章節 33: •Returning to Hogwarts
Hermione was talking quietly about the books, when she stopped abruptly. Her eyes widened and before her body could react she found herself feeling boned.
Extimum was still upset, yesterday when I visit the book store, Hermione seemed like a complete fan of Lockhart, you can call him jealousy, but more than jealousy was his pride, even if Lockhart is handsome and presents himself as a great wizard, Extimum did not think he would lose in the looks department let alone capabilities, even if he doesn't have as many "achievements" and "legends" as Lockhart. In addition, he believed that he had been quite clear with his intentions and was not being rejected either, so that she tried to mention it again with such enthusiasm made him remember his annoyance and without much consideration he simply shut her up by biting her neck.
Bloom: 'wow, so you're a vampire? No… you had tails and ears… something else maybe?'. Bloom asked through the link, but Extimum didn't answer.
Extimum was again lost in sensation. The sensation of biting her… her taste… her aroma… her warmth.immersing himself in the sensation, the flow of his blood, feeling his heartbeat, his breathing, then there was the ecstasy, the arousal, the addiction for more, even a trace of madness may have flickered at some point, but there was so much more to it than to notice, the sensation of feeling again united by an invisible bond when tasting his blood, perceiving it closer, feeling not only her body next to him, but her soul, her presence, the physical seemed to transcend and only remain both.
However, he had not allowed himself to fall prey to such euphoria, to such ... addictive pleasure, this was a punishment for her, not a reward, so after being satisfied, he separated from her, not before doing what It felt like a habit, running his tongue through the holes he had left in her skin and seeing them close almost immediately.
Extimum: 'it's really a unique flavor'. Extimum truly regretted that it was only the second time that he had been able to drink his blood.
Hermione sat limp on her seat, her eyes glazed over. Extimum just looked at her a little and then went back to his book, ignoring the surprised, question-filled look Bloom was still giving him.
The tranquility continued for about 10 minutes, until Hermione came out of her stupor, however, the aftermath of the bite still had her in a somewhat dreamy state and relaxed to an abnormal degree. She seemed to have engaged in contemplation, it could not be known if about the facts or the experience, however, since Extimum's bite was with different intentions than the previous one, taking her annoyance and dissatisfaction towards her, the effects on she was too strong, so shortly after she fell asleep without knowing it.
Bloom: "Weren't you a little ... tough on her?"
Hearing her words, Extimum raised his gaze a little from his book.
Extimum: "then, will you take his place?"
Bloom immediately flew to hide in her hair, altering her size in the process. She had been able to perceive the sensory discharge that was produced through the link, just perceiving it had already made her shudder, she did not know if from fear or curiosity, but she was not sure if she could be the recipient of such sensations.
The train left the station some time later, the journey was uneventful, no one came to look for it, Extimum had his suspicions that it probably had to do with what Hermione mentioned earlier and it was likely that everyone had already located in a compartment, for On the other hand, Extimum could guess because he didn't see Harry and Ron.
that Dobby was all a lunatic, who trying to do good, ends up doing bad. Although Extimum did not plan to interfere, not after what happened in the first year, unless it was completely necessary, but he did make a small detail, thinking of Mr. Weasley treating him well, he gave an amulet to Harry yesterday, that had the disillusionment spell, it would last about 20 minutes and it would be activated under two conditions: that the time had passed to enter the 9¾ stations and that it detected that its possessor got into a car, despite the fact that there are quite a few gaps in that Logical, but it was good enough that he could detect the car and function with his limited knowledge. In this way, when they use the flying car, it will hide them for the time it takes them to realize that they must be invisible, of course it would not protect them the whole trip, it is likely that they would see them later when they reach the train, but it would prevent them from the non-magicians would see them and it would save Arthur from trouble.
At some point in his quiet journey and reading, he heard the loud sound of a car engine.
** Burrun-burrun **
Looking out the window was a car, it was a small blue 105E Ford Anglia, which flew past the windows of the train making turns.
[img]
Extimum: "is he a very bad driver ... or does the vehicle just fly badly?"
Bloom: "maybe it's both".
Extimum: "you're right".
After that episode, nothing out of the ordinary happened again and they finally arrived at Hogwarts around 6pm.
Hermione had woken up near the end of the trip, but remained silent and only read her books next to him. She didn't seem upset, rather, she seemed speechless or confused in the face of the facts.
After getting off the train, they rode in the carriages drawn by thestrals towards the castle and finally sat in the great dining room to greet the new first years.
.
Dumbledore: "Good evening everyone, I welcome the returning students and newcomers entering Hogwarts today for the first time, then Professor McGonagall will lead the classification for your houses".
