Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

……

Time passed by and the day came when the second grade students were taking Defense Against the Dark Arts class. As in the first year, the little wizards of Gryffindor House were in class with the little wizards of Slytherin House, with whom they fell in love.

Ever since Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were deducted 100 points before the start of school, the conflict between the little wizards of Gryffindor and the little wizards of Slytherin has become more and more intense. The reason for this is of course that the Slytherin wizards began to mock the Gryffindor wizards as soon as they saw them.

So this semester, the relationship between the two houses is even worse than before. Even in the Potions class, Professor Snape began to tolerate the little Slytherin wizards below him being rude to the Gryffindor wizards. Pranks and more.

"Noel, I still need to complain to you, why did Principal Dumbledore let that liar be our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor?"

Thinking of going to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class soon, Hermione instantly lost her appetite while drinking pumpkin porridge. She kept tapping the wooden bowl with a wooden spoon, making bursts of dull sounds, just like she was at this moment. The mood is the same.

"Maybe Principal Dumbledore is afraid that students will be too bored this semester. Find a wizard who likes to stir up the atmosphere around him so that our study life will not be too boring."

Looking at the Prophet's newspaper in his right hand, Noel gently placed the cup of hot milk in his left hand on the dining table and explained to Hermione, who had the reason written all over her forehead.

"Merlin's beard, I don't believe the reason you gave me? Hmph!"

"Haha, don't be angry. As far as I know, Mr. Dumbledore has no choice. It is said that the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been cursed by Voldemort, and no wizard can serve in this position. It's been more than a year, so no wizard is willing to apply to be our Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher.

However, if Principal Dumbledore really wanted to find a wizard willing to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, Gilderoy Lockhart would get out of Hogwarts immediately. "

"Well, I really hope Principal Dumbledore can find a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor soon. Otherwise, my Defense Against the Dark Arts grades will be ruined because of that liar."

After listening to Noel's explanation, Hermione's depressed mood finally eased, and she regained her desire for the breakfast in front of her.

Hearing that Hermione was still worried about her Defense Against the Dark Arts grades, Noel rolled his eyes at Hermione, mentally complaining about this "magician" who had received tens of millions of bounties in the world of One Piece.

……

"Please allow me to introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart. I am a third-class recipient of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and a five-time winner..."

Watching Gilderoy coming down the stairs and starting to brag about himself, the little wizards below didn't give him any face and booed him.

However, as a veteran who has been in society for many years, Gilderoy ignored what the young wizards below thought of him and continued his autobiographical speech.

"Hermione, do you want to see a gorgeous show?"

Looking at Hermione beside her, who was a little depressed, Noel used his mental power to speak in her mind.

"What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that he will deduct points if you go out of your way? Oh no! You can't let us Gryffindor students do this!"

After hearing Noel's words, Hermione didn't realize for a moment what Noel was going to do to give a "gorgeous" performance in this class, but she saw Noel staring at several Gryffindors with evil eyes. After the little wizard, Hermione hurriedly opposed his mischief with righteous words.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Then I'll let Gilderoy do his one-man show."

Looking at Hermione with a look that I will never forgive you if we deduct points from Gryffindor, Noel could only let Gilderoy perform a one-man show.

With Noel's evil laugh, Gilderoy fell into some kind of illusion and began a passionate and majestic one-man drama performance.

Because Noel sketched a plot similar to Roman Holiday in his mind, the young wizards present saw a certain recipient of the third-class Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic Alliance, and a five-time winner of... The wizard begins his search for love.

Just like that, with Gilderoy's unremitting efforts, all the little wizards present laughed. After all, no one can watch a person performing a play hard without being deeply moved by it.

……

"How did you do it? I didn't even feel the fluctuation of your magic power!"

In Noel's potion room, after Hermione handed Noel the heart of a marsh frog, she couldn't help but curiously asked him how he made Gilderoy fall into a fantasy and return to normal.

And the most outrageous thing is that after class, Gilderoy naturally thought that he had given the young wizards present a very emotional lesson on the plot of the novel.

"Every wizard apprentice will face the problem of choosing a path after being promoted to a formal wizard, whether to follow the path taken by their predecessors or explore their own path. If you choose to take the path taken by their predecessors, then you will always reach the end of the journey. It is not the end of the road, because there is a pioneer of the road standing in front of you. But if you choose to explore your own path, then you may master the truth, and this kind of wizard is called a truth wizard.

And I chose my own path. My path is the path of the soul, the path to explore the secrets of the souls of all living things, so now I have mastered some soul magic. There is no need to cast magic power, just a little bit of soul power to complete it.

I just cast a soul magic called "Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water" on Gilderoy. To put it simply, it is an illusion. The person who is affected by this magic will not notice anything. What he thinks he sees is... Everything I do is subjectively perceived and decided by myself, but in fact this is what I want him to see and do.

It's almost like hypnotism in the Muggle world.

If you want to learn, you have to advance to become a senior wizard apprentice. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous to learn now, because this soul magic has a drawback. You cannot cast it on people with stronger soul power than you, because it is very easy to be counterattacked. . "

For a little wizard like Hermione who loves to seek knowledge, Noel very generously revealed his path as a wizard. Of course, this is not because Hermione is his other half, no.

"Then, doesn't that mean that if you originate, you can control all the wizards here at will?!"

Hermione was completely surprised by Noel...
