Luna had always looked like she didn't care about anything, as if nothing in the world could spoil her state of mind.

So to this day, this is the first time Gretel has seen her smile in real life.

To be honest, Luna, this girl, Gretel was really a little stunned, and that unreasonable inspiration really made his liver tremble.

Whenever she looked at herself with meaningful eyes, Gretel always thought she understood something.

For this, Gretel had to hide from her in her daily life.

Luna seems to be aware of his feelings, too, so she basically doesn't talk to him unless she has to.

It seems that the change in her body this time is indeed quite big, so that this girl took the initiative to find Gretel again.

"It's a lot like what my mother smelled like."

After seeing Luna's smile for the first time, Glitter saw her first loss.

Come to think of it, this girl must miss her mother.

Luna's mother's name is Pandora, and she is said to have died when Luna was nine years old due to an accident during an experiment.

Things like experimenting with death often appeared in ancient times, when sorcerers were always bold, spells, potions, and alchemical products.

If you have an apprentice, let the apprentice experiment, and if you don't have an apprentice, you can do it yourself.

So the mortality rate at that time was basically high all year round.

However, as the wizards' magic system gradually improved, this kind of thing rarely happened.

In modern times, it is not possible to produce a wizard who killed himself by accident for decades.

Luna said that Gretel now smelled similar to her deceased mother.

This can't help but make Glitter wonder if Luna's mother was born with this talent for being close to nature.

After two weeks of recuperation, Gretel's spirit has returned to normal, and he no longer spends his time in a daze.

However, the experience of recuperating in the infirmary has always been deeply engraved in his mind.

The tiny, almost imperceptible presence like an elf was almost impossible to feel after he recovered, but he could feel that as he digested, more and more mysterious particles lingered around him.

And as long as he is near other wizards, or alchemical items with powerful magical powers.

He could still faintly perceive the feather-like, joyful little presence that shuttled freely through the air.

If the smell that Luna felt was indeed inseparable from this mysterious existence, then it is very likely that Pandoralovegood had an accident when he was studying this kind of thing.

The exact circumstances are unclear, but it is now widely rumored that Pandora had recited the wrong spell to cause the explosion.

Knowing that Gretel didn't like to make contact with herself, Luna said these two words and walked away on her own.

She also had to look for the new trinkets that her classmates had hidden, which she had just made during the holidays.

——

Gretel thought about this existence, which was likely to be related to the source of magic, and casually stepped into the dormitory.

At his bedside was the year's class schedule.

But don't look at it, Terry's visit this day has already told him everything.

Terry chose Divination and Muggle Studies, and according to him, it was easy to get a high score in Divination, as long as you weren't so outrageously on the Divination exam.

Muggle studies were done because of Gretel, who had a Muggle wizard friend, and Terry was eager to deal with Muggles after graduation.

He also brought a message from a divination professor to Gretel, saying that as long as Gretel chose her class, she would be confident that she would train Gretel to become the greatest soothsayer in the world.

However, Glitter is not sensitive to divination

Even if he is considered a top student by everyone, Gretel did not take all the courses as they thought, he did not have this obsession, nor did he have the time.

Even lying in a hospital bed, he chose courses for himself overnight, Muggle studies and ancient runes.

These two courses were the ones that Glitter had decided to take a long time ago.

One is to understand Muggles from wizarding perspectives, and the other is to understand the ancient wizarding community itself.

Only if you can read the runi language can you appreciate the meaning of the original author's expression, and reading the translation always gives Gretel a feeling of indescribability.

These two courses were the most useful to Gretel, in fact, he also wanted to choose alchemy, but that course was not open to students below the sixth grade.

Magical Beast Protection, Gretel felt unnecessary, and when he learned that he had not taken this class, Hagrid called him and expressed his disappointment.

It was the first class he had taken as a professor after he had been wronged, but in the end he expressed his understanding that Gretel was so busy.

Arithmetic divination, like divination, as long as it involves divination, Gretel does not like to touch it.

He was sure that he did not have any talent for divination, and instead of hoping for the future through divination, it was better to grasp the present moment.

When Gretel handed in his course selection records, there were a bunch of disappointed people.

Harry was disappointed that none of his electives were with Gretel.

Hermione, on the other hand, was disappointed that Gretel had avoided her challenge, and that the day she visited Gretel, she had left a message that she hoped to compete with Gretel in all classes.

Of course, one of them was the happiest, Mr. Ron Weasley.

Originally, after Gretel saved Harry, a thick layer of dark clouds was placed on his heart, but he didn't expect that none of them would meet Gretel in the elective class in the end.

This made Ron happy for many days, and even when Crookshan bullied Spotted again, he couldn't bear to be angry.

The unresolved Defence Against the Dark Arts professor still fell on Lupin.

Lupin's heart jumped out of his chest when he heard that Harry had almost been sucked by a Dementor on his way to school.

For this reason, he approached Dumbledore directly and expressed his wishes.

