Hogwarts: I'm the only cultivator here!

“Mr. Filch, are you... alright? Actually, it's normal to be nervous when casting magic for the first time, so mistakes are quite common. I didn't succeed the first time I cast magic either, so don't worry, just try a few more times.”

As he spoke, the Hufflepuff student quickly picked up the wand that had been knocked away and handed it back to Filch, saying in a low voice, "Why don't you try it on me again? This time I won't fight back, and I'm sure you'll succeed this time."

Filch: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Filch, who had slowly come to his senses, was stunned by the Hufflepuff student in front of him. Feeling the concern in the student's words, Filch thought for the first time that these little guys who came out at night were actually quite cute. So he made a decision that went against his ancestors... cough, against his principles.

He... let the Hufflepuff student go and even went into the kitchen to get him some food. Only after the student had finished eating and was completely satisfied did he finally take the student down.

Just kidding. Although Filch was touched by the student's concern, it was impossible for him to pretend he didn't see it and let him go. At most, he could say a few nice words to the dean when he handed him over to him and get him exempted from punishment, but it was absolutely impossible for him to let the person he caught go!

Chapter 219 Snowman Version of Hide and Seek

When the first badger cub was caught, it proved that there must be other badger cubs nearby. So, unsurprisingly, Filch found a second victim at the kitchen door. But there's a saying that you can do it once or twice, but not three times. The same thing happened too many times. Anyone who isn't stupid would know that something was wrong.

Hufflepuff students love good food, but they aren't fools who would do anything for it. After discovering that several classmates had mysteriously disappeared, they concluded that there must be something wrong with the kitchen, so they decided to head home and avoid it altogether.

Of course, it was impossible for them to give up enjoying delicious food, so they came up with another idea: to find the ingredients themselves and cook it, since there were plenty of things to eat around Hogwarts.

In the past, they foolishly believed that only food from the kitchen was edible, and that food from other places, no matter how tempting it looked, was inedible.

But after Ye Feng arrived, he showed them with vivid examples that as long as you dare to imagine, there are ingredients everywhere, including but not limited to some landscape plants on campus.

Therefore, after realizing something was wrong, they went outside to find ingredients and cook something for themselves. Filch, who was waiting patiently, found that he waited for more than half an hour but there wasn't a single soul in sight.

"That can't be right. Those gluttonous Hufflepuffs can't possibly not come. There are plenty of delicious desserts tonight. They can't possibly resist such tempting treats."

Deeply puzzled, Filch had no choice but to move out and check the situation. He then saw two furtive figures emerge from Hufflepuff's lounge and quickly run away.

Filch: ...

"Not coming? Fine, then don't come. We've caught three enough. Now it's time to go find the bad boys from other academies." When Filch said this, his tone no longer carried the anger and hatred of before, but instead carried a hint of ease.

Perhaps it was shedding the identity of 'Squib' that changed his mindset, or perhaps it was the care from the previous Hufflepuff student that changed him, or perhaps it was both.

In short, Filch is no longer the gloomy, murderous 'bad guy' you can tell at a glance is no good. He should now be considered a... bad guy with a little bit of principle.

...

Using the snowman as cover to ambush and catch students who come out for a night stroll is indeed a sure thing; you can't escape even if you want to, because by the time you realize it, you're usually already face to face with Filch.

However, there are also many clever people who simply wear hats to cover their real faces, so that they won't be recognized at a glance. As long as they are not caught on the spot, even if Dumbledore comes, he won't say anything.

Therefore, the news that Filch disguised himself as a snowman to capture students who were out at night quickly spread, and the person who spread this news was a student surnamed Luo who wore a hoodie and did not want to reveal his name.

What? You're saying Hogwarts doesn't have any students with the last name, Luo? Go back and look, isn't there always a student named Luo something? (o?o)

And then...

"Holy crap! Filch! Run!"

"You bad boys, don't even think about escaping from me!"

"Collapse!"

"Holy crap! Filch, you've violated school rules by openly using magic to attack students on school grounds!"

Filch: "Huh? What did you say? Speak louder, I didn't hear you!"

