Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

"I'd like to hear more about it."

"Tell me about it."

Les and Rowena both came to Helga to see what progress she had made.

"I had a flash of inspiration a while ago and came up with an idea. Now it can basically be realized." Helga's eyes sparkled, and there were a lot of books and drafts around her.

She rummaged through it for a while before finding the steps of the dragon transformation magic written by Salazar.

"Look, this dragon transformation magic is similar to the wolf poison of the werewolf." Helga's fingers poked on the parchment roll, obviously very excited.

Les thought about it and found that it was indeed similar.

Werewolves infect normal people by injecting the wolf poison they carry into the human body. The wolf poison will take root in the body of the infected person and merge with the flesh, making it impossible to remove it. When the full moon night, under the stimulation of the moonlight, the wolf poison in the infected person's body will completely erupt, turning a normal person into a wolf.

Jack's dragon magic is similar to this. It also injects a special substance called dragon element into the human body to change the human body, and then stimulates the human body to turn into a dragon through external force.

"I originally planned to replicate this so-called 'dragon element', but the price brought by this may not be acceptable to wizards." Rice also expressed his distress.

In Jack's memory, Rice has determined that the dragon magic is irreversible. Once injected into the body, it will carry this toxin for life like a werewolf. It is even like the wolf poison of a werewolf, which is somewhat contagious.

"Of course it won't be copied completely." Helga showed a mysterious smile, took out something from her arms, and handed it to Rice.

"Look at what this is?"

"Biscuits? No, it's the canary biscuits of the Weasley brothers!" Rice was stunned at first, and didn't understand what Helga wanted to do. After a closer look, he found that the biscuits she handed over were the prank biscuits in the Weasley joke series.

A hint of enlightenment rose in his heart, and he vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped some key clues.

"You and Rowena are not good at food magic, so it's normal that you can't get inspired." Helga's face flashed a smug look: "Don't underestimate food magic!"

"How could it be?"

"No way, no way!"

Rice and Rowena spoke together, saying that they had no intention of underestimating food magic.

"These cookies are really interesting. The two Weasley boys are really talented." Since they had not seen much of Fred and George's pranks, Hufflepuff had a good impression of them, and even felt that they were somewhat compatible with Hufflepuff College.

"This is the same kind of cookie I got inspired by this canary cookie. Would you two like to try it?" Helga took out a box of cookies and pushed it in front of Rice and Ravenclaw.

The two probably understood their old friend's intentions, so there was no reason to refuse.

Rice took the cookie box and found that the cookies in the box were engraved with various animals. He took a cookie with a snake engraved on it, and Rowena took a cookie with an eagle painted on it.

After eating the biscuit, Les felt a surge of magic power spreading to his limbs. He could interrupt this process, but there was no need.

Letting the magic power flow through his body, Les turned into a snake in a flash, and Rowena next to him turned into an eagle.

Interesting!

Feeling the new snake body, Les had a flash of enlightenment in his mind. A pair of eagle eyes of Ravenclaw beside him also flashed a thoughtful look. However, when she glanced at the silver-green snake on the ground, a crack seemed to appear in the rational dam in her mind.

This fat snake looks so delicious!

Les shuddered and suddenly realized a hint of murderous intent being targeted by the predator. He subconsciously raised his head and just met the pair of yellow-orange eagle eyes.

Les: ? ? ?

Rowena: ...

Les was shocked, and Rowena hurriedly looked away and began to comb the feathers on her wings with her beak. The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Fortunately, this state did not last too long. In less than a minute, the two of them withdrew from the transformation state.

After returning to human form, Rowena stood aside honestly and became very interested in her hair: Eh? Why can't this hairstyle be combed well?

Les stared at Rowena angrily.

"Ravenclaw, what do you mean?!"

"Ah, um..." Rowena was extremely guilty. The main reason was that she was drooling at her old friend just now. It was too embarrassing.

But she was a smart Ravenclaw, and she thought of a great trick to resolve the embarrassment two seconds later.

"Helga, your transformation cookies have disadvantages!" Rowena turned the spearhead to Helga with a simple sentence. She pointed out that Helga's cookies made them contaminated with the animal nature of transformed animals.

Helga raised her eyebrows.

"Then I will optimize it later, but you should understand what I mean, right?" Helga perfunctorily said a few words to Rowena, and then brought the topic back to the transformation magic.

"Of course." Rice and Rowena answered in unison.

Helga must want the students to transform into powerful magical animals by taking certain foods.

It must be said that this idea is very bold and difficult to implement.

"So you plan to make some dragon biscuits or something like that?" Rice asked.

"Not really." To Rice's slight surprise, Helga shook her head to deny his conjecture, and took out a box from her sleeve.

After opening the box, she took out a small potted plant from the box with the traceless expansion spell.

Helga's potted plant is very similar to the potted kumquats sold in flower and grass shops. A small sapling with a thickness of two fingers grew out of the soil of dragon dung compost, and some golden fruits the size of longans were dotted among the leaves.

Before, Rice had seen Helga tinkering with this potted plant in Rowena's mansion, but he didn't take it seriously, because Helga liked to grow all kinds of strange flowers and plants, but obviously this potted plant was different.

"This is my latest research result. You can call it a transformation fruit tree. The fruit it bears can make people transform like canary biscuits. This is the product of combining the transformation magic on canary biscuits with the results of my previous research on the hundred-flavor fruit tree." Helga's tone was full of pride.

Les and Rowena's eyes widened.

They had heard Helga mention the concept of the hundred-flavor fruit tree before. She wanted to cultivate a fruit tree that would produce fruits with a variety of flavors, such as orange, tangerine, apple, lemon, and even fish, poultry, and animal meat.

