005 Midnight's Nanny
"You're not joking, are you? Oliver?" Fred was surprised and said, "Harry Potter became our team's Seeker?"
"You might as well say that Angelina promised to go to Hogsmeade with Fred." Lawrence added with a smile,
"I'm not kidding." Oliver jumped up and down excitedly, and Lawrence doubted that he would be able to fly now even without a broomstick, "Since I mentioned it, then I'll go and inform Katie and Sia, and Angelina will leave it to you."
"Thank you so much, Oliver." Fred waved Oliver away,
"Let's go find Harry first, I think he and Ron should have lunch in the halls." George said.
ββββββββββββ
"Well done, little fellow." George whispered, "Oliver told us that we're on the same team now."
"I'm telling you, we're going to have to win the Quidditch trophy this year." "We haven't won a single time since Charlie graduated, but this year it's different, and we've got to surprise them!"
"What position are you responsible for?" Harry asked curiously, and Ron looked envious on the side,
"Fred and George are batsmen, and I'm in charge of the spectators." Lawrence said with a smile, noticing that Ron's look of envy lightened a little when he heard him say this, "Oliver has high expectations for you, Harry, he's flying with excitement."
"Okay, we're going to inform Angelina about this, let's go first."
Saying goodbye to Harry and Ron, the three of them took a plate of lamb crepes before leaving the hall, and then Fred ran to Angelina, leaving George and Lawrence aside.
"Lust bastard." Lawrence was unforgiving, but his tone was full of laughter,
"Oh, our little Fred has finally grown up." George used the sleeve of his robe to pretend to wipe the tears that didn't exist,
"Sorry to excuse me."
"You're here to give me a love letter? Oh, it's you." George made a dashing turn, only to find that it was Hermione,
"That can't be, listen," Hermione decisively denied, "I just overheard it in the hallβ"
"Accidentally?" George touched his chin and pretended to think,
"Hear?" Lawrence smiled at Hermione and said, "We think we've only heard those words last week?"
"Oh," Hermione's teased face flushed, "I heard in the dining room that Harry and Malfoy were dueling in the medal room at midnight."
"Let me guess, you must have stopped him?" George guessed,
"Yes," Hermione said, "but I think he and Ron didn't listen to me, and that would have cost Gryffindor points."
"It's not good." George looked at Lawrence, "But it's not about deducting points, is it?"
"Being deducted points is secondary," Lawrence continued with a nod, "I'm sad they didn't come to ask me for some useful little spell."
"So you want?" Seeing Hermione open her mouth to retort, Lawrence added,
"You promised before that I would come to you for help if I had a problem." Hermione said,
"Ah, yes." George nodded, "You're here to find a babysitter, right?"
"Can I refuse?" Lawrence smiled wryly, and in his opinion it wasn't really a big deal, "How far do you want us to go? If I had persuaded them, I don't think even Professor McGonagall would have been able to do it, and I wouldn't have done that."
"I'll try to stop them once more when they're about to go," Hermione said, "and if you can't stop them, I hope you keep them from getting caught."
"I'll be in the lounge of the saloon at night," Lawrence said, "I'll cast the Illusion Charm so you can't see me, and I'll help you when you're in trouble, but Filch's words are simple, and I can't guarantee a professor if he shows up."
Hermione thanked her and took a piece of lamb pancake to go to class.
"There's no way all three of us can be babysitting, Lawrence." George said, "We've run out of nettles for our experiments, and we're going to pick them in the Forbidden Forest today."
"I remember, so you and Fred went to find Nettles, and I went to be a babysitter," said Lawrence, "and she was so demanding that I take a few rookies for a night tour without being detected."
"We'll leave the map to you, will it be easier?" George said,
"Thanks, George."
(Note 1)
ββββββββββββ
Thanks to the twin brothers' mischiefs, they often need to use illusions, Lawrence's illusion skills have almost no flaws, and the only helpless flaw is the eyes,
Magic is the power of the mind, and the eyes are the most direct contact between the outside world and the mind, eye contact is the basic condition of the heart breaker, if you want to protect the mind in front of the heart breaker, in addition to looking away, the best way is to practice the heart lock technique, (Note 2)
There are some magics that limit the caster's gaze to the target, so wizards who are proficient in illusion can remove the faint outline of the body, but cannot remove the magic that naturally emanates from the eyes, and when your eyes are fixed on the creatures with sensitive perception, they will easily see through them, and some special creatures can even directly recognize the illusion spell (Note 3)
Of course, these first-year wizards are completely incapable of seeing through Lawrence's illusions, so Lawrence is now like he is on an outing.
When Lawrence saw Hermione locked out of the saloon because the fat lady had gone to the other portraits, he unscrupulously emitted a silver cigarette that floated in front of Hermione's eyes to form a "haha", and Hermione angrily dispersed the smoke,
Looking at Neville. After Longbottom also joined this small night tour group, the team was still noisy, and Lawrence couldn't help but mutter, "Are these rookies idle enough to die fast enough?"
As they passed around a corner, Lawrence lifted the illusion spell and pulled out a map of the living spots to look at it carefully, "Peeves is near the Charms classroom..."
γβ¦ How is Filch with his cat?" Lawrence was a little puzzled, Filch usually patrolled separately from Lady Loris, and only got together when he spotted his target.
"Malfoy isn't around?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows, let out a silver cigarette that said 'It may be a little troublesome, stay calm, pay attention to your surroundings', put away the map, waved his wand to stealth, and followed the four rookies who were already far away.
