Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Wednesday, History of Magic class.

Professor Binns continued to teach in a dull, emotionless tone.

Arthur held his head with his hands, his eyes dull.

After previously opening the upper level of the tower, he decided to choose the material system as the second spell.

Different from the difficulty of the spiritual spell at the beginning, this time it only took him one day to complete the condensation of the first line.

I have to sigh with emotion, after the qualitative change in soul power, his improvement is visible to the naked eye.

At this time, in his mind, a white line was floating next to the spiritual charm.

At this rate, it is estimated that he will be able to condense the material spell into shape in less than half a year!

If coupled with the assistance of Helga's soul power in the portrait, this speed will definitely be even faster!

At this time, the melodious bell rang.

All the little wizards in the classroom cheered up instantly.

They packed up their things and left as quickly as possible.

Arthur also held a book and followed the crowd in the corridor.

The sky has been gray these past few days, which cast a layer of gloom on his mood.

Today is the day to party.

Don't look at the impassioned speech he made in front of Helga before, and he looked like he would succeed if he didn't succeed.

In fact, the uneasiness in his heart never disappeared.

Even though he had already opened the second floor of the tower and started condensing material spells.

But he still had some unknown uneasiness about the upcoming party.

But now that the matter has come to this, he can only force himself to calm down and go on.

At this time, Nesta caught up and said, "Arthur, are you okay? I see that you have been feeling low these past few days."

"Oh! Nesta, I'm fine." Arthur said absently.

Nesta pursed her lips and said worriedly, "Why don't we go to the campus hospital to check it out."

"School hospital? Oh, no, I'm really fine."

Arthur walked quickly down the stairs until he reached the door of the Hufflepuff common room, only to find Nesta still following behind.

"Nesta? You..." he asked confused.

"I..." Nesta's expression suddenly became flustered, her face turned red, she bit her lip, and finally seemed to have made up her mind.

"Arthur! That afternoon, at the school hospital...we..."

"Nothing happened! Right?" Arthur interrupted her bluntly, "You came to see me that day, and then we chatted for a while, that's all."

Nesta opened her eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief.

"Go back, okay? I have other things to do." Arthur said softly.

Then, he turned around and prepared to go back to the lounge.

"Wait!" Nesta called him again.

Then he took out a stack of parchment paper from his bag and handed it to him, "These are homework assignments."

Arthur opened his mouth, not sure whether he should answer it.

Nesta lowered her head, thrust the homework into his hand, and then immediately turned around and left.

Arthur held the parchment that seemed to still have residual heat and looked at her back as she left in a panic, feeling suddenly as if her heart was blocked.

After a long time, he said to himself: "Sorry, Nesta, I really don't have the energy to think about anything else at the moment. I will definitely apologize to you when everything is settled!"

...

...

in the dormitory.

The clock on the table slowly moved toward eight o'clock.

Arthur lay on the bed without turning on the light. He just looked sideways at the dark sky outside the window.

"It's about to start."

He muttered something in a low voice and then sank into the spiritual world with his consciousness.

The hall of the Holy Knights was now brightly lit.

There are already many people sitting on chairs waiting.

When Arthur came in, they all looked here at the same time. Under the light, the light and shadow on each person's face changed.

Gu Jing</span>Because everyone looks the same, he can't tell who is who.

The mummy, the bird, and the bat can only be recognized by the remembered seating order from the last party.

As for Toad, the seat is still empty.

Arthur walked to his seat, sat down, and greeted politely, "Good evening, everyone."

"Hello, Mr. Owl. But it's still daytime here." The mummy said with a smile.

daytime?

So it seems he is not in Europe?

But maybe he said that on purpose.

Arthur thought secretly.

"Really? I'm really sorry, it may have disturbed your work." He said apologetically.

"No kind of work is as important as this party." The mummy said with deep meaning.

Arthur frowned, feeling that his words were a bit strange.

At this time, Bat cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Owl, I wonder what issue you want to discuss this time about the ring?"

"Let's wait until the people are almost here." Before Arthur could answer, the mummy said first.

The bat glanced at the mummy, and the latter avoided it unnaturally.

This...

Arthur looked at them strangely.

According to Baribone, Nico Flamel's group hosted him at the last party, and the bat was also there.

Logically speaking, they should be in the same group, but something doesn't feel right now.

Arthur was ready to test it out.

"Actually, it doesn't matter. Since Mr. Bat asked, I can say it first." He said easily.

As a result, the mummy hurriedly said: "It's better to wait until everyone arrives, otherwise, we will have to say it again later and other people will have opinions."

"Who is the other one? Nico Flamel?" Bat chuckled.

The mummy was stunned for two seconds, then shrugged, "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

Arthur raised his eyebrows and really got into a fight. It seemed like they were not in the same group?

Then he thought that at the first gathering, only the Toad, the Mummy, and the Bird were present, and the Bat came later.

And it seems that the mummy didn't expect the bat to come at that time.

Arthur was about to say something when several portraits on the wall suddenly flashed.

Then, five figures appeared in the hall at the same time. They looked at Arthur and then sat down separately.

"Who are these?" Arthur asked.

The figures were silent and did not answer him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

"These people are not with you. They are just here under orders to see what you have to say, so don't pay too much attention." Bat said.

Arthur nodded, "Thank you."

Maybe these are the people who have no need for the ring, so they don't bother to deal with him at all.

Thinking of this, Arthur also smiled kindly at them. Since he didn't pay attention to me, he is a good person!

Next, several more people appeared one after another from the oil painting. They were the 'woman holding an umbrella', the 'fat walrus', the 'red wine glass', the 'golden snitch'...

Some of them greeted Arthur politely, while others just stared at him coldly.

Different attitudes actually reveal their different ideas about the ring.

After about 10 minutes, the 'napping toad' on the wall shimmered.

Under the alternation of light and shadow.

A figure appeared in the hall.

Toad bowed slightly to everyone and said with a smile: "Sorry, Mr. Owl. Sorry everyone, I'm late."

"It's okay, long time no see, Mr. Flamel!"

Arthur said with a smile.
