Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue

For those gentlemen living in the United Kingdom and the United States, the last day of August is no different from usual.

But in the eyes of the people in the former Soviet Union, this day is like a dividing line, which clearly divides the past and the future into two worlds-at this point, regardless of the Muggles living in this land, Or a wizard, it's the same.

At ten o'clock in the morning of this day, the Russian government, the Ukrainian government, the Belarusian government and other CIS countries unanimously announced the "temporary" suspension of the old ruble.

Dozens of large food supply companies and small and medium-sized banks went bankrupt and reorganized, merged with the original central banks of various countries to form a semi-independent financial institution, and began to issue "Potato Credits" secured by tax credits in their respective countries. Voucher" as a transition.

Immediately afterwards, most of the stock exchange markets fell into a state of suspension.

Before the new currency is fully launched, the "banknotes" on this land have only the most primitive function-as a general equivalent, exchange basic materials in the physical market.

At the same time, in places invisible to people in the non-magical world, the Russian Ministry of Magic, the Ukrainian Ministry, the British Ministry of Magic... dozens of authoritative magic departments, including the International Wizarding Federation, announced at the same time:

The self-proclaimed dark wizard Tom Riddle is back, and this time his scope of activities has spread from the original British area to the entire European continent. In view of the terrorist acts he has done, the international magic circle defines him as "International terrorists".

Judging from the current intelligence, in the quiet period of the past ten years, the "most terrifying dark wizard in history" is very likely to have re-developed in places including but not limited to the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and Ukraine. Criticize your own follower group.

The Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards call on all people in the magic circle to be vigilant. At the same time, Aurors from various countries will also conduct a second investigation of those who are suspected of being "Death Eaters".

These shocking news, accompanied by newspapers and radio stations like a blizzard, quickly swept through every corner of the magical and non-magical worlds-but the storm it rolled up would take several months before Will gradually spread and affect the entire human society.

However, on the contrary, for some people living on the edge of the world...

The long snowstorm season is finally coming to an end.

...

Novosibirsk, the capital of the Siberian region

A secluded street on the outskirts of the city.

Holding the documents in his arms, Aleksei hurriedly walked towards the rented apartment.

As the former deputy director of the Buddker Institute of Nuclear Physics, every second he stays on this land increases the risk of being arrested by the Russian secret police.

He used to be in charge of security information coordination in the research institute. He never thought that one day he would become his most disgusting appearance. Under the introduction of the wizards, the house where his family originally lived has been sold in advance and converted into Stacks of pounds.

In fact, according to Alexei's status, he should have been the first group of researchers to be transferred to Hogwarts, including his family, all on the A-level list.

However, due to some special reasons, he voluntarily chose to evacuate in the last batch.

"It was still too hasty. After the institute was closed, even the files of the same project were torn apart... However, with these materials, more than 70% of the research content can still be restored, no, If there is magic, maybe..."

Aleksai's eyes were in a daze, and he remembered the steel-cast sky city that he had seen above the castle before-magic? It's enviable...

As an ordinary "Muggle", Aleksey knew very well that no matter how hard he tried to understand, he might never be able to touch the truth of the world with his own hands.

But fortunately...

Aleksey walked out of the alley and looked up to the somewhat old apartment not far away. A tall and plump woman was checking her luggage. On the steps beside her, a little blond girl was holding her I read a heavy book with gusto.

Aleksai's eyes instantly softened.

It was his wife Natasha and daughter Danilova. Since the Soviet mother ceased to exist, protecting the two most important women in their lives became his only wish.

Unlike him and his wife, Danilova’s future path is destined to go further than any of them, because she is a witch, or, to be more precise, Danilova has become one. Special talents that a wizard must possess.

About a month ago, a barn owl visited Aleksai’s home.

A magic school named Kodos Dorizi School of Witchcraft and Wizardry somewhere outside of Moscow issued an invitation to Danilova. After consulting Mr. Frank, who is also a wizard, the Aleksei family They answered quickly.

"Dad, you're back? So... are we finally going to leave?"

Noting the movement across the street, Danilova raised her head in surprise to look at Aleksai who was walking quickly, closing the big book in her arms quickly, standing up and stretching her waist.

Even if she was just eleven years old last month, the wicked heart peculiar to Russian descent has already begun to take shape. Whether in height or figure, she is like a 13 or 4 year old girl.

It's just that from the girl's childish little face and her curiously excited look like a child, it can still be seen-this is still a child who has not grown up.