ββββββββββββ
Looking at Harry and the others as they fled in a hurry, Lawrence looked very relaxed, and from the time he found out that Malfoy was not nearby, and Filch was with Lady Loris, he guessed that it was probably Malfoy's trap, but he didn't tell Hermione, becauseβit wouldn't be fun, and Lawrence was confident that he would get them out of Filch's pursuit,
"Clean it up." Lawrence followed them briskly, waving his wand every few steps to erase their traces and scents, to the point that "no magic is allowed in the hallways" as Dunbullido said at the beginning of the school year. , Since they all went out for a night tour in violation of the regulations, do you still need to care about such a trivial matter? He felt that today was really unexpectedly relaxed, and his whole body relaxed, and he even wanted to hum a song, he didn't notice that Harry panicked and led the group to the charm classroom,
It wasn't until Peeves floated in that Lawrence realized that he was careless, he didn't have time to stop Ron from being rude to Peeves, so he could only follow Harry and them into a locked door, and what made Lawrence frown was that there were few places in Hogwarts that locked doors except for the professor's office, and before he had time to think about it, Lawrence felt something tear the air and crash from behind him, and he instinctively shot a barrier spell behind him,
The barrier spell collided with the three-headed dog's big claws, making a creepy sound,
"Damn," Lawrence's cold hair stood on end, and he cursed in a low voice, lifting the illusion spell and roaring, "Calm down."
The four Harry on the side were already stunned, and even Lawrence who suddenly jumped out didn't surprise them.
Seeing that the claws were ineffective, the three-headed dog spat out a fireball and attacked Lawrence,
"A spring is like water." Lawrence shot jets of water from his wand to counteract the fireballs, producing a large amount of white water vapor, blocking the three-headed dog's vision.
"Are the people out there still there?" Lawrence took the opportunity to ask in a low voice, and when he saw Neville's face open in horror, he quickly added, "Don't scream, I can stop that thing."
"Probably gone." Harry calmed down a little, listened intently, and replied,
"Exit, my majesty." Lawrence stared at this tricky beast, and there were four people around him who needed protection, so he had some scruples,
And the three-headed dog also understood that the humans in front of him were not easy to deal with, the three big heads stared at Lawrence, watching Lawrence slowly retreat step by step without continuing to attack, before closing the door, Lawrence noticed that near the front paws of the three-headed dog, there was a trapdoor,
ββββββββββββ
"You guys were so careless." Lawrence taught, "You must plan your retreat before you act, not just run around in a panic when you encounter a situation."
Harry nodded yes to Ron, Hermione looked disapproving, but he was not easy to refute just after being saved by Lawrence, and Neville looked at Lawrence in awe,
Lawrence returned safely to Gryffindor Tower with a group of rookies who had traveled for the first time.
Back in the dormitory, look at the snoring Lee. Jordan, and Fred and George were still empty in the bed, Lawrence opened the suitcase and took out a notebook, and he flipped to one of the pages, on which was a news item from the Daily Prophet, with a big headline:
Nicol. Lemay announced that he would welcome death
Just yesterday, the famous alchemist Nicol. At his residence in Devon, Lemay announced that he and his wife would meet their deaths. Lemay was very calm in the interview, and he thought that he and his wife were ready to embark on the next part of their journey.
Nicol. Lemay is currently the only living Philosopher's Stone maker in the world, and his friend, the famous Grand Wizard and Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus. "Nicol has spoken to me a few times about how to properly handle his estate," said Dunbury. It is believed that ,......
Lawrence thought for a moment, and put the report alongside several reports on the progress of the investigation into the theft of Gringotts, and now, he had probably guessed what was under the trapdoor.
ββββββββββββ
Author's note: When I wrote the first episode, I was most grateful to Hermione, Lawrence is an original character, he is not like a time-traveler who can predict the plot, and I can't always arrange to follow Harry,
While it was fine to use Ron, Ron didn't interact with his brothers very often, and then I found out that I could use Hermione's various chicken wives (hey!). οΌ
Note 1: Some people may ask, wouldn't it be nice for Harry to cast a phantom spell? But they're going to duel, you want Malfoy to duel with an unseen man? (Even though it's Malfoy's trap, who knows until you go?) And Lawrence couldn't be a nanny every time for such a trivial matter.
Note 2: Episode 2 (or an episode) mentions that "magic is the power of the mind", episode 5 Snape has a detailed introduction to Mind Locking and Mind Breaking, and the Lu version translates Mind Locking as Occlumency, but Snape mentions that "the mind is not a book that can be opened in your free time." The heart is not fixed in the mind and can be known by all. The mind is a complex thing with many layers,' so I think it's probably more appropriate to translate Occlumency as Locking the Heart.
Note 3: Special creatures are like hypnotics, he can't see you, but he can feel your emotions, Dumbledore's illusion is not flawed, but don't forget, he has a elderberry wand, which is a powerful wand that can repair even a broken wand.
Note 4: Well, the reaction of the three-headed dog in the original book makes me only use it as sluggish, and then I thought about it, a lion suddenly broke into four small mice in front of him, I think the lion was slow to react because the mouse was not threatening, but if it was a wolf or even another lion that broke in, I wanted to feel the danger of the lion, the reaction would never be so slow, and the illusion spell I mentioned earlier, it can't hide from the three-headed dog, otherwise Voldemort doesn't have to go to Hagrid to talk, Snape will be bitten in the original work, I think it's because he fell for Quirrell's scheme.
