Talisman Magic in Harry Potter - Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Sorting Ceremony (Part 2)
He is not willing to let others see through his own ideas, and Andros is no exception.
He was not sure whether Dumbledore, the principal who had absolute power over the entire castle, would ask every little wizard his thoughts from the sorting hat after the sorting ceremony.
We must know that the entire Harry Potter story is to some extent carried out under the watchful eye of Dumbledore’s arrangement. Without his arrangement, the savior would not experience various trials and grow up.
Even if there was an accident with Dumbledore, Harry Potter succeeded in defeating Voldemort according to his plan before his death.
Anything outside of the plan will get Dumbledore’s great attention, and Andros doesn’t want to be treated like this and be stared to death.
Talisman related to immortality, infinite youth, unlimited healing, flying, and heat vision.
Andros know that no one will not be attracted to this.
Andros would not put hope on others, even if it was a magical creation, he did not dare to relax his vigilance, and could only find ways to make up for it.
When the applause subsided, Professor McGonagall took two steps forward and gently unfolded a roll of parchment in his hand.
“Whoever I call by name now puts on a hat, sits on a stool, and waits for the sorting house.” She said solemnly, “Hannah Abbot!”
A reckless little girl walked out of the queue. She sat on a stool and put on a sorting hat.
Obviously, this hat was too big for her, and it suddenly covered her eyes.
“Hufflepuff–!” the sorting hat stretched out and shouted.
“Susan Burns!”
“Hufflepuff–!”
The freshmen who were named walked up one by one, and then were assigned to their respective colleges by the sorting hat.
“Hermione Granger!”
Hermione heard her name, and she looked back at Andros, and after receiving encouragement, she trot and sat on the stool and put on the sorting hat.
“Gryffindor–!”
The students of Gryffindor habitually chanted welcome to the new students who joined the house.
Hermione ran into the middle of them excitedly, found an empty seat and sat down, and there were a few empty seats beside her.
Although she didn’t say anything, Andros knew that Hermione still wished she could be assigned to an house with her.
“Andros Carrow!”
As soon as this name appeared, as if all teachers eyes directly fall on the Andros.
“Is this the child who was able to break the half century long curse?”
“I don’t feel he is simple.”
“Yes, see that the magic in his body is already at the level of adult.”
Even Voldemort behind Quirrell became interested.
This was a very big incident. Even after 20 years passed, people talk about it.
Almost all Pure-blood family shook to the core, that suddenly a powerful Pure-blood family just vanished out of nothing.
And the very strange curse which passed from generation to generation.
It was his turn, and Andros calmly walked up, activating his Rooster talisman.
Rooster talisman increases your mental powers, and help you use those mental powers to levitate objects.
It’s just he doesn’t know if he can go against mind reading ability of the hat.
Along with it, he also concentrate on some particular thoughts, and not think about talisman at all.
Although a person can only feel his only one thought in his daily life, in fact, countless thoughts flash in his mind all the time. Although these thoughts are too short to be noticed by others, they do exist and affect a person’s judgment. Even many secrets will be exposed by these thoughts.
Andros recalled the state of his meditation, trying to empty his mind without thinking about anything, and then concentrated all his mind on the four words “Gryffindor”.
He wants to use this method to minimize the possibility of his own thinking.
Andros endured to put on the shabby sorting hat, and as soon as he put it on, he felt a spiritual force gently probing his thoughts, but the intensity was not great.
But Andros did not slack off. He just use Rooster talisman spiritual energy to perfectly cover those memories regarding talisman.
And also counting his previous ‘misleading technique’, he estimated that he could pass the blunder.
“I have never seen a kid who is eager to join Gryffindor like this, um–, well, I will satisfy you!”
“Gryffindor–!”
As soon as he heard the first syllable, Andros immediately took off his hat and put it on the stool, and then walked towards their area amidst the cheers of Gryffindor House.
Hermione also stood up happily and waved for Andros to sit next to her.
Andros didn’t hesitate, and sat down beside Hermione.
Soon, all the freshmen have their own belongings.
The savior Harry Potter and his little buddies became part of Gryffindor without surprise, and Malfoy and his two followers also became part of Slytherin house as they wished.
“Welcome everyone to Hogwarts to start the new school year! Before the banquet begins, I want to say a few words. That is-idiot! Crying! Remnants! Screw! Thank you everyone!” Dumbledore finished his post. After speaking, they sat down again, and everyone quickly clapped.
I saw a large amount of food suddenly appeared on the empty golden plate on the long table. Roast beef, roast chicken, pork, lamb, sausage, bacon and steak, as well as boiled tomatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, French fries, Yorkshire diced, Sydney, carrot broth, tomato sauce, and mint-flavored hard candy.
I really don’t know that mint-flavored hard candies will appear on the table at the banquet. Maybe it is to refresh the mouth after eating the food?
After getting Dog Talisman, Andros found that the youthful energy he gets, it also help him digest almost anything.
It’s like boosting his Testosterone.
Which allow him to eat a lot.
It’s like his body is adjusting itself to talismans. Both Horse talisman and Dog talisman are not simple healing and immortality.
The surrounding students were eating and talking happily, and soon the topic shifted to their families.
“My parents are ordinary people. When I received the admission letter from Hogwarts, my parents were shocked and thought it was a prank!” Hermione actively said, “You What? Neville.”
“I was raised by my grandmother, and she is a wizard.” Neville said, “but my family has long treated me as an ordinary person. My uncle always wanted to train me to be a wizard-once, he Pushing me off the Blackpool Pier, I was almost drowned-but my life before the age of eight was nothing special. At the age of eight, my uncle came to my house as a guest and he grabbed my ankle and threw me Hanging upside down outside the window to practice exercises, when his aunt handed him a cookie, he accidentally let go of his hand, but not only did I not fall to death, but I also bounced from the garden all the way to the road. At that time, my grandma cried with joy when she saw me safe and sound. My uncle was also very happy and bought this toad for me.”
Hearing Neville’s account, Hermione was obviously a little surprised and puzzled, but seeing Neville’s joy, she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she could only hand the question to Andros in private.
While eating the second batch of candies, Andros replied casually, “It’s easy to understand that if wizards are regarded as nobles, and this kind of nobles can be regarded as hereditary to a large extent, but suddenly the family’s A certain younger generation is not eligible to inherit the title of nobility, which is quite a shame for a family.”
“That wouldn’t be enough to push the child into the sea or hang it upside down out of the window?” Hermione still thought it was a little weird.
“Of course, as a wizard, although it is not allowed to use magic in front of ordinary people at will, as long as he wants, the wizard can easily take the life of an ordinary person. In addition, after becoming a wizard, even if he has no ability to live the life of the top people, but at least the daily food and clothing are not troublesome.”
Andros swallowed a piece of beef and continued: “If one generation fails to become a wizard, then it is even more unlikely that the next generation of the family will appear as a wizard. Although it is possible for a child in an ordinary family to become a wizard, it is compared to a new-born wizard. In terms of the total number, it is still very small. The defeat of the wizard into the Muggle in their mouth, and the separation from the wizard’s world, this huge gap is the same as the sudden loss of a huge ancestral legacy.”
Seeing what Hermione could not understand, Andros could only give a simpler answer: “That’s love, it’s Uncle Neville’s most sincere love for him!”
