Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

In addition to Neville who would be torn to pieces, another Gryffindor student also caught Lupin's attention.

That's Mikel!

He can also be shattered to pieces, and the movements he performs are very similar to Neville's, but the power he exerts is obviously much stronger than Neville's.

In this moment of being shattered to pieces, Lupin actually felt a trace of the power of dark magic.

He was certain that this spell had been modified by someone and was more inclined towards explosive attacks.

Sacrificing stability in pursuit of greater power is not what a normal spell should be like.

In addition to these two little wizards, other little wizards also opened Lupin's eyes.

The attack spell Hermione usually likes to use is Blazing Fire, which is a high-level spell with high lethality.

Although Hermione was not able to make the spell work properly yet, it already looked pretty good.

The attack spell that Lin Xia used was the left-right separation. This spell was very similar to the split into four pieces and had the same effect.

If you insist on telling the difference.

That is, "shattered into pieces" will cause an object to explode into pieces, while "left-right separation" will cause the object to separate symmetrically on the left and right.

Draco used the spell "vanish into thin air". When the red hat was hit by this spell, it would suddenly float into the air and then gradually disappear.

Harry used the Petrification Charm, and judging from the way he cast the spell, he was quite proficient in it.

Ron, on the other hand, was completely incomprehensible to Lupin.

According to his casting gesture, he should have used the "Danger Ray".

But for some reason, the spell that fell on the red hat broke into pieces.

Apart from the attack spells used by these little wizards, which are far beyond what ordinary little wizards can master, the other little wizards are relatively normal and use spells in a standard way.

Lupin roughly understood the level of these young wizards, and he planned to take some time later to strengthen their offensive spells.

It is not required that every young wizard can learn more difficult attack spells, but at least they should learn all the common attack spells.

Advanced spells are actually a burden for young wizards.

The more powerful the spell, the greater the burden on the body, and it is very likely that a single cast will drain the wizard's magical power.

Therefore, in some critical moments, ordinary spells are more useful because they can provide continuous output.

For example, when facing the endless stream of dark creatures like the Red Hat, using ordinary attack spells is the best way to conserve your energy.

Professor Lupin gave instructions one by one.

From time to time, he stood behind the little wizards and corrected their posture. His firm gaze infected the little wizards, allowing them to cast spells without hesitation.

"Face it, look it squarely. Although it is ugly, it is not as scary as you imagine."

"Your basics are very good, at least your 'Danger Repeller' is very standard, but you forgot the key to 'Danger Ray'.

I won’t tell you what to do. With your intelligence, you can learn it quickly by just asking your classmates after class. I look forward to your performance in the next class.”

"Very good, keep your eyes firm and clear your mind of distractions. You have killed the Red Hat."

……

The melodious bell rang, and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class officially ended.

The little wizards walked out of the classroom with excitement on their faces.

Their idea was correct, Professor Lupin's class was indeed very interesting!
"He and Professor Snape must be sworn enemies. No professor dares to challenge another professor openly.

Even when Lockhart was there, Snape never said anything bad about Lockhart in class!"

"I don't care whether he has grudges with other professors. I just think he can teach students. I think this kind of Defense Against the Dark Arts class is interesting to learn."

"Haha, it turns out that the reason why I couldn't learn well before was not because of me, but because of the professor."

While this group of little wizards were chattering, Neville and Mikel had an argument in the crowd of Gryffindor College.

As soon as the get out of class was over, Mikel came to Neville and chattered:

"If I hadn't forced you to practice spells these past few days, you wouldn't have been able to perform Shattered to Pieces so successfully. Neville, don't forget my help.

However, there is still a problem with your Shattering into Pieces skill. It is not powerful enough. But I can be sure that your magic power is enough to support the Shattering into Pieces skill that I taught you.

So you still have to study hard, let’s go back to the dormitory and practice 100 more times…”

Ever since Mikel discovered that the conciliatory policy didn't work on Neville, he switched to an iron-blooded approach.

Just follow Lin Xia's lead and tell Neville what to do.

During this process, Neville only needs to be an executor and does not need to think.

