Hogwarts Card System

  Chapter 38 Iron Armor and Long Live Friendship

   "Iron armor protection!"

  Ted picked up his wand, and a thin magic shield appeared in front of him, and then disappeared.

  He finally successfully released the Iron Armor Curse!

   There is already Iron Armor Curse lv1 in the magic column, which means the system has approved it.

  He also gained 65 experience points for learning a new enchantment.

  However, after he tried the effect of the Iron Armor Curse, he felt a little uncomfortable.

  At the beginning, he used magic power to control a ball flying towards him, but the Iron Armor Curse failed to block it.

   "Is this ball a little too powerful?"

   Then he controlled a piece of parchment to fly towards him, but the Iron Armor Curse still couldn't block it.

   "Uh, any more minor attacks?"

   No wonder the original book said that most of the staff of the Ministry of Magic couldn't cast a single Iron Armor Curse.

   It doesn’t matter if this thing can be used, whether the effect is good or not is the key!

  Finally, Ted tested the defense limit of his current Iron Armor Curse...how should I put it?

  Thin as cicada wings, can be broken by blowing bombs, Okamoto 0.01 is ultra-thin and non-touch~

   This **** is really just used, and it doesn't have any protective effect.

   It's not as good as a bubble!

   Panting so much that I was worried that it would blow out!

  But magic is like this. It always needs to be constantly refined, gradually strengthened and optimized.

   This is not like learning mathematics, 1+1=2, you can learn it all at once.

  This is like a craft. After learning it, you just get started, and you need to keep improving and studying afterward.

   During this period of time, he has learned several spells, including the little evil spell "Leg Locking Curse" obtained by solving puzzles. Another "Teeth Curse" harvested in the adventure, I will know it before.

  The former mantra "legs stand still and stop dead", the victim's legs will be as stiff as wood, as if glued together.

   Not very effective, at least not very effective against wizards.

   It would be useful if you could make your hands as hard as sticks, preventing you from swinging a wand.

   But can this thing be used elsewhere? For example, the third leg - the golden gun does not fall back? !

  The latter spells "the front teeth match the big stick", and the cursed person's front teeth will grow so suddenly that the mouth will even be supported, and it will not close at all. Instead, it can restrict the opponent from chanting.

   After a period of intensive study, Ted also needs to relax.

   After dinner, he brought the old guitar alone to the empty terrace, tuned it and plucked it lightly.

  A song "Walking in the Secret Garden" sounded in the silent evening, rippling on the deserted corridors, terraces and towers, flowing freely in the evening wind and setting sun.

   This song is based on the poem "Down By the Salley Garden" of the same name by poet William Butler Yeats. It is about a willow garden by a river in Sligo, western Ireland. So this song is also called "Liu Yuan Li".

  William Butler Yeats was an Irish poet, playwright and essayist, a famous mystic, and the leader of the "Irish Renaissance Movement".

  Yeats's poems are influenced by romanticism, aestheticism, mysticism, symbolism and metaphysics, and evolved his unique style.

  This song is the same, with a different kind of romance and mystery in it, which makes people intoxicated.

  Maybe some students will hear it by accident, stop to listen but can’t find the source of the music, maybe only the ancient magic castle is listening to Ted’s music.

  He is immersed in the music, relaxes his body and mind, allows the unrestrained spread of spiritual energy, and enjoys this short, peaceful time that belongs to him...

   Not long after, a paper crane flew over tremblingly.

  Ted stretched out his hand, and the origami crane landed in his palm, and unfolded into a piece of paper.

   It was Hermione, asking where he was. He also said that he could vaguely hear the sound of a guitar, is he playing it?

   Also, although this ancient castle is full of statues and portraits, there is no artistic atmosphere. There aren't even any musical instruments present.

   It is said that a drama performance a few decades ago caused the fire, and similar activities were later cancelled.

  Ted picked up the guitar and went to find his little friend.

   Before leaving, he glanced at a wall not far away.

  After he left, a milky white ghost emerged from that wall.

   is a lady, she is called Ms. Gray by the Ravenclaw kittens, and is the resident ghost of Ravenclaw.

  She had been hiding in the wall just now, listening to Ted playing music.

  …

  Bring the guitar back to the dormitory, Ted arrived at the abandoned classroom where he usually gathers together, and his friends are already sitting in a row chatting.

  Ted was hearing Jerry say: "...At Hogwarts, I can finally eat cheese to my full! Long live Hogwarts!"

  Because his nickname in Gryffindor is Shushu, he has already started calling himself Shushu.

  Ted sat down and asked, "What are you talking about? So happy."

   Only after asking this question did I know that everyone here is "reminiscing about bitterness and thinking about sweetness".

   Now that we have lived in Hogwarts for almost two months, everyone inadvertently chatted about the great changes before and after coming.

  Not to mention Hermione, a door to the wizarding world slowly opened to her.

  She is so diligent and studious, not only for her grades, but also for her grades. She is really enjoying the fun brought by the magic world.

