Chapter 105 A harmless little curse (second update)
It is indeed a very punishing act to bring magical animals to the Muggle world.
Especially unicorns... magical animals among magical animals, they will even go through the Azkaban admissions procedures and enjoy one-on-one tutoring from the silver-medal master Dementor.
What? You ask the gold medal master?
Of course that was Voldemort who gave Mr. Potter one-on-one tutoring at the end of last semester.
It's fine if you bring a small creature like Xiu Xiu with you. After all, Xiu Xiu looks like a big mouse and is easy to carry... He just has some innocuous little problems, such as liking to collect gold bars on the dock.
But unicorns—a little too eye-catching.
"Of course, you were attacked by Voldemort a while ago." Harry said worriedly, "Do you still remember what Professor Haoying said? You are not afraid of thieves stealing, but you are afraid of being noticed - you are now being targeted by Voldemort. I really doubt when he will reach into the Forbidden Forest and attack you. He escaped from the dungeon..."
Pabby thought for a moment, and what Harry said made sense.
If Voldemort targets her again, it will be difficult to escape without Harry's help this time...
This Voldemort...is indeed not a human being.
Ah, it’s not my fault. Who would have thought that the despicable and shameless Voldemort would ambush me in the dark and sneak up on me? I'm over a hundred years old! she thought.
Thinking about it this way, Pappy felt that she should indeed go with Harry.
"Then I can't follow you outside, right?" Pappy was a little worried: "If you are caught by the Ministry of Magic, you will have to go to the Wizengamot Court - buying and selling unicorns, this is a big crime. Oh.”
"The box with the Seamless Stretch Charm." Harry patted the suitcase, "I believe you won't eat all my books."
"Ah! You!" Pappy grabbed Harry's clothes and shook them around angrily: "Harry~Harry~what do you think I am!"
"But..."
Pappy added, and when she shook her head, the horns on her head disappeared.
"I can hide it."
"Cool." Harry touched Pappy's head in surprise: "Hey, it's really gone. How did you do it?"
"I won't tell you," Pappy said softly.
"Okay." Harry opened the suitcase, "How about... you jump in first?"
"No one noticed, right?" Pabbi said in a long voice and looked behind Harry.
After seeing that no one was there, Pappy jumped up and jumped into the suitcase.
"Change me a lamp!" Pappy shouted from the suitcase.
Harry waved his wand and conjured a bright light for Pappy, which he stuffed into the suitcase.
"Let's go," Harry said, "I'll take you away first..."
He closed his suitcase and slipped all the way to Hogwarts Castle.
Neville had been looking for his toad since he left - thank God, all the Gryffindor classmates were helping him find it, searching the entire castle, and finally found it in the corner of the girls' bathroom. Found the toad.
Notices were sent to every student, warning them not to use magic during the holidays.
"I actually always hoped they would forget to send this thing to us." Fred and George said in unison, looking very regretful.
For the first time, Hermione agreed with what they both said.
"I think so. Not using magic spells at home for a long time will lead to unfamiliarity." Hermione put the notification letter under the plate: "I think I should talk to the principal about this situation..."
< br>
"It's Ministry of Magic rules, Hermione," said George.
"Then report this situation to the Minister of Magic." Hermione said again.
"I don't think those old stubborns in the Ministry of Magic can listen to you, Miss Know-It-All." Fred chuckled: "I think the probability of you becoming the Minister of Magic is higher than the probability of the Minister of Magic listening to your opinions. Big.”
Hermione rolled her eyes at the two of them, these two twins just loved to joke around.
I?
Minister for Magic?
No kidding.
I am just a witch from a Muggle family. Those wizards who advocate pure blood will not allow a Muggle to be the Minister of Magic.
After having breakfast in the auditorium, the students at Hogwarts also set out on their way home.
Hagrid was still responsible for escorting the students to the fleet anchored on the lake. When Harry passed by him, he also gave Harry a bag of berries picked from the Forbidden Forest.
