I’m Really An Alchemist

Chapter 456 Chapter 97 Barty Crouch Jr.

The professors were shocked and speechless by Zhou Qi's hand.

The last time they saw the power of arcane magic was the blizzard showdown between Zhou Qi and Snape two years ago. That wonderful magical showdown opened their eyes, but they were still within the scope of their understanding.

And now,

Whether it is the growth of the vines or the giant trees, it is beyond their comprehension.

It's not that magic can't do this, but it can't be as easy and simple as Zhou Qi, who can freely control the growth of plants without magical rituals or material assistance.

Is this the power of arcane magic?

Although the professors at Hogwarts have recognized Muggle magic, they inevitably have a little pride in their hearts. They treat arcane magic with the mentality that they are the orthodox magic.

Now that they saw Zhou Qi's magic, they couldn't keep the pride in their hearts. Even their best and most powerful areas were surpassed by a Muggle who had only studied magic for four years.

What is there to be proud of? !

Everyone lost their expressions on their faces and returned to the castle in silence. They quietly looked at the others and found that only Professor Snape and Tom Riddle remained the same, as if they had known Professor Ivan's true strength.

Maybe we are the only ones kept in the dark.

The professor's mentality has changed slightly.

After Zhou Qi showed his skills, he didn't sit still. He struck while the iron was hot and asked the deans of other colleges to go back and think about, customize the study plan of the college, and find the strengths and weaknesses of their own colleges.

Zhou Qi had already buried the seeds of change in the soil.

Hogwarts was also subtly affected, but he didn't know it. This time the veil was lifted, and the professors suddenly realized.

When the acting principal left, the dull atmosphere relaxed.

The professors either smiled wryly or pondered, and they gathered together to discuss, fearing the power of arcane magic, and resisting the reform of the college system. During their discussion, when Snape was about to leave, Tom Riddle Find it.

"Professor Snape."

Tom Riddle walked quickly beside him and said familiarly, "Let's cooperate!"

Snape stopped and stared blankly at the younger version of the Dark Lord.

"I also graduated from Slytherin, so naturally I have to stand on Slytherin's side." Tom Riddle smiled lightly: "No matter from which angle, our cooperation is the most beneficial."

"Blood Warlocks and Necromancers both involve biological genes, and we can bring Slytherin to a higher stage!"

Tom Riddle smiled brightly: "You don't have to worry about embarrassment, I have no memory of Voldemort, and I'm not your former boss - you can treat me as a new individual."

Snape looked indifferently at the laughing young man.

Of course he didn't care whether the other party was Voldemort's young body, he was just thinking about the necessity of cooperation.

In the end, he nodded and walked with Tom Riddle, who was smiling brightly, to discuss Slytherin's path of innovation.

 …

Krum returned to the residence with the books and props used for the start of school.

He did not live at home, but lived in a wizard bar a month in advance, where he bought school books while waiting for the school to start.

This year's Durmstrang is very difficult. As the school is approaching, the wizarding streets are not as lively as in previous years. Only a sparse number of students come to buy books and props, and they have to suffer from scorn.

Krum was treated nicely for being the Quidditch World Cup winner, but the other students weren't so lucky.

He also heard that this year's new students are only one-fifth of the previous year's, and the wizards would rather leave their children at home to educate themselves than send them to Durmstrang, who is free of tuition.

Krum pushed open the door, his body froze suddenly.

There was a stranger in the room with his back turned to him.

The stranger turned around. It was a somber wizard. He looked at Krum with a half-smile, and lifted his sleeves, leaving a dark eight-eyed spider tattoo on his arm.

He also has such a tattoo.

This is the logo of the Death Eaters.

Krum closed the door, stared at the strange Death Eater, and growled, "Get out, I'm no longer a Death Eater!"

"You think you're not, but do other people think so?" The wizard smiled disdainfully: "Don't be naive, do you really think that you can change all this by winning the Quidditch championship, no, you just Change yourself!"

Krum's pupils narrowed.

