The days at Hogwarts

There was uncontrollable excitement on Seamus' face, and his gums were exposed when he smiled.

When the four men passed by an armored unit, a long axe suddenly fell down and blocked their way.

"what!!"

The silence in the corridor was suddenly broken, and there were faint echoes in the distance.

Simo was frightened by the axe that suddenly appeared in front of him and screamed. His heartbeat suddenly became rapid and heavy.

The other three were also startled, but they didn't scream. They just stiffened their necks and stood stiff, not daring to move.

The portraits around him also complained in low voices:

"What are you doing so late at night?"

"Can't I sleep anymore!"...

A ghost emerges from the armor, it's Nearly Headless Nick.

He looked at the few people and laughed out loud, his voice rough and hearty: "Ha! Boy, I caught you wandering at night."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, came back to his senses, and complained, "Damn Nick, knowing that we were going to wander around at night, he still scared us."

It has been almost a month since school started, and the few people have become familiar with Nick and often joke with him.

"Has Filch already inspected this floor?" Loren felt that Nick would not lure Filch over to arrest a few people.

"Hey, smart boy, he went upstairs." Nick wanted to chat a few more words.

Harry didn't want to delay any longer, they had to get back before midnight, so he pulled Loren aside and left quickly: "Goodbye Nick, we have things to do, we'll talk later."

Nick looked at the backs of the people walking away and muttered, "Impolite boys!"

Seamus was still a little dazed, so Ron pulled him along and said, "He'll have to learn a lesson sooner or later."

……

The corridor on the right side of the fourth floor.

Loren waited for Harry and Ron to make a move, after all, they had already been here once.

Harry and Ron didn't respond, and they just stared at the locked door.

"Why don't you open the door!" Simo couldn't wait any longer. He didn't understand what they were waiting for in front of the door.

Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed. Harry scratched his hair and said, "Last time we came here with Hermione, and she used the Unlocking Charm to open the door. We don't know this spell."

Loren clicked his tongue, "Hermione and two useless boys."

Seamus also understood, and he remembered one of his innate spells that was very suitable for opening the door.

Seamus' eyes lit up and he took out his wand: "I have a spell that's perfect for opening doors!"

Loren quickly reached out to stop him: "[Open Door] is also suitable for setting off fireworks after we are expelled."

If Seamus had released [Open Door] here, with the explosion and the barking of the three-headed dog, they would have been happy to receive the expulsion letter from Hogwarts.

"[Alahoo Cave Open]" Loren had learned this spell before school started.

The iron lock on the door popped open.

"Well done, Loren," Ron praised.

Harry quickly opened the door and was about to go in, but when he saw the scene in the room, he was stunned.

The three people behind noticed that Harry pushed the door open and blocked it, not moving at all, with one hand waving behind his back.

Seamus was puzzled: "What are you doing? Go in!"

As he said that, he pushed Harry in, and Loren and Ron followed him in.

The scene inside shocked the three people behind.

Dumbledore was in the room, placing some food next to the three-headed dog. In the corner of the room was the familiar Mirror of Erised.

Harry wanted to yell into Seamus's ear at this moment, "You stupid teammates! I clearly hinted that you didn't leave, but you still rushed in!"

The four of them stood blankly at the door, and no one spoke first.

Seamus had a bitter face, wanting to cry but unable to. Why, why did I finally get to participate in a night tour, and end up in the principal's crosshairs.

"A surprise guest! Come meet my friend."

"This is Lu Wei. I need him to help me guard something that needs to be kept secret."

Dumbledore beckoned a few people to come closer and introduced Fluffy to them.

Loren was not nervous at all. He felt that Dumbledore should have discovered them long ago and was waiting here specially. The old headmaster really worked hard to help Harry upgrade.

Loren was not nervous at all. He took a pair of raw steaks and handed them to the middle-aged Lu Wei's mouth, taking the opportunity to rub it: "Hello, Lu Wei."

The three-headed dog also rubbed against Loren happily, and then concentrated on chewing the bone.

Simo was stunned. When he entered the room, he had even thought about how to apologize to his mother after dropping out of school. But his friend turned out to be so fierce.

Dumbledore looked at the others who were a little reserved: "When I was a student at Hogwarts, I also went on a night tour."

Ron and Seamus were immediately attracted. Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century, actually went on a night tour.

"But every school rule of Hogwarts has its reason for existence."

The minds of several people were in tension again.

"Let's just keep it as a little secret between us this time." Dumbledore winked at a few people and made a clumsy eye hint.

"Long live the Headmaster!" Seamus cheered.

Dumbledore pulled out various candies from his sleeves and greeted a few people.

Loren introduced Ron and Seamus to Dumbledore in turn: "This is Ron, the Weasley. This is Seamus, our roommate."

Dumbledore was in high spirits. "Oh, I know, Arthur and Molly's child. We met in the office last time, but it was a bit rushed." He looked at Ron. "I heard that you are very good at wizard chess."

"Yes!" Ron was also very happy, but a little reserved, his face flushed: "No, no, I just play chess often."

Dumbledore turned to Seamus again: "I know that you are very good at a particular type of spell."

