Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 235 Weiwei: Just this once!

Develop ancient magic?
That's a good idea, and to be honest, Snape's suggestion is indeed constructive.

But the question is, developing it with Miss Grindelwald?
Harry didn't think that Vivi could work with him to develop the application of this ancient spell. Just as Sirius guessed, Vivi would rather he keep this loophole so that she could read his true thoughts.

Old thousand-layer cake.

"Why?" Snape's greasy and sarcastic tone reappeared. "You didn't go to find your almighty Miss Grindelwald, but instead bothered your old professor and delayed his time to make a tooth-healthy potion for the headmaster... Maybe the old professor wouldn't mind, but the headmaster who didn't want to reveal his name might not mind."

You don’t want to reveal your name, and you still call me Mr. Principal?

Everyone knows that you are talking about Dumbledore.

but……

Harry thought what he said was right, and after thinking for a moment, he said goodbye to Snape and walked towards the Chamber of Secrets.

Since Vivi's resurrection, Harry would occasionally come to the Map Chamber with Vivi to visit the professors.

Regarding the portrait, Vivi gave the reason that she absorbed the portrait's memory.

The reason is that she is still alive, and it is somewhat unlucky to have her portrait hanging in the secret room of the map.

So Harry didn't ask any further questions. He just took what she said as the truth.

The last time they came to the Map Chamber was last week after Vivi returned to school and Harry followed her here to visit the professors.

As the door slowly opened, Harry walked into the map chamber.

"Hah, Potter."

When Professor Rookwood saw Harry, he uttered a sound, but it was unclear what he meant.

Are Harry welcome or are they not welcome?

The original portrait of Vivi standing now has a completely new frame. It was renovated by Vivi last year and Professor Sen Bakar was invited back.

It is indeed a bit miserable that Professor Sen Bakar has been staying in some unknown corner for so many years.

"Ha, Potter!"

This was Professor Rackham's greeting. He waved his hand towards Harry with a relaxed look on his face.

"Ha, Potter!"

Professor Sam Bakar didn't look very happy. Perhaps he hated Harry and his family, and was somewhat resentful of Harry - after all, if Harry hadn't disappeared, Professor Sam Bakar wouldn't have been alone in a corner for a hundred years.

a hundred years!

Do you know how I have spent the past hundred years?
I don't even have anyone to talk to!

"Oh, Harry."

The only one who was visibly pleased to see Harry was Headmaster Fitzgerald.

"Hello, professors." Harry greeted the professors very politely.

"I remember you came here with the little girl from Grindelwald's family last month, right, Potter?" Professor Sen Bakar asked with narrowed eyes.

Harry did not deny it, and nodded and said, "Yes, Professor, I did come here with Vivi...but I had something else to do this time."

"What is it?" asked Professor Rookwood.

"that is……"

Harry thought for a moment and began to form his words.

"I have learned Occlumency and can now clear my mind - but I want to learn some advanced applications of Occlumency. Professor Snape told me that perhaps ancient magic can be applied to Occlumency."

"That's a good suggestion indeed." Principal Fitzgerald nodded and said, "That's a good thing. Why don't you go find Vivi?"

"Uh……"

Harry's face suddenly became embarrassed.

"What's wrong with you?" Principal Fitzgerald asked suspiciously.

Harry had no choice but to tell the truth: "Weiwei doesn't want to teach me how to use advanced brain blocking. She thinks I should focus on learning spells instead of these illusory things."

As soon as he finished speaking, Professor Sen Bakar slammed his hands as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Ha! I knew it! She definitely won't want to teach you this - I made a bet with the professors back then... Do you remember? A hundred years ago, you said you wanted to learn Occlumency, but that little girl always used all kinds of topics to change your mind... After she left, I told Principal Fitzgerald that the girl must have wanted you to have no secrets in front of her..."

"Uh……"

Harry didn't know what to say, so he just used the universal word "uh".

"That's good." Professor Sen Bakar smiled. "Since Miss Grindelwald is unwilling to teach you, I can reluctantly take on the responsibility of being a professor. Although I have not tried to apply ancient magic to brain occlusion, I can give you some directions that I thought of when I was alive..."

It can be seen that Professor Sen Bakar is somewhat vindictive and still remembers being locked up in a small dark room by Vivi for a hundred years.

"I have no objection." Professor Rookwood also said: "In fact, I have had some ideas when I was bored over the years, so... Potter, you can give it a try."

"That's fine with me." Professor Rackham said with a smile. He wanted to have some fun, which was the main reason why he helped Harry.

Harry thought it was great to hear that his professors were supporting his idea.

"Cool." He said happily, "So when do we start?"

"Now," said Professor Sen Bakar. He raised his hand and said to Harry, "Go, sit on the chair over there... Let's discuss and see how to improve it... Let me think about it..."

In this way, the three professors argued for more than half an hour, and no one was willing to give in.

After all, they are all masters of ancient magic. No one can convince anyone else, and no one will submit to anyone else.

Everyone thinks that their own method is the best and the idea is the most complete.

In the end, it was Principal Fitzgerald who came up with the idea.

"Why not try all your ideas and see which one succeeds."

After Principal Fitzgerald finished speaking, he turned back to comfort Harry: "Don't worry, Harry, the professors were all outstanding wizards when they were alive, but due to the limitations of life and death, they can only make breakthroughs in theory. In practice, it still depends on you to complete it, so don't feel pressured..."

Can I be stress-free?
Harry complained in his heart, I'm so fucking stressed...

This is spiritual magic. What if I can’t learn it well?
He figured out that these professors were the equivalent of theoretical physicists, while he was a practical type.

