The Occult Warlock of Hogwarts

"It worked pretty well," DeWitt recalled, "but I had to watch it a few more times."

After making sure that he had memorized each step thoroughly, DeWitt picked up the pistol and shotgun, and, accompanied by Ms. Feier, went to the basement to start practicing.

Nowadays, shooting is one more item that is necessary in daily life.

"Without magic, how many bullets can a wizard carry?" DeWitt has been saying this lately: "A wizard's reaction is faster than a bullet."

Although a large-caliber shotgun cannot penetrate the obstacle spell that Ms. Feier placed casually, this does not prevent DeWitt from attaching great importance to the power of firearms.

Wizards generally do not maintain protective spells at all times. Flesh and blood bodies will still be torn apart when faced with steel and gunpowder. After complete death, no matter how expensive the potion is, it cannot be saved. But DeWitt is different. His

The power will be with him in the form of invisible armor. Whether it is physical damage or magical attack, it will not have any impact until his passive protection is completely defeated.

Guns are a good thing. They are not electrified and will not be affected by magic, so when he returned to Hogwarts at the beginning of the new school year, DeWitt brought new equipment.

On the train, DeWitt met Hermione, with the doll Dinah sitting on her shoulders looking like a decoration.

"Is this good?" He was a little worried: "Will it be exposed?"

"It doesn't matter," Hermione replied: "Dina likes to go out. I bring a doll with me. It's just a few gossips. I don't care."

Harry and Ron were sitting across from each other in the train compartment, and DeWitt asked Harry if Dobby had appeared again.

"I almost forgot about it," Harry said, "I never saw him again."

The days when he left the Dursleys and lived at Ron's house were the happiest times in Harry's life. It was a completely different lifestyle, with friends accompanying him when he opened his eyes, and at mealtimes, there would be steaming food to fill his stomach.

, everyone was very friendly, and DeWitt also visited the Burrow of the Weasley family during this period. Their friendship took a further step and they became friends who were willing to be together. Harry forgot all his worries.

Clean and tidy.

Talking about what happened in the first year of Hogwarts, Harry also mysteriously talked about the treasure in the restricted area and asked DeWitt to guess what was hidden in the restricted area - of course it was the Sorcerer's Stone. DeWitt admired it.

Li said with a surprised expression.

"Who does it have to do with?" Harry still didn't give up.

"Did Professor Dumbledore talk to you?" DeWitt remembered that Harry Potter was famous because Voldemort died at Harry's hands. Now that Voldemort is not dead, Harry may be useful again?<

/p>

"I know a little bit about the inside story," he said with the classic hand gesture: "You know I helped Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest, Voldemort."

Ron was numb when Harry said "Voldemort", but it was the first time he heard the word "Voldemort" from DeWitt, and he immediately became confused: "You...how do you say there is a mother who is a wizard?"

——Why do you say this name!"

"That's a name!" Hermione couldn't help but say, "What's there to be afraid of?"

"Names can be enchanted. When some names are spoken, the owner of the name will know, not only who called it, but also the location," DeWitt said. "Other names, after they are spoken once,

It will echo in the same place forever."

"Since you know, why do you still use...that title?" Ron asked incomprehensibly.

"Because Voldemort is too weak," DeWitt said honestly: "I don't have to fear him, and I don't have to respect him."

Ron was amused, but he didn't believe it at all: "Oh, stop making trouble - this joke is not interesting enough."

DeWitt looked at Hermione, smiled knowingly, spread his hands and said, "Okay, of course you can think I'm joking."

Hermione rolled her eyes at DeWitt. It seemed nothing on the surface, but she was also secretly happy in her heart - because now she was the only one who knew what DeWitt's words meant. When she lowered her head again, she couldn't read the book anymore.

When DeWitt was around, all interesting things seemed boring. Hermione simply put the book away and focused on chatting until she arrived at Hogwarts.

At the sorting ceremony at the opening banquet, DeWitt saw his "acquaintances" - Luna Lovegood and Emma Gross who lived near the village of Ottery Saint Catchpole.

Man.

Luna was sorted into Ravenclaw, Emma was sorted into Slytherin, and there was no sign of the expected scene where Emma was sorted into Azkaban. DeWitt saw that Dumbledore did not behave abnormally, and he

I also felt relieved. It seemed that Emma should be just like the other newly admitted students, very normal, or maybe she had some way of deceiving the Sorting Hat.

And the little sister of the Weasley family, a shy little girl, Ginny, like other Weasleys, was sorted into Gryffindor.

When Ginny walked to the Gryffindor table amidst applause, the Sorting Ceremony was coming to an end. Dumbledore stood up and welcomed Gilderoy Lockhart as the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

p>

Originally, as usual, the welcome ceremony was as simple as this, but Gilderoy Lockhart wiped his neatly blond hair, stood up under the astonished gazes of the other professors, and stood facing Dumbledore's calm and smiling eyes.

Find your speaking position and start speaking.

No one has ever found the opening ceremony so difficult to endure. Even Hermione found it baffling: "What is he doing? Stealing Professor Dumbledore's limelight?"

"Aren't you a fan of his?" DeWitt started to get disgusted: "What? Aren't you happy to see your idol speak?"

"What did you say? That's so annoying. Let me tell you, first of all, I just like the books he wrote," Hermione declared angrily: "Of course - I don't hate him as a person, but that's just because I

I don’t hate all people with real abilities. Lockhart is far more wrong than Professor Dumbledore. He should respect Professor Dumbledore.”

"What about me?" DeWitt muttered angrily, not mentioning the deeds in other worlds, just talking about the past year: "Killing Voldemort, chatting and laughing with Dumbledore, being able to learn from Nick Flamel...

…Isn’t this awesome?”

"You're so ashamed!" Hermione scolded him with a blushing face: "Don't you blush when you brag?"

No one listened to what Lockhart said, and it was not important. It was nothing more than recounting his legendary experiences and promoting his book.

After Lockhart finished his speech and the banquet came to the most important step of "eating", DeWitt said: "This is a straw bag!"

Hermione responded noncommittally: "Maybe you are right, but so far, Lockhart is still a popular wizard. I won't believe it without evidence."
