Hogwarts magic is justice

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 (Combined into one chapter)

Anyone who dares to mess with Hogwarts will pay the price!

"From now on, form groups of three, arranged by grade. Fourth graders will use the Reveal Charm to scout and look for clues. Third and fifth graders will be on guard. Search! Find them first!"

The students began to form teams, quickly creating small groups that lined up to search. Once they found a trace, they would immediately change their route and continue searching.

The first and second-year wizards are responsible for the daily affairs of the camp, such as setting up the camp and moving supplies. If one person's magic level is not enough, they will find others to do it together. So in the camp, you can often see three or four wizards using the levitation spell to move various supplies together.

The sixth and seventh graders were already proper wizards. They gathered together, making all the necessary preparations for battle, because if they encountered an enemy, they couldn't let their younger schoolmates go into battle, could they? At that time, it would be the older students who would form the main force.

With the entire school mobilized, the American Ministry of Magic naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. If word got out—no, it already did—the prestige of the American Ministry of Magic would be completely tarnished.

Professors and students from other countries who came to compete and exchange ideas were attacked and disappeared within American territory after the competition, but the Ministry of Magic told them to find them themselves.

Now things are much better; people are coming to find us themselves, and the number of people who are coming is extraordinary!

Although Owen has spent most of his time at Hogwarts over the years, he has also gone out occasionally and made quite a few friends.

For example, Mr. Gilbert Fontana, the vice principal of Ilfamoni, had a good relationship with Owen. Upon hearing the news, he immediately organized the sixth and seventh grade students of his school to come and provide supplies.

Fontana arrived at the front lines first, saw the traces of battle, and then his eyes narrowed. He immediately found Owen: "Owen, I think I know who Snape and the others encountered."

Although he hadn't had a proper rest for several days, Irving's eyes lit up even more upon hearing the news: "Please speak."

"I discovered ritual magic here, and this kind of magic belongs to a dark organization in our country called—"

The Tenth Plenary Session.

Fontana frowned and said, "But I don't understand why they went to so much trouble to take Snape and the students away."

"Mr. Snape is a recognized Potions Master, and his students are among the most skilled in Potions at Hogwarts."

Fontana breathed a sigh of relief: "This means they want Snape and the students to make potions for them, which means they are still useful, so their lives should be guaranteed."

Owen also breathed a sigh of relief. What he feared most was that the Death Eaters, who were hiding and whose identities were still unknown, would target Snape and the students in order to take revenge on him.

"Sir, where can I find this so-called Tenth Plenary Session?"

The location of the Tenth Council is no secret in the American magical community; it's in a valley in the West.

The Ministry of Magic had organized forces to strike before, but the enemy always received advance warning. But now, Owen has arrived.

The magic concealed it, making it undetectable even to satellites. But for Owen, who was also a wizard, the entire valley, with its bandit-like buildings, was clearly visible to him.

Owen casually drew his large magic wand and slowly floated down from the sky. Without saying a word, he immediately unleashed the Divine Edge.

Whether he's here or not isn't important. What's important is to kill a bunch of people first. He came alone this time just to test the waters. If there are too many of them for him to handle, he'll kill a bunch, then fly away, gather his forces, and come back. If he can win, he'll just wipe them out and find them along the way.

After the Unseen Strike, Owen didn't even bother to check the outcome. The green orb on his wand had already taken shape, and then countless tiny green rays began their sweeping attack.

It's still a killing curse, but because it's too scattered, its lethality is much weaker. However, if you get hit by it, you'll still lose half your life.

"Where are the people you arrested a few days ago?"

-

Irving would find anyone alive and ask them questions; if the answer was "I don't know" or "I'm not sure," he would be beheaded on the spot!

These heads didn't stay in one place; instead, they floated behind him. At first, it was fine, but after he had walked around for most of the circle, it became terrifying!

Finally, someone spoke up, and Owen quickly rescued the people. Fortunately, they were all alright, just mentally unwell. Their wands had also been taken away. After finding the wands, Snape drank a potion and regained some energy. He then led the students away first, but Owen was in no hurry to leave. He piled up the heads and used the blood on the ground to write a few words.

The rescue operation was successful, and there was no need to go back. Instead, a grand banquet was held right there in the camp, and everyone enjoyed a lively and joyful day before returning home in batches the next day.

Irving was among the last to return. Before leaving, he hugged Fontana and said, "Sir, thank you so much for your help. I owe you a favor, and I will do my best to help you if needed in the future."

The young vice principal laughed heartily, patted Owen on the shoulder, and said, "Owen, you're welcome to come to Ifamoni anytime. If you'd like to come, I'll give you my vice principal position, how about that?"

Owen chuckled, "You must be joking. Hogwarts is my home, and I prefer staying at home."

As they watched the plane take off, Fontana's assistant finally spoke up: "Mr. Principal, I don't understand why they chose to leave in such a shoddy manner?"

Fontana shook his head: "No, you don't understand. This is what I value most about Owen. The wizarding world and Muggle society have been out of touch for too long, which is not a good thing. In the future, the two sides will inevitably merge. Letting wizards get in touch with Muggle technology in advance is one way to achieve this."

The assistant was even more bewildered: "Sir, Owen—sir, he's only a teenager, right? Does he have that kind of intelligence?"

"Did you think I was joking when I asked him to be the vice principal of Iphamony? I was serious—"

"ah???"

Fontana patted his assistant on the shoulder: "There are many things you don't know. For example, this boy you see is actually a powerful figure at Hogwarts. And as far as I know, the British Ministry of Magic is also in his hands. Furthermore, the policies of the British Ministry of Magic in recent years also came from this young wizard. If only someone like him were born in America!"

