The sun was lazily probing over the eastern horizon, and Ted was already running around the Black Lagoon.

He was followed by Neville, and the other friends were fishing for three days and drying nets for two days.

Only Neville wakes up early every day, rain or shine, to work out with Ted.

His inferiority complex has always been there, and he feels that he is clumsy and unproductive. But as Ted said: even the clumsiest people will reap the rewards of hard work.

If you work hard with good people, even if you can't catch up with them, you can still get something.

In fact, he is more determined than everyone else, which is a very rare quality.

Half a lap away, Ted and Neville were chatting and doing movements to stretch their muscles.

Ted walked by the lake, picked up a pebble that was pleasing to the eye, and played with it in his hands.

The magic envelops the pebble, causing it to levitate and spin in your hand, slowly penetrating the ......

Neville did the same, picking up a rock and fiddling with it for no apparent reason.

Not too far from the castle, Ted and Neville dropped the stone. Seventeen or eighteen stones have been lost there.

Neville couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and asked, "Ted, is there any special meaning to the stones we pick up and throw here every day?" ”

It's been almost a week before Neville asks, and it's really patient.

He laughed, "I'm trying to do magic. ”

"Attempt at magic?"

"That's right! Have you ever heard of ritual magic? ”

Neville nodded, "Grandma said it was a special kind of magic that ordinary wizards couldn't do. ”

Ted smiled, "Aren't we already doing it?" ”

"Huh? Performing ritual magic? Where is it? I—I don't say it~" Neville was stunned.

Ted explains, "I saw an old storybook on vacation, the book was five hundred years old, the story was a thousand years old, older than Hogwarts. It tells the story of a group of sorcerers trying to build the Tower of Babel......"

"Tong, Babel!"

Ted looked at Neville stunned and laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not that arrogant. We pick up the stones every day, inject them with magic, strengthen our beliefs, and throw them here, and over time there will be a small rockery. I think the magic effect will be visible by then...... Of course, I'm also guessing, isn't this an experiment? ”

The two walked and chatted, and they had come to the castle.

The two of them each cleaned up after cleaning up, and then went to the auditorium for breakfast.

Harley: They're already yawning and waiting there.

……

In the morning, Ted Hermione and Hufflepuff had a transfiguration class together, or turning beetles into buttons.

Ted's Transfiguration has begun to take effect. The beetle turned into a button, but it had a few more legs, and it wasn't very well controlled.

Hermione's progress was also very fast, and the beetle began to change, but the buttons not only had legs, but also beetle heads.

In fact, in terms of Transfiguration alone, Hermione's talent is probably still above Ted.

The reason why Ted learned faster than Hermione last year was because the task directly raised his Transfiguration to lv1 and got started. So faster than Hermione.

But by the end of the second semester, Hermione was on par with Ted.

But if Ted was a pseudo-scholar before, Hermione could still keep up, because she was a real scholar, but unlike Ted, a traverser, who was more mature in mind and more experienced in learning.

But then Ted's wizard level was upgraded to level 4 and he got the talent [God of Learning (Purple)], which left Hermione out of sight at once.

In addition to the knowledge in normal textbooks, Ted studied a lot of his own things, but even then. Much faster than Hermione's progress.

It only took one-tenth of the time to achieve twice the learning effect of Hermione. Compared to ordinary little wizards, I'm afraid there must be a gap of twenty to thirty times!

Hermione really couldn't keep up.

At that time, she was sulking all her life, staying up late to study, and she couldn't keep up. In the end, they all cried angrily.

It's still too strong.

When Ted found out, he enlightened her: "Hermione, if I become a scumbag, will you dislike me for being stupid and not be friends with me?" ”

"Of course not."

Ted: "yes, I don't dislike you either. You don't have to be so stressed. "Grin~

Hermione rolled her eyes: "Then I thank you!" It's the first time someone said that I was a scumbag and thought I was stupid!

But after that chat, Hermione really relaxed a lot.

And this year, Hermione has also begun to grow, I don't know if she was stimulated by Ted, and she actually awakened the talent [Xueba (red)].

So, she's been following in Ted's footsteps for now.

Because Ted still has a lot to study and distract from his efforts, she hasn't been left behind in the classroom.

Even in potions, transfiguration, etc., there is a meaning of slowly catching up!

