The new semester has begun.

Schelling's Charms, Potions, and Transfiguration classes were far ahead of his learning schedule. This semester, he decided to focus on the improvement of the Iron Armor Charm.

The protego is a spell that can resist many kinds of spells. It can create a magical barrier to deflect spells and physical entities. A skilled spellcaster can even cause incoming spells to be bounced directly back to the caster. direction.

What is less known is that there are actually many more advanced applications behind the Iron Armor Curse. For example, "protegototalum" is a variant of the Iron Armor Curse, which can summon a barrier to protect a specific area or a certain building. Buildings that block or repel most spells and can block enemy attempts to invade protected areas.

To put it simply, it is a magic that combines the functions of protective barrier and isolation barrier.

When Hermione cast this spell in the original book, Harry saw a slight tremor in the surrounding air, as if Hermione had conjured a stream of hot air above the clearing. That airflow is an invisible barrier.

Another variation of the Armor Curse is protegohorribilis. It is an advanced version of "Total Protection", and its effect is so powerful that even Voldemort spent a lot of effort to break it. It is the strongest defensive spell.

The effect of this magic is the same as "Total Protection", but the range of protection is larger and wider, and the barrier is more difficult to break. When Flitwick cast it on the castle in the final battle in the original book, Harry heard a strange whirring sound. It seemed that Flitwick had released the power of the wind onto the playground, and the wind was an invisible barrier.

Obviously, the difference in power between the two protective spells can be seen from the strength of the airflow and the accompanying airflow sound effects.

These two advanced protection spells can also be used in conjunction with "Salviohexia" (Salviohexia) to improve the barrier's defense against evil spells; they can also be used in conjunction with "Fiantoduri" (Fiantoduri) to increase the strength and durability of the barrier; or they can Used in conjunction with the Muggle Expelling Spell and the Enemy Expelling Spell, the barrier can expel Muggles who approach unexpectedly, and can also identify hostile enemies so that they cannot sneak in.

(Note: protegohorribilis literally means "resisting evil", but it was translated by People's News Agency as "super strong armor protection". As a result, it was used by the protagonists in a lot of fans as an enhanced version of the iron armor spell. In fact, this is not A combat magic. The original book says that Professor Flitwick needs to set up a protective shield in advance without interference, and must recite a "very complicated spell")

(In layman's terms, the Iron Armor spell creates a shield in front of the caster; the Total Protection spell creates a micro-airflow protective shield in a small area; the Invincible Evil spell creates a large whirlwind protection in a large area. cover)

What Schelling wants to do is to skillfully combine all defensive spells and use them tactically and flexibly in different situations.

During the first week of school, the herbal medicine class was devoted to the baba tuber. Baboo tubers are very ugly plants that look like big, black, slimy slugs that stand straight out of the soil. And all of them were squirming slightly, and there were many big shiny bulges on their bodies, which seemed to be filled with liquid.

Little wizards need to squeeze the pustules with their hands to collect the pus inside. Care must be taken during this process to prevent pus from splashing onto the skin. Undiluted baba tuber pus can cause unusual damage to the skin.

The process of squeezing the tuber is disgusting but also strangely satisfying. Whenever a bulge is squeezed, a large stream of viscous yellow-green liquid will spurt out, emitting a pungent smell of gasoline.

Schelling was very attentive in this class. Babou tuber is one of the important ingredients in the beauty potion he wants to develop. It is very important to understand its habits and medicinal properties.

Without exception, under his leadership, his team once again achieved the highest score, even though the team was missing one member.

Schelling cast a sidelong glance at Draco's group and saw Crabbe popping the entire baboon tuber, splattering himself and Goyle all over themselves. Big yellow blisters appeared on their faces and arms. Draco was fine. With his excellent reflexes, he used an armor spell to block the pus, which immediately caused a burst of applause from the little snakes.

While Draco complained loudly about Goyle and Crabbe's incompetence, he used a water-making spell to clean the pus from their bodies. Although the pus was washed away from the big and small fools, the exposed skin was already covered with thick, painful pimples and scars.

"Oh, Merlin's beard," Professor Sprout saw this scene and came over hurriedly, "I think you two had better go to the colonel hospital quickly and let Madam Pomfrey take a look..."

"It's okay, Professor, don't worry." Draco took out a bottle of potion from his arms, "This is the trauma potion I made myself. Just apply this on the affected area and it will be fine."

At this time, Goyle and Crabbe were in unbearable pain. They eagerly took the potion and applied it on their bodies. Each pimple and scar melted away at a speed visible to the eye, and not even a trace was visible. It was as if everything just now was an illusion.

Pansy looked at Draco with a fascinated look on her face, but Audrey and Tracey also looked at Draco with burning eyes. Draco stole the show and looked very proud.

Although Draco's behavior did not get any points for his group (in fact, his group's score was extremely low because of the stupid mistakes of the two), but he was the well-deserved protagonist of the whole class, and everyone was talking about it. focus.

Daphne and Murray looked at Xie Lin who was expressionless and silent, and they all had a terrible thought in their hearts. Could something happen between the two brothers?

After the Herbology class, Murray approached Sherrin and expressed that he wanted to talk to him alone, so Daphne went back to the Slytherin lounge first.

Xie Lin and Murray came to a hidden corridor in the castle. There were no classrooms or offices here, and no one would come here normally.

"Xie Lin, are you okay?" Murray's eyes were filled with worry.

"It's okay, what can happen to me?" Xie Lin said with his usual gentle smile. "But you, I disappeared during the summer vacation. Didn't you tell me that you and your family went to France for vacation? Did you enjoy the trip?"

Murray did not answer, but looked at Xie Lin steadily, as if trying to find something on Xie Lin's face.