After Dumbledore gave his opening remarks, Professor McGonagall continued with the classification.
McGonagall: "Ginny, Weasley."
Sorting Hat: "Gryffindor !!!".
.
McGonagall: "Luna, Lovegood."
Sorting Hat: "Ravenclaw !!!".
.
As in their freshman year, after the grading ceremony was over, dinner was served.
Steve: "friend, you disappeared on the train, I was looking for you to tell you the new gossip".
Mitchell: "Right, besides, you left us very abandoned on this vacation, you only sent me a letter in 3 months."
Trudor: "Bah, what are you? A girl? Why do you need so many letters?"
Mitchell: "Hmp, all of you who went on a trip somewhere, but I spent my vacations at home and was very bored."
Extimum: "I was a bit busy, but don't worry, I'll give you something in return later."
Steve: "oh, what do you have there? A fairy?"
Mitchell: "What, where?"
Steve: "on Extimum's shoulder". Steve said while pointing at Bloom.
Trudor: "Wow, he really is a fairy, incredible."
Mitchell: "I think I had seen some at Hogwarts, but they are quite elusive."
Steve: "Heh, you just have to flatter them a bit and they will come, they can't help it. ahem, look. Beautiful fairy, come and shine for us, so we can admire your beauty ".
Bloom: 'is he sick in the head?' Bloom just gave him a fixed look as her eyebrows furrowed a little.
Extimum: 'mm, nope, that might actually work with other fairies.'
Mitchell: "wow, Steve, you are so charming, where do you learn those phrases? Look how convinced she is." Mitchell said sarcastically seeing that the fairy was ignoring Steve.
Extimum: "her name is Bloom".
Steve: "Ahem, I was not using all my charm before, now if you see how she comes to me. Oh, Bloom, beautiful resplendent fairy, come and ingratiate oneself us with your beauty and glory ".
Bloom: 'should I go because I feel embarrassment for he?'.
Extimum: 'if you want'.
Steve was starting to blush when he saw that Bloom did not go where he was and since he had become very passionate in his speech, some of the second year had listened to him and paid attention to him, so if Bloom did not go, he would become a great joke for everyone.
When Mitchell was about to tease him, Bloom flew close to Steve and glowed with a soft iridescent light, circled around Steve and returned to where he was before with Extimum.
Steve: "Hmp, you see Mitchell, she couldn't resist my charm."
Trudor: "yes, of course, I think he must have felt sorry for you or Extimum should have told him to go to take pity on your face."
Steve: "Heh, you'll see in the future how my charm will attract all the girls."
Extimum: "well, enchant them all, just don't try again with Bloom, I don't think she'll take pity on you again."
Mitchell: "Hahaha."
The dinner passed quietly, Bloom attracted the attention of some of her acquaintances, especially the girls, such as Padma who came over at dinner to greet and appreciate Bloom. Around the middle of dinner there was a scandal with the arrival of Harry and Ron at school, many had seen them fly in the car when they were on the train and although there was not so much commotion because they were not seen flying by the non- magicians about London, but the students on the train and some wizards had seen them on the way, not counting the fact of the sensitivity of the subject of minors wearing enchanted Muggle items, which still affected public opinion a bit about Arthur Weasley who had a position in the Department Against the Misuse of Muggle Objects, fortunately, since they were not seen by non-magicians, the matter was not considered as too serious and would probably be more easily forgotten, although Harry and Ron they were still punished.
The Gryffindors were especially excited about the feat of flying to school. The uproar managed to bring Hermione out of her calm state, only to be replaced by anger and annoyance at the rumors that basically said Harry and Ron had been in a flying car accident. Not only was that wrong by the rules, it was also very dangerous.
Because they were grounded and would have a detention, they did not attend the rest of the banquet and Extimum did not visit them that night either.
.
Extimum got up early the next day, since he always kept the same routine, even if he varied a bit in his period at home, it was not difficult for his to get up early again.
Extimum got up from his bed around 5am, dressed in comfortable clothes and went to do his physical and sword training for an hour, then used the remaining half hour to go back to his bedroom and take a shower, followed by putting on the Ravenclaw uniform, the blue made a good match with the purple of his hair.
After that, he went to wake up Bloom, who had not accompanied him to training because she was tired of attending to the effusiveness of the girls from Ravenclaw and even some from other houses.
Extimum: "come on, you've already slept enough."
Bloom: "ah, in a while ...".
Extimum: "well, I suppose today you will have to look for your food in the forest".
