Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are - #201 - Chapter 201 Saints, Slighorn
In the end, it took Snape almost weeks to transform Harry back into Harry before the Quidditch match started.
The main reason was that if she didn’t go back, Professor McGonagall would come and cause trouble. She didn’t want to lose the Quidditch match because of Harry’s condition. But Snape thought it was all in vain.
This year, the Slytherin team has changed everything. How can Gryffindor, who has swept the series, fight them?
On Saturday, there were still many people gathered in the arena.
“Harry, I heard that you have charmed Malfoy?” George and Fred, each on their own, put their arms around Harry’s shoulders and uncovered his scar.
“Don’t mention this and we are still good friends.” Harry said angrily. The reason why the fact that he turned into a girl quickly became popular in the whole school was not only thanks to Snape, but also thanks to the enthusiastic publicity of a certain first-year fanboy.
Colin Creevey, this guy has photos of Harry all over the school. Ginny almost got into a fight with him over this.
“We don’t need to be your best friends,” Fred said.
“It’s up to you later, Harry, to charm Malfoy and don’t let him steal the Golden Snitch! It’s not impossible for you to make some sacrifices when necessary.” George also said.
Harry simply stopped talking.
The twins just wanted to watch the excitement and didn’t take it too seriously. Looking at Malfoy’s disgusted expression as if he had eaten a fly, they knew that this trick would never work.
Harry looked towards the auditorium, where nearly a thousand spectators were sitting, cheering for them. Despite the advent of Pokémon, wizards’ love for Quidditch has not faded.
Xia Lin had nothing to do and came to watch the game.
Slughorn sat next to him. The old walrus didn’t seem to like Quidditch, because as soon as he sat down, he started talking to Xia Lin.
“Mr. Xia Lin, I have recently been listening to little wizards talk about the abilities that Pokémon are good at. I would like to know what are my Burning Bugs and Birds good at? How to cultivate them? Make them powerful Pokémon?”
Slughorn asked.
“The evolved type of Pidgeot is Tabby. This Pokémon can fly very fast and has strong wings. If you want to breed it, it would be a good choice to start with speed, flying ability, and strength. .” Xia Lin did not hold back and continued, “As for the burning insects, if they were to be cultivated, they would naturally start from two aspects: special attack and speed.
“The Burning Bug is a Pokémon with fire and insect attributes. It evolves into the Fire Moth. In the Pokémon world, people think it is a Pokémon that fell from the sun, so they regard it as the sun. Worship. Therefore, strengthening the power of its flames is also a good direction.”
“Strengthen the power of fire?” Slughorn asked doubtfully, “How to do it? Is it possible to teach it to use fire magic?”
Hearing this, Xia Lin couldn’t help but smile. On the field, two teams were already on the field. Slytherin had the advantage from the beginning and crushed the Gryffindor team.
“Pokémon like Burning Bugs usually live near volcanoes. This means that high temperatures and the rich fire elemental energy in the air are of great benefit to their growth. If conditions permit, , it is also okay to feed a small amount of ancient Pulai fairy fire or the flames spit out by other creatures.”
Xia Lin explained.
“Of course, in terms of training, it is best to teach it how to increase the temperature of the flame and compress the power of the flame to form a high-temperature and high-pressure fireball, thereby increasing the power of the flame.”
While the two were talking, Lockhart walked over at some unknown moment.
He stuffed a diary into his pocket and sat next to Xia Lin.
This little move was noticed by Xia Lin, and now he knew where the diary that was supposed to be in Draco’s hand had gone.
only–
Voldemort and Grindelwald collaborated?
He thought strangely.
“Good morning, Mr. Draco, and Mr. Slughorn.” Lockhart said familiarly. “What time is the game going on now? Slytherin is far ahead? This has to be said. Congratulations!”
Xia Lin and Slughorn were both born in Slytherin. Now that the Slytherin team is leading, it is reasonable to say congratulations.
