Hogwarts Card System

But before Ted and Hermione finished their first glass of butterbeer, a bell rang outside the window!

"Huh? Is it this late already?" Ron thought in a daze that it was almost dinner time.

But Ted and the others knew it was not!

"What time does the clock strike?" Jerry wondered.

He reminded Ted with one sentence: "No, it's a wake-up call!"

As I said before, the bell may not have been rung for ten years, but it was rung now.

Ted rushed out of the tavern first, his wand already in his hand.

When the friends saw Ted like this, they immediately followed.

When the other students saw this scene, their blood boiled immediately, and they pulled out their wands and shouted: "Go help Ted!"

Six or seven people rushed out of the tavern in a swarm, startling the other drinking guests.

Lady Boss: Luckily, I always collect the money first, otherwise I would lose a lot!

...

Time goes back to last night.

Basel cried and hugged his swallow-tailed dog Sanji, and stumbled out of the forbidden forest.

His Sanji was a seasoned hound and knew the Forbidden Forest well.

And Basel is doing some small business of buying and selling.

As I said before, the basic life of a wizard is considered worry-free, so there are many such wizards who have nothing to do to make a living.

They usually do a small business when they are short of money, or do part-time jobs, and lie down again when they have nothing to do.

And Basel planned to renovate his house before winter came, and planned to collect some herbs in the forbidden forest to sell.

When he was in school, he got good grades in herbal medicine, and he has been able to cope with the lack of money these years by picking herbs.

Although the Forbidden Forest nominally belongs to Hogwarts, such a large magical forest certainly cannot be like a feudal lord who hangs anyone who goes hunting!

Generally, as long as you are not the kind of magical animal on the protection list for malicious poaching, the school does not care about other behaviors.

Like gathering herbs, catching some legal magical animals, etc., are all fine.

The main reason is that I can't manage it if I want to. Hagrid has been hard enough playing hide-and-seek with those poachers.

Generally, this kind of behavior is ignored at all, and if it looks pleasing to the eye, it will even help.

Because of Sanji the swallowtail dog, Hagrid also helped Basel twice.

It was the same this time, when Basel came out of the Forbidden Forest not long after he came out of the Forbidden Forest with the mud mixed with blood stains, holding the lifeless swallow-tailed dog Sanji, Hagrid found him.

Seeing Hagrid, Basel hugged Sanji and cried loudly.

According to him, he was attacked by a crazy Tebo warthog while stepping on moonflowers in the woods!

Sanji was stabbed in the abdomen by Tebo Warthog trying to protect him.

Although Basel had already applied Baixian essence to Sanji, it still couldn't survive.

Hagrid felt the same way. The magical animal population in the Forbidden Forest has indeed seemed a little nervous recently, and something might happen again.

"Poor Sanji..." Hagrid also shed a few grape-sized tears.

After Basel returned to Hogsmeade's home, he reluctantly buried Sanji behind the house and erected a monument.

However, what he didn't expect was that just this afternoon, when he, who had not recovered from his pain, went to the grave to pay homage to Sander, Sander crawled out of the soil!

Then he attacked Basel, who was filled with grief and joy, and was extremely shocked...

Before Basel had time to take out his wand, he was thrown down and bitten by Sanji.

His cries for help alarmed the neighbors, and as a result, the "resurrected" Sanji bit his master like crazy.

Even after being hit by three spells in a row, he still crawled towards the nearby villagers, clenching his sharp teeth together.

In the panic, I don't know who used the magic wand to trigger the alarm, which attracted more people's attention.

By the time Ted arrived, the "resurrected Sanji" had been subdued. Behind him were eight or nine young wizards from Hogwarts, and the number immediately increased.

There were already six or seven wizards around the scene before, and two of them were bitten.

One had multiple wounds on his body and bled a lot, and the other had a bite on his arm.

The onlookers and wizards talked a lot:

"what happened?"

"Sangji crazy?!"

"But I heard that Sanji passed away last night. Basel buried him in his backyard!"

"Then what is this now?"

"It doesn't look normal!"