Ted was very pleased with this. It is more efficient to strengthen and motivate each other!

……

At lunchtime, Harley and the others looked at the class schedule.

Hallie: "Ha, let's go to the first class in the afternoon!" ”

Ron immediately became happy: "What class?" ”

Jerry: "Defense Against the Dark Arts~"

Ron: ╮(〉_〉")╭

Neville also has a look of lovelessness.

Last year's Quirrell was confirmed to be a bad guy, but he didn't hate Quirrell.

But this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, he's really had enough.

Lockhart is most interested in Ted, because Ted really praised him to the sky, and that kind of praise was just right, so that Lockhart couldn't wait to reward Ted with a few monthly passes!

As for Neville, Lockhart has been trying to convince Neville to work with him and make a name for himself together. scared Neville, as soon as he heard Lockhart's name, it was as if there were ants crawling on his body~

The friends all looked at Ted: The peacock will be handed over to you, coax him well.

Ted: Look at me!

When you feel comfortable with someone, it means that the person's EQ and IQ are above you.

As a result, Unexpectedly, Lockhart actually chose to do something.

Lockhart is ready for students to "go through the study" of his best-selling book.

But because Ted was holding it so well, he was a little floating, and he felt like he could do it again. I felt that I had to give the students something different and let them experience their own wonderful adventures.

When the students arrived at the classroom, they found Lockhart already there. There was also something more than a person tall and shrouded in black cloth in the middle of the classroom.

"Sit down, sit down, classmates!" Lockhart's standard grin, and the classroom was like someone turning on the flashlight, and a bright light flashed.

"Today, I'm going to show you the true darkness! Terrible monsters! He had the expression of a mortal character in a horror movie.

"It's nothing compared to what I've experienced, but it's dark enough for you. Be careful! Be careful! ”

He suddenly smiled again: "Of course, Professor Lockhart is here, and there will be no accidents~ I don't subdue female ghosts by smiling~"

Ted: Did you sacrifice hue?!

The other students were stunned by Lockhart's performance, I have to say that Lockhart's acting skills are still very passable, with a strong voice and body language, eyes and micro-expressions are in place, and at first glance it is an old drama bone!

"So~" he grabbed the black cloth, "Look! "Rip it off.

Under the black cloth was a huge iron cage, more than one person tall.

This thing can hold Hagrid!

When the black cloth was lifted, the students collectively leaned back and gasped, and the air pressure in the classroom decreased.

Inside the cage was a group of humanoid spirits about twenty or thirty centimeters in size, with long narrow bat wings, two fleshy antennae on their heads, and iron blue all over their bodies.

"Cornwall elves?!" Some students from wizarding families recognized what it was.

Most of the students showed "That's it?" Expression.

Lockhart hurriedly explained: "Don't be careless, these little devils are not easy to deal with, they are very bad!" Will throw away your stuff, pour out your coffee, hang your clothes to dry on trees, stuff garbage into pots...... In short, make a mess of your affairs! It took me a lot of favors to get this a lot of money. ”

However, the students didn't pay much attention to this little thing, and they still didn't believe it.

"Alright! Don't blame me for not reminding you! Face the real darkness! With a little annoyance, Lockhart tore open the door of the cage.

The elves immediately fluttered out, about a dozen, and in an instant they were whistling over the classroom.

These little things are really not things, and they directly start to wreak havoc, tearing books, tearing curtains, shaking chandeliers, slapping students' faces, and lifting female students' robes...... Wait a minute! Newborn, what are you doing?!

However, Professor Lockhart, the initiator of all the chaos, was not able to get any better.

Because there were a few Cornish elves who still remembered this guy who was forcing Lai Lai outside the cage and pointing fingers, the smell of the head oil made them very uncomfortable, so they ran to him when they came out.

Although Lockhart wanted to fight back, the elves could fly, and they were quite fast, and they were very sensitive enough to snatch his wand away and throw it out the window. Then the three elves chased Lockhart and fought.

Lockhart couldn't care about the students anymore, so he just hugged his head and screamed, and ran out of the classroom.

Just five or six meters from the podium to the door, Lockhart's eyes were blue, and his neck was scratched with a few bloody marks. He was even pulled out of a handful of hair by an elf, so that his bangs seemed to be missing......
