This is a normal phenomenon. It’s like if you have always taken the high-speed train and suddenly you are asked to take the green train, you will definitely feel a little uncomfortable.

However, this kind of medicine cannot be taken frequently, otherwise it will make people feel dependent on it, and they will feel that their thinking is stagnant when they are not taking the intelligence enhancer.

Charlotte packed up her things in the dungeon and prepared to return to the common room.

"Grindelwald has most likely already gotten rid of Nurmengard's control. He must be planning something in secret. If he doesn't do anything, it's fine. But once he starts, it will definitely be earth-shattering. I wonder how old Dumbledore will deal with it?"

In fact, in Charlotte's heart, Grindelwald has always been more dangerous than Voldemort.

At least he knew Voldemort's weaknesses, and destroying the seven Horcruxes would be enough to kill him completely, but Grindelwald was like a fog. Judging from the current situation, maybe he lost the duel with Dumbledore on purpose.

You don't know what he wants to do. This kind of unpredictable Lao Liu is the most annoying! .

Chapter 39: I am just a tool

The Christmas holiday passed in the blink of an eye.

The students' return to school once again made Hogwarts lively. Charlotte had not seen Dumbledore since he received the pendant on Christmas Day. He used to appear at dinner time every day.

Recently, Charlotte has also keenly felt that there seems to be a tense atmosphere in the school.

Especially Professor McGonagall, she even had the word worry written on her face.

It's obvious that it has something to do with Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Everyone knows that Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore. Now that he has escaped, according to normal people's thinking, he will definitely come to Dumbledore for revenge, and he will probably vent his anger on other teachers and students in Hogwarts.

After all, Grindelwald's notoriety in the wizarding world is no less vicious than Voldemort's.

Voldemort is now a crippled man with little health, while Grindelwald is a big boss with full health. The two cannot be compared.

"Charlotte, you come and tell everyone the key points of casting the wand lighting spell."

In the morning spell class, Professor Filius called on Charlotte to stand up and demonstrate for everyone. Ever since the professors discovered Charlotte's extraordinary magical talent, such things have often happened in various classes.

Professors have also found that doing so has greatly improved teaching rates.

Ordinary students were amazed that Charlotte could master such advanced magical knowledge. Some rebellious students wanted to find some mistakes in Charlotte's demonstration to prove that he was not a genius.

Charlotte took out her wand and said:

"The Illumination spell is actually a very simple spell. I believe most of you here can cast it. Its spell is from Lumos, but there is one thing you need to remember. When casting the Illumination spell, you must concentrate and control your own magic power. Otherwise, you may ignite your wand, and this damage to the wand is irreversible."

After saying that, he chanted a spell, and a soft white light lit up on his wand.

After the students in the class had basically mastered the spell, Filius said:

"Very good. It seems that everyone is very talented in learning spells. Don't underestimate the Illumination Spell. Although it is just a functional spell, it can also be used against the enemy if used properly."

"How do you use the Illumination Charm against the enemy? Light up your wand and then attack the enemy?" a Gryffindor boy asked loudly.

When the other students heard this, they all burst into laughter.

Not only was Filius not angry, but he also laughed:

"Mr. Plitt's idea is very good, but if your family is not very wealthy, I don't approve of this method because it consumes too much magic wand."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter again.

That's why everyone dared to joke so recklessly in Filius' class, because everyone knew that he was a very gentle person and was happy to get along with students.

If it had been Professor Snape or Professor McGonagall, the kid who made the joke would have been turned into a toad.

After the joke, Filius said:

"Then, let's continue and ask Charlotte to demonstrate to everyone how to use the illumination spell to fight the enemy?"

Charlotte sighed helplessly. He felt like he had become a tool. He took out his wand again and said to the boy who had just joked:

"Want to try it?"

"Of course!"

The boy stood up eagerly. He also wanted to see how the almost powerless lighting spell could be used against the enemy.