Bloom: "ah, what? No, wait". Bloom flew off the bed immediately and flew out almost colliding with Extimum's face while still remaining dozed. It was good that Extimum's reflexes were good and he could grab her a little earlier, although he could have dodged her, but she probably would have hit the wall.
Extimum waved his wand casting the quick bath spell at her and then placed her on his shoulder.
Bloom: "kyaa, I don't like how that spell feels, it's shocking." Bloom squealed and sat upright on his shoulder.
Extimum: "then, you should have fixed yourself before."
.
Extimum went to the great dining room to have breakfast. On the way he met Trudor who also used to get up early, Steve and Mitchell on the other hand, they liked to sleep more and they arrived about half an hour later.
like yesterday he had punished Hermione to fainting, he did not immediately go to her table, also, he had not spent time with his Ravenclaw friends, because he had not seen them in Diagon Alley.
Since it was early, only the few older students and a few sophomores were at the table, the freshmen would probably still have trouble waking up early and finding their way.
Extimum sat next to Trudor and they began to select what they would eat, Bloom also seemed happy bringing things to his plate, which she would take for herself later, of course.
As a fairy, the food base was mainly vegetables and fruits, however, Bloom did not seem to have a problem with consuming meat, on the other hand, she was quite fond of cheese, notable for the small mountain of cheese on Extimum's plate.
Extimum took out his magical anatomy book, he almost finished it, so he read it while eating calmly, although he was actually using one of his tails to feed himself. It was an interesting exercise to divide his concentration, it did not generate any mental burden to control his 9 tails, but it was an interesting feeling, like having a sub-brain that could direct each one, so he had no problems like bumping the spoon against his face. From an outside perspective it seemed as if he had enchanted the spoon to feed him, but Extimum didn't like that method because the spoons weren't very patient if you didn't eat at their own pace.
Trudor: "You really are eccentric right? Reading while being fed." Trudor couldn't help but comment upon seeing him like this, although the scene looked quite natural in Extimum. You could see him there reading his book with an impassive gaze in a concentrated way and a floating spoon would occasionally come with a part of his food and give it to him in his mouth; he would eat it gracefully without distracting her attention from the contents, even his glass of pumpkin juice would occasionally come up.
Extimum: "well, you're a magician aren't you? You can use your imagination to put magic into practical things and I consider being fed by myself while enjoying my reading is a good use." Extimum replied without moving his gaze from his book.
At some point, he felt someone sit next to him, but he didn't pay much attention, until he spoke.
Padma: "Oh, are you interested in healing magic, Extimum?"
Extimum paused his reading for a moment to look at Padma who was next to him.
Extimum: "how perceptive, in fact, I want to learn a little from her, it would be useful if something happened and there was no medi-magician nearby, at least being able to guarantee life would be fine."
Padma: "You are right, I have also read some books on the subject, but what fascinates me the most is how magic can affect a magician's body, so many possibilities: potions that can strengthen you, magic rituals that can grant abilities, magic stones that can lengthen life, human transfiguration or transformation, it might even be possible to improve the magical lineage ... Ahem, sorry if I talk too much, it excites me a little ". Although Padma was a brilliant witch, her character used to be more shy and low-key compared to her sister Parvati who was in Gryffindor.
Extimum: "Okay, actually, except for that occasion" - Padma blushed a little understanding what occasion he was talking about - "it's the first time I've seen you talk so much. The topics you mention are certainly interesting, if we talk about longevity, although we live longer than non-wizards but there are still limits and perhaps only Nicolás Flamel with the philosopher's stone would be the only magician who discovered a method for immortality and is not yet a perfect method. If we look at the physical capabilities, although we have many methods to break the physical limits, but it is not a very studied field in magical Britain and although we have a superiority in our genes, but we are not that different from the non-magical physically ". 'well, at least ordinary wizards, great ancient families might not necessarily agree.'
Padma: "Yes, that's why I like to read about those topics ...".
In the end, the conversation became quite interesting, so Extimum put down his book and began to chat with Padma while tasting her dessert. As they spoke, the great hall filled with more people. Steve and Mitchell had also arrived at some point and were surprised to see Padma so enthusiastic in their talk, so even they also joined in to talk about things they knew.
Steve had commented on some stories he had heard about the benefits of getting the Animagus transformation and Mitchell commented on a strange rumor he heard that there were hidden inhuman wizards with insane physical abilities. That last one made Extimum's eyebrow twitch a bit, thinking that he could fit into that category.
Their lively conversation was interrupted when a loud female voice was heard from the Gryffindor table.