  Even the history of magic, which other people find extremely boring, seems to her like a weird fairy tale.

  So, the best talent is interest!

   Isn’t the bald man with the cape the strongest hero? !

   Although Ron and Harley came from a wizarding family and had been exposed to magic since childhood, it may be that the wizarding world felt that children should not be exposed to magic early, lest they lose control, so they didn't know much about it.

  Harry did learn a lot from Sirius, but in bits and pieces.

  Ron simply never cast magic before entering school.

  Because most wizards live in a relatively loose house, most of the time there are even wizards in their own family within a radius of more than ten miles, so little wizards rarely have playmates at home.

  The only little wizard Harry had frequent contact with when he was a child turned out to be Malfoy, can you believe that? !

   Yet it is true.

   It is right to think about it, old Malfoy must have been hit after Voldemort's downfall.

   At this time, the Black family, which is also old, rich and powerful, and is still a relative, is particularly important.

  Although Sirius didn't wait to see him, he would mock him whenever he saw him. But old Malfoy does have a lot of family connections and prestige that Sirius doesn't use.

  Well, so Malfoy has been iron fisted by Harry since he was a child! That's the price!

  Gryffindor champion is no joke!

  Ron is at the other extreme. There are seven children in the family, he is the sixth, and he is the most unpopular one.

  Who can wait to see the sixth son~ You sixth son!

  Although it is said that the love of parents for their children should be the same, there are quite big differences in real life.

  Bill, the eldest son of the Weasley family, is the eldest son of the family, a top student, so naturally he is highly valued by the Weasleys.

  The third child is now Peggy, the first girl in the family, and she has a good personality, is also a top student, and is also very favored.

  If there is something new at home, most of it is bought for Peggy, and then passed down layer by layer.

  But it usually ends when it reaches Ron, because Ginny's youngest girl, Old Gada, is naturally favored.

  Although Ron's parents love him equally, but there are too many children and not enough energy, so it is certain that he will be ignored to a certain extent.

  The two elder brothers in front of the family are much older than each other, so there is a generation gap.

  For those who are close in age, what common hobbies and topics can the little sister have?

  The twins’ emotional expression is a bit different from normal people, and they often play tricks on him.

  Only the third sister, Peggy, often cares about her youngest brother.

   After entering school, he finally made close friends, and there were five of them.

Neville, who is a bit honest and dull but reliable savior; Jerry the mouse, who is smart and lively and has a good attitude; there is also Harley, the eldest sister who takes the lead when he is in the early stage; and Ted who copied his homework and guided him how to find information and complete his after-school papers; Although she always complains that they don't work hard, Hermione, who is delicate and always aware of her friends' thoughts...

  Although Ron didn't say it just now, he really values ​​these friends.

  But after thinking about it, is it just me who is mediocre? Ah~ why is it always like this? !

  Neville has the deepest recognition of Hogwarts among almost everyone.

  What kind of life did he spend at home? Almost as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a huge pressure on his shoulders.

  Worried about disappointing the grandmother and family, worried about the disappointment of the wizards who dreamed of the boy who lived to "defeat" You-Know-Who, worried about being sorry for the sacrifice of his parents...

  Under this kind of pressure, Neville didn't turn black. It can only be said that he is a real warrior.

   After entering school, he was finally able to relax.

  No one mentioned the Boy Who Lived anymore, and his friends would not look at him with strange eyes.

  Even if I made a mistake in configuring the potion clumsily, I could get it corrected in time.

  I was so anxious to do my homework that I scratched my head, so someone helped me find reference books.

   Being bullied by Slytherin, the friends were the first to rush up and beat each other...

  Here is also her favorite herbalism and herbalism professor who appreciates her.

   This is heaven!

   Now Neville is so thankful that Hermione came to the compartment he was in and let himself and his friends know each other.

   And Jerry!

  His situation is more special.

  His mother accidentally came to this world after the second Conjunction. And then found out that she was pregnant!

  She originally had a happy family, but suddenly became a single mother.

   At that time, the attitude of the magic world towards intelligent races in other worlds had not yet been determined.

  Many wizards are very unfriendly, and some dark wizards will secretly capture intelligent humanoid creatures from other worlds for experiments, or make dark magic items.

  Even if the Ministry of Magic later recognized them as "human beings", there are still problems with their treatment in private.

  Jerry’s life was not very good when he was a child. As he said, he received the admission notice, became a wizard, and realized cheese freedom at Hogwarts after admission.

Looking at the immature but sincere faces of his friends and those eyes that seemed to be shining, Ted smiled and talked about his joy of receiving the Hogwarts notice in the orphanage and working in Diagon Alley Feelings when...

   Today's friends did not play games or engage in other activities, but this heart-to-heart talk made their relationship closer.

  This kind of innocent friendship without any interests is precious.

  Because by the time you realize that fact, you're out of that and can't get that friendship anymore...