The British are like a belt that can't be tied tight—they're so loose.

So it's not difficult to find out what happened to Irving if you have any connections. You can find out how he helped Fudge secure his position as minister and how he quietly and quickly removed Fudge from office.

Moreover, anyone with a modicum of sense would know that this young wizard's temper was not as good as the legends suggested, and he was nothing like Dumbledore.

Just like now, in that nameless valley, the pile of severed heads and the blood-written words floating on the pile all show that this little wizard not only has a brain, but also has brutal methods!

"Anyone who dares to trespass on Hogwarts will be killed!"

A man in black robes appeared in the valley, surveyed the situation, and then left silently. Shortly after he left, another group of people arrived. Looking at the mound of corpses and the blood-written words, anger rose along with a sense of fear. Even the most wicked people had never seen such cruel methods. Since the existence of the Unforgivable Curse, even the most brutal black wizards would no longer resort to beheading.

Because the magical world is also progressing, for a period of time after decapitation, not only can the head be reattached, but the person can also be brought back to life. That's why killing spells that directly affect the soul are so brutal in the eyes of wizards.

In Muggle society—it would be a laughing stock. Even killing someone is done so slowly. The wizarding world is no better.

You should know that in Muggle society, leaving a person with a complete body is considered a very mild approach.

"Should we avenge this?"

"Report? How can we report this? We only captured a few people to brew potions for us, but look at the methods of retaliation they're using. If we seek revenge, we'll face endless retribution. Don't forget, they're Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry—a school with new students every year and graduates every year! What do we have?"

The entire room fell silent.

After a long pause, someone finally spoke up: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Someone retorted, "Are you planning to storm Hogwarts? Voldemort is dead, his head's in the newspapers, are you going to do the same?"

The scene fell silent again.

No one dared to touch the mound of corpses. The methods used by wizards were quite extraordinary. What if there was some even more powerful magic hidden inside this mound of corpses?

Irving's move has alarmed not only people in the United States, but also some hidden forces from various sides.

In the past, no matter how much Owen and Voldemort caused trouble, these hidden forces wouldn't have paid any attention. In their eyes, it was nothing more than a fight over a magic school, or at most, just a small part of England. No matter how much trouble they caused, it wouldn't amount to anything.

But his actions in the United States directly demonstrated Irving's style of doing things; he was different from those timid, infighting-prone British.

brutal?

That's the view of a coward. The principle of striking once to avoid a hundred blows is something anyone with a bit of ability understands, and they understand even better that Owen's purpose in doing this was not just for the Tenfold Council, but for everyone in the wizarding world. He wanted everyone and every power in the wizarding world to know what the consequences would be for those who messed with Hogwarts!

"Interesting. Perhaps we should send someone to make contact?"

"No need, they've already noticed him over there. I don't want anything to do with that woman, so forget it."

"The wizarding world has produced such a figure. Interesting. Perhaps—we can make contact with this person beforehand and test their attitude?"

"Yes, as far as I know, this person is also in contact with the wizard hunter Calder, and their relationship is quite good. We might be able to make contact through Calder."

Owen naturally didn't care how much attention he received, but the kidnapping of Snape and his group made him feel a sense of crisis. The weakness of wizards who couldn't cast spells without their wands was all too obvious.

This must be corrected!

Casting spells without a staff is too difficult, but hand gesture magic—although it's not quite strong enough—can be surprisingly effective when used to launch a surprise attack or to save yourself.

Having figured this out, Owen returned the History of Magic course to Professor Binns, and the schedules of all four houses were completely changed. Students, regardless of grade, had to get up at six in the morning and attend morning self-study sessions to learn hand gesture magic!

What truly affects students' spellcasting is the instability of their internal magic. Previously, no one had focused on this aspect because the magic would naturally stabilize after a wizard reached adulthood, at which point the success rate of spellcasting would naturally increase.

So what students need to do now is to familiarize themselves with the spell, practice more, and prepare more.

Owen was originally not allowed to break this rule. It was a long-standing custom in the British magical community, and there was no need to change it. Even when Voldemort was still a threat, Owen did not intend to change it.

Because Voldemort was at most a "regional" villain.

But this time it was different. The Decade was able to easily ambush and capture Snape and the students alive, and as far as Owen knew, the Decade was just a small "magical force".

If Hogwarts is targeted by a powerful force in the future, will he just stand by and watch the students helplessly?

They may not need to fight, but they must have the ability to protect themselves!

"Before learning hand gesture magic, you must first learn a breathing method. Through this method, you can stabilize the magic power within your body, and it may even increase significantly. This is normal, so don't worry. Come on, listen to my command: exhale, exhale, inhale—"

It wasn't some kind of breathing technique; rather, he took out a breathing method from the Golden Light Mantra, made some slight modifications, and taught it to all the students in the school.

Although incomplete, Owen's Golden Light Charm has become quite useful after years of practice; his ability to withstand Voldemort's Killing Curse unscathed is the best proof of that.

This was something Dumbledore had obtained for himself when he went to that great Eastern country. He didn't dare to teach it to others without permission, but he figured that stabilizing the magic within his body through breathing should be fine.

Unlike other professors, when Irving teaches, he explains in advance why he is doing it, what the effect will be, and what purpose he wants to achieve.

Just like now, students know that learning this breathing technique is to stabilize their magic and then better learn hand gesture magic so that they can better protect themselves in the future when they encounter danger and do not have a wand.

Knowing this, even the most mischievous students won't slack off in this regard; when it comes to their lives, everyone will take it seriously.
