006 Dumbledore's Warning
The next morning, when Lawrence opened today's Prophet Daily, the twins still tried to bring the topic back to yesterday's letters.
"So, what exactly is written in the letter?" Fred asked with a plate of fried eggs.
"I said it in the dormitory yesterday, it was just some academic questions." Lawrence flipped through the newspaper and replied, "Didn't you see the letters so thick?"
"Really?" George doubted,
"My wand prevents me from doing anything against my heart." Lawrence replied, biting Bacon,
"It turns out that lying is against our true intentions?" Fred was surprised.
"In fact, I think we still feel guilty--- right?" George said with some uncertainty.
"It's better to look at this than caring about me." Lawrence pointed to the newspaper, "When a Muggle saw Black, it was not far from here."
"Coincidence? I don't think he's so stupid-" George said, "Hogwarts is the safest place in the world."
"Why do I think this is you're changing the subject?" Fred asked keenly, but Lawrence ignored him and began to apply jam to his bread.
"Forget it, we still pray that the next class will go as smoothly as yesterday," George said.
But good luck obviously did not continue to favor the twins. Even Professor Babuling, who has always been kind in ancient magic literature, has constantly emphasized the importance of O.W.L.
"The students in our class are now unable to translate a complete ancient magic text. Although in the eyes of some people, this course has been boring and boring until now," Professor Babuling said earnestly. "But in fact, the ability to apply them flexibly to cast spells is all extremely outstanding wizards. This course is very profound and endless. Your achievements in magic texts are likely to surpass me. In fact, I must admit that there is a classmate who can no longer teach him anything."
"I'm sure the professor is talking about you," Fred asked in confusion after class, "but you never expressed any special actions in class."
"Well, I think it's because of this-" Lawrence took out his magic wand and tapped it in the air. Fred blinked. He saw Lawrence's right hand holding the staff, and several ancient magic words flashed.
"Is this the spell you just cast?" Fred pointed to Lawrence's right hand and asked curiously.
"No, I was casting a spell on you just now." Lawrence said, and pointed at George a few times. This time Fred saw clearly that an ancient magic word was cast on George, and George also looked at Lawrence's right hand and expressed confusion.
"I have used two magic texts on you. One of them is Mannz, which means "people", which can also represent certain support or cooperation to solve problems. The other is Kenaz, which means "fire", also symbolizes "power", "ability", and also indicates "opening"," Lawrence said. "Now the problem is here, and one person has obtained fire, what can you think of?"
"Hold?" George said, but he shook his head again, "It seems that something is wrong."
"This does not explain why we can see the hidden magic text." Fred agreed with George's words.
"In fact, the magic composed of ancient magic texts is very flexible. The power it displays depends on the user's interpretation at that time," Lawrence smiled. "In fact, what I just thought was "dispel darkness" which means "seeing the truth". Through the cooperation between Mannz and Kenaz, the problem was solved, so Fred could see the magic text that was working in my right hand."
"But it seems that the two you used to George just now?" Fred asked with some uncertainty, "It seems to be a Perdhro?"
"Perdhro represents 'mysterious', like magic, also means 'hidden' or 'secret', and also means that the owner can use its power to solve difficulties, so that George can see the magic text in my right hand." Lawrence explained,
"Since they are so powerful, why isn't this a compulsory course?" George asked in confusion.
"Because in fact, the magic power composed of magic texts depends very much on the user's interpretation, which leads to the same composition with ever-changing explanations. The power and function may be very different, just like now, the power of magic texts on you has disappeared?" Lawrence said, and the twins nodded, "Explanation that is too far apart can also cause failure, and a completely wrong explanation can lead to disasters. So when "standard spells" are invented, ancient magic texts are not valued so much, but you will find that some spells are still mixed with ancient magic texts, the most famous of which is the "unforgive mantra".
"Then why do we still have to take this course?" Fred asked.
"Because despite its limitations, it has excellent reinforcement effect when casting various attacks or defense spells," said Lawrence. "You must also study in depth in the future. Your products must have a set of special anti-decryption spells to fight the impact of other spells on the product, otherwise the product will be easily cracked." (Note 1)
"Okay." George said painfully, "this means there is one more thing we need to do."
"What does the magic text in your right hand represent?" Fred asked curiously,
"It strengthens my connection with the wand," Lawrence explained. "If I lose the wand, I can sense its position and respond to it."
