Hogwarts, where the stars shine

This was a moment of social death that was not considered social death. Although it was not embarrassing, the looks from the crowd still made Mesa a little uncomfortable.

Hagrid's eyes were hot, and his excitement was palpable, as if he had seen his beloved fire dragon; Professor McGonagall's stern eyes were reproachful, but also hid a trace of concern; Professor Flitwick was slightly hesitant, as if There is something I don’t know whether to say or not.

The students present were not sure why. They either didn't know about this challenge, or they had heard about it, but they didn't know how bad Gamp's old social wine was.

There was no blame in Dumbledore's blue eyes. It was completely understandable that he would do extraordinary things.What he wanted to know more was how Mesa persisted.

Just push yourself once and find your limit?

Perseverance, perseverance, and perseverance are easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.Dumbledore became more interested in the young man in front of him. This was a good seedling.

Time is precious, especially for an elderly person who wears multiple hats.

Dumbledore is truly a busy man. Not only does he have to manage this prestigious school, he also has to attend various meetings of organizations such as the International Federation of Wizards from time to time.

Therefore, even if Mesa registered in the principal's office at the beginning of the school year, and even if he showed talents far beyond ordinary people, Dumbledore only paid a little attention to him.

Neither will I always pay attention to his growth, nor will I do everything myself and teach him personally.

The world has never lacked geniuses. What it lacks is people who can realize their talents. What it lacks is people who happen to need it.

Mesa has neither a pair of green eyes nor a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead. At this time, he is not worthy of Dumbledore's guidance.

To give an inappropriate example, you can't ask Einstein to put down everything in his hands and devote himself wholeheartedly to teaching a junior high school student who is new to physics!

To match the key, three gold galleons match one, ten gold galleons match three. Does Mesa match, and how many?

It was an honor for the student Mesa Black that Dumbledore could spare his busy schedule to pay attention and take the time to give Professor Torsnap a word.

Despite some hiccups along the way, the Christmas feast was still in full swing, with delicious turkey followed by fiery Christmas pudding.

As if nothing had happened, Steele Martin sat back down next to Hagrid and drank from his glass with the gamekeeper.Wine and pudding, one glass after another.

As for his words, the students didn't take them too seriously and forgot about them.

On the contrary, it will stay in Dumbledore's heart for a while longer, making the headmaster pay more attention to Mesa Black.

The atmosphere of the Christmas banquet gradually reached a climax. Everyone became more and more excited as they chatted, and there were more and more topics to talk about.Under the influence of this atmosphere, Mesa was also inspired to tell a joke.

The joke was a bit cold, but everyone still laughed cooperatively and did not cool down the excitement at the dinner table.

At the end of the game, every student had gained a lot, holding a lot of things blown out of the colorful firecrackers in their arms, as well as carefully selected gifts under the Christmas tree.

After spending an idle afternoon and eating tea consisting of turkey sandwiches, baked apple crumble, and jam pudding, Hogwarts fell into a sweet dreamland.

The bed curtains were lowered and Mesa lay on the bed with a belly full of turkey and cake.

After having enough food and wine, he should have had a good night's sleep, but he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

In the darkness and silence, Mesa repeatedly thought about Steele Martin's performance at the banquet, recalling his every move, every word, and every look in his eyes over and over again.

"Mesa, it's thanks to you that I made the decision to go back to school and have the opportunity to accomplish what I want to do."

Is this the unintentional remark of a drunken Steele Martin, or is it the truth spoken by a drunken man?

It wasn't that Mesa was experiencing persecution paranoia, but that he really felt that Steele Martin's performance today was a little strange.What does this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor want to accomplish?

The more I think about it carefully, the more irritable I feel and the less sleepy I feel.

Mesa simply got out of bed, put on her robe and walked out of the dormitory to the common room.

Lighting the flame with her wand, Mesa sat in an armchair by the fireplace, looking out the window with dull eyes.In the cold winter, fewer fish pass by the dungeon window.

After being in a daze for an unknown amount of time, Mesa left the comfortable armchair.But instead of returning to his dormitory to rest, he walked through the common room and over the stone wall.

In the corridor at night, the fire was flickering, and the cold wind kept attacking Mesa's slightly thin body.

As the moonlight entered the house, I set off happily. This was Mesa's first night tour of Hogwarts. Unfortunately, the school did not have Chengtian Cathedral, and Mesa didn't know any Huai Min Zhang.

Wrapping up her coat, Mesa tiptoed along the long corridor.

Who knows whether Filch will take his beloved Lady Norris on a night out on Christmas night.

Even if he leaves a good impression on Filch, if he catches him wandering at night, Mesa will not end well.

I have walked the path under my feet hundreds of times, and Mesa can touch the school library with my eyes closed.Yes, Mesa went to the castle at night for the first time in her life, not to explore the secrets of the castle, but to go to the library!

I really don’t know whether to say that Mesa loves learning too much, or that he is a complete nerd.

It was dark in the library late at night, and the rows of towering bookshelves were eerie.Using the moonlight outside the window and the light from the tip of the wand, Mesa walked quickly between the bookshelves.

Without Mrs. Pince's obstruction, Mesa finally got what she wanted.

The restricted book area is at the back of the library, with only a rope blocking it.Mesa stepped over the rope lightly and stood in the forbidden book area. Suddenly he felt stupid.

If I had known that it was so easy to walk around the castle at night and sneak into the forbidden book area, why would I have practiced teaching autographs?It's so unnecessary, why not just sneak over here every night?

He raised his wand and looked at the title of the book. Mesa's heart was beating with excitement.

The unavailable is always in a commotion, and the favored have no fear.

Although the books in the restricted area were obscure and difficult to understand, Mesa was not interested in the popular stuff outside at all. All he could see were these peeling, faded gilded letters.

Moving forward slowly, Mesa's fingers ran across ancient books.

Some books have no titles at all, and some books are stained with dark blood stains. Sometimes there are whispers, tempting Mesa to uncover the dusty magic.

In the end, Mesa resisted the demonic temptation and pulled only two books from the shelf.A copy of Miranda Gorshak's "The Book of Spells" and a copy of Godlot's "The Most Poisonous Magic".

Compared with the "Standard Spells" series by the same author, "The Book of Spells" is an advanced version. It has been translated into 72 languages ​​and has been selected as a teaching material by several magic schools.

Mesa had the opportunity to read this book when he lived in the Leaky Cauldron. In his opinion, "The Book of Spells" should not be stored in the restricted area.

Out of curiosity, Mesa opened the old book. The yellowed paper recorded familiar spells without much change.But after flipping through it, Mesa finally understood why the "Book of Spells" was stored in the restricted book area.

In addition to the original content of this book, the corners of the pages also record the essays of students over the years, as well as some spells that are not suitable for lower grade students to study.

Magic spells such as the Head Bubble Curse and the Illusion Body Curse can only be learned in the sixth or seventh grade.It's just learning. How much you can master depends on your personal qualifications.

Just like the Phantom Body Curse.This spell causes the disguised person or object to become like a chameleon, with colors and textures consistent with the surrounding environment.

But with careful observation and identification, chameleons can still be found, and the effectiveness of the spell will weaken over time.

But if the caster is powerful, the Illusion Curse can achieve complete invisibility.A must-have for night outings and a must-have for those who are in the dark.

After carefully jotting down a few spells he didn't know, Mesa put the "Book of Spells" back on the bookshelf, and then opened another "Poisonous Magic".

As the name of the book suggests, the spells in this book are indeed quite poisonous.
