Volume 1 I Don't Want the Philosopher's Stone Chapter 7 The Tradition of Slejelin
At the end of the sorting ceremony, Dumbledore stood up in the center of the podium, looking at the students with a smile on his face and opening his arms to them, as if he was very happy to see so many students gathered together.
"Welcome!" He said: "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year, and I would like to say a few words before the banquet begins. That's it: stupid! Cry! Residue! Wring! ”
"Thank you!"
With that, he sat down again, and everyone applauded and cheered.
"Is this guy a psychopath?" Brace Zabini, who was the last to join Slajrin, pouted disdainfully.
"Stupid people look at genius and think that genius is a psychopath!" Daphany smiled indifferently, stood up, and spewed a dazzling rainbow with her wand in the amazed gaze of everyone, forming a series of Latin letters in the air, which was Dumbledore's last speech, and then the pronunciation of those letters in Latin, it was ...... Merlin loves you!
Wow! A group of young magicians let out a series of exclamations, but they didn't know if it was for Dumbledore's words or for Daphany's brilliant magic. Although it is only a variant version of the most basic fluorescence.
Dumbledore looked at Daphany and nodded slightly, revealing a smile. Daphine respectfully returned a lady's courtesy, and then sat down.
Draco and Blaise let out a disdainful snort at the same time. On the other side of the restaurant, out of sight of Daphany, Ron also pursed his lips and whispered, "Love to show off!" ”
I don't know when countless foods appeared on the table, and many students were excited. But Daphany said it was boring. As a former Celestial Empire, British food is dark cuisine in her eyes. In the Lestrange family, her house-elf Jingjing specially studied Italian and Turkish cuisine for this purpose, but it was still not enough, and finally she had to learn Chinese food to satisfy Daphne's mouth. At this time, Hogwarts seemed to be a sumptuous dinner, and for Daphany, she could only silently muttered that water and protein still needed to be replenished, and then stuffed them into her mouth.
At the end of the dinner, a group of newborn snakes, led by Slyerin Prefects Marcus Flint and Jimma Fali, arrived at Slyerin's common lounge. Very snake-like, underground! Their director, Professor Snape, was waiting for them there.
"Unlike the other houses," Snape's voice was low and somewhat cold, "Slejelin tradition, in addition to the prefects of male and female prefects prescribed by the house, each grade has its own prefect. All new students can participate in the campaign. As he spoke, he drew a large circle of light on the clearing with his wand: "If you want to run for prefect, stand in, and then fight each other, and the last one left is the first-year prefect!" ”
It's simple and crude! Daphne grinned and was the first to step in. She noticed that Snape was looking at her strangely, but she didn't know why.
Seeing Daphany enter, the other little snakes also hula and walked in. There were only seventeen students in Slejelin's class, and all but one girl whose name Daphany didn't remember were all in.
"So, let's go!" Snape said lightly.
As Snape's voice fell, Daphany waved her wand, and the figure twisted in the air and vanished.
Snape frowned slightly, Transfiguration Charm! Transfiguration is also a type of invisibility charm, although it is not very advanced, but it is mastered by first-year students, which still surprises Snape. He didn't master this magic until he was in the second grade!
Draco had long been aware of Slejelin's tradition, and had agreed with Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy Parkinson that the four of them would kill Daphne first. But I didn't expect Daphany to disappear all of a sudden. Before he could react, a freshman had already knocked Crabbe out of the circle with a disarming spell. Annoyed, Malfoy turned around to find an upside-down golden bell, the only damaging magic he had mastered.
Pansy was a little worse than Malfoy, he couldn't do a single offensive magic, and he was almost knocked out of the circle by another Slejelin girl. Instead, the goofy-looking Crabbe used an obstacle trick to knock a freshman flying, only to be pushed off the field by Blaise Zabini with a legging charm.
In the blink of an eye, only Draco, Brace, and Pansy were left in the aperture. And, of course, there's an invisible Daphany.
"Brace, you dare to resist me!" Draco drank to Blaise with a sneering slurp.
Brace frowned, and without hesitation, he raised his wand and activated the disarming charm. Behind Draco was Pansy, and he couldn't dodge it, so he had to cast an obstacle spell as well. However, it was clear that Blaise's magic was a little stronger than Draco's, and the end result was that Draco's wand was picked off and the whole person fell out. Pansy exclaimed and chased after her.
"I won!" Blaise shouted excitedly.
"Not yet!" But Professor Snape shook his head slightly.
The next moment, Daphany quietly appeared behind Blaise, and with a wave of her wand: "It's all petrified!" Bresse stiffened and fell to the ground with a pop.
"The winner is Daphany!" Professor Snape exclaimed, and the other students looked somewhat unconvinced, after all, Daphany had been hiding at the beginning and had attacked at the end, which seemed to them to be a real victory.
Snape completely ignored their expressions, and said indifferently: "The internal prefects are re-selected once a month, and if anyone is not convinced, they can challenge the prefect next month." As long as you win, you can become a prefect. Now, everyone who didn't become a prefect went to sleep. Miss Farry," he said to the prefect, Jimma Fari, "explain to Miss Lestrange the rights and duties of the prefect!" With that, he flicked his long black cloak and turned to leave.
This old tsundere can't do it, looking at Snape's style, Daphany secretly complained in her heart.
Jimma Fali is a very beautiful blonde lady who seems to have some French or German ancestry, and has a strange accent in English, but it is very beautiful. Daphany doesn't have any impression of her in the original book, and she still seems to be getting along very well.
