MTL - I Wield a Sword at Hogwarts-Chapter 555
"This thing is really evil." Daphne frowned, "I feel very uncomfortable."
"The Book of Darkness" flew into the small bag, and John smiled: "I am impressed by your progress, Daphne."
Being able to feel the evil in the "Book of Darkness" shows that Daphne has made a lot of progress.
After being praised by John, Daphne's eyes were bright.
Malfoy said unconvinced: "I noticed it too."
"Oh, then you are awesome." Daphne looked at the conspicuous bag and immediately mocked, "If there is a curse on it, you will be the first to suffer."
You are really good at touching it when you find it.
Malfoy is autistic.
"Eat some chocolate, Draco."
Astoria broke the chocolate in half and handed half to Malfoy.
"Thank you, Atto." Malfoy took it happily, like a pet being fed.
Daphne sneered, showing off.
"This is a small cake I baked myself," Daphne took out the cake and said shyly, "Try it."
Malfoy looked at the chocolate, and then at the three-layered 'little cake'.
Bah, conspicuous bag.
…
The train dragging smoke headed towards the station.
The sun also reluctantly disappears with its afterglow.
Hagrid, the most popular professor, stood at the station preparing to welcome this year's new students.
What was different from the past was that this time the new students were not scared when they saw Hagrid's hybrid giant size, only excited.
"Are you Rubeus Hagrid in armor?"
"That's cool. Where's your armor?"
"Can I touch it?"
"…"
The freshmen were very excited. They had all seen this big man in the newspapers.
That is the legend of wearing armor and guarding the bridge alone.
"Quiet, everyone be quiet, line up and follow me, be careful not to fall off the platform."
Hagrid was at a loss and shouted for order.
The previous students were not so enthusiastic, and no one even disliked the animal smell on his body.
John smiled and said hello to Hagrid from a distance. He hoped that no students would fall into the lake this year.
…
Chapter 570 Seventh Grade, Final Mission
"This thing is really ugly, can't it be replaced with something nicer?"
Malfoy was pointing at the Thestral pulling the cart.
"Damn, it almost bit me."
Withdrawing his hand, Malfoy was indignant.
Even the Thestrals were so angry that they bit people, which shows that Malfoy has profound skills.
Neville found them and came over to ride in the carriage.
Malfoy was so squeezed by Neville that he almost fell out.
"This semester looks like it will be a peaceful semester." Neville tugged at his collar, which was strangling his neck, and said in a daze: "I mean, Voldemort is dead."
"Maybe."
John was noncommittal. It seemed that Hogwarts was finally at peace.
Get rid of the haze of Voldemort that has lasted for many years, so that students finally don’t have to worry about seeing a green skull mark on the roof one day.
Among them, Neville felt the deepest. His parents were injured by Death Eaters and were hospitalized.
It was also him who personally ended Voldemort's life.
The stupid kid in the Longbottom family who was feared as a squib is now a hero in the entire wizarding world.
"Everything will only get better, Neville." John chuckled, "You can do whatever you want."
Neville scratched his head sheepishly.
"Actually, I plan to stay after graduation."
"Stay? Do you want to be a professor?" Malfoy said in a hurry. "What can you teach? Swordsmanship?"
"Neville's Herbology is very good," John said, not objecting to the idea. "He can become a Professor of Herbology."
"I believe Professor Sprout would like to see this happen."
Daphne nodded in approval.
The carriage swayed to the oak gate.
Before the new students arrived in the boat, Malfoy jumped out of the carriage and whistled.
"I thought it would be different."
"The familiar is the best." John stepped out of the carriage and reached out to help Daphne.
The entire castle was renovated.
Places damaged by black magic need to be cleared of curses.
Walking into the foyer, a water balloon fell from the sky.
Before he was about to meet John, he was blocked by a funny big face.
Peeves took off his hat, wrung out the water on it, and said with a wet face, "Welcome back the King of Hogwarts."
