Chapter 15 [Internal Competition Is a Prohibited Item in the Dormitory]
Roommates were still asleep, and Rock was embarrassed to make some loud noises to wake them up.
So he cast a spell on himself first - the Silencing Spell.
The effect of the Silencing Spell is to make a creature lose its voice, and the loss of voice here generally means that it cannot speak.
The scope of application is also in the battle with the "Disarm Us" spell, or against certain magical creatures.
For example, there is a magical creature called the Evil Bird, whose chirping will make people who hear it lose their minds, so each bird needs to be cast with the Silencing Spell before it can be sold.
But this is a common application, spells are not rigid, and Rock is not an ordinary wizard.
He can extend the Silencing Spell to his own behavior, not just targeting the sound.
After casting this spell, Rock does not need to move forward cautiously like in Tom and Jerry. He only needs to do his own thing boldly without worrying about waking others.
Although the effect is not perfect, there will basically be no big noise.
The original intention of this spell improvement was that Rock wanted to use it with the Disillusionment Charm to explore Hogwarts.
Rock is also planning to find out if there is a spell to eliminate odors, so that the Disillusionment Charm will be more effective.
The wizards in Hogwarts are good at this, and their wishes come true.
Magic power is the authority of wizards. The stronger the authority, the higher the authority. It is not uncommon to change the effect of spells or create spells.
Snape created spells and improved many potion formulas during his school years.
Rock felt that he was at least not worse than Snape.
"Let me see today's class..." Rock picked up the class schedule that the class leader sent last night.
In addition to the class schedule, there are various holidays, breakfast, lunch, dinner and other open hours, as well as curfew times for each grade.
The overall course schedule of Hogwarts is very similar to that of the university in the previous life. When the grade is higher in the future, there will be elective courses.
The only difference is probably the arrangement of class time. Classes here start at 9 or 10 in the morning, and breakfast is open at around 8 o'clock.
If there is no class in the morning, you can stay in the dormitory and sleep in.
But there is no lunch break at noon. Rock only found out after he went to work in the Magic City in his previous life that lunch breaks are really not popular in some places.
It was quite difficult to adapt at first, but I got used to it later.
As for the dinner at Hogwarts, because some courses are held in the evening, the dinner service time is the longest.
After dinner, if there is no class, this is probably the last free time for the little wizards at night.
Because Hogwarts has a curfew, the little wizards are at 9 o'clock, and the seniors are later at around 10 o'clock. The class leader is responsible for catching night wanderers.
The curfew does not force you to turn off the lights, but you can't come out of the common room.
If you want to study all night or party all night, or even not sleep, it doesn't matter, just don't run around.
Rock continued to look at the schedule, and felt that the little wizard's classes were quite easy, at least the holidays were enough.
"There are no classes scheduled on Friday afternoon, so it's considered an extra half day off."
Hogwarts has a classic three-term system, with Christmas and Easter holidays in between, and you can go to Hogsmeade to play after the third year.
There are also dinners on holidays and the beginning of school. From this point of view, the little wizard is indeed living a comfortable life.
"But Wednesday is a bit of a pit..."
There is an astronomy class from 9 pm to the early morning on Wednesday with Gryffindor. It's okay to go until the early morning, but the class on the second day is still in the first period, and you have to get up early.
"This morning, I have a herbology class with Slytherin..."
Rock looked at the course schedule and guessed Slytherin's schedule.
Slytherin probably has a Transfiguration class with Gryffindor in the first period in the morning, and will change classrooms to take a herbology class with Ravenclaw in the second period.
There was no rush for the second period. After washing up, he would study for a while, and then go to the hall for dinner...
With the blessing of the Silencing Charm, Rock was not worried about waking up his roommates.
He washed up normally, and then changed into the wizard robes of Hogwarts.
Then Rock opened "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi", which was the textbook of Herbology. He planned to preview it before class.
The already slight sound of turning pages was even more inaudible under the influence of the Silencing Charm.
"Huh? Is that Rock? Are you studying?"
I don't know what triggered the switch, but his roommate Anthony slowly opened his sleepy eyes, and he kept yawning.
Rock's body stiffened suddenly, no way? Such a little noise could wake him up.
"Who? Who is studying?"
Terry and Michael also sat up immediately, even though they didn't even open their eyes at this time and were wearing nightcaps on their heads.
Rock seemed to understand.
He removed the silencing spell, turned around and tapped the wizard chess on the board twice.
"No, I'm playing wizard chess."
"Oh."
With a bang, the three of them immediately fell on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.
No?
It's really because of the noisy game sounds that you fall asleep peacefully, and the faint sound of turning pages keeps you awake all night, right?
Rock looked at the time. It was about 7:10 now. It wasn't too early to get up, but it was indeed not even breakfast time, and he couldn't wake up his roommate directly.
He had high mental strength and good sleep quality, and he was well slept, but his roommate was not.
Then I can only study in the common room first.
Rock took his books and walked out of the dormitory.
…
Hermione walked down the stairs with her schoolbag and came to the common room.
Today is the first class, she must leave a good impression on the teacher, so she has to "review" seriously.
And Hermione is also a little worried, what if her new friend Rock sleeps late?
So she plans to study in the common room first. If Rock sleeps late, she can go to Rock's dormitory later and ask Rock to go to class together.
Because girls can go to the boys' dormitory in Hogwarts, but as soon as boys step on the stairs of the girls' dormitory, the stairs will become a slide.
Rock felt a figure passing in front of him, and when he looked up, he found that it was Hermione.
"Morning, Hermione." Rock greeted the brown-haired otter.
Hermione: "Well, good morning... huh?"
Perhaps because she just woke up, Hermione hadn't come back to her senses before she realized that Rock was sitting here.
Hermione suddenly looked at Rock in surprise: "What time did you come?"
"I just arrived too." Rock said while looking at a half-opened book.
Hermione looked around and found that it was worthy of being Ravenclaw. There were already many students studying in the common room.
However, many of them were fifth-year students, because they had to face the O.W.L. exam, which is the so-called Ordinary Wizarding Level exam.
Thinking of O.W.L., Hermione thought of the flying spell that Rock cast on the train. The other party said that it was also one of the test points of the O.W.L. exam.
It's really scary...
It's only the first year...
Hermione felt like she was going to be suffocated.
She hadn't seen the outstanding students from other colleges yet, and she was really afraid that she would be the worst one.
So Hermione immediately opened the Herbology textbook in her hand and began to review hard.
Rock raised his head slightly, although he had turned off Legilimency in the dormitory before.
After all, he was not very skilled, but Hermione had so many thoughts flashing through her mind just now that Rock still subconsciously heard her thoughts.
It turns out that control is something that still needs to be practiced diligently.
