Chapter 12: Halloween Part I
The magic circle is a wonderful thing in the wizarding world. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It was originally thought to be a tool for wizards to communicate between heaven and earth, and then it was slowly transformed into alchemy, of course, because of the magic array's confinement and convergence of magic, many advanced magics also need the support of the magic array.
The safest way for Heli's loss of power is to place people in a magic circle and slowly recover their magic power.
The magic array needs a relatively large space, and at the same time it needs to be quiet enough, after all, once the complex magic array is arranged, it cannot be moved or modified. This process often requires an experienced wizard to watch over and deal with the various problems that may arise.
As for the location of the magic circle, it was set in the screaming shack at Lupin's strong suggestion and Snape's strong dissatisfaction.
After spending countless valuable alchemy materials, a small magic circle was built, and Heli was limited in her range of movement, knowing that her magic power had returned to normal.

The incident in Defence Against the Dark Arts class didn't affect everyone's love for the lesson and for Lupin, except for the students in Slajelin. For the next few weeks, most of the students were enjoying their Defence Against the Dark Arts lessons. Even in Potions class, Snape's occasional roar reminded Harry Potter that if you want to be happy, you have to endure more pain.
As the number of days Holly recuperated in the Screaming Shack increased, the number of points that Harry Potter had been deducted by Snape on campus was increasing at an alarming rate. If nothing else, Gryffindor House should have said goodbye to the House Cup before the first Quidditch match. For this reason, Gryffindor House was not as active as it used to be, until the end of October, when the first Hogsmeade weekend arrived, and Harry, who had not received a signed license from Dusley's house, was unhappy.
After more than a month of recuperation, Holly finally recovered from his state of exhaustion. During the entire recovery process, the magic fluctuated from time to time, making Snape and Luping, who were guarding the side in turn, tremble. After a large fluctuation in mana, the other professors were also pulled out of their offices to participate in the maintenance of the magic circle. Of course, this process, at the end of October, with the recovery of Holly, has officially ended.
But even on the first Hogsmeade weekend of the school year, Holly didn't plan to join in the fun. She has just recovered, but she still decided to stay in the school, after all, it is easy to solve any problems in the school, and once she goes out, if something happens, it is not so easy to deal with. However, considering that there were still people in the third year who didn't even have the right to go to Hogsmeade, Holly was relieved.
Seeing the students lining up and leaving the school gate one by one, walking towards Hogsmeade in groups, Holly turned and walked to the school's teacher's office, believing that Lupin would be there and that there would be a lot of questions waiting for her.
Pushing open the door, Lupin was alone in his office boiling tea, which smelled a little old and did not have the fragrance of fresh tea.
"Oh, Holly, you actually came over and didn't go to Hogsmeade with your friends? Lupin heard the door open and looked up at Holly.
"Really, but didn't the teacher go with him to Hogsmeade to relax?" said Holly, who consciously pulled out a couch out of thin air and sat down on himself.
"You know, I have a few days a month where I need to control my range of activities. Lupin smiled at Holly and shrugged.
"It's also... But fortunately, it was recovered in advance, otherwise I am afraid that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest and leave you with nowhere to go in a few days. ”
"That's okay, in fact, according to the current situation, the Forbidden Forest is also a good choice, so I miss the days when I used to play in the Forbidden Forest with Jaime and Sirius at night. Well, if you reminisce about the old days, what we have is time. So, Holly, is there anything you want to ask? I don't think there's much I can tell you. Lupin interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Where did Boggart go that day?" said Holly.
"It's gone," Lupin replied, sitting in his chair. "You didn't use the spell I taught you that day. ”
Holly shrugged and didn't respond.
"Black magic, very powerful black magic, so strong that I haven't fully mastered it. Lupin said at his own discretion.
"Didn't Professor Dumbledore say anything?" asked Holly.
"In fact... Headmaster Dumbledore was not at Hogwarts for the days of the incident. ”
"No wonder... Otherwise, I don't think that damn old bee would have put me at peace. Holly whispered. "But based on what you've said before, shouldn't Boggart be hard to kill?"
"It's hard to be killed, but that doesn't mean you can't be killed. You know, people tend to treat the Boggart as a prank little thing than a magical creature that must be killed. ”
"What about Dementors? Don't tell me you didn't see how much Harry Potter was affected when Boggart became a Dementor that day. ”
"Dementors are another case, they can't even be called creatures. Even the Ministry of Magic has no way to eradicate them completely, only to limit their reproduction and range of activities. Lupin explained.
"Oh, Holly, you're finally back. Erinka's voice suddenly appeared, followed by an elf holding a tray with a goblet on the tray containing boiling potions, brightly colored and slightly smoking. Further behind was Severus Snape.
"It's good for you to come back, such a troublesome potion, someone can finally deal with it with me. Erinka rushed up and hugged Holly.
"That's not going to change much... Don't expect that to change the ingredients according to your own ideas. Snape's voice followed.
"I suggest you drink it while it's hot, Remus. Snape turned his gaze to Lupin on the other side.
"Okay, but this time it looks a little different?" Lupin asked, a little confused.
"It's a little different... There is a clever little girl who adds some condiments to it to make the color a little more beautiful. Snape gritted his teeth.
"Well, I guess this color is a little better than the previous one. Lupin responded. "I'm surprised that you didn't go to Hogsmeade, Professor Snape. ”
