Chapter 329: Studying a Course for Two Hours a Day, Is that a Lot? (Thank You for Being the Leader!)
If there is a holiday that Hogwarts students hate the most, Easter holiday is definitely at the top of the list.
The first reason is that this holiday, similar to Christmas, has nothing to do with wizards and the magical world.
For ordinary wizards, the Catholic witch hunt is an important part of the history of magic textbooks, and has always been considered the persecution of wizards by Muggles.
From this perspective, which wizard would be so stupid as to deliberately commemorate the birth and resurrection of an important leader of the opposing force?
The reason why wizards began to celebrate this festival was because a large number of Muggle wizards were absorbed into the magical world, so these two festivals were also brought into the wizarding community.
Of course, this reason is not important to the little wizards, no one cares at all.
After all, everyone has a lot of fun at Christmas, and few students hate Christmas because of its origins and are willing to go to class.
The most important reason why the Easter holiday ranks as the most hated holiday for little wizards is because it is so close to final exams.
Since the final exam is approaching, professors need to use some means to ensure that students do not get unprecedentedly low grades in their courses.
Assigning homework has always been a favorite trick of professors.
After the holiday, the students had not gained a few pounds, but they had written a lot of homework for each course.
Of course, there are no students who complain to professors, but professors will only smile kindly and reject students coldly.
In the words of Professor McGonagall, studying is the best rest, and their homework is an artifact that helps them rest.
After watching Transfiguration, wouldn't it be nice to change your mind and think about the ratio of the various raw materials in the Potions course, then review the spells in the Charms course to relax your mind, and finally pick up Transfiguration again?
Of course, they all say that after studying your own subject, you should look at other subjects to change your mind, but this is just superficial rhetoric.
In fact, professors are hinting or explicitly telling students to focus on their own subjects.
It seems that all the professors, including Professor Trelawney, have a consensus, that is, other courses are so watery and simple, don't they just have to have hands?
And only your own course is the key subject. Only by learning it well can you ensure that you will be worry-free for the rest of your life.
Professor Snape is a typical representative.
He bluntly told all the students in the last Potions class before the holidays for each grade that Potions was the most important course in the entire Hogwarts, even more important than all other courses combined. .
According to Professor Snape, you can successfully pass other courses by reading the textbook before taking the exam and get a high score.
Only the potion course can be passed through persistent study and repeated practical training.
In a word, don't let me find out that you don't study potions seriously!
However, professors are not always so strict. There is still some "kindness" in their hearts.
Like Professor Snape, who "only" assigned his students the Potions paper, which required two hours a day to complete.
"Is two hours a lot? There are twenty-four hours in a day, and two hours only accounts for one-twelfth of them."
Professor Snape repeated this sentence to all the students,
"You only need to spend two hours a day on my course!"
"This time is really short! I have been kind enough to you!"
Students really want to roll their eyes at this, after all, that’s what the professors in every class think.
The vast majority of students have seven required courses and at least two elective courses, plus eating, sleeping, washing...
Many students are eager to let the professor do the math in person. Is this enough time? Was your math taught by a physical education teacher?
Oh no, wizards don't take math classes, no wonder your math is so bad.
Of course, all the suffering has nothing to do with Harley.
Warriors themselves have the privilege of not having to complete homework and exams during the Six-wizard Tournament, and can even choose not to go to class when necessary.
What's more, Harry's level is obvious to all the professors.
For such outstanding students, it doesn't matter whether they write their own homework or not.
Anyway, with such good grades, writing this assignment is just a waste of time for Harley. Correcting her homework will also take time to get an "O".
But Harry, who is entitled to a full vacation, is not idle either. In fact, her life is busier than most students.
After two weeks of rest, Fleur began to prepare for the ultimate wizard level exam.
Although as a warrior in the Six-wizard Tournament, she was eligible not to take the school's final exam, but she still needed to take this internationally accepted wizard level exam.
And Hermione had already made a complete review plan for the final exam, and the plan was as accurate as every minute.
In her words, she has been decadent under Harley's bewitchment for so long, and it's time to roll up again!
Harley was very helpless, but she could only "painfully" spend time in the library with the two beauties.
In addition to spending time in the library, Harley also flexibly used all her spare time to process various alchemical materials.
And one night, after preparing all the materials, Harley finally succeeded in turning that piece of extraordinary properties into a magical item——
The back side shows deep darkness, while the front mirror is surrounded by a magic mirror of gray-white mist.
In order to reduce the negative effects of magical items as much as possible, Harley did not force the power of this extraordinary item to reach the level of a zero-level sealed item.
After all, when it reaches that level, the negative effects are no longer terrifying, and Hogwarts may be reduced to ruins at any time.
When it was finally completed, this magic mirror was at best equivalent to a top-notch first-class sealed object.
After some testing in the Forbidden Forest, Harley also figured out the abilities and negative effects of this magic mirror.
The abilities of this magic mirror include the "Darkness Control" of the Dread Bishop of Sequence 3 of the Path of Darkness and the "Grasp of Doom" and "Spiritual Body Control" of the Sequence 4 Night Watch.
When holding this magic mirror, the user can use the magic mirror to turn the night into his own power, and use the surge formed by the seemingly activated darkness to annihilate the target.
And if more magic power is consumed, the user can barely draw out the power of sleep and tranquility in the darkness.
