Chapter 38 Harmony between the piano and the harp
In the Ravenclaw lounge at night.
Ash took a book from the bookshelf and sat on the sofa by the window to preview it carefully.
In fact, this is also the choice of most Ravenclaw students.
For students from other colleges, the novelty of exploring the castle is obviously more attractive to them than studying.
Of course, it is not ruled out that a few students like Hermione who are assigned to the wrong house will choose to go to the library.
Although Ravenclaw students love studying, they prefer the warm common room to the deserted library. Because the Ravenclaw common room itself is a small library, it may not have as many types of books as the library, but it is far ahead in terms of atmosphere.
"Ash, what are you looking at?"
The girl with brown curly hair flowing naturally like a waterfall walked up to Ash and asked curiously.
The girl put her hands on her knees, bent down slightly, and put her head in front of Ash.
Ash raised his head. The girl's hanging hair slightly blocked his sight, and a faint scent of jasmine lingered on the tip of his nose.
He did not answer directly, but closed the book and showed the cover to the girl:
Advanced Transfiguration Guide.
Penello poked Ash's arm with his white fingers and said angrily:
"You're only in the first grade!"
She can only learn "Intermediate Transfiguration" in fifth grade this year. Ash dared to read Advanced Transfiguration in first grade, so what will he read in second grade?
Penello couldn't even think about it!
Ash said with a serious expression:
"I just want to preview it in advance."
Penelo sat next to Ash, and she persuaded in a gentle tone:
"Previewing in advance is a good thing, but six years in advance is too early, right? Don't be too ambitious!"
"I think so. Aiming too high usually results in a bad fall."
Ash did not try to explain, but nodded in agreement, and then asked:
"But if I don't understand something, can I ask my senior sister?"
"anytime."
Penello blurted out, but as soon as he finished speaking, his face blushed shyly, and he hurriedly added:
"But I'm not always available."
Ash asked with a smile:
"Senior, are you free now?"
Penello looked at the young man's innocent smile and felt that his heart was about to melt. He couldn't bear to refuse and said softly:
"Of course, no matter what the question is, senior sister can answer you~"
"But not here."
The senior sister gently bit Ash's ear and murmured:
"There are so many people here, we can go to a quieter place."
Penelo gently grabbed Ash's hand and said softly:
"follow me."
Penelo deliberately led Ash to the stairs of the girls' dormitory, just like before. The two pieces of armor that were supposed to prevent the boys from approaching did not move at all, as if the magic had failed.
However, just now, she saw with her own eyes another boy walking towards the stairs of the girls' dormitory because he was too engrossed in reading a book while walking. As soon as he showed signs of approaching, the halberd in the knight's hand quickly fell, stopping him. the way to go.
This proves that the magic didn't fail, it just didn't work on Ash.
"For what reason?"
Penello suddenly felt a strong curiosity and eager to know the correct answer.
So, she took Ash to her room - the prefects' dormitory upstairs.
Unlike the four-person dormitories for other students, the prefects' dormitory has three-person dormitories. There is one room for boys and one room for girls, and the prefects of the three grades live together.
Not only to facilitate communication between them, but also to better help other students solve problems.
Penello sat by the bed, feeling a little nervous because this was the first time she had brought a boy to her room.
In order to cover up her inner shyness, she gently pulled up a strand of bangs in front of her forehead, pretending to be calm and asked:
"Well, is there anything Ashqin wants to know about the transformation technique?"
Ash sat down next to her very naturally. He pondered for two seconds before coming up with an excuse and asked:
"Actually, I've always been curious. Transfiguration is obviously a kind of magic, so why can it be listed as a separate subject? Is this any different from other magic spells?"
Penello chuckled and said:
"Of course there is a difference."
"According to convention, the first spell that Professor Flitwick teaches you should be the recovery spell. How many times did Ash try it before he succeeded? Senior sister, when I entered school, I only tried it once and successfully used the recovery spell. Curse~!”
"As for the shapeshifter, you should have realized it, right? Even if you try many times, it still doesn't work. This is the difference between the two."
"Me too." Ash said seriously.
Penello praised:
"Well, that's awesome~! Most wizards can't learn it at first."
Penello was curling a strand of hair with her fingers, then loosening it after a while, then curling it up again, and so on.
She was also visibly distracted when she answered the question, not realizing what Ash was referring to once.
She went on to explain:
"Professor McGonagall believes that Transfiguration is more rigorous and scientific than other disciplines. This is not unfounded. For example, Transfiguration is different from other spells in that it has many branches, including cross-species transfiguration and human body transfiguration. …”
Penelope gently and carefully explained the difference between the two to Ash, and even personally demonstrated the practical application of transformation for Ash, until she found that Ash's attention was not on it at all, he was watching in rapt attention. she.
The corners of Penello's mouth raised slightly, but he deliberately kept a straight face:
"Ash, what are you looking at?"
"Look senior..." Ash replied honestly.
Penello stroked his forehead, pretending to be dissatisfied and complained:
"Really, it's study time now, don't let your mind wander!"
The girl's expression was a little dissatisfied, but her eyes were full of pride - did you see that this is the charm of a big sister, something that little girls like Qiu Zhang can't compare to!
"Sorry, senior." Ash bravely admitted his mistake and apologized to her straightforwardly.
Of course, an apology is an apology, whether to change it or not is another matter.
Penello snorted softly, as if to express dissatisfaction, but in fact he was in a very happy mood.
After this incident, she already had full evidence that Ash was a physically and mentally sound male - she could confirm this 100%.
What does this mean?
It shows that even an innocent boy like Ash can still show his flaws in front of a charming big sister!
It shows that cuteness is not worth mentioning in front of sexy!
Qiu Zhang, what are you fighting with me for?
This made Penello feel much better instantly, although it still didn't explain why the knight didn't stop Ash.
But Penello wasn't too worried. After all, Ash wouldn't sneak into the women's dormitory in the middle of the night, right?
Penelo was thinking, and suddenly heard Ash call her:
"Senior."
"Eh?"
The girl turned her head in confusion, and immediately felt a slightly moist and sweet feeling at the corner of her mouth.
"Um?!"
Penello's eyes widened immediately, obviously not believing that Ash would be so bold.
