Hogwarts and the Unspeakable

Alan's life trajectory is similar to Hermione's.

Classes, meals, library. Always study hard and absorb knowledge.

Alan watched Hermione's struggle first hand, she worked really hard.

It's just that Hermione doesn't have resources like Allen and can ask the dean to teach directly. I can only study hard in the library. Even so, I can only memorize the theory, but there is no way to achieve the same effect in the experiment. Therefore, in Alan's serious class, Hermione's performance was completely unable to match Alan's. Indeed, she has neither systematically learned how to learn, nor does she know how huge the gap between technology and knowledge is. There is no decent and reliable teacher to help her lead the way, nor is there enough family background to help her rise in magic.

Therefore, she couldn't find a way and could only study hard.

However, she was on Allen's watch list from the beginning. Because she is special.

What's so special about it? In fact, it is very simple to say: it looks good.

As the saying goes, a gentle lady is a good gentleman. But even if she doesn't ask to be a girlfriend or wife and build a good relationship, this guy will at least be a female minister in the future. If he can successfully compete with Harry Potter for the position, he will definitely be a female minister in the future. In the wizarding world, the Minister of Magic is the de facto Prime Minister of the wizarding world. Therefore, from these two aspects, investing in Hermione is definitely not a bad choice.

But there was one thing that surprised Allen.

That is, people's evaluation of beauty is the same.

In the original "Harry Potter" books, although Hermione is not good-looking, she is very smart. It was only later that she grew and became a beauty, but even so, she couldn't match the beauty of Harry's wife, the pure-blood aristocrat (not rich, but still an aristocrat) Ginny. But this is not the case in the movie world. Hermione's acting looks have been outstanding since she was a child, and she has not become disabled when she grows up. Therefore, Allen also read many time-travel novels in his previous life:

Hermione's appearance is always a combination of good-looking and bad-looking.

Hermione is not good-looking now, but she will become a world-class beauty in the future.

As a time traveler, the protagonist will "accidentally" learn about this appearance.

To put it simply, the painting depicts women as men, and beautiful women as ugly. The elephant in the house, everyone knows she's pretty, but no one says anything about it. We all know that Hermione is good-looking, but everyone in the plot says that Hermione is not good-looking. In this way, Allen feels very happy just thinking about it. This is equivalent to holding a gold brick in advance!

And every time-travel novel basically has a plot that takes advantage of Hermione when she is not looking good. Allen also designed it this way.

It's just a pity: it backfired.

Obviously, the aesthetics of people in this world are still online. Allen's plan to chase the rise and kill the fall obviously failed.

Wherever Hermione went, many people came to see her and even talk to her. Even going on a date with her!

Only in the library, a place where she was not allowed to talk casually, could Hermione find a trace of peace.

But this is a pain for Allen - after all, he also wants to participate, but as a gentleman, this is obviously not in line with his noble status. Well, the main reason is actually shyness. Can't adults be shy? Many people are still phobic at 35 years old! Children don't understand anything, but they are less shy.

Wherever Hermione went, she was the center of attention.

Imagine the girl in school who has the best academic performance and is also the prettiest!

There is only one result that leads to it: the proud son of heaven, the moon supported by all the stars. (female)

However, this is not all a good thing. It is said in "Dream of Red Mansions":

People who are too high are more jealous, and people who are too clean are the same as others.

Being liked by everyone has two obvious consequences:

One is being pursued by someone and wanting to be friends together;

The second is being persecuted, and if I don’t do well, you can’t even think about it.

Boys who like her will be polarized: either they will try their best to please her, or they will try their best to provoke her to attract attention;

Girls who like her sometimes lead to two endings: alienation, or direct persecution!

After all, no matter how close girls are to each other, they usually cannot be united due to the influence of the world.

But no one ever considered whether she wanted this to happen - everyone thought about what would happen to themselves.

But isn’t this the human world?

Allen looked on with cold eyes. He had no reason to intervene, not even an excuse.

In conquest, morality is the most important thing. Promoting a teacher who has no way is the way to bring about disaster.

But this period of history ended just now and is over.

Because Miss Hermione Jean Granger sat next to Allen.

------------

"If you don't mind, can I sit here?"

Maybe we should call Hermione and Ellen "the pretty lady" (or maybe the "school belle"?).

"Oh my God. A bunch of brownies," Hermione said with relief.

Seeing Hermione sitting next to the "untouchable" and "very rich" Sir Alan Appleby, these children secretly paid attention to this place from a distance and stopped approaching. After all, no one would dare to provoke Alan Appleby when they had just met him, had not found out the details, and were still in the Hogwarts library where loud noises were prohibited. He was able to give away such an expensive "Nimbus 3000" with a wave of his hand. It is not impossible to spend more money to buy some shady things at "Bojin Bock" in Knockturn Alley or other places.

