The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

The Weasley brothers, Simoneville and others who knew the inside story did not reveal anything about Loren.

Dumbledore did not tell the Ministry of Magic the specific process of capturing Peter Pettigrew, and the Ministry of Magic did not ask in detail.

In other words, no one dared to ask about things that Dumbledore didn't want to say. Fudge gained a lot of fame for nothing, and when he was happy, he didn't look for trouble.

It was even more impossible for the Daily Prophet to know the inside story. The others neatly remained silent due to Dumbledore's intervention.

Dumbledore had not discussed this matter with Loren, but the two had reached a tacit understanding. Dumbledore did it for some purpose of protecting students, while Loren felt that life was very good now and did not want to be exposed to the public eye.

In the afternoon, Loren did not take Hermione to practice. Frequent practice might trigger the talent for correction, but it was hard work. After practicing, summarizing and asking Flamel for more theoretical knowledge about the Iron Armor Curse in the evening is the right path.

Loren wrote and drew on paper, listed the spells one by one, classified them, selected the applicable ones, and tried to build his own combat system.

The last spell to achieve victory is not important. Whether it is a disarming spell, a stun spell, a crushing spell or even a life-killing spell, as long as it hits the enemy, it will remove his combat ability.

Defense, avoidance, and control before this are the keys to victory or defeat. Among the spells currently accessible, Loren builds a combat system based on three types of spells: defense, control, and attack.

The defensive spells are mainly the armor spell [armor protection] and the stopping spell [curse to stop].

Control spells include obstacle spells [Many Obstacles], confinement spells [Quick Confinement], and restraint spells [Petrify All].

The attack spells are the cutting spell [fall apart], the disarming spell [Expelliarmus], and the stun spell [faint].

Once you've mastered the above spells, all that's left is to develop your battle awareness in the virtual duel room.

There is no static system, Loren will continue to enrich and improve this system as he grows. New spells learned in the future, such as Apparition, Fierce Fire, Shenfeng Wuying, etc. will also be added to it.

Real magic masters, like Dumbledore and Grindelwald, will release the most appropriate spells in the shortest time and are good at using transformation spells to create difficult dilemmas for their opponents. It’s just that Loren is still far away from them.

Except for the Iron Armor Curse, Loren can practice all other spells on his own and can fully master them in about two months.

…

"Flamel, is my plan feasible?" Loren told Flammel what he thought.

Flamel pondered for a moment: "As a student, it is completely enough. You have to start from the basics."

Steps, breathing, and rhythm are more important factors in battle, but Flamel did not mention it. Loren will naturally understand it when he can use the duel room.

Loren asked for more detailed knowledge about the Iron Armor Curse, and compared the memory and correction content during the day, he summarized a more complete method of use.

…

Sunday, the day of the full moon.

Loren was tired from the moment she got up and couldn't cheer up. Loren has never been so worried about Bates since he learned he was a werewolf.

In the past, he lived next to Bates, knowing that he would go up to the mountain to lock himself up on a full moon night. Loren had no ability to do anything for Bates, but he always had to feel at ease when he was around.

Now that the two places are separated, it seems that there is more than just distance between them. At this time when the moon is about to be full, Loren's heart cannot calm down.

"Are you okay?" Ron noticed that Loren was eating slowly, which was really un-Loren.

Loren forced a smile: "It's okay."

Ron felt that the matter was serious. Loren was always the most energetic when eating. Yesterday he could eat a whole steak for breakfast.

Ron was about to say something else, but Hermione held him back and shook her head at him.

After dinner, Harry took Ron to the stadium to play.

Hermione sat next to Loren and looked at Loren's face.

"Follow me!" She pulled Loren out of the courtyard, to another staircase, and went up the escalator.

Under the big clock in the Hogwarts clock tower, there is a hollow attic. From here, you can see the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and most of the castle's pavilions.

Hermione pulled Loren to sit down and put her feet outside the attic. The wind passed through the attic from one side to the other. There was still some humid fog in the morning, and the orange-red morning sun spread soft light.

"I come here sometimes to relax. The broadened horizons will make me feel better." Hermione began to speak.

Loren guessed it was probably because Hermione didn't get along well with her roommate before.

"Actually, I already knew it!"

Loren was a little confused, what do you know?

"At the beginning, at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore, there were many books about magical creatures, goblins, trolls, vampires - I didn't even read it, so I immediately picked up the book about werewolves."

Turtle, she is really a know-it-all, she has noticed all this.

"I also read some information about werewolves. Werewolves will transform and lose their minds during the full moon. This is a painful process." Hermione's voice was a little low.

Thinking of Grandpa Bates's old face, Loren said nothing.

"And you come to me to practice spells. These are all signs."

Loren wondered, does my practice of spells have anything to do with Grandpa Bates being a werewolf?

"Tonight is the full moon, you must be feeling very uncomfortable right now." Hermione began to cry a little.

Something's not quite right.

"Loren, let's go find the professor later!" Hermione whimpered. She felt sad that her friend was a werewolf.

Loren realized that Hermione had mistaken him for a werewolf. Looking at the girl who was about to cry louder and louder, he quickly explained: "You are overthinking! I am not a werewolf!"

"Hmph -" Hermione hiccupped and stopped wiping her eyes, "Huh?"

Loren began to explain that Grandpa Bates was the werewolf, and he had a bad appetite because he was worried about Grandpa Bates.

Hermione felt like a fire was burning in her face. This is really shameful. You self-righteously guessed that someone was a werewolf, and then brought someone here to say some incomprehensible things.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I just made a wild guess." Hermione struggled to stand up in a panic, trying to leave the scene of social death.

"No, I'm glad to have a friend like you." Loren held her down, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

Loren was initially surprised by Hermione's careful observation and keen deliberation. Although the result is wrong, it is heartwarming in itself that someone is paying attention to your behavior and worrying about the difficulties you may encounter.

After comforting Hermione, the two began to chat about some trivial matters, about Hermione and her roommates, about the quarrel between Filch and Peeves, and about the tree over there full of orange berries...