Simo's face also turned red, and he hesitated for a long time without being able to say anything.

Under Loren's arrangement and Dumbledore's deliberate cooperation, the few people began to chat aimlessly about their friends, the smart Miss Know-It-All, the timid and kind Neville...

Chapter 43 I have an appointment with the Potions Professor

Loren suspected that the next level was not ready yet, and Dumbledore was testing the military intelligence.

In the original work, the levels were designed based on the specialties of Harry, Hermione, and Ron, but now it seems that the difficulty may be increased.

Never mind, I will just put my hands in my pockets and not participate in this copy, Loren laughed in his heart.

Harry didn't say much, his eyes were always on the Mirror of Erised. When he couldn't see the mirror before, he felt that he had let it go. Now that the mirror was right next to him, Harry couldn't help but glance at the corner.

Dumbledore noticed this and said gently, "Harry, it is of no use to indulge in unreal dreams and forget about real life."

The speed of speech was neither fast nor slow, but every word seemed to penetrate into Harry's heart.

The strange atmosphere made everyone silent, and Dumbledore seemed to be waiting for a few people to think.

Only Loren put the hazelnut chocolate in his mouth and kept making chewing sounds.

After a while, Dumbledore smiled and said, "Well, I think you should go back. Otherwise, Neville might bring Minerva to trouble me later."

"Goodbye, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Several people stood up hurriedly and walked back to the dormitory in a daze.

"Is Headmaster Dumbledore criticizing me?" Harry thought that his constant looking at the magic mirror had disappointed Dumbledore.

Loren yawned, "Don't think too much. If you are criticized, you will speak directly."

Harry didn't say anything. His mind couldn't stop and he was always thinking too much.

Simo came back to his senses from his trance, "Is this what a night tour is? It's exciting. You don't need to call me next time."

First he was frightened by a ghost, then he went to see the three-headed dog and met Dumbledore. It was really thrilling, and he almost got expelled. Neville was really foresighted.

The most important thing is that you can’t tell anyone about it and show off. This is the most uncomfortable thing.

"We still don't know what the three-headed dog is guarding." Ron discovered the blind spot, and their original intention of night tour was not realized.

Loren said arrogantly: "It's okay! There is still a chance!"

Loren didn't say the remaining half, you can do it by yourselves next time.

……

On Friday, after a potions class in the morning, it’s free time on the weekend.

In the afternoon, Loren took Hermione to the Room of Requirement to practice the Shield Charm.

"Honestly, I think we should learn this spell when we are older. You are wasting your time now." Hermione frowned and was pulled away by Loren.

"It won't happen this time. I have improved a lot!" Loren thought of the last record of 22 to 0. This explanation was really unconvincing.

Hermione also remembered the last experience and smiled happily: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements, Mr. 22-0."

"What weird things are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Mr. 22-0, Mr. 22-0..."

Even when they reached the Room of Requirement, Hermione still found the name very interesting.

Both sides stood firm.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready!"

The sound echoed repeatedly in the duel room.

Hermione could clearly feel Loren's progress. He could almost stably cast a magic barrier, but most of the time it would cancel out Hermione's spells, and occasionally it would twist in a random direction.

For the whole afternoon, Hermione repeated the process of casting, casting, casting, and removing the spell. If Hermione had enough proficiency, her binding spell would definitely be upgraded to several levels.

"Everyone is petrified." Hermione waved her wand casually.

This time, Loren suddenly had a strange intuition. He pressed his wand down a little: "[Armor Protection]"

Hermione's linear white light hit the tip of Loren's wand, as if it hit an invisible shield. The shield suddenly flashed, and the linear white light bounced back in the direction it came from and hit Hermione.

Hermione's body tensed up, her hands clenched at the hem of her trousers, her face turned blue, and she fell straight down.

"My Armor Spell can be deflected!!!" Loren cheered.

But there was something more important to do, Loren sat cross-legged next to Hermione and looked into her eyes, "Ahem, Miss Granger, Loren Morgan has something to discuss with you, if you are willing, just move your eyes."

There was a strong anger in Hermione's eyes, and the meaning was very clear: if the curse is not lifted, you will die!

Loren pretended to wait for a moment and replied, "Okay, Miss Granger agreed to talk to me. Let's reach a contract. If you don't mention the 22-0 thing again, I will help you remove the curse."

After Hermione thought about it for a while, Loren continued, "If you agree, just move your eyes."

This time Loren didn't pause and quickly said, "Then we have a deal."

Loren made the deal on his own.

So what's the cost?

I was beaten all the way back to the restaurant by Hermione.

……

In the basement, Loren came to keep his weekly Friday appointment with Snape. He was ready to have close contact with toads, poisonous snakes and lizards.

Entering the office, Snape was still marking homework.

Hearing Loren coming in, Snape said without even raising his head: "Answer me, what is the role of two-ear grass in Polyjuice Potion?"

This is the content of the reading list assigned by Snape. Loren replied: "To connect with another person."

"What magical creature corresponds to the habits of the bicorn?"

"Skinny cow."...

The next few questions were about the contents of the first few books on the list, which Loren remembered more clearly.

Loren answered several questions, and Snape's tone became less aggressive.
