Malfoy Rise at Hogwarts

Chapter 58 September Lesson
During this period, Schelling's homework and studies did not drop at all. This semester's charm class focuses on spiritual magic, which is the field that Schelling is best at. With Schelling's in-depth study of "Abatere Volume One" and Malfoy's family spells, the spiritual magic can be said to be easy to use in Schelling's hands, and it can be swayed freely without any difficulty.

During the activities of the Charms Club, Schelling published a research paper on using the Happy Charm to enhance the power of the Patronus Charm. The perspective of this paper is very novel, and even Professor Flitwick is full of praise.After obtaining Schelling's consent, the paper was revised by Professor Flitwick, and the two jointly published it on "Spell Innovation".

Unexpectedly, this paper caused great repercussions in the academic circles—the chairman of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance, Ulyssy Hicksted, wrote a letter to Schelling, expressing that the alliance was willing to buy all the research notes related to this in Schelling's hands, and in addition to paying a considerable amount of Galleons, it would also grant Schelling the qualification of an honorary member of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Alliance;

Gulana Cropatra, the president of the European Federation of Wizards in the Middle Ages, was not far behind. She issued a higher amount of Galleons and at the same time awarded the "Wizard Scholar Contribution Award" medal. This medal not only gave Schelling the right to enter the library of the Federation's headquarters in Sardinia, but also won a place in the "All-European Duel Competition".

The All-European Dueling Competition was sponsored by a mysterious organization called "Silver Spear". The Silver Spear was a secret dueling club in the 18th century. It was said that it was organized by a group of dueling enthusiasts. The wands of the four founders were all made of aspen wood. Therefore, the early organizations had very strict recruitment conditions for members. Only wizards who used aspen wands were eligible.

By the middle of the 20th century, the Silver Spear relaxed the membership requirements, and anyone who had an outstanding performance in any international level duel competition might be invited to join the Silver Spear.Although I don't know the specific benefits of joining the Silver Spear, Schelling knows that many famous wizards are flocking to it, so it is not difficult to speculate that there must be unexpected benefits.

Schelling thought over and over again, and consulted Professor Flitwick and Lucius on this issue, and finally chose to accept the conditions of the Medieval European Federation of Wizards.It was mainly because of the quota for the All-European Dueling Tournament that attracted Schelling. With this quota, Schelling could save Schelling the lengthy time of participating in the selection process. Moreover, Professor Flitwick was also looking forward to Schelling's performance in the Duel Tournament. For this reason, he specially gave Schelling the duel experience notes he wrote when he was young.

This notebook is full of exclusive spells and dueling techniques that he developed by himself. As a former dueling champion, his notebooks are obviously very precious.

And this semester's transformation class focuses on the transformation of dead objects into small animals. The topic Professor McGonagall gave was turning a teapot into a turtle——Scheerling could do it as early as last semester when he took Merlin's test. Therefore, Professor McGonagall directly exempted Schelling from all homework, and only required Schelling to participate in the activities of the Transformation Club every week.

Incidentally, Schelling has two more papers selected for publication in Transfiguration Today. The readers of "Transfiguration Today" are not limited to the British wizarding world, and now Schelling has begun to gain a little popularity on the international stage.Some well-known figures in the field of metamorphology also wrote letters to give him some advice and guidance for this rising star with full potential, such as the Chinese metamorphosis master Zhang He.

Zhang He's ancestor was the famous Zhang Guo in the Tang Dynasty, who left behind the legend of "Zhang Guo Lao" in the Muggle world, but in fact he was a wizard, and his best skill was the transfiguration technique of turning pieces of paper into living donkeys.

Xie Lin benefited a lot from his communication with him, and the two became friends who admired each other through frequent correspondence. Zhang He also specially gave Xie Lin a copy of the secret book of transfiguration in the Chinese wizarding world, "Hundred Variations and Thousand Illusions".

Potions class this semester is quite difficult, apart from the shrinking potion in the first week of school, another interesting potion class is Confusing Concoction.

The ingredients of the Confusion Potion are sneezeweed, scurvy and lovage, all of which are herbs that can heat up the brain. After drinking it, the effect is similar to that of being under the Confusion Curse, but it is better than the Confusion Curse.In addition to affecting thinking ability, the confusion potion can also affect emotions, making the user become reckless and impulsive. As long as it is used properly, it can definitely reap miraculous effects.

Schelling knew that Snape had a good personal relationship with his father Lucius, so he often went to Professor Snape to ask some advanced potion questions in private, such as why Neville's shrinking potion can make creatures return to their childhood state. Can this be applied to humans to keep people young?As another example, what's the difference between a potion of insanity and an Essence of Insanity, even though both are designed to confuse the mind and make people make bad decisions?

Snape was different from his usual aloof personality. Well, although he still had a cold face, at least he patiently explained these advanced contents to Schelling one by one, and he didn't express any objection because Schelling learned ahead of time.

What surprised Schelling the most was that Snape also gave Schelling the Potions experience he wrote in his student days, which contained his notes when he was preparing for the OWL level exam. Although it was not as powerful as "Half-Blood Prince's Potion Notes", it was very practical for Schelling at the current stage.

Xie Lin even saw many improvements to the potion preparation steps in the textbook. If this knowledge is spread outside, it may cause a lot of trouble in the potion world.

Snape had seen Schelling's potential as early as last semester in the Dueling Club, and his senior Lucius, who had a good relationship with him, also asked him to take care of the Malfoy twins in several letters.

