Obviously, Miss Hermione Jane Granger, who is an authentic British, has no preference for snake meat at all, and even she thinks that Ethan's so-called eating snake meat is deliberately disgusting to herself, because she doesn't know that snake meat is edible.

"Really? That's a pity. ”

Hermione didn't understand, but the other people around her knew Ethan well, and he certainly wouldn't mention eating snake meat for no reason.

Logan asked directly.

"Hogwarts has snakes, and this snake is special?"

"It's not ordinary, anyway. ”

The size of the big snake in the secret room is very huge, and its head alone is bigger than a human, so it is certainly not ordinary for a snake to grow to such a huge size.

Moreover, the serpent had special powers: anyone who saw the snake's eyes would die instantly, and would be petrified if they were seen indirectly through a mirror or the reflection of water, or through certain transparent objects (glasses do not count).

As for the fangs that can destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, they are relatively normal abilities.

"It's kind of interesting. ”

Logan became a little interested in the snake, and Hermione, who was on the other side, looked at the two boys discussing the snake with a calm face, and felt that something was wrong with her body.

She thinks Ethan is indeed a student of Slytherin (the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, so it is also called the Snake Courtyard).

After that, Hermione didn't talk to Ethan, but chatted with Rin Tosaka - the two top students had a lot to talk about in magic knowledge, and Hermione was surprised to find that it was just a holiday that she hadn't seen, and Rin Tosaka's magic knowledge seemed to have improved to a great extent, and many things she just wrote down but didn't figure out, Rin Tosaka could easily explain.

"Where are you going to make up for this holiday?"

"I really haven't had much fun this holiday, I've been studying. ”

Rin Tosaka spent almost all of her vacation on cultivation, and her only pastime was to play the phone Ethan brought back and the games it contained.

In the past few months, she has been glad that Ethan has given each of them a mobile phone, because after receiving the kind guidance from Ethan and Skaha, she has no extra strength to run around, and the little strength she has left can only make her climb back into her bed and never want to move again.

"That's good, are you the tutor you were looking for in Diagon Alley?"

“......”

Rin Tosaka wanted to say no, but if she said so, she couldn't explain who she was tutoring with, so she could only nod in silence, and it didn't matter how Hermione made up for her.

The train still arrived at Hogwarts in the evening, and after returning to Hogwarts, it was still the customary way to enter the lobby to listen to Headmaster Albus Dumbledore's speech, watch the new elementary school students perform the sorting ceremony, and introduce the new professor Gilderoy Lockhart.

He is a well-known writer in the wizarding world, an adventurer, a third-class medalist of the Order of the Order of Merlin, and an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League......

This handsome middle-aged man with a long list of titles will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for the new academic year, a cursed position that changes professors every year, and when Ethan first entered the school last year, it was Professor Quirrell, who was killed by Harry Potter.

The newly appointed famous writer did a lot of things that didn't make sense as soon as he came up, such as a test in the first class of the school year, which tested how well the students knew about themselves: questions such as what color he liked left most of the students speechless.

Among the people who felt speechless was Ethan, who looked at the test paper in front of him and had no interest in writing it at all, so he simply handed in a blank paper - the only thing written on the test paper was Ethan's name.

Actually, it's not good to do this, because it will make him get unnecessary attention, if you really want to keep a low profile, in fact, you can just fool around, anyway, few students here can answer correctly...... Or maybe only Hermione, a little fan, can answer all the questions correctly.

Mixed in with a large crowd like this, Lockhart would never pay attention to him.

But why should Ethan deliberately make himself unhappy for the sake of so-called low profile? He really doesn't want to do too much, but that doesn't mean that he has to go against his own ideas, or even put up with something that makes him unhappy and deliberately do something he doesn't want to do.

What's more, he had already received the attention of Dumbledore and Snape, and a little bit of Lockhart's attention didn't matter to him at all - if this guy wanted to trouble Ethan, then it would definitely not be Ethan who was unlucky.

I don't know if Lockhart knew about all the students before, and knew that Ethan was valued by Snape, so he didn't dare to trouble Ethan. His face changed slightly as he flipped through his test papers, but he quickly returned to normal, and then put the test papers aside with a calm expression, as if he was just reading an ordinary answer sheet.