The wizard continued: "I'm here to change the lives of the Death Eaters, Krum, do you really want to see friends and school being cast aside, do you really want to see your family never look up?"

He took out a bottle of potion from his cuff and put it on the table.

"As long as you can help us, it is possible to change all of this, make those who look down on us look up to us again, and let the pure blood family return to its rightful place."

"What is this?" Krum's eyes fell on the potion.

"A special kind of potion." The wizard explained with a sneer: "It has no poison, only one effect, it will bring back the darkest and most painful memories, as long as Harry Potter takes it, you can return to the Dark Lord. ."

"At that time, we will return to the top!"

He watched Krum's complexion change, and explained the Triwizard Tournament. Krum would go to Hogwarts with the Triwizard Tournament, and he would have the opportunity to approach Harry Potter at that time.

The wizard put the potion on the table and said with a low smile, "Think about it, Krum."

When the words fell, he pushed open the door and walked out.

Krum looked at the potion standing on the table and fell into pain. He remembered the day of the Quidditch World Cup. If it wasn't for Harry Potter's encouragement, maybe he would not be able to overcome the demon and win the game.

But at this time, his gratitude to Harry Potter was entangled with the honor of his family, which made him extremely painful.

Outside the door, the wizard listened to the movement inside the house and sat in the tavern.

The Death Eaters have learned to be smart. They won't put their hopes in the hands of a single person. As long as they can get close to Harry Potter, they will try to get in touch. As long as one person succeeds, the Dark Lord will return.

If Krum is willing to cooperate best, if not, they can't let Krum ruin his plan.

soon--

Krum walked out of the room and sat opposite the wizard. His eyes were red, and he had already experienced the effect of potion.

Seeing his determined appearance, the wizard smiled with satisfaction.

.....

Newt walked into the bright office.

The office was full of files, materials and newspapers, and the white-bearded old wizard leaned on the chair tiredly.

"Professor, take a rest."

Newt handed Dumbledore a bottle of chilled sour soda.

This office is a separate office of the Magic Congress, specially prepared for Dumbledore. He can transfer the information, secret scrolls and staff of the Magic Congress to investigate Grindelwald and target the Deathly Hallows Society.

Perhaps as some members of the Magic Congress guessed, Grindelwald was afraid of Dumbledore. Since Dumbledore came to New York, he had never heard of him and the Deathly Hallows Society.

Dumbledore took his favorite sour drink.

"Gellert is by no means a person who would give up so easily. He is hiding in the south of America, which is also a weak area of ​​the Magic Congress, but strangely, there is no abnormal news from the south."

Dumbledore took a sip of soda and had a headache.

"Maybe he left America." Newt guessed. "Will he take advantage of this time to quietly return to Europe?"

Dumbledore shook his head and suddenly laughed.

"It would be interesting if he went back to Europe.... There are more dangerous people there. I even doubt that Gellert was released by him?"

"Who?" Newt became curious, what kind of person could get such a high evaluation from Dumbledore.

He and his wife hid in America during the last year's Death Eater Rebellion. They only knew in the newspapers that Voldemort had died and the League of Magic was established, but they didn't know anything about what happened in Europe.

Dumbledore did not answer.

He stared at the ceiling silently, wondering what happened to Hogwarts now. Professor McGonagall hadn't sent a message for so long, which made him particularly worried.

It's just that the Grindelwald matter has not been resolved, and the White Wizard cannot escape.

I can only think in a good direction.

Outside the office, a passing wizard looked curiously into the door, and they were very interested in this legendary white wizard.

But soon, someone in charge came forward and drove these Magical Congress colleagues away, so as not to disturb the white wizard's work and rest.

After these young wizards returned to work, they had a lively discussion of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Since Dumbledore appeared, Grindelwald disappeared without a trace, which made the Magic Congress feel safe, wishing Dumbledore would live in New York from now on.

During the discussion, a young wizard got up to make coffee.

On the way, he brushed shoulders with the cleaner, stuffed a paper roll into the cleaner's sleeve, and then returned to his colleagues with coffee. The cleaner returned to the cleaning room with a mop and took out the paper in his sleeve. Scroll, which records the actions of the Auror and the next move of the Magical Congress.

