The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Hermione's eyes widened with anger after hearing the discriminatory title.

Filch was roaring. He firmly believed that the three of them had murdered his cat. In the face of his incoherent condemnation and loud crying, Harry's defense was as weak as dry grass in a storm.

Erwin looked at Malfoy, "Excuse me, what did you call me just now?" He looked confused.

Brother Yan gave me a lot of fun, "Isn't this the first time you've heard someone call you this? It's really sad. If you want me to say, you'd better go back and live a good life with your Muggle family..."

"What did you say?" Erwin still looked incomprehensible.

"I called you Mudblood, you idiot!" Malfoy said angrily.

Erwin sighed, showing an extremely helpless look, "You heard it too, professors, this has caused great harm to my soul."

Malfoy froze, he turned his head slowly, and saw Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape...almost all the faculty and staff came.

right behind him.

His face immediately turned pale, why did he not notice their arrival?

"Five points deducted from Slytherin." Professor McGonagall said with a cold face, "Please apologize to them immediately, Mr. Malfoy."

Classmate Drago looked bitterly at Snape, but his dean didn't seem willing to take his side when Harry Potter wasn't involved, so he could only treat Hermione as if he had eaten a fly. say sorry.

Miss Nutria tossed her head proudly.

Erwin faced Malfoy with a sunny smile. He had already seen that this little bastard was a purely stern guy, usually arrogant and domineering, and when he met someone with real power, he was quicker than anyone else. .

This may be their family's consistent style of doing things.

Dumbledore reassured the Administrator, then checked the stiff cat. "It's not dead, Argus," he said to Filch.

"But why is it so stiff..."

"It's petrified."

There was a small noise around, and many students looked relieved. Death was too heavy for these children, even if it was just a cat.

Erwin also observed from a distance. Mrs. Norris looked like a frozen corpse, which was not the result of ordinary petrification spells.

Filch was still very emotional, "Potter did it, he is so lawless, you must punish him."

"I don't think Harry is capable enough to use such a powerful petrification spell...Let's talk about it elsewhere."

"My office is upstairs, you can go there." Gilderoy Lockhart was quite eager to express.

"Trouble, Gilderoy." Dumbledore nodded slightly, "Other students, you can go back to your dormitory." He said in a very calm and reliable tone.

The students separated automatically to let the professors pass. Before leaving, Snape stared sharply at Erwin's sleeve, as if he could see the wand hidden inside.

Erwin remained calm, he did use a simple but ingenious silent spell just now to keep Malfoy from noticing the arrival of the professors.The wand itself is a very small object, and some simple means can create a visual deception effect, such as holding the front half of the wand as he did just now, so that it can be hidden in the sleeve. Not a small impact, but enough concealment.

Of course, this must not be hidden from experienced veterans.

On the way back to the dormitory, Erwin leaned over to Melanie, "Where is Ginny?"

Melanie pointed out to Erwin the redheaded girl who looked distraught.

"Those words were written by her?"

"Maybe." Melanie looked a little indifferent.

"Pay more attention to her, and let me know if there is anything unusual," Erwin said.

This little girl is indeed a little strange, but it is not clear what she is going to do at this time, so you might as well wait and see what happens.

The next morning, Erwin finds Colin Creevey in the Gryffindor common room and returns the camera, which already has color photography capabilities.

However, Colin didn't show much joy, but a worried look, "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, we Muggle-borns will be in danger..."

"Where does this start?" Erwin felt a little strange.

"My roommates kept telling me about this last night." Colin swallowed, "It is said that the founder of the school, Salazar Slytherin, left a secret room, and once it is opened by his heir, there will be horrible Something comes out of it and purges the unworthy of magic from this school."

"It sounds like that, but you don't need to take such rumors to heart." Erwin didn't care too much.

Not to mention that those words were originally written by Ginny, how could the professors at Hogwarts allow students to be threatened with death in the school.

