During the Hogwarts holidays, Karn was studying magic with Lupin in addition to attending to the magic material shop.

His mastery of magic was also an eye-opener for Lupin, who knew for the first time that there were wizards who were much more effective without a wand than with a wand, and if it weren't for Karn's appearance, Lupin would have thought he was teaching magical creatures.

He was under the impression that only magical creatures did not need a wand when using magic, it was their instinct.

In just one month, Karn had learned a lot of useful magic from Lupin, and he had forgotten all about the illusion charm, illusion, occlusion, patronus charm, and memory magic.

However, forgetfulness is only the introduction to memory magic, and the more advanced memory magic is the receptive mind, this kind of magic needs to be tested by the Ministry of Magic before it can be learned, and the standard of forgetfulness is not so difficult.

Lupin doesn't know a lot about Regent and Occlumency, he is good at it and he is not, and the least good at it should be memory magic and transfiguration.

As for Lupin's expertise in dark magic creatures and wandless spellcasting, dark magic creatures were very useful, and Karn consulted him a lot, and was going to pick out some materials for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

There was no need to consult Lupin when it came to wandless casting, and perhaps only magical creatures could be Karn's teacher when it came to wandless casting.

Lupin doesn't use a wand to cast spells, and his magic is a little less powerful, while Karn, on the other hand, has stronger magic without a wand.

Karn didn't learn the dark arts from Lupin, Lupin is a very high level, but he is a bit dead-eyed, he will definitely have a lot of dark magic, but the release of black magic has a lot to do with the user's emotions, and it is very dangerous.

Learning the dark arts could cause irreversible damage, and Lupin was not sure enough to teach it, but he did teach Karn Animagus this advanced transfiguration.

Lupin was not very good at ordinary Transfiguration, but he knew the Animagus very well, and was very unconcerned about the regulations required by the Ministry of Magic to register.

Although he didn't say why, Karn could guess that Lupin's knowledge of the Animagus came from his three illegal Animagus wizarding friends.

It's just that the process is very troublesome, so troublesome that you may not be able to transform successfully for several years, if you want to ensure that you can transform smoothly, it is best to find a wizard who is proficient in astrology to help.

However, Karn chose to use high technology, and he could go directly to the Meteorological Bureau to get the information, which was not a difficult task for him.

If all went well, Karn would be able to learn the Animagus in three months, and according to Lupin, it took him a semester for several wizarding friends to learn the Animagus.

Hermione was also interested in Animagus, but was forbidden by Karn; He dared to learn because he had the powerful healing power brought by the Desperate Virus, and Hermione was not yet in the second year, so he was just getting started with Transfiguration.

Maybe Karn would have allowed Hermione to try it when she was in her fourth year, but forget it now.

............

"Godfather, look at this, your name and image appear in the Daily Prophet."

One day, Karn was enjoying his rare leisure, and Hermione suddenly ran over in a hurry, half of her shoes off and a copy of the Daily Prophet in her hand.

Karn had no choice but to put down the half-drunk lemon tea and reach for the newspaper.

But Hermione dropped her hand halfway through, and then sat down beside Karn and said to him, "I'll read it to you, Godfather." ”

Then, Hermione read all the news about Karn in the Daily Prophet with some emotion.

"Dumbledore's education reform is so worrying that he has invited an unknown wizard to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts... It's so infuriating, they don't even know your godfather! ”

"The owner of a magic material shop? Perhaps it would be more appropriate for him to teach herbalism at Hogwarts..... This guy's words are also infuriating. ”

"According to a reporter, Mr. Malfoy of the Hogwarts Board of Trustees expressed concern about the new Board of Trustees, and Mr. Malfoy believes that Muggle-born wizards may not know about Hogwarts' long history..."

Before Hermione could finish reading, Karn patted her head and interrupted, "Okay Hermione, if you continue to read it, you're going to turn into a balloon and blow it up, don't worry about the above words, these people are standard wall grass, you can take a look at it tomorrow." ”

Karn had already sent a gift to these so-called critics, who held out like the French, and surrendered at the speed of Galleon's frightening.

"These people are not just discriminatory, they are more in jealousy."

Karn said with a smile that when he came back from the Romanian dragon training field, he asked Keitel to buy a large number of fire dragon materials on the market, and half a month ago, there were few fire dragon materials on the market in the British wizarding world.

And with Karn's participation, the price of various parts of the fire dragon has risen a lot, and the dragon's blood has even tripled.

Someone had already noticed the unusual price of fire dragon materials, and they sent someone to Romania, but the news they got was uncomfortable.

The dragon materials have been contracted by Karn, and if they want to buy dragon materials in the future, they can only buy them from the dark wizard who poached the fire dragon.

However, Karn provided Galleons to the Romanian dragon training grounds, which was enough to give the dragon trainers there more strength to deal with poachers, and there would be fewer and fewer dragon materials on the black market in the future.

