Chapter 11： Calm and calm

Since the first duel club, Lockhart seems to find that his status in the hearts of the students is rapidly declining, and the activities of the duel club have ended in such a hurry.

But after that, Schelling still maintained a good teacher-student relationship with Professor Lockhart. Schelling would visit Lockhart’s office from time to time to ask some questions about defense against the dark arts, especially about some vaguely described content in Lockhart’s books. Of course Schelling would not forget to give every time. He brought a bottle of Ogden Aged Fire Whiskey, which made Lockhart embarrassed to turn Schelling away.

Schelling’s dexterity and studious make Lockhart feel very bad, just like when Schelling talked with him about the humanoid restoration spell used in "Wandering with the Werewolves", he could feel that there was nothing in Schelling’s eyes. Admiration, more of curiosity about this spell. That genius is very interested in restoring the humanoid curse! If it was the past, teaching the other party to restore the humanoid spell would undoubtedly be an opportunity to pull in the relationship between the two parties, but it is a pity that Lockhart would not use this spell at all. When Xie Lin asked him, he almost couldn't answer. In the end, he could only use the time he needed to sort out the professor's ideas and send Xie Lin away, but Xie Lin seemed to see through him a long time ago. Thoughts and said that he would come to visit another day.

Lockhart had to go back to his previous residence during Christmas to find something useful. "Wandering with the Werewolves" still left Lockhart's deep memory-no way, the old Armenian wizard was old and ugly, and the clothes he wore were not tasteful, making him complain. At the beginning, Lockhart spent a lot of time investigating the matter, and he also went to the village that was scoured by the werewolf to investigate, and cast an oblivion curse on all the villagers living there, so that all insiders would forget the matter. It's all done.

Lockhart naturally understands the restoration of the humanoid spell, after all, that is the most central spell in "Wandering with the Werewolves". It took him a lot of words to put the spell out of the old wizard. This is a spell created by the old wizard from the ancient magic handed down from the Seleucid Empire, but he did not seem to realize the meaning of this spell. Lockhart once thought of relying on this spell to become famous. After all, the spell that can temporarily transform the wolf-shaped werewolf back into the human form is of great significance, so when he left, he not only erased the other party’s memory, but also stole the record of restoring the humanoid spell. And research. If he can learn and publish this magic, Lockhart knows that he will be able to become famous in the world of wizarding. It is a pity that things have backfired. He tried for a full year without even touching the fur of the spell.

Lockhart found in his residence the drafts he had written before writing the book over the years, as well as many secret achievements from others—the chronic venom extracted from the ghoul in "Swim with the Ghoul" , The potion to resist the mind control of the **** in "Holiday with the Dominatrix", the vampire amulet used in "Traveling with the Vampire", the humanoid restoration curse in "Wandering with the Werewolf"... Lockhart carefully flipped over After there was indeed no other content that could not be shown to Schelling, he brought the entire box of research materials back to Hogwarts and handed them to Schelling.

Lockhart’s research notes are obtained!

During the two weeks of Christmas vacation, Schelling spent the study of Lockhart’s research notes. Although Lockhart is not very strong, he does have a good book in writing. The key point can be seen. In the research notes, every detail of the subjects he investigated is recorded in detail, and the arrangement is very neat and orderly, and it is very comfortable to read.

Soon the first week of January came, the second semester began, and the little wizards returned from the Christmas holiday.

The Harry trio was probably silent for a while because of the lesson. Hermione put a cat hair as a human hair and put it in the compound soup. In the end, she became a cat girl and lived in the school hospital for several times. week. Although Harry and Ron escaped the punishment of being expelled, they were also confined to Filch to perform various cleaning tasks. Filch still believes that Harry killed his cat and will naturally not let Harry live. Fortunately, every day he tried his best to assign Harry the dirtiest and most disgusting cleaning task.

Draco, Gore, and Crabbe recovered quickly under the influence of magic, and only recovered and discharged on the second day of hospitalization. Although Draco's embarrassment was only seen by a few people present at the time, the embarrassment about him being beaten up still spread like wildfire in Slytherin College, making Draco, who has always been a high profile, lost face because of the feeling of losing face. During this period of time, his face has been terribly gloomy, and he has acted a lot more low-key.

Ginny tried to get rid of the diary and threw the diary into the girl's bathroom on the third floor, and was picked up by Harry, all of which was seen by Schelling, who was hidden from the side.

Schelling has experienced the battle of the duel club and the Slytherin lounge. He is already a small celebrity in Slytherin Academy. The brilliant record of defeating Harry Potter twice made these little wizards feel that they and Schelling are deeply. Everyone recognizes one thing: Xie Lin is not only the first in academic performance, but also seems to be the strongest among the students in the same class. In the corridors of the school, there were a lot of little wizards from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw who would greet Schelling when they saw Schelling, while the little wizards of Gryffindor gritted their teeth at Schelling and looked at Schelling. As Gryffindor's number one public enemy.

Xie Lin sneered at the childish psychology of this group of kids and ignored it.

To be fair, Schelling is not the same as Draco. Draco was full of adoration and fantasies for Harry, the figure who defeated the Dark Lord, from an early age. As a result, when he made peace on the Hogwarts Express. When Harry made friends but was rejected, he could be said to have developed a complex emotion towards Harry that turned into hatred from love. He wanted to hit Harry in every way. He wanted Harry to understand how stupid it was to refuse to be his friend!

