Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry with that kind smile on his face:

Harry, it seems that this Easter holiday, you have a very fulfilling life.

Yes, Professor. Harry nodded, This is a very memorable holiday.

Professor Dumbledore chuckled, and put the Horcrux on the side in front of the two:

Judging from Sirius' description, this holiday is indeed unforgettable. Harry, I think you should be familiar with this Horcrux.

Of course. This, like the diary, is Voldemort's Horcrux, isn't it?

Yes, they are all Horcruxes of Tom's child. Professor Dumbledore leaned back on the chair, sighing,

No wonder Tom became so weird and his personality became more extreme in the later stages of the wizarding war.

Remember that conversation we had last Easter, around this time?

I think Tom split his soul many times, and now we have stronger evidence to support it...

Harry sat there quietly, listening to Professor Dumbledore speak alone.

...The two most important issues now are that we don't know how many times he split his soul and where he hid the Horcrux.

But I have a hunch that he split his soul at least five times.

Having said that, Professor Dumbledore took a sip of the black tea with an excessive amount of honey on the side, with an extremely serious expression on his face.

The old principals on the wall were discussing. Although they already knew the result, they were still filled with righteous indignation.

So? Do you need my help? Harry looked at Professor Dumbledore quietly.

Of course, Dumbledore waved his hand, and a stone basin flew out of the cabinet behind him.

Harry carefully identified this magical creation that was very similar in shape to the stone basin Voldemort used to carry the potion.

After thinking for two minutes, Harry found the name corresponding to this stone basin from a thick magic book from the restricted area deep in his brain.

The Pensieve? Harry asked softly.

That's right, it's the Pensieve. Professor Dumbledore stood up,

Phineas should have mentioned to you that during this Easter holiday, I went to Azkaban with Nico to repair the defensive magic there.

Of course, I also sorted out the clues accumulated for nearly three years, and obtained some memories from several people.

Professor Dumbledore pointed to the Pensieve: I think there is still enough time, so let's take a wonderful trip with some special characters.

After speaking, Professor Dumbledore plunged into the Pensieve and disappeared.

Harry didn't hesitate, and stepped into the silver memory lightly.

...

After a long time, the two came out of the Pensieve.

Professor Dumbledore still had that indifferent expression, but Harry's expression was a little strange.

Professor Dumbledore took her to see four memories:

A Ministry of Magic employee deals with the memory of a run-down pure-blood family that violated Ministry of Magic laws,

And this pure-blood family is also the descendant of the Slytherin family and the Peverell family;

A house elf's memory of the story between the senior Riddle who appeared in the diary and her mistress,

and the story of her misplaced poison in her coffee, which resulted in the death of the hostess;

A memory of when Professor Dumbledore and Tom Riddle Jr. met for the first time when they were young,

The memory mentions Riddle's bad deeds when he was a child, including terrorizing two innocent Muggle children in the cave;

The memory of Riddle's uncle meeting 16-year-old Riddle alone in Gaunt's old house after he came out of Azkaban,

After this incident, this Gaunt quickly killed three nearby Muggles whose surname was Riddle.

It is worth mentioning that in the memories of the house elves and members of the Gaunt family, an inexplicable white mist appeared.

Harry has seen this situation from the book, and the appearance of white mist indicates that this memory has been tampered with.

After reading these memories, she probably knew where Senior Riddle's Slytherin locket came from.

Harley originally thought that he was engaged in some tomb robbery-related industries, or went to the black market to engage in some gray industries.

Unexpectedly, the young senior Riddle would be more straightforward, directly killing people and seizing treasures.

And if I didn't guess wrong, this senior Riddle should still have two Horcruxes, which are Hufflepuff's gold cup and the Gaunt family's ancestral ring.

Of course, none of this was enough to shock Harry. This kind of immoral thing, Harry did not do less.

What shocked her the most was that dear senior Riddle actually had a love affair with that old woman after graduation.

If the old woman is an immortal witch, a beauty whose face has remained unchanged for thousands of years, then that's fine.

But that descendant of Hufflepuff really looks like an old lady!

Although I know that this is Senior Riddle who is cruel enough, has great perseverance, and can sacrifice everything for his own goal...