Jimma Fali briefed Daphany on the work, rights, and duties of each of Slyergerin's prefects. In general, it's like a squad leader or a group leader. Responsible for the management of the house in the grade level, and has the right to deduct points. However, it is limited to its own grade in its own branch. Unlike other prefects, they can even deduct points across branches.
After that, when it comes to welfare, Daphany is a little tangled. Prefects have their own independent dormitories. The Hogwarts dormitories are pretty good though - probably because of the small number of students. All of them are triple or quadruple rooms. There were only seventeen students in Sletgerin's class, ten boys and seven girls. It is divided into three male and two female dormitories. Since the new prefect is a girl, the male dormitory allocation is 334 and the female dormitory is 33.
It's a bit boring to say why Daphany is a little tangled. For one thing, she likes to have her own independent space, which is great if she has a separate dormitory. But on the other hand, it's still very tempting to live under the same roof with a few young and beautiful little Lori, and girls who are about to grow into girls, after all, Daphany is still a lewd old man in her bones.
But now that she's a prefect, Daphany doesn't think much about it. Anyway, as a female prefect, she can enter the girls' dormitory if she wants!
When she came to the prefect's dormitory, Daphany said she was very satisfied! A large goose feather bed, delicate and elegant, a large writing desk and bookshelves, a separate toilet and washroom, and a thick cashmere carpet on the floor, are no more than a five-star hotel suite!
Throw Niko, who had yawned a long time ago, onto the bed and take out her household and school supplies from her telescopic pocket. The luggage of the other students was sent by the house-elves of the college, but Daphany did not have this one because she had telescopic pockets that she carried with her. After a brief clean-up, Daphany felt a little sleepy, washed up, collapsed on the bed, and slowly entered meditation.
It's been more than seven years since Daphany insisted on using meditation instead of sleep, almost eight years. Although the effect of the elementary basic meditation technique is very ordinary, it still makes her magic far beyond her peers and even beyond the level of ordinary adult wizards. In terms of magic alone, Daphany's magic should be comparable to that of a lower-to-mid Auror or a Death Eater of a higher level. It's a more passable wave for adult wizards.
However, meditation not only increases the magic power, but also the mental power! Meditation is very, very limited in its ability to gain mental power! But even so, compared to the HP world, which grows naturally purely by talent, it is still much stronger! Daphany didn't have much to compare to, just Draco's daddy, Lucius, whom she had seen before. Although Lucius has always behaved very cowardly, he has been able to maintain a relatively detached position among many Death Eaters, and his strength is actually very good, equivalent to the middle and upper level of Death Eaters. If you compare the magic power, it is much stronger than Daphine, but Daphany has observed, if you compare the mental power, the mental power of Daphany a year ago is at least twice that of Lucius!
In the original book, spiritual power is hardly mentioned, but it is actually very important. The primary magic used by low-level magicians is not obvious, but to the point of high-level magicians, whether it is black magic or white magic, the requirements for mental power are very high. One of the most representative is the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable spells.
The Imperius Charm requires not only great magical power, but also superior mental power. The Imperius Curse can be resisted, and the stronger the mental power of the spell, the easier it is to resist. The so-called firmness of mind is, to put it bluntly, spiritual power. Conversely, the stronger the caster's mental power, the more difficult it is to resist.
In the books, when he was in the fourth year, the fake Mad Eye Moody used the Imperius Charm on Harry to exercise, and Harry barely resisted at that time. Fake Moody Barty Crouch Jr. is considered to be at the upper middle level among the Death Eaters, and can be resisted by Harry without using all his strength, but if it is replaced by a real Moody or a super dark wizard such as Voldemort and Grindelwald, Harry has absolutely no resistance.
Also in great need of mental power is the Patronus Charm in White Magic. Patronus charms are best known for their role in defending against Dementors. Dementors have the ability to absorb inner happiness and bring negative emotions to life. Sirius Black, who was quite powerful, had almost no power to fight back in front of them, which was certainly related to Blake's lack of wand at that time, but it also had something to do with Blake's lack of spiritual cultivation. Snape didn't care about Dementors at all, as a supermaster of Soul Retrieval and Occlumency, his spiritual cultivation was extremely profound. So much so that even though she was facing each other just now, Daphany didn't dare to make any temptations. In terms of spiritual cultivation, the only person who can surpass Snape is probably Old Bee and his good friend Grindelwald. Even Voldemort suffered from the misuse of Horcruxes that caused damage to his soul, and his mental strength was greatly reduced. This is also the reason why Voldemort was unable to peek into Snape's heart and was tricked.
Speaking of the Patronus Charm, the Patronus Charm can not only resist Dementors, but also have a very good resistance effect on many dark magic such as fear and soul tearing, and the so-called Patronus Charm requires firm faith, being able to think of happy things under the great fear sense, which is essentially a manifestation of strong mental power.
Daphany mastered the Patronus Charm early on because of her strong mental strength, which was far less strenuous than Harry's original study. Once you have mastered the details of spells and wand movements, you can easily master them. But for some reason, Daphine's Patronus has not been finalized, it has always been a ball of white light, although it is a very strong white light, and it can vaguely see any creatures in the white light, but it has never been able to finally take shape, which is why Daiffany has not been able to understand at this stage. However, Daphany is not in a hurry, in two years at most, when she really has a chance to face the Dementors, she should have a breakthrough.
