Chapter 257 Walking Like Flying
As June approaches, the atmosphere in the castle becomes tense and exciting again.
Exam week is approaching, and everyone is reviewing for the exams and looking forward to the third competition that will be held on the day the exams end.
The exams will end on the day of the third project, and Ron and Hermione should have taken the time to review, but they spent a lot of energy helping Harry prepare.
"Don't worry," Hermione said unconcernedly when Harry pointed this out to them and said he could practice on his own for a while, "At least we can get high scores in the Defense Against the Dark Arts course. It's impossible to find so many spells in class."
"It's good training for us to be Aurors in the future." Ron said excitedly, trying the Obstruction Charm on a wasp that buzzed into the room, causing it to suddenly stop in mid-air.
"Don't worry!" Harry said confidently, "I am very confident that I can win this time. Don't forget that I am the winner with the highest score in the second project. And didn't Professor Moody also say that we passed the test of huge animals and magical obstacles in the first grade. For this kind of game, I can say that I am experienced-"
"This advantage..." Harry paused for a second, and a happy smile appeared on his face, "I don't believe that Malfoy has it." He clenched his fist and waved it in the air, "I will prove to everyone that I am the real warrior of Hogwarts!"
Harry practiced spells whenever he had free time.
Professor McGonagall always ran into Harry, Hermione and Ron practicing everywhere in the school, so she allowed them to use the Transfiguration classroom during lunch time.
Harry quickly mastered the Obstacle Spell, which can block attackers; the Shattering Spell, which can blow up solid obstacles; and the Directional Spell discovered by Hermione, which can make his wand point to the north, so that he can judge whether he is going in the right direction in the maze.
As for the Shield Charm, he had already mastered it during the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and he was even able to cast it instantly when Moody gave him some private lessons. At this moment, he was full of confidence and high spirits. He was already looking forward to the third project coming soon, and was immersed in the fantasy of the moment when he stepped on Shaylin Malfoy's head and raised the Goblet of Fire high.
Hermione looked at Harry's joyful look and wanted to remind him that Shaylin's strength had long surpassed these, but she was forced to hold back the words when they came to her lips -
She couldn't bear to break Harry's fantasy.
Since the day when Hermione almost had a conflict with Draco in the Care of Magical Creatures class this semester, Hermione has changed a lot, becoming more considerate and more considerate than before. She was considerate and could actually understand Harry's difficulties. Since Harry entered school, he has always been the focus of everyone's attention.
From the "boy who survived" at the beginning, to the "Quidditch ace seeker", and then the hero who won the house cup in the first grade, he was hung with one halo after another. Even in the potions class of Professor Snape, who hated him the most, he was still the focus of the professor and classmates. No matter how much he was ridiculed by Snape, it was better than those who were treated as invisible people.
However, everything changed from the second grade.
A dazzling new star rose in Slytherin College. He came suddenly and without any signs, and he happened to be a student in the same grade as Harry - he was the champion of the Merlin Tournament, the hero who killed the basilisk, the author of a best-selling book, and he was very handsome. He also openly slapped Harry in the face twice in the dueling club and the Slytherin common room. The halo around Harry was shattered all at once.
Harry went from being a young hero who was the focus of everyone's attention to a passerby who was ignored. Who can bear this contrast?
Therefore, Hermione could not say anything that would dampen Harry's ambitions at the moment.
Her eyes turned smartly, and she said, "Harry, you've practiced really well. I think you have a good chance of winning the championship--" She took out the list she had prepared and ticked off the spells they had learned. "Look, you have learned so many spells. I dare say that many sixth-grade students may not know as many spells as you..."
"Come and see," Ron said, standing in front of the window and looking at the field below, "What is Malfoy doing?"
Harry and Hermione hurried over to see, only to see Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle standing under the shade of the tree. Crabbe and Goyle seemed to be on guard, both of them grinning. Malfoy covered his mouth with his hand and spoke.
"He seems to be using a walkie-talkie," Harry said curiously.
"Impossible," Hermione said, "I told you that stuff doesn't work in Hogwarts. Come on, Harry," she said briskly, turning away from the window and walking to the middle of the room, "Let's practice some new spells. This time we'll learn the Explosion Spell, so you can blow up obstacles in the maze, how about that?"
"Ah?" A bean-sized drop of cold sweat ran down Ron's forehead.
The scene turned to Sherin's side.
Sherin was in a corner of the common room where no one dared to disturb him, leisurely flipping through the dark magic book he inherited from Ella's cottage.
Indeed, dark magic is no longer the field of magic he wants to focus on, but this does not prevent him from deepening his understanding of dark magic. After all -
"Understanding" does not mean "mastering" and "knowing how to use", but even if he does not know how to use it, he can have a better understanding of the methods of dark wizards and be able to know himself and the enemy.
Of course, if you want to do this, you must first make yourself strong enough, otherwise you will not be able to stop the enemy's methods even if you know them.
Xie Lin's strength is definitely strong enough. In this world, there may be wizards who can defeat him, but there are certainly not many; there are certainly no wizards who can pin him to the ground, crush him, and render him helpless!
During this semester, his most important gains were Professor McGonagall's "The Secret of Human Transfiguration" and "Abatale Transfiguration" given to him by Dumbledore, from which he realized the "Shape Transformation" "Si" is this trump card trick. The next harvest was Snape's magic research notes, the Nott family's "Alchemy Lock Encyclopedia", the Chinese Zhang family's "Phantom Clone", Luna's mother Pandora's curse notes, Slytherin's Snake Monument, and "The Fifth Element" given to him by Eleanor.
These magic books can be said to have completed their merits on the day when he mastered "phantom clone" and "weaponless flight" before his 15th birthday.
In other words, these books no longer have any value for him to continue studying.
Before he obtained a new inheritance, he was idle and could only take out the black magic books he had collected in the past and study them one by one. He got these books from the Secret Room of Malfoy Manor, the Secret Room of Old Brak House, and the Secret Room of Ella's Cabin. He had browsed through them briefly before, but had never seriously delved into the contents.
The Malfoy family has "Dark Potion" and "Fallen Creatures"; the Black family has "Advanced Dark Magic Revealed" and "Forbidden Transfiguration"; from Ella's cabin, he inherited "Deciphering the Secrets in the Shadows", "Body Attachment" "The Curse".
What he is holding now is "The Curse of Bones", which records various terrible curses, including those that attach to objects and cause instant death to those who touch them, and those that cast curses on a name from a distance. There are those who steal someone's flesh and hair to cast curses, and there are also those who cast curses on certain people's blood inheritance.
At this time, the watch on his right hand suddenly vibrated. He glanced at the surface of the watch. The hands with the name "Draco Malfoy" engraved on them began to rotate, and finally stopped. Xie Lin showed a happy smile——
The tip of the fixed needle points to "conspiracy and calculation."
It is estimated that at this time, Draco has already contacted Rita Skeeter and is providing material for the next short article that can disgust Harry.
Xie Lin stood up and left the common room, and quickly walked from the basement to the hall. In the blink of an eye, he had appeared at the gate of the castle. Along the way, several young wizards nodded politely to him, but they didn't say hello at all. People noticed that his feet were actually about an inch away from the ground, and they never touched the ground from beginning to end——
He is flying!
Schelling's weaponless flight can be used to control the body like an arm, flying all the time without sound, making flying no different from walking every day.
The purpose of this is certainly not to show off to readers. This will not only improve the efficiency of his daily walking and movement, but also replace physical energy consumption with magic power. It will also allow him to adapt to the flying posture and movement method more quickly.
You know, if daily movement is equal to flying, his dodge and move skills will have to be even better.
