Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 77 Tranquility and Heartwarming

In the rare collective silence, the school dinner ended and everyone was immersed in the alarming news of the psychedelic presence in Hogwarts.

It is well known that the Dementors, as one of the most evil creatures known to date, flock together in the darkest and dirtiest places, cheering for corruption and despair and draining all the peace, hope and happiness in the surrounding air.

Too close to a Dementor, any good feeling, any happy memories of you will be sucked away by it.

If you can do it, it will depend on you for a long time, and eventually it will make you like it, without soul, and evil, leaving you only the worst memory of your life.

These horrific creatures have long been guards of Azkaban, the Wizard Prison, who guards the most sinister dark wizards in the magic world.

But now they come to Hogwarts, what does that mean?

Everyone seems to sense something, but nobody wants to think about it.

Everyone returned silently to their respective public lounges and no one spoke, but Ivan heard a lot of nuanced arguments. The names of Dementors, Azkaban, Sirius Black, and Harry Potter were repeatedly mentioned. He wondered if it was an illusion. He found that many people, especially students from the Wizard family, were unconsciously far from Harry, and they must have heard something from their parents.

Thirteen years ago, Sirius Black was arrested for no secret, but nobody wanted to mention it.

This climate of repression has made Ivan very uncomfortable, and it is not a good idea to leave the panic to continue spreading without blackmail due to a lack of understanding of the Phantom. He hesitated for a moment to see how early it was and decided to take advantage of the heat and write several articles introducing the Psychic series when all little wizards were still interested.

He spoke to Colin and turned directly to the library for information.

In the library, Mrs. Pines, the administrator, looked at Ivan with suspicion and she obviously had an impression of the child.

In the last semester, the student nearly doubled the entire library in just one year, from the simplest entrance spell to the profound taboo magic, the vast majority of which children of this age should not have mastered.

Mrs. Pince shook her head and thought about her sophomore year when she couldn't do anything but make the wand shine, and this child...

She remembered her reaction when she told Dumbledore about it.

It's amazing how Dumbledore told her calmly to leave it alone, even allowing the child to read books in the restricted book area.

Dumbledore must be old and confused in Mrs. Pines's opinion.

She wouldn't be surprised if the child became a black wizard in the future. Take a look at the book he came to this time, all about the Dementors.

Seeing the name of this evil creature, Mrs. Pines unconsciously punched a shiver, which is too horrible. Which normal sophomore student would come to find this dark creature's book on the first day of school?!

Ivan, unaware of his image in Mrs. Pines's eyes, had already painted an equal sign with the Dark Wizard.

When he returned to the public lounge with more than a dozen heavy magic books, he found that everyone but Hermione went to bed in the bedroom.

“You're back!” Hermione looked up at Ivan, pointing at the cup in front of him and said, "I heard from Colin that you went to the library to find information about the psychedelic, so I decided to wait for you for a while, and this is the hot chocolate I prepared for you! ”

“Thank you!” Ivan gratefully picked up the cup and drank it. It felt good. After a hard night at the library, someone came back for him...

The second sip had not been swallowed, he immediately threw up and gave a painful expression on his face. This hot chocolate did not contain sugar and the taste was too bitter.

It seemed like Ivan would have expected such a reaction, Hermione laughed and said, “This thing helps to refresh me when I need to hit my energy! ”

She also put the same drink in front of her, already half drunk.

Ivan forced himself to take another little sip, his stomach twitched for a while, but he did concentrate a lot, and he saw Hermione marking the time repeatedly on a parchment paper, and he asked strangely, “Hermione, what are you doing? ”

“Organize my curriculum. You know, I have a bit more classes this semester and I'm scared..."

Through the light of the furnace fire, Ivan saw Hermione's full schedule.

Had he not known Hermione had a time converter, he would have thought she'd mixed up her schedule.

For example, tomorrow morning at 9: 00, she's going to divination class; at the same time, she's going to Muggle Studies class.

“You've got almost all the time!” Ivan said worried, "Don't be silly, Hermione! Even with the help of a time converter, you can't take so many lessons at the same time. Over time, your body will be irresistible. ”

“Oh, yeah, you know, after all, you used this thing last year.” Hermione took a watch-shaped item out of his clothes, "don't worry for me, Evan, I've completely talked to Professor McGonagall! ”

“Don't think I don't know what you're up to, you do think about everything, but you ignore your physical condition.” Ivan hastily said, "Hermione, you're not a ghost, you can't sleep 24 hours a day. Let me see, there are some classes you don't have to take at all. For example, divination classes and arithmetic divination classes have duplication, and Muggle research is completely useless to you. ”

“But studying them from the perspective of the magic world can be fascinating.” Hermione looked sincerely at Ivan.

“Listen to me, you have to give up a few doors...”

“No, I want to try!” Hermione insisted, "You know, we're all wizards from Muggle, and I want to prove that I'm not worse than the others. ”

“You don't have to prove anything, you're already the best! ”

“Not enough, Percy got 12 O.W.L.S certificates last year; and, compared to you, I...” Hermione's voice is getting lower and lower.

The atmosphere suddenly silenced and no one spoke.

Crookshanks combed his hair in front of the fireplace and shouted comfortably, looking strangely at the two.

“Well, since you insist.” For a long time, Evan sighed, "but you have to promise me, you have to do what you can, okay? ”

Hermione nodded red-handedly and felt the atmosphere was slightly wrong. Evan sounded a little like...

She was so anxious to get those books back at Ivan, she said, "Well, did you find a book about introducing the psychedelic? ”

“Not a single book, all the information in the library about the Dementors is here, there's more than enough to open a Dementors topic in the newspaper, are you ready to help? ”

“Of course!” Hermione nodded.

The silver-white moonlight crept in and the furnace was still burning.

Outside the school, the Gryffindor public lounge is quiet and quiet at a time when the Gryffindor slips through the horror and despair atmosphere from time to time.

Ivan and Hermione studied the habits, survival, methods of attack, and their dark history, as well as ways to defeat them.

“The spell of defense against the Dementor is the Guardian God spell. Using this spell requires concentration, thinking about the happiest thing in your heart, and saying the Echo Guardian! ”

Hermione pointed her finger at the contents of the book and said softly, "When this spell fully works, it can summon the full patron saint, which is different for everyone, because it is a symbol of the heart. ”

Hermione read the phrase "symbol of the heart” twice, looking up uncertainly and saying, "Evan, I remember you on the train, summoning the guardian saint is...”

“Don't even think about it, Hermione!” Ivan couldn't help but look down on the sleeping Crook Mountain by the fireplace and stare at it for a long time before blushing slowly and explaining, "That must be a coincidence, it just looks like it! ”

“Really?” Hermione closed her eyes and heard Ivan say that, she was also a little uncertain.

At that time, the atmosphere in the cabin was so dark, Evan's patron saint flashed again, Hermione was not sure if she could see clearly, maybe it was just a coincidence!
