Chapter 133 The second school year
It is obvious that Miss Hermione Jane Granger, an authentic British, has no preference for snake meat at all. She even thinks that Ethan's so-called eating snake meat is just deliberately disgusting herself because she doesn't know that snake meat can be eaten.
"Is that so regretful."
Hermione didn't understand, but the other people around her knew Ethan very well. He would definitely not mention eating snake meat for no reason.
Logan even asked directly.
"There is a snake in Hogwarts? This snake is special?"
"It's not ordinary anyway."
The snake in the secret room had a very huge body, and its head was bigger than that of a human. Of course, it was not ordinary to be able to grow such a huge snake.
What's more, this big snake has special abilities: anyone who sees the snake's eyes will die immediately; if it is seen indirectly through mirrors or water reflections, or through certain transparent objects (glasses do not count), it will be petrified.
As for the poisonous fangs that can destroy Voldemort's soul weapon, it is a relatively normal ability.
"It's interesting."
Logan became a little interested in the snake, and Hermione, opposite him, looked at the two boys discussing the snake with a calm expression, feeling something was wrong all over his body.
She felt that Ethan was indeed a student of Slytherin (the symbol of Slytherin is the snake, so it is also called the Snake House).
After that, Hermione did not talk to Ethan, but chatted with Rin Tosaka. The two academic masters had a lot of things to talk about in magic knowledge. Hermione was surprised to find that it was just a holiday. Rin Tosaka's magic knowledge seemed to have made great progress. There were many things she just wrote down but didn't figure it out. Rin Tosaka could easily explain it.
"Where are you going to make up for your lessons this holiday?"
"I really didn't play much this holiday, I've been studying."
Rin Tosaka spent almost all of this holiday on practice, and the only pastime to relax was to play the phone brought back by Ethan and the games contained in it.
In the past few months, she was glad that Ethan gave each person a mobile phone countless times, because after receiving the kind guidance from Ethan and Skaha, she had no extra strength to run around. The only little effort left was to make her crawl back to her bed, and then she no longer wanted to move.
"It's great, are you looking for a tutor in Diagon Alley?"
“…”
Rin Tosaka wanted to say no, but if she said that, she couldn't explain who she had to tutor with, so she could only nod in silence. As for how Hermione thought about it, she wouldn't care.
The train still arrived in Hogwarts in the evening. After returning to Hogwarts again, he still entered the lobby as usual and listened to the speech of principal Albus Dumbledore, watched the newly enrolled juniors and students conduct the branch ceremony, and introduced the new professor Gidro Lohart.
This very famous writer in the magic world, adventurer, winner of the Third Level Medal of the Sir Merlin, and honorary member of the Anti-Black Magic League...
This handsome middle-aged man with a long list of titles will become a professor of the Dark Magic Defense class in the new school year. This cursed position will be changed every year. When Ethan and his team first entered the school last year, the one who held this position was Professor Quirrell, who was killed by Harry Potter.
The newly appointed famous writer did a lot of unrestrained things as soon as he started, such as the first class of the school year. The content of the test was how well the students knew about themselves: questions such as what colors he liked made most students speechless.
The people who felt speechless also included Ethan. He looked at the test paper in front of him and had no interest in filling it out, so he simply handed in the blank paper and the only one written on the test paper was Ethan's name.
In fact, this is not good, because it will attract unnecessary attention. If you really want to be low-key, you can just fool it. Anyway, not many of the students here can answer correctly...or in other words, only Hermione, a small fan, can answer all the questions above correctly.
In this way, Lockhart would never pay attention to him.
But why did Ethan deliberately make himself unhappy for the so-called low-key? He does not want to do too many things, but it does not mean that he has to go against his own ideas, and even tolerate some things that make him unhappy and deliberately do things that he doesn't want to do.
Besides, he had long received the attention of Dumbledore and Snape. Lockhart paid a little attention to him and he had no effect at all. If this guy wanted to cause trouble for Ethan, then the unlucky one would definitely not be Ethan.
I don’t know if Lockhart had any knowledge of all the students’ situations before. He knew that Ethan was valued by Snape, so he did not dare to cause trouble for Ethan. When he was flipping through his test paper, his face changed slightly, but it quickly returned to normal. Then he calmly put the test paper aside, as if he had just reviewed an ordinary answer sheet.
