Hogwarts: This wizard wants to make progress too much

In the future, if I get my hands on any magical creatures that Hagrid is interested in, I can trade them with him.

"Don't be polite, sit anywhere!"

As Hagrid spoke, he also released Fang.

As soon as the dog was let go, it rushed to Ethan's feet, whimpering in a flattering manner.

"This is Ron Weasley!"

"This is Ethan Adrien!"

Harry introduced the two to Hagrid, since they didn't know each other.

Hagrid, who was preparing refreshments, turned his head, looked at Ron's red hair and freckled face, and said with some headache:

"I've spent almost half my life trying to drive those Weasley twins out of the Forbidden Forest."

Seriously, heaven knows how much my workload has increased since those twins came to school.

Ron's face turned red, not knowing what to say. He knew his twin brothers all too well; they were definitely number one when it came to causing trouble.

Fortunately, Hagrid only mentioned it once and didn't bring it up again.

Soon, Hagrid prepared the refreshments: rock cakes and hot tea.

Harry and Ron struggled to bite off a few crumbs from the rock cakes, but still pretended to enjoy them very much.

Although Ethan's physical fitness had been strengthened, and his teeth had also been strengthened accordingly, he still didn't want to try the taste of the rock cakes, so he broke off a piece and secretly fed it to Fang at his feet.

I don't know if Fang had been eating rock cakes since he was a child, but he seemed to be quite accustomed to it and ate it with relish.

"Take more when you're done, I have plenty of rock cakes here, don't be polite!"

When Hagrid noticed that Ethan was almost finished with the rock cake in his hand, he greeted Ethan with great pleasure.

"No need, one is enough for me."

Ethan quickly shook his head and refused.

Harry and Ron naturally knew what was going on, but Fang wouldn't go near them, so even if they wanted to feed the dog, they couldn't.

"By the way, Hagrid, do you know where I can find frogs?"

He had just obtained the recipe for the Baruffio's Brain Elixir today, but frog brains were not easy to get. Frog dishes wouldn't appear on the Hogwarts dining table, otherwise he could have cooperated with the cafeteria. Ethan hadn't found any in Snape's Potions classroom either.

Trapped in Hogwarts for the time being, Ethan really didn't know where to find them except for the Forbidden Forest.

"As for frogs, there are plenty by the pond in the east, but they should all be hiding now, unless you dig them out."

Hagrid pointed in a direction and said to Ethan, without any intention of hiding anything.

Although he didn't know Ethan before, he must be Harry's friend since he was introduced by Harry, and Harry's friend is his friend.

"I see!"

"Then, Hagrid, does Hogsmeade sell frogs?"

If they were all by the pond, a Summoning Charm would solve the problem, but it was impossible for Ethan to dig for frogs now, it was too much trouble, so this path was blocked.

Diagon Alley or Knockturn Alley must sell them, but unless he used an Undetectable Extension Charm box to transport them, otherwise relying on owls, how many could he buy? The postage would probably be more expensive.

Also, those three good-for-nothings are wanted and don't dare to leave Knockturn Alley, otherwise they could transport the frogs to Hogsmeade and give them to me.

"Bruce's Pet Shop has them, some little critters like to eat mice and frogs." As he spoke, Hagrid seemed to remember something and immediately added: "You can't go to Hogsmeade until you're in third year, you can't go yet, don't sneak off. If you need frogs, I can help you bring them back."

"Okay, if I need it, I'll ask you for help."

Ethan skipped over the topic. If Hagrid brought them, the quantity wouldn't be too large at a time, after all, a large backlog would easily lead to death.

The Baruffio's Brain Elixir requires fresh frog brains, and the death time cannot exceed one hour.

As long as he knew they were available, he could use an Undetectable Extension Charm box to go once and clear out all the frogs in the store.

Ethan didn't just plan to use the Baruffio's Brain Elixir himself, he could also sell it for money, and the sales would definitely not be a problem, especially for students in the fifth, sixth, and seventh years.

"Hagrid, is Snape targeting me because of my parents?"

Harry remembered that Hagrid had been the key keeper at Hogwarts for many years and was also friends with his parents, maybe he would know about this.

