Chapter 21： Hermione's Cry

Schelling, who had drunk the enchanting potion, realized that his magic power had risen sharply. Since the end of the Christmas holiday, he has spent no time every day, hiding in the space of Newt’s suitcase, practicing sophisticated and powerful spells.

In the past two months, he has successively practiced the "Wind Spinning Curse" and "Magic Flame Protective Curse", and practiced these two spells so that he can control the wind and direction of the former handily. The form and consciousness of the magical flame of the author.

The whirlwind curse is a very practical curse. In the Fantastic Beasts movie, Newt uses it as a repelling curse to blow enemies away is just one of its uses. Once you have mastered it well, you can finely control the wind. In harmony with the wind direction, a tornado can be sent out to roll the opponent up in the air, enjoying the feeling of turning the sky and the earth.

Mo Yan is also another very practical curse. In the Fantastic Animals movie, Grindelwald, who is surrounded by a group of people, uses the characteristics of Mo Yan to distinguish the target independently, and creates a circle around him that can distinguish between enemy and self. Only those who are completely loyal to him can cross the wall of fire, which is a bit of the Monkey King's circle of monsters in the oriental novel "Journey to the West". Demon Yan is very important for Schelling, who is interested in attracting followers, to allow him to distinguish true loyalty.

After learning these two spells, Xie Lin finally started to get in touch with the extremely difficult and dangerous "Fire Curse" and the corresponding counter-curse.

I have to say that the difficulty of the fierce fire spell is much higher than the spells I have learned before. Not only does it have extremely high requirements for magic power, but also has great requirements for the control power displayed by mental focus, otherwise it is easy to be affected by black magic. Backlash, there is no shortage of black wizards in history who practiced fiery spells to burn themselves to death.

(Note: The counter-curse of Li Huo curse is not "All curses are the end", but the magic used by the caster to manipulate and extinguish Li Huo. In the original book, Ron mocked Crabbe "not listening to them how to extinguish the fire. "This shows that the caster can extinguish Li Huo. Although Ron knows nothing about Li Huo, Hermione, who apparently knows Li Huo, did not object to this.)

That night, Xie Lin had just finished practicing the curse. He rubbed his sore shoulder and planned to suspend the practice of the curse. He went to the forbidden area of ​​the library to read some dark magic books at night.

Unexpectedly, because Schelling was in a state of invisibility, and because she was a little tired, she didn't pay too much attention to her surroundings. As a result, she ran into Hermione at the corner of the corridor and was full of running.

With Schelling’s physical fitness, such a collision is only a small matter for him, but it is different for her delicate body.

The book in Hermione's hand and her body were knocked over backwards.

Under the inadvertent nervous reaction, Schelling quickly grabbed Hermione’s wrist with one hand to hold her, so that she would not fall to the ground; the other hand was emptied into a claw and aimed at it. The big book flew into Xie Lin's hand with a flick of a grasp of the big book.

(This is not Qiao Feng’s ability to capture the dragon, laugh, it’s a curse without a stick!)

In the next second, the two suddenly heard the annoying voice of the administrator Filch from not far away, "Who is there! Damn student, wandering all day and night, let me catch you who have a good time." !"

Schelling grabbed Hermione's hand, and the two rushed in a tacit understanding, and the sound of Filch's footsteps from behind also showed the administrator's pursuit. The two of them ran to the abandoned girls' bathroom on the third floor and hid in. Schelling made a silent gesture to Hermione, took the wand and tapped them on them. The two became transparent in an instant. .

followed Filch and his cat who broke into the girl’s bathroom. They clearly stood in front of them, but turned a blind eye to them and could only leave in anguish. After leaving, he happened to meet Harry in a corridor looking for Hermione. Poor Harry turned around and fled. Filch cursed while chasing Harry.

After the rest of the catastrophe, Schelling and Hermione looked at each other, and Schelling realized that his left hand was still holding the girl's hand tightly. Sherring smiled awkwardly, let go of his hand, and asked to divert his attention: "Well, Miss Granger, can you tell me what happened?"

After running and tossing, Hermione realized that she seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness in the lounge. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, Malfoy, I'm fine."

Xie Lin looked at her still red and swollen eyes, inferred from the plot he knew, and guessed the whole thing. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't you tell me, let me guess. It can be so good and obeyed. The well-behaved Miss Granger couldn't help breaking the school rules and ran out for a night tour, maybe it was just those few things? Did you argue with a friend? Is it Potter or Wesley?"

Hermione looked at the boy in front of him with a surprised look. Although the boy's face was handsome but still looked immature, his tone of voice was so calm and confident, and he judged things very accurately.

