Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 69 Persistence and Giving Up

The protective magic covering the office has been completely removed by Amosta, and the weak starlight once again shines on the dark floor of the office through the curtains blown by the breeze. Amosta leans on the back of the chair, staring at Those mottled lights and shadows could not hide the tiredness on his expression.

Before reading the memory, Amosta expected that he would see some interesting information, but, not to mention how rich his imagination was, he did not expect such incredible information to be hidden in his 'deleted' memory.

"Harry Potter--"

After a long while, Amosta closed his eyes, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The memory under the dormitory floor has nothing to do with the plot, but it is more important than the plot. It can even be said that this is a memory that affects the "future direction".

"No wonder I made such comprehensive protection back then--"

Amosta groaned softly, the wry smile on the corner of his mouth had unknowingly turned into a sinister one, and there was not only relief but also doubt in his eyes.

"--Am I still involved, but why do I have to go to this point. Is that really possible?"

The content of the memory itself made Amosta understand why this memory appeared, and why only when he returned to Hogwarts and met Harry Potter, the clues of this memory would emerge, But its existence has also given Amosta deeper doubts. This doubt cannot be answered at present. Only by going down the long river of time step by step will the mystery of it be unveiled one day in the future.

"The Butterfly Effect——It seems that my appearance still makes the problem more complicated?"

Twirling the magic wand at his fingertips, Amosta cast his eyes on the voodoo doll on the bookshelf whose nose was on the verge of being broken, and whose body was made of dragon blood and whose body was pale pink. I can't last long under the ravages, which means that my time at Hogwarts is about to enter the countdown.

"It's about time for the heat—"

Amosta moved his nostrils and let out an inexplicable laugh, he already smelled the breath of 'freedom'.

"Eight-eyed spiders—this is an extremely aggressive dark creature that lives in groups. So far, it has not been found that eight-eyed spiders don't like the flesh of that kind of creature. Of course, it also includes human flesh."

Amosta's explanation made all the young wizards who 'legally' entered the edge of the Forbidden Forest calm their excitement slightly, and turned their attention back to the juvenile eight-eyed spider behind Professor Brian like a runaway horse. body.

"You can tell from its size that this is a magical creature with excellent speed and strength. It is especially important to note that the venom of an adult eight-eyed spider can even disable a fire dragon."

Amosta talked eloquently in front of a group of young wizards,

"However, it is still not difficult to deal with, because the weakness of the eight-eyed spider is as prominent as its advantages. Compared with the resistance to magic spells of the fur or scales of ordinary magical creatures, the magic resistance of the eight-eyed spider and Wizards are similar, which means that even a first-year wizard, as long as he can make his spell hit the eight-eyed spider, then he can defeat this creature!"

"Professor Blaine!"

Katie Bell of Gryffindor raised her hand, her voice mixed with excitement and fear,
"If we are bitten by an eight-eyed spider, will it lay eggs in our bodies!"

"Why can't you ask a less disgusting question, Katie?" Arya said dissatisfied.

Click, click, click.
Amosta chuckled, waved his hand to lift his petrification spell, and said loudly to the young wizards who were eager to try,
"Stand back three hundred feet and line up, trying to petrify or stun the eight-eyed spider before it rushes over and injects its venom into you.

Friendly reminder, everyone, at this distance, the eight-eyed spider will come to you in less than five seconds, that is to say, you only have the opportunity to cast two spells.
Do you have to be determined to put all your eggs in one basket? Do you understand that if you fail, you will have to swallow the bitter fruit yourself, because I will not make a move. You should thank the first and second grade students, I have put the practice class The difficulty has dropped to the level that even Filch can handle it! "

Facing a group of excited young wizards, the eight-eyed spider holding the black ao high closed its eyes in 'desperation', as if it had predicted its own tragic end.

This is what happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts practical class in the third, fourth, and fifth grades. Under the strong opposition of Professor McGonagall, Amosta had to cancel the original plan to find a closed classroom to restore the Forbidden Forest The environment, let the little wizards have a 1V1 plan with the eight-eyed spider in a completely unknown situation.

However, this difficulty seems to be just right for little wizards, and most people can play it happily.

Some courageous and practical ones, such as the Weasley twins and Hufflepuff's Cedric, can even play with this hapless eight-eyed spider with ease!
In the Gryffindor lounge that night, when he heard Fred and George showing off in the crowd that they killed the two slender limbs of the eight-eyed spider with the petrification spell and the smashing spell, Ron, who was nervous because of tomorrow's practical class, suddenly Showing the expression of the rest of the life after the catastrophe.

"No matter what you deal with, it's better than spiders!"

What Ron said tremblingly made Halligan and Hermione look at each other. They knew that Ron's self-confidence could only be maintained until Defense Against the Dark Arts class at most. Professor Brayne would let Ron know what it means to be "sinister". !
"Say-"

Ron chewed a piece of pumpkin pie, frowned and looked at Harry and Hermione, who had been in a trance no matter what they did in the past two days, and said,

"Don't you two have any ideas yet?"

Hearing this, Harry collapsed on the sofa, and Hermione also put down her Transfiguration paper and sighed,

"It's harder than you think, Ron, I think you have to be fully prepared
Although the words of Professor Blaine in the school hospital are inspiring, it is impossible for us who lack practical experience to be so easy, right? "

Hermione looked at Ron who seemed to have accepted his fate calmly and said,
"That's not something that can be solved by knocking someone's head unconscious with a floating spell."

Since Professor Brian agreed to give everyone another chance to give up at the school hospital that night, basically most of the little wizards who had seen the Nether Corpse chose to give up, and there were also some little wizards who were planning to enter the maze for the second time. Quite a few made new choices.

In fact, Ron also had the idea of ​​giving up in his heart, but seeing Harry and Hermione continue to persevere, even Neville squatted in front of the fireplace all day long, thinking hard about what simple little spell he could use to defeat the monsters in the maze. Dark creatures, as a last resort, in order to maintain his fragile self-esteem, Ron had to grit his teeth and persist.

"After tomorrow, Professor Brian has scheduled the next practical class for next Thursday. Before that, I hope I can think of a way"

Hermione said with a sad face, brooding

"Since Professor Bryan has allowed everyone to give up, why can't we be allowed to look up some information?"