"Ronald Weasley! How did you dare steal the car? I'm really mad! Just wait for me to see you. Harry and you could have killed each other. You were lucky the car was not seen by Muggles or your father could have faced severe charges and yet has yet to solve the problems you caused. If you disobey again, I'll take you home! Ginny, honey, congratulations on getting into Gryffindor. Your father and I are very proud ".
** pruurr **
Steve: "Merlin, that yeller almost gave me a heart attack."
Extimum: "It was certainly very annoying." Extimum had also been caught off guard, when his senses caught the loud scream of the howler, the sound was even louder for him, besides he was not that far away.
Trudor: "Yeah, howlers are the worst, plus a bit dangerous if you don't open them."
While most of the students argued about the howler Ron received, the principals from each house passed by the tables handing out schedules to the students for each year.
Flitwick: "Okay kids, here are your schedules, please spread them out among you and be careful not to lose them."
Extimum received a packet and distributed the rest to the other sophomores.
Giving a quick look at his schedule, he would have Potions with Snape as the first class of the day, followed by herbology, all along with Slytherin.
After finishing breakfast, he headed to class with his friends.
.
Snape: "Prepare your cauldrons and your ingredients, today we will make the flame protection potion, it is on page 14 of your basic potion books."
Extimum was in potions class, he was sharing a table with Padma. Snape on the other hand, has just entered the classroom kicking off class.
It was something new that he was sitting next to Padma, usually Steve and Mitchell fought to sit next to him, because they had a lot of difficulty in classes with Snape. Padma had simply beaten them because he was still talking to Extimum on the way here and when they realized they had already sat down, to make things worse for them, Trudor, who was the second best in potions of the four, got someone else, leaving them no other options but to sit together.
Extimum took out the ingredients to prepare the potion, since he had already read the book, he did not have to look to know what he needed. If he had been able to make this potion that day to go for the Philosopher's Stone, the results could have been much better, but it had not occurred to him at the time because his mind was full of the ancient runes that he had been studying for the last few months. In addition, he did not have the time or the ingredients to make it on that occasion.
-
Extimum reached into his bag and took out two cloth bags and a flask.
Inside one of the bags was a large mushroom about 10cm long. Its stem was white and its head was red with white dots. It was an explosive mushroom.
In the second bag, there were some cubes similar to those of yellow sugar, it was warty powder, it was better not to touch it directly or it could cause crusts to form on the skin.
The vial on the other hand, contained magic salamander blood.
These three were the three main ingredients to prepare the potion.
Snape: "Well, I hope they made sure their cauldrons were clean of any other substances." Snape spoke in his usual slow and slightly dramatic voice.
Snape: "Now, light your cauldrons and add a liter of water."
Extimum unconsciously waved his hand and lit the fire for his cauldron, then he began to cut the explosive mushroom carefully and expertly, he does not need Snape to tell him how to do it, this potion was actually quite simple, however, he did it silently he didn't want to have Snape on him scolding him for not listening.
It was something he used to do in his classes because he already knew the subject and with a little bit of illusion magic here and there, he never had a problem.
His relationship with Snape was not exactly good, but it could not be said that bad, but it was likely that at least for this period it would get worse, since he shared classes with Slytherin and Snape would probably try to take points from Ravenclaw and give Slytherin for the least chance.
However, to his bad luck it seemed that his thoughts would be fulfilled, because Padma who was next to him, had followed in his footsteps, it would not have been a problem in a normal case, but she was not so discreet, nor was she covered by the light layer of illusion, so she was noticed by Snape, who in turn was able to notice Extimum.
Because Extimum had a certain reputation in his academic area, with all his perfect grades in the first year, it was not strange that someone took him as an example and much more when Padma saw him light the fire just by waving his hand.
Snape: "Now, slice the exploding mushrooms with a knife and- oh, Miss Patil and Mr. Shadowless ... I didn't know you were so far ahead of the class, if you're not willing to follow directions, you could do an essay on the next one. subject of the class 'Wiggentree bark', describing its uses and where we can find it ".
Padma almost jumped when Snape suddenly called her name, Extimum for another frowned a little, but then returned to his normality.
Extimum: "I apologize Professor Snape, I have acted a bit impatient in my actions, it's just that your presence is really motivating for me and I couldn't help but want to go a little further, however, I still wish to continue in class if possible, for On the other hand, my partner Padma has only been a victim of my actions, because the howler that Weasley received has left her a little deaf in hearing, she has only been able to follow my actions ".
Snape: "Is that so ... well, I hope it doesn't happen again, minus 5 points for Ravenclaw and Miss Patil, go to the infirmary after class is over." Snape's face seemed to improve a little at Extimum's admission and let it pass, not taking away too many points or being too exaggerated, it seemed that having been the least annoying and perfectly fulfilling in all his classes last year had served to earn him some consideration , although it was probable that such a development would not be repeated.