She unconsciously gave birth to a feeling of trust in the boy in front of her, and couldn't help but confide: "It's Ron...he thinks Crookshanks—I mean my pet cat, who ate his pet rat spots. I got a good temper... Actually, I don’t know if Shaban was eaten, but Ron didn’t want to listen to me to explain… I don’t know why. I’m in a bad mood recently, so sad…"

Xie Lin chuckled: "Actually, I know where your problem is."

Hermione couldn't help but let out an "Ah", her eyes suddenly showed hope.

Schelling smiled and said, "You are too rational. Harry and Ron are just 13-year-old boys. Adolescent boys tend to lose their temper easily. Ron thought his pet had been eaten. But he would rather turn his face with a good friend than see him trying to find out the truth. It can be seen from this-in fact, whether Scabbard is dead or alive, he doesn't care at all. He cares about your attitude. He thinks you don't value his pets. He doesn’t pay much attention to his feelings, so anger erupts. Do you understand what I said?"

Hermione was shocked. Although her knowledge of gender psychology is very superficial, she, as a schoolmaster, can also distinguish Schelling's remarks with great truth.

Seeing that Hermione had listened to her words, Schelling continued: "As for your own emotional problems, it is because you have carried too many things on yourself, and have completely ignored your own mental and physical aspects. The ability to bear it."

"Don't rush to refute it," Schelling interrupted her when seeing Hermione want to say: "I heard that you took 12 courses this year. Although this is an excellent performance, such a heavy study is enough People are overwhelmed with breath. But you are better off, knowing that your academic work has been overloaded, you still have to worry about Harry, Ron and Hagrid..."

Hearing this, Hermione couldn’t help but feel aggrieved in her heart. Yeah, she was nosy and told Professor McGonagall that Harry received the Firebolt. It wasn’t for his good...

"By the way, I have heard about Hagrid. I heard that you are working hard to find information and write a defense statement for Hagrid. But the three good friends who originally said that they would help together, you were the only one left in the end. I'm fighting for this matter... Moreover, I don't think these things you have done make any sense at all. I'm afraid you know it in your own heart-Buckbeak has no chance of winning, and it will definitely die as a result of this hearing!"

Hermione's entire face turned red when she heard this, her hands clenched into fists, she wanted to retort loudly, she wanted to say loudly to the guy in front of him that he was wrong, but she couldn't say anything. Come.

Schelling saw Hermione look like that and waved his hand: "Okay, don't look at me with that kind of eyes. You should know that the so-called hearing is just a process. Behind this is actually the Ministry of Magic and Professor Dumbledore. A political game between the two, you know, many people in the Ministry of Magic actually don’t like Dumbledore, because he advocates friendly treatment to wizards of Muggle origin, so many wealthy pure-blood families want Take this to defeat Professor Dumbledore’s prestige. For the Ministry of Magic to be innocent on both sides, the most likely thing is to use Buckbeak as a scapegoat, so no matter what testimony you write, it will undoubtedly die."

Hermione suddenly remembered that the boy in front of her was a member of the Malfoy family. Isn't the Malfoy family the pure-blooded family he just mentioned? He is also the son of the hateful Mr. Malfoy, the younger brother of the annoying Draco, and he and Harry are rivals. Uukanshu.com didn't know why there was a faint feeling of loss and sadness in his heart, and a hint of anger suddenly appeared.

She closed her eyes and yelled loudly: "So? Are you saying these to dampen my fighting spirit and make me give up? Are you showing off the strength of your pureblood family? You are the same as Draco Annoy people!"

Schelling said indifferently, "You made a mistake-although I was born in the Malfoy family, I never thought that Muggle wizards should be inferior-what I just said was cruel The reality of, it’s up to you. Okay, let’s stop here for today’s conversation. I want to go back to the dormitory to rest, and you too, take advantage of the invisibility effect and Filch can’t see you. Go back!"

Xie Lin’s words came from his sincerity—pure blood is worthy of glory, but not because of the stupid bloodline, but because of the various inheritances left by the ancestors of the family. Xie Lin can grow so fast in strength, it is pure blood. Blood is cheap; however, this does not mean that Muggle wizards are doomed to do nothing.

Born does determine a person’s starting point, but Xie Lin knows well that in a long life, there are too many factors that can determine future destiny, such as character, talent, will, choice...

Xie Lin pays more attention to a person's character and ability than blood.

Unfortunately, he grew up in the infamous (in the eyes of Muggle wizards) the Malfoy family, and he was destined to say these things without convincing, so he didn’t bother to bother with Hermione—if you want to think so, then It's you!

After that, Xie Lin turned around cleanly and left.

Hermione opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't make a sound anyway when the words came to her lips, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart.