"Doesn't Snape treat all students like that?"

"Especially when facing Gryffindors."

Hagrid avoided Harry's eyes, speaking intermittently, it could only be said that he really couldn't lie.

Seeing that Hagrid was unwilling to say more, Harry had no choice but to give up. It was the same to ask his aunt when he got back.

However, this also made Harry even more certain that something must have happened between Snape and his parents back then.

Then, when Harry saw the article in the Daily Prophet about the Gringotts robbery on July 31st, he asked Hagrid some questions.

Hagrid's deliberate avoidance was even more obvious, and he tried to shut Harry up with a rock cake.

On the way back, the three of them filled their pockets with rock cakes, because Hagrid was too enthusiastic, and the three of them couldn't refuse.

It's just that after Harry left Hagrid's hut, he had even more questions in his mind.

He was already thinking about Snape and his aunt's family, and now there was also the package from Gringotts. He always suspected that the Gringotts robber wanted to rob the package that Hagrid had taken in advance.

Chapter 41: Fiendfyre Curse

At ten o'clock in the evening, Ethan appeared in the Room of Requirement on time, and took more than a dozen pieces of parchment from Peter, all of which he had written today.

The previous two days were mainly about Transfiguration and Alchemy, and now he was writing about Charms and Potions.

And the principle and usage of the Fiendfyre Curse was what Peter wrote today.

At this rate, Peter's brain would be drained tomorrow.

After asking for a room to practice magic, Ethan walked into it.

Inside were several large targets, specifically for testing magic. Besides that, there was only a set of tables and chairs for rest.

In the rest area, Ethan read Peter's records about the Fiendfyre Curse, as well as his experience from the one time he successfully cast it.

When learning the Fiendfyre Curse, you don't need a spell, but you must remember the specific magic operation route and release this magic power.

The most important thing is to have the emotion of destroying everything in your heart, release the inner destructive desire, and transform it into a substantial flame to burn everything.

Emotion is the most important point. If the emotion is not strong enough, it will not be released successfully.

However, because the desire for destruction is too strong, the Fiendfyre Curse is extremely difficult to control and can easily hurt oneself.

That's pretty much it for Ethan's situation.

He can't use it when his emotions are lacking, but it's extremely difficult to control when his emotions are too strong. This leads to a low usage rate, but Ethan doesn't have this problem!

First of all, according to the ability of the 'Heart of Darkness' talent, while improving his Dark Arts talent, he doesn't need any emotional assistance to use Dark Arts.

In other words, as long as Ethan masters the magic power operation method of the Fiendfyre Curse, he can cast it whenever he wants.

And the 'Flame Affinity' talent gives Ethan a natural control over fire magic, the combination of the two is simply perfect.

However, for the first time, Ethan still needs emotional assistance to find the feeling of release, and then he will remove this step after finding the feeling.

He began to operate according to the magic power route written by Peter on the parchment, and then condensed the emotions of destruction and annihilation into flames.

Soon, a wisp of crimson flame that was frightening floated out from the tip of the wand, and then quickly expanded. Although there were not many combustibles around, Ethan's magic power was the best accelerant. A steady stream of flames continued to spew out, until everything around, such as tables, chairs, and targets, were burned to ashes, turning into a sea of fire.

In this process, Ethan was also constantly controlling the direction of the flame, and finally turned it into a fire tornado revolving around himself.

If Ethan could pay attention to the panel at this moment, he could see that the proficiency level of the Fiendfyre Curse had jumped to three in just a short while.

It can only be said that the multiple learning talents, Dark Arts talent, wizard talent, spell talent, the improvement of thinking ability, and the increase of the 'Heart of Flame' talent are stacked too terrifyingly.

As the flames became more and more vigorous, Ethan not only didn't have the feeling of being about to lose control, but on the contrary, he became more and more skilled.

Until Ethan completely cut off the supply of magic power, the fire no longer expanded, but Ethan still had control.

Gradually, the fire tornado began to differentiate, turning into fire phoenixes and fire dragons, and letting these creatures run around the entire transfiguration field.

During this process, Ethan was having a great time.

Is this considered magical transfiguration?