"What's wrong? Is there a flower growing on my face?" Xie Lin said with a smile.

"Don't change the topic!" Murray said irritably, contrary to her usual gentle persona, "You've always been like this, always wearing that hypocritical smile -"

Her voice suddenly choked up, "In your heart, am I only worthy of having fun with you?" As she spoke, her reddish eyes became misty, "Could it be said that from beginning to end, you have never Don’t you regard me as a trustworthy friend?”

"Murray..." Since time traveling, no matter who he was dealing with, even close relatives, Xie Lin had long been accustomed to disguising himself. He never thought about the harm he would do to other people. For a moment, he felt guilty and pity. , he pursed his lips and said softly: "I'm sorry..."

"I don't want your apology!" Murray rushed forward and hugged Xie Lin tightly, "I have heard about Meredith... I don't even have a deep friendship with her. , but it was enough to make me feel uncomfortable and uneasy throughout the summer vacation... I kept thinking and worrying about what you would do. This incident must have hit you hard... What happened? ?We finally met, but you acted like a normal person and asked me if I had a good summer vacation!"

Mo Rui raised her head. After crying, she was like a pear blossom in the rain. She reached out her hand and rubbed Xie Lin's brow vigorously. She said in a trembling voice: "Stop being like this, okay? You're not As a person, you and I, whatever unhappiness you have, whatever pain you have, I am willing to share it with you..."

Xie Lin felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. Why would he want to do this?

Last semester, he encountered Gemma's betrayal, and was forced to fall out with Hermione. There was also a mysterious student organization "Ghost Society" involved behind it. Can he tell these things?

After the summer vacation, Meredith's whereabouts are unknown, the big trouble behind the Dragon's Shadow, Draco's changes, Crazy-Eye Moody's strange behavior, the collapse of the plot... one thing after another happened one after another. Come, and almost everything is beyond his control. He has too many worries and pressures in his heart, and he doesn't even have time to feel sadness.

"Actually, I've always known it, it's just that I didn't say it..." Murray's voice trembled even more, and she finally mustered up the courage to speak out what was in her heart, "Occlumency, right? You know the brain Occlumency, and very accomplished, right? You don’t have to hide it from me anymore, your eyes... I know... those are the eyes of an Occlumency practitioner... hollow, without emotion..."

"Murray, I..." Xie Lin hesitated for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh, "I'm sorry. I do know Occlumency, and I have been using it to hide my true emotions. But it’s not that I don’t trust you.”

"I am a selfish person," Xie Lin said bitterly to himself. "I have always known this. I have my own goals and my own purposes, but I don't have the courage to let anyone know. Because I am afraid, I I’m afraid that when you know who I really am, you will leave me.”

Murray reached out and touched Xie Lin's handsome face, "Do you know that any magic has a corresponding price? This price can be magic power, physical strength, or even life. Occlumency, this is both Do you know what the price is for magic that doesn’t require a wand and doesn’t require magic?”

"I have no idea……"

Murray's face was full of heartache and pity, "Emptying all emotions is only the most basic principle of Occlumency. To get more advanced, you need to forcibly suppress emotions, even to the point of completely shutting down the functions of the brain that correspond to emotions. When you deny all your emotions, deny the pain and sorrow, deny the cracks in your heart, and suppress the inner conflicts of your personality... your character and your soul will be distorted, destroyed, and even torn apart..."

Xie Lin suddenly realized that this was the reason why his mental magic and soul magic had improved by leaps and bounds recently - he had suppressed his longing and sadness for Meredith, and he had suppressed his anxiety and fear of Draco. , he suppressed all the pain in his heart...

The more suppressed it is, the more damaged the soul will be, and the more powerful the soul will be?

So, do Dumbledore and Voldemort like playing mysteries so much?

"Did you know? Even though your eyes have no emotion, more and more creases are appearing between your eyebrows. Your heart is overwhelmed and is asking for help -" Murray's voice was It's so heartbreaking, "I beg you, Xie Lin, please pay attention to your own emotions and stop trying to carry all the pain by yourself..."

From Yi Ren's gentle words, Xie Lin felt deep and pure concern. This made him feel warm in his heart, and he thought of Narcissa, and even his nagging parents in his previous life. It seemed that he was really lucky, and there was always no shortage of "love" around him.

Xie Lin smiled, sincerely. Never mind Voldemort, Dumbledore, or the Shadow of the Dragon!

No matter how many thorns and troubles there are in the future, if you can't grasp the happiness of this moment, wouldn't you have wasted your life again?

Schelling undoes Occlumency.

The faces of Meredith and Draco appeared in my mind, and a burst of intense grief hit my heart, mixed with fear, uneasiness, helplessness, bitterness, gloom and all kinds of negative emotions. It seemed that my heart could not bear the excessive emotions. Twitching, Xie Lin's body couldn't help but tremble.

Mo Rui's eyes finally brightened. She gently held Xie Lin's head in her arms and said softly: "If you want to cry, just cry. Sometimes it's sexy for men to cry."

The aroma of Murray's body spread into his nose, and Xie Lin felt the warmth of the person in front of him. His eyes became hot, and tears finally burst out uncontrollably. He swallowed and said: "Murray, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I I can never save Mei! I'm afraid that Draco has really become my enemy! I'm afraid that the path I'm going to take is wrong! I'm afraid that I will bring everyone around me to disaster! I'm so afraid... …”

Murray gently stroked Xie Lin's back with his jade hands, comforting him in a low voice, and a relieved smile finally appeared on his face.

The two of them were intoxicated with each other's time, but no one noticed that the strange black energy that originally came with Xie Lin's magic was slowly dissipating from his body, and the magic that stripped away the black energy was like the purest The stream flowed happily through his body, turning into colorful colors.