"For the greater good."

The cleaner crumpled the paper roll, looked at himself in the mirror, breathed in the mirror, and reached out to draw the figure of the Deathly Hallows.

 …

The day before Hogwarts begins.

Zhou Qi sat in the office and watched the report on the reform of the academy system submitted by Snape. According to the report, Dean Slytherin cooperated with the former Dark Lord to completely reform the entire academy.

First of all, in terms of learning content, Slytherin retained five subjects, taking the knowledge of the three, biochemical, and three hemp melons as the fundamental subject, interspersed with the new courses submitted by Snape - Necromancy and Wizard Bloodlines.

As for the other compulsory courses such as potions, herbs, magic spells, and flying, they were all abandoned, and none of the elective courses were left.

Zhou Qi gave each dean the right to change, and they could even change the Hogwarts college points system that has been passed down for thousands of years. In fact, Zhou Qi wanted to abolish the college points for a long time. This kind of score ranking based on the professor's preferences is simply Extremely stupid.

Snape thought so too.

He redefines Slytherin's college score, and subdivides the college score to the individual. Each student has a fixed score when he enters the school. The score can be exchanged for materials and knowledge from the professor. Only by completing the corresponding learning content can the score be improved.

Tom Riddle made a detailed supplement. He customized a new competition rule for Slytherin - complete meditation in one month, construct conversion models in three months, construct two spell models in six months, and construct at least four a year. Spell Model.

This is the bottom line of the competition. If you meet this standard, you will be considered qualified. If you fail to meet the standard, the next year's college branch will be halved.

And beyond this standard, the halved college branch will be added to him.

The wolf competition is at its extreme.

To truly realize the development path of the stronger the stronger and the weaker the weak - without redoubled efforts, it will become more and more unable to catch up with the former due to the decay of resources.

Zhou Qi put down Slytherin's innovation report and picked up Hufflepuff's and Gryffindor's reports. These two colleges were too conservative, basically unchanged from the previous year, but reduced elective courses. .

Rather than calling it change, it’s more about reducing the burden.

Probably the only change is the lack of a place for dark magic in their curriculum, not a change, but a fear of Voldemort.

"One step at a time, one step at a time."

Zhou Qi shook his head, picked up the seal and tapped it three times.

Although these two academies are conservative and don't know how to change, Zhou Qi is still willing to give them a chance to study and see how Slytherin and Ravenclaw do.

He was about to call the vice-principal to pass these reports, but Minerva contacted him in advance and informed Maxim and Karkaroff that they had come to Hogwarts.

Along with them came Barty Crouch, Director of the International Exchange Department of the Ministry of Magic.

Zhou Qi frowned slightly.

It's a bit intriguing that these two people came at this time and pulled Barty Crouch.

"Let them in."

Zhou Qi let go, and after a while, Mrs. Maxim and Karkaroff, who were smiling confidently, accompanied Barty Crouch and walked into the principal's office with graceful manners.

"Professor Ivan." Karkaroff smiled, but his tone became a little more serious: "Tomorrow is a new school year, let's discuss matters related to the Triwizard Tournament, it happens that Director Crouch is here. "

There was sarcasm in his eyes.

"Last time we discussed it with Professor Dumbledore, and Director Crouch also knew about it." Mrs. Maxime smiled at Barty Crouch with a somewhat unnatural look.

Karkaroff came up with the idea of ​​using the Ministry of Magic to force Hogwarts to hold the Triwizard Tournament, but she had no other way.

I don't want to smash the school's signboard in my hands, and I don't want to agree to the three-school alliance agreement.

Only by letting the Ministry of Magic come forward.

No matter what, Professor Ivan has to give face to the Ministry of Magic, right?

Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the three.

He said "Huh", looked seriously at Barty Crouch in the center of the three, and suddenly laughed: "Ma'am, Professor, can I and Director Crouch have a chat alone for a while?"
