On the last day of Christmas, Heinrich fought like a mad dog.
He was very talented in fire magic, and his wand spurted fire bats flying towards John.
John pursed his lips, raised his hand and turned the stone pier into two big dogs to block the situation in front of him. Seeing the opportunity, he pointed the wand at Heinrich's feet.
It collapsed beneath his feet and Heinrich grabbed the edge before falling.
The uneven wooden thorns dug into the palm of his hand, and blood slid down Heinrich's palm.
When he climbed up, John had already condensed a ball of water and hit Heinrich heavily.
The water prison spell trapped Heinrich, and the air in his mouth and nose was replaced by water. One second before he fainted, John released the spell.
Heinrich fell to the ground wetly, and John walked over and pulled him up.
"Your strength has improved a lot." John praised.
This is no consolation. Compared with the Durmstrang period, Heinrich's strength has improved a lot.
Also because of John as his opponent, his reaction speed and spell level have been enhanced.
The fanaticism in his eyes was like that of a true believer. Heinrich smiled at John, and paired with his pale and sickly face, he had a sickly look.
End of training day.
The two separated and John headed to the Gryffindor common room.
After saying the password, he walked straight in.
There were many people in the originally deserted lounge, and they were sharing their vacation experiences.
Seeing John come in, the lounge suddenly became silent.
Crookshanks was not surprised and was already waiting by the fireplace in the lounge.
After seeing John, it ran over.
John picked up Crookshanks and touched the fluffy hair.
He smiled and said, "You continue."
After saying that, he turned and left.
The people left in the Gryffindor common room looked at each other.
Taking Crookshanks outside, John let go of his hand, and Crookshanks jumped down and left without looking back.
"He really doesn't show any mercy."
Shaking his head, John thought to himself that all the cat strips he had eaten were in vain.
Basil flew over and brought a package.
John opened the package, and inside was a book covered with fire dragon skin.
"Tang Mi is still efficient in his work."
Seeing this old book, John praised it.
He had been looking for traces of ancient magic. In addition to the blood curse, he finally saw the second one.
"Ancient Fairy Magic Record"
The book Tang Mi recovered from Egypt is thousands of years old.
What is recorded is fairy magic.
To John's eye, the book had a fluorescent mark on its cover.
Only he could see the emerald green fluorescence, which was an ancient magic mark.
Most of the goblin magic is primitive, and John reaches out to touch the mark.
A memory belonging to the goblin entered his mind, and John stood there for three seconds to digest it.
"Coin spell?"
He looked a little strange as he recalled the scene he just watched.
An elf held a Galleon in his hand. When the Galleon disappeared into thin air, the broken vase in front of him automatically repaired itself.
This is not elemental magic, but more like a rule magic.
"The more you pay, the more you get." After careful consideration, John understood this magic.
The main reason why ancient magic is ancient is because of some strange rules.
This kind of money transaction is also very interesting. You can't mint your own coins, they have to be circulating currency.
Opening up the book to study, John finally succeeded once after an afternoon of trying.
Holding a galleung, he looked at the broken cup and used the coin spell.
Galleons disappeared out of thin air, and the cup in front of him was being repaired visibly.
"Why do you feel like you're at a loss?"
Staring at this cup that I bought for 10 Knuts in Diagon Alley and spent 1 Galleons to repair, it seems like I made a huge loss.
It has to be said that it has to be a fairy, even if it is magic, it has to be a hidden trick.
Remembering that he had also smashed a Quidditch goal, John picked up a bag of Galleons and went over.
Originally, John wanted to repair it that day, but unfortunately under his level 4 crushing spell, the damaged things were basically beyond repair.
Before anyone else noticed, John came to the Quidditch pitch.
There were originally three goals on the left and right sides, which stood like a fork on the court.
Now of the three goals on the right, only one pole is left in one of them.
John walked over, grabbed a few Galleons, and used the Coin Charm at the same time.