However, Xia Lin, who was forced to drop out of school in the middle of his career, had a damn sense of belonging to Slytherin. Slughorn didn’t seem to care when he heard his congratulations.
Quidditch?
snort.
Slughorn sneered inwardly. This kind of exercise does not seem to him to be of any benefit.
In comparison, Pokémon is more attractive to him. How to make good use of such a powerful power——
Lockhart had the same idea, so he came here specially.
“I see you two were discussing Pokémon here just now?” he asked knowingly.
“I’m just asking Professor Xia Lin how to train my Pokémon.” Slughorn replied.
“I’m really envious of you. You can really conquer Pokémon.” Lockhart said with yearning on his face. “Pokémon has had a huge impact on the international community recently! Especially the one who came from nowhere.” The Rockets who came out are said to have repelled several waves of encirclement and suppression attacks by wizards’ unions at all levels. The boss of Team Rocket, who seems to be named Sakaki, defeated dozens of Aurors in one fell swoop!”
“That Earth Sakaki, right?” Slughorn also became interested when he heard Lockhart mention the Rockets. He seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and also wanted to see Xia Lin’s opinion. “Although Team Rocket is very rampant in the world, in addition to Sakaki, there seem to be several capable members. They are called the Four Heavenly Kings. They claim to be from the Pokémon world. I wonder if you have heard of it, Mr. Xia Lin. ?”
“Of course I’ve heard of it.” Xia Lin smiled. With the Rockets under his own control, he couldn’t help but know. Moreover, the development and growth of Team Rocket has also rapidly increased the popularity of Pokémon. Now more and more members of Team Rocket have Pokémon.
The International Federation of Wizards is already in a hurry to attack Team Rocket.
I’m afraid it won’t be long before the Ministry of Magic of a certain country comes to him and signs an agreement with him to establish the International Pokémon Alliance.
“Team Rocket is the most terrifying villain organization in the Pokémon world. They not only steal Pokémon and use Pokémon as props, but their ambition is to rule the world,” Xia Lin said.
However, Slughorn asked a question that surprised him.
“If they succeed, what happens next?”
“after?”
“If you want to rule the world, or change the rules of the world with your own power, just slogans are not enough. How to rule is the most important thing.” Slughorn said with a smile, “If the so-called Rockets If you don’t even think about this step, it will be just a whimsical and violent gang at best.”
“If I had to make a metaphor, I’m afraid it would be Voldemort.”
Slughorn relentlessly used Voldemort’s case as a negative example. After hearing this, Lockhart’s face turned ugly for a moment, but he soon returned to smiling.
“Voldemort is a typical example – although pure-blood supremacy has always been his slogan, but since you eliminated him and his secrets were revealed, it is not difficult to find that this is just a slogan. Voldemort hates Muggles and A wizard from the Muggle world. But he has no respect for pure blood.
“The slogan is just a fig leaf for him, something he uses to cover up his birth. In fact, he has not thought about how to rule at all. All he does is bully through violence.”
Slughorn saw clearly.
The opposite of Voldemort is Grindelwald.
If Grindelwald had won that battle, what would come after the war would definitely not be oppression, but a world where wizards and Muggles coexist. Break the law of secrecy and break down the barriers.
Grindelwald does not discriminate against Muggles, and he also sees the power of technology.
Of course, it is impossible to say that Muggles and wizards will be absolutely equal under his rule. He is a wizard himself, so he will definitely put wizards in a higher position.
Slughorn was right, but Xia Lin looked at him with a strange look.
“Mr. Xia Lin doesn’t agree with me?”
“No, I totally agree!” Xia Lin smiled and gave him the greatest affirmation. At the same time, huge doubts arose against him.
——Slughorn is just an old man who is greedy for fame and fortune. Will he think about such profound things?
He will not!
Because Slighorn’s weakness is that he likes to have fun. He has long stopped paying too much attention to these major international events.
Xia Lin suddenly felt very interesting.
