Chapter 470 Summer Camp
Robert discovered that many children from wizarding families like the Snorlax.
This also proves from the side that "The Quibbler" is actually a best-selling magazine, and the story of the Bent-Horned Snorlax is even more well-known as a perennial serialized story.
Legend has it that deep in the pine forest, there lives a group of mink-like creatures with curved horns on their heads. They are very fast and have great energy. Humans cannot catch their whereabouts at all. When they fall asleep, it snows heavily throughout the forest. And when they wake up, spring will come.
Luna shared her experience in Sweden with Cedric and told him about meeting a friend.
"I met a friend who also likes magical creatures. His name is Rolf Scamander." As she spoke, Luna took out a photo, which was a photo of two young people, one black and one white.
The white one is of course Luna, and the black one... is Rolf. He is the grandson of Newt Scamander, the author of the popular Hogwarts textbook "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them".
"A face I haven't seen before... um... he doesn't go to Hogwarts?" Cedric looked at Luna in confusion.
"He went to school at the Ouagadu Magic Academy." Luna explained. "According to him, his father studied rune snakes in Burkina Faso... This is a magical creature that his grandfather and father loved the most. , so their family is all in Africa."
Cedric was a little confused, "Wagadu?"
"Wandless casting!" Robert gestured, "Absolute expert!"
Cedric's eyes lit up, "Oh oh oh! That's the school that can light a fire without a wand!"
"???" Robert asked a black man, what kind of impression is this?
Unlike the wizards of the Corrupt Kingdom who need a wand to cast spells, and unlike the magic that requires chanting to cast spells, Wagadu is the absolute authority in the field of wandless spellcasting.
If you want to enter Wagadu to learn magic, you need to enter a dreamland. The messenger leaves a stone with an inscription for the children who can come to school. Taking this stone, he goes to Kampala, the capital of Uganda, and rides a carriage to the moon there. Mountain.
And Wagadu is on the misty Moon Mountain.
"It would be great if I could learn Wagadu's wandless spellcasting." Cedric said enviously, "That's a skill that allows you to use magic even after the wand is lost!"
Robert also wanted to learn this technique. After all, with the Expelliarmus spell, the wand was still easy to lose.
"I heard that there were exchanges between schools in the past." Luna said, "At that time, you could learn the magic of other schools, as long as you could understand what they said."
"Is it gone now?" Cedric asked hopefully, "If you can go..."
"It's not impossible." Suddenly, an older female voice sounded, "But I don't know if you will be in the mood to study then..."
The three little wizards froze, turned their heads tremblingly, and saw the familiar face of Mrs. Pince.
However, Mrs. Pince seemed to be in a good mood. She did not care about their nonsense in the library, but continued, "Your principal seems to be planning to organize a... um... summer camp exchange event with other magic schools?"
"???" A series of question marks popped up on the heads of the little wizards.
"It is very similar to the previous college exchange activities, but this is an activity for the students, and the professors do not interfere." Mrs. Pince explained.
The little wizards looked at each other.
"That is to say..." Robert rubbed his chin, "We can ask those sixth graders about the techniques of wandless casting..."
"Why not seventh graders?" Cedric said enthusiastically, "They must be more powerful, right?"
Luna turned to look at him, "Because the seventh graders graduate during the summer vacation, they have to find jobs, unless someone gets a job within the school and stays."
"Then the only problem is the language barrier." Robert thought for a while, "They...should be able to speak English, right?"
Luna explains, “The official languages are English and Swahili, but the locals, especially in Kampala, they speak Luganda.”
"Very good." Cedric lost strength in an instant, "I don't have to go."
Robert shrugged, "Well, why don't you learn a little bit of their language while there are still a few months left?"
Cedric looked desperate, "You overestimate my language learning ability, and there are still exams."
"Since there is an exam..." Mrs. Pingsi's sinister voice sounded behind her, "How about you go back to your common room and review carefully?"
The little wizards all shook again.
Oops, I forgot there was someone behind me!
"Hagrid! Hagrid!" Harry slapped the door of Hagrid's cabin "bang bang bang bang", but as if to avoid it, Hagrid had no intention of coming out to open the door for him.
Ron shrugged, "He's not here."
Harry shook his head and said firmly, "He must be at home! He just doesn't want to see us!" After that, he knocked on the door again and shouted, "Hagrid, I know you are in there, you must be hiding there. Watching us from behind the curtain!”
Hermione also started shouting, "Hagrid! You need our help! We know that Buckbeak is going to be executed and it makes you sad, but there is no use running away! Let's find a way to save Buckbeak together!"
The room was still quiet.
The three of them waited at the door for a long time, but still no one came to open the door.
"Okay, I said that's enough for you two, right?" Ron said impatiently, "He is either not at home, or he feels that he does not need our help. There is no need to knock on the door like a fool here."
"That's enough Ron!" Harry was really angry now. "This is a very important matter! A life is about to disappear in front of our eyes, can't you have some sympathy?"
Ron's eyes widened and he looked at Harry in disbelief, "Why should I feel sympathy for a beast? Do you also feel sympathy for the chicken that is eaten in your stomach when you are eating chicken legs? "
Harry retorted, "That's not a beast! It's Buckbeak! Can't you respect him a little?"
"You use it yourself!" Ron shouted, "Do you understand? You subconsciously regard it as a beast! But you want me to regard it as your friend? Harry, what on earth are you thinking! "
Harry opened his mouth, unable to say anything to refute.
"I think you two are just attracting other people's attention." Ron said expressionlessly, "Because no one cares about the life and death of a Hippogriff, but you two have to act like you take it very seriously. It looks like this, do you think it will attract the attention of other wizards? What a joke! Why should I waste my energy on a creature that may attack me? That is not our family pet, it is just a beast!"