"Thank you, Hagrid," Harry said happily.
"Share with your friends." Hagrid said with a smile, "If you need rock biscuits, or ferret sandwiches..."
"If we don't have Hagrid, we all have packed lunches," Ron said quickly.
He was really afraid of the texture of rock biscuits and the hellish taste of ferret sandwiches.
God knows why this big guy likes Hagrid so much likes to cook dark cuisine?
"Remember to write to me, Harry." Hagrid waved to them: "And you guys."
"We will." Ron smiled and waved goodbye to Hagrid.
After getting on the train, Harry, Ron and Hermione found an empty compartment.
Neville and Seamus were picked up early by their parents, so they did not take the Hogwarts Express.
This car is said to be an express car, but in fact the speed is...well...
The last time the speed was increased, Mr. Septimus Malfoy generously donated money to upgrade the train's operating system.
"Time flies so fast." Ron said with emotion, "You know, this feeling is really unreal, but it is also very relaxing - my God."
"What you should know is, Ron." Hermione kindly reminded: "Professor Snape and Professor Binns gave us summer homework - my God, a whole eleven-inch long paper, I didn't even know what to do. How to write..."
"It's only eleven inches." Ron said nonchalantly: "You only need to write the words larger and the line spacing and letter spacing wider, so can't you use the least number of words to meet the eleven inches length? ”
"Oh, thank you Ronald." Hermione rolled her eyes: "You don't think Professor Snape is an idiot and don't know your little cleverness, do you?"
"Professor Snape may not be sure, but Professor Binns is definitely not smart." Ron said with a smile: "I bet that even if Professor Binns collects these assignments, he won't correct them, because he can't touch them at all. Homework!”
The joke was a little too hellish, so much so that Hermione laughed sadly for a moment.
"I think——"
Before Ron could finish his words, there was a knock on the door of the box.
"Come in," Hermione said.
The door to the box was opened, and standing at the door was a Hufflepuff boy.
"Oh, Cedric," Harry greeted him. "Harry, Ron, Hermione." Cedric smiled brightly. He was not reserved at all. He looked at the three little ones and asked, "Can I sit here?"
"Of course." They said together.
Cedric sat next to Harry, looked at Harry and said, "Actually, Harry, I have something to ask you for."
"What's the matter?" Harry opened a bag of Bibi's multi-flavor beans, took out a brown one, handed it to Cedric, and asked him to take out a piece and try it too.
Cedric took out a fiery red piece, looked at it in his hand, and said, "I...well, I heard that you formed a dueling club in Gryffindor? Is that so?"
< br>
"That's right." Harry put the braised beans in his mouth and sipped lightly.
It's chocolate flavored and delicious.
"Oh, that's right." Cedric also ate the jelly bean, only to reveal a mask of pain and his handsome face turned red.
Ron lowered his head and chuckled, feeling a little gloating about his misfortune.
Hermione nudged him gently, telling him not to be so obvious.
"Chili pepper," Cedric sniffed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Harry took the unopened Coke on the table and handed it to Cedric. Cedric took the Coke, opened it with a pop, and took two gulps to get rid of the spicy feeling.
"Okay, I have to admit that Muggle drinks are still very magical - look at the bubbles?" Cedric sighed with emotion, and then said: "That's right, I want to ask you, can you let Hutch Patch’s classmates also joined your duel club.”
"No problem." Harry did not refuse to accept some Hufflepuff classmates: "But there is one thing, don't let the professor know - because the dueling club will practice some harmless little curses with each other."
< br>
Hermione's eyes widened at the "harmless little hex".
Oh my God! Are you really going to teach that stuff in a duel hut? !
Poor Cedric hadn't realized what Harry meant yet, and a delighted smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Thank you, Harry, thank you." He said: "I can't believe you can accept my request - you know, there were many people who didn't believe my judgment before I came. They thought you didn't Students from other colleges will be accepted.”
