"Mr. Malfoy, may I ask about the ingredients, preparation method, usage, and precautions of the Felicis Potion?"
"Gah, uh, well, I don't know, Professor."
"Sit down. Your biggest mistake is being arrogant in front of me. So, deduct ten points from Slytherin for being so cowardly. Mr. Potter. Why didn't you resist? Deduct 12 points from Gryffindor for your cowardice."
"Professor, but..."
"Shut up, Miss Granger. Three points from Gryffindor for talking back to the professor."
After dealing with the commotion, Snape decided to continue his classes as planned. After he finished his familiar opening remarks, the expressions of the students from the Lion and Serpent Houses began to look a little strange, but Snape didn't care.
He had seen this kind of surprised expression many times. Next, Snape decided to embarrass Harry Potter.
The three soul-searching questions were thrown to Harry Potter, and he stammered and couldn't answer them, but he told Zhang Wei's version of Snape's analysis of the flower language.
Snape's face trembled twice, and there was some indescribable meaning in his eyes.
Snape looked at Harry Potter again. That disgusting hair, that disgusting face. Only those eyes, the emerald color was just like his Lily.
Hinata Hoshino didn't care about what happened next. He had enough fun and should think about serious matters.
In the library, Madam Pince was categorizing books, cursing in her heart at the little wizard's destruction of the books.
No one noticed that there was an extra figure in the restricted book area. Three magatama appeared in the Byakugan of Hinata Hoshino, using the powerful dynamic vision and memory ability of the Sharingan.
I was scanning books like crazy. There were very few books in the banned section, and most of them were shrouded in black mist.
Chapter 107 The Origin of Bloodline
Judging from the titles of the books, only one book, "Bloodline Origins," is related to bloodline research.
The divine power was activated, and the book was sucked into the divine power space. A White Zetsu was pulled over and asked to read the book.
As soon as the page of the book was turned, ghosts cried and wolves howled, and black air instantly enveloped White Zetsu. Hinata Hoshino saw it and thought, "I have to help out." The Diamond Seal passed through White Zetsu, pulling out the curse from the book, and the Four Symbols Seal sealed the curse on White Zetsu.
Open the book and use the Sharingan to quickly flip through the memory. Wait until you have finished reading it all and memorize every word. Unlock the Four Symbols Seal on White Zetsu, and the curse will naturally return to the pages.
There is no solid information in the book. It is just a comparison of the possible blood relationship between the existing 28 sacred families in the wizarding world and magical creatures.
For example, the Gaunt family, descendants of Slytherin, after research and comparison, it is suspected that the Gaunt family has the blood of unicorns and invisible beasts.
Because Salazar Slytherin was the earliest Legilimency master in history, and both unicorns and clowns have the ability to sense people's minds.
Hinata Hoshino was a little confused. Why was this kind of logical reasoning banned? He also left a related curse on the book for defense.
Is it because these families in the wizarding world are afraid that the origin of their bloodline will be discovered? Or are the speculations written in this book actually true?
Interestingly, Hinata Hoshino returned the book to its original place, opened his Byakugan, and checked if there was any layer inside the book, or if there were any hidden books on the bookshelf.
I walked to the end of the restricted books area. I looked up and found that the last row of bookshelves seemed to have a higher level.
There must have been quite a few books there, so were they moved away by the headmaster? Dumbledore or the headmasters before him?
Walk to the eighth floor and look at the stone statue in front of you.
"Lemon Sherbet, Fizzy Bee Candy, Cockroach Pile, Licorice Stick, Chocolate Frog..."
Hinata Hoshino named a bunch of candies, but no one knew which candy's name was correct, and the statue slowly moved aside.
"Good morning, Principal."
The slightly casual tone did not cause any impact on Dumbledore, who was immersed in the joy of candy.
Phineas Black on the wall was furious. When he started to scold, Hyuga Hoshino used the King Kong blockade to silence him, and Delis Devonte immediately retorted.
"Boy, you should respect your principal."
"That's enough, Phineas. Dumbledore is the headmaster. You and I are dead. The dead should not dictate to the living."
The other principals on the wall were also looking at Phineas, and Phineas could only shut up in disappointment.
"Good morning, Mr. Zhang. What's going on? Why don't you sit down, have some dessert, and talk slowly."
"Okay."
Hinata Hoshino sat down, picked up the lemon snowball, ate it, and it tasted good.
"Please give everyone a cup of black tea with sugar and milk."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment."
The house-elf appeared and responded to the request. Not long after, the black tea was served. Hinata Hoshino took a sip and had a strange expression on his face. It was too sweet, so he put down the teacup silently.
Hinata Hoshino waved his hand, and the Hufflepuff gold cup and a photo frame without a portrait appeared.
"This is Hufflepuff's gold cup, and the portrait of Gryffindor."
Dumbledore put down the candy and stood up, and the portraits on the wall exclaimed in surprise.
"Professor, can you please leave the principals alone for a moment?"
Dumbledore nodded, and amid the dissatisfied shouts of the portraits on the wall, he waved the Elder Wand, and all the characters in the portraits closed their eyes as if they were sleeping.
