Being a passerby in HP female protagonist fanfiction

Life now is not much different from before.

I continued to study, eat, play, and sleep as usual. After adapting to the Hogwarts rhythm, I was incredibly happy, studying during the day and having a snack at night.

He would play with the badger cubs from time to time, occasionally study with Hermione or Willow, and help or ask questions of Dean Sprout whenever he had free time, thus cultivating a public impression of his love for herbalism in advance.

Without Barty's interference, I started secretly practicing spells in the small room in my suitcase again. However, in a sense, thanks to the theoretical learning during this holiday, I can feel that my progress in practicing spells is now much faster.

"Floating Spell".

A very thick book floated up, and I controlled it to float above my head. Then I took a deep breath and read it as fast as I could.

"Armor for protection!"

The book fell directly after losing its magic, but it was bounced off an invisible barrier at some height above my head and landed far away.

I breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from my forehead.

I am quite aware of my own abilities and have a good sense of self-awareness.

With my current strength, the best way to avoid damage is, of course, to practice defensive and evasion spells.

I tried practicing armor protection, but I easily fell into the awkward situation of the shield being too thin. I didn't have the conditions to improve it in a short time, so I decisively changed my thinking - if I can't be a tank, should I try an evasion shield?

If I go for the evasion shield route... I'll think about it carefully.

The first thing to improve is the speed of spell casting. I can achieve this through repeated practice. Although it's a bit clumsy, it doesn't require too many external conditions.

These days I've been practicing how to improve my magic casting speed. Besides relying on proficiency, the body's subconscious reaction is also very important.

Just like now, I was able to cast Armor Protection in that instant, blocking one instance of damage. Of course, the thickness of this shield is questionable, but it is still very useful in critical moments, and it is also in line with the power of the spells that I can use at my age, which means that I don't need to hold back too much and can just use them when necessary.

There are also a few very useful spells—yes, you guys, Clear Water and Freezing Spell!

Clear Water Like a Spring can be used as a daily life spell, such as watering plants or washing things. It can also be used as a harassing spell when necessary.

For example, players who have played Magic Awakening know that Clear Water Like a Spring can be used to kill people, and high-speed water bullets can deal considerable damage. However, in actual use, it is almost impossible to achieve that effect, as the required magical control is extremely high.

Even now, I can only control it to turn a trickle into a large stream.

The water flow's damage is surprisingly potent; you could say that a flurry of attacks, seemingly powerful, ultimately result in only 0.5 damage, rendering it utterly useless.

However, this is not a game world after all. It's all about human effort. If you want to, there's always a way to achieve high damage.

The Freeze Charm is the spell Hermione used in the original books to stop the house sprites that Lockhart released during his class. It can stop the movement of an object—to be honest, I really think this spell is amazing, not at all like a spell that a young student could use.

This is where I come in and I can point out one of my advantages: I have two wands, and one of them doesn't even require me to control it.

By using the Water Spring and the Freeze Spell simultaneously, you can see a hovering water sphere that is constantly growing larger.

However, the water sphere cannot move, which is a problem.

I thought about it for a long time and started to consider whether the Levitation spell could work here, but it didn't seem to be able to counteract the Frozen spell and couldn't shake the hovering state.

The exercise spell didn't work either.

Then, how about trying the Flying Spell?

Fortunately, the spell worked.

The Spell of Appearance seems to treat the hovering water sphere and its stationary state as a single object, allowing it to be moved. However, the Freeze Spell usually cancels the movement immediately after it ends, causing the water sphere to disperse.

I calmly wiped my face after being hit in the face by a water balloon.

I must say, getting hit suddenly actually hurts quite a bit.

However, this also proves that if a force is applied to a water ball, it can create the effect of a water bomb, and enough water bombs can be used as a harassing ball in a certain sense.

However, the direction cannot be controlled; the Flying Spell makes objects fly towards you, so it cannot be used to attack others.

I fell into deep thought again.

no idea.

Seeing that I really couldn't figure anything out, I simply ended today's practice session.

Thinking about how to cast the Water Bullet version of Clear Water Like a Spring is just a study of magic, and it doesn't mean that I really want to completely replicate it.

I was just wondering if it's possible to achieve a power greater than 2 or even 3 through a combination of spells.

There are still too few spells that can be cast.

But there's no rush, let's continue another day.

I climbed out of the small room in my suitcase, lifted the silence spell, and fell peacefully asleep.

The next day, I ran into Hermione again at the library. She was frowning as she flipped through an extremely thick and huge book that looked like it could send me flying if smashed.

I sat down and began to read the book with great interest, pondering the application of spells.

Suddenly, Hermione looked around alertly, her gaze finally settling on me.

“Claire…” Hermione looked at me, hesitating as if she had something to say.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" I immediately put down the book in my hand, smiled, and guessed that Hermione was about to say something about Nicolas Flamel again.

I know Hermione has been troubled by this for a while, and Ron and Harry haven't been very helpful.

We can't expect Harry to go to the forbidden section every night, and besides, Harry is currently busy with Quidditch training. Given Wood's level of madness, Harry really doesn't have much free time.

Ron was never good at this kind of search work from the beginning, and his efficiency was extremely low. No matter how anxious Hermione was, she was powerless to help.

Out of friendship, I asked a few questions, and Hermione only said that they were looking for someone named Nicolas Flamel, but the reason was vague.

So I thought this was also about Nicolas Flamel.

But Hermione grabbed my hand and led me straight out of the library.

I was shocked, but I did not resist.

What's wrong?

I'm thinking about all sorts of possibilities.

“Claire…” Hermione finally stopped and breathed a sigh of relief after they reached a secluded spot.

She moved closer to me, her expression serious, and lowered her voice.

"Have you noticed that it seems like someone is following you?"

I:"……"

I suddenly got goosebumps all over my body.

Hermione wouldn't joke like that, so...

I didn't move, I just looked at Hermione.
