Chapter 49: Repercussions

Since the details of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class on Monday afternoon were widely disseminated, there has been only one topic of conversation in and around the castle for the next few days, and that is Amosta Blaine.

According to Ravenclaw's Autumn Akihari, at dinner that day, Professor Flitwick went straight into Professor Blaine's office without saying a word, and stayed there for a full four hours before coming out.

Fred and George also confirmed the reliability of this information, it was about one o'clock in the middle of the night, he was adventuring in the castle, and when he walked past the third floor, he happened to meet Professor Flitwick dragging his tired body and panting out of his office from Professor Bryne's office, with a satisfied smile on his rosy cheeks...

"Sa!"

Ron stood on the couch in the lounge and controlled the goose feather that had been pulled out of the couch cushion, and let out a strange roar from his mouth,

"Let me show you my 'Imperial Charm'!"

As he spoke, he shook his repaired wand rapidly, just like Professor Bryan had done that day, and pointed it to the sky, and then everyone nearby saw the feather floating above Ron's head swaying, crawling away with a speed not much faster than a snail, and finally disappearing in the brilliant candlelight.

Harry hiccuped as he sat holding the book of Flying with the Artillery that Ron had given him during the Christmas holidays.

Ever since Professor Bryan fixed Ron's wand in Defence Against the Dark Arts class and gave him his first bonus point of the semester, Ron had completely forgotten about Professor Bryan's use of fantastic alchemy items to monitor the unhappiness of all the little wizards, and had become a big fan of him.

Truth be told, Ron's stupidity had been seen many times in the castle right now, and Malfoy had reviewed the Levitation Charm on a wooden stick in Transfiguration class, hoping it would fly over and pierce Harry's eye, and then he was deducted twenty points by an angry Professor McGonagall.

I have to say that Professor Bryan is really handsome in class, and even Harry himself secretly gestures with his wand in the dormitory when no one is around.

"If I practice Professor Bryan's hand!"

Ron jumped off the couch cushion, he looked at the chandelier overhead, and muttered in a dreamy tone,

"Hmph, see who dares to underestimate me again..., I'm going to first prick a thousand needles in Percy's ass with a feather, and then poke Malfoy's face with two big holes..."

"If you really want to do it all, Ron ---"

Hermione, who was lying on the table writing and drawing, said in an impatient tone,

"Then you should sit down and study the spell model of this 'Imperial Charm' with me, instead of messing around there!"

"Oh, that's annoying, why can't you just say something I can do, Hermione."

Ron, who had fallen from his dream to reality, immediately hung his face in dissatisfaction.

"Troubled, Hermione!"

Harry asked with a grin as he blinked Turquoise's eyes, he seemed to be happy every day without the Chamber Raid and Lockhart.

"It's harder than ever, Harry, you can't imagine what Professor Bryan did with the Levitation Charm, and seriously, I even thought it was an after-school assignment for the Defence Against the Dark Arts improvement class!"

Harry and Ron looked at each other, it was the first time they had heard Hermione express her displeasure with the homework for a class so clearly since they had met Hermione.

“... It took me four days to figure out that the 'Kanre' in 'Kanredi Leviosa' is taken from the ancient runi text, and 'Curillad Kanre' --- Titan's Blade, which stands for 'sharp' and 'indestructible' in this spell! ”

"Ancient Runiwen... But, isn't that a course that only started in the third grade..."

Neville, who was eavesdropping on the side, turned his head and said uneasily when he heard this.

"Well said, Neville!"

Hermione huffed and folded her arms, but her eyes were uncertain about the messy model of the spell that had been drawn on the parchment spread out on the table.

"And the pronunciation of 'm' is a ring structure in the spell model of the levitation spell, and its function is to weaken the spell effect of the levitation spell by restricting the input of mana, so Professor Bryan canceled it!"

"That is!"

Ron's eyes lit up as he moved to Hermione's side, pretending he could read the intricate spell models on paper,

"Can you use the 'Imperial Charm'?!"

"It's not that simple, Ron!"

Hermione banged on the table with her wand,

"I just figured out Professor Blaine's thinking when he transformed this spell, but that doesn't mean I'm capable of using it... I don't have that much magic control, and I can control a powerful combination spell that is cleverly grafted together by two parts while increasing the mana input! ”

Harry, Ron, and Neville looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all suddenly felt that they had learned a lonely experience in the past two years of magic learning!

"Hermione..."

Looking at the restless Hermione, Harry hesitated and comforted, "It doesn't matter if you don't need it, you've always been the best in your first and second years, and so far, no one has been able to figure out Professor Brian's 'Imperial Charm'!" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't need it... What are you talking about, Harry! ”

Hermione glared at Harry in surprise, as if Harry had said something as shocking that it didn't matter if he was expelled from school, "This is our homework!" ”

"But--"

Neville's chubby hands rubbed against each other, looking even more uneasy, "Professor Blaine's exact words were--- you can try and study this spell, and if anyone succeeds, I'll add twenty points to him..."

"Oh, Neville!" Hermione looked unhappy, "We can't be lazy just because Professor Blaine's words have a loophole!" ”

"Ignore her, Neville, our perfect young lady has a great dream of becoming a 'saint'!"

The Weasley brothers, who had just been selling big eggs in the crowd, walked over with their best friend, Lee Jordan, a bit of a hip-hop Quidditch commentator.

Hermione immediately angrily hugged a large handful of reference books on the table in her arms, grabbed her research results and walked to the girls' dormitory without looking back.

"You shouldn't mess with her--"

Ron looked at his two older brothers and shrugged his shoulders innocently, "You've caused Harry and I to finish our Potions homework on our own--"

..........

"Oh, I'm sorry, you're alright!"

Hermione, who was running on the spiral staircase, was so fast that she accidentally knocked a person to the ground, and the book in her arms fell to the ground.

"No, it's okay!"

Ginny, who looked a little abnormal, tightly covered her bulging pockets, and after getting up from the ground, she didn't care much about who hit her, and ran away with her head down, leaving Hermione alone at the top of the stairs looking at Ginny's panicked back, her brows furrowed.

In the dimly lit dormitory, Parvati and Lavender were sitting on a bed smirking at Professor Lockhart's autographed photo, and after a while, the two of them began to discuss the question of who was more handsome, Professor Bryan or Professor Lockhart, and which second-year witches had received love letters.

Hermione pricked up her ears and eavesdropped for a moment, feeling bored.

Hermione quietly looked at the dark shadow on the wall, thinking back to the Weasley brothers' joke and Ron's indifferent attitude when he finally left, and for some reason, suddenly felt that the early spring night was even colder than the harsh winter.

Hermione wrapped her cup tightly, a thin mist covering her beautiful brown eyes.

"The strong will always be lonely ---"

Staring out the window at the dim shadow of the stars, this unprovoked sentence rippled in the heart of the lonely little witch...
