Chapter 196 As the popularity increases, the troubles increase
The second half of the second grade semester has begun.
After Xiwen returned to Hogwarts Castle from the Pig's Head Bar, he resumed his leisurely life of attending classes during the day, practicing spell combinations at night, and petting cats in his free time.
In just over a year, the kitten has grown into a big cat without even realizing it. Xiwen still remembers that when he brought her back from the Magical Creatures Shop, she was only about the same size as one of Xiwen's hands, but now she has become a big thing that needs two hands to easily pick up.
I don’t know if the food given by Xiwen was too good or if she secretly added food while patrolling the territory...
When the kitten was still young, Xiwen and the staff at the Magical Creatures Store thought that she should have the bloodline of a British Shorthair Silver. However, as the kitten grew older, she became less and less like a Silver Shorthair. Instead, she gradually became more and more like a Silver Shorthair. The silver markings faded away, and the hair all over his body became white and soft.
In addition, the kitten is different from those domestic cats who are good at growing cheeks and become round and chubby. Her body is slender and light, and every step she takes reveals a kind of elegance from the inside out.
But all this elegance will be gone when the kitten comes back from playing for a day...
The little naughty cat still likes to have fun in various islands and woods around Hogwarts. Every time he returns to the cat cage, he is dusty, completely changing from a clean white cat to a gray cat.
Xiwen was both fond of her and annoyed at the same time, but he still had to use a cleaning spell to clean her fur seriously every day, then he would hold the naughty kitten in his arms, combing her hair and massaging her head. The kitten enjoys the comfort of the massage, and Xiwen enjoys the joy of petting the cat. It is mutually beneficial and each gets what he needs!
After two peaceful months of focusing on classes, studying and petting cats, Dumbledore happily brought the good news to Sivan - Nagini had also successfully learned Animagus transformation and tamed the Mai in her body. Ledigs Blood Curse.
Nagini's Animagus form is also a viper, very similar to her Meredigos form. In other words, it was the transformation of Meredigos for decades that had a subtle influence on her, and the animal form that best suited her was naturally a viper.
After the two were combined, Nagini's fused form turned into a seven-foot-long viper. Although not as huge as the previous Meredigos form, it was still about twice as long as a normal-sized viper.
This is the second successful case of taming the blood curse besides Xiwen. This case can almost prove that this method of dealing with the blood curse of Meredigos is practical!
After Dumbledore sought Sivan's opinion and understood his thoughts, he and Sivan jointly wrote the two cases and corresponding response methods into an academic paper, which was simultaneously published in "Transfiguration Today" and "Bloodline Wizard" in two magazines.
Once Dumbledore's academic paper was released, it instantly caused a sensation in the wizarding world.
Although the number of wizards in Meredigos is extremely small like that of Animagus, Dumbledore cannot stand it. As the only top wizard who can compete with the Dark Lord Grindelwald, the one chosen by Kirin can lead the wizarding world. The man who is moving forward is so famous!
Moreover, since Dumbledore became the Dean of Gryffindor, he has rarely published academic research articles to the outside world.
But this time, when the situation in all walks of life in the world was gradually becoming tense, he suddenly published a research paper with detailed research and two detailed cases, which shifted the attention of most of the magical world.
What's more, the research content of Dumbledore's thesis this time is still the problem of Meredigos blood curse that wizards have been unable to solve in the past. This paper is not only helpful in solving the problem of Meredigos blood curse, but also It is a great reference for the study of blood magic.
Because of this, as the second author of the paper, Xiwen's popularity has skyrocketed in a short period of time, and the Rozier family's industry has also slightly improved its performance. Because although people in the magic world don't know the wizard named Sivan Rozier, they do know the well-known surname Rozier!
For a period of time after Dumbledore and Sivan's paper was published, many letters, carried by owls, came to Sivan like a tide.
Among them, many well-known scholars expressed their intention for academic exchanges, which made Xiwen very gratified.
However, there were more letters from wizards who wanted to cling to the power of the Rozier family, as well as wizards who were not convinced that Sivan was the second author of Dumbledore's academic paper.
Those wizards either just said some flattering and flattering words and wanted to share some of the Rozier family's dividends; or they thought highly of themselves and felt that the entire magical world should follow their own ideas, regardless of what Xiwen wrote. What's the content? Just pick up a random sentence and scold it.
What's more, there are some "pseudo-experts" who have no ability themselves but are very good at using the fame of others to increase their popularity. They criticized Xiwen's specific analysis using himself as an example. In fact, they wanted to use Xiwen's popularity during this period to increase his presence in the magic world.
After all, those people are bullies and fearless beings. They didn't dare to question Dumbledore at all, they only dared to find fault with the second author. Even if the paper does not clearly define the writing content of the two authors, this is not a problem, as long as Dumbledore is not mentioned!
How can busy people who are busy fighting the Dark Lord have time to pay attention to their doubts about the second author? Even if they paid attention, how could a pure and kind person chosen by Qilin come to trouble them personally?
Xiwen was so annoyed by these messy letters that he even wanted to ignore the wishes of those knowledgeable experts and scholars to communicate and directly hide himself with a shielding spell to prevent owls from finding him.
The first author of the paper, Dumbledore, discovered Sivan's troubles in time. So he called Xiwen to the office of the director of the Transfiguration Department and had a long talk with Xiwen.
"Xiwen, did I put your name as the second author? Did it cause you a lot of trouble?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.
"It's not that troublesome." Xiwen was a little exhausted mentally and physically due to being disturbed by various letters during this period. He forced a smile and shook his head.
"I am grateful that you are willing to put me in the second author's position! Just because of this paper, many knowledgeable seniors in the magic world are willing to mention me, so I am actually very happy."
"It's just a bit difficult to find the letters from the old-timers among the mess of letters, and their speeches are really annoying..."
"Actually, I have encountered this situation before." Dumbledore patted Sivan on the shoulder and said sincerely. "It may not be as serious as yours this time, but I did publish some articles while I was in school and gained a certain degree of popularity."
"Just because of my popularity, I have also encountered criticism and doubts."
Dumbledore showed some nostalgia and said with a smile. In his eyes, those criticisms and doubts seemed to be no worries at all.
"So, how did you solve it?" Xiwen couldn't help but ask.
Dumbledore showed an inscrutable smile and raised the corners of his mouth——
"Of course it can be solved with strength!"