After a little thought, Ethan felt that it was not, after all, magical transfiguration is a perfect change of its essence, rather than just a shape.

Now this is just the characteristic of the Fiendfyre Curse. The shape of the transfiguration is a fire phoenix or a fire dragon, but the components are still Fiendfyre, without the slightest ability of a fire dragon or a fire phoenix.

"Mjolnir!"

A thunderous sound rang in his ears, and a thunder hammer with a diameter of more than ten meters fell suddenly, directly smashing the fire phoenix in mid-air into a sky full of sparks. These sparks did not go out but landed on the ground.

And with a thought from Ethan, these sparks quickly gathered, forming a giant wolf made of flames running on the ground.

Sure enough, even in the face of powerful magical attacks, Fiendfyre cannot be extinguished, it still has to wait until the magic power is exhausted.

Ethan guessed that the reason why Finite Incantatem can deal with Fiendfyre Curse and fire escape body protection magic is essentially a spell that uses his own magic power to eliminate magic, using magic power to fight against magic power.

Finite Incantatem is like this. Ethan has already learned this magic, which is used to undo the casting of some other spells, and can also be used to resist the spells sent by the opponent, and Finite Incantatem is an upgraded version of Finite Incantatem.

As Ethan became more and more proficient in operating the Fiendfyre Curse, Ethan gradually walked to the side of the Fiendfyre. Intuition told Ethan that he would not be harmed by the Fiendfyre Curse.

Believing in his intuition, Ethan stretched his hand into the body of the fire dragon composed of Fiendfyre. He could feel the temperature rising, but there was indeed no harm. Not only that, but even the wizard robe was intact.

How stupid would you have to be to be hurt by your own magic!

It's just that when Ethan wanted to control the Fiendfyre to dissipate, he found that he still couldn't do it. The magic power in the flame had not been exhausted yet, so he couldn't make it dissipate directly. Perhaps he could only achieve free control when the Fiendfyre Curse was at full level.

Fortunately, it was not released outside, otherwise, if there were more combustibles, without Finite Incantatem, who knows how big it would burn.

After consuming most of it, Ethan left the Room of Requirement.

When observing the panel, he suddenly found that the Fiendfyre Curse was already at level six, which can be said to be the fastest-leveling magic.

Chapter 42: Hogsmeade Village

"If you want a dream to come true, what do you need to do first?"

"Wake up!"

Accompanied by Ethan's answer, the door of the common room opened in response.

"Where did you go?"

Walking on the way back to the dormitory, Ethan suddenly heard a deep voice coming from behind, vaguely revealing a hint of resentment.

Suddenly, Ethan felt goosebumps all over his body. Who is this?

He was just in a hurry to go back to the dormitory, and didn't pay attention at all, and at this time, no one would be in the common room!

"Senior, please don't scare me!"

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief when he turned his head and saw who it was.

"Who scared you? I'm such a big person here, can't you see me?"

"Tell me, where did you go in the middle of the night?"

Penelope came to Ethan with her arms crossed. She had felt that Ethan was not quite right this week. He was getting up later in the morning, and he looked like he hadn't slept well.

Obviously, he said that he wasn't picky about the bed on the first day, so it was impossible for him to have insomnia.

In order to find out, she deliberately came over to squat today. It's just that it's not good to run to the boys' dormitory in the middle of the night, otherwise, she would have to go in and check it out.

"Went for a night run!"

Ethan looked directly into Penelope's eyes and said with certainty.

"Night run? It's almost three o'clock now. You're telling me you went for a night run at this time. Do you think I'm brainless?"

"Tell me, did you go on a date with that little witch? Maybe senior can cover for you."

Penelope was so angry that her chest was about to explode, heaving up and down with the wizard robe.

"It's not early, senior, it's time to go to sleep. Staying up late is a woman's enemy."

Ethan felt a headache. He was actually blocked today.

Except for the first day, Ethan went out at about ten o'clock and came back at one or two o'clock. Today, he saw that he could rest and get up later, so he came back late and didn't expect to be blocked.

"Stop talking nonsense, honestly confess what you went to do at night, I'm a prefect."

Penelope pointed to the prefect badge on her chest that was heaving up and down.