Schelling didn’t hate Harry and Ron, to be honest—in his opinion, the grievances between Harry, Ron, and Draco were purely naive, and he never treated Harry and Ron at all. As an opponent of the same level, his ambition and goal have always been focused on defeating Voldemort. Of course, his intrigue with Dumbledore and other pure-blood families is indispensable; crushing Harry twice is just easy. The first time it was Snape's selfishness that contributed to it, and the second time it was purely Harry himself. This is why Schelling chose to tidy up Harry cleanly in both incidents, and never thought about how to humiliate or taunt him.

The matter of the duel club gave Schelling a wake-up. Schelling decided to open a small duel club within Slytherin, and only invited Slytherin students in the first and second grades to participate. Schelling’s fame quickly Many members have been recruited for the duel club, almost everyone is there, even the self-esteem Theodore Knot and Blaise Chabini are no exception.

Schelling did not teach them any powerful spells or combat skills that can quickly increase their strength. Instead, they started from the basics of holding and wielding a wand. In the first few activities, the little wizards were hindered by Schelling’s reputation. Not to mention it on the surface, in fact, there are more or less disappointments in their hearts, but after participating in several activities, they each found that they had made great progress in the usual spell class and transformation class, and only then did they know Xie Lin How much help to them, and Schelling once again gained a wave of good reputation.

Since the battle in the Slytherin Lounge, there has been no attack in the castle again, and in a blink of an eye came the Easter holiday in April.

The second grade students have to choose two elective courses for the third grade.

Schelling has no interest in the three subjects of divination, arithmetic divination, and Muggle studies. As for the study of ancient runes, Schelling is not humble. Schelling doubts that Professor Bassheda Bablin can teach him anything he can do. Something you don't understand. In order not to waste time on these courses that were of no practical use or interest to him, he and Draco only chose one magical biology after communicating with Lucius several times, and then Lucius passed The influence of his school director status allowed Hogwarts to reopen the "Alchemy" course that had been discontinued for centuries.

Alchemy is a highly specialized subject. It was discontinued for two reasons: insufficient demand among students and the difficulty of finding a qualified professor. These two questions are not a problem for Schelling at all. He is confident to persuade most of Slytherin's classmates to take alchemy together, and finding a professor is not a big problem for the pure-blood family. As far as Schelling knows, the two giants in the British alchemy world are the Knott family and the Bock family, both of which are pure-blooded families with deep interest in the Malfoy family. If Lucius is willing to come forward, they will not stop selling. Lucius this face.

At the same time, Professor Sprout also announced that Mandela grass held a lively and noisy dance party in the third greenhouse. It will not be long before they will be fully mature, and all petrochemical victims will be able to be cure. The continuous good news gradually made people happy. The little wizards also turned their attention back to the upcoming Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff Quidditch game.

Just when Schelling thought that such a dull day would last until May, the reality of deviating from the established trajectory slapped Schelling severely.

Most of Slytherin’s little snakes come from the wizarding families with profound backgrounds. Among them, the relationship between several ancient families has always been intertwined and intricate. These families are not only allies that support the concept of "pure blood supremacy", but they are also all kinds of struggles for power and profit. For the young successors, the family will start to inculcate all kinds of competition and the awareness of the weak and the strong from the childhood. At the same time, in the sorting ceremony of the Sorting Hat, careerists and conspirators with ambitions and plans are usually divided into Slytherin, which creates a peculiar phenomenon in which there are many factions in Slytherin and the weak and the strong.

Whether it was Draco borrowing the money of the Malfoy family to successfully occupy the Quidditch team's seeker position; or Schelling defeated the famous Harry Potter twice and succeeded in the little wizard of Slytherin Established popularity and fame; they were all regarded by other pure-blood children in Slytherin as the Malfoy family's intention to infuse Slytherin. Of course, with the current financial power and influence of the Malfoy family in the British political and business circles, not many forces dare to provoke the Malfoy family on the bright side, but some temptation is indispensable.

Among the pure-blood families, the Lestrange, Roach, and Black families were originally the most powerful, but in the Second Wizarding War, these three were also the most severely damaged as early birds-Lestrange’s The two brothers of the direct bloodline were both imprisoned; Ivan Roach died directly in the hands of Mad Eye Moody; the two brothers of the direct blood of Black were in prison, and UU reading www.ukanshu.com both died unclearly. . Except for Ivan Roach’s rumor that he left an illegitimate child far abroad, the blood of the other two families was almost severed. Fortunately, Lestrange found a tribe from the general branch and gave him his identity as an inheritance. Family; the Black family is much unlucky. The offspring of the rest of Black's branches are all daughters. As a result, Black's ancestral home has been reduced to an embarrassing situation where no one inherits.

In contrast, the families who knew how to protect themselves have retained a lot of strength. After the Death Eaters were liquidated, they took the opportunity to cannibalize and absorb the industries and markets vacated by the three families, plus the newly appointed Minister of Magic Fudge. Let it go, and as a result, these pure-blood families are slowly growing up. Among them, the most powerful is the Malfoy family. The poorly-populated Malfoy family even wooed the Gore family and the Crab family to become their own vassal families, and they also have a close alliance and cooperation relationship with the Parkinson family and the Bok family. Followed by the Avery family, the Knot family, and the Carlo family, these three families have preserved a lot of strength at the beginning, and after a lot of hard work, they believe that they are no less inferior to the Malfoy family.

Of course, Schelling also knows from Daphne that some less high-profile pure-blood families, such as the Greengrass family and the McMillan family, although these families do not often talk about pure-blood supremacy, their styles are not so perverse and extreme. These low-key families have also cultivated a powerful force in the dark. Take Greengrass, to which Daphne belongs, in the past few years it has quietly annexed some small, lesser-known families. Even the long-standing Shafik family was ultimately due to the relationship between Daphne and Meredith. Become a vassal of their family.
