Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

Next, the conflict between the Ministry of Magic and the Death Eaters is bound to escalate, Anduin thought, closing the newspaper.

But all of that is irrelevant to me for the time being. Without the guarantee of strength, one can only be at the mercy of others.

After thinking for a while, Anduin put down the newspaper and prepared to continue his spell research, but before that, Anduin had one more thing to do, which was to reply to Lily and Sirius.

In fact, Anduin had received their letters a few days ago, but at that time, Anduin was a little obsessed with practicing spells and didn't have time to reply.

He first opened Sirius's letter, which read:

"Hahaha, Anduin, you were sorted into Slytherin, that's bad luck for you. If I remember correctly, you're a Muggle-born wizard, right? Those pure-blood bastards in Slytherin will swallow you alive. When I was at Hogwarts, I used to prank those Slytherin bastards a lot. You have to be careful, don't get stunned by some stray curse while walking, and wake up to find yourself naked in front of the girls' restroom."

"If you want my advice, I can only suggest you get your act together quickly. Slytherins are a bunch of bullies who are afraid of the strong. If you scare them, no one will dare to provoke you. The professors at school can't keep an eye on you all the time. Professor Flitwick is just a bookworm who only knows how to study magic. Professor Slughorn has always been a nice guy and basically doesn't care about his own house. And Professor McGonagall is always terribly strict. You can go to him if you have trouble, but you have to be prepared to serve detention yourself."

"Good news, I'm now the godfather of Lily and James's child. You don't know how cute Harry is. Lily and I discussed it and want to invite you to visit us after Christmas. I can teach you a few tricks then, what do you think?"

"Poor Anduin, I have to get busy lately. Recently, many Death Eaters are cruelly torturing Muggles. Be careful yourself."

"Your faithful friend, Sirius Black."

After reading Sirius's letter, Anduin no longer had any expectations of him. This guy is just a reckless man who only knows how to act, and he even had time to mock Anduin in the letter.

Anduin basically ignored the content of Sirius's letter and took out parchment to reply to him.

In the letter, Anduin complained about Sirius, telling him not to just make sarcastic remarks, that he could hardly make any friends in Slytherin, and said that he would be there for the Christmas holidays, and by the way, asked him what Christmas gift he wanted.

After writing the reply to Sirius, he sealed the letter and prepared to send it out tomorrow morning when the owls came to deliver the newspaper, and then opened Lily's letter.

Lily was much more reliable than Sirius. She wrote in the letter:

"Dear Anduin,"

"I'm sorry for replying to you so late. Harry is only a little over a month old, and as a new mother, I'm afraid of messing things up from the start."

"As for you being sorted into Slytherin, my opinion is that there is no need to worry too much about it. The Sorting Hat must have its considerations. Slytherin House is not that scary. Every house has kind and righteous people. Although some wizards do go astray after graduation, we can't assume that this represents everyone. A friend of mine when I was in school was also sorted into Slytherin House, and we have also encountered wizards from other houses among the Death Eaters we are facing now."

"Anduin, you are very similar to me. We are both Muggle-born wizards, but you are different from me. You, who have lived alone since childhood, are stronger than me. I believe you can overcome difficulties. I hope you don't get lost and stay true to your beliefs."

"I recently received a letter from Professor Flitwick telling me that you have been invited to join the Charms Club, which is great. I remember I was only invited to join the Charms Club in my third year."

"I spent a very fulfilling time there. It was also in the Charms Club that I learned and researched some special protective magic in depth. I remember I still have a lot of research data on protective magic left in the club. I hid them on the bookshelf behind the podium, in a book on the bottom shelf, Wilbert Slinkard's 'Theory of Magical Defense'. You can find it and take a look if you are interested."

"When Harry turned one month old, James and I invited Sirius to be his godfather. He seemed extremely happy. We are planning to hold a small banquet after Christmas. Sirius suggested that we invite you. James and I would be very happy if you could come."

"Best wishes, your faithful friend, Lily Potter."

Anduin was very touched after reading Lily's letter. He had no connection with her, no relationship whatsoever, but Lily still unreservedly conveyed her kindness to him.

Anduin then immediately began to write a reply to Lily.

In the letter, Anduin expressed his gratitude to Lily and was very happy to be invited to attend their dinner party, and he would definitely be there on time, and sincerely wished the Potter couple and his child Harry, and again reminded Lily to protect her safety, 'even at home'.

After writing the reply, Anduin also put the letter away, ready to send it out together tomorrow.

After that, Anduin continued his spell studies.

The next day, after sending the letters, Anduin didn't bother with the affairs of Slytherin and Gryffindor, nor did he go to Charles again.

Today he planned to visit Hagrid. Since entering school, Anduin hadn't visited Hagrid yet. After all, they had eaten dragon liver together at the Leaky Cauldron. So after finishing a day's classes, Anduin took a few cans of seasoning from his room, packed them up, and walked towards Hagrid's hut.

When he enrolled, Anduin had asked Hagrid where he lived. His hut was not close to Hogwarts Castle. After passing through Clock Square and crossing a long and straight covered bridge, Anduin came to a circular stone pile. To the right was the school's owlery, and to the left along the road was Hagrid's hut.

After identifying the road, Anduin walked towards Hagrid's hut. On the way, there were students dating and playing in groups of twos and threes. The further he went towards the hut, the sparser the population became.

Finally, Anduin saw a slightly simple hut standing far ahead, surrounded by some thriving vegetables and fruits.
