I swung my greatsword at Hogwarts

Chapter 23 The New Term and Teaching



1 month 1 day.

The new semester is here.

John felt nothing.

Hermione came to the school yesterday, disappointed that Harry and the others did not find Nico Flamel.

"John, are you watching Alchemy?"

library.

John was holding "Introduction to Alchemy and Enlightenment" to watch, and Hermione temporarily put down to look for Nicole Flamel when she saw this scene.

She checked John's book list, besides alchemy, there were runes.

Hogwarts has ancient runes, but it's an elective in third year.

Hermione, who saw John as the target of her pursuit, was not to be outdone when she saw it, and took back a bunch of books about runes that day.

But unfortunately, when we met the next day, Hermione had two big dark circles on her face, like a sleepy lion.

Ancient runes were still too difficult for first-year wizards, which Hermione had to admit.

"I guarantee I've seen the name, I just can't remember it."

Since being persuaded by Dumbledore to go back and stop going to the Mirror of Erised, Harry often dreamed that his parents were killed by Voldemort.

This allowed him to rediscover his focus on Nicole Flamel.

Although Harry was convinced that he had seen the name somewhere, Hermione and the others had almost given up the possibility of finding Nico Flamel in the library.

No longer continue the previous sleepless nights and forget food, instead use the break time to check.

"I remember seeing it." Harry began to wonder if he had seen it, too.

They got together to discuss, and John took out "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" not far away, and read alchemy and runes alternately, which would make him less tired.

"Wick, what do you see this for? Do you want to learn how to sell items like the wizard in Knockturn Alley?"

Since Malfoy watched the Quidditch match with John, he no longer has an attitude of ignoring John if he can't beat him.

Seeing that John was interested in alchemy, he subconsciously thought that John would sell props to make money like the Weasley twins.

"Just make something small, alchemy is a complex knowledge, do you know the sword of Gryffindor?"

Closing the book in his hand, John's eyes were distracted.

Malfoy wondered, "What is that?"

"It is said that Gryffindor invited goblins to forge the silver sword. Only real Gryffindors can find it, but it doesn't matter. The Sorting Hat is also a product of alchemy."

After John worked hard and even slackened his training and studied hard, he finally lit up his rune skills.

This also means that he has mastered the basics of runes, and now he only needs to turn on the alchemy to perform fairy casting.

However, this process was a bit difficult. The snail butts obtained from Hagrid were all used up, and they still didn't light up.

Malfoy nodded half-understanding. As a member of the Malfoy family, Malfoy has no shortage of magic props.

It's just that John's Muggle family is really difficult, and he needs to refine things by himself.

There is an astronomy class in the evening.

Everyone gathered in the Astronomy Tower, and Professor Aurora Sinista told them about the location of Sagittarius.

After a day of class, John met Quirrell with an extra note in his hand.

"Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom."

After opening the note, there is only one location.

John really didn't want to go there, but he was afraid that Quirrell would be suspicious, so he had to give up his plan to study alchemy.

...

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Conscious that this good student has gradually stepped into the dark, Quirrell began to remove the disguise.

Originally, Quirrell was a wizard with a good level. If it weren't for accepting Voldemort, he wouldn't have to pretend to be a low-level professor.

"Very well John Wick, it seems that you have chosen the right path."

Quirrell was very satisfied to see John swimming over at night.

Sure enough, knowledge is the greatest forbidden fruit. After tasting the power brought by black magic, even the good student John Wick fell.

"Professor Quirrell."

After John came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, he felt that someone was pricking his head with a needle. It was Legilimency, trying to spy on the thoughts of his brain.

He decisively used the Occlumency Technique, and after the new semester started, John brushed the Occlumency Technique to level 2, but it was still not enough.

He added random points to Occlumency, upgrading it to level 3.

Level 3 is already a master of Occlumency, and it is still possible to deal with a crippled Voldemort's wandering spirit.

With an excited look on his face, John is like a fanatic who has been conquered by knowledge.

Voldemort, who used Legilimency to enter John's brain, was very satisfied, and now John only needs a word from himself to become the most loyal Death Eater.

To train an undercover agent for Hogwarts, Voldemort spared no expense in knowledge.

Through Quirrell, he taught John a lot.

He is a powerful wizard himself, and the knowledge he has learned is even more complicated.

Under his teaching, many places that John didn't understand suddenly became clear.

In the days that followed, John attended classes during the day and went to the classroom to study at night.

This allowed his level to improve rapidly, and he successfully controlled Fierce Fire.

[Magic Power: Level 3 (30/1500)]

【魔咒:阿拉霍洞开(3级)、漂浮咒(4级)、变形咒(2级)、幻身咒(3级)、荧光闪烁(2级)、火焰熊熊(3级)、粉身碎骨(3级)、厉火(2级)、盔甲护身(2级)……】

【技能:短武器精通(7级)、大剑精通(4级)、热武器精通(1级)、如尼文精通(1级)、炼金术精通(1级)】

[Blessings: physical fitness, quick attack, precision, academic master, pilot, long-distance running, sword dance, troll killer, night devil]

The increase in magic power is not much, but the understanding of magic spells has increased a lot.

One of the biggest good news is that alchemy has also been lit.

Although it is still level 1, John has been able to successfully refine a simple magic item.

Items with voluntary will, like the sorting hat and the sword of Gryffindor, probably need to reach level 7 to make them possible.

...

Harry was sent to the devil by Wood to train him, even in snowy and rainy days.

He is bent on beating Slytherin to win the House Cup Championship, so that their credits can catch up with Slytherin.

And Harry has high hopes from him, which doubles Harry's pressure.

Even Hermione and Ron couldn't stand it anymore, and they told Harry not to participate in the competition in the common room.

Ron suggested that he could say he was sick, but Hermione insisted that he say he had a broken leg.

This made Harry very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Neville jumped and fell into the common room from the outside.

Neville's legs were tightly pressed together, which was under the Leg Locking Charm.

Without thinking about it, he knew that Malfoy must have done it. Ron was very angry, and immediately wanted to settle the score with Malfoy.

But Neville stopped him, he didn't want to cause trouble for Harry and others.

Hermione undid Neville's leg-locking spell, and Harry wanted to take out the chocolate frog to comfort Neville, but found a wizard card in his pocket.

"what is this?"

Harry handed Neville another box containing chocolate frogs, and was taken aback when he saw the wizard card in his hand.

"This is the one that John gave you, and what did John say at the time." Ron remembered the origin of this card.

It was a Wizard Dumbledore card, and Harry turned it over.

Just when he thought it was just that John didn't want it, his eyes fixed on the small words on the card.

"Ron, Hermione, look!"

Harry gasped, his voice trembling slightly.

Ron and Hermione leaned over to take a look, and were hit by the sudden surprise.

"Excellent in alchemy with partner Nicole Flamel!"

"I knew it, I really saw this name before!"

Harry was very excited, a crucial step in the progress that had been paused for a long time finally appeared.

The three little ones were extremely excited, and Hermione even jumped up directly.

Suddenly, Hermione thought of something.

Looking at the alchemy on it, she said: "No wonder, no wonder John read books on alchemy, so he already knew it!"

After that, Hermione rushed upstairs and took out a huge old book from the girls' dormitory.

Flipping through old books, they finally found information on Nicole Flamel.

And learned about the Philosopher's Stone.