But Harley, who is a face control, still has deep doubts about Senior Riddle's taste.

Of course, considering that Senior Riddle personally used black magic to turn his handsome face into Voldemort's noseless face, Harley could understand Senior Riddle's choice.

Professor Dumbledore sat back on the chair in front of the table, waved his hand, and the Pensieve returned to the cabinet automatically.

Afterwards, Professor Dumbledore looked at Harry: Harry, after reading these memories, I think you should have gained a lot, right?

I have some guesses. Harry nodded, For example, Voldemort, he has two Horcruxes with a high probability.

Professor Dumbledore sighed softly: Yes, two Horcruxes...

Hufflepuff's gold cup and the ring of the Gaunt family, plus the diary, the locket and you, there are a total of five Horcruxes...

Harry raised his eyebrows, but didn't say much.

Professor Dumbledore briefly talked about the source of memory, and what happened before and after the timeline of memory,

Like Tom Riddle's mother eloping with a certain Riddle, and a bunch of other things.

Professor Dumbledore didn't explain much, but Harry completely kept up with Professor Dumbledore's thinking, and arranged the general truth of the matter in his mind.

Harry, do you have time for summer vacation? Professor Dumbledore asked bluntly after talking about all this,

In fact, I already have some vague clues, and I can probably lock the range of a Horcrux.

Would you like to explore Tom's secrets with me this holiday?

It's a great honor, thank you for your invitation, Professor. Harry bowed slightly.

...

After Harry left, a blond-haired old headmaster asked puzzledly:

Albus, that's not your style. I thought the conversation between the two of you would go on for two hours.

Oh, Sox, why do you think so? Professor Dumbledore looked up at the portrait.

Who of us doesn't know your style? Suokes rolled his eyes, You like teaching and educating people so much, teaching students logical thinking.

Leaving aside other things, you can analyze for two hours just why you thought of looking for these memories and what you thought at the time.

It's really very rare that you end up just saying something that happened and you end the conversation.

Professor Dumbledore shook his head: That's for other students, such as introverted children like Newt, I only need to do this.

And Harley doesn't lack these thinking skills.

In fact, I can feel that apart from the accumulation of knowledge and the current strength being inferior to mine, Harley has surpassed me in every other aspect.

And the latter is just an advantage I have accumulated due to age, and Harry will soon catch up.

Listening to Professor Dumbledore's words, there were several exclamations on the wall.

It seems that Gryffindor has produced another genius! This is really a good thing!

An old Gryffindor headmaster waved his wand so excitedly that it nearly hit Phineas on the head.

Professor Dumbledore didn't speak, but there was some concern in the depths of his eyes.

In Harry's body, Dumbledore saw the shadow of his old friend, and also found the image of his useless student.

Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be the worst scenario I've conceived.

Of course not, you don't worry too much. Phineas said loudly while staying away from Gryffindor who was waving his wand as much as possible,

That kid from the Gunter family is a product of a love potion. He doesn't know love by nature. He can only use feelings, but he doesn't know feelings himself.

But Harley is different. Just by seeing how she gets along with my unworthy junior, I know that she still attaches great importance to feelings.

Professor Dumbledore did not respond, but drew his wand and pointed at the Horcrux.

The dark blue Fiercefire, the same color as the first Dark Lord, ignited and wrapped Slytherin's locket.

The old principals who were still making noise on the wall suddenly quieted down and watched the scene. They were heartbroken, but no one spoke out to stop them.

A few shrill screams suddenly sounded from the locket, causing Fox to raise his head violently in fright, and let out a few dissatisfied chirps.

Soon, the screams stopped, and Fiendfire was easily extinguished by Professor Dumbledore.

All that remained of the flames was the remains of a locket, and the emerald S representing Slytherin barely survived.

Professor Dumbledore waved his wand, and the wreckage flew up into a compartment of the cabinet.

Beside it lay a burnt black diary.

...

After leaving the principal's office, it was almost noon, and Harry leisurely walked towards the auditorium.

Now when facing Professor Dumbledore, that kind of spiritual warning no longer appears, but there is some slight depression.

This proves that he is not much weaker than Professor Dumbledore.