Snape: "Okay, let's go on, add the chopped mushrooms to the cauldron and stir clockwise until the potion turns blue."
Padma: "sorry". Padma muttered as she followed Snape's instructions.
Extimum: "okay, it was really me who came forward."
Extimum had already acquired a certain ability to deal with problematic situations, although his words might sound a bit flattering, it did not mean much to him, it was only political, on the other hand, the results showed that his previous words and actions had been worth it.
The class continued and no further incidents occurred.
.
Leaving the potions class, they headed towards the castle greenhouses, the potions class had been extensive so they only had 10 minutes of rest and to get to the other class.
Steve: "Hey, Extimum, what happened there, I've never seen Snape discover you or tell you anything."
Extimum: "I was just a little careless." Extimum didn't want to make Padma feel bad for such an innocent mistake, so he didn't expose her to her friends.
Mitchell: "that's weird, I've seen you do a lot of things before and they didn't see you, but I guess you're not always lucky."
Steve: "On the other hand, I heard that today we are going to greenhouse 3".
Trudor: "so soon? I thought we would continue to see the plants in greenhouse 1 and 2".
Mitchell: "We have already seen all the important ones there, so it is likely that we will start to see some more dangerous ones and that is why we will go to greenhouse 3".
Padma: "mmm, if we go to greenhouse 3 we might see mandrakes".
.
The greenhouses are located behind the castle, they are generally divided by greenhouses according to the plants that are seen each year, however, they are also divided like this based on levels of danger.
The greenhouse was a long house made of glass and iron, with various enchantments to ensure an ideal environment for each plant and that the most mischievous plants did not escape.
[img]
Herbology class was taught by Professor Pomona Sprout. She was a short woman with short, gray, wavy hair; He usually wore a worn witch hat with some patches, he wore a beich-colored work tunic and his clothes as well as his nails were noticeable a bit dirty from his constant handling of the plants and the earth, on the other hand, he always kept a smile on his face.
Sprout: "Good morning everyone."
All: "good morning".
The students were arranged around several tables that were centered in the greenhouse, on them were placed multiple pots with plants, Professor Sprout, on the other hand, was at the head of all the tables and in front of all the students who were they distributed between the two sides of the tables. They all wore a work tunic because they would get dirty and some dragon skin gloves to avoid getting dirty and protect their fingers from some plants.
Sprout: "Today we are going to dedicate ourselves to replanting mandrakes. Let's see, who can tell me what properties the mandrake has? "
The mandrakes were arranged in the pots in a row in front of the students, nothing more than their green stem and purple leaves protruding from each of them.
Trudor raised his hand.
Sprout: "Okay, tell me Mr. Playing card."
Trudor: "the mandrake is an essential ingredient in the manufacture of most antidotes, mainly for those who have suffered from spells or transformations, but it is also very dangerous when it is mature, because its cry can be deadly".
Sprout: "excellent answer, 10 points for Ravenclaw. Now the mandrakes we have here are still young so they don't pose a fatal threat, but you can still be stunned for hours, so make sure to put your ear muffs on if you don't want to miss your first day of school, now put your ear muffs on, Quick".
The ear muffs were arranged in a piling pot, so all the Ravenclaw and Slytherin students huddled to catch one each, however, at some point, the last remaining, including Extimum, were they gave a certain glance when they noticed that in the remaining earmuffs, one had a rather childish and pink design.
Steve: "Mitchell will leave you the stuffed animal, I think it suits you well."
Mitchell: "hmp, I'd say they match your hair, you should take it."
(remember Steve has ruby red hair)
While they argued, Crabbe and Goyle who had remained among the Slytherins and had not yet taken their earmuffs, came forward in a rare display of intelligence and cunning by taking two common earmuffs, leaving only three ears, two normal and the stuffed one.
Extimum: "they are just earmuffs, it doesn't matter." Seeing that Steve and Mitchell were going to fight again, Extimum takes the pink earmuffs.
Before putting them on, I change their color to purple, but I do not alter the plush design. They didn't really look that bad, it was just them who were overthinking.
Steve: "you are a real man, Extimum". Steve patted Extimum as he put on his own ear muffs.
Mitchell: "yes, yes, a great friend too."
Some too childish among the group of students still wanted to tease about the design of the earmuffs, but one glance from Draco or Extimum and they fell silent.
Bloom: 'hmp, What's wrong with it, the plush-patterned earmuffs are pretty.'
