Chapter Twenty-Four: Dumbledore

The three of them parted after dinner, and Ning An told Daphne that she would go to the forbidden book area alone tonight, so she wouldn't go to the Room of Requirement at night.

When the three of them left the table, they happened to pass by Malfoy and the others, and Daphne deliberately grimaced Malfoy.

Malfoy had been peering at Ning An just now, and he had turned his ears to the side hoping to hear something, but unfortunately, Daphne used the little magic charm she was best at to lower the volume of several people's ears. So he didn't hear anything.

Malfoy had long been a little concerned about Ning An's late return for a long time, and he even got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and found that Ning An was not in bed, which made him even more suspicious. But out of a little fear of Ning An, he hadn't made any moves yet.

He was struggling in his heart now, on the one hand, he wanted to collect more information to find out what Ning An was doing and whether he had an opportunity to take advantage of it, and on the other hand, he was a little afraid of Ning An's methods.

Recently, looking at the three people who were mixed together, they all gave him an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Whether it was facing Ning An, Daphne, or even Calidora, a trace of fear rose in his heart, as if he was facing a dangerous beast, which also made Malfoy feel inexplicable, he couldn't understand why he was afraid of "Daphne Greengrass" and "Calidora Shafiq".

When Ning An and the others finished their meal and were about to leave the table, Daphne's eyes met Malfoy's by chance. She smiled slyly, and then activated the Soul Retriever.

When Malfoy heard Ning An and the others get up, he subconsciously looked at them, and then met Daphne's eyes, he instinctively wanted to avoid the other party's gaze, but suddenly thought in his heart

"Strange, why should I be afraid of her?"

So he glared back unconvinced, but when he suddenly saw that there were Daphne and Ning An on the opposite side, it was clearly three monsters with wolf heads and human bodies, who were opening their bloody mouths and pounced on him!

"Ahhh Malfoy was startled, and he fell out of his chair with a scream, falling under the table. Crabbe and Goyle hurriedly tried to lift him up.

"Hahaha" Daphne's crisp laughter came leisurely, and when Malfoy was helped up, he saw that there was a wolf head, and it was clear that Daphne was still standing in front of him.

"Malfoy, be careful, why can't you even sit on the chair for dinner?" Daphne said in a tone that seemed to be concerned, but Malfoy's face flushed.

"What's going on? Did I just read it wrong? Malfoy wondered, "No, they must have used magic, but what kind of magic is this?" An eerie chill permeated his body, and Malfoy had the illusion that he was being manipulated.

He looked at the backs of the three Ning An who had left, and there was an inexplicable fear in his heart, and he actually recalled the feeling of being strangled by Ning An's black snake so much that he couldn't breathe. Gathering some of his thoughts, Malfoy sat down at the table again.

"These three people are getting weirder and weirder." Malfoy thought to himself

"Damn, what the hell are they doing!" He could do everything he could to humiliate or bully Harry Potter, but he had a feeling that he had nowhere to do anything about Ning An at the moment.

This made the hatred for Ning An in his heart and the helplessness in his heart transfer to Harry again.

"Remember that he and Harry Potter seemed to have a good relationship? Damn Potter, I want you to know that I am awesome. Malfoy gritted his teeth in his heart.

"I didn't expect your Dementor to progress so quickly, what did you just show Malfoy?" Ning An asked as she walked.

"Cut, this cowardly creature has no resistance to the Regent's thoughts, what kind of progressβ€”" Daphne was not happy about this, but then laughed again:

"But did you see how scared he looked? I'm laughing to death, haha... I just let him see a few werewolves lunging at him. ”

"You don't have to waste energy on that." Calidora said lightly.

"Hey, Carly, I'm avenging you too, okay? Malfoy looks down on you, you know. Daphne said helplessly.

"I don't care."

"Alright, you two don't argue." Ning An interrupted the quarrel between the two people, he stopped, stared at the two people and said:

"I've been going to the library at night for a while, so the evening practice has been canceled, and we'll only go to the Room of Requirement during the day."

"Great, I've been sleep deprived lately." Daphne immediately cheered

Both Ning An and Caridora could only roll their eyes helplessly.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Time passed, and Ning An spent almost the entire Christmas holiday going to the library's forbidden section at night, rummaging through the spells he needed, and during the day, they continued their practice in the Room of Requirement.