Next, a cage of elf was still released, and the whole class was in chaos. Lockhart ran very quickly and hid directly.
Ethan sighed helplessly at the chaotic class, and never thought about cleaning up the mess. Anyway, if the elf comes over, he will dim the other one with his wand, and he doesn't care about the others.
Like Logan and Rin Tosaka, there is no need to worry about Ethan. As for the elves who are heading for Ilia, you should be worried that these elves will not be caught by Ilia and fed to Xiaobai.
In the end, Hermione still showed her power and controlled all the elves to end the chaos... Through this class, we can know that this year's Black Magic Defense class basically cannot learn anything useful, and it depends on self-study.
"I'm thinking that all the Black Magic Defense classes this year will be eliminated."
Sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Elia was chatting with Ethan with Xiaobai in her arms. Hogwarts' courses were not closely arranged. There was still a long time to go to dinner after the course of the day. The students had enough time to relax, or chose to chat or go to the library. The Quidditch team members could also do some training at this time.
Ethan had no interest in Quidditch at all. He usually went to the library at this time. However, after spending a year last year, he had copied all the books he could copy. The most troublesome thing was that he could not copy them with great fanfare, otherwise he would be able to copy all the books in the library into his own book of inheritance in one day.
Now he doesn't need to run to the library if he wants to read books. It's more comfortable and comfortable to sit in the courtyard and chat while reading.
Then he saw a quarrel between Slytherin and Gryffindor's Quidditch team. When he saw Draco Malfoy seem to be about to burst out the classic "dirty mud" remarks like the original plot, he suddenly felt the sight coming from not far away, and almost swallowed the words spewed out of his mouth.
He is not stupid and will not provoke any existence that is much stronger than him. Although he thinks that no matter how strong Ethan is, he cannot be stronger than a real adult wizard, such as his father, but his father is not in Hogwarts. Even if his father avenged him afterwards, he will be beaten up by the other party first.
So he did not continue to attack Hermione's bloodline. At the same time, because he did not attack Hermione with mud breeds, he did not infuriate Ron. Ron did not use his damaged wand to release the spell on Malfoy, which led to the spell release error and hit him, and then vomited a slug for a long time...
When Ethan thought of that scene, he couldn't look directly at Ron Weasley. He suddenly felt that Ron should thank him, what a disaster he had escaped.
Malfoy also escaped a disaster. As long as he dared to say that word, he would be turned into a sheep that he could not control his body's movements, and then ate grass for a day. No one can remove this spell in this world.
"What spell are you going to release just now?"
Ethan's actions could not be hidden from Ethan's actions. Even though Ethan's magic fluctuations were obscure, Ethan still felt them at such a close distance.
"The sheep transformation technique, a spell that can turn a person into a sheep..."
"Sounds like a transfiguration?"
“It’s a bit similar in terms of effect.”
The days ahead are still calm. Although Lockhart is not very strong, he can barely deal with it by teaching some children. However, Lockhart's class focuses more on "theory". In practice, don't expect this person to have any reliable suggestions.
This peaceful day ended until Mrs. Loris, the cat raised by the administrator Filch, was petrified and words written in blood appeared on the walls of the corridor.
Harry Potter became the suspect inexplicably because he was the first person to discover the crime scene, so he was hostile to Felch. Ethan was speechless and felt that Felch was simply unreasonable. However, Ethan was too lazy to care about this guy. He was paying attention to Mrs. Loris's condition.
"Did you see something?"
"This cat was petrified."
Ilia rolled her eyes, and she could see that she had been petrified, as if she had been petrified. After the petrified curse in this world hit the other party and took effect, although the skin color of the person who had been spelled would change, it would not really turn into a stone.
Mrs. Loris also did not turn into a stone sculpture, but her whole body was as stiff as a stone.
"Can you untie it?"
"Can."
Although the two of them were talking very little, the people next to them could still hear it. Draco Malfoy looked at Ethan with an expression of disbelief, and it seemed like he was saying: I didn't expect you to brag too!
This is a problem that even Dumbledore and Snape don't know how to solve, so Malfoy doesn't believe Ethan can solve it.
Ethan was too lazy to argue and continued to watch the fun.