Charlotte waved her wand gently and said, "Lunmos-Solem!"

"what!"

The boy immediately let out a scream, and stepped back in panic, knocking over a desk.

Because just now, after Charlotte recited the spell, a dazzling beam of light came out from his wand, hitting the boy's eyes directly, causing his eyes to lose their sight instantly.

Charlotte looked at the stunned crowd and said:

"This is the advanced version of the Illumination Spell, the Flash Spell. It is just a slight modification of the Illumination Spell, and it has such power. If I hadn't controlled the magic power to the minimum, this beam of light would have blinded his eyes directly."

Filius nodded with great satisfaction and motioned for Charlotte to sit down.

"Next, everyone can practice as they please. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always ask me and classmate Charlotte."

Then, Filius said to Charlotte:

"I have thought carefully about the question you asked me before. At your current level, there is really no need for you to stay here. If you are willing, you can come to my magic improvement class, if you can keep up."

"Of course!" Charlotte was very surprised.

Students from the first to fifth grades at Hogwarts learn basic and intermediate magical knowledge, while advanced magical knowledge is learned in the sixth and seventh grade advanced classes.

For example, some advanced spells and some very powerful potions may just be knowledge developed by the professors themselves.

It is impossible to explain this in a normal course.

Charlotte asked, "But to enter the advanced class, don't you have to get excellent scores in the OWLs assessment? Isn't this against the rules?"

Filius smiled and said:

"This is my advanced class. I can let anyone in if I want. And with your ability, you can just show off a few skills and leave others speechless. I believe Dumbledore won't say anything more."

Charlotte nodded. For other students, their biggest wish was to get good grades in Hogwarts and graduate successfully.

But this is dispensable to Charlotte. What he craves is knowledge, more and more advanced magical knowledge. It doesn't matter whether he takes the exam or gets the diploma or not.

That night, Dumbledore, who had not appeared in school for a long time, finally showed up at the dinner.

He revealed an unconcealable fatigue. Charlotte guessed that he had been looking for Grindelwald all this time. Considering their special relationship, something unknown must have happened.

After the dinner, Dumbledore actually found Charlotte directly and told him that if he got the professor's consent, he could enter the advanced class.

That is to say, he no longer has to waste time in the first-year class. He can attend more advanced magic classes, which is unique in the whole Hogwarts.

Chapter 40: News from Grindelwald

Deep in the forbidden forest.

Charlotte stood on the branch of a big tree and looked into the distance.

If there was someone there at this time, they would be surprised to find that his pupils had turned into a rare light gold color.

His hair also changed greatly. It was no longer filamentous, but became a little flat. The color changed from black to gold. His hands even grew sharp nails, like a pair of bird claws.

This is a new form that Charlotte has developed recently, half thunderbird.

The initial cause was that Charlotte felt that the thunderbird's eyes were very powerful. It could see a blade of grass on the ground clearly from thousands of meters in the air. It was like a living high-definition telescope.

So he wondered if he could develop a spell that would allow human eyes to reach this level.

It seems simple when you think about it, but when Charlotte put it into practice she realized that this idea was simply not feasible.

This is completely different from the spell "Thunderbolt" he developed before. "Thunderbolt" relies on his own innate thunder storm, which makes Charlotte himself friendly to thunder and lightning, so he can develop it.

The structure of the thunderbird's eyes is completely different from that of human eyes. If we want humans to have the same vision, we must transform the structure of the eyes.

But human organs are like a delicate instrument. One move can affect the whole body. You can't change them just because you want to.

Another way is to imitate the thunderbird's eyes to make a magical equipment, just like Mad-Eye Moody's magic eye that can see through things, but it is too troublesome and too ugly.

One day, Charlotte had an idea.

He was already a thunderbird, so why should he go so far? So after a long period of practice, he finally mastered the semi-thunderbird form. Although his current state was not as good as the abnormal vision of the full-form thunderbird.

