From Hogwarts Legacy to Hogwarts

Chapter 8 The long-lived mouse

The new version of the "rumor" put forward by the Weasley twins made Halia panic: "I'm going to change my surname." Whatever you want, don't call me Malfoy anymore.Hariya growled in her head.

Unexpectedly, the Weasley twins didn't look at each other, but said in unison: "You can be named Weasley, Mrs. Weasley."

"Huh?" Halia was noncommittal.

I just thought the two of them were joking, because after seeing Halia's reaction, they said again: "Are you really not related to the Malfoy family? Maybe it's his ancestors a few generations ago?"

Halia didn't know what to say, after all, she randomly picked up this name while playing a game, and she really didn't know if it had anything to do with the Malfoy family.

Fortunately, all kinds of outrageous rumors gradually dissipated in the tense atmosphere with the arrival of the exam month.

And Halia is even busier. Not only does she have to prepare for the Owls exam, but she also has to find time and empty classrooms every week to teach Harry some simple fighting spells, and she also has to find ways to remind Harry that there is a problem, Sirius It is unjust.

One time when Halia was teaching three-person fighting spells, Halia asked Ron pretending to be curious: "Ron, I heard you raised a very long-lived mouse?"

"Fred and the others told you?" Ron stopped waving his hand and lowered his head in frustration. "Then they must not have told you that Scabbers has been eaten by Crookshanks."

Halia remembered the plot of Pettigrew feigning death and escaping in the original novel.But can't remember when it was recovered.

I can only comfort Ron first: "I'm sorry to bring up your sadness. I'm just a little curious about how long rodents like mice live. Because I have raised hamsters before, and they live up to three years. It's two years."

Hermione did a survey on this kind of question, and immediately replied: "I read in the book that the lifespan of ordinary mice is two to three years, and some of them live for five years. Scabbers has lived for at least 13 years. It also has a broken front toe."

Harry was worried that the two would quarrel over the pet issue again, so he signaled Leah to change the subject with his eyes: "Yes, Scabbers is a very remarkable mouse. Leah, I want to ask about the relationship between 'La Via Sa' and 'Wingardy'. Leviosa' what's the difference, they both levitate objects."

"'La Viasa' can be used with 'Echoing Landing' against enemies, while 'Wingardim Leviosa' is usually used against objects, after all, after you finish reading 'Wingardim Leviosa' , the enemy is basically no longer in place." Halia could only change the subject, after all, if there was a quarrel, the trouble would be even greater.

As she said that, Halia demonstrated the difference with a dummy borrowed from the Defense Against the Dark Arts class: the syllable of "La Via Sa" is shorter, and the speed of the follow-up "Fall to the ground" can be faster.As for "Wingardim Leviosa", certain syllables need to be elongated, and attention should be paid to shaking the wand with the wrist, even if the follow-up is followed by "Echoing to the Land", the overall time will be longer.

Hermione is always able to spot problems very keenly: "But I haven't seen 'La Viosa' in the book, only when explaining 'Yingardim Leviosa', this kind of thing is mentioned. Wrong way of thinking."

After hearing this, Halia spread her hands helplessly: "It may be that my version of knowledge is from the last century. Professor Snape also said that my potion is as rough as it was made by a savage."

"Speaking of these two spells, I still recommend you to learn the idea of ​​'combining and using'." Halia looked at the three people in front of her, knowing that they had too little actual combat experience, "For example, after using the 'except What do you do after you weapon' enchant?"

The three of Harry couldn't understand: the other party didn't have a wand, so they still wanted to continue fighting?

Halia continued to demonstrate with the actual combat dummy: "If the force of 'Expelling You Weapon' is relatively strong, or the opponent may fall down directly when the opponent is not paying attention, at this time, you can directly use the Flying Curse to pull the opponent to the front, Still in the floating state, and then use 'response to the ground', the opponent will suffer more damage when it hits the ground.

"If the 'explosive weapon' is not powerful enough to only make the opponent's wand drop, you can add a 'blazing flame'. If you are lucky, you may be able to burn the opponent's wand.

"But after so many years, when Ollivander made the wand, he should have added fire-resistant materials, so the wand is very difficult to be burned." Halia added.

The expressions of the three of Harry were terrified: Would it really be impossible to enter Azkaban by burning the living like this?Sirius Black is so notorious for blowing up a street and killing 13 people.

Halia looked at the terrified expressions of the three people in front of her, and belatedly realized that she seemed to be telling a horror story to three 13-year-old children—throwing and burning people.Then hastily added: "This is just an idea of ​​combining spells, so that you can gradually have the concept of 'combining spells and using them in actual combat', not for you to really burn people."

The three of them nodded in understanding.

Halia only felt frustrated. Obviously, the last time they taught a new spell, the acceptance of the three of them was quite high.

It seems that the world view of the novel still belongs to the category of children's literature.

Halia's frustration continued until, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, when she returned the actual combat dummy to Professor Lupin, because the disappointment on her face was too obvious, Professor Lupine was concerned: "What's wrong? Li Ya's little class is not going well?"

"No," Halia suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "I'm a little curious about Ron's pet. He has a mouse, but it has a very long lifespan. The average mouse only lives for two or three years, and the short one lives for one or two years. But one of his had lived at least 13 years and was as old as Ron and Harry."

Halia specially emphasized "the same age as Ron and Harry". While talking, he paid attention to Professor Lupine's expression. From the beginning, he cared about Halia, then he didn't care, and finally his expression became dignified.

"Also," Halia added, "the mouse also lost a...finger? Or, a toe? I don't know the mouse's...should be How to call it, but it is also very strange. The rats I raised before can grow back their broken teeth.

"Even the former professor once taught me that if the limbs are unlucky in battle... Well, there is an accident, you should pick up the stump as soon as possible, and then go to the doctor to reattach it with raw bone water.

"Unless the mouse didn't pick up, um, the finger?"

Halia saw that Lupin's expression became visibly agitated after hearing "finger".

As she spoke, she looked at Professor Lupine's expression. She hoped that Professor Lupine could hear the information that Pettigrew Peter was still alive from her words.

After Halia left the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Remus Lupine returned to his office, looking at a blank piece of parchment spread out on the desk, his hand trembling as he raised his wand, as if He's about to uncover some long-held secrets.

On the other side, in the Slytherin lounge next to the Black Lake, Draco held the letter he had just received from home in his hand.The content of the letter was very simple, but with his keen sense of smell, Draco felt something was wrong in the content of the letter. It seemed that there were some secrets at home waiting for him to reveal.

In addition to expressing her concern for her son, Narcissa Malfoy also conveyed the words of Lucius Malfoy in the letter: Let Draco maintain a good relationship with this Halia Malfoy who suddenly appeared.

You know, when Draco told his parents that he and Harry Potter had a bad relationship, Lucius didn't even ask for "maintaining a good relationship".

Draco looked at the few short lines of the letter and felt that something was hidden behind it.
