Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 29 Castle
Tierra's biological clock, ingrained over many years, caused her to wake up at six in the morning.

After lying in bed with my eyes open until 6:10 to clear my head, I quickly got up, washed up, fed Raven some birdseed and insects, and then opened the cage to let it roam freely.

"Ah—" Raven let out a soft cry and flew out of the dormitory window.

Tiera wasn't worried about Raven flying away or getting lost.

As her pet, Raven was the first magical creature to consume Merlin's Pill. Therefore, Raven had a dependence on Tiera similar to that of a mother bird.

In addition, ravens are always intelligent birds, so letting him fly out might allow him to figure out the structure of the castle sooner than Tiera.

Hogwarts was very different from the ones he had seen in the movies in his previous life; it was at least twice the size of the castle in the Harry Potter area of ​​Universal Studios that he had visited before.

The interior design style has also been slightly changed.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Tyella left her Gryffindor dorm and wandered around.

Of course, he wasn't going to the third-floor corridor; the real Philosopher's Stone was already in his hands.

Instead, they planned to familiarize themselves with Hogwarts in advance.

The strength of one's mental power seems to correspond to an enhanced ability to recover magical power.

Therefore, although Tiera was exhausted yesterday and her magic was almost depleted, she felt refreshed and full of energy after a good night's sleep.

The material dimension, the spiritual dimension, and the mental dimension are interconnected and influence each other.

This is clearly recorded in Merlin's notes.

The growth of the material dimension, that is, the normal growth and development of a young wizard, will drive the growth of the spiritual dimension, magic power.

A strong spiritual dimension can accelerate the growth and recovery of the spiritual dimension, but in the material dimension, it only manifests as enhanced hearing and sight, and improved responsiveness, which is far less significant than its impact on the spiritual dimension.

A typical young wizard is extremely vulnerable in all three dimensions.
But Tierra is clearly not among the typical young wizards.

He was originally an adult, and his soul strength was naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary young wizard. When he transmigrated, he also merged with a part of the remnant soul of Tiera in this world.

This makes Tiera's spiritual dimension stronger than that of an average adult wizard.

This also makes his spiritual dimension more stable than that of the average junior wizard.

The effect of this stability is that his magical recovery and growth rate are accelerated, his physical reaction speed is increased, his strength is slightly increased, and the amount of sleep he needs is greatly reduced.

In his past life, he couldn't get enough sleep even if he slept for ten hours a day, and he wouldn't get up until 10 o'clock every day.

Now, I'm full of energy at six in the morning, and I can even take a stroll around Hogwarts.

This powerful mental strength is also why Tiera can take the Herris potion at this stage without fearing that her mental dimension will be shattered by the potion, turning her into a madwoman or an idiot.

This was, after all, a potion that Merlin invented to resist the influence of the Outer Gods. He didn't consider what would happen if the young wizards who hadn't even started school drank it.

But since it's a medicine, dosage determines toxicity.

Tiera began experimenting with the drug at a concentration of 10 to the power of negative 7.

The drug concentration is increased gradually, one gradient at a time.

The initial concentration of the medicine that was most suitable for him at the moment was determined to be ten to the power of negative square.

That is, the concentration after being diluted one hundred times.

After the effects of this concentration of the drug weakened... that is, after drinking it no longer produced hallucinations, Tiera increased by 1%, 1% each time.

The final concentration is now set at 6%, enough to induce hallucinations, but not so intense as to cause shock.

First-grade classes don't start until 9 a.m.

Therefore, Tyrell was not in a hurry. After leaving the Gryffindor common room, she asked the oil painting on the wall for directions and went down to the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, it was too early, and the place was deserted. Tyella had no choice but to continue downwards, arriving at the basements of Hogwarts.

Tyella bypassed the Potions classroom, the Slytherin common room, and Snape's office, and went straight to the door of the Hogwarts kitchen.

The little elves there, who had just woken up, were busy preparing breakfast.

One of the elves, who seemed to be the leader, saw Tierra's arrival and rushed over, bowing and staring at the tips of Tierra's shoes, saying, "Oh, esteemed wizard master, what are your orders?"

"Um... I just came to see if there was anything to eat. I woke up a bit early and I'm a little hungry now."

"But Master Wizard, there is only bread and milk here right now. The delicious breakfast is not ready yet."

"Then bread and milk, thank you."

Tiera's "thank you" seemed to flatter the house-elf, who quickly grabbed a bag of freshly baked bread and a bottle of milk, humbly raising them above his head.

“You are a very, very good, very capable house-elf.” Tiera was a little embarrassed by his attitude, but then she remembered that these house-elves were the wizards’ complete slaves, and did not need wages or bonuses, so she could only praise him a few times.

Sure enough, the leading elf was overjoyed, as if he had eaten honey, and a hideous, humble but somewhat cute smile appeared on his wrinkled face.

Tierra quickly left the basement and headed towards the library on the fifth floor while eating.

Tiera, who lived and grew up in the Plain Red Banner, had never seen such a scene before, such naked and undisguised slavery.

It must be said that the Anglo-Saxons were indeed masters at keeping slaves, such as the house-elves in the wizarding world and the African blacks in the Muggle world.

Except for the restricted book section, the other areas of the Hogwarts library are not locked.

But because it was so early, Mrs. Pince, the librarian, had not yet appeared.

Tierra conscientiously stood outside and finished the last bit of milk before entering the library.

The library is huge; it seems to have been enchanted with a spell that extends its size beyond its capacity.

Tiera didn't rush to read the books. Instead, she spent more than an hour walking along the gaps between the bookshelves, lightly tapping the book covers with her fingers.

Book titles flooded his mind.

The blessing of the great race of Yish is for people, not for places.

So even if Tiera wasn't in the library, he could still understand the knowledge in those books.

Finally, Tiera pulled out a book called "The Principles of Modern Magic," sat down on the table, and opened it to read.

Mrs. Pince arrived at the library at eight o'clock.

Tierra put "The Principles of Modern Magic" back on the bookshelf, then took out "The Principles of Potions" and "An Introduction to Alchemy," which she had long admired, and handed them to Mrs. Pince for registration.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a young wizard come to the library to borrow books so early on their first day of school." Mrs. Pince returned the two books to Tyella after registering them.

“I was born a Muggle, so I couldn’t be exposed to magic from a young age like children from other wizarding families, nor could I be as smart as other Muggle children, so I had to work hard,” Tierra said.

“I remember now.” Mrs. Pince’s stern face softened considerably. Everyone likes a hardworking and ambitious child. “You were the one who was supposed to go to Ravenclaw at yesterday’s Sorting Ceremony. Why did you choose Gryffindor?”

Mrs. Pince herself was a Ravenclaw, so she was very puzzled by Thiera's choice.

“I want to be with my friends,” Tierra gave a reasonably good answer. “I met the Weasleys on the train here.”

Mrs. Pince nodded, accepting Tyella's explanation, but then immediately said sternly, "Stay away from those Weasley twins. They're just two unlucky guys who will be expelled from Hogwarts sooner or later."

"You're right," Tyella thought to herself. In the end, the Weasley twins were indeed fired.

"Alright, let's go to class. I remember your first class in Gryffindor should be Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class. Don't be late. Professor McGonagall hates people who are late. When she was young, she loved to turn late students into pocket watches. Unfortunately, after Dumbledore came to power, he issued a decree that Transfiguration was not allowed to be used to punish students." Mrs. Pince saw that Tyrell had nodded and wentssiped about the professors' old stories without caring at all.

My darlings, because I have to go back to the institute to do experiments this weekend, I might only be able to update once a day for the next two days. So, here's five updates tonight! Happy reading!