If you have to say where there are shortcomings, it is probably that Professor Dumbledore is more comprehensive, and the magic methods he has mastered need to be further improved.

And Professor Dumbledore belongs to the most capable group in the wizarding world... So Harry can be sure that in this magical world, she can come and go freely.

Next, it's time to stabilize the anchor's perception of me, and regulate the direction of Rita's reporting. Harley thought carefully,

And I want to enhance my reputation again, so that my name can spread to more people's hearts.

Well, someone seems to have mentioned that there is an international wizard duel competition. The competition even allows dark wizards to participate, and accidental deaths are allowed.

That's a very good competition, and the attention should be high. Professor Flitwick seems to have been the champion of this competition, so I can ask Professor Flitwick for advice.

By the way, I have to speed up the learning progress of alchemy. The production of these Extraordinary items is too rough, and I need to re-optimize them.

Harry unconsciously reached into his pocket from time to time, touching the loot seized from Voldemort's cave.

Since Professor Dumbledore didn't mention these items, Harry naturally didn't ask for trouble and took the initiative to remind the professor.

...

The Easter holidays are coming to an end soon.

When Professor Dumbledore announced that Professor Lupine had resigned due to an accidental injury, students including many Slytherins were very reluctant.

After all, Professor Lu Ping is much better than the previous professors, and he can even take him to practice classes.

And Professor Snape also took over the remaining work of Professor Lupine as a substitute professor, which made him very satisfied.

The only thing that made Professor Snape a little unhappy was that most of the students didn't like doing Defense Against the Dark Arts that much by themselves.

Of course, soon there would be no time for the students to hate Professor Snape.

Because the final exam is coming, the homework assigned by each course has increased significantly again.

What's even more frustrating is that because Harley performed well enough in class, she completed the magic taught in the teacher's course ahead of time, so she didn't have to complete her homework.

This is undoubtedly a fatal blow to the third grade students.

Although Harley didn't have to do homework, she wasn't idle either.

After Professor Lupine was transformed back into human form by Sirius' Prototype Restoration Spell on the night of the last full moon, Harley finally collected all the data.

So she spends a lot of time writing papers, which she plans to send out before the end of third grade.

Professor Flitwick greatly appreciated Halle's thesis and gave many guiding opinions.

Although Professor Flitwick doesn't know how to use this spell, he still has a high attainment in spells, and he pointed out some areas that can be optimized based on his experience.

Professor Flitwick also asserted that as long as this paper is published in Spells and Runes, Halle can basically win the Most Potential Newcomer Award in the field of spells this year.

After all, the influence of this spell is too great, whether it is in terms of politics, spells or transfiguration, it is of great significance.

Although Harley also highlighted the marks in the thesis, she only restored the spell based on Lockhart's handwritten notes and her own understanding, and she was not the original author.

But this does not prevent the importance of the spell itself.

When Lockhart wrote this spell in his book, many spell masters thought that Lockhart was grandstanding.

After all, Damocles invented the expensive wolfsbane potion that werewolves couldn't afford to drink, which brought him a second-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

If Lockhart really knows this spell, then he can directly get a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin!

He didn't need to study everywhere to barely get a third-level medal.

And when the truth about Lockhart's theft of memory was exposed, although there was no detailed report in the newspaper, the masters of the spell knew that the spell was true through their own channels.

This made them hate Lockhart to death, after all he had caused the loss of an important spell!

Now that Harley has restored the spell, let alone the Most Promising Newcomer Award in the field of spells, Professor Flitwick estimates that Harley can definitely win a first-class medal of the Order of Merlin.

After all, the werewolf problem has always been a very important problem. Although it has not exploded, it has always existed and caused headaches for the Ministry of Magic.

After Harry sealed the thesis in Professor Flitwick's office and sent it together with Professor Flitwick's letter of introduction, Professor Flitwick looked at Harry:

Congratulations, Harley. The 'Most Promising Newcomer Award' in the field of spells has not been awarded for seventeen years.

Based on the quality of your article, this award must be yours.

I also want to thank the professor for his guidance. Harry responded politely.

You're welcome. Being able to point out a good student is the best reward for a professor.

Professor Flitwick said happily, and planned to show off to a few old friends as soon as Halle's thesis came out.