Anyway, by following his pace, Mikel is confident that Neville can make a comeback in one fell swoop.

By then, wouldn't it be easy to gain Neville's favor?
Mikel was thinking this in his mind when he was suddenly stunned. The system in his mind sent out a prompt.

[Neville Longbottom's favorability towards you is gradually decreasing]

[Warning, the favorability has reached a dangerous edge and is about to fall out of the "friend" category]

[Warning, once you fall out of the friend category, the difficulty of the goods favorability will increase again]

Mikel was speechless for a while.

No, for whom is he teaching Neville so attentively?

It's obviously for Neville's own good!
Why is it that when Lin Xia does this, Neville doesn't mind, but when he does this, Neville feels disgusted with him?
Mikkel couldn't help but look up at Neville.

He had his head lowered, his face was a little pale, and he looked taciturn.

Thinking about it carefully, Neville seemed to have not taken the initiative to talk to him in this period of time.

Ron and the others just happened to pass by Mikel and the others. Ron muttered quietly, "I don't know if you treat him as a friend or as his mother."

Harry: "That's a bit too much."

Hermione: "Well, I think the method he used is a bit wrong. I take back what I said this morning."

Lin Xia: "Everyone should have his own independent will, and should respect other people's decisions instead of rejecting everything they do."

Draco: "Haha, just a joke."

Mikel frowned. Although these people spoke softly, their words were clearly heard by him.

I always feel like they have something else to say and I can't figure out what they are talking about.

Mikel looked at Neville again, was silent for a while, and asked, "Neville, do you dislike my teachings to you?"

Neville still didn't speak.

Mikel: "If you really regard me as your friend, you should tell me what's in your heart instead of just doing what I say."

Neville finally spoke at this time, whispering: "I'm not."

"What?" Mikel asked.

Neville mustered up the courage to say, "It's not your teaching that allowed me to use the Shattered Bones skill. Professor Lupin said that it was because I had enough faith in my heart that I was able to perform it successfully."

He said word by word: "Can you please stop taking all the credit for yourself? You are denying all my efforts."...

After Professor Lupin finished his class, he went straight to the basement of Hogwarts. The Potions Professor's office was on the -1 floor.

He had to get stabilizing potions from Snape twice a month.

If Snape was the only one to deliver it, he would definitely be able to delay it until the last moment when he would have an attack!
So three or four days before every attack, Professor Lupin would go to urge Snape, and then receive a round of sneers and ridicule from Snape.

Lupin suspected that Snape did this on purpose so that he could find an excuse to ridicule him.

This time, he came to Snape's office again.

He waited outside for a long time before Snape called him in.

As soon as Snape saw him, an expression of disgust immediately appeared on his face, and he said with undisguised disgust:
"Didn't I mention that I would send it to you? Are you so intolerant?

As expected, animals are animals. Even if they become humans, they cannot change their animal nature."

Lupin said indifferently: "If Professor Snape could deliver the potion to me on time, I wouldn't have come to urge you to make it in advance.

If you really don't want to make potions, you can hand this task over to other potion professors. I believe they will be happy to take over this hot potato.

After all, the price I paid was 20% to 30% higher than the market price."

Snape sneered, "They don't have the success rate that I do. If you give it to other professors to refine, you will definitely suffer a loss."

However, he did not mention that he would no longer make potions.

It would be foolish not to make money, not to mention that Lupin did give gold Galleons far exceeding the market price.

Professor Snape saw that Lupin was still standing there, cutting the rhizomes of daffodils impatiently, and said sarcastically:
"I think you should leave. Do you still want to watch me brew potions? It will cost extra money!"

Lupin suddenly smiled.

"No, Professor Snape, I stayed because I wanted to tell you something.

You came to my classroom before and told me that Neville was very difficult to teach, but in the past few days, I let Neville come out first to demonstrate, and he really surprised me."

Before Snape could react, Lupin said quickly, "Beyond my expectations!"

"He is a very good Gryffindor. I see in him the courage to fight. He is also very careful and not reckless at all. He is a man who sticks to his principles."