"Well, it's time to go-but, Danny, are you ready?"

Aleksai nodded, looked at his daughter quite seriously and said.

"Tomorrow is the school day. If you fail the basic entrance examination, then you may have to take the class as an auditor. This is not a joke. According to the lady, you can’t even have your own Magic wand."

"Don't worry, Dad-those are much easier than your homework"

Danilova stuck out her tongue and answered with a proud chest.

"You have also seen it, mainly about language tests, as well as simple mathematics, physics, biological knowledge, and a small part of magic knowledge tests. In one month, I have already finished all of them- Let’s rest and relax now..."

And on the steps next to her, there was the recreational book she had read back and forth several times.

"Hogwarts, a School History"

Since Frank learned about part of the wizarding school’s courses and the differences between two or each school, Danilova almost has no hesitation in rejecting the invitation from the Kodos Doritz School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and turned to Hogwarts submitted an application for admission.

Even if entering Hogwarts requires passing an additional pre-school exam and participating in regular work-study activities every weekend, Danilova's determination has not been shaken.

"Speaking of which, you really don't think about staying in Russia and going to the Magic Academy called Kodos Doriz? Danny, if you just want to accompany..."

Aleksai sighed helplessly and said hesitantly.

Even if the person in charge of the other party's face is just a little girl who is shorter and flatter than his own daughter, it will not let Aleksai reduce any guard and vigilance.

You know, this is a person who has grasped the lifeblood of the former Soviet Union quietly, and easily wiped out all foreign hot money in just a few words. It has at least one flying nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and hundreds of "elite agent-level" wizards. The mysterious power of the member.

Aleksai would not naively believe that this is a peaceful, scientific, harmless and friendly "civil organization" or some kind of "international charity."

Although from his personal point of view, in this situation, teaching at that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a good choice. But if his family were all under the control of the mysterious wizards, it would still make Alexei feel a little uneasy.

"I'm not a ten-year-old kid anymore, Dad, I know what I want..."

Danilova shook her head, a slight look of disdain flashed across her small face.

"As I told Uncle Frank before, if the courses of a famous magic school don't even have the most basic Fourier transformation, how can people believe that the transformation magic magic they teach in class has no hidden dangers?"

The girl pointed to the book "Hogwarts, A School History (1992 Edition)" at her hand.

In the last part of the book, a detailed introduction to Hogwarts's first to seventh grade curriculum, the camp tasks of each college, irregular daily activities, final assessments and so on.

"In the Hogwarts curriculum, you will learn this in the second year..."

"Speaking of which...this is indeed the truth..."

Aleksai was taken aback for a moment, and he sighed helplessly.

Just as there is a huge technological gap between China and countries in the non-magical world, there are obviously very obvious intellectual monopolies and technical barriers in the magical world.

He still remembers that in the mysterious Moscow Wizard Tavern, the chief executive officer of the Destiny Group who claimed to be Teresa Apolkalis, the small, majestic eldest lady once said very proudly :

"In today's Hogwarts, I can easily name at least three or four first-year students who are proficient in advanced mathematics, can break down compounds into simple substances, and complete first-level first aid on the battlefield with bare hands."

And this is just the standard of Hogwarts first-year students.

It’s hard for Aleksai to imagine ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ if he were to be an official professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, or the wizards at the top of the magical world in the legend, how many surpassing the time he still had Terrible knowledge-the magic world, it is too mysterious.

"So, Dad, where are we going now? Didn't you say before, today we are going to England by boat? The nearest port should be in St. Petersburg? Is there really time now?"

Just when Alexei was slightly distracted, Danilova had put the books around her in her big bag, walked up to the man, raised her head and asked curiously.

In the girl's hand, she held a coupon with the head of an abstract yellow rabbit (Hou Mu).

It looks about the size of a common phone card, with a few lines of simple text description written in English and Russian, which looks like a gift card that can be seen everywhere:

【One-way ticket of Huberian】

[Boarding time-Novosibirsk-17:00]

[Note: Please be sure to bring your belongings, so as not to lose them]

"Oh, boat..."

Aleksai came back to his senses, with a strange look on his face.

Compared to the graffiti paper that brought him from Novosibirsk to Moscow a few months ago, this "door key" is obviously much better, although... if nothing else, the experience might be just as bad.

Aleksei shrugged and said calmly.

"If we don’t go to the port, we can get on the boat with this ticket... According to my experience, as long as we hold this ticket, we will be on the boat when the time is up—that’s our own boat. ."