Next, a cage of elves was released, making a mess of the whole class, and Lockhart himself ran fast and hid directly.

Ethan sighed helplessly as he looked at the chaotic classroom, and he didn't think about cleaning up this mess, anyway, when one elf came over, he would use his wand to stun one, and he didn't care about the others.

For example, Logan and Rin Tosaka don't have to worry about Ethan, as for the elves who go to Illya, I'm still worried that these elves won't be captured by Illya and fed to Xiaobai.

In the end, it was Hermione who made a big deal and brought all the elves under control to put an end to the chaos...... Through this lesson, you can know that this year's Black Magic Defense class basically can't learn anything useful, and you have to rely more on self-study.

"I'm thinking this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class is all over. ”

Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Illya was chatting with Ethan in her arms, Hogwarts classes were not tightly scheduled, there was still a long time before dinner time was over after the day's classes, and the students had plenty of time to relax, or choose to chat or go to the library, and the Quidditch team members could also do some training at this time.

Ethan had no interest in Quidditch, and he usually went to the library at this time, but last year it took him a year to make copies of all the books he could - the most troublesome thing was not to copy them in a big way, otherwise he would be able to copy all the books in the library into his own book of inheritance in one day.

Now he doesn't need to go to the library to read books, as it is more comfortable to sit in the courtyard and read books while chatting.

Then, he saw a verbal altercation between Slytherin and Gryffindor's Quidditch team, and as Draco Malfoy seemed to be about to burst into the classic 'dirty mudblood' rhetoric as he had done in the original plot, he suddenly felt a gaze not far away, and the words that were almost about to erupt from his mouth were swallowed back.

He is not stupid, he will not casually provoke an existence that is much stronger than him, although he thinks that no matter how strong Ethan is, it is impossible to be stronger than a real adult wizard - such as his father, but his father is not at Hogwarts, even if his father helps him avenge him afterwards, he will be cleaned up by the other party first.

So he didn't continue to attack Hermione's bloodline, and because he didn't attack Hermione with the mudbloods, he didn't anger Ron, and Ron didn't use his damaged wand to cast a spell on Malfoy, which caused the spell to be released incorrectly and hit him, and then spit slugs for a long time......

The thought of that image made Ethan a little unable to look directly at Ron-Weasley, and he suddenly felt that Ron should thank him for what a catastrophe he had escaped.

Malfoy also escaped a catastrophe, and if he dared to say that word, he would be turned into a sheep with no control over his body's movements, and then eat grass for a day, and no one in this world could break this spell.

"What spell were you going to unleash?"

Ethan's movements couldn't hide from Illya, who was beside her, even though Ethan's magic fluctuations were very vague, but Illya still felt it at such a close distance.

"Sheep Transformation, a spell that can turn people into sheep......"

"Sounds like Transfiguration?"

"It's kind of similar in terms of effect. ”

The following days were still peaceful, although Lockhart's real strength was not very good, but teaching some children was barely able to deal with it, but Lockhart's lessons were more focused on 'theory', and in practice, don't expect this person to have any reliable advice.

This quiet life did not end until Caretaker Filch's cat, Lady Loris, was petrified and writing in blood appeared on the walls of the hallway.

Harry Potter inexplicably became a suspect, as he was the first to discover the scene of the crime, so he was hostile to Filch. Ethan was speechless about this, and only felt that Filch was unreasonable at all, but Ethan was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, he was paying full attention to Mrs. Loris's condition.

"Do you see what's coming?"

"The cat is petrified. ”

Illya rolled her eyes, and she could see that she was petrified, as if she had been under a petrification spell. After the petrification spell of this world hits the opponent and takes effect, although the skin color of the person who has been hit by the spell will change somewhat, it will not actually turn into stone.

Lady Loris was also not made into a stone sculpture, but her body was as stiff as a stone.

"Can you untie it?"

"Yes. ”

Although the voices of the two men were small, they could still be heard by the people next to them, and Draco Malfoy looked at Ethan with a look of disbelief, as if to say: I didn't expect you to brag too!

This was a problem that even Dumbledore and Snape didn't know how to solve, and Malfoy didn't believe Ethan could solve it.

Ethan didn't bother to argue and continued to watch the excitement.

By the way, consider whether this big snake is roasted or stewed?
