Seamus and Hermione set up the chessboard and began their first battle, and Ron sat next to him with some disappointment.

Compared to Ron, Hermione's chess moves are more whimsical, because she has just learned to play chess, and she has not developed her own style, but just plays chess step by step, with intuition and calculation. He played whatever he wanted, he hadn't read the chess game, he didn't know how to leave his back hand, but he was also not bound by anything, no one taught her how to play chess, and no one restrained his mind.

Seamus was still in the same position as before, laying a trap step by step, waiting for Hermione to throw herself into the net. But Hermione is not as greedy as Ron, sometimes, even if there is a great opportunity, she will not take the initiative to fight, and sometimes even if she steps into a trap, she will get out in time.

This kind of opponent is far more difficult to deal with than Ron just now, because you can't guess what she wants to do next, and there is no way to target it in advance. can only be like her, step by step, and try her best to achieve a greater advantage.

In the process of playing chess with Lupin, because he was always overturned by Lupin, he developed a habit of never launching a final attack when he did not have an absolute advantage. Because if you make a mistake, you are likely to be killed by your own king.

The two were in this stalemate, constantly exchanging money, and in general, Seamus had a slight upper hand and lost fewer resources. And Hermione, even if she was too careful, would unnaturally step into a trap and lose a pawn. Even if she was able to get out in time, among the countless options, Seamus was always able to gain a greater advantage.

In the second half of the game, Seamus felt that his advantage on the court was enough, and he was ready to launch a final attack and crush the past with an absolute chess advantage. However, at this time, Hermione's chess style suddenly changed, from being cautious at the beginning, to a fierce wolf pack. Even if there is a loss, you have to bite a piece on your formation, this transformation caught Seamus a little off guard in an instant, and the formation was completely torn apart, but fortunately, it is always like this when playing chess with Lupin, and the formation was quickly adjusted. In the end, with the advantage of numbers, he killed Hermione's king.

"If you play chess like this at the beginning, I might lose this game. Seamus was very emotional.

Hermione was a little annoyed, "But you still won, let's have another game, and I'll definitely win this time." ”

"No, I'll come back when I have time, I'm going to astronomy class now. Seamus said, "Harry, Ron, get ready for class, put the chessboard away." ”

"Okay, we'll come back tomorrow. Hermione said as she returned to her bedroom, pulling out her binoculars and notebook.

Seamus turned his head, and Ron was staring at the chessboard they had just played, as if he hadn't heard anything.

"Ron, get ready for class. Harry was calling at him, too.

Ron suddenly came back to his senses: "You guys were awesome just now, just wait, I'll beat you." ”

After saying that, he hurriedly put away the chessboard, and several people went out with portable telescopes, preparing to go to the Astronomy Tower to participate in the weekly astronomy class. The class time of this class is 21:00~23:00 every Wednesday evening, which is shorter than the time of other classes. But since the class was in the evening, Filch would always keep an eye on them to prevent them from coming back after class.

They were all first-year wizards, and one after another, they went out from the portrait of the fat lady, and Filch stood outside the door, glaring at them fiercely. "Don't let me catch you wandering at night, or I'll hang you up and whip you with chains. ”

"Why is he so hateful to us. Harry asked, confused.

"Who knows, maybe it's because he's always alone. Ron replied casually.

"Don't get caught by him anyway, and he also has a cat called Lady Loris, and that cat will report to Filch as soon as he sees you. Ron said.

Before Harry could speak, a cheerful voice suddenly appeared next to him.

"Don't get caught by him. ”

"Otherwise he'll let you"

"Wipe the toilet, wipe it with your hands"

"No magic. ”

Fred and George suddenly sprang out from the side, stood next to them, and said to them with a smile.

"You've been caught by him, you know so well. Hermione asked.

"I'm sorry, but we've never been caught. ”

"That's what Lee Jordan told us. ”

The two of them always sang and harmonized, and they sold Lee Jordan and told him what he had done.

"When are you going to go back today? Seamus said, "Or will you not be back tonight, if there is anything interesting, remember to inform me." ”

Since the first morning, after seeing the two of them, they have never been seen in the common room during the day, and they can only be seen everywhere in the evening.