She actually created this magical "dark cuisine" fruit tree later.

As long as you water the fruit tree with juice or animal blood at regular intervals, the fruit on the tree will change. For example, if you water it with orange juice, some of the fruit on the tree will be transformed into the taste of orange, and if you water it with cow blood, some of the fruit on the tree will have the texture of beef.

The premise is that the interval must be long enough, otherwise you may get hybrid fruit.

Now if this technology is used in transformation magic...

Les and Rowena looked at the sapling with different eyes.

Helga understood her friends' eyes and she was happier.

"Yes, we only need to water the blood of magical animals at the roots of the tree to make the tree bear the corresponding fruit. When you eat the fruit, the corresponding animal elements will be introduced into the body. When the opportunity comes, a traction can complete the transformation." Helga explained her idea of ​​transformation magic to her friends.

"The advantage of this is that after completing a transformation, the special substances in the body will be consumed immediately, and the wizard will not become a monster like a dragon man or a snake man. The disadvantage is that you can become whatever you want. The wizard who eats the fruit needs to communicate with the fruit tree in advance and choose fruits that are highly compatible with him. In this way, the rejection reaction caused by the special substances after eating will be relatively weak. It is a bit similar to the process of modern wizards choosing magic wands."

Royna glanced at Les and said, "Salazar, I remember you seem to have a snake monster?"

"Yes, I will go to the snake king to draw blood." Les is a man of action, and he will do it as soon as he says. At the same time, he also asked Helga to go to Dumbledore to get the phoenix blood, and Rowena went outside to order the fire dragon blood.

Of these three types of blood, dragon blood is the most common and is available on the market. Basilisk blood and phoenix blood can only be obtained from specific wizards.

Fortunately, the few wizards in the world who can provide these two types of blood are all in Hogwarts.

After completing the task assignment, Rowena took Les and Helga out of the room.

After turning a few corners in the winding corridor, she took the two to a staircase painting and returned to the mansion hall through the painting again.

Back to the first floor hall, the three immediately split up.

Rowena went to write a letter to purchase dragon blood, Les went to the secret room to find his basilisk, and Helga went to the eighth floor of the castle and reported the password to enter Dumbledore's office.

The moment she pushed open the door of the principal's office, Helga vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong with her eyes, but when she looked carefully, she found that she was not wrong: Dumbledore was lying on a recliner, with a doll on each side of his body giving him a massage.

On Dumbledore's desk, there were several plates of snacks and a black bubble drink with a slice of lemon stuck in the cup.

Helga: ? ? ?

Before she "retreat", she had received several orders, including one from Dumbledore, and the configuration of the doll's life module was almost full. At that time, she felt that something was wrong, and today it was really confirmed!

Seeing that it was Professor White who came in, Dumbledore was too lazy to open his eyes, just asked her to sit down.

"Professor White, do you want to try it too? The dolls you made are really good at massage! You can even prepare magic ointment. After applying it, the blood vessels all over the body are unblocked."

Helga: ...

She didn't know what to say for a moment, but she felt that the headmaster Dumbledore in front of her seemed to have a very strong sense of relaxation.

"Professor Dumbledore, it's time to go to work now!" Helga felt that Dumbledore seemed to be a little too much - they didn't enjoy it like this back then!

Not to mention the past, I have never enjoyed it so much even now!

Shouldn't the headmaster of Hogwarts do the most tiring work and suffer the most? Why did Albus enjoy it?

Thinking about how she studied transformation magic day and night, even using the time converter, while Dumbledore was eating desserts and drinking iced drinks in his office, and even had a doll giving him a massage, Helga felt unbalanced.

Dumbledore's years were peaceful, and someone was carrying the burden for him!

Dumbledore is from Gryffindor, right? Okay, I, Helga Hufflepuff, will take note of this!

Dumbledore turned over in his recliner, saying that for a Hogwarts "executive", what difference does it make between work and off-get off work? He is on call 24 hours a day, and he is always at work.

Since there is no difference between work and off-get off work, it is okay to enjoy yourself while working.

Helga took a deep breath, buried all kinds of complicated emotions in her heart, and told Dumbledore her purpose.

Dumbledore's eyes suddenly became sharp. With his knowledge, how could he not hear the extraordinaryness of this fruit?

But after a few seconds, the brilliance in his eyes dissipated. He raised his hand and pointed behind the door of the office, indicating that Professor White could take it himself.

Fawkes the phoenix was sleeping, and when someone entered the office, it just shook its tail and did not pull its head out of its wings. But when it heard Professor White talking about the "transformation fruit", it became alert.

When Helga's true intentions were exposed, it immediately raised its head, and all the feathers on its body swelled up.

But this could not stop Helga's determination to take the blood of the phoenix.

She stepped forward quickly and directly blocked Fox in the corner.

Fox cried uneasily, but Dumbledore seemed to be asleep and did not respond.

With no help, Fox could only stare at Helga with his eyes, and knock his beak with a click, hoping to persuade this malicious wizard to retreat.

Helga did not force it, she took out a black mud ball from her arms and stretched it in front of Fox.

A trace of confusion flashed in Fox's watery eyes: You don't think such an ordinary mud ball can buy me, right?

But it soon smelled an unforgettable fragrance from the mud ball.

Fox: ‘This thing seems delicious, but this wizard has bad intentions…’

When Fox was struggling, Helga directly handed the dumpling forward to Fox’s mouth.

Fox took a bite subconsciously, and immediately lost all his guard.

What bad intentions could a grandmother who could provide such delicious food have?

Helga thus successfully obtained the Phoenix Blood.
