Harry Potter: The Legend of Demigods

"Hermione, the exams are still hundreds of years away." Ron complained in the Gryffindor common room.

"Ten weeks," Hermione retorted, "not hundreds of years, but the blink of an eye to Nicolas Flamel."

"But we are not six hundred years old," Ron reminded her, "and, anyway, why do you need to review, you already know everything."

"Why do I need to review? Are you crazy? Do you know that we need to pass these exams to advance to the second grade? They are very important. I should have started reviewing a month ago. I don't know what I was doing at that time. What's wrong? Look at Anakin again. He has such good grades and is reading books and reviewing. What reason do you have..."

"Hermione, let me interrupt, actually, I am reading extracurricular books." Anakin smiled, raised the book in his hand, and shook it towards Hermione.

Hermione's eyes widened suspiciously, and her brain seemed to be in chaos for an instant. "Wait, what did you say? Extracurricular books? Now?"

"Yeah, I'm studying some interesting knowledge about magical creatures, and I think it's more interesting than the exam." Anakin smiled, looking relaxed.

Hermione touched her forehead, as if to make sure she heard correctly. "You mean, you gave up reviewing and chose to read a thick extracurricular book?"

"Well, I guess life is more than just exams, right?" Anakin said frankly, "Besides, this knowledge is more like fun to me."

Hermione muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Can't you just be like ordinary people and take the exam seriously?"

Anakin smiled and patted Hermione on the shoulder: "Hermione, sometimes you have to stop and appreciate the scenery around you, otherwise you will miss some beautiful things. Moreover, we are only in the first year now. Moreover, If you ask Sirius, you will find that even Peter Pettigrew successfully graduated." Then he opened the book in his hand and started reading.

The reason why he read this book was of course to complete the previous task of taming 20 magical animals. After all, Anakin was still eager for the reward. It's weird to be running around with a suitcase, but what if there was a nature reserve inside? That's really cool!

"Ding, you have a new task, please check it out."

???

Now? Didn't I do something to trigger the task? Anakin opened the system page curiously.

Mission Objective: Defeat Hermione Granger

Current progress: Not completed

Mission introduction: Hermione Granger is probably the smartest student in her generation at Hogwarts. He ranked first in the grade in every final exam and was truly a genius. She is a perfectionist and always strives to show her abilities to others. She had read and memorized all the textbooks before entering Hogwarts. Defeating her and making her realize that there is always someone who can surpass her is also a necessary challenge for her growth.

Mission reward: 1000 experience, random Athena bloodline ability (incomplete)

No, although the system sounds nice and says it is a necessary challenge for her growth, this mission is a bit too much. It always feels a bit inhumane. After all, it is likely to damage Hermione's self-confidence.

Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. Although I am very greedy for rewards, it is not worth losing a friend for this.

......

library

Harry and the others were immersed in their homework. Suddenly, Anakin seemed to see a huge figure wearing a moleskin coat sneaking around in the library, rummaging for something. Anakin raised his head and saw that it was Hagrid standing there.

At this moment, Ron finally couldn't stand it anymore and threw the quill away. Staring longingly out of the library window.

"Hagrid! What are you doing in the library?" Hagrid immediately hid something behind his back.

"Just take a look," Hagrid said, his voice evasive.

"Are you here?" He suddenly looked suspicious. "Still looking for Nicolas Flamel, aren't you?" "

"Oh, we figured out who he was hundreds of years ago," Ron said triumphantly. "We also know what the dog is guarding. It's the Philosopher's Stone -"

"Hush!" Hagrid looked around quickly to see if anyone heard him. "Don't yell so loudly. What on earth do you want to do?"

It's like you didn't tell Voldemort how to pass Lu Wei. Anakin thought.

Should I remind them or not? About dragon eggs. Will Voldemort find out...

"To be honest, we have a few things to ask you," Harry said. "It's about the mechanism that protects the Sorcerer's Stone. Except for Lu Wei——"

"Shh -" Hagrid said again, "Listen - come to me later. Remember, I didn't promise to tell you anything, but don't talk nonsense here. There are some things students shouldn't know. They'll think I told you—"

"Well, see you later," Harry said. Hagrid stomped away.

In the end, Anakin decided to follow the original plot for the time being in case his little thoughts were discovered and killed by someone without a nose.

......

An hour later they knocked on the door of the gamekeeper's hut. All the curtains in the hut were drawn tightly. Hagrid first shouted "Who is it?" before letting them in, and then quickly turned around and closed the door. The cabin was suffocatingly hot, and there was a roaring fire in the fireplace. Hagrid made them tea and served ferret sandwiches.

"Take some, it's quite delicious." Hagrid recommended. Harry Ron shook his head quickly. They had stayed away from Hagrid's cooking skills since the last time they ate rock biscuits. After all, their back molars hurt every time they thought about Hagrid's cooking skills.

"I'll forget it, my tooth still hurts a little. I should go to a Muggle to have my teeth checked during the summer vacation." Anakin continued to use the same routine as before.

"Anakin, if you want to see a dentist, you can come to my house and I can ask my father to give you a discount." Hermione said, and Anakin then remembered that Hermione's family used to be a dentist.

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time." Anakin smiled at Hermione and replied.

"I...I just ate something and I can't eat anymore." Hailey thought for a moment and came up with a reason.

"So - you have something to ask me?"

"Yes." Harry said. "We want to know, besides Lu Wei, what other mechanisms protect the Magic Stone?" Hagrid frowned at them.

"We are actually just curious about the design of this mechanism and the magic applied to it." Hailey said, putting down the tea cup she was holding.

"Yes, we just want to know who designed those mechanisms." Hermione said. "We just want to know, besides you, who else does Dumbledore trust to help him."

After hearing these last words, Hagrid puffed up his chest. Harry and the others smiled with satisfaction at Hermione.
