I don’t know the details.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just hearing Voldemort’s name made Ginny choke; she asked no more, only pulled Ivy away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Friday, Lupin taught a theoretical lesson on the Boggart’s traits—how, when it transforms into another creature, it inherits that creature’s weaknesses. For example, if someone fears vampires, the Boggart’s vampire form would still be repelled by garlic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He explained this so the children would understand: if they encountered a dark creature in the wild, simply use the appropriate countermeasure—it would work regardless of whether it was a Boggart in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then, Professor, what’s the point of learning about the Boggart?” Hermione raised her hand and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent question,” Lupin praised her. “From a child’s perspective, if you open your closet and find a zombie, a vampire, or your least favorite teacher, the first spell you should think of is Riddikulus—because the Boggart loves to hide in closets.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From an adult’s perspective,” Lupin added, “a creature that can read emotions like the Boggart is worth serious study—some spells were even invented because of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of class, Harry stayed behind, wanting to ask Lupin about the Patronus Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Harry, I didn’t realize you were this afraid of Dementors at this stage,” he said. “But the Patronus Charm is an extremely difficult spell—I haven’t decided yet how to teach it to students.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I’ll wait until after Christmas,” Lupin hesitated. “We’ll begin learning the Patronus Charm in the second half of the year—it’s simply too difficult. I haven’t even mastered it myself, and I need to find a way to explain it so children can understand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, most wizards can’t cast the Patronus Charm at all,” Lupin added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next Potions class, Harry also casually asked Professor Flitwick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, the Patronus Charm is an extremely advanced magic—so advanced you could call it a philosophy, even a way of life,” Professor Flitwick explained. “The key lies in fully mobilizing your inner strength, recognizing the connection between your emotions and the world—you wish to be happy, so you try to make the world around you happy. Your emotions and the world are interdependent; when you alter the world through your perception, you are firmly asserting your existence, and magic greatly strengthens your right to exist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry understood none of it. He now realized this was far more complicated than he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can rest easy—Professor Dumbledore’s Patronus is extremely powerful,” Flitwick said, perhaps mistaking Harry’s concern for Dementors. “He’ll protect everyone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you think we might try learning the Patronus Charm?” he asked cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From my perspective, I believe it’s better suited for Defense Against the Dark Arts,” Flitwick said, puzzled. “But with a new professor every year, that’s… perhaps I should consider adding a section on the Patronus Charm to the seventh-year curriculum.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After asking around, Harry stopped pressing the matter. For now, life at Hogwarts was still safe and enjoyable—no need to pressure himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Saturday, he could do homework with Zhang Qiu, and Wood had already begun actively contacting Madam Hooch to arrange training. On Sunday, Harry planned to visit Hagrid with Ron—or play chess. Rumor had it that starting in November, they could visit Hogsmeade every weekend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned from Hagrid’s, Harry remembered Malfoy’s salon. Ron wasn’t particularly opposed to it, but had no real interest—he planned to practice swordplay with Neville.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Harry entered the familiar empty classroom, he found it completely transformed: old desks and chairs had been removed, replaced by comfortable sofas and tea tables. Crabbe and Goyle were clumsily carrying a massive dessert tray piled high with delicate pastries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, Harry?” Malfoy said, smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. Very much like a salon,” Harry said, sitting down on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, since everyone’s here, let’s speak freely—share interesting things,” Malfoy said, crossing his legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, we’ve made a major discovery,” Cui Ge blurted out. “You know, we’ve been searching for the storage room that Luna described in her dream.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And behind a mirror on the fourth floor, we found a secret passage,” he said, instantly capturing the children’s interest—no one could resist a secret passage. “We’re certain it’s a passage, but it’s blocked—we could only walk a short distance before hitting a wall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point if it’s blocked?” Goel sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, it’s significant—it proves Hogwarts has secret passages,” Luna said. “Cui Ge and I are now trying to find others.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I just remembered something,” Malfoy said. “We all know the Blacks are an ancient noble family, so Black must have attended Hogwarts as a boy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, all British wizards attend Hogwarts,” Pan Xi agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means,” Malfoy leaned forward, his tone turning grave, “when he escaped and shouted ‘He’s at Hogwarts,’ he had a complete plan—how to enter the school, how to find Harry, and how to escape.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He must know more than one secret passage into Hogwarts,” Malfoy said. “Think about how he found them—he must have explored this castle meticulously as a student, knowing every corridor by heart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a suggestion,” Harry said, recalling his Divination results. “Let’s try drawing a map of Hogwarts—mark every secret passage, illusionary walls, even the staircases’ movements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Malfoy agreed. “If Torchwood claims to be Hogwarts’s guardian, it must know Hogwarts inside and out. Harry’s made a constructive suggestion—we could refine it further, like clearly labeling the classrooms used for regular lessons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, as a secret organization,” Cui Ge said, “could we monitor who goes where in the castle? If we could show every student’s movements on the map—when they skipped class, when they sneaked to the kitchen—that’d be awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Would you like that?” Ginny said, annoyed. “Would you like someone casually tracking all your movements—from skipping class to sneaking to the kitchen at midnight?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, then let’s make it real-time,” Cui Ge scratched his head. “So when you want to find someone, you instantly see where they are.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s still hard to implement,” Harry frowned. “It’d require linking the map to Hogwarts’s own protective magic—we can’t cast tracking spells on every student, and new students arrive every year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brilliant, Harry,” Malfoy clapped. “If Hogwarts’s protective enchantments remember every student, that means anyone who ever attended can’t escape its notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! So if Black breaks in, the map will detect him?” Crabbe, unusually following his leader’s logic, said. “Then we can catch him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But even then, we should notify the professors,” Malfoy hadn’t lost his reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the map might have problems,” Ivy said thoughtfully. “If we actually draw such a map, who keeps it? Wouldn’t it be inconvenient to access? And after we graduate, what happens to it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those are all issues,” Ivy said, gesturing. “So I thought of a new idea—let’s build a diorama. Or a scale model—recreate the entire school structure in miniature. Place it somewhere fixed, so everyone can view it anytime, and leave it to future students after we graduate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Torchwood can be passed down—recruit trustworthy first-years to join us,” Cui Ge proposed. “The diorama becomes Torchwood’s shared property, passed on through generations in this school.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s great,” Goel exclaimed. “I suggest we carve our names on it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s too arrogant,” Malfoy said, though he was very pleased—he feigned modesty. “Just use codenames.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To prevent misuse by unwise students, we should set a password,” Pan Xi said. “For example, you must speak the word ‘Torchwood’—I know a few small enchantments for secrecy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good idea,” Ivy said. “I imagine that once the model is complete, only the castle’s exterior is visible. To see the interior, you must cast a spell to make part of the floors invisible. That way, any student can view the diorama—but only Torchwood members can activate the spell to reveal the detailed map.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Imagine,” Luna said, excitedly gesturing in the empty space, “if our Torchwood meeting room had a Hogwarts diorama. How cool would that be!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh right,” Cui Ge said. “If we decide to make this empty classroom our Torchwood meeting place, we should add an illusionary wall to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1420,"2026-06-21T04:54:27.874Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e2976050cf3f7370d0a6945286c5b0a277958e99b2863d3d970abe3ed2bdfd28","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-109","wizard-war-at-hogwarts-chapter-107",528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwizard-war-at-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