He originally wanted to ambush the students here, but who would have thought that the first one to come in would be John.
Licking his funny smile, Peeves said very doggedly: "My king, forgive me for being rude."
"Peeves."
Peeves was ready to be scolded and was about to pack up the water balloons he had prepared and go back.
"Remember to throw more accurately later." John did not reprimand, but said with a smile: "But before the professor comes, it's best to hide."
Peeves was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Of course, my king."
He flew to the ceiling and hid furtively, waiting for the next group of unlucky ones to enter, only to be greeted by a head full of water balloons.
When John entered the auditorium, he heard screams one after another outside, mixed with curses and Peeves' laughter.
But as he cursed, his voice turned into laughter.
The water balloons that greeted the students made them understand that Hogwarts is still the same Hogwarts.
It has not changed because of the war.
The depression of the war was completely shattered by Peeves after a holiday.
A group of students with wet hair entered the auditorium. They laughed and talked about their holidays.
This year’s opening banquet begins.
…
[Ding, start the final mission of the Hogwarts stage and spend the seventh year of the magic apprenticeship. The mission reward is: magic blood +1, any point +3]
Unconsciously, the mission belonging to Hogwarts has come to the last time.
This made John feel a little emotional.
Although this system has a low sense of existence, it is of great help to him.
Just as I was sighing, I heard another sound coming from the system.
[Ding, trigger the challenge mission, find the secret rooms of the remaining two founders before the end of the school year, mission reward, magic blood +1]
Magical blood?
John's eyes lit up.
"The secret rooms of the other two founders."
He has always wondered whether the remaining two of the Big Four also left a legacy at Hogwarts, and now it seems that they do.
I thought I would spend this year on Hagrid’s Care of Magical Zoology, but now it seems I can do something more interesting.
But the secret room is very deep.
Even in the battle with Voldemort, the secret rooms of the two founders did not appear.
This made John curious, where is it?
At the opening banquet, Slughorn once said that he was not suitable to be a principal.
But John directly sent him a copy titled "Horace Slughorn, the Brave Headmaster of Hogwarts".
Slughorn, who had originally thought about abdicating his position, never mentioned the matter again.
After all, who wouldn’t want to have a good reputation spread?
Moreover, he, the brave principal, almost lay down. Apart from beating up Voldemort with Professor McGonagall and others, he basically made no great contribution.
As Slytherins, honor is a temptation that almost every one of them cannot avoid.
"By the way, what about the Star Club?"
Slughorn said "Let's eat" and everyone started to feast.
Malfoy stuffed a mouthful of mashed potatoes with meat sauce into his mouth and asked, "Last time we summoned the Star Club, it disappeared after the battle."
"The Star Club is with us, I put it back."
John looked at the peeled potatoes and fell into thought.
How many years have passed, can't you change your approach?
He put the Star Club back into Slytherin's secret room. The last battle directly released the magic power that had been stored for many years in one breath.
After a holiday, it has not returned to one-tenth of its previous state.
"But I made some small changes." John struggled for a while and then peeled off the skin of the potato. "It will appear next to the members of the Star Club."
Taking advantage of the last opportunity to release magic, John carried out a major transformation of the Star Club.
It is no longer fixed in the corridor, but will travel around the school based on the needs of the members of the Star Club.
The entire Hogwarts is filled with the same source of magic left after the magic is released, so this can be done.
The only way to summon the Star Club is inside the Room of Requirement.
It is also a disguised form that gives the Star Club the ability to move around Hogwarts at will.
This is also convenient for John. He can use the Star Society to find the founder's secret room hidden in Hogwarts.
There are no werewolves among the freshmen this year.
But there are a few familiar faces from big families.
After the sorting ceremony, all students returned to the common room under the leadership of their prefects.
John lags behind because he knows someone is looking for him.
In the corridor before entering the Slytherin common room, he greeted Filch as he walked past.
Noticing the box of Mapo Tofu ice cream, John had a complicated expression.
