Chapter 52 Has Changed
Nick thought Harry could take the opportunity to escape, but he saw the materials for a correspondence course on fast spelling on Filch's desk. When Filch came back, he thought Harry had guessed that he was a Squib, so he told Harry to get out without punishing him.
In any case, Harry was saved by Nick, so when Nick invited him to the death party, he reluctantly agreed.
"Can you go with us that night?" The three children also looked at Chen Bin with starry eyes.
"No problem." Chen Bin whispered: "Before the banquet starts, you come to my dormitory for a meal first. I don't think you are interested in a dead person's dinner."
On the day of the banquet, the three of them arrived at Chen Bin's dormitory on time, and after eating an authentic Cantonese meal, they attended Nick's party with full stomachs.
"Bin, when did you start to have myopia?" Harry was very curious that Chen Bin wore glasses like him today.
Of course, Chen Bin would not say that he prepared it to prevent the basilisk's death gaze, so he could only pretend to be distressed and said: "In the past two months, I have to deal with classes and interest classes, and I have to learn some magic by myself. My myopia has become worse. I went back to China for treatment during the summer vacation.”
The three of them admired him for a while, and then accelerated their pace to the banquet.
There were many candles placed in the aisle leading to the party. The candle bodies were black and the candle flames were bright blue, making their faces look more like dead people. Moreover, with every step they took, the temperature dropped a little, and Chen Bin directly cast a warming spell on the three people seeking death.
Around the corner in front of the venue, everyone could hear an uneasy sound like a thousand nails scratching the blackboard.
"This isn't music, is it?" Ron whispered.
Turning the corner, the four of them saw headless Nick standing next to the door with a black and purple curtain.
"Dear friends..." he said sadly: "Welcome... I am really glad that you are coming to my banquet..."
He took off his feathered hat, bowed to them, and let them in.
"Bin, thank you for letting us eat first." Hermione whispered in Chen Bin's ear, and then used her eyes to indicate to the three of them to take a look at the scene at the venue.
Hundreds of translucent ghosts floated on the dance floor, waltzing to the eerie music.
On the platform under the black screen, the symphony orchestra was vigorously pulling dozens of saws, which made the four of them think about where the sound of scratching the blackboard came from.
The blue light emitted by the chandelier, the white mist exhaled by the four people, the strange ghosts, etc., are completely incapable of making any living person have a favorable impression - except for Chen Bin.
In his previous life, he and his friends went to a theme park on Halloween just to experience the scares of a haunted house at night. I played ten different themed haunted houses in one night, and the total added up was not as stressful as it is now.
Chen Bin and the dead trio walked around, Hermione annoyed Moaning Myrtle as expected, and together they stared at the rotten fish, coal cake, moth cheese and tombstone-shaped cake on the long table.
After Hermione pinched her nose and moved closer to a plate of rotten animal liver, Ron finally couldn't pretend to be calm and would really vomit if he didn't leave now. The four of them had just finished eating, and they felt a little nauseous when they smelled this smell again.
So, after talking to the ghosts for a while, they quietly walked to the door and escaped in a puff of smoke. A wisp of smoke is not an adjective, but the white smoke dodge that Chen Bin finally learned this month.
In the movie, half of the Death Eaters' bodies turn into black smoke when they dodge and move around, while the people in the Order of the Phoenix turn into white smoke. There is no such description in the novel, but Isabel has researched the family's ancient magic for a long time, and has long deduced that the white smoke transformation in the Order of the Phoenix is a very complex transformation technique.
Chen Bin had seen Socket Nose use this trick to escape from the castle when he was a baby, so he wanted to learn this trick since he was a child. Although this move cannot fly, it is a life-saving magic that allows you to dodge and move in a short distance. It can attack, defend, and then disapparate to escape.
Now Chen Bin can even take three little ones and escape without a trace, all by relying on white smoke and Qinggong.
On the stone steps leading to the hall, Chen Bin kept paying attention to Harry, waiting for him to notice the strange sound.
However, there was no drama until they reached the stairs leading to the Gryffindor common room. Chen Bin was a little disappointed. In vain, he specially made a bunch of glasses. It seemed that there might be no basilisk this year.
"Bin, maybe you haven't been to the Gryffindor lounge for a long time, why don't we talk about it together." Hermione cordially invited.
Chen Bin frowned, and a cheap plan came to mind. "OK."
"Why do you smile so sinisterly?" Harry had a bad feeling.
"Illusion." Chen Bin smiled and said: "How can campus youth be complete without a surprise dormitory search? Let's go."
After that, he headed not to the lounge, but to Professor McGonagall's office.