If you are a true fear bishop, you can even use the power of pure sleep and tranquility to form an invisible blade or any image product for attack.
However, this magic mirror is just a magical item, so it cannot be operated in such detail.
In addition, this magic mirror can also forcibly impose a curse on other creatures, causing them to suffer misfortune.
Targets cursed by the "Grip of Doom" will have their luck greatly reduced invisibly, and will appear very unlucky no matter what they do.
Even when brewing a pot of the most common potion to cure boils, the wizard could cause a huge explosion.
The "spirit control" ability mastered by the magic mirror can cause special damage to the soul and control weaker spirits.
In addition to these three extraordinary abilities derived from the Night Path, the Magic Mirror also has an ability that combines the gray-white mist from the River of Eternal Darkness with the Night Path—
A double world in the mirror.
When using this ability, the gray-white mist in the mirror will forcefully drag the target into the mirror world of this magic mirror.
And in this mirror world, there is also a second dream world.
Creatures that are forcibly pulled into the mirror world will always be corroded by dreams.
As long as the target is slack, it may be pulled directly into the dream, and the body will temporarily lose protection.
This ability itself is extremely weird and difficult to guard against, and it can also be combined with the other three abilities of the magic mirror——
The spirits controlled by spirit body control can exist in this mirror world or in the second dream world in the mirror world.
The abilities of Dark Invasion and Doom Grasp can also take effect in the mirror world, and will become more powerful because they are on their home court.
More importantly, Harley made a surprising discovery after several attempts to release the clone——
I don't know if it was because I added an extra wand made of the extraordinary ability of the witch path when mixing the potion, and that wand contained a lot of Harley's blood.
Therefore, when entering this mirror world, I can easily avoid most dangers.
In this case, this magic mirror is more suitable for Harley's ability, even more suitable for Harley than some sequence zero sealed objects.
Of course, this magic mirror has great abilities, but its negative effects are also quite troublesome.
There are two negative effects of the magic mirror:
First, it makes it easier for those holding the magic mirror to become too calm, even to the point of losing their emotions.
If this calm state is maintained for too long, it may even be transformed into a statue forever with every organ in the body, including the brain and heart, in a silent state.
During combat, this negative effect will erode the magic mirror holder more than three times as fast.
Second, if a creature falls asleep around the magic mirror, there is a certain chance that the creature's consciousness will be pulled into the mirror world in the magic mirror, or even the dream world in the mirror world.
If there are multiple creatures sleeping around at the same time, the magic mirror's ability will take effect on the closest creature.
Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on the degree of danger in the mirror world and dream world.
As for trying to avoid the negative effects of mirrors by storing them separately, that's not possible either.
According to Harley's test, if the mirror is placed alone in an open space, there will be no living creatures within a circle with a radius of one hundred meters.
In less than fifteen minutes, this magic mirror will summon an extremely deep night in the surrounding open space, and the mirror world and dream world in the magic mirror will gradually erode the real world.
Harley even predicted that if this was ignored, the magic mirror would continue to gather the discrete extraordinary characteristics of the night path.
When the power of the magic mirror is strong enough and it is promoted to a zero-level sealed object on its own, it may even devour the Extraordinaries of the Night Path.
In this case, there is even a theoretical possibility that the magic mirror can erode the entire real world.
"But fortunately, the first negative ability of this magic mirror and the negative ability of controlling the glasses conflict with each other."
Harley made the confirmation after conducting some experiments,
"If the two are usually stored at a close distance, these two negative effects will cancel each other out."
"And as long as you try to use these two extraordinary items at the same time during battle, it won't have much impact."
"As for the second negative effect..."
To be honest, the second negative effect is what troubles Harley the most.
Although there is minimal danger when you are pulled into the mirror world, it will force you to wake up from a deep sleep.
This will greatly affect your ability to enjoy your beauty sleep and nap!
And what should I do if there is a little wizard who falls asleep around me while I am awake? Aren't they the ones who were pulled in by the magic mirror?
Sleeping in class is quite common at Hogwarts, especially in the History of Magic classes, so you have to guard against it.
Harley thought for a long time, and finally suddenly remembered the soul fragment from Senior Riddle that had helped her overcome many difficulties.
This soul fragment has helped me so much, and it has taken care of many factors that caused me to lose control.
Presumably Senior Riddle would not mind helping me again.
Also, he still holds the Ravenclaw diadem that was made into a Horcrux in his hand.
It is also suitable to use it to resist the negative effects of the magic mirror. After all, as Horcruxes and half-Horcruxes, the two have very strong immortality.
At least the negative effect of this magic mirror does not harm the spirit body as much as its extraordinary ability, and can barely maintain a balance with its recovery ability.
Senior Riddle must also be very happy when he sees that his soul fragment can play such a great role in helping the junior girl solve her headache.
As for whether the soul fragment can sleep, it is not important.
After all, Harley possesses a lot of curses and black magic, and has the ability to exert a small influence on these two defenseless soul fragments, allowing them to maintain an unlimited cycle -
"Enter sleep state -> Pulled into the mirror world and dream world -> Forced to wake up and suffer damage from the magic mirror -> Remembered by Harley and pulled out of the mirror world -> Enter sleep state... "
Overall, Harley is very pleased with this amazing item.
And this magic mirror was eventually named "The Night Mirror" directly by Harley. In terms of naming, The Ageless Witch, who has difficulty naming, is the one that is apt.