"These are two items I accidentally obtained. However, there is a magic on the Hufflepuff's gold cup that allows it to be replicated infinitely. There is also magic on the Gryffindor portrait that prevents it from appearing."
"I understand, Mr. Zhang, these things still belong to you, I just hope they can be made public."
"Yes, please break these spells, Principal."
Dumbledore approached the Hufflepuff cup, waved the Elder Wand, and lifted it up to examine it, in keeping with the image in the legend.
"Bring the oldest house-elf."
The house-elf who had just delivered the black tea appeared, nodded, and left not long after, returning with the elderly house-elf who was trembling as he walked.
It trembled as it held up the golden cup in front of it, its cloudy eyes revealing sadness and nostalgia.
He recalled a legend passed down from generation to generation among the house elves: the Hufflepuffs who gave them a job and sheltered them from the elements.
They once used a golden cup to help them carry food. Hufflepuff was their benefactor, and the golden cup was their eternal comrade. Unfortunately, they lost both their benefactor and their comrade. Now their comrade has finally returned to Hogwarts.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang. My gratitude to you is like a river overflowing. We will always remember your kindness in our hearts."
Suddenly, a golden light appeared on the golden cup, and another blank photo frame flew in directly from the window of the principal's office. Hinata Hoshino quickly caught the photo frame.
A house elf teleported hurriedly into the headmaster's office.
"Principal, a photo frame suddenly appeared in the fireplace in the kitchen and flew away to somewhere..."
Halfway through his speech, he saw Hinata Hoshino holding a photo frame in his hand, and the oldest among them was holding the Hufflepuff gold cup.
"Grandfather, is this the Hufflepuff lady's gold cup?"
"Yes, it belongs to Mr. Zhang now. From today on, Mr. Zhang is our eternal benefactor."
The old elf returned the golden cup and went back to the kitchen with the two young elves. According to Hufflepuff students, unprecedented cheers were heard in the Hogwarts kitchen that day.
"System, copy."
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the Rune, z (algiz), do you want to fuse it?]
"Fusion."
This rune represents being lost, destiny and protection.
The moment the rune appeared in Hinata Hoshino's mind, it was swallowed by the Kirin, spit out, changed its form, and surrounded the Kirin.
Hinata Hoshino suddenly felt that the magic power in his body surged. His magic power, which was originally only at the level of a fourth-year student at Hogwarts, should now exceed that of an average professor at Hogwarts.
A magical power appeared in the Shenwei space, which should represent destiny.
The powers represented by the previous two runes and this rune can be mobilized, and the power of fire and light, time, and protection emerges.
That is, there are a few more abilities: Fierce Fire, Purification, Time Acceleration, and Mystical Guardian.
Hinata Hoshino's mouth twitched. As expected, the first draw was a guaranteed prize, and it was exactly the same routine as the portrait of Gryffindor.
Now only the portraits of Slytherin and Ravenclaw are left, which have not been found yet.
Dumbledore then looked at the portraits of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, the blank frames devoid of any magical fluctuations.
However, what happened just now was enough to prove that these were indeed portraits of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff, but how should the two of them appear?
This made Dumbledore feel a little at a loss. He waved the Elder Wand in his hand. In addition to the Apparition Charm, Dumbledore tried several other magics, all of which were magics that could make invisible objects visible.
All useless.
Chapter 108 Neville's Hope
Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh that the four giants were indeed the most outstanding wizards of their time.
Dumbledore suddenly thought of something, and waved his wand in the air, casting runes one after another to form a spell. The spell moved closer to the photo frame, and some fluctuations appeared on the frame, and then returned to calm.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, there's nothing I can do. This is a test from the Big Four, and it's up to you to discover it."
"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, Principal. I wonder if you have ever seen a Qilin?"
"Qilin? It's a magical animal from the East. I've seen it before, but that was decades ago."
Hinata Hoshino took off his shirt, turned his back to Dumbledore, and his Kirin tattoo emerged.
Hinata Hoshino can now control the Kirin tattoo. If she doesn't want anyone to see it, the tattoo will not appear even if her body temperature rises or she is doused in hot water.
Dumbledore looked at the tattoo on his back and was a little surprised because the tattoo on his back was very different from the Kirin that Dumbledore had seen when he was young.
How should I put it? The Kirin tattoo on his back is even more majestic and carries a sense of oppression.
The moment the Qilin tattoo appeared, Fawkes the Phoenix cried out to the sky, which surprised Dumbledore even more.
He was familiar with Fox, and this cry meant that he sensed danger.
Just a tattoo can have such a pressure? Dumbledore thought that the Qilin he saw when he was young might be fake.
"Mr. Zhang, please put it away. Fox is feeling a little uncomfortable."
"I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't think of that."
Hinata Hoshino stopped smiling, put on his clothes and turned around.
"I have to say, Mr. Zhang, you should have the blood of Qilin in you. But when I was young, I didn't feel the pressure of Qilin like this one."
"Professor, can you tell me where you encountered the Qilin?"
Dumbledore told Newt the location where the Kirin was found, and Hinata Hoshino nodded, which was more detailed than the location where Ollivander's grandfather encountered the Kirin.
