Soon, another school year passed. Everyone else went back for the holidays, but Aili did not enjoy it so well. In fact, she was invited by her "superior" to a secret military stronghold, where she taught some soldiers about magic and knowledge.
From this, Aili could see that the other party had already begun to plan. She was also curious about how powerful modern technology was against magic, so she was willing to cooperate with the other party to conduct a series of experiments.
As for the results... there were good and bad.
According to Aili's analysis, the curses in the Harry Potter world could be divided into two categories.
Those that affected the environment and those that affected a person.
The concept of a curse that affected a person was very clear. It was a curse that targeted the target, from the Mind Snatching Curse to the Amnesia Curse to the Avada Demand. The effect of these curses was very clear and difficult to resist, but the problem was that the target and range were extremely limited. They basically only affected one target, and the range was very short, not much longer than a pistol.
As for the spells that affected the environment, they were more harmful, such as Flying Sand and Stones, Thunderbolt Explosion, Muggle Shielding and so on. Basically, this was the reason why wizards were a threat to ordinary people. The number of people killed by the Avada Demand was probably less than the number of people killed by collapsing houses and sinking lands.
Of course, for the higher-ups, the most dangerous thing about wizards was not these curses, but the curses that directly affected the mind. For example, the Mind Snatching Curse, the Mind Snatching Curse, the Confusion Curse and the Soul Ejection Curse of the three Unforgivable Curses. Imagine if a wizard used the Soul Ejection Curse to control a high-ranking official, the Prime Minister or the Queen.... that would be really troublesome!
In contrast, the Avada Demand and the Heart Gouging Curse were not at all worried or concerned.... After all, humans had plenty of ways to kill people, so it did not matter if there were more or less of them.
The final results of the test were both good and bad. On one hand, it was confirmed that although wizards were powerful, they had no reaction or resistance to long-range attacks. In a mid-range battle, regular wizards could use some spells that could affect the environment to attack the soldiers. Of course, if there were too many of them, they would not be able to do anything. However, if it was just a small team, it would not be a problem.
As for close combat, wizards who could get soldiers close to them had better die somewhere.
On the other hand, stun grenades, flash grenades, tear gas grenades, and other weapons that affected the human body's senses had a more obvious effect on wizards. The most troublesome thing about wizards was that they needed to wave their wands and chant incantations to cast spells. Except for a few particularly powerful wizards like Dumbledore, other wizards could not escape this law. Therefore, if one wanted to fight a wizard, one should try to focus on how to stop the other party from chanting and waving their wands instead of fighting head-on.
Of course, if that didn't work, using poison gas bombs was also an option.
As for the wizard's most famous defensive magic armor, after Alice's tests, she found out that the armor released by a wizard could block bullets from handguns and assault rifles. However, if the opponent was using a Gatling gun or a vulcan cannon, then the only thing that awaited them was to be turned into minced meat.
As for the power of missiles … Alice could not say for sure. Although the missiles themselves were indeed powerful, their targets were also very obvious. Once a wizard saw a missile, they might just fly over and wave their wands at the missile, turning it into a flying whale.
In contrast, rocket bombardment was more suitable to deal with a group attack of wizards.
Other than that, there were also thermobaric bombs … .white phosphorus bombs ….
Thinking about it this way, there were quite a number of weapons that could kill wizards.
Just like that, Alice spent a busy summer in the secret base. Until one day, her owl brought her a copy of the Prophet's Daily. When she saw the Dark Devil logo and the Quidditch World Cup incident, Alice raised her eyebrows.
It seemed that Voldemort had successfully resurrected. Congratulations.
To Alice, Voldemort's resurrection and the Death Eaters' actions were a good thing. This would only push more Muggle wizards to their side. The Ministry of Magic could not do anything in this regard, and they could not rely on the Death Eaters, so they could only rely on the government.
Ailey shared this news with her 'superiors', and it was obvious that they were quite concerned about it. Of course, out of their usual vigilance and caution towards wizards, they never met Ailey face to face. It was not because they were wary of Ailey, but because they were worried about other wizards. After all, according to Alice, those wizards could easily erase their memories with a wave of their wands, turning them into idiots or lackeys at their mercy.
