From Azkaban To Hogwarts

The scene became awkward for a moment, but no one laughed out loud.

Even Principal Dumbledore, who was sitting at William's table, looked as if nothing had happened at this moment. He was staring at the table and studying it very seriously, as if he was thinking about what kind of strange thing he would transform the table into later. Something to add to the fun.

The students were sitting there neatly and so quietly that William almost thought he had heard wrong just now.

Just when he was wondering if there was any deviation in the world line, Professor McGonagall waved his wand - something quickly pierced the air, causing a huge noise from upstairs, and then, a piece of rolled parchment swished. A sound hit the hall.

Professor McGonagall took the parchment with a calm expression, then spread it out to look at it.

William clearly heard the slow exhalation coming from the entire staff table - everyone was obviously relieved.

At this time, the hall suddenly showed signs of activity. The students who had been standing straight relaxed and began to whisper quietly.

The professor quickly checked the list, then put it down and spoke to the first-year students again:

"The sorting started again, and the students whose names I read came over and were waiting for sorting."

"Barry Baker."

A little boy timidly walked out of the crowd and put on his hat obediently.

"Ravenclaw!"

Almost at that moment, Hat shouted the name of the academy.

The Ravenclaw table burst into loud applause.

William, on the other hand, was simply stunned.

"You watched a great ceremony and received treasure chest x1."

How great is it!

Wearing a hat from a thousand years ago, he was then arranged to enter an academy - he had asked for relevant information, and no one had failed at this step!

Isn't it too much to describe such a simple thing as great?

Groaning in his heart, William opened the treasure box.

[Ritual Hope (UR) (Special): Since 993 AD, Gryffindor’s hat has become a prop for selecting students from the four houses. Four great wizards simultaneously sent their blessings to the hat and also expressed their blessings to the branch. Various blessing effects are attached to the ceremony.

The entry age for wizards all over the world is different. The earliest wizarding schools can even advance to the age of seven (Note 1), but only Hogwarts allows entry at the age of eleven.

Only the most powerful wizards can skillfully use ritual effects. These rituals can destroy cities, cause plagues, and can also give people the power to bring back the dead or impose permanent blessings (Note 2)

The magic power that the freshmen accumulated before entering school, which can fly to the sky, escape from the earth, and make objects disappear and return, is transformed into the strongest protection under the influence of the ritual to protect them through the long time before adulthood. (Note 3)

And this legacy ceremony has been continuously improved and repaired by generations of principals, becoming what it is today.

In 1876, Peeves, the elf in the castle, successfully obtained a large-caliber muzzleloader gun and a small cannon in Hogwarts after escaping the trap. (Note 4)

It was almost a battle in which Peeves suppressed the entire school professors. In the end, the school had to grant Peeves various privileges in exchange for peace.

But from that day on, the guardian power of the ritual began to target this Muggle weapon at the expense of giving up part of its defense.

When Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald fell in love at first sight, the two young geniuses began to study protective magic against Muggle weapons and made unprecedented progress.

After the two separated in anger, Albus Dumbledore continued his original research and used this magic in the reform ceremony after becoming the headmaster.

Ritual effect (wizards are not harmed by firearms): Any bullet flying at high speed, after approaching a certain range of the wizard, will immediately trigger an effect similar to phantom transfer and transfer the bullet to the ground.

——Believe me, transferring a thousand bullets is not as difficult as disapparating once. Distinguishing bullets is actually more complicated.

——There are always people who want to shout that times have changed, but Albus Dumbledore has changed it back.

Card effect: You get the ritual effect for free. 】

Hiss~

William couldn't help but gasp - he finally understood why his magic seemed to be much stronger than that of wizards of the same age.

The magic power of others was used to solidify the defense ritual. All the magic power accumulated before the age of eleven was not a small amount.

Fortunately, now he also has it - speaking of which, is the so-called not telling people who have not been sorted about the sorting ceremony related to this ceremony?

But now he doesn't have to be jealous;

Note 1: The Magic Institute in Japan is a recognized wizarding school. They admit students as young as seven years old, much earlier than the eleven years old in Hogwarts.

Note 2: There is no official name for this, but the spell used to resurrect Voldemort is obviously different from the ordinary one-sentence spell. Also cumbersome are the unbreakable oath that appears in the original book, and a long spell that Ron read out when he started school. String what he thought was a spell.

Considering the power of the fire that Grindelwald himself released that almost burned the whole of Paris, I think it should also be the effect of a series of ritual additions.

Note 3: Many of the magics used by freshmen before entering the school are used unconsciously, but the power and effect are not bad at all. Harry can make the bulletproof glass in front of the python disappear, and Neville slowly floats to the ground after being thrown from the building. - You know, second-year Harry was knocked off his broom by Quaffle and almost fell to death.

But after enrolling, Ron said that Harry and Malfoy could only make sparks with their wands - the magic had dropped too much.

Before Harry entered the third year, he was just angry and blew his aunt into the sky and flew far away without using a wand - if wizards didn't have magic to avoid injuries, third-year students would have killed themselves long ago. .

To sum up, it can be judged that the magic power of wizards should be greatly weakened when they enter school, and converted to self-protection.

Note 4: In 1876, in order to expel Peeves, the administrator of Hogwarts designed various traps for the elf and used several scimitars, several crossbows, a large-caliber muzzleloader and a small cannon (You read that right, original material) and a series of weapons as bait, but the trap was destroyed by Peeves. At the same time, Peeves fired guns in the castle for fun, causing the school to be evacuated for three days.

Three days later, the then principal, Professor Eupracia Moore, agreed to sign an agreement with Peeves, allowing him to hand over his weapons in exchange for more privileges (swimming once a week in the boys' bathroom on the first floor, Prioritize the moldy bread in the kitchen to throw around, and get a new hat specially made for him by Ms. Bonabil).

So Peeves is really awesome, but at the same time, Hogwarts should have noticed Muggle firearms long ago, which is also the basis for my later inference.

ps: This chapter may be quite controversial, so I have been working on it for a long time to provide an explanation. This chapter should be the one for today.