Not only did Lockhart get dumped, but now it seems that Slughorn also has a problem.
Dumbledore and he both thought Lockhart was Grindelwald’s man before, but now it seems that may not be the case. On the contrary, Slughorn is more like a disciple of Grindelwald.
But Xia Lin actually didn’t intend to tell Dumbledore.
He didn’t want to get involved in the old couple’s affairs. If Slughorn’s plan were to succeed, Dumbledore would have to meet Grindelwald sooner or later. I really don’t know that the twilight love between these two people can’t open up again.
On the other side, after Slughorn and Xia Lin finished talking, the idea of disbanding Team Rocket flashed through his mind.
‘If the leader of Team Rocket is really a wise man, maybe we can still cooperate. If he is just a violent person – Dumbledore, then you have to thank me for helping you solve a problem! ’
Thinking like this, Slughorn became even less interested in the Quidditch game.
But Lockhart’s plan has not yet succeeded.
“I’m afraid that the future world will be the world of Pokémon. Wizards without Pokémon will have less and less say in the international community. I wonder, Mr. Xia Lin, if I can also go to the protected area to capture one or two Pokémon. Dreams as material for lessons?”
This is Lockhart’s plan to get Pokémon for his master and himself.
There was a Snake before, and he wanted to accept it, but his vigilant owner thought that Pokémon was a Pokémon given by Dumbledore and was not trustworthy. Lockhart didn’t take away the Spoon Snake, he just modified Malfoy’s memory and left with the diary.
This is also the reason why Harry and others went to find Malfoy but did not get any news.
What Lockhart wants now is to tame a few Pokémon by himself, cultivate them from an early age, and then take them away to use them as the strength for him and his master to make a comeback.
At this time, cheers came from the crowd, and Harry rushed forward and caught the Golden Snitch first at the cost of falling heavily to the ground.
Malfoy was still in a daze.
“It looks like Gryffindor has won.” Slughorn said casually, “Then I’ll leave first and let Snape have his headache alone.”
“What a pity.” Lockhart really felt it was a pity.
“Come with me Mr. Lockhart.” Charlene stood up.
He now almost understood that Lockhart’s identity was probably that of a loyal Death Eater. He originally thought that all the Death Eaters had been wiped out, but he didn’t expect that such a single seedling would appear.
But despite this, he still planned to let them conquer a few Pokémon.
It’s interesting that Voldemort despises magical animals, but wants Pokémon so much.
And he wasn’t worried about Riddle hurting Pokémon. After all, Riddle is still sane and knows that if the Pokémon in his hand is gone, it will be almost impossible to get it again.
Xia Lin took Lockhart to the reserve, and Harry also received medical treatment successfully, and finally did not turn into rubber Harry.
But at night, the attack happened.
Colin Creevey is petrified!
The news spread throughout the school on Monday.
Lockhart held a small Nuora in his arms, with a look of horror on his face.
“This is really cruel,” he said, “but who on earth would cast such vicious black magic on a little wizard?”
“It can only be said that the Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened Gilderoy.” Dumbledore glanced at him and said meaningfully.
“But why was the secret room opened again?” Professor McGonagall asked in a panic.
She remembered that fifty years ago, when the secret room was opened, a student died.
Although there has been no murder yet, who knows what will happen next? If someone dies, that’s the worst case scenario.
“The question is not how, but who!”
Dumbledore said forcefully, and then his eyes briefly stayed on each professor’s pimples.
Apparently he had realized that the diary was no longer in Malfoy’s hands.
Now he suspected that the “saint” Lockhart had obtained the diary.
Otherwise, with Tom Riddle’s cruelty, it would be impossible for Colin Creevey to survive by such a coincidence.
But in fact, he was completely wrong.
Tom Riddle didn’t take the little wizard’s life because he didn’t want the school to be closed so soon.
If there was a murder, then Hart would not be able to stay at Hogwarts.