But a day later, Erwin found that the atmosphere of panic was spreading, and "Hogwarts, a School History" in the library was borrowed out, just because it mentioned the legend of the chamber of secrets; Hermione faced Binns in the history of magic class. The professor asked about the Chamber of Secrets. Although the ghost professor kept emphasizing that this was just a rumor without factual basis, it did not calm down the students' emotions; Just hide, because he is from a Muggle family, and Potter is suspected of opening the Chamber of Secrets.

Children are immature, and it is normal to be suspicious. Erwin began to think about what he could do in this atmosphere.

"Do you know any other Muggle-borns in your class?" he asked when he found Colin.

"Some are familiar, but not all of them." Colin replied.

"Help me convey the news to them. I hope they will come to the No. [-] spare room of the Charms class on Friday afternoon, and I will provide them with some help." Erwin patted him on the shoulder.

It was not difficult, so Colin agreed.

The second graders will be notified by Erwin himself.On Friday afternoon, a total of two dozen first and second year Muggle homeschoolers came to Charms second spare room.

"All Gryffindors are here, eight Hufflepuffs are here, and one Ravenclaw is here... It seems that I still have some appeal." Erwin was quite satisfied with this.

According to the teaching rules of Hogwarts, there is no class on Friday afternoon, so Erwin can use this classroom at will.

Erwin stood on the lecturer's seat and looked at these young students, "I believe everyone has already felt it. In this magical world, we are a faintly isolated group. We don't have a huge magic family, nor Relatives who know magic, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves, in this case, we Muggle-born wizards should unite and help each other."

His speech didn't get much response, and Colin was the only one who applauded.

What to do next?Announcing the formation of a Muggle student society?That was too straightforward, and Erwin would naturally not be so impatient.

He clapped his hands, and Melanie came up with a box. Naturally, the background Dumbledore arranged for her could not be from a magical family, so she was also "counted" as a Muggle student.

"I know everyone is worried about the Chamber of Secrets, so I have prepared some gadgets for you." He took out a very simple metal ring from the box, "This is a simple magic item, it can provide certain Defensive effect, to help you resist a curse, and if you break it directly, it will sound a very harsh alarm, like this."

As Erwin demonstrated, the cacophony of noise echoed through the classroom, and the students had to cover their ears, but their eyes sparkled with excitement.

"I think this ring should help when you are really attacked. The alarm will let the professors know that you are in danger and come to help." Erwin opened the bag, "Each of you can Take one, that's what I came here for."

"Can we... really take it?" an apple-faced Hufflepuff girl asked cautiously.

In the impression of these young wizards, even the simplest magic items are quite expensive.

"Of course." Erwin nodded, and put a ring directly into her hand.

A blush rose on the Hufflepuff girl's apple face, "Thank you, my name is Ashley Laureamon." She introduced herself in a low voice.

Erwin smiled kindly.

"Everyone can take one." Erwin greeted the others.

A few young wizards were still a little hesitant, but under the pressure of the rumors about the chamber of secrets, they finally chose to accept it and took the ring from Erwin.

Hermione was the last one. "How much did you pay for these rings?" she asked with some concern.

The two were nominally related, and she was worried that Erwin was spending money indiscriminately.

"These are all made by myself." Erwin didn't hide it either.

The cost and technical content of these rings are very low. The so-called magic defense is to offset an ordinary stun spell, and it is a one-time use. It is basically a thing to fool children. It took Erwin only half an hour to make so many. .

But from another point of view, these simple gadgets can be considered to play a big role in reassuring young Muggle-born wizards.

In Hermione's eyes, these rings are not "simple gadgets". Her expression was a bit complicated, "So this is what you learned in your special training some time ago?"

"That's right." Erwin nodded, and he was indeed studying magic literature.

Hermione took a deep breath. Last school year, she got excellent in all subjects, and she was the undisputed number one in the whole year. She thought she should be no worse than Erwin, but unexpectedly, she was still left behind by him.

Professor Dumbledore only asked Erwin to take "special training", apparently only thinking that he had talent in this area.

This hit Hermione a little bit.

Her eyes turned to Melanie again, looking at the delicate and delicate features of the other party, and Miss Nutria received the second blow.

She suddenly remembered an old book she found in the library, "How to Shape Beauty with Magic".

Maybe...she should read it?