But he could still see clearly everything within two kilometers.

Moreover, in this state, Charlotte's strength and speed have been greatly improved. Even without using magic, he can easily defeat ten strong men.

"what?"

At this moment, Charlotte, who was standing on the branch, let out a light exclamation.

In the dense forest in the distance, two figures, one in front and one behind, were performing a chase scene.

The person running away in front was a girl with flaxen hair, who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Her hair was disheveled and she looked very dishevelled.

The one chasing her was an ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He was not in a good condition either. His clothes were torn and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that he had suffered a lot.

"Heart-breaking and bone-cutting!"

At this time, the middle-aged man directly hit the girl with a Cruciatus Curse.

The girl screamed and fell to the ground, then curled up into a ball, her face distorted in an instant.

The middle-aged man tortured the girl while cursing:

"Run, you stinky bitch, you are a very good runner, how does it feel to be pierced through your heart and bones? It feels good, right? Don't worry, I will let you taste it slowly and fully!"

Charlotte frowned as he watched this. He had also tasted the Cruciatus Curse before. It was definitely the most vicious of the three unforgivable curses, even more vicious than the Killing Curse.

He leaped up and cast a flying spell to fly over.

Charlotte didn't expect that the other party would discover him as soon as he approached him. The middle-aged man was very vigilant and instantly locked him with his magic wand.

Although Charlotte looked like an eleven-year-old boy, it was strange to see such a harmless boy in this dangerous forbidden forest.

"Thunder!"

"Collapse!"

The two launched their attacks almost at the same time, but Charlotte's lightning instantly broke the opponent's stun spell.

The silver lightning not only broke the magic wand in the man's hand, but also knocked him seven or eight meters away.

Charlotte walked forward and found that the middle-aged man was not dead, but just in a coma. He pointed his wand at him and said:

"Resuscitate quickly!"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes with difficulty. He looked at the young man who defeated him, and an incredible look appeared on his face. He was a wizard who could fight two elite Aurors alone without losing!

He was actually defeated by this young man in just one round.

He asked with difficulty:

"who are you?"

"This should be the question I ask you. Who are you?" Charlotte pushed the clothes off the man's arm. "You don't have the Dark Mark, so you are not Voldemort's subordinate. A dark wizard who can use the Cruciatus Curse so skillfully, you can't be Grindelwald's man, right?"

Charlotte just said something casually, but the other person's expression changed instantly.

Is this a lucky coincidence?

That's interesting. Grindelwald's men appeared in the Forbidden Forest and chased a girl. There must be some secret. We can just torture this man to see what Grindelwald, the sixth brother, wants to do.

As if he had guessed Charlotte's thoughts, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and said, "Don't waste your time. I won't tell you a word."

Charlotte smiled slightly and said, "I like people like you who are tough on the outside."

As he spoke, he gently wiped his wrist with his right hand, and a long sword with an ancient shape appeared in his hand. This sword was the reward given to him by the system when he killed Voldemort before, and it was called the Sword of Flagragerak.

It also has another name, called the Sword of Answer.

When a person has this sword pointed at his throat, there is no way he can lie.

This is equivalent to the sword version of truth serum and legilimency, but legilimency and truth serum can be resisted, but the sword of answer cannot. Anyone whose throat is pointed at by the sword must tell the truth.

The middle-aged man looked at Charlotte pointing the Sword of Answer at his throat, thinking that he was threatening him with death, so he said with disdain:

"Even if you chop off my head I won't say a word!"

Charlotte nodded and asked:

"What's your name and why are you chasing this girl?"

The next moment, the expression on the middle-aged man's face changed. He bit his teeth hard and tried to close his mouth, but there seemed to be a powerful force prying his mouth open, and then he said:

"My name is Mason Johnson. I'm from Arizona. I'm a wanted criminal by the U.S. Ministry of Magic. The boss said that this girl's ability is very rare and may affect his plan. He told me that I must bring her back alive."