Both Daphne and Caridora are now stronger than the average student, in their words:

"We've been completely different after being stunned by the Unconscious Charm countless times, disarmed, or knocked out of the air."

And Ning An originally learned spells very quickly, and his magic power was very strong, but now after fighting day and night with Daphne and others, he also felt that it was completely different from before.

He used to know a lot of spells, but now he was able to use them flexibly, as if he had incorporated them into his bloodline and made it instinctive to use them.

The trio of the Trio are progressing faster and faster when it comes to the Celestial Mind Technique, and now that mood-influencing mini-games are no longer applicable, they have not long since begun to invade each other's brains.

However, it is also stipulated that no one is allowed to read other people's memories, after all, whether it is Ning An or Daphne, Caridora has secrets that they don't want to be known, so they are just desperately trying to create illusions and arouse each other's fears, and the other is using brain occlusion to resist with all their might.

In this regard, Calidora's brain occlusion is impressive, even Ning An is difficult to invade, and Ning An is also very good, he thinks that maybe because he has the soul of an adult, his own willpower is relatively strong, so it is also difficult for the two girls to take care of him.

The worst thing is Daphne, although she has made rapid progress compared to ordinary people, but she still can't resist Ning An and Carly's Divine Retrieval Technique, and this time of day is her most painful time.

Ning An was not idle at night, as long as Dumbledore didn't stop him, after using the "Silence" and the Illusion Charm, Ning An almost came and went freely in and out of the castle.

The Forbidden Books section became his best teacher, and almost every night, he learned magic that he couldn't learn with standard spells.

Even after the Christmas holidays, Ning An would still come to the forbidden book section at night, where he found not only the Loyalty Charm, but also many unusual potion recipes, some special prop production methods, and other spells that were not recorded in the Standard Spells.

Ning An was like a soft sponge, constantly absorbing an inexhaustible amount of knowledge, he copied down some very complex recipes, and tried his best to memorize others in his mind.

This also made him often look very tired during the day's training, and he had to drink more intelligence boosters, and Snape had already run out of materials for him.

If the potions in his inventory continue to be consumed at this rate, it won't take more than a few weeks, and I'm afraid it will run out.

And that night, when Ning An secretly left the dormitory as usual and came to the forbidden book area, after he opened a quaint book with a black cover that he had thought about reading yesterday, he actually dropped a few pages of paper sandwiched in the book.

"Huh?" Ning An is a little strange, who would put paper in these books? The paper had turned a deep yellow, and the ink had faded in many places, making it look like the sheets were from a long time ago. He spread out the paper and read it carefully.

"Flames from the devil of hell..."

Ning An was slightly stunned after reading it. The paper was a spell he had heard of, "Mighty Fire", a powerful black magic that could summon more and more powerful magical fire.

"Sss

"Oh, Mighty Fire, this isn't some easy magic to wield, Mr. Ning'an."

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Ning An, Ning An was startled, he hurriedly looked back, and a tall and thin figure stood behind him.

The light of Ning An's wand illuminated the surroundings slightly, and only then did he see clearly that the person standing in front of him at this time was wearing this robe, a purple mopping cloak, a long hooked nose, a half-moon-shaped glasses, long silver-white hair and beard, and shining blue eyes, as if pointing directly at Ning An's heart. It's Dumbledore!

"Mr. Headmaster!"

Ning An shouted in a low voice in a little panic, and at this moment, his illusion spell was automatically lifted, and the whole person appeared in front of Dumbledore.

Ning An did think that Dumbledore already knew about his sneaking into the forbidden book area, but he didn't expect that he would be blocked here directly by Dumbledore at night, which was too sudden.

Dumbledore also stretched out his hand, put it to his lips and made a "shhh" gesture and said:

"Well done, Mr. Ning'anβ€”I think we should be quieter, and if we bring in Mr. Filch, we'll be in trouble, right?" He said as if he was joking.

Ning An couldn't understand what Dumbledore meant, he rubbed his hands behind his back a little embarrassed, at this time, he still held the notes with the spell "Fierce Fire" in his hands.
