I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 285 Selfishness and Utilitarianism

"The decoration arrangement extends the space infinitely?"

After seeing Hermione's attention being successfully diverted, Ian also breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"Yes, I just used the extension spell to expand the area by 60 acres. I haven't had time to arrange anything else. It's completely bare inside."

"Sixty acres?" Hermione whispered, seeming to be calculating something. After a moment, her eyes widened and she asked uncertainly: "As big as 60 standard football fields?"

"Yes! It's almost 40 football fields, 24 square meters." Ian finished, and then added: "I think this should be enough for us to live in."

Hermione was speechless, more than enough?You can start a farm.She and Ian plus mom and dad, four people living on 4 acres?

After a brief silence, Hermione still asked unwillingly: "Is the improved extension spell difficult?"

Why did Hermione ask this? He knew the reason very well. He just wanted to learn spells and help as many people as possible.

"I don't know how to answer you. Learning magic spells sometimes really requires talent."

One thing to say is that wizards are really a talent-reliant profession. Ian really can’t comment on this improved extension spell unique to the Black family. He can’t say that this magic is very simple. He can do it just by looking at it?
If you really answer like this, it’s almost time to put on the yoke of a disguised criminal.You know, a simple subway armor spell can stump 80% of adult wizards, not to mention the advanced spell extension spell, which has been improved to increase the difficulty.

"I can't say how difficult it is, but there is good news. Not only Hogwarts, but 11 magic schools around the world will incorporate this spell into the teaching curriculum. Although the order starts with sixth and seventh grade graduates, I believe It will spread down soon.”

Speaking of which, Ian also admires Dumbledore's execution ability. He obtained the curse at the Black Mansion three weeks ago and then continued to improve and optimize it.

In just ten days, as the chief magician of the Wizengamot, he submitted a proposal to the International Federation of Wizards, and then 11 magic schools included the improved extension spell in their curriculum.

"Is this going to be taught in school?" Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then she asked a little disappointedly: "It's better to hide the truth, right?"

"Yes! This matter must be concealed, but..." Ian nodded and said in a heavy tone: "I guess I can't hide it for too long!"

Perhaps feeling the change in Ian's tone, Hermione spoke with relief: "We just try our best. If we can't change, just try our best."

"You comforted me instead!" Ian sighed softly.

"To be honest, I don't have much sense of responsibility. I just want to have a stable environment so that I can enjoy life with my family...Hermione, in fact, everything I do has a utilitarian purpose. .”

After saying that, Ian also laughed at himself. The experience of two lives has long forgotten what righteousness is, and the struggle in the apocalypse at the beginning also smoothed his edges.

Now he just wants to keep his family's quiet life. His blood has gone cold, so there is no responsibility...

To be honest, Ian actually knows that everything he does has a utilitarian purpose.

The purpose of spoiling the story with Dumbledore from the beginning was for his own safety in Hogwarts.The purpose of rescuing Irene in the apocalypse was to relieve loneliness, and then supporting Norma was to increase the strength of the local will.

Even the research on the Squib Wand is to increase the wizard's voice and create a safe living environment for wizards in the future when they have a showdown with Muggles.

Thinking back carefully, everything he did had a personal purpose and he used it in every possible way. Nothing in everything was pure original intention.

"Perhaps, I am really the coldest and most selfish Ravenclaw ever..."

Hermione was keenly aware of the subtle changes, and she stretched out her hand to hold Ian tightly.

"No one has the right to ask you to be a saint. We are just ordinary people. It is enough not to harm others, isn't it?"

Hermione's hands were cold, but it was this slender, cold palm that gave him real warmth.

"Yeah, it's enough not to hurt others..." Ian murmured.He was also looking back on the past, one by one, and he really had never actively harmed anyone else.

Harry was relieved of his burden, Dumbledore was redeemed, and the people who should be sacrificed in Hogwarts were not sacrificed.In the last days, under the trajectory of fate, Irene gained a decent and peaceful life in her last days, and Norma and the other three were spared the trials and tests...

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll leave the 40 acres of land to you to take care of. Is that okay?"

Ian patted Hermione's head, and the latter also narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Leave it to me. I will write to Dad tomorrow and ask him to buy green plant seeds for me."

After hearing Hermione's plan, Ian said nothing more.In this matter, his main focus was to let her go and let her do whatever she wanted.

"Please stay tonight. At this time, your roommates are already asleep, right?"

Hermione looked up at the clock in her room. Well, 11:20, midnight.

"Do you want to stay..." She first touched her small satchel and explored it with her little hands until she found a small, regular square box. She held it tightly in her hand...

"Well! Then I won't go back and disturb them." Hermione whispered.

"I'll make your bed."

Ian stood up as he spoke and walked to the bed that had always been free. Although Ivy and Andre's beds were also empty,... he just didn't want Hermione to sleep on it.

"Make the bed?"

Before Hermione had time to wonder, she saw someone waving a wand, and the quilts, pillows, and bed curtains floated over one by one.

This scene immediately caused her to loosen her clenched palms, and the already wrinkled small box in her bag fell freely back to its original place.

Hermione's face showed a bit of melancholy and confusion...

He also had a clear view of Hermione's expression, and smiled silently, pretending not to notice.

He knows better than anyone what kind of personality his girlfriend has. To put it nicely, she is reserved and fiery. To put it another way, she is truly boring.

But he doesn't dislike girls having this kind of personality. How can they dress up and be cold when they are with the person they like?That's what is really sick.

But...at the age of 14, Ian really couldn't pass his level.

……

After washing, I lay on a brand new bed.

There were only two people in the dormitory, and Hermione didn't bother to put down the bed curtains and the like, which would create a subconscious barrier between her and Ian.

Hermione looked up at the blue ceiling. She was not sleepy at all at the moment. She was tossing and turning on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy.

a long time.

"Ian, are you asleep?"