Can it be normal?

The swallow-tailed dog has gray hair, white eyes, a lot of viscous saliva from its mouth, and a faint rancid smell on its body. Even though it is controlled by the spell, it is still barking at people nearby!

There is no such thing as rabies!

The first time Ted saw it, he had an impression in his heart: Zombie dog? !

He was shocked!

If this is the Resident Evil T virus, then it's over!

Maybe magic can't control the spread of that thing!

For a while, cold sweat oozes out. But soon he discovered that the "zombie swallowtail dog" had magic fluctuations.

Very different magic fluctuations, never seen before.

Ted waved into the air, and Ansu landed on his shoulder.

Ted whispered a few words, Ansu nodded, flapped his wings and flew towards the school.

...

This eventually alarmed Minister of Magic Fudge.

Of course, it may be because of Dumbledore's appearance, but it is indeed unusual for a swallow-tailed dog that has been resurrected after death and gone mad.

Especially after the two wounded in St. Mungo were diagnosed by a therapist as having received a strange curse, things became even more unusual.

Resurrection!

Crazy!

Curse!

These three words are intertwined, how can it be ordinary.

Dumbledore has carefully checked the zombie swallowtail dog. To be precise, it is not a zombie, but an undead swallowtail dog.

Good news: it's not the T virus.

Bad news: It might be a natural disaster of the undead! At least a necromancer, right?

Is there such a thing as a necromancer in this world? some!

Otherwise, what are the mummies in Egypt, the zombie Taoists in the East, and the psychics in Japan?

Even Voodoo in Africa is especially good at making reanimated corpses, communicating with dead souls, and even contacting "gods"!

It's just that in recent decades, as wizards from Africa have also joined the International Federation of Wizards, many things that do not comply with the regulations have become less and less.

If you look at it now, there are more in South America.

However, the undead dog in front of him is completely different from the local "death magic".

This thing has a terrible contagiousness!

If St. Mungo's doctor hadn't been really high-end and discovered the magic power left in the wounded man's wound in time, and then discovered this "curse of the undead", the two of them would have died within a few days.

And after death, they will also become undead who attack people madly, the kind that can infect curses.

This is a big problem.

Europe experienced the Black Death in the Middle Ages!

Once bitten, twice shy.

Immediately, thirty or forty Aurors and strikers came to Hogsmeade with various equipment and equipment.

Some of them sealed off the village and were not allowed to enter or leave; some went straight to the Forbidden Forest to find the crazy Tebo warthog that Basel was talking about.

And St. Mungo's therapists, some curse-breakers, and potion masters researched how to lift this curse, and might even need to study preventive methods.

Now there is a very bad guess: if you are bitten, you will be cursed, and you will die within two days of being cursed. After you die, you will continue to expand the scope of the curse, so the number of various magical animals in the Forbidden Forest...is very scary!

This time the Ministry of Magic is also aware of the danger, and it can be said that it has spent a lot of money.

Six giant magic devices with a diameter of more than two meters and a height of three and a half meters were placed around Hogsmeade, forming a hexagram circle, and then opened a huge magic barrier that could envelop the entire village!

That's quite a feat.

Ted knew that Hogwarts had a similar magical barrier, but one was that it was not of such a large area, and the other was that it had been continuously improved and accumulated over thousands of years.

I didn't expect the Ministry of Magic to use the magic technology of the gnomes to come up with such an advanced thing.

They don't eat dry food either!

In addition, those Aurors and strikers all carried some standard equipment with some familiar runes on them.

This is the rune equipment technology of the dwarves...

This is very good, and it is true that multi-racial communication has improved.

But there are still problems, mainly the lack of manpower.

The number of wizards has always been a big problem.

There are about 30,000 in the UK, but they are very scattered.

And there are even fewer violent departments in the Ministry of Magic that specialize in combat.

Generally capable wizards really don't want to be an Auror in the Ministry of Magic, let alone a striker, the level of combat power is quite low.

Probably the difference between the armed police and the civilian police.

This manpower is not enough, so someone suggested dementors again...
