Chapter 215 Night Tour
After the Chamber of Secrets incident ended, Locke also refocused on magic exercises. Recently, he was studying the ingestion of divine thoughts.

This magic is suspicious of accepting other people's thoughts. In fact, it is mind reading. It is not too difficult to learn it, but it is not so easy to apply it proficiently and prevent yourself from being affected.

If there is not enough proficiency, once the effect of the spell is activated, all the inner voices around will rush into the caster's head.

With so many inner voices appearing directly in the mind, it is easy to make the caster's thinking confused or even crazy. Only after rigorous training and trying can he be able to selectively listen to the target's inner voice, while automatically blocking other voices.

Therefore, when using the spell, someone needs to cooperate with training.

After Hermione knew about this, she originally wanted to volunteer to be a training partner, but Locke refused because she would be very busy next time—the exam was about to start.

Hermione signed up for a total of twelve courses, including seven compulsory courses and five elective courses, and a total of twelve exams. Not to mention the preparation time, even the exam would take four full days.

After the exam was over, the results were announced. To Locke's surprise, Hermione got all O's, which surprised Locke slightly.

Hermione has a good talent in learning, and she is willing to work hard, but Locke also knows her strength. It is not surprising that most of the courses get the best evaluation, but it is like divination class, Hermione can only say yes qualified.

Locke congratulated Hermione here, but his thoughts turned in his mind, and finally he looked at Dumbledore who was giving the final speech on the stage.

As if he had noticed Locke's gaze, Dumbledore looked at the report card in Locke's hand, and Hermione who was beside him, and nodded his head imperceptibly, making it clear to Locke that Hermione was to some extent The back door has been opened.

Smiling slightly, Locke didn't tell the elated Hermione about it, but just praised her and asked her to continue working hard in the future.

In addition, Harry and Ron received the 'Special Contribution Award from the Academy' for eliminating the basilisk, and became the focus of many people's attention.

In the semester that just ended, Harry's experience can be regarded as ups and downs. Now that all the hardships have come, he naturally wants to enjoy his own moment of glory.

During the holidays, Locke Hermione also became the experimental target for Locke to practice absorbing divine thoughts. Practicing this spell requires a relatively closed environment, so as to avoid receiving too much information when using the spell for the first time.

But at the same time, it is not possible to practice with only one person, because if you do this, you will not be able to shield other inner beings and only absorb the inner voice of the target.

In addition to Hermione, he had two of his house-elves join in, and even played some taped conversations to distract his thoughts.

For ordinary people, this is a difficult process, but for Locke, who has a super high IQ, it only needs a little adaptation.

It's as if Sheldon has six personalities, and the personalities in his brain will have meetings and quarrels when he's okay, so the amount of information is relatively easy for Locke, and it won't be stressful.

It takes him more practice to distinguish the read voice from the outside voice or even the voice of speech, and choose to receive the information he needs to receive.

This process took Locke about more than a day. After hearing about this, Dumbledore, who was the master of absorbing spiritual thoughts, even couldn't believe it.

"Teacher, have you heard of Time Turner?" Hermione said to Locke when school was about to start:

"Every time the chronograph rotates, you can go back to the time and space of the past hour, and use it to perform all activities except changing history.

If such a magical thing is used for studying, it can save a lot of extra time and learn more knowledge. I want to apply for one, so that I don’t have to worry about not having enough time for studying. "

"I think it's better to be more cautious about this matter." After hearing this, Locke said, "Have you heard a saying? Those who play with time will eventually be played by time."

It is impossible to say that Locke is not interested in the Time Converter. He even has one in his collection, but he has not used it so far.

Things related to time are too dangerous. Before he has enough ability, Locke is not going to touch time. There are too many examples of misfortune in the heavens because of playing with time.

After hearing Locke's words, Hermione was a little unconvinced. She felt that so many people had used it before, and she didn't see any problems with it. However, because of Locke's strict prohibition, she still agreed not to use the Time Converter idea anymore. .

As usual, the new school year begins with the encounter of Harry Potter as the protagonist. Sirius escaped from prison, and the Ministry of Magic sent dementors to search for it. One of the dementors couldn't help but attack the school bus. Harry, let him be in a coma for a long time, and also became a topic of gossip for many people.

But this small episode did not affect the annual sorting ceremony. After the sorting, Dumbledore gave a general speech as usual, and then introduced two new professors.

Among them, the new professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is also an old acquaintance of Locke, that is, Lupine the werewolf, and Hagrid is also assigned to be in charge of the Protection of Magical Creatures class.

After the Chamber of Secrets incident, Lucius was kicked out of the school board, and Dumbledore's influence on the school increased a lot, so Lupine and Hagrid could be arranged to become professors at Hogwarts, and Locke even made a move behind his back. force.

Because of Lockhart's aftermath, many students questioned Lupine's true strength and took an observation attitude, but they were soon attracted by Dumbledore's final announcement.

The main reason is that the Ministry of Magic arranged for the dementors from Azkaban to enter the academy until they caught Sirius, and comforted many students, saying that the Ministry of Magic has guaranteed that the dementors will not interfere with everyone's normal life.

Of course, there was a warning at the end, telling the students not to get close to the dementors, and it also cast a shadow on the minds of many students as soon as they started school.

After the opening ceremony was over, Hermione found Locke: "Teacher, can you give me the key to the library?"

"No problem." Locke said, took out a key and put it in Hermione's hand, and explained:

"I don't tell you that you must not read books in the restricted area, but your foundation is not particularly solid now, so don't learn too complicated or dangerous magic. It is best to tell me in advance what you want to read, and I will help you. check.

In addition, the library has anti-spell and protection weeks set up by me. If you are caught during a night tour, just say you came to me. "

"I don't know how to swim at night!" Hermione retorted with a red face, but her tone was relatively low, which made her words unconvincing. Obviously Locke knew Hermione very well, and she must have done this kind of thing.

Even so, Hermione carefully put the key away.
