Chapter 121: The Unlucky Onlookers
After the initial adaptation, life in the house gradually got on the right track, although Ethan did not make any friends in the Slytherin house, most of the time he acted with Illya, but the Slytherin students did not put on any posture and stinky faces when they met Ethan, and could even talk a few words.
"Looks like you're doing well over there. ”
After a casual conversation with a few Slytherin classmates, Ethan took his belongings and sat down - the Hogwarts lobby could be used for banquets, and students were usually allowed to do their own things, such as reading, doing homework, chatting, and even playing games.
Compared to other young children, who are more interested in finding something to entertain, Ethan mostly goes to the library to pick up some books and then takes them here to read slowly.
The only people who have similar preferences to him are Rin Tosaka and Hermione, the school bully in the original story, when Ethan sat down with the book, Rin Tosaka and Hermione also happened to be holding the book and looking for a vacant position, and sat directly opposite him after seeing Ethan.
"It's okay, anyway, it's here to learn, it's the same everywhere. ”
Rin Tosaka nodded, and she cheekily followed, also to learn magical magic.
After a period of adaptation, she has realized that the magic system in this world is very different from what she has learned before, and the difficulty of learning is indescribable - for talented wizards, it is like having fun to learn a lot of spells.
But for Rin Tosaka, who has developed some habits, and wizards with bad talents, this way of learning is very painful.
Compared to Ethan, who only slowed down his learning speed in order to delve into the details, Rin Tosaka really can't get fast, but fortunately, her own ability is not bad, except for the actual casting of spells, the theoretical knowledge in various books is better than that of most students, only Hermione can overpower her - Hermione's mastery of book knowledge is simply open, and normal people can't compare with her.
"Where's Elijah?"
"Go feed Xiaobai. ”
In addition to completing her daily studies, Illya spends the rest of her time either following Ethan around, or feeding Xiaobai to play with Xiaobai.
"How were you doing at Gryffindor?"
"That's good!"
Compared to Ethan and Illya, who had almost no friends in Slytherin - at first, the pure-blood wizard descendants of Slytherin looked down on Ethan as a Muggle family, and Ethan himself was too lazy to mingle with a group of little children, and Illya also looked down on these little children.
Rin Tosaka had a much easier time at Gryffindor, the Gryffindor lions cubs were all self-acquainted, each more enthusiastic than the other, Harry Potter at this time was relatively introverted, but in a short period of time, he had already gotten acquainted with all his classmates.
So it's not difficult for Rin Tosaka to fit in, and there is Hermione, a scholar who also likes to read, as a friend, not to mention that Logan is also in Gryffindor and will take proper care of her.
"It's still a bit jerky just to use magic. ”
Rin Tosaka took out his wand, took another feather and placed it on the table, then pointed at the feather with his wand, recited the spell softly, and used his wand to control the feather flying.
Rin Tosaka's movements were not large, and the voice of the incantation was also very soft, but this did not affect the effect of the spell, and the white feathers flew up gently, making irregular movements with the movement of her wand.
Ethan glanced at it and could see that there was something wrong with Rin Tosaka, and although Hermione was around, that didn't stop Ethan from explaining to Rin Tosaka why she had a jerky feeling when she used the magic of this world.
He didn't need to say anything, he could have a conversation on a spiritual level using a spiritual link, and even Hermione couldn't have heard anything even if she was close.
"Don't always try to be in control, the magic in this world works differently than the things you've learned before, you have to 'go with the flow' of the magic, not let the magic move according to your feelings. ”
Rin Tosaka was stunned, because of the movement in his hand, the feather fell down like losing control, and fell back on the table.
Hermione watched from the sidelines, seemingly unsurprised by the situation.
"Rin, you're so nervous, I told you to relax. ”
Hermione not only chatters, but also likes to be a good teacher, of course she knows about Rin Tosaka's problems during this time, and she has not given her friend less ideas, but the effect is not very good.
Because Rin Tosaka didn't understand what she meant by 'nervousness', it wasn't until Ethan's transmission that she realized that her excessive pursuit of control of magic might be overly nervous in Hermione's eyes.
And letting her relax also corresponds to Ethan's words, 'follow the feeling to push the magic'.
"Is that so?"
"That's it, you have to relax, don't be nervous, magic is fun......"
