struggle

After settling Hagrid's affairs, Draco's face was gloomy for several days, and he firmly refused to take Hagrid's class again, thinking that it would not guarantee his safety.It's just that his disappointed expression made Ron even more gloating, and he became more active every time he went to the protection class of magical creatures.

And although Harry has already partially mastered the use of the Patronus Charm, he will not faint like in the original book, but the thing he is most afraid of is obviously the dementor, and in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he looked at it with a pale face. Instead of the "funny funny" spell, the dementor conjured by the Boggart casts a subconscious "call god guard", which still fails.Therefore, at Lupine's request, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to his office every Wednesday night for extra classes, focusing on strengthening the study and training of the Patronus Charm, so that they could prevent possible accidents.

So, every Wednesday night after returning, Ron would have a sad face, as if he was exhausted and collapsed on the sofa in the common room, unwilling to move, while constantly muttering that the spell was too difficult to learn and too tiring up.And Hermione would take Ginny to discuss the secret of the spell with her after returning to the dormitory, and it was obvious that only she really enjoyed it.And after Sirius came once, Lupine even called Ginny together, and the scope of teaching expanded from simple Patronus Charms to various higher-level spells, making Ginny secretly guess that this is Not at Dumbledore's behest.After all, the four of them should be regarded as the most promising successors of the Order of the Phoenix, and in the face of the current tense situation, Dumbledore obviously prefers to cultivate the future backbone of the Order of the Phoenix early in Gryffindor.

After each training session, Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat on the chairs to rest panting, but Ginny didn't feel tired at all. Instead, she felt that the flow of magic power was smoother, as if through continuous learning. She mobilized her magic power, and gradually brought those things that did not belong to her under her control.But she secretly concealed this situation, but also showed an exhausted look, trying to restrain her increasingly refined magic power.

When Hogwarts was gradually getting colder, the four of them had already learned a lot of advanced spells in their after-school training.Because Ginny concealed her true strength, Harry was the one who learned the best, but Hermione's omnipotence lost to the highly talented savior in Defense Against the Dark Arts, which made her unwilling to reconcile herself in private. practice more diligently.

One day, after training, all four of them lazily leaned on their chairs, too tired to move.With a wave of his wand, Lupine made the fire burn brighter in the fireplace, and at the same time summoned black tea for them.Holding the steaming black tea, sitting around the warm fireplace, the comfortable feeling almost makes people sleepy.Only suddenly, the cupboard under Lupin's desk shook, shaking and making a thumping sound.Ginny asked curiously, "Remus, what is that?"

"That's a Boggart. We already learned how to deal with him in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Ginny, you are in the second grade, so you haven't learned it yet." Before Lupine could answer, Ron rushed to say, " Professor Lupine used him to train Harry for the Patronus Charm a while ago."

"Really?" Ginny stared at the trembling cupboard with interest.

"Yeah, he turned out a spider when he faced me, and a dementor when he faced Harry, and when he faced Hermione..." Ron suddenly sneered, "It's Professor McGonagall. , was telling her she was failing all her grades."

Hermione glared at him angrily, and Harry also lowered his head and pretended to cough, covering the smile at the corner of his mouth with his hand, and even the corner of Lupine's mouth turned up slightly.Ginny looked at her dull brother helplessly, and sighed secretly how he would catch up with Hermione in the future, but Ron didn't notice it at all, and stood up excitedly: "Ginny, I'm going to release the Boggart, See what he will do to you." Without waiting for Lupine to stop him, he ran over and opened the cupboard door.

As Ron pulled it open, a huge black spider rushed out of the door, baring its teeth and claws at Ron, while he waved his wand skillfully: "Funny, funny!" The spider immediately tap danced, obviously The training for a while has improved Ron's ability a lot.At the same time, he pulled Ginny aside and pushed her towards the Boggart: "Look quickly, what will he become?"

Ginny was staggered by his push, and at the same time, the Boggart suddenly changed into a man dressed in black, and his face was clearly Tom's, with a malicious smile on his face, watching She seemed to be looking at a bird that couldn't escape from a cage, and the black muzzle of the gun in her hand was aimed at her chest.Ginny froze on the spot for a moment, staring blankly at him getting closer and closer, as if she had become the Muggle without magic power in her previous life again, and could only wait helplessly for the imminent danger.Until Lupine jerked her away, stood in front of her, and waved his wand at the Boggart who had turned into a silver sphere again: "Funny funny!" and forced the Boggart back into the cupboard.