"Dear Seamus, please let us know if you want to go out at any time. ”

"We'll be able to take you where you want to go. ”

With that, the two of them ran into the darkness beside them, and the footsteps faded away.

"You also want to go on a night tour, if you are caught, you will have to deduct points, or even be expelled. Hermione was a little fierce at this point.

"Don't worry, I'm sure I'm not going out at night. Seamus hurriedly said that it didn't matter if he didn't get caught when he went out anyway.

This is how they arrived at the Astronomy Tower, the tallest building in Hogwarts, at the very top of the castle. There was a large open-air balcony where they stood and looked at the stars in the sky with binoculars. In fact, most wizards don't know much about the stars, including their professors, and the main part of the class is to identify the constellations and analyze their symbolism.

It's just that the astronomy books of wizards haven't been updated for a long time, and now it is estimated that no one can get a prophecy from the constellations. So this course has also become a full-fledged class, there are no exams, and there are only first-year classes, and Seamus feels that it is very likely that no one will give the questions, so there is no exam.

It is said that horses are true astrology experts, and they are able to get prophecies about the future from the stars. However, Seamus scoffed at this, if they could really see the future, they would not be like now, the race is getting weaker and weaker, and they can only live in the Forbidden Forest.

The group of centaurs in the Forbidden Forest came in a long time ago, and at that time it could only be regarded as a branch of the centaurs, but now, it has become the largest centaur colony in the United Kingdom. Centaurs in other places either disappeared inexplicably, or were destroyed after clashing with others. Most of them are the loss of shelter because of the disappearance of forests, and eventually the loss of news.

Astrology and prophecy are unreliable, although you pretend to be a prophet, but only the power that is really in your own hands is what can help you overcome the future, fortunately, the things entrusted to Mr. Ollivander will be done in a while, and at that time, you can better protect yourself.

They stood on the balcony, set up the telescopes, and according to the professor's instructions, identified the constellations that appeared in their field of vision one by one, and drew their appearances.

The entire tower is hemispherical, half of which has no spherical surface and becomes the balcony on which they stand, while the other half is covered with glass. Once they had finished observing this half of the sky, the professor pulled the trap, and the entire tower spun around, turning the balcony to the other side.

They began a new round of observations, and just like that, the moon slowly rose overhead, and it was time for them to end class.

"Today's assignment is to draw the constellations you observed today, and then write their corresponding symbols, and give them to me before class next week. After the professor finished speaking, he announced the end of the class.

On the way back, they met Lady Loris, a scrawny cat with messy hair, who meowed and turned away.

It didn't take long for Filch to appear in front of them, "I'll keep an eye on you, it's 11 o'clock now, don't you want to go out again." ”

"We've just finished class and we'll be back right away. Seamus was a little helpless.

I really can't understand why Dumbledore would let a Squib be the administrator of Hogwarts. Watching these little wizards practice magic every day is equivalent to stimulating him every day, if Filch is allowed to live in a place without magic, he should not be like now, so old, still fantasizing that he can learn magic.

The world is unfair, especially for wizards, who are fixed dead from birth. You have wizard blood, you're a wizard, and if you don't, you'll never learn magic, no matter how hard you try.

The same is true for them, Hermione is stronger than most of the young wizards now, because most of them haven't even learned magic now. But in the seventh grade, Harry Potter became the strongest in the entire grade.

Like Hermione, in addition to the wizarding bloodline, she is far beyond ordinary people in every way, and after seven years of diligent efforts, she can only surpass Harry Potter in the diversity of magic. But in terms of the power of magic, she was far inferior.

Fortunately, the ability panel gave me a chance to change, and it wouldn't be like the original development trajectory, I could only be a marginal person in the decisive battle, and I was responsible for blowing up the bridge in total, and finally survived because no one noticed.

Now you only need to practice magic and increase your magic level to be able to improve your wizard bloodline and gain more powerful talents.

It has been a year since I started learning magic, and only Transfiguration has reached Lv4 because of the longest practice, so that I have increased my wizarding bloodline to Lv4, so that I can make my magic far more powerful than Hermione.
