Today is Hogsmeade Day. On this day, the little wizards can go to the Hogsmeade Wizarding Village to enjoy themselves-this can be said to be quite an expectation.

However, no matter how curious you are, it is an activity that can only be approved by students of at least third grade.For a first-year student like Alexander, even if he heard about it from the seniors, it would only be a futile effort.

But relatively speaking, the learning burden of the first and second grades must be the lightest.Especially the first-year freshmen who have just entered Hogwarts, compared to the fifth and seventh graders who have to face major exams, it is as easy as being on vacation every day!

Of course, at this point, Alexander does not think.

Ever since Snape included Bogut in the weekly compulsory Defense Against the Dark Arts class, everyone was suffering from repeated shocks.

Bogut will change into the most feared thing in everyone's heart, and fear this thing can be overcome casually?Just in the constant cycle of panic, the little wizards gradually became numb.Regardless of whether other things can cause them to panic or not, at least slowly, the things they fear most seem to become less scary.

Yes, everyone has made progress to varying degrees, and the effect can be said to be quite significant.

Unfortunately, Alexander just couldn't overcome it.Even if he was the first child to realize Snape's intentions, even if he was the first to find out what spells should be used against Bogut, he still couldn't use them.

He knew that Bogut's expulsion curse, which was not much more difficult than a magic wand, could turn the object of fear into ridiculous, but he could not deal with his mother's body;

He knew that laughing was actually Bogut's most annoying thing, but he couldn't laugh at his mother's miserable appearance.

He knows even more that even though everyone’s fears have been diminished during exercises, he has repeatedly recalled the scorched black arm that slumped in front of him when he opened his eyes in the square and the flashing ring. Silver light.

"How can real fear be overcome casually?"

Alexander lay under the shade of the trees by the lake, squinting at the fine sunlight through the cracks of the branches and leaves, and the air was full of the fragrance of earth.But no matter how fresh the smell was, it could not dispel the strong bloody smell he had in his memory.

"call……"

Alexander let out a sigh of relief, then turned over and stood up from the grass, walking slowly along the lake shore to the south.

That direction is where you boarded the boat on the lake when you first came to Hogwarts.Except for the freshmen's usual sailing, no one would go there, so it was always quiet.

But when Alexander walked along the lake for a while, he seemed to hear something vaguely, and he couldn't help but pick up the direction of the sound.Before long, he found that the voice became more and more clear and identifiable as he continued to move forward, and unexpectedly became familiar.

"This voice... is it Ens?"

After a little speculation, his pace became faster.And when he walked around a few big trees and a thick undergrowth that was not cleaned by anyone, a figure immediately caught his eye.

"...Except your weapons!"

It was indeed Ensi—the first classmate he knew. Although they had hardly spoken to each other since they were assigned to different colleges, he still remembered the appearance of each other very clearly.

The incompetent figure, the short black hair, the well-proportioned but unexpectedly scornful facial features, and of course the other party’s words that will never be so good, gave Alexander a deep impression. .

"Except for your weapons!"

It was another powerful wand, and another clear spell, but there was no magical brilliance as imagined.Obviously, the other party was practicing the spell, but he did not succeed.

"Ens?"

When the opponent failed again, Alexander, standing by the big tree behind, called out.Ensi immediately turned his head and frowned and looked over here.

"It's you?" He paused, and then said impatiently, "Don't disturb me."

After that, Ensi turned around again, and waved his wand toward the trunk in front of him.

Alexander didn't care. He stepped out of the thick grass and walked a few steps to the clearing where Enns was in front.Although the opponent's attitude of refusal was clear, he didn't care.

"Are you practicing the disarming spell?" Alexander asked, "Why? Isn't that a spell that you only learn in second grade?"

Originally Alexander didn't think Ens would answer—just the other person's character, it would be considered face-saving if he didn't scold him to stay away from this neighborhood.Unexpectedly, although the other party still glared at him, he still made a specific response.

"It seems that you have also previewed it?" Ens stared at Alexander and looked at it. "If you can start practicing earlier, why delay to the second grade?"