"You're a real dog! Disarm me!"

"I'll dodge!"

"Hehe, missed. I won't be easily hit a second time by the same spell..."

"Super Fluorescent Flashing!"

"Ah! My eyes!"

A few seconds later…

"Hiss~ These little brats are really fast. They disappeared in the blink of an eye. That's hard to believe."

The 'snowmen' on both sides of the walkway: ...

About ten seconds after walking past those snowmen…

Filch: "Wait, something's not right. I vaguely remember there was only one snowman at that spot, but there seemed to be several just now. I need to go back and check."

Then, a few seconds later, he ran back to Filch, who had just passed by the snowmen, and stared into deep thought as he looked at the empty walkway.

Some things aren't exclusive to you; others can use them too. And that night, without Mrs. Lorris, Filch turned the chase into a game of hide-and-seek with the students who were out at night.

Ye Feng only learned of this news after waking up the next day, because he usually enters a 'pseudo-hibernation' after winter begins, which means he doesn't like to move around much or cause trouble, and he will absolutely not go out for a night stroll unless there is something to do.

When Ye Feng learned about this, he was also a little surprised, because he did not expect that Filch would use these snowmen to catch people, and he did not expect that the people who went out at night would immediately turn around and use these snowmen after the news of their arrest spread.

So, for almost the entire winter nights, Filch and the students played 'hide-and-seek' with these snowmen. They even gradually upgraded their game, with some secretly hollowing out the snowmen and hiding inside real snowmen.

Some went even further, creating an outer garment from fabric that resembled bloodstains and then attaching an ice talisman, making it feel and feel very close to a snowman.

Although there are still flaws if you look closely, these things are usually used at night and when they are on the run, so even if Filch can use magic, it is useless because his previous use of magic has been exposed, and the result is...

Filch wasn't a student, so his wand wasn't confiscated, but he was still warned by Dumbledore.

Misusing magic isn't just forbidden for students; even professors are prohibited from doing so. He was forbidden from using magic at night to catch disobedient young wizards who were out wandering around, since Filch hadn't received any formal training and only had a superficial understanding of magic. Misusing it could easily lead to danger.

Finally, something happened that both excited and embarrassed Filch: after asking Dumbledore various magical questions repeatedly, he was kicked into the first year of school to study with the first-year students, and not just any first-year students, but the ones who would be joining the new first-year students the following year.

Ye Feng's expression was quite interesting when he heard the news. It was a pity that he wouldn't be able to see it this year. Although Christmas and New Year's Day were both quite lively, for some reason, they felt that something was missing.

Suddenly, a classmate stood up and shouted, "I know what's missing!"

"What's missing?"

"Haven't you noticed that Ye Feng has been very quiet this year and hasn't been involved in any activities or anything?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked enlightened, except for Ye Feng, who was completely speechless.

Ye Feng: ￣へ￣

"You guys can't be comfortable unless you get a little messed up, right?"

Chapter 220 The Hogwarts Express is About to Blow Up

Perhaps it was because Ye Feng didn't organize any activities for Christmas or New Year this year, so after the New Year and until the holiday, everyone felt that something was missing, and even until the holiday, they still had a sense of melancholy and loss.

However, this sense of loss quickly disappeared because it was time for the holidays.

For a typical few-day holiday, some students might not go home, but for a long holiday like this, no student will stay on campus, nor will they be allowed to stay on campus. However, before the holiday, there is a major hurdle waiting for them, and that hurdle is called the final exam.

Ye Feng had originally thought that Voldemort would come to Hogwarts every semester to 'examine' Harry and the others, as he always had. So Ye Feng had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he did not see any trace of Voldemort even after he finished his last exam, which made Ye Feng very disappointed.

However, unlike Ye Feng's disappointment, the others were full of complaints because this year's exam questions were a bit outrageous.

It's not that these exams are particularly difficult; in terms of difficulty, they're nothing to those who have gone through the ordeal of using various talismans. The difficulty level is only moderate. What's causing their complaints is that the questions are simply disgusting.

