Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 72 The Weasleys
In fact, John has always been interested in Gilderoy Lockhart.

Although Gilderoy Lockhart has always been so vain, he is a Ravenclaw graduate after all.

When he graduated, it must not be like now, except for the forgetting curse, other spells cannot be released smoothly.

So John really wanted to figure out the mystery, whether the other party's behavior affected his own magic, or the blood in his body caused it, or it involved the soul.

At the same time, Lockhart is also an important experimental material for the legendary value of John's experiment.

Before being exposed as a liar, John estimated that Gilderoy Lockhart also had a fairly high legend value, so is his conductive connection with the world very strong?
After all the lies constructed with the Oblivion Curse are exposed, will his legend value drop, and will his conductive connection with the world disappear?
Or because of the subsequent birth of notoriety, the opponent's legendary value will rise again, and will the conductive connection with the world appear again?
And what is the difference in the legendary value of these two births of different fame? These are questions that John is interested in.

After all, compared to the kind Hal world, the main world is a bit hard and soft. Even now that John has become the last student of Nicole Flamel, he has created an alchemy prop that can make Squibs perform magic. He and the main world The legendary value is still not strong.

John guessed whether he had to spread his name widely. After all, only Principal Dumbledore and several other old wizards knew that he became a student of Mr. Nicole Flamel.

When John was thinking about the second year and how to get in touch with Lockhart, Ron was pulled away to help, and the seat became vacant, so Harry could sit next to John.

"John...I have never said thank you to you...I know that when you were in the secret room, you knocked me out, you saved me, and you defeated Quirrell."

Harry lowered his voice, with guilt and relief on his face, because he always felt that he had robbed John of the glory that should have belonged to John. Even though John didn't care, it didn't mean he could accept it with peace of mind.

John could clearly feel Harry's emotions and see Harry's thoughts clearly.

In this regard, John smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, Harry, in fact, you don't need to care so much, I am willing to give you this honor."

"But...I..." Harry said anxiously, but was interrupted by the raised hand of the other party.

"Don't dwell on the past, Harry." John took a sip of tea and said casually, "If you really feel guilty, then you should study hard from now on, and strive to become a wizard worthy of this honor."

"As I said on the train, Harry, you are actually a very good little wizard. Don't doubt your talent. In fact, even without me, I believe you can defeat Quirrell."

John's dragon eyes shone with wisdom in Harry's eyes, and Harry's mind was constantly churning with various emotions. At this moment, he felt so uneasy and uneasy as if he had returned to the day when he knew he was a wizard.

Subconsciously, Harry asked, "Can I really?"

"Harry, you need to know that the more you believe in yourself and in magic power, the more you can perform magic." John said seriously, "And as I said, your talent is actually not bad."

"Just like you inherited your talent for Quidditch from your father, so why don't you trust a little bit of the talent your mother gave you? You are a continuation of your parents in this world, and I think they would like to see You make good use of your talents to become even better, don’t you?”

Hearing these words, Harry's heart was finally touched.

Yes, I can't let my parents down, I want to be good, good enough to make everyone feel worthy of being their children!
Looking at Harry, who was full of fighting spirit, John drank another sip of tea with deep merit and fame.

It was also at this time that Ron's shout was heard from outside the window.

"Dad is back!"

I saw Arthur Weasley rushing into the room like a gust of wind, slumped on the kitchen chair, took off his glasses, and drank the tea in the teacup in front of him.

Then with his eyes closed, he leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to meditate.

Mrs. Weasley, who followed in, smiled apologetically at John, who waved his hand indifferently to express his understanding.

After resting for a long time, Arthur Weasley finally regained his strength, tidied up his somewhat messy clothes, and smiled apologetically at John.

"I'm really sorry, Williams, I was the one who invited you, but I kept you waiting, I'm really sorry"

"It's all right, Uncle Weasley, I can understand that things at work are more important."

John actually admired Arthur Weasley. As a husband and a father, he supported a family with his own salary, and tried to meet the needs of each child as much as possible.

As for his own needs, he subconsciously ignored them.

You must know that various potions refined by wizards can solve the problems that most middle-aged people will face.

Is Arthur Weasley willing to give up?Surely not the case, as long as a bottle of potion, this problem can be solved?

But why doesn't he do it?That was naturally because the other party didn't care about his own needs and gave everything to the family.

Even his hobby of Muggle objects didn't cost a lot of money, and most of the Muggle objects he collected were scraps he picked up.

Even the modified flying car is made of an Anglia 1959E produced by Ford in 105.