But this did not mean that they had no way of contacting those wizards. Humans had lived for a long time, and their reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance technology was very advanced. Unlike wizards, they could obtain information, intelligence and contact anyone without leaving their homes.
At least, they did not need an owl.
This year, Alice returned to Hogwarts earlier than usual. There was only one reason for her early return ….
"Please explain to me why I have to temporarily give up my position as a Defense Against Dark Magic teacher."
Alice slapped the letter in front of Dumbledore without the slightest courtesy.
"Oh, Miss Alice, please don't be so agitated."
Dumbledore smiled bitterly as he looked at the letter in front of him.
"You see, I think you also know that because Professor Lupin's identity as a werewolf was exposed, we had no choice but to let him leave Hogwarts."
"What does this have to do with me? If anything, it's your relationship ….. including Sirius Black. "
Alice stared at Dumbledore, her bright red eyes filled with an icy chill.
"But we currently do not have a qualified teacher for the Protection of Magical Beasts class. I found someone to help, but he is better at Defense Against Dark Magic ….. So I hope you can let him teach you for the time being. You will return to your position as a Defense Against Dark Magic teacher next year."
"… ….."
Hearing this, Alice was silent for a moment. Strictly speaking, she did not want Dumbledore to succeed. But Alice knew that the Defense Against Dark Magic teacher this time was Mad-Eye Moody. In fact, he was a fake Death Eater who played a very important role in the complete resurrection of Voldemort.
After all, if he did not become a Defense Against Dark Magic teacher, he would not be able to get close to the trophy of the Triwizard Tournament. He would not be able to turn it into a key, and he would not be able to teleport Harry Potter to another place, and he would not be able to completely resurrect Voldemort …..
"Alright, just this year."
Thinking of this, Alice quickly made a decision.
"But I have a condition ….. I can teach the Protection of Magical Beasts class however I want, right?"
"This ….. Of course."
Hearing Alice's question, Dumbledore seemed a little uneasy, but he still nodded in the end.
"You can do it however you want."
That's good.
Soon after, the students once again welcomed the opening ceremony. During the ceremony, Dumbledore introduced that Alice would be transferred to the Protection of Magical Beasts class as a teacher this year, and that Mad-Eye Moody would replace her as the Defense Against Dark Magic teacher.
This instantly aroused the dissatisfaction and confusion of many students. They were also very curious as to why Aili was transferred to this position. After all, no matter what, a beautiful and cute girl was much better than a scary man with a limp and fake eye.
But soon, the students' doubts were interrupted by Dumbledore's second announcement – the reopening of the Triwizard Tournament. This was a tournament for the three schools to compete against each other for the championship. It was previously suspended due to too many casualties, but this year, for some unknown reason, the Triwizard Tournament was held again.
If not for the fact that the Triwizard Tournament only allowed students above the age of 17 to participate, perhaps most students would have signed up by now.
For the students, the Triwizard Tournament was naturally the center of their discussion. But apart from that, there was another topic.
That was ….. what kind of protection of magical beasts would Teacher Alice teach them?
With anticipation, Harry, Ron, Hermione and the others arrived at the Magical Beasts Protection class the next day. But to their surprise, when they arrived at the destination, they only saw a boiling cauldron and a cage beside it. An alluring aroma wafted out from the cauldron. Almost all the students couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the aroma inside.
"I really don't know what kind of magical beast would eat that."
Ron also whispered in Harry's ear at this moment.
"Harry, do you know? I really want to taste what's cooking in that cauldron. I feel like I'm drooling! "
"Teacher Alice, what are we going to learn today?"
Because she was more familiar with Alice, Hermione also asked curiously. The others also showed some anticipation and uneasiness in their eyes.
However, after hearing Hermione's question, Alice just narrowed her eyes, glanced at her, and then retracted her gaze.
"I heard about the Magical Beasts Protection class two years ago. I think it's impossible to understand these animals simply by interacting with them, so ….."
As she spoke, Allie walked to the front of the cage and lifted the cloth covering it, revealing a large group of silly, eccentric birds in front of everyone.
"Today, we're going to learn the habits of the Scottish Round-Faced Plump Chicken, and ….. how to cook it."
"….."
Meow meow meow?
At this moment, all the students were stunned.