The ear muffs did not completely soundproof, rather they reduced it to a certain extent, making it possible for you to only hear if someone was screaming.
Extimum on the other hand, it did not seem to affect him too much, because technically he had 2 pairs of ears, although his fox ears are kept tucked away and it is his human ears that he mainly uses, but his fox ears still provide him with some perception of sound. far away, not to mention that although they are saved, his sense of hearing has always been just as strong with or without fox ears and it was mainly that when he obtained them, the sense became more acute, although in his first year he had already learned to regulate from naturally or with magic his higher senses, but if he did not regulate it he could become a weakness. Interestingly, such a problem did not occur when he transformed into his fox form, the reasoning behind it, Extimum did not know yet, he assumed that perhaps it was part of his constant evolution process.
Professor Sprout had her methods of communicating her voice without straining her voice too much to each student, even when wearing her earmuffs.
After making sure everyone was well covered, she rolled up her sleeves and with the gloves on, grabbed and pulled up the plant in front of her.
Sprout: "then, they take their mandrake firmly and abruptly remove it from its pot."
** Chiii, chiiii **
A loud and annoying screech was immediately heard when she removed the plant, although it did not affect anyone and was only mainly an annoying sound thanks to his earmuffs.
Extimum only narrowed his eyebrows, but nothing else. Bloom on the other hand, had been quite resourceful, she had taken a bit of some plants from the greenhouse and created a miniature earmuffs for her, in addition to applying some quick enchantments to them to work just like the ones everyone used.
It was important to know that simply removing the sense of hearing would not help, because the attack generated by the mandrake squeal would still affect the ear even if you could not hear it, although you could inhibit the stun effects, but your eardrums could explode or end up severely damaged. if you didn't die of course.
The plant they had been talking about finally emerged before everyone's eyes. The plant was similar to a newborn child, small, muddy and extremely ugly. The leaves came straight out of his head. Her skin was light green with spots, and you could see she was crying with all her might.
[img]
Sprout: "See? Now they put it in another pot and put soil on it to cover it and that's it." Sprout explained while manipulating his own mandrake.
Sprout: "well, as everyone understood, take the mandrake that is in front of you and take it out."
They all positioned themselves in front of their pots and grabbed their mandrakes from their leaves and then pulled them up.
** Chiii, chiiii **
The sound this time was much worse, when about 20 mandrakes were taken out at once.
Extimum also held his mandrake in front of him, as he watched her. her high-pitched crying was a bit irritating and she wasn't surprised that they could actually stun or kill someone.
Bloom: 'Oh let me, I know how to deal with these crying kids.' As she spoke, Bloom spread what appeared to be fairy dust and Extimum's mandrake immediately stopped screeching, easing her irritation.
Bloom's act earned the stares of nearby students and a bright stare from Professor Sprout.
Sprout: "a clever use for fairy magic, 5 points for Ravenclaw." Sprout naturally thought it was Extimum's idea, however, the surprises didn't end there, when all the other mandrakes stopped crying.
Extimum was already preparing to plant his mandrake when the previously noisy greenhouse was silenced, however, unlike Extimum's mandrake that had been soothed by Bloom's magic, the others seemed to tremble in fear and not dare to scream.
Extimum: 'did you do that?'
Bloom: 'No… I just calmed yours down, rather… I think it was you.'
Extimum: 'Me?'
Extimum was not the only one confused and surprised by the facts, the others too, however, Professor Sprout did not think it was Extimum, as an expert in magical plants she could clearly see that it was not fairy magic, There was no comparison to the apparently scared state of all the mandrakes and the peaceful mandrake that Extimum was holding, furthermore, she didn't see him do magic either and you could see the look of surprise in his eyes.
Sprout: "okay, go ahead and plant your mandrakes."
Although everyone was puzzled, they finished the exercise and after Professor Sprout explained some other things about the mandrake, the class ended.
They all returned their earmuffs and entered another area where they were able to remove their work robes and gloves and then send them to the laundry.
.
At the end of the morning classes, everyone still had a little free time before lunch, but they still headed to the large dining room to complete the homework that the potions teacher had left while they were waiting for lunch.
In the end, Snape still had everyone do homework rehearsal, being a task that he planned to put everyone to do the same.
Extimum remained at the Ravenclaw table as he did his homework along with the others.
Steve: "That was weird, what happened with the mandrakes."
Padma: "Yes, they looked scared."
Mitchell: "On the other hand, Extimum, Bloom was great, put that screaming mandrake to sleep with a little bit of fairy dust."