And according to the standards of scrapped cars in Europe at that time, and the fact that this type of car was originally a cheap car, the materials were basically the most substandard, so John had reason to believe that Mr. Weasley had stolen this car from the scrap yard in the first place. .

It can be seen from this that Arthur Weasley is actually a very talented wizard. He not only taught himself to understand the structure of the car, but also used the simplest materials to transform the speeding car into a self-aware alchemy item.

Doesn't the other party have a dream of his own?With his talent and sufficient funds, he will surely become a master alchemist in the future.

But he resolutely chose to give up his dream and return to his family.

At the same time, in the future, he did not choose to stifle the children's right to pursue their dreams, for example, he agreed that the Weasley twins dropped out of seventh grade to start their own businesses.

Didn't he realize that if the Weasley twins failed, things would be even worse at home?
He knew it well, but he still resolutely agreed to the request of the Weasley twins and supported their cause.

"Let's go, John." Arthur Weasley, who had enough rest, stood up and greeted John with a smile.

John stood up and followed Arthur Weasley into the outdoor shed where he usually studied Muggle items.

After John left, Ron moved closer to Harry, his tone full of disbelief.

"Harry, do you know? I just learned from my mother why John came to my house. It was because John went to the Ministry of Magic to verify the alchemy props he made a few days ago, and chatted with my dad for a while."

"Moreover, John also made a deal with the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, and they can earn up to this amount of Galleons."

Ron compared the values, and Harry also had a surprised expression on his face. He knew that John was excellent, but he didn't expect it to be this good.

When others are still in school, John can already make money from knowledge, and it's not a small amount of money.

It was night soon, and during this period, Harry and the others could hear Mr. Weasley's laughter and discussions from time to time, and it sounded like the other party was very excited at the moment.

If it weren't for the fear of the dinner being cold and making the guests hungry, Mrs. Weasley would not have personally gone to the shed to invite Arthur Weasley out, terminating this possibly endless exchange involving alchemy.

At the dining table, John was enthusiastically arranged on the seat on his right by Arthur Weasley.

At this moment, except for the eldest brother Bill, who works as a spellbreaker at Gringotts, and the second brother Charlie, who works at the Romanian dragon farm, all the members of the Weasley family are now present.

Because of this, John saw the future school girl, Harry's future wife, and also remembered the little girl who was confused by Voldemort's notebook in the future-Ginny Weasley.

She has the unique reddish-brown hair of the Weasley family, which is as smooth as milk, and the brown pupils inherited from her mother, Molly Weasley, are piercing, and her fair skin glows slightly under the light, looking full of youthful vitality.

But at this moment, because of Harry's presence, the lively girl blushed because of the emotion in her heart, and the blush was like the morning glow in the sky.

But John just glanced at Ginny for a moment and then looked away. Compared to admiring the beautiful girl, John would rather taste the delicacies made by Mrs. Weasley and discuss alchemy with Arthur Weasley.

The dinner was so enjoyable that both Arthur Weasley and Mrs. Weasley were a little bit reluctant when John was about to leave.

"John, the door of Weasley's house is always open to you, and you are welcome to come here as a guest at any time." Mrs. Weasley said to John with a smile.

"I would love to, Mrs Weasley," John replied, smiling.

Arthur Weasley gave John the copy of the alchemy notes he had sorted out, hoping that he would come to visit him at any time, or write to him to exchange knowledge on alchemy.

Although Harry and Ron were also a little bit reluctant, they also smiled after making an appointment with John to go to Diagon Alley to buy school items.

However, during this period, John noticed that the Weasley twins had been wanting to say something to him, but they were concerned about the presence of their parents, so they kept winking at John.

It's a pity that their expressions were so incomprehensible that John couldn't understand them for a long time.

He wanted to use Legilimency to see what they meant, but Harry, Ron, and Ginny all noticed because their facial movements were too obvious.

Then they were all amused by the look on the faces of the Weasley twins.

Perhaps it was because John was a guest, and the Weasley twins were still so funny, which made Mrs. Weasley feel a little embarrassed, so she glared at them fiercely.

As if they were afraid of arousing their mother's anger again, the Weasley twins stopped completely, went back to their room after a quick meal, and did not reappear even after John left.

After saying goodbye to everyone, John walked into the darkness along the path he had come from.

After walking to a distance where you are sure you will not be seen, turn the ring to release the night devil.

With the sound of the night devil flapping its wings, John and the night devil merged into the dark night sky and disappeared.
