The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The next day, when the tepid spring sunshine shone on the castle again, the Aurors also left Hogwarts.

In a sense, this means that Dumbledore still failed to convince Fudge after all.

But this was great news for the students. On this day, many of them ran out of the lounge early and had fun outside the castle after a long absence.

The reason why the students are so excited is naturally related to the lifting of martial law in Hogwarts.

But it was more because Professor Dumbledore canceled this year's final exams for ordinary students because the semester was about to end and all students were absent from class in large numbers.

(Of course, senior students still have to take the Wizarding Level Examination. Compared with other students, they can only be said to be unlucky.)

However, unlike other students, today's Hufflepuffs are not going anywhere...

"Link! Link! Wake up!"

In the dormitory, Link, who had just had a peaceful sleep, was shaken awake by the excited John.

But when he woke up, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Because their small dormitory was already full of people at this moment.

They all came to ask Link about what happened in the Forbidden Forest that night.

There were men and women, but the vast majority were student leaders like Cedric or upperclassmen.

As for the other Hufflepuffs, they were gathered in the corridor outside the dormitory.

Looking at those pairs of expectant and excited eyes, Link was speechless for a moment.

But under continuous questioning from John and Cedric, he finally told some deleted content.

Link could have sworn that he was telling the story using as boring and ordinary a narrative technique as possible, but for some reason, the students who were observing would let out exclamations from time to time, which made it difficult for people in the corridor to hear clearly. There was another commotion among the students.

After finally getting rid of the siege of John and the others, Link originally thought that this matter should be over.

But when he slowly came to the auditorium for breakfast, he found that the students from other houses were no less curious about this matter than the Hufflepuffs.

This resulted in Link being surrounded by a dense crowd as soon as he sat down.

Everyone was begging Link to tell the story of that night again.

This made Link look a little ugly.

Because if this trend continues, let alone breakfast, he won't even be able to eat lunch.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded from outside the crowd.

"Okay, please spread out, I don't want to say it a second time!"

Emily crossed her arms and said with a stern expression.

Beside her, there was a group of tall Slytherins standing.

This caused the students who had originally gathered around Link to disperse consciously.

They don't want to provoke the notorious 'Queen Victoria'.

"Thanks, Emily."

Looking at Emily sitting next to him after daring to leave everyone, Link breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon hearing this, Emily lowered her face, which was already blushing with embarrassment, and replied with a 'hmm' in an inaudible voice.

This kind of performance is completely different from the way she drove everyone away before.

But Link laughed.

He thought Emily was quite funny like this.

Accompanied by Emily in silence, Link finished his breakfast hastily, but did not choose to leave, but continued to tease Emily.

As for the other people in the auditorium, they had already pointed the finger of attack at the Hufflepuffs.

Although Link refused to say more, the other Hufflepuffs would not let go of this opportunity to show off.

They were very happy to tell the story of Link's deeds that they heard.

Of course, how much they have modified it is beyond Link's control.

While Link was teasing Emily, Harry and Hermione also came to Link's side.

At first, the three of them were a little afraid of Emily, who had returned to her original cold appearance.

But after chatting with Link for a few words and seeing that Emily didn't really respond much, he gradually let go.

"Link, have you heard?" Harry, who was gradually returning to normal, said excitedly, "The Malfoy family has been in bad luck recently!"

"Yes! My father just came back from searching the Malfoy house yesterday. He said that the Malfoy house is almost emptied out now!"

Ron also echoed in time.

Malfoy is unlucky, this is definitely what Harry and Ron are most happy to see.

But what would Harry's expression be like if he knew about Tom Riddle's complaints about Draco?

Thinking of this, Link couldn't help but laugh.

The three of them then talked about the Malfoy family for a while.

Although Link believed that the so-called "empty" scene at the Malfoy house was probably done by Lucius deliberately to make him look miserable, he didn't try to expose it because Harry and Ron were so happy.

Looking at the three people chatting happily, Hermione, who had been silent, bit her lip.

She actually wanted to ask how Link was doing from the very beginning.

It's a pity that Emily stared at her with a vigilant gaze from the beginning to the end, which made her very uncomfortable.

But now, she really couldn't help it anymore.

After quietly glancing at Emily, Hermione finally reached out her hand, ready to pull Link's sleeve to draw his attention to her side.

However, before her hands actually touched Link's sleeves, Arkham emerged from Link's sleeves.

After briefly looking into those golden snake eyes, a scream burst out from Hermione's mouth.

"ah!"

"what happened?"

Upon hearing the sound, Link and the other two people immediately looked over, while Emily, who had seen all this from beginning to end, covered her mouth and smiled, casting an approving look at Arkham.

