Chapter 68 Hermione's Cry

After drinking the magic-enhancing potion, Schelling felt that his magic power had greatly increased. Since the end of the Christmas vacation, he spent time every day hiding in Newt's suitcase, practicing complex and powerful spells.

In the past two months, he has successively practiced the "Wind Whirlwind Curse" and the "Demon Flame Protective Curse", and practiced these two spells to the point where he can control the wind power and direction of the former, and the wind direction of the latter. The demonic form and consciousness of the person.

The Whirlwind Curse is a very practical spell. In the Fantastic Beasts movie, Newt used it as a repelling spell to blow enemies away, which is just one of its uses. Once you master it, you can control the wind in subtle ways. If the wind direction is gentle, it can completely trigger a tornado to roll up the opponent into the air, and enjoy the feeling of spinning around.

The magic flame is also another very practical spell. In the Fantastic Beasts movie, Grindelwald, who was surrounded by a group of people, used the magic flame's ability to distinguish targets autonomously, and transformed a circle around him that could distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. It is shaped like a wall of fire. Only those who are completely loyal to him can cross the wall of fire. It is a bit like Sun Wukong's demon-subduing circle in the oriental novel "Journey to the West". Mo Yan is so important to Xie Lin, who is determined to recruit followers, that he can distinguish true loyalty.

After learning these two curses, Xie Lin finally came into contact with the extremely difficult and dangerous "Fire Curse" and the corresponding counter-curse.

It has to be said that the difficulty of the Fierce Fire Curse is much higher than the spells I have learned before. Not only does it have extremely high requirements on magic power, but it also requires great control over mental concentration, otherwise it will be easy to be affected by black magic. Backlash, history is full of dark wizards who practiced the Fire Spell and burned themselves to death.

(Note: The counter-curse of the Fire Curse is not "All Curses Are Ended", but the magic used by the caster to control and extinguish the fire. In the original book, Ron mocked Crabbe for "not paying attention to what they said about how to put out the fire." "This shows that the caster can extinguish the fierce fire. Although Ron knew nothing about the fierce fire, Hermione, who obviously knew something about the fierce fire, did not object to this)

That night, Xie Lin had just finished practicing the Fire Curse. He rubbed his sore shoulders and planned to suspend the practice of the curse and go to the restricted book section of the library to read some black magic books at night.

Unexpectedly, because Xie Lin was in a state of invisibility and because he was mentally exhausted, he didn't pay too much attention to his surroundings. As a result, he bumped into the running Hermione at the corner of the corridor.

With Xie Lin's physical condition, such a collision was only a trivial matter to him, but it was different for the delicate Hermione.

The book in Hermione's hand was knocked backwards along with her body.

With an unthinking nervous reaction, Xuelin quickly grabbed Hermione's wrist with one hand and pulled her up to prevent her from falling to the ground; the other hand was held in a claw-like shape and aimed at the girl. Grabbing the big book from the air, the big book flew into Xie Lin's hands lightly.

(This is not Qiao Feng’s Dragon Capturing Skill, laugh. It’s a wand-less and silent summoning curse!)

In the next second, they suddenly heard the annoying voice of the administrator Filch coming from not far away, "Who is there! Damn students, wandering all day and night, let me catch someone who will have an easier time than you." !”

Sherrin grabbed Hermione's hand, and the two of them ran in perfect harmony, and the sound of Filch's footsteps coming from behind also showed that the administrator was in hot pursuit. The two of them ran to the abandoned girls' bathroom on the third floor and hid in it. Xie Lin made a silent gesture to Hermione, picked up the wand and touched the two of them, and the two of them became transparent in an instant. .

Filch and his cat followed him and broke into the girls' bathroom. They were clearly standing in front of them, but they turned a blind eye and could only leave in anger. After leaving, he happened to meet Harry who was looking for Hermione in a corridor. Poor Harry turned around and ran away, while Filch cursed and chased Harry away.

After surviving the disaster, Xie Lin and Hermione looked at each other, and Xie Lin realized that his left hand was still holding the girl's hand tightly. Sherrin immediately smiled awkwardly, let go of his hand, and asked to divert his attention: "Okay, Miss Granger, can you tell me what happened?"

After a lot of running and tossing, Hermione found that she seemed to have forgotten all the unpleasantness in the lounge. She shook her head and said, "Thank you, Malfoy, I'm fine."

