Hogwarts: Who taught you to transform like this?

Filch's face was full of disbelief.

In all his years at Hogwarts, he had only seen little wizards who made troubles. This was the first time that a little wizard would take the initiative to help him clean up these things.

Merlin shrugged.

When he first read the book, he thought Filch was hateful.

But later he gradually understood Filch's situation and felt that he was really a pitiful man.

Living in a magical world, but unable to touch the mysteries of magic.

The more he loved Hogwarts, the more he envied those little wizards who could learn magic.

So he hated those little wizards who liked to play pranks, and thought they were wasting their talents and time...

That's how love turns to hate.

However, Merlin felt that his approach also had a big problem.

Corporal punishment of little wizards will not change anything except increasing the hatred of little wizards towards him.

So he decided to change Filch's concept.

It just so happened that he also needed a Squib experimental subject to study how to inspire ordinary people to master magical abilities.

If successful, it would definitely greatly transform the wizarding world, and the reward would definitely not be low.

��Lin did not answer Filch's question, but asked another question.

"Mr. Filch, do you want to learn magic?"

"You...what did you say?"

"I say, Mr. Filch, do you want to learn magic?"

"Enough! Mr. Merlin, don't tease me with this kind of thing. You must know that I am a squib."

"Squibs...can't learn magic!"

Filch said this word by word, very forcefully.

Merlin blinked.

"Mr. Filch, there is a saying in the Muggle world that where there is a will, there is a way."

"A squib is just a wizard who can't mobilize his magic power, not that he can't cast spells."

"You have advantages over many muggles, why not try to learn magic?"

"Trying to learn?"

Filch's throat seemed to be stuck.

After a while, he confirmed that Merlin was really asking sincerely, then he pulled him to the side.

He was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Mr. Merlin, to be honest with you, I have signed up for courses such as"Squib Magic Crash Course","Learn to Cast Magic in 21 Days", and"Master's Magic Introductory Course"."

"But they just give you some tutorials after you pay."

"Over the years, I haven't learned even one magic trick. I've given up."

"You were born a wizard, don't understand this"

"Magic is innate in the blood, not something you can learn"

"Even if I hold a magic wand and use the same standard spells, gestures, and emotions as them, I can't release even a little magic."

"Mr. Merlin, thank you for your kindness, but I really can't learn magic……"

Merlin shook his head

"Mr. Filch, you know I'm an alchemist, right?"

"Yes, so what?"

Mo Lin smiled slightly.

"Since I am a muggle-born, I have always wondered why muggle can't cast magic."

"But there are wizards all around, so it's hard to study"

"The Ministry of Magic also restricted me from conducting research with Muggles, so I was unable to find a qualified research subject."

"If you can let me study the abnormalities of magic in wizards and ordinary people, maybe I can solve this problem."

"Really...really?"

Filch said with some anticipation.

"I will study it, but I am not sure how long it will take to produce results. After all, I am just a freshman."

Mo Lin said seriously.

"But I will do my best to research this issue."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Merlin, I... I just don't know what to say, you are so kind and so Hufflepuff!"

"It would be great if other little wizards could be like you."

Filch's voice was trembling with excitement, and he raised his sleeves to wipe his tears.

As the gatekeeper of Hogwarts, not knowing magic has always been a concern for him.

But he couldn't tell anyone about it except Mrs. Norris. He was cheated when buying a course.

The little wizard hated him.

The professors only said that Squibs could not learn magic.

He thought he would be isolated from magic in his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a little wizard who believed in him, encouraged him, and said he would help him solve the problem.

Even if it was just a white lie.

It was also a warm light he gained at Hogwarts.

He even felt that there was a new expectation in life.

"Praise Merlin! Mr. Merlin, you are so... Hufflepuff."

Filch said excitedly.

Merlin stood up straight and was almost as tall as Filch who was bending over.

He looked into Filch's eyes.

"However, Mr. Filch, you also need to change your attitude towards students."

"They are at a lively age, so it's normal for them to like to play a little. You punish them only because it's difficult to clean up the mess they make, right?"

""Yes!"

Filch nodded vigorously, and felt that Merlin understood him too well.

As a Squib, he was completely unable to use cleaning magic.

Facing the traces left by the various magic props of the little wizards, he could only physically remove them bit by bit. He often did this all day long, and was too tired to stand up after work.

That's why he used punishment to reduce the number of mistakes made by the little wizards.

Unfortunately, the more he punished the little wizards, the more excited they became, and even competed with him in wits and courage.

Thinking of this,

Filch even began to shed tears

"I...really...Mr. Merlin...there has never been a little wizard who understands me as well as you do."

"They all think I'm deliberately making things difficult for them, but I actually want to be a good person."

"Then I have a solution."

Mo Lin smiled mysteriously.

"Do you want to regain the favor of the little wizard?"

"Of course! I dream about it!"

"That's easy, just do what I say, and I guarantee it will work soon."

Mo Lin lowered his voice and said a few words.

"Is that all right?"

Filch said, eyes wide open in disbelief.

"It won't take much time to try. You can go talk to Peeves first."

"That experiment where the Squib learned magic?"

"I may have something to do in the next two days. I will send you a letter via owl after I finish my work and start school."

""Okay, Mr. Merlin, I'll go find Peeves right away!"

Filch happily disappeared from the stairs carrying his things.

When he disappeared at the end of the stairs, the dragon blood grass witch came back from another picture frame.

"Oh, praise Merlin, you actually fixed the frame for me, what a helpful Hufflepuff you are!"

"Don't say that, ma'am, I'll be embarrassed. And you also told me the changing pattern of the stairs, I haven't thanked you yet"

"But I'm more curious about how you came up with the idea of helping Filch. I've been in the castle for so many years and I've never seen a little wizard like you."

"Maybe I want to see a different magic world."

Merlin smiled and responded.

The Dragon Blood Grass Witch was silent for a moment and nodded seriously.

"Indeed, if all little wizards were like you, the future of the wizarding world would definitely be different."

"Well, as your senior, I can do you the most good by not reporting you for skipping classes, but you can't let this delay my nap."

"I'm going to start my beauty sleep, Molin, be careful not to be seen by the professors"

"I……"

Without waiting for Mo Lin to speak, the Dragon Blood Grass Witch turned around and walked into the hut to rest.

"I really didn't skip class!"

Mo Lin's unspoken words slowly dissipated in the air.

"Forget it, let's get down to business first."

Merlin first went to find some wooden boards, wrote the pattern of the stairs' changes, and fixed them next to the first step of the stairs.

Then he cast a conspicuous spell and a permanent fixation spell.

In this way, the young wizards coming and going can immediately notice the pattern of the stairs' changes and where the stairs lead to.

It may not be useful for most old students.

At least it can prevent new young wizards and old students with poor directions from getting lost.

After doing all this, Merlin did not receive any prompts about transforming Hogwarts.

It seems that doing the same thing two or three times to get more benefits will not work, so we still have to look forward to Filch's progress.

Just as I was thinking about it, a new prompt popped up in front of me.
