Chapter 14: Questions and Answers
Moments later, Hermione returned to Luke's side.
"Farewell?"
Luke asked with a smile.
Hermione nodded, thanking Luke again, and then she noticed the coat of arms on Luke's chest.
"This is ......"
Luke said as he made his way to the position of the train car, "This is my family's coat of arms. ”
Hermione followed behind him, nodding silently, if she had been a little confused about whether those hostile glances had appeared, now she seemed to understand something.
But it's just ignorance. After all, he was still an eleven-year-old.
Luke saw that Hermione was wrong, and could only smile and reassure: "Don't worry, you will know many things later, as long as you understand Hogwarts, there are still a large number of wizards who can do basic discrimination." ”
"It's not like you've added so many words that will make me feel relieved."
Hermione said helplessly.
"The status quo will change."
Luke just said this lightly, and didn't explain much.
Hermione gave Luke a deep look and didn't ask anything more.
The two of them walked into the carriage in silence and chose a small private room to sit down. After Luke put his behavior in order, he helped Hermione put her luggage away. Neither of them offered to separate or something.
Hermione was the only one she knew at the moment, Luke. So there's no need for her to be separated from Luke for the time being.
As for Luke, it didn't matter, if Hermione wasn't by his side, he couldn't say who would come into this box. It would be better to keep Hermione by his side, at least this is a smart enough person, not the kind of idiot who doesn't know how to pretend to understand.
"Do you know a lot of spells?"
Hermione and Luke put their luggage away, sat down in their chairs, and asked.
"I know a lot, there are a lot of spell books at home, and I will be able to practice them."
Luke replied as he groomed Booker's hair.
Luke wasn't bragging, ordinary spells were naturally nothing unusual, and commonly used spells were often simple. Of course, those who can change the common spells are absolute gods. At least not for the time being.
As for the more complex spells, especially the dark arts, Luke's talent for 'tricks' was enough to make Azkaban 'tricks' even easier to learn than everyday spells.
Hermione looked at Booker, the little black cat on Luke's lap, with a look of envy in her eyes. This kitten is so cute, it just doesn't seem to like to play with people.
"I also practice some simple spells at home, do all the students of the wizarding family cast spells?"
Hermione was most concerned about the latter, and she was really worried that she wouldn't be able to keep up with her school.
What if those teachers were teaching at the same pace as the students who had a foundation? What if your talent for spells is actually very average? In case of......
Hermione could simply come up with dozens of reasons why she wasn't a good questioner anymore. And these reasons put a lot of pressure on her.
Luke couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched Hermione's worry.
This son will become a great thing!
"Don't worry, there are very few spells that young wizards can learn in their own families. First, there is indeed a limit to talent in this aspect of learning. Your talent is really great, and I can feel it from the fluctuations in your magic. Second, ......"
A funny smile suddenly appeared on Luke's face: "For the little wizards of the wizarding family, what they have to learn is magic spells, and basic magic theory. Tell me Hermione, would a normal kid in the Muggle world like what you learn every day? ”
Hermione was tempted to say, "Yes!" ”
But in fact, she is also an exception in the world of normal people.
"No, they tend not to like math and grammar. But I love it! ”
Hermione's face was full of pride as she said the last sentence.
Luke opened his mouth, but didn't speak.
He never imagined that Hermione would so naturally remove herself from the category of normal children.
"Basically, students from wizarding families tend to be less enthusiastic about learning spells, and their greater advantage over you is often the accumulation of those ears, common sense, or personal tips taught by their parents."
This is also one of the things that makes Luke quite emotional, compared to wizards like Hermione and Harry, who have always lived in the Muggle world, the children of the normal wizarding world are not interested enough in this kind of low-hanging fruit. Some mischievous spells tend to be easy to pick up, and those that are formal and serious are often dismissed.
In this respect, wizards are no different from normal people.
"Can you tell me about some schools?" Hermione spoke again, her eyes glinting with curiosity, "The senior who came to guide me to the entrance was just a brief introduction and showed us the magic of magic. ”
"Well, under normal circumstances, underage wizards are not allowed to cast spells outside of school." Luke poured a basin of cold water on Hermione first, and put an end to her idea of overtaking in the winter and summer vacations in the future, and secretly rolled in, "The summer vacation just past, that is, the first-year freshmen who have not entered the school have privileges, of course, provided that the magic is not out of control." Those students who are responsible for guiding are given special permission. Of course, there is a time and a limit to the number of times. And because there are not many new students every year, even such places are pitiful. ”
Normally, it will be the students who are responsible for guiding them. Hagrid, for example, is already over-spec, let alone Professor McGonagall. Luke also knew that this was the face of the Gaunt family.
"There are also the four basic faculties of the school......"
"I know I've seen them in Hogwarts: A School History. Clever Ravenclaw, brave Gryffindor, gentle Hufflepuff, noble Slytherin. ”
Hermione quickly grabbed the conversation, and made a 'come and praise me' expression. Luke felt like he had become a teacher in Hermione's eyes. It really made him laugh and cry a little.
"That's right, and your definition of them is noticeably more modest." Luke complimented Hermione as she wished, "It can be said in a rather unpleasant way, that the people in the other houses are stupid Ravenclaws; felt that the people in the other houses were Gryffindors who were crying; Hufflepuff, who felt that people in other houses were too stubborn; Slytherin who thinks the people in the other houses are waste. ”
Hermione felt that Luke's words were a bit informative, and she was a little difficult to accept for a moment.
Luke didn't care if she could accept it or not, and continued: "Actually, it's normal to be biased. But the turn of prejudice into discrimination is a bit excessive. This does need to change. In every academy, there are quite good wizards born. Needless to say, Gryffindor, Headmaster Dumbledore was born here; There are good and bad people in Slytherin, the good ones are the current Dean, Professor Snape, and the bad ones are Dark Lords like Voldemort; Ravenclaw has quite an excellent Wizarding Duel Champion and is also the current Dean, Professor Flitwick; And the seemingly inconspicuous Hufflepuff actually produced a very good predecessor, and I admire it very much, the author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Professor Newt Scamander. ”
"So, which house do you want to join, Hermione?"