Ron obviously didn't expect this to happen, and stood there at a loss, while Hermione rushed over immediately and hugged the pale Ginny: "Ginny, how are you, is there anything wrong?"

"I'm fine, I'm probably just not ready for a while." Ginny helped Hermione stand up, and sat on a stool beside her.

"Ginny, this magic is very simple, why can't you deal with it?" Ron obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, "And, who is that man? What is he holding in his hand?"

"He is Voldemort, the Voldemort that Ginny and I saw in the Chamber of Secrets." Harry replied in a deep voice.When Ron heard the name, his body suddenly trembled visibly, while Lupine and Hermione looked thoughtful.But Harry didn't look at the different expressions of the other three, but stared at Ginny in confusion: "Just, Ginny, why isn't he holding a wand but a Muggle pistol?"

Ginny lowered her head and replied in a fearful voice: "I don't understand either, maybe because I saw that kind of thing in a Muggle newspaper once, and according to the description in the newspaper, it should be It is a very powerful weapon in the Muggle world, and many murderers use it. It can kill a person instantly, and the effect is similar to that of Avada, so I remembered it." In a hurry, she could only Finding out such an argument should make sense, only she herself understands that this Boggart is a mixture of things that she was afraid of in her past and present lives.

Ron muttered in bewilderment: "Why haven't I seen this kind of thing before?" But Hermione gave him a sideways glance: "Ron, you don't even read the wizard's "Daily Prophet" very much, you will go to Read Muggle newspapers? That's why I usually ask you to read more books." Ron glanced at her in disbelief, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions, which made Ginny secretly heave a sigh of relief.

Lupine finally stood up and patted Ginny on the shoulder comfortingly: "I was negligent, because it is a simple spell, so I didn't teach you specifically. I will make it up for you next time. Today, everyone go back to rest. "

The four nodded, stood up together, bowed slightly to Lupine and walked out of his office.On the way back to the Gryffindor tower without a word, Hermione hurriedly said goodbye to the two boys, and then took Ginny back to their dormitory.Seeing that Ginny was still a little distracted, she wisely didn't bother her anymore, but took off her robe, put on her pajamas, and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

And Ginny raised her head slowly after Hermione closed the bathroom door, walked to Hermione's bed, reached out and groped among the clothes she had taken off, took out a long and delicate gold chain, and slowly Slowly twist the timer below.The surrounding scene suddenly began to blur, and it kept moving backwards. When it finally stopped, there was no one in the dormitory, and the wall clock on the wall also turned from nine o'clock back to seven o'clock.

Ginny put away the Time-Turner and sneaked out of the Gryffindor tower.As early as the beginning of school, she used this method to secretly use her time-turner while Hermione was taking a bath every day, freeing up a period of time that no one would find out, and used it to practice some advanced dark skills in the Room of Requirement. Magic, successfully concealed from everyone.But today, she was feeling a little unexpectedly irritable, obviously not suitable for practicing those dangerous magic, so she simply used the time-turner to give herself a space to calm down and straighten out her thoughts.

The wind at night was already bitingly cold, so Ginny cast a warming spell on herself, and using the secret path she learned from George and Fred, she walked out of the main castle alone and came to the Forbidden Forest.The dense trees around covered the sky and blocked the bright moonlight. The deeper it went, the darker it became, and there were unknown beasts roaring from time to time.It's just that no one would come here, so Ginny strolled inside to settle her mood.

Ever since the plot went off the rails, she began to fear this uncontrollable situation. Even though she tried her best to keep working hard based on what she knew, Tom was obviously still the deepest fear in her heart.His ambiguous attitude, his tyrannical and terrifying strength, his unfathomable thoughts, and even her own inexplicable feelings about him all made her feel uneasy and even scared, while Boggart A faithful reflection of her deepest fears.

The surrounding air was freezing cold, maybe it was because of the cooling of the weather, or because of the presence of the dementors, or maybe even because of her own inner uncertainty about the future.Somewhat irritated and unable to think of a clue, Ginny simply raised her wand: "Call God for protection!" Silver bats flew out from the tip of the wand, circling her, giving her a sense of peace of being protected.However, the bat flying in front of her was suddenly entangled by a giant silver snake that jumped out from behind her, restraining its wings, making it unable to spread its wings and escape.At the same time, an elegant and seductive voice sounded: "Ginny, I'm so excited."
