Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Happy Valentine’s Day~
Unwilling to admit defeat and with a certain inexplicable mentality, Hermione gritted her teeth, redoubled her efforts, and pushed herself to the limit.
Just over a week later, she developed heavy dark circles under her eyes, her hair was disheveled with no energy to take care of it, and she walked unsteadily.
I thought that with the magical aid of "Arcane Wisdom," I could go one step further and shorten the gap with Ted, but I didn't expect the gap to become even wider!
Hermione clearly felt that the things Ted was currently studying were something she had never heard of and couldn't understand. Even though she looked through the second and third-grade textbooks, there was no similar knowledge.
Despite being more mature than ordinary little wizards, more eager to learn and working harder, she is still only a 12-year-old girl and cannot withstand the huge pressure of postgraduate entrance exams or public exams.
Within two weeks, her mentality changed! On this day, she still insisted on staying in the library until the end, even though she was already dizzy.
On the way back, Hermione suddenly collapsed. The book in her hand fell to the floor with a crash, and her whole body collapsed. She sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Later, she randomly picked up the books and stumbled back to the dormitory, crying all the way. She is so tired; she wants to go home! She misses her mother~
Ted only learned about this after finishing his solitary confinement with Professor McGonagall. Hermione, who hadn't even washed her face at night, lay on the bed blankly, staring at the ceiling.
This frightened her roommate, who worried that she was under a curse. During this period, she was not in the right state.
At this moment, a paper crane fluttered into their dormitory, landed on Hermione, and then unfolded into a piece of paper. Hermione sniffed and picked it up with red eyes to read...
She rubbed her still red and swollen eyes and muttered something. Finally, she got up, washed her face, and then went to the lounge to meet Ted.
"Let's go, I'll take you to a place. No one else knows!" Ted pulled her away.
"Dang, dang, dang~ The Room of Requirement, the most magical room in the castle! Now open to Miss Hermione~" Ted introduced the Room of Requirement with an exaggerated expression and movement.
"I need a date place~ I need a date place~ I need a date place~" A large door with carved sandalwood appeared.
After entering, Ted took out the food and drinks he ordered from the kitchen elf and sat across from Hermione. If you are in a bad mood, eat a big meal first. Especially sweets can make people feel happy.
While eating, Ted began to explain his "adventures" during the Christmas vacation. About Helena and Ravenclaw, the current location of the Room of Requirement, and Dumbledore and the Ravenclaw legacy.
"So, is the reason why you are studying so well now because of the Ravenclaw legacy?" Hermione asked, biting her spoon.
Ted shook his head, "Ms. Ravenclaw left behind some of her past research materials, which are things that we can't use at all now. The simplest ancient magic text can only be taken by us in the third grade. The reason why I learn faster is not important at all."
He looked at Hermione: "The important thing is, what do you want? You work so hard, what is your goal?"
"What do you want? What is your goal?!" Hermione was stunned. Is there anything else you want to study?
"In the East, a philosopher said: My life is limited, but knowledge is infinite. It is wrong to pursue infinite knowledge with a limited life... I study hard, and my goals are very clear, so my studies are relatively directional. What about you? Have you considered your own direction?"
Ted began to enlighten Hermione and help her sort out her thoughts. What is the purpose of studying so hard? A score? A curse? Transfiguration? Potion? Or is it a sense of accomplishment?
With the psion's persuasion and some philosophical concepts, Ted finally calmed Hermione down. At the same time, it made her start to examine her own heart and find her own path.
Although it may be too early for a first-year wizard, Hermione is being "pushed and encouraged" by Ted. Sometimes, geniuses are many steps ahead of ordinary people.
The next day, Ted got up, washed up, and then went for a run to exercise. Neville has already started warming up by the Black Lake. It is the age of development.
After starting scientific exercise and diet, the height of the friends began to develop rapidly. Neville's current height is outstanding among the entire first-year wizards.
After running for a while, Hermione came unexpectedly, which startled Neville. She didn't like this kind of "sports activity" before, especially in the past two weeks, when she spent almost every minute studying. Ted was relieved to see that she had finally untied her knot.
