The years of welding at Hogwarts

With Harry's small arms and legs, there is nothing inappropriate about Shirley's clothes.

There's no need for makeup, just a crimson wig like Lily's.

Double the Lily, double the joy.

A man's happiness is always simple, especially for a passionate old bootlicker like Snape. Even a word from the goddess can make him happy for a month.

If Harry could dress like a woman, the situation in Potions class would be completely different.

Same scenario, same problem.

Harry stared pitifully at his green eyes inherited from his mother, and said aggrievedly, "I don't know, sir."

Snape: "Don't cry, don't cry! Ten points from Gryffindor for your honesty!"

Thinking of this, Noah almost moved to Bengbu again.

Noticing Noah's weird expression, Shirley knew that this guy was definitely secretly planning something bad again.

She pushed Noah, interrupting his gradually divergent thoughts, "Hermione and I have an appointment to go to the library tonight, are you going?"

"No," Draco shook his head like a rattle, "Who would go to the library on the first night of school except for those nerds in Ravenclaw?"

When he said this, he completely forgot that the two girls next to him were from Ravenclaw.

After all, everyone was eating at the same table just now, and he might have thought that himself and the people next to him were members of Hufflepuff.

By the time Draco reacted, it was too late.

Noah gave him a helpless look. Saying bad things about Blood Red Chili Pepper in front of Blood Red Chili Pepper was something Noah didn't dare to do.

Especially in Hogwarts, where she has the support of her kind old father Snape.

You'd better hope for the best.

Chapter 37: The Half-Blood Prince's Notes on the Dark Arts

In the end, Hermione and the others did not go to the library, but stayed in the hall to do their homework.

According to Bloodred, ah no, Lily, that's not right either.

According to what Shirley had heard from her senior classmates, Irma Pince, the librarian at Hogwarts, was like a malnourished old vulture in human form.

Under her management, the library became more like a totalitarian state than a place of learning.

She was so strict about books that she could remember clearly how many scratches and stains each book had when she borrowed it.

Whenever the books were returned with new things added to them, she would get very angry.

But aren’t books meant to be read?

No matter how careful you are, there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps while reading.

But this was not tolerated by Mrs. Pince.

She wanted to seal each book with plastic film, put them in beautifully decorated glass display cases, and offer them as sacrificial offerings.

In addition, she could not tolerate any noise in the library's study room.

Not to mention a few people gathering together to chat and laugh like they were doing now, even if they were discussing in a low voice the difficulties they encountered while doing their homework, they would be attacked by Madam Pince with a feather duster.

It is more enjoyable to study in the auditorium than in the library.

When dinner time is over and other students have left the auditorium and closed the door, the auditorium becomes the best study room.

Because there was only one History of Magic class today, Noah, who had no intention of doing his History of Magic homework, directly picked up a book that was obviously not in the textbook and started reading.

Looking at the silver-black cover that she had never seen in Flourish and Blotts, Miss Beaver, who was originally planning to do her Potions homework, was immediately attracted by it.

It's just that the upside-down font obviously affected Hermione's reading.

"What kind of book is this?"

Noah slightly raised his head from reading and shook the book in his hand. "The Half-Blood Prince's Notes on the Dark Arts, a book on the dark arts."

Hermione:? ? ?

When I type this question mark, it’s not me who has a problem, it’s you who has a problem.

When Shirley heard Noah read out the name of the book, she did not have any special reaction. She was still enjoying the sweets she had just hidden during the after-dinner dessert.

However, Hermione seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze for a long time with her eyes wide open, unable to react.

After a long while, she stammered, "You, you, how could you..."

According to what she read in the book "The Rise and Fall of Black Magic", black magic is a type of evil spell that is performed with the purpose of harming others and relies on negative emotions such as hatred, resentment, and murderous intent.

Wizards who practice this kind of magic are called Dark Wizards.

Because of the black magic

Because magic requires mobilizing one's own negative emotions, and under the influence of these negative emotions for a long time, most dark wizards have distorted personalities and mood swings.

A person with strong willpower can overcome these adverse effects of black magic to a certain extent or even completely.

For example, Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is known as the greatest white magician in the wizarding world today. To gain such a reputation, it is obviously not enough to just study white magic.

Only by having a sufficient understanding of black magic can one study and crack it in a targeted manner and master the corresponding defensive magic, or white magic.

Therefore, Dumbledore, the great white wizard, actually also mastered and was proficient in many kinds of black magic, but he never used them.

Another example is Gellert Grindelwald.

There is no need to say much about this first generation Dark Lord who was once so powerful that his rule once spread to half of the magical world.

But in the eyes of others, Noah, a little wizard who was only eleven years old, was obviously not among those who could completely get rid of the influence of black magic.

After all, he is not the son of destiny.

No wonder when Hermione heard that Noah was reading a book on dark magic, her reaction was as shocked as those conservative and traditional old women who were shocked to hear that their sons had come out.