"Snake, there is a snake!"

Hermione pointed at Arkham tremblingly, and then the three of them noticed Link's little head sticking out of his sleeves.

"Oh, don't be afraid," Link suddenly understood and touched Arkham's head before explaining, "This is my new pet, called Arkham."

"Pet, pet?"

Ron and Hermione stammered.

Neither of them could accept the fact that someone would keep a snake as a pet.

Harry, who was also a snake talker like Link, didn't have much fear. Not only was he not afraid, he even tentatively waved hello to Arkham.

It's a pity that after experiencing the Tom Riddle incident, Arkham had an instinctive dislike for all snake talk except Link.

Upon seeing this, Arkham not only didn't respond to Harry, but turned his head and dived directly back into Link's sleeve.

Harry looked a little embarrassed for a moment, while Link beside him laughed unceremoniously.

……

After chatting with Harry and others until the afternoon, Link successfully escaped and came to the Room of Requirement.

Unlike last time, this time the Room of Requirement has been transformed into a huge magic training ground according to Link's ideas.

Looking at the dark anti-magic brick wall in front of him and the alchemy puppet target in the distance, Link silently opened the attribute panel.

In the past, because he was worried that the impact of adding points on the body would cause Dumbledore and others to overreact, Link had kept the skill points without adding them.

And now is the time to think about it.

But there’s really nothing to consider.

At present, the only magic spell for Link to reach LV5 is Shen Feng Wu Ying. Adhering to the idea of ​​​​immediately improving combat effectiveness, Link has only this choice regarding the use of that golden skill point.

"Then let's begin."

Talking to himself, he took a deep breath, and after being mentally prepared, Link clicked on the golden plus sign behind LV5 Shen Feng Wuying.

Link's brows furrowed the next moment.

But the reason why Link frowned this time was not that the amount of knowledge given by Shen Feng Wuying after breaking through the limit was too much, but that the feedback it gave was pitiful.

This made all the mental construction that Link had done before go in vain.

But having less doesn’t mean you are weak!

[Divine Edge Shadowless Curse LV6 has been obtained! 】

Looking at the dark golden barrage in front of him, Link still smiled after he came to his senses.

Then Link flicked the wand in his hand, and an invisible ball of curse power was instantly formed. It silently ejected tens of meters and sank directly into the body of the alchemy doll in the distance.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Until ten seconds passed, there was still no reaction from the alchemy doll.

It's like Link fired a dumb bomb.

However, upon seeing this, the smile on Link's face became even brighter.

"burst!"

With Link's loud shout, the cursed power inside the alchemy doll finally activated, turning into dozens of pitch black spikes that pricked the alchemy doll into a hedgehog from the inside out.

This time, the upgrade of Shenfeng Wuying has only one thing besides the conventional power increase and control increase.

That is a certain degree of free control of the power of the curse.

This ability may not sound like much, but in fact it is ridiculously strong.

In addition to the delayed shadow stab just now, it can also be transformed into a control skill or even used as a life skill, which is extremely versatile.

Putting down his wand, Link nodded with satisfaction, and then pressed the upgrade plus sign of the Renewal Charm.

The feedback given after this upgrade was almost the same as when Shen Feng Wuying was upgraded to LV5. A large amount of knowledge poured directly into Link's brain, causing him to experience a brief downtime.

But after the outage was restored, Link quickly couldn't help but cursed.

Because he suddenly discovered that since most of the knowledge poured into his mind after the upgrade of the Continuing Curse was general-purpose magic knowledge, the experience bar of other magic spells also increased a lot.

Many of the low-level magic spells were upgraded directly, and the super-sense spell that was about to be upgraded has successfully reached LV4!

Compared with this, the effect of the upgraded body of the Continuing Mantra is not so gratifying.

In addition to the regular power increase, control increase and wandless spellcasting, its new abilities are just the addition of things that can be regarded as containers.

The current continuation spell can be cast on almost most things, including air.

This means it can adjust the humidity in the air at will, or...

Well, Link couldn't really think of what else it could be used for.

But this is the nature of basic spell upgrades.

The effect of their upgraded bodies may not be strong, but they can give huge experience feedback to other magic spells, which can be said to be a relatively comprehensive development.

And judging from the effect of Shen Feng Wuying's previous upgrade to LV6.

If the Continuing Curse could be upgraded again, Link might be able to master the ability to freely generate and control liquids.

Since liquids have physical properties, they can do more than just curses.

For example, the ejection water blade after high pressure, or the super heavy water shield...

If you think about it carefully, this is actually quite exciting.