The trio seeking death: Σ(っ°Д°;)っWe seem to have made a mistake we shouldn’t have made.
In the next few weeks, Hogwarts went on as usual, with no basilisk, no diary, and no heir of Slytherin. Students did their homework after school and participated in continuing interest classes. It was thriving. There are great prospects, and... many students from the four colleges have also been punished.
The four deans worked together to purify the campus and also took joint actions that night. As a result, there are more students to clean the castle, more farmers in the medicine fields, more assistants in Potions, and Lockhart has more helpers to answer letters.
Among all the students in the school, only the three who were seeking death knew who the instigator was, but they dared not say that they were Wu Sangui who brought in the Qing army, otherwise they were afraid of eating shit bullets when squatting in the toilet, vomiting poop when eating, and farting endlessly in class. Anyway, the Weasley brothers have dealt with traitors in this way before.
Then, the happy days passed very quickly.
"...Okay, this lower grade "Defense Against the Dark Arts Study Club" activity is over." Chen Bin said while directing the students to clean up: "Students who have not yet learned to use the levitation spell to set up obstacles can try it. When you have time, ask the senior students in the common room to demonstrate how to stack chairs into obstacles. This can effectively block the enemy's attack in indoor encounters. get out of class is dismissed now."
"Yes!" The first to third grade students replied in unison.
Chen Bin saw the three who were seeking death collapsed on the ground with exhaustion, and wondered if this activity was considered overtraining.
According to the original plan, the first to seventh grade students should communicate together. However, after more than a month of practice, most of the lower grade students could not understand the theories of the middle to high grades. Therefore, in addition to the whole grade in some large classes, Chen Bin has set up another special improvement class for grades one to three.
Today's activity is a practical activity for the lower grade students, so that they can catch up with the theories of the middle grade students in a short period of time, otherwise the communication in the large class will become meaningless.
However, perhaps Chen Bin's experience as an instructor in his previous life was too profound, so that now the students are almost all exhausted after finishing the practical activities he tutored.
According to Chen Bin's observation, the three people who are seeking death are in the upper middle level among the same grade! Yes, in the upper middle level, Chen Bin was also surprised to find this.
As the original first in the grade, Hermione should be the strongest.
Her magic knowledge is indeed very solid, and her knowledge is very broad, and the spells she knows are also beyond her peers. But! Coming from a Muggle family, her magic power is only in the middle level among her peers, and her application and on-the-spot reaction of combat magic are very ordinary. Therefore, she is very suitable to be a research scholar or administrator in the future, but this kind of magic is not suitable for being a combatant. How can it be said that a higher level of magic can really crush people.
Harry's magic is excellent among his peers, and is even slightly stronger than some pure-blood wizards, just a little bit behind Draco's thousand-year-old pure blood. This kid's theory is okay, but his combat intuition and hands-on ability are very strong, which is completely the template of the protagonist.
What surprised Chen Bin the most was Ron, whose magic was slightly stronger than Draco! If Harry's magic was not inferior to pure blood because he inherited most of the blood of the Potter family, then Ron definitely had such high magic because he came from the pure-blood Weasley family, and he may have inherited the purer blood of his ancestors.
He is indeed not good at theory, but he has inherited a strong comprehension. This comprehension is not the ability to learn knowledge from books, and after repeatedly practicing the same spell, you can rely on intuition to quickly master a spell, and even make improvements based on your feelings.
This is like a bug. Almost all pure bloods have this kind of comprehension in some areas, which is what pure bloods often say is "the gift of ancestors". This statement has never appeared in novels, but it is very popular in reality. Chen Bin initially thought that this was just a lie made up by pure bloods, but Chen Bin saw this phenomenon last year.
For example, not long after the first grade started, Hermione absorbed a lot of magic knowledge from books to understand the casting skills of the levitation spell, but Ron could not learn it. However, when he was in danger, he put aside a lot of theories that he didn't understand, and just thought about the stupid operations he had heard, and he could do it by feeling the levitation spell.
If Chen Bin hadn't saved the three people in the toilet at that time, Ron would have performed beyond his level in the end, and he would have taken the troll's stake with the first levitation spell! You know, the first-year students only learned to hold up feathers in the last semester, but Ron could take the stake from the troll with good magic resistance at that time.
Chen Bin interrupted his chance to perform at a higher level, but that didn't mean he didn't show this tendency. In the subsequent "Spells" classes, although he was always the last one to learn the spell, he was always the one who played it most smoothly after continuous practice. The most buggy thing was that even after he became proficient in it, he still couldn't fully understand the core principle of the spell!