In the past month or so, Karn has already received two potion shops from Europe, and they have to sign a trade contract with Karn's magic materials because they can't buy dragon materials.

Keitel's inventory was directly reduced by more than half, so she and three other employees had to buy a large amount of magic materials for annexation-style expansion.

Keitel had been promoted to store manager by Karn, and she hadn't touched her favorite potion for more than a month, and was fully engaged in business.

"Godfather, are you ready for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class after school starts?"

Hermione put down the Daily Prophet and turned to Karn, her bright brown eyes looking at Karn expectantly

"I'm not ready for my second year yet, and although Phil said he could come with me, but..."

If Karn couldn't read the look, he would be blind, thinking that Hermione had been brewing potions for twenty days in a month, and that he should indeed go out for a walk with her.

"Let's go Hermione, I was just going to go out for a walk today, you're in your second year, do you want to take a broomstick to Hogwarts? I've heard that the Firebolt is doing well..."

Hermione didn't be happy for long after hearing the incident, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No, Godfather, I don't like broomsticks." ”

If she had to choose between potions and broomsticks, Hermione would definitely choose to brew potions; She's been an astonishing staple in potions, having been able to make a polyjuice potion last month, and is now experimenting with its type of potion.

Hermione then went to change her clothes, she often wore white pantyhose at Karn's house, and although the reason given was that it was more comfortable, Hermione would change into other clothes when she went out.

...............

Now that school is approaching the beginning of school, Diagon Alley is full of wizarding families who have come to buy items, and today the Granger couple did not come, probably yesterday Hermione went back to tell them.

"Godfather, we can go to the Blott Bookstore first, today is Mr. Lockhart's book launch, and I want to buy a copy of his travelogue."

Hermione, dressed in a wizard's robe, was full of active youth, and she was now like a white rabbit leading the way.

"Girold Lockhart? His writing is good, but he seems to be a liar himself. ”

Karn remembered the man, and whispered in Hermione's ear; This guy has a lot of fans, and if you say this in public, you might get into trouble.

Hermione opened her little mouth in disbelief and said, "How is that possible.."

Karn spoke, "That's what Dumbledore told me, he was originally the one who was chosen for the Defence Against the Dark Arts class was Lockhart, because Hogwarts could expose him, but now it's me, but Dumbledore should think of other ways..."

Hermione, the greatest wizard of the century and one of her favorite wizarding writers, was also a little embarrassed when she heard this, and after a while she decided to believe Karn and Dumbledore, but Hermione was still as disgusting as if she had eaten a mouthful of earwax-smelling beans.

Karn smiled when he saw Hermione's puffed cheeks, and said, "His stories are all plagiarized from other wizards, using memory magic, and the books should be true, just change them to someone else when you read them." ”

"Absolutely not, it's plagiarism, it's a crime."

Hermione said angrily, "I hope Professor Dumbledore will debunk this shameless guy soon." ”

Hermione then deliberately avoided the Blotted Bookstore, and she dragged Karn to another place to buy what she needed, but all she could change into was wizard's clothes and textbooks.

After visiting some dessert shops, Hermione ended up going to the Blotted Bookstore.

However, when Karn and the others arrived at the Blotted bookstore, they happened to see a commotion in front of the bookstore, as if someone was fighting.

"Godfather, that's my friends, Harry and Ron!"

Hermione's sharp eyes saw that the party fighting was none other than a college friend of hers, so she pulled Rakane's clothes and said to him, "Can I go and help them, Godfather?" That Malfoy guy was a nuisance at school. ”

"Everyone next to you will notice you, the Ministry of Magic doesn't allow wizards to use magic duels in Diagon Alley, put away your wand, Hermione."

Karn told Hermione to take her wand back, remembering that Lucius Malfoy had denigrated him in the Daily Prophet, and used a silent shackle spell.

In the next second, Lucius Malfoy, who was fighting, was imprisoned by a magical force, his eyes widened, and he was punched several times by Arthur Weiss.

However, Arthur also noticed that Lucius was imprisoned by magic, so he never fought back; After he stopped, Lucius also abruptly regained his freedom.

"You, have a nice helper, Arthur!"

Lucius said to Arthur Weiss because of anger and resentment in his eyes, it was the first time he was so embarrassed, and he was punched several times by Arthur, a sworn enemy, in front of dozens of people and did not fight back.

And most importantly, he didn't find out who used the spell, otherwise he would have reported it to the Ministry of Magic to fine Arthur Weiss.

"Isn't this Mr. Malfoy?"

Someone next to him suddenly spoke, and when Lucius and Arthur heard this, they turned their heads to look in the direction they were talking about; They met a wizard with a handsome face and a noble temperament.

After greeting them, the young wizard walked over to them, followed by a small wizard with fluffy hair.

It's just that Arthur felt that this person was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere the other day.

"Mr. Karn Pent."

Lucius gritted his teeth and called out Karn's name, he probably guessed who had used the Imprisonment Charm on him, the professor of Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts and a colleague of his school board.