Professor Lupin said modestly: "Professor Snape, I think you misunderstood Neville before. You may not have discovered the shining point of this student.

If you don't believe me, you are welcome to come to my Defense Against the Dark Arts class again, and I will show you how to teach students correctly."

Snape's face suddenly turned ugly.

He said sarcastically, "I haven't yet reached the point where I need your guidance in teaching. I don't even know if you can finish the semester. If the students find out that you are—"

He suddenly paused and stopped talking. Instead, he said with a fierce look, "Get out of my office right now!"

Professor Lupin left satisfied.

He had tasted the potion that Snape had brewed, and it worked well, but the taste was truly disgusting.

Even he couldn't stand it and was almost fainted by the smell.

He felt that Snape was seeking revenge.

He is capable of doing such a thing!
In that case, don't blame him for being rude.

……

At the same time, in a secluded wooden house.

After waiting for the picture frame for many days, no one opened the box and he became restless again.

Voldemort in the picture frame: "Why didn't she open the box again? Didn't you communicate with her from time to time? It's past the time for you to communicate, right?"

Tom: [It’s only been a month since I opened it. That’s normal. The longest she left me alone was a year.]
This is deliberately exaggerated.

Voldemort in the frame said angrily: "Stupid witch!

Since she has the guidance of the great Voldemort's soul fragment, she should use it frequently instead of leaving it unused!
You said she was a Hufflepuff student, and yes...there are so many idiots in Hufflepuff.

The school should have taken my advice long ago and stopped admitting students with mediocre qualifications. Hogwarts will be even better!"

Tom: [So what are you going to do now?]
Voldemort in the picture frame: "I want to go out, I must go out, this dark place is suffocating me!"

Tom: [To be honest, I feel like the power of this box to confine us is gradually weakening, and I want to open it and get out]
Picture Frame: "Then together?"

Tom: [Okay, let's work together to open it, but I have to say in advance that I am often trapped in this box, and I have lost a lot of my strength. I may not be able to play any role, so please don't look down on me]
Picture Frame: "No, I have long been aware of your incompetence."

But then, the frame felt that it was too early.

How could this diary be so useless!
Why did he feel like he was the one exerting all the effort throughout the whole process?
Where's the diary?

The diary...oh, the diary was also trying hard to use that little bit of strength.

Tsk, so useless. Was he so useless when he was young?
It seems so. He is still a student and has just started practicing soul division... It seems that we should not be too harsh on our young self.

but……

This soft force is still too useless. It is not as good as the power he exerts in one breath!

The box covered with forbidden runes banged around on the wooden table and finally fell to the ground. Even the diary felt the vibration.

It looks like the box is about to be opened!
But when the vibration stabilized, the magic runes on the box flashed, and nothing happened again.

……

After finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, they immediately took Trelawney's Divination class.

Walking into the sky classroom through the narrow stairs, everyone found that the curtains of the classroom had been changed to purple.

The curtains were red before, and the sunlight shining through them gave off a hot and stuffy halo.

But now it has turned purple and the sunlight has decreased, so it’s not stuffy anymore, but instead there’s a purple psychedelic atmosphere.

Especially when the little wizard started flipping through books and checking his painted hands, this purple magical feeling suddenly burst out.

Because Professor Trelawney wanted them to look at the purple mark in the red pigment, and then find the corresponding explanation based on the shape of the mark!
Lin Xia dipped her palms in red paint, opened and closed her hands three times, pointed the magic wand at her hands, and chanted an obscure spell: "See through the future."

Soon.

A purple mark emerged.

There are three small dots, which are positioned like the three vertices of a triangle, and are very square.

I heard the doubtful voices of other little wizards. These little wizards didn't see the purple mark at all. That was because the spells they recited were not correct.

The spell was relatively easy for Hermione.

She recited it half-doubtfully, and soon a purple mark appeared on her palm.

Lin Xia looked and saw that Hermione's mark looked like a group of scattered clouds.

Hermione also saw her mark, and suddenly thought of something, and immediately opened the book.

"Lin Xia, there is an explanation for this mark of yours!" (End of this chapter)
