Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 144 Cedric and Luna

The Hufflepuff Common Room is located underground, on the basement level of the castle, along with the Slytherin Dungeon.But the environments of the two are completely different. The Slytherin dungeon is cold and damp, and through the glass, you can see the scene in the depths of the Black Lake.But the Hufflepuff common room is always sunny, with round windows looking out at dandelions and swaying grass.

The Hufflepuff common room is also filled with plush sofas and chairs with yellow and black patterns and burnished copper edges, which are very comfortable, welcoming Hufflepuff students to relax here, or talk about those things that were given by the head of the school. Interesting specimen brought by Professor Sprout.

This year's Cedric Diggory is already a fourth-year student. Last year, he became Mr. Al's assistant. Many people laughed at him because of this, especially the Slytherin students. As for Hedge Patch's classmates were more puzzled, they didn't understand why Cedric was willing to be a Nixie's assistant - until Cedric successfully made the first automatic casting wand, all these noises Disappeared, turned into jealousy and admiration.

"He can't do anything without Professor Highmore! Cedric is a liar!"

Marcus Flint has always looked down on Cedric, and he spread similar rumors everywhere in the school, but Cedric's reaction completely disappointed him——Cedric himself had no heart to slander like this, he Worked on getting a second magic circle on the wand, and managed to make a true self-casting wand - not just for disarming spells, but for all spells.

Throughout the vacation, he was pondering the feasibility of this matter, but the result was hopeless: the difficulty of successfully engraving the second magic circle was infinitely greater than the first one, because this time he had to consider not only It's just the influence of the wand itself, plus the influence of the magic circle of the Disarming Curse.

This is only the second magic circle, and when it is necessary to engrave the third, fourth, or even fifth way, the difficulty will continue to increase each time, even if it takes a lifetime, it cannot be solved.

The only hope Cedric could see seemed to be Professor Highmore's magic ball, which wasn't even a wand at all.And according to Professor Haimo, it is more difficult to use the magic ball easily than the wand. It is far from being easy to do with wand gestures and spells. You must understand the more complicated magic circle in advance.

The thought that he might never be able to achieve the goal of the self-casting wand made Cedric inevitably become depressed.

This is not a common situation for him, Cedric is not bad in the academy, and he has achieved an achievement that no one else can get in the ancient magic exam last year-creating a magic weapon that can automatically cast disarm. The magic wand of the curse - he gained the favor of a wave of Hufflepuff students even more.

So, when the frustrated Cedric walked out of the dormitory and came to the common room, many people asked him with concern: "Cedric, what's wrong with you? Take it easy, the new semester will start again in a while It's the Quidditch match, and everyone is counting on you."

"It's nothing." Cedric smiled reluctantly. He was used to doing this for a long time, and he didn't want to bring more negative emotions to the people around him.

"I still have something to do. I have to go to Professor Haimer's office."

Upon hearing this, the little badgers stopped persuading immediately, and instead all showed an expression of "I understand you"—now they have all been baptized by the mummy rooster, except for the first-year freshmen, who learned It was still a magic circle class, but the after-class reactions of the senior students still frightened them a lot—is there anything more terrifying than the death of a professor in class?
For this, the only ones who felt lucky were the students in the seventh grade. They were about to graduate, and they didn't have to suffer from more black devils.

Cedric has long been accustomed to this, but he still habitually said a few good words for Professor Haimer, but unfortunately no one believed him at all, and at most he could only sigh with emotion: "Poor Cedric, he has already He has completely become a servant of the black devil."

"Don't talk nonsense." Cedric laughed and quarreled with these people for a while, just as a joke.

He left the common room and came to the gate of the ancient magic office familiarly, wondering why Professor Haimo asked him to come here.

Although he is Mr. Al's assistant, this year, due to the particularity of the course, Professor Haimer told him that he doesn't need to come every day like last semester.At first Cedric thought that he had made some mistakes to offend Professor Haimer, but he no longer thought so after the first ancient magic class—immortality, this sounds like a very mysterious thing Knowledge, Cedric thought he was far from that goal.

Coupled with Professor Haimer's special teaching method, can't I let myself take care of the cock?
It might be more reliable to take care of Xixiu, or to watch Professor Haimer not to put the pharaoh mask on his face.

Cedric knocked on the door. He hadn't been to the ancient magic office for a long time, and even the pharaoh's coffin facing the door seemed a lot more friendly.

"Professor, do I—er, need help?"

Cedric looked suspiciously at Professor Highmore moving—a wall?He didn't know what it was either.

"Oh, are you here?"

Toby said without looking back: "You sit on the sofa first, and we can talk after I finish my work."

Cedric was shocked to see that the thick wall was moved by Professor Haimer to the real corner, and then it fell to the ground with a bang, which sounded like a deadly sink.

Could it be that Professor Haimer has a giant bloodline?
After he sat down on the sofa in a daze, he realized that there was already a person sitting on it. The other person was a freshman. Cedric recognized the girl through her blonde hair, and vaguely remembered that she was assigned to Ravenclaw College.

Now the girl is keeping her head down, with a black notebook on her lap, writing and drawing non-stop, without paying any attention to the wonders in the ancient magic office—this is completely impossible for Cedric Yes, if you don't even care about the coffin and skeleton, then where did this girl live before?Haunted castle?
【Mom, the boy next to me is a little strange, he always stares at me. 】

【Honey, don't care about other people's eyes, it doesn't matter, not everyone can see through a person's heart.Alright, let's move on, what weird collection of ice cubes are you talking about?What does the frozen stuff look like? 】

Luna avoided Cedric's gaze, turned her head and glanced at the ice cubes in the corner of the room, the rubber earrings hanging on her ears were shaking slightly, and the surface was also engraved with a black skull pattern, which came from Professor Haimer A present for Mr. Lovegood - a cork of Black Devil's wine.

As for the huge ice block that stayed in the office last year, it has not shown any signs of melting even after a whole year has passed.

[I can't see it, Mom.But I always feel that there is a devil living in it. 】

【Do you really think so?Creative ideas and abilities Perhaps this Mr. Highmore should also be a spell experimenter, he would be a good colleague. 】

[Maybe, Mom.I'm just】

[Just what? 】

[It's just that I've never seen a person as determined and confused as him.Do you really think he could be a spell experimenter? 】

【Oh dear, is Dumbledore still alive?Is he still the Headmaster of Hogwarts? 】

[Yeah, what's the matter? 】

[It's nothing, dear.Since the principal is still there, it's nothing. 】