The three of them came to the auditorium after morning exercises and found that the students seemed a little restless, especially those seniors. After listening carefully, they realized that today is Valentine's Day.
Okay, anyway, it's a festival that has nothing to do with the first graders. School is not on holiday.
But Ted was shocked because the system was coming.
"Ding~Trigger the task: [Breaking up a pair is a pair (green)]
Hogwarts is a school of magic, and students come here to learn. How can they indulge in puppy love all day long? Give them a little celestial shock!
Goal: Try to get students to give up on falling in love as much as possible.
Reward: 250 experience points, card [Sturdy Love Doll (green)].
Accept the sanction of being a single person!"
This mission statement and goal are a bit vague. Simply do your best.
Isn't it just to give up their plans to fall in love and appease their restless hormones? I am so familiar with this! I don't know how many times I've been dismissed in my last life.
So, during lunch, some love tragedies began to spread. What started out as chaos but ended up giving up, triangular relationships, car accidents and derailments, expulsion from love, terminally ill siblings, your mother and I, who should we save first when we fall into the water, who should be saved first or the child?
Then, it is said, it is said! Someone suggested to Professor McGonagall that the students should increase the amount of homework during this period, otherwise they would be free all day long...
The faces of the boys and girls in grades 4, 5, and 6 were so ugly. Some people can only catch up on homework in the library and can only eat one bite for dinner. Some boys and girls had quarrels over some strange "emotional issues". Some boys and girls are as afraid of each other as snakes and scorpions, and they simply don't get together.
Ted's mission was completed before dinner.
The problem is that you have to keep your tail between your legs now. If someone finds out that you are the mastermind behind the scenes, you may be hit with seven or eight evil curses behind your back and commit suicide!
Ted looked at the cards he had risked his life to exchange for:
[Sturdy love doll (green)]
Prop card.
Place an extremely sturdy magical love doll that can serve as a training target for various magic spells.
Lasts 60 minutes, cools down for 2 hours.
Note: It will fight back!
Ted simply tried it, and it really works!
With weapons in hand, he can practice the disarming spell. It can fight back and can practice various protective magics. And its magic resistance is very high, making it very resistant to attacks. Ted fired five or six consecutive Fire Blasts, but nothing happened.
You must know that this kind of magic dummy that is fully functional and resistant to fighting is quite precious. The ones Ted found from abandoned classrooms were all broken and had a single function. They were often broken and then repaired. As a result, Ted raised the level of the repair spell!
…
In late February, Professor Quirrell began to contact Ted more frequently again.
Started to exchange some more "esoteric" and more taboo knowledge about the bloodline of magical animals with Ted.
He began to demonstrate his knowledge, strength, and style as a professor in private, subtly instilling in Ted some concepts of ignoring rules and pursuing power. At the end of the month, he even secretly attracted Ted to study Greek three-headed dogs!
"In short, based on my summary and experiments, I came to the conclusion that the magic power of magical animals exists in the blood, which is completely different from us wizards. That's why so many wizards can create new magical creatures, regardless of whether it is cross-breeding or higher-end ritual magic creation, it all is the same..."
Professor Quirrell talks eloquently, showing great confidence in both his body shape and his eyes. It is the kind of pride and unquestionable pride in one's best field.
At this time, he was not the stammering and timid Professor Quirrell.
If it weren't for the purple turban covering his head, you wouldn't even be able to connect him with the previous Professor Quirrell. Now he felt that he was very prestigious in front of Ted and had impressed Ted with his knowledge. So, I won't pretend anymore!
"Finally, I'll leave you with an after-school assignment. Of course, it's just a communication between us. Write a paper on speculation about the possibility of the evolution of blood hybridization of canine magical animals."
"Whether it's a swallow-tailed dog, a Baflotte hound, or those flash dogs and winter wolves from other worlds, you can target them. Of course, some very famous canine magical animals in this world are naturally better, such as the French telescopic bullfighting Dog, or maybe a Greek three-headed dog..."
Professor Quirrell's eyes were very "kind" and sparkling, as if he was very optimistic about Ted.