For Harry's safety, and in order to block Snape, who has not given up until now, Dumbledore made the decision and made Lupin the new year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Hearing this news, Glitter couldn't help but wonder if there was no such thing as energy potions in the wizarding world, Remus Lupin's moon face.

Under the wolf who has been boiling day and night, will the oil run out of the lamp within a month?

Considering that he still has to take the wolf poison potion configured by Snape, I don't know if the two salaries of the Night's Watch and the professor will be able to support him until the end of the period.

Glitter didn't think that Snape, who had been on the same page as the raiders as a whole, would provide Lupin with potions for free.

Even if it was Dumbledore's arrangement, it was absolutely impossible.

The feud between Snape and the Raider Four, like his love for Lily Potter, lasted forever until death.

Glitter had thought about abducting Snape after graduation, and with him anyway, he would definitely not let Voldemort kill Snape.

He has this faith, and he has this ability.

It's just that, first, considering that Snape and their organization's selection criteria are too far apart.

The second is that if Snape were given a choice between him and Harry, he would undoubtedly lose the election.

In the end, the matter was settled.

If you want to talk about the whole school, except for Luna, who is naturally full of inspiration, Snape has a lot of behavior towards Gretel.

Just as he trusted Dumbledore, so did Gretel.

At the very least, Snape would never reveal his information to Dumbledore without threatening Harry.

After all, he was basically Snape's mantle heir now, and there was only one ritual between the two, or rather a stabbing of window paper.

And unlike Professor Voldemort's teachings, Snape never coveted his existence, nor did he want to lure him into some strange organization.

On the contrary, one day, Gretel may be in danger, Voldemort may be on the sidelines, and Snape will definitely reach out and grab him.

This is why he occasionally exposes his true temperament in front of Sijiao.

In front of Voldemort, no matter how much Voldemort admired him, Glitter was suspicious.

——

After deciding not to get involved in any of the mess, Gretel realizes that time flies.

For most of the third-year students, this semester seems to be a little lacking in passion.

You know, in the first and second grades, they were all driven back to the common room.

But this year, except for the Dementor encounter on the train at the beginning of the school year, nothing strange has happened so far.

Oh, by the way, except for Gryffindor, they had an incident, and on October 31, Gryffindor's portrait of the fat lady was cut to shreds.

Everyone thought that the adventure of the new school year was finally about to begin, but until the end, everyone slept in the hall all night, and nothing else strange happened.

Harry was worried, believing that the omen of death was about to be fulfilled, and that Blake had come to kill him to avenge his master.

Harry hadn't slept well all night, and he felt as if he was being hung in the wind.

Hogwarts lifted the alert the next day, and so far this school year, there has been only one victim of the Fat Lady.

Harry was so anxious that he even slipped in one day when Glitter was in a Muggle studies class.

"Gretel, I'm really worried, do you think I'm going to die? Professor Trelawney said she could see from the imagery that my life would be in danger. ”

Gretel didn't turn his head at all, just stared at the blackboard, his lips moved slightly, and he gently squeezed out a few words.

"Professor Trelawney's prophecy doesn't take effect most of the time, unless it has something to do with that person."

Gretel's words seemed to poke Harry's laughter, as if Professor Trelawney was prophesying to others every day.

But the most accurate ones are often related to Voldemort, as if she is the one who is special to Voldemort.

In other words, half of the credit for Voldemort's defeat goes to Professor Trelawney.

If it weren't for her prophecy, Voldemort probably wouldn't have made a move against either Harry or Neville at all.

Perhaps the end of death was avoided.

Gretel's words relieved Harry for a moment, at least during class, and his frowning brow from the beginning of the school year finally relaxed slightly.

However, at the end of class, he began to worry again, and Glitter didn't want to do much, but just persuaded him not to be too anxious.

In fact, Harry, who believes in Gretel like Harry, can save Harry from anxiety as long as he reveals a little bit of Blake's information.

However, Glitter couldn't do that, and this school year, as long as there was no butterfly effect, no one would die at all, just to keep Hallido in a state of worry for a while.

But once he was clear, he didn't have to think about how to explain the source of his news.

Harry alone, he certainly couldn't keep it a secret, at least, he would talk to Ron and Hermione.

Ron knew, which meant that Spotted knew that people like Peter Pettigrew would never put themselves in danger.

Gretel believed that he would certainly not mind bringing a big gift to his master while he was running away in search of his master.

So, he would only verbally comfort him, and beyond that, he would not participate in Harry's third-year life.

——

Never once has Gretel been so looking forward to the Christmas holidays as he was this year.

Like he's never been like this semester, life is so regular.

Attend classes on time every day, go into the room of responsiveness whenever he has time, organize new people in the church, and develop his own unique spells.

The assignments for Muggle Studies were simple, and the assignments for the Ancient Runes were even simpler.

The former also requires Gretel's independent thinking, while the latter translates a passage from Runi into modern language at the request of the professor.

