Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 48 Contradictions
Before she knew it, Tyra had been at Hogwarts for two months, and time quickly moved on to the eve of Halloween.

In addition to her weekly schoolwork and self-study, Tierra now also has to dedicate some time to helping the Gryffindor Quidditch team prepare potions—of course, the cost of the potion ingredients is covered by the House.

Many alumni, including Professor McGonagall, are willing to cover the cost.

In particular, Professor McGonagall already knew about Tierra's potion-making skills.

Because each apothecary's potions have significantly different effects, they must drink one or two bottles even during training. This not only improves the quality of their training but also helps them cope with the slight discomfort that occurs after the potion wears off.

After confirming that his newly concocted Tranquilizing Potion was safe using the potion identification charm recorded in "The Complete Guide to Potions," all the trainees at Hogwarts switched to the more potent Crimson Potion.

In addition, Tyella also had to study potions with Snape for an hour every Sunday evening, and face a lot of thought-provoking questions left by Snape after the class, as well as the Weasley twins who would occasionally come up with new ideas.

This made Tiera's school life much more fulfilling, and Tiera also felt that her potion-making, transmutation, and alchemy skills improved by leaps and bounds.

Unlike Harry, who was struggling to keep up with Quidditch and his studies, Tierra felt very excited.

It wasn't just because I learned new knowledge, but more so because of the effects of the Heris potion.

The Herris potion enhances Tiera's soul, or spiritual existence. After taking it for several months, Tiera can clearly feel herself becoming more energetic, reacting faster, and having a better memory.

But Tierra still maintains her routine of going to bed at 9:30 p.m., waking up at 6 a.m., and taking a one-hour nap at noon.

Even when he couldn't sleep at all and was full of energy, Tiera would lie in bed with her eyes closed, trying to completely relax her body, or directly consume the egg white of the Mist Serpent—a small magical creature that lives in seaside caves and has been widely raised by wizards. It feeds on small shrimp or fish, is non-toxic, lives in groups, and its brain is the main ingredient for brewing a hypnotic mist, hence its name.

Their snake eggs are rich in protein and also contain some sleep-inducing components. They are used to subdue young wizards whose magic has gone out of control. When eaten raw, they can quickly put them to sleep without any side effects, and are even beneficial to their health.

You can buy sixteen of them from the general store in Diagon Alley for just seven silver Sicotiera; it's very cheap.

In addition, Tyrell also had the house-elves at Hogwarts give him an extra glass of milk and a piece of rye bread for breakfast, an extra small portion of tuna salad for lunch, and an extra bowl of fruit for dinner every day.

This is to protect his physical existence, that is, his underage body, so he must be given enough sleep and nutrition.

Because Tiera's mental strength far exceeded the upper limit for his age, it also put some strain on his physical body.

Meanwhile, Tierra, who always insisted on balancing work and rest, decided to relax on Halloween.

Thanks to China's excellent traditional culture and the West's rich festival culture, Tierra can find some reasons to take a vacation every month.

For example, on the 22nd of last month, which was September 22nd, the 15th of the eighth lunar month, it happened to be a Sunday. Tyrell didn't go to the library all day. Instead, she stayed in her dormitory chatting and joking with Harry and Ron. At dinner, she ordered four pieces of chocolate cake that were so sweet they would make your teeth fall out.

That was the first time Tierra used Transfiguration outside of class. He turned the four tooth-splitting chocolates into four twisted mooncakes with the words "Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion" printed on them, which Tierra then distributed to Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

On October 1st at the beginning of this month, Tiera also did not go to the library. In order to celebrate her motherland in peace... This year should be her 42nd birthday, Tiera used her Transfiguration to conjure a small five-star red flag on the flesh-colored glove on her left hand.

Tierra uses this way to remember her homeland she can never return to and her parents she will never see again. Since it's Halloween, Tierra decides to give herself one more chance to indulge.

This morning, unusually, he didn't take his book to the restaurant after getting up early. Instead, he continued to lie idly in bed, staring at the ceiling.

There's a Halloween party tonight, Tierra thought to himself. He's been so busy for the past two weeks, he really needs a good rest.

Last night, Tiera had already put the five incendiary bombs he had made over the past two weeks, combining transmutation and rudimentary alchemy, into the pocket of his wizard's robe.

After all... there's still a tough battle to fight later.

If all goes well, Professor Quirrell will release the giant guarding the Philosopher's Stone during tonight's Halloween party.

In the past two weeks, ever since Harry received the Nimbus 2000, the conflict between them and Hermione has become increasingly irreconcilable.

Hermione now hardly speaks to Harry and Ron anymore, except for the occasional brief "excuse me" or "please let me pass" when they bump into each other in the classroom or common room.

She ignored Tyella as well. Whenever they met in the library, Hermione would either bury herself in the book in front of her that she couldn't fully understand, or pretend not to see Tyella. Even if Tyella greeted her politely, she would suddenly run away as if she had something urgent to do.

This situation not only made Harry a little sad, but also left Tyella and Ronbahn with no choice but to get rid of Hermione.

Although Tyella is an adult, she doesn't really like Hermione, a witch who always acts like a little adult.

Ron, needless to say, wished he would never see her again in his life.

However, it backfired.

Harry and Ron were late for today's Charms class because they were excited about their first Halloween here, so they were still discussing it until Tyella fell asleep.

Therefore, when Harry and Ron arrived at the Charms classroom, Ron had to sit at the same table as Hermione, except for the seat that Tyra had reserved for Harry.

Both Ron and Hermione looked quite annoyed.

Harry felt very fortunate to have a friend like Tyella, who not only tutored him but also saved him a good seat.

Harry was particularly invigorated when Professor Flitwick told the young wizards present that they would be learning the Levitation Charm today.

Since Tyrell used the spell in her first flying lesson a few weeks ago, Harry has been pestering her to teach him.

Five days earlier, Harry had already been able to levitate a roll of parchment briefly in mid-air.
