I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 184 The Cat and the Mouse

"It's Taoism again. Why do I feel that Taoism is much more powerful than magic." Harry began to doubt life.

"Each has its own strengths. Taoist magic is about fending off enemies and is just a means of protecting the road; magic is about practicality and involves all aspects of life. Both have their own merits and cannot be generalized."

"It's too profound, I can't understand it." Ron shook his head.

"It's okay if you don't understand. If you two learn the talisman seal well, it will last you a lifetime. Don't be too ambitious."

"Of the twelve basic runes, I can only draw one invisibility charm now, and it works sometimes." Ron sighed and said, "Isn't this too difficult?"

"I can draw three types, the invisibility talisman, the amulet and the oil pool fire talisman." Harry was a little embarrassed. He kept practicing every day and only now has he mastered three types.

Orlando nodded, Harry was still talented in the art of talismans and seals. As for Ron, he was too lazy to say anything more.

"Harry, the art of Talisman requires not only talent but also hard work. Don't be discouraged. Persistence in practice will always yield rewards. Only in this way can practice make perfect." Orlando encouraged.

Hermione hesitated to speak, swallowing the words as they reached her lips.Now that she has mastered the basic runes, she knows that this is the result of Orlando giving her a small prescription, so she is afraid of causing conflicts when she speaks out, so she swallows it down.

At this time, a big orange cat came straight to Orlando and made a cheerful cry. It was obvious that it was in a good mood.

"Crookshanks," Orlando pinched the back of its neck, "you've made yourself dirty again. As punishment, you'll get half the dried fish tonight."

Crookshanks, who was originally in high spirits, stopped immediately when he heard that the midnight snack had been halved. The hairs on his tail stood up, and his limbs flew in an attempt to break away from this annoying hand, but with his little strength, how could he possibly do it? Just like that, Orlando carried him back to his seat.

"Oh, my God, my Scabbers." Ron ran to the corner of the sofa in three steps. His Scabbers was lying motionless on the floor. "Are you okay, my poor Scabbers?"

Ron put Scabbers in his hand and shook it vigorously. After making sure that it just fainted from fatigue, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hermione, can't you keep your cat away from my Scabbers?" Ron said resentfully. Although his Scabbers was protected by Orlando's talisman, his life was not in danger, but he was always knocked unconscious by this cat. In the past, was his master shameless?

Hermione took her cat from Orlando and scratched its chin to calm it down. The cat was closer to Orlando than to her as its owner.She said nonchalantly: "Isn't this great? Your Banban is not damaged and you can also help it lose weight. It kills two birds with one stone."

"You said it lightly, look how tired my Banban is? I made a mistake by leaving it in the lounge, huh."

"Okay, calm down. Is it worth it for a mouse?" Orlando took Scabbers from Ron's hand and gave it an electric shock without any trace. The mouse that was pretending to be dead suddenly became alive and kicking. " Look, isn’t this good?”

Orlando handed Scabbers to Ron, and Ron happily took his pet. Orlando glanced at Scabbers with a half-smile, and he actually saw fear and hatred in its eyes.

On Saturday morning, Orlando woke up from his practice. He was delighted to find that his sea of ​​soul was half smaller than before. Most of the resentful dust attached to the altar had disappeared, leaving only a few die-hards who had not been cleared away.

According to the training method taught by Nico Flamel, he has entered the second stage of soul magic training - soul shaping. By tempering the sea of ​​soul, he gradually strengthens the connection between the body and the soul. Finally, the body and soul become one, and he becomes I am in you, and you are in me.After completing this step, you can proceed to the third stage of cultivation - separation of spirit and body, and shaping your own independent soul body. At this stage, you can live up to [-] years like your teacher.

Although this step is still far away, it is a step forward after all. Orlando is in a good mood and eats an especially sweet breakfast.

"What makes you so happy?" Hermione, who was familiar with Orlando, couldn't help but joke.

"The hidden wounds caused by the last training will be healed." After discovering that Harry and Ron were eavesdropping, Orlando didn't explain much. After all, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better.

"That's great," Hermione happily took him a piece of pumpkin pie, "Today is Hogsmeade Open Day, we want to celebrate."

"What are you talking about? What kind of hidden injury? Who is injured?" Harry couldn't help but ask.

"My practice went awry and I suffered some internal injuries. I'm almost healed now." Orlando took a bite of the pumpkin pie and said softly.

"Oh..." They knew about Orlando's injury, but they thought he had recovered a long time ago, but they didn't expect it to take so long.

"Professor McGonagall is right, Harry, you shouldn't appear outside the school." Orlando said after seeing what Harry wanted to ask.

"Can't I come with you?" Harry really didn't want to stay in the castle alone, and he also wanted to play in Hogsmeade.

"No, Blake has clearly come for you. If you have an accident, no one can take the responsibility." In fact, the real reason is that Orlando doesn't want to bring a light bulb, and finally has a chance to be alone, and he also brings the two of them with him. Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?

Harry lowered his head and said nothing, feeling very depressed. Ron's words of persuasion had no effect at all.He also knew that Orlando was right. If something went wrong, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.

"The weather is nice today. I hope we don't encounter any more Dementors."

"Probably not. After what happened last time, the Ministry of Magic sent extra manpower, especially for the Hogsmeade Open Day. I don't think they want another large-scale attrition event." Orlando said confidently

"You should be more restrained. Although I also hate these dark creatures, they are employees of the Ministry of Magic after all. I don't want to have a wanted boyfriend." Hermione said with a smile, without any worry, she also Knowing that there is a big tree like Nico Flamel, the Ministry of Magic will not fall out with him unless it is absolutely necessary.

They walked out of the hall arm in arm, greeting people passing by. Now no one in the whole school knew that they were a couple, so there was nothing to make a fuss about. Hermione also gradually adapted to this identity. From the shy and uncomfortable attitude before, Dare to admit that she is now calm and generous. This transformation makes her exude a sense of confidence and happiness from the inside out.

Hermione was in a good mood. She had dressed up carefully today. She had an indescribable intellectual beauty, which made Orlando stunned for a moment.

"What are you looking at? Let's go." Hermione pulled him and the two walked out of the campus.

The two wandered along the commercial street of Hogsmeade. They first went to the "Literary Quill Shop" to buy a large amount of parchment, writing pens, ink, etc. There were too many courses this year, and these stationery items were consumed too quickly. Just need to stock up on some goods.

"Let's go to the Three Broomsticks for a drink." Orlando suggested as they walked out of the stationery store.

The two strolled to the Three Broomsticks bar.

"Ron, what are you doing here?" Hermione shouted from a distance. At this time, Ron looked cautious, fearing that there was someone around.

"Harry is here too?" You don't need to use the power of your soul to check Orlando and you can guess that Harry must have sneaked out.

"Shh, keep your voice down, Harry is following me." Ron looked around carefully.

"You are so brave. Professor McGonagall specifically asked you to sneak out." Hermione was a little angry.

"Forget it, it's too late now that everyone has come out to say this, Harry should come out and say hello." Orlando said behind Ron.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to get some air." Harry defended himself in a low voice.

"It seems like the Three Broomsticks can't go. Why don't we go back to Longxiang Castle? We haven't been back for a long time." Orlando suggested. After all, they met here, and Harry couldn't explain it.

"Longxiang Castle? Where is that? Is there such a place in Hogsmeade? Why don't I know about it?" Ron asked incredulously. You must know that he is a frequent visitor to Hogsmeade, and there is no place he doesn't know about.

"This is Hermione and I's new home. I just want to show you around today. Let's go." Orlando then led them up the mountain.