By the way, I said in the Charms Club that I would teach the winning students weather spells.

Do you want to learn this spell? Or do you want to switch to another spell?

Harry didn't hesitate: Just this spell.

Okay then, let's go to the Forbidden Forest. Professor Flitwick jumped off the special heightened chair.

...

In the Forbidden Forest, by that vast lake.

Professor Flitwick was standing on a tree stump, saving himself the need to look up at Harry.

The weather spell is actually not a single spell, but a series of spells. Professor Flitwick taught carefully,

The point of casting this spell is...

Professor Flitwick quickly passed the basic theoretical knowledge and quickly entered the key part.

After all the pure theoretical knowledge was finished, Professor Flitwick drew out his wand: To deepen your impression, let me demonstrate it to you.

The wind roars!

There was a sudden gust of wind in the sky, and the calm water instantly stirred up waves.

And the wind wasn't a gust gushing from the wand, but a naturally occurring wind roaring in the sky.

Rushing like lightning!

Clouds suddenly gathered in the cloudless sky, and two bolts of lightning struck the water.

A Crimean tortoise that poked its head out to find out was just struck by lightning, and it lost its breath of life.

Embarrassed, Professor Flitwick stopped using the spell:

What I just demonstrated to you is the most basic weather spell, and its power has been reduced as much as possible.

Actually, as far as the first spell to create a strong wind is concerned, if I choose to say a more cumbersome spell...

The two chatted until nine o'clock in the evening, feeling the hunger in their stomachs, and ended today's class.

Harley gained a lot. In addition to talking about the most basic weather spells, Professor Flitwick also talked about how to make the weather spells as powerful as possible through longer spells.

Professor Flitwick proudly said that if he had five minutes, he could release extremely powerful wind spells around Hogwarts Castle.

Any wizard who dares to approach Hogwarts Castle with a broomstick will be blown away by the strong wind.

Professor Flitwick was also very satisfied. After all, Harry learned it very quickly, and could release the basic weather spell in just one afternoon.

He was already planning to teach Harry how to use weather spells flexibly after the next spell club, using one spell to release different weathers at the same time.

...

After only a few lessons, Harry learned all the weather spells, and the rest of the work is to practice repeatedly.

Professor Flitwick was shocked by Harry's progress, and only Harry knew about it, because the Witch Way had a certain authority in weather.

Seeing Harry's talent, Professor Flitwick recalled his previous plan - to train a champion of the International Wizarding Duel Competition!

When he mentioned it to Harley, Harley was also pleasantly surprised.

Before he took the initiative to mention it, Professor Flitwick came to him first.

The two hit it off, and Professor Flitwick continued his one-on-one lectures with Harry, but the content of the class changed from weather spells to using magic to fight.

Before Professor Flitwick could teach Harley a few lessons, however, the final exams came up.

He could only make an appointment with Harry to have an expedited training in the week after the final exam, and continue this course next semester.

The final exam is almost no difficulty for Halle now.

In the Transfiguration and Charms exams, the two professors gave Harley an O without letting Harry do the actual operation.

During the exam, Hagrid was very excited.

After all, Buckbeak's wounding incident was jointly identified by several magic masters from the Wizarding Examination Administration as a teaching accident, and only Hagrid himself needed to be punished.

However, the punishment was just a penalty of some wages, and Hagrid didn't count on those wages to live at all, so the punishment could be said to be irrelevant.

After the final exams, Halle's thesis also came along with the Most Promising Newcomer Award.

So there is no doubt that Gryffindor has scored a large number of points again——

The points in the Quidditch Cup were enough to give Gryffindor the lead, and the award put the other houses out of contention.

On the second day after the year-end dinner, the little wizards boarded the train and returned to the Muggle world.

Sirius and Professor Lupine came to pick up Harry together, but they only came to pick up Harry, and Harry had to live with the Dursleys in the end.

Sirius was quite critical of Professor Dumbledore's decision, but he was powerless to change it.

After all, according to Professor Dumbledore, it involves the magic Lily left behind.

Of course, Professor Dumbledore said that Harry only needs to live for a week.

This made Sirius a lot happier again, and decided to invite Harry to watch the Quidditch World Cup during the summer vacation.