During this period, he consulted countless sources and corrected many historical facts that had been misunderstood in the past because of reading translations.

The more he knows about history, the more Gretel feels that Mr. Floring, who runs a cold drink shop in Diagon Alley, has a mysterious identity.

For even the detailed history recorded by Runevin was not as detailed as that of Mr. Florin when Harry was doing his homework during the holidays.

However, leaving from the station, he did not go to Diagon Alley, after all, the monk could not run the temple.

The telecommunications store is not very far from the cold drink shop, and Seni has his own to keep an eye on the mysterious Florin for him.

Glitter left school this holiday just to get to Azkaban.

Yes, Azkaban, who everyone in the British wizarding world fears, that Arthur Weasley went once, and scared Azkaban who didn't come back for a long time.

Of course, he wasn't trying to enroll in Azkaban, he was eyeing the Dementors who the wizards couldn't do anything but expel them.

This semester, he tried all kinds of methods, but he did not observe the mysterious substance that may be related to the existence of magic.

Coupled with the fact that the Patronus had eaten the Dementors at the beginning of the school year, he found that his spirit was much stronger, and his spells were much smoother than before.

In the spirit that it would be a waste of resources to leave untouched, Gretel left the station and headed straight for Azkaban.

He's going to Azkaban to fish and mine.

Azkaban was located in the cold waters of the North Sea, and was never marked on Muggle maps because of its magical cover.

Ordinary wizards only know that Azkaban is in the North Sea, and few people know the exact location.

However, for the old saints of Godot, who have almost upturned all of Europe, there is nothing to be called a secret in this land where they were born and raised and determined to reform.

The saints didn't know what Glitter wanted to do in Azkaban, but since Glitter was in need, they would be generous.

After all, everyone in Godot Town knows that Gretel's patron saint is very fierce.

With the protection of such a fierce guardian spirit, those soulless demons would definitely not cause him any trouble.

As for whether Glitter will release those vicious criminals?

The saints didn't care at all, all they cared about was whether Glitter could let them see that wizards could live in this world as equals before they died.

Since he was going to Azkaban, he certainly couldn't cause anyone to record it.

To this end, Glitter even rode a hated magic broomstick.

The Ministry of Magic never monitors the fluctuations of such magical creations, they don't have the energy.

A 150-mile-per-hour firebolt, even if it flies to Austria, takes only about five hours.

Azkaban, located in the North Sea, is far from the British mainland, but it is certainly not as good as flying to Godot.

After flying for more than three hours, Glitter saw the eerie black outer wall of the castle.

Azkaban was not a prison, he was a castle where wizards studied the dark arts.

The Dementors are the product of his use of dark magic.

In those years of wizarding savagery, there were many Muggle sailors and merchants who fell here.

The island that Azkaban is on is not very large, and there is not much to spare after a castle.

However, it was also convenient for the wizards to make this place a prison, surrounded by the sea, far from the people, and they believed that no one could escape from it.

The dementors, who could not be destroyed, became natural jailers, and the wizard agreed with them that as long as they did not run around, the prisoners on the island would be at their disposal.

Normally, Dementors don't suck a wizard's soul out of each other, and they know it all right away.

Prisoners like Sirius Black are their favorite kind of existence.

Even if they came to suck the happiness out of him every day, he was able to keep his senses and even generate new happiness in the near future.

The joy that emanates from the soul of the living attracts them more than the soul.

Most people gradually lose their minds and the sense of happy memories after a week of coming to Azkaban, and life is worse than death for them.

Such prisoners, after being judged by the Dementors to be unable to regain their sanity and produce happiness, will be robbed of their souls and become a mess of walking corpses with only their bodies alive.

Sirius wouldn't have been able to keep his sanity if it weren't for his obsession with revenge.

He should be glad that he had never fantasized about the happiness of a successful revenge, otherwise even this obsession that guaranteed his sanity would have been sucked away by the Dementors.

Wizards, no, it should be said that it is human, the happiness of the human soul, for the Dementors, is the most cherished delicacy in the world.

This is how Glitter attracts the attention of patrolling Dementors.

It's common knowledge that Dementors can communicate with wizards, but they are only willing to communicate with the Ministry of Magic or wizards who are too powerful for them to mess with.

The Patronus Charm is the best bait for fishing, but he has to control it, so that only good emotions emanate from his body, and he must not let the spell take effect.

Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that the Dementors would not be banished away by him because of the nature of the Patronus Charm, or that his Patronus would jump out and go on a killing spree against the Dementors.

Thank you for the monthly ticket support of DingWANG.

Small theater

Gretel: Harry, you don't want to put you or Ron in danger because of the butterfly effect, so don't think about it, just be honest with your nightmares.

Harry: I'm talking to you, you're playing tricks on me???

Ron (peep): Break fast, break up, break break......

Harry: Forget it, who made you my best friend, I'll just listen to you.

Ron (jumping out): Gretel, I'm going to kill you

Harry: Ron, don't~