Steve: "Right, they could be very useful if you want to dedicate yourself to being an herbalist or if you just want to take care of your plants to make potions."
Extimum just nodded to their comments, he was still thinking a bit about what happened and what Bloom said.
Extimum: "well, I'm done." Finishing his words, he closed his book and put his scrolls in his bag and then got up from his seat.
Steve: "What? Hey, wait, where are you going? I still haven't copied your homework."
Extimum: "I never said I would let you copy it."
Extimum went to the Gryffindor table and sat next to Hermione.
Extimum: "I see that you are becoming famous Harry".
Harry: "Ugh, I don't want to talk about it."
One of the freshmen named Colin Creevey had come to ask for photos, being a huge fan of the Harry Potter and Draco story books of course he didn't miss the opportunity to cause more trouble.
Extimum had only listened a little while finishing his homework, but he still knew, on the other hand, Draco did not show that much hatred for Harry currently, however, it was more like a rivalry combined with a slight enmity, influences from his father and his own. pride which still made him so determined to annoy Harry and Ron and perhaps Hermione, when Extimum was not there.
Extimum: "oh well, I've been a bit busy in the morning, because they don't tell me about their great adventure in the flying car now."
Ron: "oh, now I remember, thanks Extimum, if you hadn't given that amulet to Harry, I think my father would have gotten into much more serious trouble."
Extimum: "your family is nice, besides, you are my friend, so, of course, I would give you a hand".
Ron: "If you smiled more while saying it, I could have been really moved by your words, but still thank you, I really appreciate it."
Hermione: "wait, but how did you know they would need the amulet?"
Extimum: "You think too much, Hermione, the amulet had a disillusioning charm that would only work once, he had given it to Harry to take with him. The amulet would detect if magic was done in the presence of non-wizards and hide them, given Harry's problems and what happened with the house elf, I gave it to him in case he had a similar situation ". Extimum had already thought of an excuse in case they asked, although there could be flaws in it, like that the magic of the car is not actually detected by the ministry, but he did not think they would discover it even if it was like that, also, his reasons were true Harry had received a message from the ministry as a warning about the magic that Dobby manipulated into thinking it was Harry.
They chatted for a while longer and then went together to the after-lunch class, which was Defense Against the Dark Arts, which would be given to all four houses at the same time for the sophomores.
.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts room was located in Room 3C on the third floor. The hall was large enough to hold all the second-year students from the four houses, with an iron chandelier hanging from the ceiling, as well as the skeleton of a dragon. At one end of the classroom was a magically activated projector. Various desks and tables can be found in the classroom, as well as some large window sets. Behind the professor's desk, there was a staircase that led to the current professor's personal office.

Entering the living room, Extimum took a seat next to Hermione in the front seats, with Harry and Ron at the table to his right, Trudor and Padma to his left, and Steve and Mitchell sitting behind him.
Once everyone was seated, the office door opened, from there, Lockhart walked gallantly out.
Lockhart: "Let me introduce your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I, Gilderoy Lockhart, Knight of the Order of Merlin, 3rd Class, Honorary Member of the League for Defense Against the Dark Forces, and a five-time winner of the Most Enchanting Smile Award from 'Witch's Heart magazine ', but I do not want to talk about that. It was not with my smile that I got rid of the banshee that heralded death !, haha ha ". Lokhart laughed at what he considered a joke.
Extimum kept his face indifferent listening to so much presumption and like everyone else, he found no reason to laugh, causing Lockhart to be greeted with silence throughout the room, making him feel uncomfortable.
Lockhart: "I see you bought all my books, fine. I think we will start today with an exam. " - All except Extimum pouted when they heard his words - "You don't have to worry, it's to verify how much you have learned from my books."
As Lockhart approached and began to hand out the exam sheets, Hermione showed much of her fanaticism and apparent infatuation on her face, however, she felt a sudden tingling in the place where she had been bitten yesterday and she came out of that state quickly recovering, she gave Extimum a quick glance, but he just had his usual serene face, giving her no clue about the sensation she felt.
Ron: "what is this? Aren't they just questions about your life?" Ron complained as he looked at the questions.
Lockhart: "You have thirty minutes. You can start ... now! ".
Taking the paper in his hands, Extimum gave him a quick glance, there was no palpable emotion on Extimum's face as he looked at the ridiculous questions.
Extimum: ' well. well. well.'.
1. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?
R /. pink, of course.
2. What is Gilderoy Lockhart's secret ambition?
R /. To die of pleasure at the hands of the incubi.
3. What is, in your opinion, Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?
R /. preserve his pathetic life after performing such great feats
4. What day is Gilderoy Lockhart's birthday, and what would be his ideal gift?
R /. 26 of January. His ideal gift would be to free himself from his dark destiny.
