, what's wrong with you!" Ron and Hermione helped Harry.

Harry woke up suddenly. He felt a cold feeling on his back and his heart was beating fast.

"No, nothing, let's go."

Harry remembered last year, when Bree told him that he was Voldemort's Horcrux...

Harry tried his best not to think about it, but with Voldemort's resurrection, he could no longer deceive himself.

If I were Voldemort's Horcrux, what should I do?
Harry asked himself, but no one could answer, and he didn't know what a Horcrux was. He only knew that a Horcrux was a part of Voldemort, and there was no other explanation.

Go ask Brie?

Harry was very hesitant, he didn't want to trouble Bree.

"I can decide my own future."

Natural magic, this is what Harry told himself, and of course, Dumbledore. He knew that Dumbledore wanted to train him so that he could defeat Voldemort.

But Harry resists Dumbledore's control over him.

"Just, rely on yourself first."

Harry has made a decision, and he will devote all his energy to learning natural magic for a while...

There are more and more slanderous news about Dumbledore in Hogwarts, and Dumbledore's failure to come forward has also caused these rumors to continue, and they are increasingly recognized by wizards who do not know the truth, and they have become unstable.

"These news should be stopped." McGonagall walked downstairs quickly, with Bree following behind, followed by several deans.

Halloween is coming soon. The last time Bree and McGonagall discussed the matter of borrowing students from other schools was also approved by the International Wizarding Department. When Halloween comes, it will be time to welcome the wizards from other schools.

Originally, McGonagall had asked several deans to discuss Halloween and external school personnel, but due to rumors, it was delayed for some time. Now, if we go on, the little wizards will almost have dinner.

"We have to go to the kitchen to eat later." Mag said.

The other professors had no objection. Many things about Halloween were more important.

"It's time to show off Hogwarts, it's great," Professor Flitwick said excitedly.

Professor Sprout also nodded. This was a big event that Hogwarts had never encountered before.

"I will arrange for the house elves to clean the new dormitories soon."

There are many magic schools coming to Hogwarts this time, and their stay is also very long, but we can no longer allow students from outside schools to live in their vehicles. This is impolite and inconvenient for Hogwarts management.

"I remember that the previous drama hall could be cleaned out and used as a lounge for foreign students, and there were more empty rooms next to it," Snape said silently.

The Drama Auditorium of Hogwarts is located at a corner on the first floor and was abandoned for a period of time due to a fire.

"Oh, not bad, I'll go take a look later." Sprout thought for a moment and then agreed.

Mag knew that too, and nodded.

At this time, the professors could already hear the commotion in the auditorium. Who told McGonagall to tell the little wizards not to leave after eating? They could only chat because they were bored.

"You will announce it later, Professor Ode." McGonagall smiled at Bree.

Brie was stunned. He wanted to sit down and rest for a while.

"Okay, Principal McGonagall."

The other professors glanced at Bree and had no objections.

Because of the arrival of the professors, the little wizards immediately stopped talking.

McGonagall sat down with the other professors.

"Where is Professor Umbridge?" McGonagall looked around, but did not see the pink color.

Newt said: "She left after eating. She said she wanted to make some reports to the Ministry of Magic."

Newt's expression was a little disgusted. He didn't believe that Umbridge would say anything nice.

After a period of teaching, Newt seemed to like this kind of life. He could learn about magical creatures with the little wizards in a leisurely way, and he could also sneak into the Forbidden Forest to find magical creatures to play with.

McGonagall didn't say anything. She didn't want to worry about Umbridge, she just hoped that this guy wouldn't cause trouble.

Here, Bree stepped onto the stage.

The little wizard in the audience was a little excited. This was Bree's first speech since becoming a professor.

"It's Halloween in a few days, and we're going to do something a little different this time."

Bree didn't mince words, he continued: "We're going to have some friends for Halloween, and they're going to come from magical academies around the world."

"Friends from other schools will spend a whole semester with us and learn magic with us."

In fact, Bree and McGonagall didn't expect so many magic schools to participate. Although each school sent one or two students and a professor, they didn't expect that there would be eight magic schools.

"According to the preliminary estimates of the professors, there will be about 20 friends from other schools coming to Hogwarts, so the school decided to hold a welcome party in the wizarding world."

At this point, Bree paused. In fact, he definitely didn't believe in holding a party. This was proposed by Professor Flitwick, and he would not object. After all, Snape only frowned at the time.

"Because they are students from other schools, we cannot guarantee that they can speak English, so we will select some young wizards in the school who know multiple languages ​​to serve as external helpers."

The little wizard below was a little excited, but he didn't dare to speak due to Bree's speech.

Bree raised her eyebrows.

Seeing Bree's actions, the little wizards who had taken Bree's lessons knew that this was for them to ask questions.

"Professor!" Hermione immediately raised her hand.

Hermione was very comfortable with being called Professor Bree in public.

"Go ahead, Miss Granger."

Hermione blushed and said excitedly: "Which magic schools are they? I'm very curious, because we are only familiar with Durmstrang and Beauxbatons in Europe."

Last year's two schools left quite a mark on Hogwarts.

Bree nodded slightly, but refuted Hermione's words.

"You are not familiar with Durmstrang and Beauxbatons."

Seeing some young wizards stunned, Bree continued: "Last year was the Triwizard Tournament, but the school couldn't have been established for the competition, so we didn't see the magical characteristics of the two schools."

"This time we are learning magic together. You may see magic in class that is completely different from Hogwarts. This can help you broaden your horizons."

The little wizards nodded in understanding, fully agreeing with Bree's words.