Hermione didn't know that Rin Tosaka was talking to Ethan, and kept talking until she tilted her head and saw the book Ethan was reading.
"Huh, that's not what we're learning now, is it?"
"I'm just looking at it, and I'm going to learn sooner or later anyway, so I should preview it in advance. ”
Ethan, of course, is not just a preview, if it weren't for the fact that as a freshman, many books would not even be qualified to read, he would copy all the books in the library in one go, and then find a place to read slowly.
But even with the limitations of being a freshman, relying on himself to become an honor student in Professor Snape's eyes, he still borrowed some higher-level books and learned some spells that should not be taught by freshmen, the most typical of which is to remove your weapons.
He had also learned spells such as cleaning and tidying, which were similar to similar spells he had mastered, but that didn't mean they were completely useless.
The magic of the Harry Potter world is more focused on rules and concepts, and if it can be completely integrated with the magic system that he originally mastered, I don't know what the effect will be.
"Maybe by that time, all my ideas can become reality?"
It doesn't seem impossible.
He was thinking about the 'future' there, while Hermione on the other side squinted at Ethan, and from time to time his eyes turned to the book in front of Ethan.
Ethan didn't know what Hermione was thinking, but from the skeptical look in her eyes, she probably blamed or complained about herself from the bottom of her heart, right?
The following days were still uneventful, because Ethan had never been in contact with Harry Potter as the male protagonist, so he didn't know where the plot had developed now.
It wasn't until the dinner party on Halloween, looking at the jack-o-lanterns floating above, and the tables full of cakes and sweets, that Ethan realized that it seemed that the plot of the Philosopher's Stone was about to officially begin.
On Halloween, Professor Quirrell will be in action, the stammering and timid Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who has surrendered to Voldemort and will deliberately make a move to attract everyone's attention before stealing the Philosopher's Stone.
In the process, Hermione was hurt by Ron's previous statements and hid in the toilet without knowing what was wrong, leading her to encounter the troll that Quirrell deliberately released.
This was the original plot, but now Hermione and Rin Tosaka are having a good time, and Ethan has already seen these two on Gryffindor's side.
It seems that the plot will change because of this?
Without Hermione hiding in the toilet, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley would no longer have had to run alone to find Hermione, who was hiding in the toilet and didn't know that danger was approaching.
However, Ethan still underestimated Harry Potter's ability to kill a bear child, Harry Potter broke away from the team not only to save Hermione, but also because he had always suspected what Professor Snape wanted to do, and the troll appeared so strangely, he thought there was something wrong with it.
So Mr. Harry Potter and his little friend Ron Weasley quietly broke away from the group, and did not follow the professor's instructions to follow the prefect back to the dormitory.
Hermione's movements were noticed by Hermione, who was also bold and super curious, and dragged her good friend Rin Tosaka and quietly chased after her.
“......”
Because the students were still leaving the lobby one after another, the situation was relatively chaotic at this time, except for Ethan, who had been paying attention to them, no one noticed the departure of these bear children.
"Shall we go and see it too?"
Ethan hesitated, he wasn't going to get involved in it, but when he looked up, he saw that Skaha had slipped out of the Ravenclaw group, winked at him, and quietly followed.
“......”
Ethan watched the large group of 'bear children' all run over, and mourned for the troll for three seconds, then turned around and led Illya to follow the Slytherin team, he was not interested in watching a few bear children fight the troll.
As for whether Harry Potter will be in danger, that's his business, and it's actually a good thing for the bear child to learn a lesson, but considering that Dumbledore has been secretly paying attention to and nurturing Harry Potter, the possibility of Mr. Potter being in danger is infinitely close to zero.
Coupled with Harry Potter's own talent and good luck at critical moments, that troll is estimated to be unable to cause any trouble at all except for adding some combat experience to Harry Potter.
In comparison, Rin Tosaka is more likely to be in danger, maybe he should follow?
"With Skaha with you, it should be fine. ”
The next day, Ethan saw Rin Tosaka lying on the hospital bed with a depressed face in the infirmary, one of his legs wrapped like a rice dumpling, Ethan wondered how this happened?
"A large group of people watching the excitement, why are you injured?"
It's okay not to ask, but as soon as he asked, Rin Tosaka's face became very weird, and he held back for a long time and finally only said one sentence.
"Bad luck. ”