"What exactly is your head?" Fred asked with a sad look, "Monster--"
"I think we're going to have lunch soon," George advised, "I need plenty of food to resist afternoon metamorphosis."
"Even Professor Babuling has given us a lot of homework," Fred said pessimisticly, "What else can we expect?"
In fact, he guessed correctly. In the following week, Professor McGonagall gave a lot of mantra practice and homework, and Professor Flivie was the same. Not only them, Professor Sprout learned more about herbal medicine in the greenhouse, which allowed them to take time to come to the greenhouse every Sunday in their spare time.
Professor Ghost Binz tripled the length of his magic history assignments, and Professor Sinista also added a record report on observing astronomy, which means that even their usual holiday leisure time may have become a luxury.
"I looked at your progress, and I must say very seriously that when facing the progress of the black magic creatures, the same is true for the defense spell, but after reading the report, I know that this is not your problem." Remus. Lupin said gently, "Next, I will try my best to get to the class so that you can have absolutely necessary knowledge when you participate in O.W.L."
In the following course, Professor Lupin puts out vivid photos, detailing the common black magic creatures and appropriate response methods.
"I won't give you too much homework," Professor Lupin said with a smile, his words aroused a burst of cheers. He looked at the students gently until everyone calmed down. "But I ask you to go back and review what I teach seriously. We don't have much time. I hope that everyone can get the ideal score in that June exam."
"I think we're quite lucky." Fred smiled after class, "I really don't know how O.W.L, who was the black magic defense technique, prepared last year? Depend on that guy Lohat?"
"It would be great if other professors were the same as Professor Lupin," George said depressedly, "I feel that the amount of homework he has currently issued is the most normal one."
After the Eagle Horse incident, Hagrid seemed to have lost confidence. He now only dares to teach them creatures like tree guarding pots, which are creatures that protect trees. In order to prevent students from destroying trees, Hagrid even asked the students to be at least two steps away from the trees.
"I think the attack power of the tree-guarding pot is amazing compared to the Flober caterpillars." Lawrence sarcastically said during dinner that the Flober caterpillars have no attack ability at all, and they don't even have teeth.
"I agree with you-" Fred and George quickly added dishes to the plate. They had to rush various reports tonight.

With September ending, the twins became even busier in October. In order to win the Quidditch Championship, I had three practice times in a week. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the uninterrupted wind and rain made the court always muddy, but this just made Oliver. Wood made up his mind to strengthen his training.
"As long as we train firmly, we can definitely defeat other teams." At a breakfast, Oliver expressed optimism, and then he got up to get the food.
"I just looked at the bulletin board. Halloween was the first holiday to go to Hogsmeade this year." George lamented,
"I heard Ron say that Harry can't go." Fred said, "I'm wondering if I want to hand over the map to Harry, what do you think, Lawrence?"
"I want to do it too, but I've confirmed it last year-" Lawrence frowned, and he lowered the volume. "Harry's father was one of the maps, and the minister told me that the day Harry lived in the Burnt Cauldron Bar, the minister mentioned that Sirius Black and Harry's father were friends."
"You mean, Black might know this map?" George frowned. "This is not good news."
"But Black isn't stupid enough to break into Hogwarts, right?" Fred asked uneasily, obviously remembering the report at the beginning of the semester.
"In fact, the minister also said that Black's target might be Harry," Lawrence said.
"Have you told Harry about these?" George asked.
"No, I told Harry, if he really wants to know, come and find me." Lawrence replied, and the twins looked at each other and said nothing, "But Harry hasn't been here yet."
"Okay, when Black is caught, you're giving Harry the map." Fred said,
"No problem." Lawrence nodded. At this time, an owl threw a letter to Lawrence. The three of them looked familiar with the waterproof kraft paper bag. It was almost two weeks before Lawrence would receive a letter like this.
"Oh!" George nodded, and he asked in a narrow tone, "Is it here to ask questions again, right?"
"I'm glad you're still interested in my gossip during the heavy schoolwork." Lawrence stuffed the letter into his bag, "but I think we should go to class."
"Why do I think you're changing the subject again?" Fred asked with a smile, but they still stood up and prepared to go to class.

Author's words: Just look at the ancient magic text. Theoretically, it will not appear too many times in the future. Now it is the era of "standard spells".
Note 1: For example, the fireworks developed by the Weasley Brothers, the use of the disappearance curse fireworks will increase tenfold.
