The Years Welding at Hogwarts

In the end, Hermione and the others did not go to the library, but stayed in the auditorium to do their homework.

According to Xuehong, ah no, Lily, that’s not right either.

According to what Shirley heard from her seniors, Irma Pince, the librarian at Hogwarts, resembled a malnourished old vulture in human form.

Under her management, the library resembled a totalitarian state rather than a place of learning.

Her love for books was so strict that she could clearly remember how many scratches and stains there were on each book when it was checked out.

Whenever the books came back with something new added to them, she would lose her temper.

But aren’t books just for reading?

No matter how careful you are, you will inevitably encounter some bumps during the reading process.

But this was not tolerated by Mrs. Pince.

She wished she could seal each book with plastic wrap, then put it into beautifully decorated glass display cabinets and offer it as a sacrifice.

In addition, she could not tolerate any noise in the study room of the library.

Let alone a few people gathering together to chat happily like now, even discussing in a low voice the difficulties they encountered during homework would attract a feather duster attack from Mrs. Pince.

Compared with the library, it is more enjoyable to study by yourself in the auditorium.

When dinner time is over and other students leave the auditorium and close the door, the auditorium becomes the best study room.

Since there was only one History of Magic class today, Noah, who had no intention of doing any History of Magic homework, directly picked up a book that was obviously not a textbook and started reading.

Looking at the silver-black cover that she had never seen before in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, Miss Beaver, who had originally planned to do her Potions homework, was immediately attracted to it.

It’s just that the upside-down font obviously affects Hermione’s reading.

“What book is this?”

Noah slightly raised his head that was bent down while reading, and shook the book in his hand,”The Half-Blood Prince’s Notes on Dark Magic, the Black Magic Book.”

Hermione:???

When I typed this question mark, it wasn’t me who had a problem, but you who had a problem.

When Noah read out the name of the book, Shirley on the side didn’t have any special reaction and was still smiling. Tastingly eating the sweets she had just hidden during the dessert part of the dinner.

However, Hermione seemed to be frightened and stood there dumbfounded for a long time without reacting.

After a long while, she stammered. ,”You, you, how could you……”

According to what she read in the book”The Rise and Fall of Black Magic”, black magic is a type of evil spell that is cast with the purpose of harming others and based on negative emotions such as hatred, resentment, and murderous intent.

Wizards who study this type of magic are called dark wizards.

Precisely because performing black magic requires mobilizing one’s own negative emotions, most dark wizards have twisted and moody personalities due to long-term effects of these negative emotions.

A determined person can overcome these adverse effects of black magic to some extent or even completely.

For example, Albus Dumbledore.

Dumbledore is known as the greatest white magician in the wizarding world today. To obtain such a reputation, it is obviously not enough to study a single white magic.

Only by knowing enough about black magic can we study and decipher them in a targeted manner, and master the corresponding defensive magic, or white magic.

Therefore, Dumbledore, the great white wizard, actually mastered and was proficient in many kinds of black magic, but he never used it.

Another example is Gellert Grindelwald.

There is no need to say more about this first-generation Dark Lord who was once all-powerful and once spread his dominance to half of the magical world.

But as a little wizard like Noah, who is only eleven years old, in the eyes of others, it is obvious that he is not among such people who can completely escape the influence of black magic.

After all, he is not a son of destiny.

It’s no wonder that when she heard that Noah was reading a book of dark magic, Hermione’s reaction was as shocked as those conservative and traditional mothers who heard that their son had come out.

“This, this, this……”

She stuttered for a long time but failed to say the whole sentence completely. In the face of this completely unexpected situation, her wisdom was of no use for a while.

“That’s black magic!”

Seeing Noah’s disapproval, the little beaver stood up, leaned over the long table, and pressed the book in Noah’s hand.

“dark magic! Do you know the seriousness of this!”

After being interrupted, Noah raised his head helplessly, and his gray-green eyes met Hermione’s gaze.

“Isn’t it just black magic?”

“You already know that it is black magic, but you still……”

Putting down the book in his hand, Noah interrupted Hermione,”But do you know that the curse itself is not good or bad. Only humans, the wizards themselves, can distinguish between good and bad.”

