The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 66 Cognitive Intervention
Although she felt a little regretful that her brother could not taste the troll meat, Shanna also had a new surprise discovery, that is, 'Hogwarts looks very interesting'.

After all, the trolls are wandering around in the castle, so if you encounter them, you have to fight, right?When you fight, you have to break something, right?Even if a few innocent people are affected or something, it is normal, right?No one should blame a cute little witch for this, right?
That's fun!

……

According to the principle of relativity, happy days will always pass quickly.So when Bell reacted, he realized that it was time to go back to school.

'Oh my God!I'm already over 40, why do I still have to go to school!There is no end! '

Bell deeply felt the malice of this world.However, no matter how Bell plays and rolls, it can't change the fact that school has started.

Estimating the time, I felt that the Hogwarts Express train should arrive at Hogwarts Station, so Bell bid farewell to Shanna and returned to Hogwarts using 'Apparition'.

After waiting at the station for a while, the train pulled into the station.A group of little wizards got off the train one after another.They looked at Bell standing on the platform strangely, wondering why he was staying in the castle uncomfortably at night, why did he come here to blow the cold wind?

Bell soon saw Hermione.He went up to greet her and said hello, "Hermione, how was your vacation?"

"Very happy!" said Hermione.Then she lowered her voice again.

"Bell, did you come back from 'Apparition'? I checked it on the 'Personal Terminal' when I was on vacation, and it said that 'Apparition' can only be used after adulthood and a certificate. You still don't want it." Use it casually, if you are seen, you will be arrested!"

"Don't worry, you can't 'apparate' at all when you stay in Hogwarts, and I rarely use it outside, so I won't be discovered."

Looking at the suitcase Hermione was pulling, Bell waved his wand and reduced it to the size of a book, and handed it to Hermione.

"Thank you." Hermione thanked, "Bell, your sister is so cute. I'm the only one in my family, and I really want a brother or sister."

"Maybe you can discuss it with your parents? At their current age, it shouldn't be a problem to have another child, right?"

"I have told them, but I was rejected. Every time they talk about career, rising period, etc., anyway, I don't understand. In short, they just refuse to give me a brother or sister. !"

Hermione was very dissatisfied with her parents' lack of cooperation, so what career or something, is it fun to have little brothers and sisters?Are there cute little brothers and sisters?Do they have it! ?Certainly not!I really don't know what they are thinking.Even though they are so smart, how could they be so stupid as their parents! ?

"Perhaps you can quietly add some innocuous potions to their food? Do you want me to recommend some for you?" Bell gave Hermione a bad idea.

It could be seen that Hermione was a little moved.It seems that the little witch really wants a little brother or little sister.But in the end, reason prevailed, and she rejected Bell's proposal.

The two of them got into the carriage pulled by thestrals.Because there were only two people, the Thestral pulling the cart planned to wait a little longer.

However, Bell was not interested in adding another person in, so he tapped lightly on the wall of the carriage, and a wave of magic power radiated when Bell's fingers collided with the wall.Sensing the thoughts mixed with this magical power, thestrals snorted and obediently walked towards the castle.

"Bell, do you know what magic is cast on the carriage? Why does it go by itself?"

This was Hermione's first time riding in a Hogwarts carriage. She had crossed the Black Lake into Hogwarts by boat before.

"The carriage doesn't go by itself, it's pulled by thestrals."

"Thestrals? What's that? Why can't I see it?"

Hermione leaned on the window and looked carefully at the front of the carriage, but of course she saw nothing.

"Thestrals are a kind of magical animal. It looks like a horse, has wings, and flies very fast. Only those who have witnessed death can see thestrals." Bell explained.

"However, I am skeptical about this view. Because the concept of 'death' is too broad. In fact, death happens all around us at any time. The death of dogs, cats, birds and other small animals, flies, The death of mosquitoes, ants and other insects, I think almost everyone should have witnessed it more or less. But these people still cannot see thestrals. So I think whether they can see thestrals depends more on wizards The inner cognition and understanding of death, the so-called witnessing death is not necessary.”

Hermione nodded half-understanding, and said, "What a pity, I also want to see what Thestrals look like."

"Then do you want to do an experiment with me?" Bell said eagerly, "I can interfere with your understanding of the concept of 'death' a little bit, then maybe you can see thestrals."

Hermione was a little hesitant, not because she didn't trust Bell and felt that Bell would do something bad to her.But interference with cognition or something sounds terrifying.The little witch, who is only 11 years old this year, is a little scared.

In fact, not to mention Hermione, even many adult wizards would feel resistance and fear to magic that could interfere with people's cognition.But in fact, this kind of magic is not as scary as people imagine.In particular, the nature of magic power determines that all wizards will come into contact with this kind of magic intentionally or unintentionally.

To give a simple example, when casting the Patronus Charm, one must recall happy memories and inject strong happy emotions into the magic power in order to cast it successfully.But usually wizards can't feel very happy anytime and anywhere, and the memories will fade, and they can't be compared with the personal experience.Therefore, if you want to master the Patronus Charm proficiently, you must learn self-hypnosis, which is to interfere with your own consciousness.

After much hesitation, Hermione still did not choose to let Bell interfere with her cognition.If you think about it carefully, it doesn't really matter whether you can see the Thestrals or not.There are so many things she is curious about, and there are many things that she doesn't understand yet.

The carriage soon arrived outside Hogwarts Castle.After entering the auditorium, Bell and Hermione separated and returned to the dining tables of their respective colleges.

"Bell, why are you willing to separate from your little girlfriend?" A teasing voice came into Bell's ears.

It was one of Ravenclaw's seniors, Penelope Clearwater, who made fun of Bell.She is currently a fifth grade student with excellent grades and a beautiful woman.

Penelope is similar to Hermione in many ways: Muggle family background, excellent grades, arrogant personality, and no friends.It can be said that apart from the different colleges it belongs to, it can be said that it is a mature version of Hermione.So, it stands to reason that she also had similar problems as Hermione, such as low self-esteem for being Muggle-born.