Harry smiled.
"We are both students at Hogwarts, Seid—can I call you that?"
"Of course, Harry." Cedric said even more happily, "I think if it's a duel, practicing some harmless little curses is really not a big deal. After all, if you don't understand them, how can you make better countermeasures?" What about control? What's more, we also need some useful spells to fight against the bad guys in the wizard."
"Of course." Harry said with a smile, "As you said, the purpose of our duel cabin is to make students understand the dangers of society."
"Okay, Harry, thank you." Cedric stood up: "I think I should go, they are still waiting for me to go back and notify the results."
"Okay, bye, Ced." Harry smiled and nodded.
Ron and Hermione said goodbye to Cedric together. The sunny and cheerful boy said goodbye to them one by one, turned and left the box.
By the time Cedric closed the door, Hermione couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Oh my God! Harry, are you really going to teach us that... that curse?"
"What are you excited about, Hermione?" Harry gave Hermione a strange look.
"Am I excited?" Hermione slapped her thigh: "No, Harry, I still want to correct you, don't let your thoughts be led astray by some families..."
Certain families?
Harry thought that he must be talking about the Gaunt family.
"You're wrong Hermione, it's really just a harmless little curse." Harry smiled and said to Hermione, "Don't always think divergently."
"Oh? Oh!" Hermione was stunned, and then she understood what Harry meant.
"It turned out to be a harmless little curse. I thought it was..." Hermione thought for a long time, gesturing in the air with her fingers, but did not dare to say those few spells, "...well."
< br>
"The Imperius Curse?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him: "Do you have to say this spell, Potter?"
"This is exactly part of my study plan." Harry said to Hermione: "The Imperius Curse... is the course you will learn in the next stage."
Hermione froze, and the licorice wand in her hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"No, what did you say?" she asked in disbelief.
"The Imperius Curse is our next learning goal." Ron repeated it nonchalantly: "If I heard correctly."
Hey, study, what is studying but not studying?
Ron had already looked away, and it was right to follow Harry's progress - after all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor and the mysterious man couldn't defeat him, right?
"If we learn this spell, won't we be arrested by the Ministry of Magic?" Hermione said with some despair: "Oh my God, if anyone finds out, we may be expelled..."
"As long as you don't get caught, it will be fine." Harry crossed his legs and said to Hermione: "This curse is quite special. Hermione, you have to know that being cursed many times will have a negative impact on this curse. Regarding resistance, I am not trying to make you master the spell itself, but to hone your will and make you resistant to this spell.”
You see, this is the art of speaking.
After hearing what Harry said, Hermione felt that learning this little spell was not so difficult to accept.
"Well, if that's the case, I think we should try to practice." Hermione said, "After all, dark wizards won't reason with us, right? Ron?"
"Yes." Ron nodded crisply.
Seeing that the train was about to arrive at the platform, Harry and the others also changed their clothes.
Finally, the train slowly stopped at platform nine and three-quarters.
The exit speed was very slow and it took them a long time to queue up and get out of the platform.
A wizened old guard stood guard at the ticket gate, and only two or three people were allowed through at a time, so that they wouldn't attract the attention of the Muggles by a large number of people entering and exiting the solid walls at the same time.
"You must come to my house to play this summer, Harry." Ron invited Harry: "You don't know, my mother has been talking about you..."
"Okay, no problem."
Harry patted Ron on the arm, which had been part of his schedule.
"When I finish what I'm doing, I'll be a guest at your home."
When leaving the station, Harry also saw Mrs. Weasley, who was picking up Ron, the Geminis and Percy with their young daughter Ginny.
Harry expressed his sincere gratitude for her Christmas gift and once again agreed to the invitation to go to the Weasley family during the summer vacation.
When he walked out of the platform, he took a deep breath.
Well...
Next stop, should we go to the Leaky Cauldron?
No, you should go to Knockturn Alley to stock up - how can you practice a harmless little spell without a second wand?