Shirley restrained herself. When he is satisfied with his sweet tooth, he makes a purring sound like a cat, and he enters the state of watching the show with great interest.

Draco and Neville were so frightened by the little beaver’s hairy sea otter appearance that they trembled and dared not speak.

“But only dark wizards will learn and study black magic! You are a student at Hogwarts! Noah raised a finger and shook it in front of Hermione,”No, no, no, the world is not as black and white as you think, Miss Granger.””12

“I still say that magic itself is not good or bad, its nature should depend on who uses it and how it is used.”

“If I have malicious intentions, I can use even the most inconspicuous water spell to cause great harm to others.”

“But……”

Without giving Hermione a chance to argue, Noah spread his palm, and a clear drop of water suddenly appeared above his palm.

Water droplets continued to appear and gather, and the volume of the water polo also expanded rapidly during this process. It did not stop until it expanded to nearly the size of a basketball.

Noah’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the water ball he held in his palm suddenly started spinning crazily. The water flow gradually layered during the rotation, forming several extremely sharp high-pressure water blades.

He casually pulled off the licorice wand held in Shirley’s mouth next to him and threw it into the whirlpool. 2

This attracted Shirley’s death gaze, but the attention of the other three people was obviously focused on the crazily rotating water blade vortex.

In the blink of an eye, the licorice magic rod trapped in it was strangled into countless pieces by the violent water blade.

If it were bombarded on a human body… there is no doubt that it would be able to mince a good head like a meat grinder.

Hermione’s eyes widened in shock, you told me this is clear water like a spring! ?

Although the scene in front of her was shocking, Hermione, who was the strongest debater on the debate team when she was in elementary school, obviously would not be distracted by Noah so easily.

“But learning black magic will affect the wizard’s mind! If you continue like this, sooner or later you will become a……”4

“A what?”

He casually threw the water ball mixed with food scraps on the ground. After cleaning it and wiping away the traces, Noah still had that calm expression on his face.

His tone was full of disdain,”A lunatic. ?”

The girl bit her lower lip gently and didn’t say anything, but her meaning was clearly expressed.

“Magic should be the wizard’s tool, not the wizard’s master”

“Just like Albus Dumbledore, he also mastered a large amount of dark magic, but he is still known as the greatest white wizard in the wizarding world today. Do you know why?”

“This is impossible! Hermione said decisively,”How could Principal Dumbledore learn dark magic!””

Shirley, who was watching the show silently, couldn’t help but join in the debate,”Anyone who knows black magic must be a dark wizard, such as Slytherin House.”

Hermione was a little confused. What does this have to do with Slytherin House?

Noah answered Hermione’s doubts for Shirley.

“Her father, my temporary guardian, the Head of Slytherin House, Professor Severus Snape, was proficient in the dark arts.”

“But isn’t Slytherin House rich in dark wizards?……”

Hermione didn’t finish the second half of her sentence, which was – the headmaster of Slytherin House is proficient in dark magic. Isn’t that a matter of course?

Damn…

For a moment, both Noah and Shirley were choked by Hermione’s arbitrary and completely irresponsible inference.

Shirley slapped her forehead, making a crisp sound.

Sure enough, she shouldn’t have said this.

Noah also slapped himself on the forehead.

Breaking free from the speechless state, Noah lowered his arms

“Professor Dumbledore is also proficient in dark magic. If you ask him about this in person the next time you meet him, he will definitely be happy to answer your questions.”

“Not only the principal, but also many professors at Hogwarts have some mastery of dark magic.”

Shirley shrugged,”Although, my father’s black magic mastery may be, well, a little more than other deans.”

She stretched out two fingers and made a gesture in front of Hermione.

It was really just a few hundred million dots.

Hermione stared at Shirley doubtfully, but she couldn’t hear Shirley’s sincerity after looking at it for a long time. There is no trace of a lie on his expression.

Well, let’s put this problem aside for now.

Now there is another rather serious problem. The professors are able to learn and master black magic because they are all determined adult wizards.

But Noah… to Hermione, his current behavior is like a delinquent boy under 18 years old who is secretly reading… ah no, he is already reading books on 18-year-old banned subjects openly..

And it’s in front of two girls!

It’s shameless!

Bah! Disgusting! 5