What if they got it wrong?
Wouldn't it be me who would suffer when the time comes? Harry always felt like a guinea pig, waiting for the scientist's experiment...

Forget it...

In order to become stronger, Harry decided to risk it all.

A guinea pig is a guinea pig, and as long as it can combine ancient magic and brain occlumency, it is worth paying a small price.

"Then come on." Harry's face was as determined as if he was standing in the dragon's position. "I think I can give it a try - are you sure there won't be any problems?"

"No, it won't." Principal Fitzgerald said in a deep and firm voice.

……

Half an hour later.

Harry gasped and glanced at Principal Fitzgerald with a look of convinced faith.

"Is this what you mean there won't be any problems?" Harry rubbed his head and complained in a muffled voice: "My head is about to explode, Madam Headmaster -"

"It's just a small problem, Harry." Principal Fitzgerald said in a brisk tone, "You have to understand one thing, Harry - there is no free lunch in this world. Using ancient magic to strengthen the brain is still an undeveloped field. Since you want to be a pioneer in this field, it is impossible not to pay some price. What do you think?"

Harry took these words to heart, nodded in approval and said, "In that case... then I'll try Professor Sen Bakar's suggestion again!"

Hearing what Harry said, Professor Sen Bakar showed a satisfied look.

This child... really knows how to make progress!
"Hey!" said Professor Rookwood dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you try my suggestion first?"

"I'm sorry, Professor." Harry said apologetically, "I just wanted to save the best for last..."

"Bah!" Professor Rookwood said angrily, "You just don't believe me... Merlin, if you were a student like you in my time, you would be crucified and punished!"

Even Merlin can't do that, Harry thought viciously, he still wants to save some energy.

……

Another half an hour passed, and Harry seemed to be exhausted. He lay on the ground, sweating profusely, with a look of despair on his face.

He felt very sleepy, extremely sleepy. The experiment just now had almost exhausted all his energy. Now he felt as if he had not slept for several months and his head was dizzy.

"Let's practice tomorrow." Principal Fitzgerald said with concern, "What you need most now is rest, not just holding on here. Go back to your dorm, drink a cup of hot pumpkin juice, and have a good sleep in bed..."

Harry responded weakly and lay on the ground with no intention of getting up.

What he wanted to do most now was to have a good sleep.

But now this environment...

Harry felt that if he slept on the floor of the Chamber of Secrets all night, he would be sore all over when he woke up the next morning.

The floor is hard and cold, and there is a cool breeze coming out...

He panted for a while and forced himself to stand up.

"I hope your approach isn't too stimulating, Professor."

"Don't worry, Harry." Professor Rookwood said hopefully, "You must have a good rest. I think my suggestion is very feasible. If you have enough energy, what you need to do most now is to go back and rest. Do you understand?"

"Tell me what you think first." Harry asked breathlessly.

"Why should I tell you in advance?" Professor Rookwood asked puzzledly.

"You still don't understand?" Professor Sen Bakar crossed his arms and said, "This little guy is obviously worried that his girlfriend will suddenly come to the map secret room, and asked us not to teach him the advanced application of brain occlumency. Don't you understand?"

"We did not teach him the advanced application of Occlumency." Professor Rookwood spread his fat hands and played word games: "What we taught him was the combination of ancient magic and Occlumency..."

Hearing Professor Rookwood's words, Professor Sen Bakar and Professor Rackham both gave a thumbs up.

"But you're right, Harry." After considering it, Professor Rookwood began to tell Harry the details.

Harry took Professor Rookwood's words to heart, said goodbye to the four professors, and left the map room yawning.

As soon as he walked out of the map secret room, he saw Vivi who had just walked to the door.

After seeing Vivi, Harry's heart suddenly went on alarm bells, and he cleared his mind without any hesitation.

He didn't know why he did this, but it was the right thing to do.

"What have you been doing?" Vivi asked Harry suspiciously.

"Nothing." Harry shook his head and yawned, "I have some small questions about ancient magic, and I want to ask the professors..."

"Then why don't you come find me?" Vivi asked, tilting her head.

"Eh?" Harry pretended to wake up. "Didn't Cassandra tell me that you returned to the Muggle world to defend your thesis?"

This was said intentionally. Vivi would never confirm this matter with Cassandra anyway. Not only would she not confirm it, she would also shift her attention to Cassandra.

After hearing what Harry said, Vivi's attention was indeed diverted.

"Is it her?" Weiwei's face darkened, but she didn't say anything. She just asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? You look a little listless?"

"My magic power is a little overdrawn."

Harry moved very naturally, with light steps, and bumped into Vivi, hugging her slender waist.

When hugging her, his hands were a little naughty and even reached into the hem of her shirt, touching the delicate and warm skin of her waist.

"Um……"

Vivi's attention was diverted again, she blushed and slapped Harry's hand away.

"It's still daytime," she warned quietly, "and it's still outside, Harry..."

"Huh?" Harry looked around pretending not to understand and asked, "But no one around saw it. It doesn't matter—"

"That's not possible either!" Weiwei said seriously, "If you want to touch it, we can leave school at night and go to the house I rented in the Muggle world, but not now..."

"Okay." Harry immediately pretended to be disappointed, raised his head and looked at Vivi pitifully.

Weiwei really fell for his tricks. Seeing his pitiful appearance, her heart softened.

"Just this once," she whispered.

(I have a herniated disc, but it's nothing serious. I got much better after a massage on my waist. The doctor used too much force. My elbow is still aching, but it feels really good.)
