Chapter 659

Today is Hogsmeade day. On this day, little wizards can go to Hogsmeade wizard village to relax - which can be said to be a very expected thing.

However, no matter how curious, it is an activity that only students in at least the third grade can be allowed. For a first grader like Alexander, even if he heard about it from his elders, it would only increase his patience.

However, relatively speaking, the learning burden of grade one and grade two must be the lightest. Especially the freshmen who have just entered Hogwarts, compared with the fifth and seventh graders who have to face major exams, it's as easy as taking a vacation every day!

Of course, Alexander didn't think so at this point.

Since Snape included Bogart in the weekly compulsory defense against the dark arts course, everyone has been repeatedly frightened again and again.

Bogart will change into the most feared thing in everyone's heart, and can fear be overcome casually? But in the constant cycle of panic, the little wizards gradually became numb. First, whether other things can cause panic to them or not, at least slowly, the things they fear most seem to become less terrible.

Yes, everyone has made progress to varying degrees, and the effect can be said to be quite remarkable.

Unfortunately, Alexander just couldn't overcome it. Even if he was the first child to understand Snape's intention, even if he was the first child to find out what spell to use against Bogot, he can't use it until now.

He knew that with a Bogot expulsion spell, which was not much more difficult than the wand luminous spell, he could make the object of fear funny, but he could not shoot at his mother's body;

He knew that in fact, laughing was Bogart's most annoying thing, but he could not laugh when he saw his mother's sad appearance.

He knew better that even though everyone's fear was constantly reduced in exercise, he repeatedly recalled the scorched black arm and the silver light of the ring when he opened his eyes in the square.

"Can the real fear be overcome casually?"

Alexander lay in the shade of the trees by the lake, squinting at the fine sunshine through the cracks between the branches and leaves. The air was full of the fragrance of soil. But no matter how fresh the smell was, it could not dispel the thick bloody smell from his memory.

"Hoo..."

Alexander breathed out softly, then turned over, stood up from the grass, and walked further south along the lake bank step by step.

That direction was where I boarded the boat by the lake when I first came to Hogwarts. Except for the usual navigation, no one usually goes there, so it is always quiet.

But when Alexander walked along the lake for a while, he seemed to hear something. He couldn't help but listen and catch the direction of the sound. Before long, he found that the voice became more and more clear and familiar as he continued to move forward.

"This voice... Is it Ernst?"

After a little speculation, his pace became faster. When he bypassed several big trees and a particularly lush Bush that no one cleaned up, a figure immediately came into his eyes.

"... except your weapon!"

It was indeed Ernst, the first classmate he knew. Although they had hardly spoken since they were assigned to different colleges, he still remembered each other's appearance very clearly.

Alexander was deeply impressed by his tall figure, short dark hair, symmetrical but unexpectedly ruffian facial features, and of course the other party's words that would never be good-natured.

"Except your weapon!"

It was another powerful wave of staff and a clear mantra, but there was no magic brilliance in imagination. Obviously, the other party was practicing the spell, but he didn't succeed.

"Barnes?"

When the other party failed again, Alexander, standing by a big tree in the back, called. Ernst immediately looked back, frowned and looked this way.

"Is it you?" he paused, and then said impatiently, "don't bother me."

After that, Ernst turned around again and waved his wand at the trunk in front of him.

Alexander didn't care. He stepped out of the thick grass and walked a few steps towards the open space where burns was. Although the other party's refusal attitude is very clear, he doesn't care.

"You're practicing the disarm spell?" Alexander asked. "Why? Isn't that a spell you learn in second grade?"

Alexander didn't think Ernst would answer at first - it would be a shame not to scold and keep himself away from the neighborhood. But unexpectedly, although the other party still looked back and stared at him, he still made a specific response.

"Looks like you've previewed it, too?" Ernst stared at Alexander. "If you could start practicing earlier, why did you put it off until second grade?"

"What about the first grade spell? Can you cast it easily?" Alexander was surprised.

Ernst curled his lips and snorted.

"I just want to learn what works," he said. "For example - all fossilization!"

This guy didn't just read the mantra. He really held out his wand to Alexander. When Alexander saw the tip of his opponent's staff waving and skimming, he quickly fell to the ground.

The spell of erns worked, but Alexander dodged in time, and the effect of the whole body binding spell only worked on a bush. Alexander glanced back at the completely still Bush and hurriedly got up.

"What are you doing!" even with his good temper, he couldn't help getting a little angry now.

"I'm demonstrating the magic spell to you," said Ernst casually. "How's it going? Isn't the effect good? Why don't you stay still and I'll give you one more time to feel the feeling of being hit by the whole body binding spell?"

"You --"

Alexander was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"All right, are you all right?" RNs shook his head. "If you're all right, don't bother me. I'll continue to practice! I'm not interested in a guy like you who lives a leisurely life -"

"Legs stand stiff and stop dead!" "Hey - Oh!"

This is the leg lock mantra - Ernst, who fell down because his legs were suddenly close together and his center of gravity was unstable, immediately reacted. But the spell came so suddenly that he just turned around and didn't find it, so that he was caught without suspense.

"Stop! Stop! Damn it, I haven't learned this spell yet!" Ernst half lay on the ground and waved his stick at his tight legs again and again, but he couldn't untie it.

There are two general anti spells, but no matter which one is the same as the disarm spell, it will not be included in the scope of study until the second grade.

"Do you still think I'm a student of 'Leisure'?" Alexander asked angrily.

"OK! You are not!" said Ernst angrily. "Then, Alexander, who is not living a leisurely life, must have learned a lot of magic spells? I ask you, can you use the universal anti curse?"

"Er..." Alexander's expression was stiff. "I've been practicing those in grade one!"

"Damn it!" Ernst patted hard on his two close legs and sighed, "I remember... The time limit of the leg lock spell is two hours? Two hours!"

"Why don't... I go to the professor?" Alexander scratched his scalp and hesitated.

"Don't!" Ernst waved immediately. "I don't want to be laughed at... Besides, if the professor knows, you bastard will be punished!"

Then he lay on the ground and stared at the sky.

"Mantra stands still -"

Coldly, Alexander tried to wave his wand. When it comes to staff waving and mantra syllables, he still clearly remembers, but without the teacher's specific demonstration and various analysis and interpretation, how can one or two attempts succeed?

Not surprisingly, his spell failed.

"Don't waste your energy," said Ernst, taking a piece of grass and chewing it casually. "Bah! It's bitter and astringent... Well, according to what you just said, I guess you haven't studied the general anti curse carefully? I've thought about it several times, but I haven't succeeded once, let alone you!"

"Yes! I know, magic is not so easy to learn..." Alexander tried again, and then simply sat down beside him. "Just try."

"Alas..." RNs said with a bored face, "Hey, tell me! It's been a while since we arrived at Hogwarts. Is there anything interesting to hear? Otherwise, we'll wait like this, and we'll be bored to death..."

Perhaps because of this leg locking spell, he had the most direct understanding of Alexander, so he was more willing to talk than in the past.

"Interesting thing?" Alexander thought. "Speaking of it, there seems to be something this morning... A gift box appeared in our Gryffindor common lounge for some reason. It looks very upscale."

"Gift box?" Ernst interrupted, smacking his tongue. "What's' interesting '?"

"Listen first!" Alexander waved his hand. "There is also a line on the wrapping paper of the gift box, saying that there is a box of chocolate mixed with blessing. Who wants who to take it. But..."

He was about to go on, but suddenly he heard a rustling noise, so he stopped his oral topic, held his wand and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Who?"

It seems that Ernst has noticed.
