days at Hogwarts

Chapter 41 The day of the full moon

The Weasley brothers who knew the inside story, Simon Naway and others did not reveal anything about Loren.

Dumbledore did not tell the Ministry of Magic the specific process of capturing Pettigrew Peter, and the Ministry did not ask in detail.

Or something that Dumbledore didn't want to say, no one dared to ask.Fuji gained some fame for nothing, and when he was happy, he didn't find fault.

It was even more impossible for the Daily Prophet to know the inside story, and the others neatly remained silent under Dumbledore's intervention.

Dumbledore did not discuss this matter with Loren, but the two reached a tacit agreement.Dumbledore did it for some purpose of protecting the students, and Loren felt that life was good now and didn't want to be exposed to the public eye.

In the afternoon, Loren didn't drag Hermione to practice duels. Frequent practice may trigger the talent for correcting deviations, but this is hard work.After the practice, it is the right way to sum up and ask Flamel for more theoretical knowledge about the Iron Armor Curse at night.

Loren wrote and drew on the paper, listed the spells one by one, classified them, selected the applicable ones, and tried to build his own combat system.

The last spell to achieve victory is not important, whether it is disarming spell, stun spell, crushing spell or even death spell, as long as it can hit the enemy, it can disarm him of his combat ability.

The defense, evasion, and control before that are the key to the outcome.Among the currently available spells, Loren builds a combat system based on three types of spells: defense, control, and attack.

The defensive spells are mainly the iron armor spell [armor body protection] and the stop spell [curse standing stop].

The control spells include the obstacle spell [heavy obstacles], the imprisoning spell [quick imprison], and the binding spell [all petrification].

The attacking spells are the cutting spell [split], the disarming spell [destroy your weapon], and the stun spell [fainted].

Having mastered the above mantras, all that remains is to develop combat awareness in the virtual duel room.

There is no static system, and Loren will continue to enrich and improve this system as he grows.New spells that will be learned later, such as Apparition, Limefire, Shenfeng Wuying, etc. will also be added to it.

A real master of magic, like Dumbledore and Grindelwald, will release the most suitable spell in the shortest time, and is good at using the transformation spell to cause difficult problems for the opponent.It's just that Loren is far from them.

Except for the Iron Armor Curse, Loren can practice other spells by himself, and he can fully master them in about two months.

……

"Flamel, is my plan feasible?" Loren told Flamel about his thoughts.

Flamel pondered for a moment: "As a student, it's completely enough, and we have to start from the basics."

Steps, breathing, and rhythm are more important factors in battle, but Flamel didn't mention it, and Loren will naturally understand when he can use the duel room.

Loren inquired about more detailed knowledge about the Iron Armor Curse, and compared the contents of the memory and correction during the day, he concluded a more perfect method of using it.

……

Sunday, the day of the full moon.

Loren has been bored since waking up, unable to cheer up.Loren had never been so worried about Bates since he learned that he was a werewolf.

In the past, he lived next to Bates, knowing that he would go up the mountain to lock himself up on the night of the full moon, and Loren was unable to do anything for Bates, but when he was by his side, he always had to feel at ease.

Now that the two places are separated, it seems that there is more than just distance between them. When the moon is about to be full, Loren's heart can't be at ease.

"Are you all right?" Ron noticed that Loren was eating slowly, which was really offensive to Loren.

Loren forced a smile: "It's okay."

Ron felt that it was a big deal. Loren always had the most energy when eating. He could eat a whole steak for breakfast yesterday.

Ron was about to say something more, but Hermione grabbed him and shook her head at him.

After dinner, Harry took Ron to the stadium to play.

Hermione sat next to Loren and looked at Loren's face.

"Come with me!" She pulled Loren out of the courtyard, to another staircase, and up the escalator.

Below the Hogwarts clock tower clock, there is a hollow attic, from here you can see the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and most of the castle's pavilions.

Hermione pulled Loren to sit down and put her feet outside the attic.The wind passed through the attic from one side to the other, and there was still some moist fog in the morning, and the orange-red morning sun cast soft light over it.

"I sometimes come here to relax, and a wider view will make me feel better." Hermione began to speak.

Loren guessed that it was probably because Hermione didn't get along well with her roommates before.

"Actually, I already knew it!"

Loren was a little confused, what do you know?
"In the beginning, at Lihen Bookstore, there were many books about magical creatures, elves, trolls, vampires—you didn't even read them, and took the book about werewolves right away."

Guigui, she is really Miss Know-It-All, and she has noticed it all.

"I also read some werewolf materials. Werewolves will transform when the moon is full and lose their minds. This is a painful process." Hermione's voice was a little low.

Thinking of Grandpa Bates' old face, Loren didn't speak.

"And you asked me to practice spells, these are all signs."

Loren wondered, is my practice of spells related to Grandpa Bates being a werewolf?

"It's the full moon tonight, you must be suffering right now." Hermione began to cry.

Something's not quite right.

"Loren, let's go find the professor in a while!" Hermione whimpered, she felt very sad that the little friend was a werewolf.

Loren realized that Hermione was treating him as a werewolf. Looking at the girl who was about to cry louder and louder, she quickly explained, "You're thinking too much! I'm not a werewolf!"

"Hmph—" Hermione hiccupped, and stopped wiping her eyes, "Huh?"

Loren began to explain that Grandpa Bates was the werewolf, and he had a bad appetite because he was worried about Grandpa Bates.

Hermione felt as if her face was on fire.This is really embarrassing, self-righteously guessing that someone is a werewolf, and bringing him here to say something inexplicable.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I guessed wildly." Hermione struggled to stand up in a panic, trying to leave the death scene.

"No, I'm glad to have a friend like you." Loren held her down, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

Loren was amazed at Hermione's careful observation and keen scrutiny at first.Although the result is wrong, someone is paying attention to your behavior and worrying about the difficulties you may encounter. This is a warming thing in itself.

Reassuring Hermione, the two began to chat about trivial matters, about Hermione and her roommate, about the quarrel between Filch and Peeves, about the tree full of small orange fruits over there...