...
There were about 40 questions. Extimum answered the questions very calmly, some, he answered them correctly, because, in fact, he had taken the trouble to read those books, others, he simply answered them with what he wanted, also, it was only a test to check "basic knowledge".
After the 30 minutes were up, Lockhart collected all the sheets and spent some time going through them.
Lockhart: "Wow, wow. Very few of you remember that my favorite color is lilac. I say it in 'A Year with the Yeti'. And some of you have to re-read 'Walks with the werewolves' in greater detail. In chapter twelve I clearly state that my ideal birthday gift would be harmony between the magical and non-magical communities. Although I wouldn't be grossed out by a magnum bottle of aged Ogden whiskey either! "
Most of the men pouted at his blatant words.
Lockhart: "on the other hand, I must say that I am a bit disappointed with Miss Granger, who did not answer any of the questions, I hope you get used to reading a little more and… Mr. Shadowless, who… great imagination, it shows that He has read my books, but has mixed up certain inconsistencies. Luckily, Mr. Naipe does know my secret ambition, which is to rid the world of evil and to market my own range of hair care products. 10 points for Ravenclaw ".
Lockhart's words surprised more than one, if not all, both Hermione and Extimum were considered the two most diligent students of their respective houses, Extimum even had fame in the four houses, but one of them did not answer anything and the other he was wrong, which was quite surprising.
Lockhart: "Now, watch out! It is my mission to equip you with defenses against the most horrendous creatures of the magical world. It may be that in this same classroom you have to face the things that are most terrible. But know that nothing bad will happen to you while I'm here. All I ask is that you stay calm. " Lockhart said as he approached an object covered by a cloth.
Lockhart's narration had managed to put a certain atmosphere that silenced the murmurs among the students and caused caution and nervousness among the most cowardly.
Lockhart: "I have to ask you not to yell ... They could get mad." Lockhart said theatrically as he lifted the holster as if he was showing something truly amazing.
** ah hi oh **
Lockhart: "They are freshly caught Cornish pixies."
The pixies were electric blue and about eight inches tall, with sharp faces and voices so shrill and shrill it was like hearing a bunch of parakeets arguing. They seemed quite agitated, arguing with each other and banging on the cage.

** LOL**
Many scoffed at the content, as the creatures within did not cause any fear, releasing the pressure they had built up from Lockhart's narration.
Lockhart: "oh, how funny they are eh, they will see that they can be devilishly deceptive beings!". He yelled the last part as he opened the cage door letting the pixies out.
The pixies shot out like rockets in all directions. Two grabbed Neville by the ears and lifted him into the air, leaving him dangling from the chandelier. Some flew through the windows, filling those in the back row with broken glass. The rest were dedicated to destroying the class, destroying books and scrolls, posters and spilling inkwells, everything they found in their way was used to create chaos, they did not hurt anyone directly but their chaos and destruction brought a certain level of real threat, besides being very annoying.
The chaos was so great that most of the students had taken refuge under their tables to avoid his not entirely harmless antics.
Extimum remained in his calm seat watching all the chaos, next to Hermione and Bloom.
Bloom: 'what annoying creatures'. Bloom crossed her arms as she watched the crazy creatures.
Hermione was a bit anxious when she saw the creatures being suddenly released and since they were in the top ranks, many of them charged to try to disturb them, only to collide head-on with an invisible barrier that Extimum had quietly raised with his wand when he saw Lockhart approaching the cage.
Lockhart: "come on, come on, what are you waiting for? Catch them, they're just pixies." Seeing that no one seemed to be able to do anything, he rolled up his sleeves and waved his wand.
Lockhart: "Peskipiski Pestenomi!" However, either his spell didn't work or it was due to the fact that a pixie had snatched his wand from him almost immediately after he finished saying the spell and threw his wand out the window, but nothing happened.

Zeroz7 Does anyone know a good image for Extimum friends? If you know it please share it on Discord. Speaking of Discord, I opened a section in case anyone is interested in creating one of the 9 ancient families in history, currently they are not so relevant, but they will have their moment later.
Now for fans of Luna, calm down your horses or hippogriffs xd, Extimum if he met her in the first year, but it would not be immediately, it would be unnatural considering that they are not in the same year and if they have seen well, although the MC is somewhat flirtatious but, "yet" he does not proactively seek women, so meeting will be something eventual, on the other hand, as some had mentioned the Patil twins and I am seriously considering it (although it is likely that only one of them) , I'm giving Padma some development