"This, this, this..."

She stuttered for a long time without being able to successfully utter a complete sentence. When faced with this completely unexpected situation, her wisdom was of no use for a while.

"That's dark magic!"

Seeing that Noah didn't agree, the little beaver stood up, leaned over the table, and pressed the book in Noah's hand.

"Dark magic! Do you know how serious this is?"

Noah, who was interrupted, raised his head helplessly, and his gray-green eyes met Hermione's gaze.

"Isn't it just dark magic?"

"You already know that it's dark magic, and you still..."

Putting down the book in his hand, Noah interrupted Hermione and said, "But you know, there is no good or bad in spells themselves. Only humans, wizards themselves, can distinguish between black and white, good and bad."

Shirley suppressed the cat-like purring sound she made when she ate a satisfying sweet treat and began to watch the show with great interest.

Draco and Neville were so frightened by the little beaver's angry look that they trembled and dared not speak.

"But only dark wizards would learn and study the dark arts! You are a student of Hogwarts!"

Noah held up a finger and shook it in front of Hermione's face, "No, no, no, this world is not as black and white as you think, Miss Granger."

"I still say that magic itself is neither good nor bad. Its nature should depend on who uses it and how it is used."

"If I have bad intentions, I can use even the most insignificant Qingshui Ruquan spell to cause great harm to others."

"But……"

Without giving Hermione a chance to argue, Noah spread out his palm, and a clear and transparent drop of water suddenly appeared quietly above his palm.

Water droplets continued to appear and gather, and the volume of the water ball expanded rapidly in the process, until it expanded to nearly the size of a basketball and then stopped.

Noah's eyes narrowed slightly, and the water ball in his palm began to spin wildly. The water flow gradually stratified during the rotation, forming several extremely sharp high-pressure water blades.

Water Style: Hard Vortex Water Blade!

He casually pulled the licorice wand out of Shirley's mouth and threw it into the whirlpool.

This earned Shirley's death glare, but the other three's attention was clearly focused on the madly spinning vortex of water blades.

In the blink of an eye, the licorice magic wand that was trapped in it was strangled into countless pieces by the violent water blade.

If it hits a human body...

There is no doubt that it can definitely grind a good head into pieces like a meat grinder.

Hermione's eyes widened in shock. You told me this is clear water like a spring! ?

Although the scene before her was shocking, Hermione, who had been the strongest debater in the debate team when she was in elementary school, would obviously not be distracted by Noah so easily.

"But learning the dark arts will affect a wizard's mind! If you continue like this, sooner or later you will become a..."

"A what?"

He casually threw the water ball mixed with food crumbs in his hand onto the ground. After cleaning up and erasing all traces, Noah still had that calm look on his face.

His tone was filled with disdain, "A lunatic?"

The girl bit her lower lip gently and didn't say anything, but her meaning was very clear.

"Magic should be a wizard's tool, not the other way around."

"Like Albus Dumbledore, he also masters a lot of dark magic, but he is still known as the greatest white wizard in the wizarding world today. Do you know why?"

"That's impossible!" Hermione said firmly, "How could Headmaster Dumbledore learn the Dark Arts?"

Shirley, who had been watching the show silently, couldn't help but join in the debate, "Not everyone who knows dark magic is a dark wizard, like Slytherin."

Hermione was a little confused. What did this have to do with Slytherin House?

Noah answers for Shirley

Hermione was puzzled.

"Her father, my temporary guardian, the head of Slytherin House, Professor Severus Snape, is proficient in the Dark Arts."

"But isn't Slytherin House home to many dark wizards?"

Hermione didn't finish the second half of her sentence, which was -

Isn't it only natural that the head of Slytherin House is proficient in the Dark Arts?

What the fuck...

For a moment, both Noah and Shirley were choked by Hermione's arbitrary and completely irresponsible inference.

Shirley slapped her forehead, making a crisp sound.

Indeed, she shouldn't have said that.

Noah also slapped himself on the forehead.

Coming out of his speechless state, Noah lowered his arms.

"Professor Dumbledore is also proficient in the Dark Arts. You can ask him in person next time you meet him. He will definitely be happy to answer your questions."

"Not only the headmaster, but many professors at Hogwarts all know some dark magic."

Shirley shrugged. "Although my father's knowledge of the dark arts may be, well, a little more than that of other deans."

She held up two fingers and gestured in front of Hermione.

Really just a few hundred million.

Hermione stared at Shirley doubtfully, but after a long while she couldn't see any sign of lies in Shirley's sincere expression.

Okay, let’s put this question aside for now.

Now there is another rather serious problem. The professors are able to learn and master the Dark Arts because they are all determined adult wizards.

But Noah...

In Hermione's opinion, his current behavior was like a delinquent boy under the age of eighteen secretly reading...

No, he was already openly reading books with R-rated titles.

And it happened in front of two girls!

Shameless!