Another reason was that his dad was on top when school started.

Allen is very happy now, although not that happy, but he is still very happy, not that very happy either. But overall I'm very happy. Yes, very happy. . Bar?

Well, no time to be shy!

Young man, when you encounter such a good opportunity, shouldn't you cherish it and say a few more words? !

fart! Men are young until they die! What's more, his current physical body is really that of a teenager. Even if you are 11 years old now, you will be 18 years old in seven years. Invest early and get rewards early! If you invest late, you can only eat the ashes behind your predecessors!

Alan did feel a little happy - well, he was still a little shy.

Allen is still a little shy in front of world-class beauties.

The more important question is, as a gentleman, it is best not to talk in a place like the library, right?

And maybe Hermione just likes to see herself looking aloof?

"Ah~ It really feels better sitting here."

Woohoo (Wuhu)! Although Alan was speechless, Hermione spoke. That's right, good-looking people are usually privileged. Although Allen is also very cute, he is very shy. But Hermione has spoken, so let’s not get hung up on who speaks first, right? As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos, so it is normal for Allen to be speechless. Allen defended himself in his mind.

But he obviously forgot that even if he was obsessed and did terrible things, with Jazz around, the other party was still a poor family without any social resources in the wizarding world, and was scorned as "Muggles". Even Allen may not be punished by the law. For example, Barty Crouch Jr., even if he used the Unforgivable Curse, still got away with it. What's more, Allen doesn't necessarily need to use the Unforgivable Curse.

"Law is the product of the will of the ruling class." - Lesson 1 of Unit 1 of "Life and Law"

So, who is the ruling class in British wizarding circles?

However, it was obvious that Allen had not even thought about this issue - not even thought about it.

He was just too shy to speak.

Allen once read a book in his previous life, and there was a sentence in it that said:

"A person should be a noble person, a valuable person, a person who is free from vulgar taste, and a person who is beneficial to the public (Allen did not write that word for safety)."

"Rich and noble can't be promiscuous, the poor and the lowly can't be moved, and the mighty can't be subdued."

This is a portrayal of a person's ideal personality.

"Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way."

Ellen, just gentle, didn't say a word. But if Hermione talked to him, he couldn't blame himself!

Hey hey hey. Allen chuckled secretly in his heart.

No matter what, even if Alan had thousands of words running through his mind just now, he still had to respond to Hermione's question.

"They are just like brown sugar, always following me and always looking for me to talk to. But I just want to study hard."

"I really want to tell them: It doesn't matter if you like me, I like to study!"

However, based on Allen's social experience, the subtext of this sentence is: "You like me? But I don't like you."

But it was obvious that Allen didn't care at all whether these children were heartbroken or not, and he was even a little happy in his heart.

"Quite so," Allen often said.

"But it's better just sitting here. Sorry to disturb you, but I can't study well."

Allen nodded. However, he was still a little unsure.

He struggled with inner conflict for a long time, trying to fight against his shyness.

He really wanted to talk, but he couldn't. Finally, he finally defeated his timidity!

"The good quality of a gentleman is that he is willing to help others. If this happens again in the future, how about keeping this position for you?"

Allen invited tactfully.

Hermione wasn't polite either. She was really annoyed with these people lately. But fortunately, they didn't dare to talk in class.

"Thank you. What are you looking at?"

If you ask this, I won’t be sleepy or shy anymore!

Allen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face became much clearer - meaning it wasn't as red anymore.

"You want to know about this?"

Allen suddenly closed the book. This book looked very old. It seemed that it had been read many times in different eras. By observing the borrowing records of this book in the Hogwarts Library, Allen also saw that There are many names that have gone down in history in "History of Magic", or that will remain infamy for thousands of years. This book looks very mysterious, as if it has some kind of magical power.

Just looking at it gives you a terrifying feeling of being lost in it.

If you use a simple word to describe it, it can only be:

"indescribable"

And there is a line written on this thick book:

"The Encyclopedia of Prophecies: Divine Revelation and Oracles"

(Encyclopedia of prophecy: Apocalypse and Oracle)

Hermione felt like she was going crazy just looking at this book!

"What is this?" Hermione felt a little scared, and she suddenly felt that Allen's smile was a little scary.

Looking at Hermione's expression, Allen then remembered that this kind of indescribable knowledge was undoubtedly devastating and fatal to a wizard like Hermione who had just entered the profession. So he quickly apologized and said:

"I'm sorry. I'm just learning about Apocalypse."

"Divine revelation?" Hermione asked.