The Galleons in his hand disappeared one by one, and at the same time, the goal shattered by the crushing spell was gradually repaired at this time.
Pieces of broken sawdust flew over, and the five Galleons in John's hand were consumed, and the goal was half restored.
John added ten more galleons and the goal was repaired.
"The repair level is higher than the repair spell."
Looking at the goal, which was the same as before it was smashed, John was surprised.
If this is the case, does it mean that if you encounter a curse that cannot be cured by ordinary people, you can also use the coin curse to cure it?
To calm down his excitement, John still needs to go through a few more experiments.
But this coin spell is really expensive. Just repairing the goal cost 15 Galleons.
If the family hadn't had a big business, they probably wouldn't have been able to afford it.
It's not like he hasn't tried to use other things instead of coins, such as gold made of magic crystal, which cannot be used.
“You must first give value before you can create value.”
After understanding it, John opened the "Ancient Fairy Magic Book" and read it for a while. In addition to the coin spell, this book also recorded a lightning magic spell.
John has tested it, and the power is quite impressive, and most importantly, it is very cool.
Closing the book, John carried the empty money bag and walked back to the dormitory with a dark face.
He wanted to use the coin spell to repair his right hand, but the money was gone and his right hand was not repaired at all.
"The soul cannot be repaired."
John looked at the empty bag again and couldn't help but secretly cursed the elf for being such a cheat.
Even if it can't be repaired, what do you mean by accepting money and not doing anything?
Sure enough, goblins were beaten by wizards for no reason. With their deceptive magic, they were beaten unjustly.
...
school starts.
hall.
Students in twos and threes were talking together. John found Daphne staring at him. He was a little confused and touched his face, but there was nothing stuck on her face.
"John, you...did something happen to you?"
Daphne hesitated for a moment before asking the question.
This made John even more confused about what could happen to him.
"I feel like you're not happy when you eat." Daphne is an observant person.
She clearly felt that John was not as happy as before when he ate.
She thought something might have happened to John. Could it be that something big happened during Christmas?
John suddenly realized that this food just tasted like crap, and he really couldn't be happy about it.
"It's okay, I just have a bad appetite lately."
Hearing the word "poor appetite" from John's mouth, Daphne was as shocked as if she saw a Gryffindor being honest.
She looked at the dishes and thought that the dishes must not be to John's liking.
She was determined to make something delicious that would cheer John up.
If John knew her thoughts, he would definitely tell her, girl, your thoughts are dangerous, please stop your Hufflepuff behavior.
In the divination class, the first class after school started, John had already begun to master his ability to foresee.
Touching the crystal ball with both hands, John stared at the crystal ball, trying to see through the clouds inside.
Professor Trelawney was teaching others and seemed to have given John full marks in advance.
John did not forget the other students in class and responded positively.
Looking from high up in the castle, you can sometimes see Aurors and dementors searching outside.
Sirius seemed to have disappeared from the world, and was not found outside Hogsmeade or Hogwarts.
There was no second attack, and some speculated that Sirius might have fallen into the water and drowned while escaping.
In this regard, John can only say that young people have great minds.
Hagrid found a bunch of salamanders and he didn't feel too cold during class.
John grabbed a salamander and stared into its eyes. The eyes of this thing looked like his own?
After looking carefully and finding no resemblance, John put the salamander down.
At night, John went to catch a dementor to serve as a meal.
After peeling off the cocoon, the curse had almost turned the entire ring black. John drank the potion to repair his soul, and the familiar pain allowed him to stand still.
A row of sweat beads fell from his forehead, which John was somewhat used to.
Taking out the Marauder's Map, John was used to seeing a few Hermiones running around on the map from time to time.
He noticed Peter Pettigrew tossing and turning on Ron's bed, and saw Dumbledore walking back and forth in the office.
Lu Ping usually stayed in the office and seemed to be busy with something.
