Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

After hearing Daphne's comments about Professor Lockhart, Hermione suddenly raised her head and stared directly at Daphne.

She prepared a lot of rebuttals, but Daphne was one step ahead of her and blocked her mouth with one sentence.

"He's lying. The stories in his book "Wandering with Werewolves" are fictitious, or they are not his personal experiences - because that's not how the humanoid spell works." Before Hermione could refute, Daphne What Rice had taught her about the Restoration Charm was shared with Hermione.

"Maybe he has a very deep understanding of magic..."

"It's impossible. Neither Ms. Ravenclaw nor Ms. Hufflepuff who invented this spell could do it - I have their letters as proof. The first time they cast the spell, the effect lasted for up to five years." Rice Open your mouth to support Daphne.

"What's more, he just said so many words, but he didn't have any practical information." Daphne pointed out the problem to the point.

Hermione recalled their conversation just now and found that this seemed to be the case. Whenever Les took the topic in a more professional direction, Lockhart would find a way to take the topic away. I was so immersed in communicating with my idol that I didn't notice any problems.

Now Hermione became panicked, and she tried to defend Lockhart like a drowning person grabbing straws on the surface of the water: "No way, he, I mean Professor Lockhart, he has written so many books. ah!"

"Just because he wrote a book does not mean that he has actually experienced these things. He may have made them up, or he may have heard them from other places."

Rice's words silenced Hermione, and after that she became suspicious: Could Professor Lockhart really be a liar?

"You can't judge the quality of a book by its cover. Once he takes a few classes, we will know the truth." Rice said in an almost desperate tone.

In fact, he no longer had any hope for Lockhart.

The atmosphere in the carriage became very gloomy for a while, until the arrival of the trolley full of food, everyone's mood became a little better with various snacks.

"So besides desserts, is there any other food, even sandwiches?" After buying a bunch of snacks, Les always felt that something was missing. He also wanted to eat some staple food.

"Of course." The kind-faced salesperson took a box of ham and egg sandwiches to Les and fulfilled his request.

But a box of sandwiches couldn't satisfy Les's appetite. Just at this time, a river appeared outside the train window. Les suddenly remembered a food magic taught to him by Helga Hufflepuff, so he immediately started using it.

"Come, let me open your eyes."

As soon as Les said these words, the three little witches in the carriage threw aside the chocolate frogs, sandwiches and other food in their hands, and looked at Les with burning eyes.

They knew very well that Les was about to cast a magical spell again.

"It is said that this spell was invented by Helga Hufflepuff, one of the founders of Hogwarts. They were in a hurry, and Hufflepuff, who was responsible for cooking for everyone, couldn't bear to look at her friends. She ate dry bread with cheese and bacon day after day, and she wanted to get some fresh fish for her friends.”

"But it was winter, the river was frozen, and there was no place to fish, so she invented this spell. She could fish even while sitting in a warm carriage."

Les did some covering for Helga in front of the younger generations. The real situation in history is that the four people were trapped in a cabin in the mountains due to a snowstorm. The four of them agreed to take turns looking for food, but when it was Hufflepuff's turn, she didn't want to go out in the wind and snow, but she couldn't break the agreement because of her face, so she worked out a spell in desperation that allowed her to sit in the cabin. Connect a wooden basin to the river outside through space magic, and then fish from the river through that wooden basin.

This solves the food problem without leaving the house.

"Is it mentioned in the letter again?" Daphne herself laughed after saying this.

"Yes, I have a huge collection of letters."

Daphne made a "tsk tsk" sound, and an interesting idea suddenly popped up in her mind: Why didn't she go to Ravenclaw to verify the truth of this story? She was in the Hogwarts dungeons anyway.

Les got a tub from outside and filled it with water using the Spring Charm. After the water was filled, he took out a fishing rod and threw the fishhook in.

Something magical happened. The fishhook disappeared directly after entering the basin, as if it had really submerged into the river.

The three little witches all widened their eyes.

Less than a minute later, Les shook his hand and caught a fish as long as his index finger.

"I've eaten this kind of fish before!" Hermione recognized the type of fish caught by Les and said quickly and excitedly: "It's deep-fried, even the fish bones are fried to a crisp, and the flavor is great."

At this point, she sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have that condition here."

"It's not difficult if you just dehydrate the fish." Les thought for a while and had an idea in his mind.

He followed the same pattern and soon caught a dozen fish out of thin air from the basin.

With a flick of Les's magic wand, the scales on the fish and the internal organs in the stomach were cleaned out. At the same time, the water in the fish became "restless". After a while, the fish was turned into dried fish by Les.

"You can try it. Although it's not fried fish, it should be crispy enough."

Hermione took one, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.

The originally fresh fish was treated by Rice and was as crispy as a biscuit, and even the bones could be easily chewed. Although there is no seasoning added to the dried fish, it still has a unique taste.

"It tastes great and the spell is amazing!"

Les nodded with satisfaction.

During the next trip, a few people quickly cleared away the snacks and sandwiches they bought for lunch, and enjoyed a feast of fresh fish. They made the fish into dried fish, or lit a fire and directly made it into grilled fish. .

Delicious fish adds a touch of color to a boring journey.

Night gradually fell, and when the sky outside the car window completely darkened, Hogwarts arrived.

As the train slowly pulled into the platform, a nervous look appeared on Astoria's face.

"What's wrong?" Daphne noticed the change in her sister's mood and put her arm around her shoulders.

"I'm a little worried...what if I am sorted into Gryffindor?" Astoria became more and more nervous as she spoke, and there was even a trace of sweat on her forehead.

Neither her father nor her sister, nor even the doctor who came to treat her, were willing to disclose the details of the hospital branch, which made her lose confidence and become confused.

"If you are really scared, just keep chanting my name silently during the sorting. Your wishes will definitely come true." Rice looked at the nervous Astoria and shook his head with a smile.

How could this girl be assigned to another college? However, should we use her to verify Zongsi?