Yes, it's not difficult; in fact, you could do it if you just listened to a little lecture. But to do it, you need to analyze a lot of things, and you have to list them out one by one, otherwise it's impossible to solve.

These questions are definitely no challenge for you readers, but they're just too annoying, so I won't give any examples. ヾ(??▽?)ノ

As for why this year's questions were so difficult, we'll have to ask our handsome, intelligent Ye Feng.

These questions, which made the students of Hogwarts both want to strangle the question setter and had no choice but to bury themselves in their pens and write until their quills sparked, were created by our classmate Ye Feng after careful research.

Since he set most of the questions, Ye Feng took a different set of questions this time, while the set of questions he did was the original final exam questions.

"Sigh, life is so lonely, I don't even have a single opponent." After finishing all the questions, Ye Feng rested his chin on his hand and sighed softly, which made everyone around him, including Hermione, want to strangle him.

Headmaster Dumbledore, who was supervising the exam on the platform, couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Ye Feng's words.

Do you think he doesn't know what others don't? And he's as lonely as snow. If you hadn't come up with this question and knew the answer, you'd probably be cursing and swearing even if you were doing it yourself.

Of course, he might think that way, but he certainly couldn't say it out loud. However, his fleeting eye roll clearly showed his attitude.

However, Ye Feng's smugness didn't last long, because the following year Dumbledore copied his approach. Since Ye Feng hadn't participated in setting the questions that year, he also took it into consideration, and the result... of course, was still perfect.

Just kidding. Ye Feng must have his own reasons for daring to do this. This kind of question is indeed very complicated, but his problem-solving speed is related to his thinking speed and calculation speed. And Ye Feng, or rather, the Chinese people's calculation speed... have you ever looked up the multiplication table?

Getting back to the main point, although Voldemort wasn't involved in this year's exams, the Hogwarts students, especially Harry and Ron, didn't have it too easy. Ron, in particular, almost scratched his fiery hair bald.

As soon as the exam ended, Ye Feng immediately ran away without even waiting for Zhang Qiu. As for the reason...

"Shit! Did Ye Feng set these test questions?"

"So that's why that guy's been so quiet for so long, he was waiting for us here!"

"Where did that guy go? We can't let him get away!"

"That's right! We absolutely cannot let him get away!"

Dumbledore, watching all this from his vantage point: Ah! What a beautiful and peaceful day.

...

While others were denouncing Ye Feng, Hermione and the others gathered together. They naturally overheard the discussion, and so…

Zhang Qiu: "I agree with their opinion. We have to teach Xiao Feng a lesson. This guy didn't even inform us beforehand. He's really despicable!"

Ginny: "Sister Zhang Qiu is right, we have to teach him a lesson."

Luna: "Are you really willing to do that?"

Ginny: /(//o/ω/o//)/

"Sister Zhang Qiu! Look, Luna is making fun of me again!"

Zhang Qiu: "You two, stop joking around and hurry up and find Xiao Feng. Although he can't escape this lesson, we absolutely can't let anyone else find him first, otherwise it will be difficult for us to go back."

Hermione and the others couldn't help but nod in agreement when they heard Cho Zhang's words, and the reason for their agreement was very simple.

It wasn't that they were worried that Ye Feng would be confronted and blocked by a group of people after being found, and that he would miss his chance to leave the school by boarding the train because of the group's gathering. Rather, they were worried that Ye Feng would cause some unpredictable things after being found.

Although many people now show signs of being "Ye Feng-ized," they actually just like to do things in a similar way to Ye Feng. Even Dumbledore, who has been outwitting Ye Feng for so long, doesn't dare to say he fully understands Ye Feng's true thoughts.

Therefore, they worried that once Ye Feng was found, the Hogwarts Express might become history.

Believe it or not, Zhang Qiu and the others' guesses were actually quite possible, because Ye Feng was right there at the locomotive.

"Sigh, although the Hogwarts Express is all about 'retro,' it's just too slow. It takes almost a whole day to get from Hogwarts to Station Nine and Three-Quarters. This is no good and needs to be changed."

As he muttered to himself, Ye Feng grabbed a part of the locomotive and pulled it outwards.

"Squeak~"
