The Bard at Hogwarts

In the ancient runes class.

Looking at the happy little wizards, Ino shook his head helplessly.

It really fits the old saying, "You don't know how lucky you are when you have a lot of wealth, and you don't know how much you have when you have a mountain of treasure."

In the myth, Odin hung himself on a tree for nine days to obtain the knowledge. Ms. Ravenclaw was willing to bear the title of greedy raven. Such a precious thing, only 7-8 people in the entire third grade chose it.

What's more outrageous is that these few people are not happy for gaining knowledge, but are happy because the homework is simple.

But he can't interfere with other people's affairs. Everyone has to pay the price for their own choices.

And just as he was about to pack up and leave, a crisp voice came from behind him.

"Did you really see the book?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Ino turned around and chuckled, "It's obvious, isn't it? I hope that after learning the truth, the manager of the bookstore will not be so upset that he beats his chest and stamps his feet."

Hearing this, Hermione didn't speak, but her bright eyes were wide open, and her face was also hung with an expression of wanting to say something but not saying it.

Although she said nothing, her subtle eyes and small expressions were enough to show what she was thinking.

Seeing this scene, how could Ino not understand, but he didn't plan to show it to Hermione now. In just one month, this girl has almost become like this. Not only does she look tired, but her eyes are also full of bloodshot.

"I'll show you in the summer vacation, but not now. You need to adjust your state at present."

Hearing this, Hermione bit her lips lightly, with a hint of weakness and self-blame in her voice: "I know I'm in a bad state, but I can't..."

While speaking, her eyes were a little erratic, as if she was a little hesitant, but she didn't say anything about the time converter after all.

Keeping promises and being loyal to people, Ino nodded slightly. Hermione's performance was indeed good, and she didn't say anything just because they were friends.

Having said that, he still decided to nod a little, after all, he couldn't watch Hermione consume herself like this.

"Hermione! I suggest you stop a few classes." Ino said in a serious tone.

"Or talk to Prefect Weasley. The method you used may be problematic. It feels too extreme. If you continue like this, it will cause irreparable damage to your body and mind."

Hermione was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Ino also knew about this.

She lowered her head, and after a moment of silence, she sighed softly: "You mean, I... rely too much on the time converter?"

"Yes," Ino nodded, "Although the time converter is a powerful tool, it is not omnipotent. You need to arrange your time reasonably and use it in a planned way. Otherwise, even if you complete all the courses, you will lose more precious things."

Hermione raised her head, and a trace of determination flashed in her eyes: "I understand, I will talk to the prefect, maybe he can give me some advice."

After a pause, she added: "Thank you, Ino. You always help me when I need it most."

Ino smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, we are friends, and we should help each other. I just hope you don't go on like this, you really need to have a good rest."

Hermione nodded gently, and a long-lost smile appeared on her tired face.

...

In the corridor, Ino looked at Hermione's back as she left and sighed softly.

This girl seems to be born without understanding the ways of the world, or too strong. Although she looks much better now than in the original story, she still can't figure out some common sense questions.

For example, the time converter.

After all, the Ministry of Magic can approve students to use the time converter, which must be under safe conditions.

And Hermione's state looks like a product of improper operation.

After all, if everyone is in Hermione's state, let alone the Ministry of Magic, Professor McGonagall can't get through.

In fact, he probably guessed the reason for the whole thing. In fact, when thinking of Hermione's personality, the answer is obvious. It's probably because after getting the time converter, this girl didn't ask the experienced Percy for advice immediately, but chose to explore alone.

This makes people feel helpless. Percy can take twelve courses with ease, because he has the guidance of his elder brother Bill who also takes twelve courses. To put it bluntly, each college has a hidden inheritance.

Hermione, on the other hand, abandoned her inheritance and planned to forge her own path. To be honest, it was already remarkable that she could persist for a year under such circumstances.

Thinking of this, he planned to go back to the dormitory and write a letter to Percy. Some things still require human feelings, no matter where they are, this will never change.

Although Percy would not refuse Hermione's advice, there is a lot of knowledge about how to answer and how much to answer.

…

Along the moving stairs, Ino returned to the dormitory.

After writing a simple letter to Percy, he began to organize today's class content.

First of all, ancient runes never appeared and declined all at once.

Although the origin of magic cannot be traced, one thing is certain, ancient runes are an indispensable cornerstone in the tower of magic.

Because these runes correspond not only to ancient magic, but also to ancient alchemy.

The simplest example is the "talisman" mentioned by Professor Babeling today, which is actually the earliest alchemical product.

Perhaps in the Muggle world, amulets are just an ordinary product of psychological sustenance or a tool for making money. But in the magic world, amulets are really effective, and even the famous Nicolas Flamel has made them himself.

"Bassilisk... Alchemy..." Ino sighed softly.

Then he opened the notebook on the table. This is a well-made notebook with a dark brown leather cover.

If you carefully compare the pattern on it, you will definitely find that this is made from the shed skin of a basilisk.

But this is not the point. The point is that this notebook made of snake skin is actually translucent, like a ghost book, which makes people feel extremely mysterious at a glance.

On the cover of the notebook, there are two strange symbols written on it, namely the rune "hide" and the pattern in the eyes of the basilisk.

Ino turned to a new page, then took out a bottle of dark red ink from the drawer, and carefully wrote today's content on it, the ancient rune "f" symbolizing wealth, prosperity and abundance.

As the last stroke fell, the runes on it seemed to come alive. Just looking at it with your eyes, it symbolized wealth and prosperity.

"If this is written in the begging bowl, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life. You can definitely become the top of the industry..."

Ino chuckled and looked at the notebook on the table. This was already a successful amulet.

After all, he just dominated the mood of harvest yesterday. For today's rune, he understood it effortlessly, and even said that he was handy.

After the ink dried, Ino closed the notebook.

In fact, it is better to say that it is a collection of amulets than a notebook, because it has become the simplest alchemical product.

Perhaps when the whole book is really filled, whoever holds it in his hand will have a kind of "real luck" similar to the protagonist of the story. After all, a whole book of amulets... even if it is a gathering of sand into a tower, the effect cannot be ignored.

At the same time, after the notebook was closed, it slowly became transparent under the effect of the rune's "hiding" until it disappeared.

What’s interesting is that, perhaps because he personally made and copied the notes, even though they have disappeared, he can still feel their existence.

As long as he wants, he can find them accurately at any time, without the need for an oil lamp to illuminate them.