"What about the first-year spell? Can you cast it easily?" Alexander asked in surprise.

Ensi curled his lips and snorted softly.

"I just want to learn what is useful," he said, "for example-all petrochemicals!"

This guy didn't just recite a spell casually, he really stretched out his wand toward Alexander.And when Alexander saw that the tip of the other party's stick was swiped, he hurried to the side and fell to the ground.

Ensi's curse worked, but Alexander's evasion was very timely, and the effect of the whole body restraint curse only worked on a bush.Alexander glanced back at the utterly still bush, and then got up quickly.

"What are you doing!" Even with his good temper, he couldn't help but get a little angry now.

"I'm showing you the curse?" Ensi spread his hands indifferently, "How about it, the effect is good? Or if you don't move, I'll show it to you again, and let you feel hit by the whole body restraint curse. feel?"

"you--"

Alexander was so angry that he didn't know what to say.

"Okay, is it all right?" Ensi shook his head, "If it's all right, don't bother me, I'm going to continue practicing! I'm not interested in guys like you who spend their days leisurely—"

"Legs stand stiff to death!" "Hey-oh!"

This is a leg-locking curse-Ensi, whose weight was unstable and fell because his legs suddenly came together, immediately reacted.But the curse came so suddenly, he just turned around and didn't notice it, so that he was hit without any suspense.

"Curse Listop! Curse Listop—damn, I haven't learned this curse yet!" Ensi lay halfway on the ground, waving his stick at his tight legs again and again, but Can't be solved.

There are two general anti-curses, but either one is the same as the disarming curse. It is a curse that will not be included in the learning range until the second grade.

"Now do you still think I am a student of'leisure life'?" Alexander asked angrily.

"Okay! You are not!" Ens said angrily, "Then, Alexander, who is not a leisurely life, must have learned a lot of spells, right? I ask you, can you use General Anti-curse? "

"Uh..." Alexander's expression froze, "I've been practicing those in the first grade!"

"Damn it!" Ensi slapped his legs close together, and then sighed, "I remember... the time limit of the leg-locking spell is two hours, right? Two full hours!"

"Why... I'm going to find the professor?" Alexander scratched his scalp and hesitated.

"Don't!" Ensi waved his hand immediately, "I don't want to be jokes... Besides, if the professor finds out, you bastard will be punished!"

After that, he raised his head and lay on the ground, staring at the sky in a daze.

"The curse stops--"

Suddenly, Alexander tried to wave his wand.Speaking of the wand movement and the syllables of the spell, he still remembers clearly, but without the teacher's specific demonstration and various analysis and interpretation, how can one or two attempts succeed?

Not surprisingly, his spellcasting also failed.

"Don't waste your effort," Ens picked a grass root and held it to his mouth, chewing casually, "Bah! Bitter and astringent... Well, according to what you just said, I guess you haven't studied it carefully. Have you ever tried a general anti-curse? I've thought about it several times, but I haven't succeeded even once, so don't even think about it!"

"Yeah! I know how easy magic can be learned..." Alexander tried again, and then simply sat down beside him, "Just try it."

"Hey..." Ens said with a bored look, "Hey, let's talk about it! It's been a while since Hogwarts, is there anything interesting to hear? Otherwise, just wait like that, boring and boring. died……"

Perhaps because of this leg-locking curse, he also has the most direct understanding of Alexander, so he has more willingness to talk than before.

"Interesting thing?" Alexander thought for a while, "Speaking of which, there seems to be something this morning... In our Gryffindor common room, a gift box appeared inexplicably, and it looked quite upscale. ."

"Gift box?" Ensi smacked his tongue and interrupted the other party. "What kind of'interesting thing' is this?"

"Listen first!" Alexander waved his hand. "There is a line written on the wrapping paper of the gift box, saying that there is a box of chocolates mixed with blessings, and whoever wants to take it. But... …"

He was about to continue speaking, but suddenly he heard a rustling movement, so he stopped talking about it, holding his wand and looking in the direction of the sound.

"who?"

It seems Ens has also noticed.