Xie Lin looked at her eyes that were still red and swollen, and inferred from the plot he knew and guessed the whole thing. He smiled slightly and said: "If you don't tell me, let me guess, how can such an excellent and obedient person be allowed to do so?" The well-behaved Miss Granger couldn't help but break the school rules and go out for a night out. Is it because she had a fight with her friends? Was it Potter or Weasley? "

Hermione looked at the young man in front of her in surprise. Although the young man's face was handsome, he still looked immature, but his tone of voice was so calm and confident, and his judgment of things was very accurate.

She unconsciously felt a sense of trust in the boy in front of her, and couldn't help but confide: "It's Ron... He thinks that Crookshanks, I mean my pet cat, ate his pet rat Scabbers. He lost his temper with me... Actually, I don't know if Banban was eaten, but Ron didn't want to listen to my explanation at all... I don't know why, but I've been in a bad mood recently, so sad... "

Xie Lin chuckled and said, "Actually, I know where your problem lies."

Hermione couldn't help but say "Ah", and her eyes suddenly showed a look of expectation.

Xie Lin smiled and said: "You are too rational. Harry and Ron are just 13-year-old boys. Adolescent boys are always prone to lose their temper. Ron thought his pet was eaten. But he would rather fall out with his good friend than try to find out the truth. This shows that - in fact, he doesn't care at all whether Banban is dead or alive. What he cares about is your attitude. He thinks you don't value him. Pets don't pay attention to their feelings, so they burst out in anger. Do you understand what I'm saying? "

Hermione was stunned. Although her knowledge of gender psychology was very shallow, as a top student, she could tell that Schelling's words were very reasonable.

Seeing that Hermione had listened to what he said, Xie Lin continued: "As for your own emotional problems, it's because you put too many things on yourself, without taking into account your own mental and physical problems. affordability.”

"Don't rush to refute." Seeing Hermione hesitate to speak, Xie Lin interrupted her and said, "I heard that you have taken 12 courses this year. Although this is an excellent performance, such heavy studies are enough to put any person to the test. Everyone is overwhelmed. But you, knowing that you are already overloaded with academic work, still have to worry about Harry, Ron and Hagrid..."

Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance in her heart. Yes, she was nosy and told Professor McGonagall about Harry receiving the Firebolt. It was not for his own good...

"By the way, I've also heard about Hagrid's case. I heard that you were working very hard to help Hagrid find information to write a defense statement. However, the three good friends who originally agreed to help together, in the end, you were the only one left. You are fighting for this matter... What's more, I think what you are doing is completely meaningless, and you probably know it in your heart - Buckbeak has no chance of winning, and he will definitely die as a result of this hearing!"

When Hermione heard this, her whole face turned red, and her hands clenched into fists. She wanted to retort loudly, and wanted to tell the boy in front of her loudly that he was wrong, but she couldn't speak. Come.

Seeing Hermione's look, Sherlin waved his hands and said, "Okay, don't look at me like that. You should know that the so-called hearing is just a process. Behind it is actually a process between the Ministry of Magic and Professor Dumbledore. A political game between the To use this matter to undermine Professor Dumbledore's prestige, the Ministry of Magic's most likely choice is to use Buckbeak as a scapegoat, so no matter what testimony you write, he will definitely die."

Hermione suddenly remembered that the boy in front of her was from the Malfoy family. Wasn't the Malfoy family the pure-blood family he just said? He is also the son of the abominable Mr. Malfoy and the brother of the abominable Draco. He is the sworn enemy of himself and Harry. For some reason, he suddenly felt a touch of loss and sadness in his heart, and even a hint of anger. .

She closed her eyes and roared loudly: "So? Are you just saying these words to demoralize me and make me give up? Are you showing off the strength of your pure-blood family? You are the same as - and Draco It’s so annoying!”

Xie Lin didn't take it seriously and said with an indifferent face: "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 just It's a cruel reality. It's up to you whether you want to or not. Okay, that's it for today's conversation. I want to go back to the dormitory to rest, and so do you. While the invisibility effect is still there and Filch can't see you, go back as soon as possible. !”

Xie Lin's words came from the bottom of his heart - pure blood is certainly worthy of honor, but not because of the stupid bloodline, but because of the various inheritances left by the family's ancestors. Xie Lin's ability to grow so fast is because he has Pure blood is cheap; however, this does not mean that Muggle wizards are doomed to achieve nothing.

One's origin does determine one's starting point, but Xie Lin knew clearly that in a person's long life, there are too many factors that can determine one's future destiny, such as character, talent, will, choices...

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

Unfortunately, he grew up in the notorious Malfoy family (in the eyes of Muggle wizards), which meant that his words were unconvincing, and he was too lazy to talk to Hermione. If you want to think so, then It's up to you!

After saying that, Xie Lin turned around and left neatly.

Hermione opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, no sound came out, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in her heart.
