A day at Hogwarts

Charles finally negotiated with Snape about the processing fee for the explosive fluid, and at the same time got an approximate price list of the raw materials that can be obtained in the Forbidden Forest, so that he can better collect materials.

He went to the kitchen to eat something, and not long after he went out, he met someone looking upset.

In the corridor on the first floor of the basement, in the flickering candlelight, Malfoy stopped in front of Charles with a sneer on his face, while Crabbe and Goyle smiled maliciously and still clenched their fists.

Malfoy said viciously to Charles: "Now there are three of us here, and you are only one. If you beg for mercy now, I will consider letting you go."

Charles suddenly laughed, this scene reminded him of the two little kids who talked harshly to himself at the supper stall in his previous life in order to grab the last empty table, and when the twenty or so people who ate roast duck noodles at the other five tables All the workers gathered around, and someone said that after they were taken to the construction site to drive piles, one of them was so frightened that everyone cried out on the spot.

"Three people?" said Charles, shaking his head. "I don't see three people, but one, one and another."

Malfoy was a little dazed by him, frowning and asked, "What's the difference?"

Charles smiled and asked him, "Malfoy, do you have any friends?"

Malfoy said with disdain, "Crabbe and Goyle are my friends."

Charles smiled and shook his head, looking at Malfoy with pity, making him uncomfortable.

"You have never had friends." Charles said with certainty, "Because you have no friends around you, and you don't know when you are friends, so you misunderstood the servant as a friend."

"Malfoy, will you confide in them when you have any distress? Will you whisper to them which girl you secretly like? When any of them are frowning, you will take the initiative to ask why and help them solve it? You If you encounter something interesting, will you share it with the two of them?"

"Crabbe, Goyle, do you really regard Malfoy as a friend? Will you share with Malfoy when you encounter happy things? Are you willing to help him? Do you have any hesitation or disgust in your heart? ? If you heard he was fighting with seniors, would you help him without thinking?"

"Malfoy, I can hear how you treat Crabbe and Goyle in Gryffindor. Every day, besides scolding them, you are bragging in front of them. When you finish bragging, they will be cold-faced by you if they don't flatter you in time. Treat each other and even curse at each other."

"Not to mention friends, do you regard them as equal people, equal Slytherin students? In your eyes, they are probably only different from house elves in terms of skin color and size."

"Malfoy, if one day you fell into the water and were about to die, but there were piranhas in the water, and the piranhas would eat your toes if you went down to rescue you, do you think Crabbe and Goyle would go into the water to save you?"

After Charles finished speaking, he looked at Malfoy sympathetically. The kid was quite pitiful, especially after he turned his head to look at Crabbe and Goyle, who turned their heads and did not dare to look at him, it was even more pitiful.

Like them, many poor people who have never experienced friendship regard their followers as friends, and at the same time, others regard other people's friends as their followers. They think that mutual help between friends is licking each other's feet.

Charles ignored them, left the basement floor, and went to Professor Quirrell to continue today's finishing work on spells and potions.

"Did you get angry just now?" Voldemort's ability to read words and emotions was not bad.

"Nothing." Charles shook his head, "I just met Peeves."

Today Voldemort no longer paced around, but sat behind his desk reading a book.

Charles glanced at the cover of the book curiously, and suddenly felt a thunderbolt.

"Professor Quirrell." He asked curiously, "What is the book "Break with the Female Ghost" about?"

Voldemort replied: "It's Gilderoy Lockhart's biography, which mentions that many methods of dealing with danger are very effective."

Now Charles was shocked. He had seen Gilderoy Lockhart's book in the bookstore. The cover was so exquisite and beautiful. He didn't buy it because the author was a liar. He didn't expect the Dark Lord to hand-pick it to be useful.

But it's not wrong to think about it, the author of the book is fake, but the victim's experience in it is absolutely true, it has been a little artistically processed.

"Smith," said Voldemort suddenly, "you will make mistakes next month."

"Ah?!" Charles was taken aback, "I'm a good student!"

Voldemort ignored him, and said to himself: "I need someone to sort out the ways to deal with various dangers in the book. You can start this work after sorting out the curses."

A month later, Charles was sentenced to another month's detention for stepping left foot first in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom the day after the end of this detention.

Charles didn't know what was going to happen next. He thought of one thing and asked Voldemort: "Professor, do you know how to use the Disillusionment Charm and the Silencer Charm?"

Voldemort asked him somewhat unexpectedly: "Do you want to learn?"

Charles nodded, the illusion spell made him invisible, and the silence spell eliminated the sound of footsteps. With the combination of the two, he moved quietly behind the enemy and could cast any spell on the enemy's waist.

Voldemort thought that he just wanted to avoid being caught by Filch when he was swimming at night, so he picked up his wand and said without thinking, "These two spells are very simple. This is how the Disillusionment spell works..."

Under his spell, a stack of homework of unknown age on the table disappeared.

Charles looked carefully, and immediately took out his wand to try the book on his desk, and it turned out to be 75% transparent.

Voldemort was a little surprised, did this guy learn the spell so quickly?

That night, Charles didn't sort out much of the curses. He barely mastered the Disillusionment Charm and the Silencer Charm, and he could go back by then.

Before leaving, he suddenly thought of one thing: "Professor Quirrell, I may not be able to come on Saturday and Sunday nights. I'm going to the horse people."

Voldemort said indifferently: "Then you take all these away, I remember you have a bag, and you can find time to do it over there."

Charles thanked him with a smile, and then put the book and table together in his bag and took them away.

After Charles left, Voldemort laughed.

In his opinion, Charles didn't dare to read the books in these restricted areas when he was around, and he would definitely flip through them curiously when no one was watching.

As soon as Charles became interested in the curses in the book, his purpose was achieved.

Charles thought about it in the bath tub of the Room of Requirement. Voldemort is so easy to talk, he should be courteous for nothing, rape or steal, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.

But this question is not urgent. The most urgent thing now is to master the second magic spell given by the old man on the side of the horseman. The oriental magic spell is very cool to use.

Always want to sleep.