Fortunately, Draco said that Schelling was too good. In the first grade, McGonagall and Flitwick were the first to accept him as a favorite student. Although he also had that intention, but he was used to maintaining a high-cold personality.Now that Xie Lin took the initiative to ask him for advice, he was relieved.

No one really likes Care of Fantastic Beasts class.After an exciting first class, this class becomes particularly tedious.Hagrid seemed to have lost heart.Now, they take lesson after lesson on how to care for Flobber caterpillars.

The Flobberworm is a 10-inch, toothless brown worm.This creature loves lettuce, but it actually eats just about any plant.This kind of course content is completely meaningless, because they like to be alone, do nothing, and don't need too much care. Feeding blindly will cause them to eat too much and die.

Not only the little Snakes in Slytherin were complaining in agony, but Ron, who had a good relationship with Hagrid, also complained frequently.

This semester's herbal class focuses on caring for Puffapods, a magical plant that grows plump pink pods from its branches.The task of the little wizard is to peel off the pink pods, take out the shiny beans inside, and put them in a wooden barrel.These beans are very sensitive and will bloom immediately if they hit a solid object.

During this process, Schelling found that his strength and agility did not bring him much advantage, but it was more important to be able to maintain stable gestures without trembling for a long time.

In this regard, girls will have an advantage.Murray shared her know-how with Schelling. She usually loves embroidery, knitting, and painting, so her wrists can deftly exert force without shaking the beans out accidentally.Under the guidance of Murray, Schelling, Daphne and Meredith also gradually realized the essentials.

The lavish Gore and Crabbe were tragic—they spilled beans on the ground of the greenhouse more than once, and the beans on the ground bloomed instantly before their eyes.Although the blooming flowers were very bright and beautiful, Professor Sprout's flushed face was not good-looking, which caused Slytherin to be deducted points, and Goyle and Crabbe were also imprisoned.

Schelling's performance in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was also remarkable. Professor Lupine did not dare to underestimate this student who was able to confront two dementors head-on, and Schelling lived up to expectations and showed his dazzling strength in class.

The first lesson of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was Boggarts, and Schelling easily turned Boggarts into smiling faces; the second lesson was red hats, and Schelling didn’t know how many of them had been dealt with in the Forbidden Forest; the third lesson was Japanese kappa, also called Kappa, a reptile that lives in water. It looks like a monkey with scales and webbed hands.

This is not a problem for Schelling. Kabbah, like the red hat, can only create danger when the wizard is unsuspecting, so just use a "trace and reveal" spell to detect Kabbah's existence before going into the water, and then use a drying spell to dry the water on Kabbah's skull, and it will be enough to scare it away.

Schelling's favorite class is alchemy.Professor Ibinos Bock is a retired elderly alchemist from the ancient Bock family. His alchemy knowledge is very solid and extensive, and he also has a weird temper like a scientist. He is strict and serious when teaching.

He was willing to go out to teach this time, and it was Lucius who exchanged favors from an adult, and he specified that he only taught Schelling's grade, unlike other professors who were responsible for teaching students in the seventh grade.

Due to the small number of people, the alchemy class was taught by the four colleges together.

Perhaps because Professor Bock came from Lucius, the students in the alchemy class were basically Slytherin. Under the call of Schelling, all the third-year Slytherin students took this course; there were only two students in Hufflepuff, Ernie McMillan and Susan Burns; Ravenclaw had four students, Michael Kona, Terry Boot, Murray McDougal and Lisa Dupin.

There were no Gryffindor students. I heard that the relationship between the alchemy class and the Malfoy family had already been spread in Gryffindor, so most people were not interested—maybe the exception was Hermione, who was thirsty for knowledge, but she resolutely chose to give up this class in order to take care of her friend Ron's mood.In fact, she was overwhelmed after taking 12 courses, which was one of the reasons why she gave up alchemy.

The content of the alchemy course is not as exciting as imagined. The students have neither the opportunity to practice alchemy nor the legendary alchemy items.

On the contrary, the alchemy knowledge taught by Professor Bock is a very basic theory—starting from the alchemy theory of ancient Egypt, one must not only have a deep understanding of celestial phenomena and geology, but also memorize the characteristics of various magic substances and magic metals; then it is derived from the theory of the conversion of matter and magic power proposed by European alchemists in the Middle Ages.

This knowledge sounds boring and seems to have no practical use, but it is just right for Schelling.

Schelling's own alchemy was learned directly from Nicole Flamel, the most powerful alchemist since centuries.It's a pity that Nicole is not a good teacher. What he has learned is so profound that it takes Schelling to ponder for a long time before he understands the principle behind every word and principle he said.

Not to mention, the legacy that Nico left to Schelling—the alchemy notes in LeMay's address book are the experiences that Nico recorded in his daily life. They have never been systematically sorted out, and they look very scattered and messy.There is a lot of content in it that Schelling is so confused that he has to ask Nicole Flamel several times to be able to figure it out.

Hogwarts' alchemy courses just made up for Schelling's weak foundation. By systematically relearning the basics of alchemy, many puzzles in the past suddenly became clear.

Schelling did not forget his promise to Daphne, and when he had spare time, he gave Astoria homework advice and gave her some academic help, making Astoria the most dazzling student in the first grade, and the relationship between Schelling and Astoria gradually became familiar.

　I don't want to write about the process of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, there are already stereotyped Boggart classes on the Internet, except that it can be used to show off the protagonist's Occlumency, it can only be written in water.