"Durmstrang is located in Northern Europe and specializes in the use of the dark arts. They do not prevent this, as opposed to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes studied at Hogwarts, and they favor purebloods."

Some wizards had heard of Durmstrang, especially purebloods, so they were not surprised by Bree's words, but the rest of the little wizards were surprised.

Bree continued: "Beauxbatons is the alma mater of master alchemist Nicolas Flamel. Of course, because it is in Oude, the magic is similar to ours, but alchemy is unique."

Last term, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons didn't show this in Hogwarts, so the young wizards didn't know.

Bree continued: "The others who have expressed their intention to come to Hogwarts are..."

The little wizard below became nervous and looked at Bree expectantly.

"Kodos Doriz, it is a Russian magic academy, very good at fighting magic." During this period, the relationship between Russia and Europe was very tense. Of course, there were always times when it was not tense, but this had little to do with the magic world.

"Russia?" Some young wizards exclaimed.

One of the knowledgeable little wizards said loudly: "I heard that their wizard flies on a big tree!"

Bree ignored these voices and continued: "Wagadu, this is a magic academy in Africa. They rarely use wands. They are good at transfiguration and astronomy, and they also have unique insights into alchemy."

"The Magic School is a magic academy from Japan. It is very good at potions and flying. It can ride almost anything."

When talking about the magic institute, Bree's eyes darkened. He didn't like this magic academy because it was too classy.

This is more like a place to train weapons.

In fact, Bree did not want this magic school to come, but this is an international matter. If Hogwarts wants to be famous internationally, it is difficult to refuse.

"Castrobushe comes from the Brazilian rainforest. The wizards here are good at herbalism and magical zoology." Bree looked at Newt, because he must have been there. After all, the creatures here are very unique and must have attracted him.

"Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from America, was founded between 1620 and 1634 by the Irish immigrant witch Isolt Thayer and her No-Maj husband James Stewart."

"They followed the example of Hogwarts and set up four houses, and chose four magical animals from North America to name them, namely Thunderbird, Cat Leopard, Long-legged Water Snake and Pukechi. When new students enter the school, they must also name them. Participate in the sorting ceremony.”

Already said eight colleges, the last one.

This is the most special magic academy, or it cannot be said to be magic, because they have not recognized this word.

They identify more with magic.

They also do not recognize wizards, but regard themselves as sorcerers.

Of course, there are other titles, but the one here is a warlock.

"We have done some research on the last one, because there are some differences there. There are many academies in China, and the things they teach are all-encompassing and different..."

Looking at the unclear expression on the little wizard's face, Brie smiled and said nothing more, because the "magic" there was so different from what the little wizard knew. This was the original intention they conveyed.

Bree skipped some introductions and continued: "I'm surprised that they can participate this time...XZ Academy from the East."

"XZ Academy is very good at astronomy and prophecy, and has made great achievements in spells such as blessings and curses."

After introducing all the magic schools, Bree gave the little wizard some time to digest.

When everyone's attention returned to Brie again, Brie continued: "I have made it clear the geographical location of each school that is coming, so the little wizard who knows the local area and can perform language translation can Come……"

Bree looked at McGonagall.

McGonagall stood up and said, "You can go to the corner building to find Professor Oude."

"Let me rest for a while, please, Brie." Mag's face was stern, but there was a smile in his eyes.

resignedly.

Bree nodded in agreement.

"I hope you will come back when you are fully prepared. Do you hear me clearly?" This is not a question, but a warning.

The little wizards below had figured out Professor Breton's temperament and knew not to make random jokes or mess around, so they all nodded.

And the little wizards with ideas are already going to the library to find information about these schools.

Helping wizards from other schools can also help them understand the outside world, which is great!
"Now that you have an idea, get ready. By the way, there will be a dance floor at the welcome party on Halloween... You can volunteer to perform on stage."

"Then this speech is over, you are free to move around."

Bree turned around and let out a small breath, not because she was nervous, but because she was hungry.

"Let's go, Bree." Professor Sprout stepped forward and took Bree's arm, leading Bree to the kitchen, and the other professors followed.

Professor Newt, who had finished dinner, also followed secretly.

Arriving in the kitchen, the elf hurriedly arranged dinner for the professors.

"Are you okay, Professor Newt?" McGonagall looked at Newt and said.

Newt said shyly.

"I've been to Brazil and I can help if I can."

Mag looked at Bree. She had already left this matter to Bree, so she would not participate.

"Sorry, Professor Newt, it's actually not difficult for me to do translation magic, but I hope that the little wizard can get in touch with the outside world."

"After all, language is a kind of magic."

Newt understood slightly.

Bree thought for a while and said: "If Professor Newt is willing to help, maybe we can arrange a temporary position of dean of an external school to facilitate the management of students and professors from external schools."

"Professor Newt has been to many places and met many people. I think you are qualified."

Interim external school dean...

Newt wasn't sure, but McGonagall agreed.

"I'll excuse you, Professor Newt."

This……

Newt scratched his head, agreed, and then said goodbye to the professors.

"Then I'll prepare some information. When I traveled around the world, I recorded local customs..."

"Wait a minute, Professor Newt, we don't need to give preferential treatment to our friends from other schools. We just need to treat them the same as the young wizards and professors at Hogwarts. You don't have to be too enthusiastic."

This sentence was not only meant for Newt, but also something Bree wanted to express to McGonagall and the other professors, including all the little wizards.

After sending Newt off, Bree said at the dining table: "My natural magic class will not give anyone the green light. How much they can listen to and how much they learn is their own business."
