A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts
Chapter 36: Leaving it to luck is not safe
After the Quidditch season started, Hogwarts seemed to be ignited with passion, both students and teachers were particularly excited.
This kind of enthusiasm did not slowly drop until more than a week after the end of the season.
The students attended class as usual and completed the homework assigned by the teacher as much as possible. Everything seemed to be back to the way it was when school first started.
However, these days, we often see Harry, Ron and Hermione in the library. A top student and two bad students travel among the sea of books whenever they have time.
But it was not for studying, but for looking up information about Nico Flamel.
Harry and Ron were convinced that Snape's purpose was to be guarded by the three-headed dog Fluffy, so it was crucial to find out what Fluffy was guarding.
It is obviously unrealistic to expect Dumbledore to tell them, and it may also alert the enemy, so I can only focus on Nico Flamel, and maybe find some clues from this mage's information.
Hermione knew that it was not Snape who killed Harry, but someone else, but she promised Aaron to keep it a secret and not tell the truth.
The reason why she followed them to find information about Nico Flamel was because she guessed that the purpose of the person who harmed Harry was also something that Maomao was guarding.
The library is very large, with tens of thousands of books in it, densely packed bookshelves, and hundreds of narrow passages. Finding a name in these books is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Naturally, they can't look for them one by one, so they have to find the Year of the Monkey, the Horse and the Moon.
Several people speculated that since Nico Flamel had some relationship with Dumbledore, the most powerful white magician in the world, he was at least a great mage, so they shortened the scope of their search to books recording great wizards in modern times.
But they searched for more than ten days but could not find Nico Flamel's name in these books. Of course, it may also be because they did not work hard enough.
After all, they only looked for information in their spare time, and a dozen days of spare time were only enough for them to roughly read less than a hundred books, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the entire library.
...
That night, Aaron lay on the bed in the lounge, hugging the dragon-shaped pillow that was already asleep, and silently opened his personal panel.
[Host: Aaron Gaius]
[Magic energy: 950 (intermediate magician, your magic journey has just begun)]
[Talent: rare in a century (can be improved, magic power increases by 2 points every day)]
[Items: Moon Drops (can remove any negative spells), Resurrection Potion (can resurrect any creature that dies within an hour)]
[Magic points: 888 (check in at Hogwarts, increase by 10 points a day)]
"It's almost time. If you work hard for more than half a month, you can be promoted to a senior magician." Aaron thought with some excitement. When he saw the number of magic points, he nodded with satisfaction.
Not for anything else, just for this auspicious number, what a good sign!
"System, open the magic mall."
"Okay, it has been turned on for the host."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mall interface appeared in front of Aaron's eyes.
[Magic category: @Transfiguration (1000 magic points, including Animagus); @Water Resistance Spell (100 magic points, can breathe freely underwater); @Levitation Spell (10 magic points ); @Patronus Charm (200 magic points); @Phantom Movement (800 magic points). 】

"Huh!" Aaron took a long breath, excited and helpless at the same time.
He looked at the magic carpet that he had longed for, decisively placed an order, and received it into his system space.
After buying such things, Aaron only had 688 magic points left, but the remaining products allowed him to truly experience what it means to have your cake and eat it too.
He simply ignored the material goods. Those things were available on the market and he had no use for the time being.
But the remaining items and magic types are all what he wants, but with his current 'financial resources' he can only choose a small part.
After thinking for a while, Aaron set his sights on the elixir, gritted his teeth, and chose to buy it.
He has not forgotten that there is still a big battle to be fought this semester. To deal with a lingering Dark Lord, absolute strength is required.
But now he just doesn't have that strength, so he can only take the wrong path and focus on luck.
As long as you are lucky, even if you are charging into battle, the bullets will go around you, and the same goes for the magic spell.
Of course, the amount of luck that can be improved is definitely limited, but sometimes what is missing is that little bit of good luck.
Looking at the small bottle of Fuling Elixir in his hand, Aaron frowned, "Is this... two hundred milliliters?"
"The host must learn to be content. Taking a small sip will bring you good luck in the next twelve hours. This small bottle is enough for the host to use it several times."
Aaron didn't speak, which was regarded as acquiescing to this statement, but this could only be regarded as psychological comfort.
If you put all your money on luck and think everything will be fine, it is basically the same as seeking death.
After all, the opponent is the Dark Lord. Even if it is just a remnant soul, it is not something he can defeat now. The first curse can be avoided by luck, but the second one may not be possible.
Thinking of this, Aaron silently made a decision in his heart. At worst, he would play a big role when the time comes.
For the next period of time, an owl sent a package to Aaron every day.
In addition to Abe's dragon package, Jeans also sent some books and two mysterious small boxes.
"What is this?" One morning, Draco picked up a box from Aaron's package and asked curiously.
"The thing you have on your hand should be a magic ring from the Middle Ages, an antique that is thousands of years old."
"Wow!" Draco couldn't help but sigh, "But what are you doing with this thing?"
"I can't tell you this. Of course I have my uses." Aaron pretended to be mysterious and said, "Why don't you seize the time to study? Don't forget the bet you made with Hermione!"
"I won't forget it." Draco blushed, and then couldn't help showing a little frustration, "But I don't have that much confidence now.
You don't know, I originally thought that I worked hard enough, and even my performance during this period exceeded my father's expectations. He even wrote a letter to praise me a few days ago.
To be honest, my father has never praised me so seriously. "
"Isn't this very good? A good son is like a father. This proves that your efforts during this period have not been in vain." Aaron said meaningfully. Draco's talent is still very good. He has been exploring it for several months. They are the top few in the first grade.
"That's true." Draco scratched his golden hair in embarrassment, "But when I went to the library before, Granger almost scared me. There were so many books on her table. thick."
As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hand, which was about two feet.
Aaron's eyes twitched. He knew Hermione liked to study, but this studying attitude was quite surprising.
"Ahem! People who are better than you are still working hard, so what reason do you have for not working hard?"
“But now I feel like I’ve seen the end.
No, it's not as if, I'm not the kind of person who can't recognize the reality. I probably won't win this bet. "
"Are you giving up on yourself?" Aaron smiled, "Draco, do you know the difference between a miserable defeat and a sad defeat?"
Draco was stunned for a moment and said thoughtfully: "I think there is no difference, they are all failures."
"That's right." Aaron nodded in agreement, then stood up and patted his shoulder, "But you need to seriously consider this issue at this time."
"What's the meaning?"
Aaron patted his forehead and explained: "What you and Hermione are comparing are scores. The full score is 100 points. She can get 100 points. It's not impossible if you work harder, right?"
"Well...I am indeed a little sure of getting perfect marks in the exam now, but only a little bit."
"Then it's over. If you work hard, you still have hope of a tie. But if you lose, you will regretfully lose with 99 points. Compared with the disastrous defeat with 80 points, you will be far behind. Which one to choose?”
"Of course ninety-nine." Draco said immediately, seeming to understand something.
"That's right! Even if you lose in this situation, it's still an honor to lose.
To put it mildly, at least losing is not that ugly and no one will gossip about you.
In the future, when you see Hermione Granger, you can still hold your chest up confidently, at least without feeling guilty. "
"I know what to do." Draco said, and then pulled up Crabbe and Goyle who were standing aside. "Get up, you two, follow me to the library to study."
