Hogwarts Survival Sim

Hermione pulled Ethan back to the cabinet and began to search for words she could not recognize.After about half an hour, she finally raised her head again, which was almost buried in the book.

"How's it going, Hermione?" Lockhart, who was waiting a little bored, immediately asked, "Did you get anything?"

"I thought this was a message from the owner of the castle," Hermione said with a complicated expression, "I just didn't expect..."

"Didn't think of anything?"

"Almighty and noble God, I am your servant and your child. Please respond to my humble request and grant me the power to drive evil!"

"The magic text engraved under the cabinet probably means this when translated."

"In other words, this text is used by those in the church when praying?" Lockhart frowned tightly, "But this is wrong. How can they know the wizard's magic text?"

"What do you think, Ethan?" Hermione looked at him and asked, "These people from the church wrote it in magic script... let's call it a spell. Will it really be effective?"

"I don't know. Now this matter has become more complicated." Ethan thought attentively, "Whether the people in this church are ordinary people or wizards who hide their identities. It would be fine if it is the latter, but If it’s the former, that means…”

"Does this mean that a long time ago, it was possible for ordinary people to use magic?" Hermione followed her words, but she was startled again, "This is impossible, Ethan. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to use magic. I guess the person who wrote this line probably didn't even know he was a wizard."

"It is indeed possible, but since he can use magic words, does he really not know that he is a wizard?"

"Perhaps there is a wizard hiding in the church, preparing to use power to complete his conspiracy?" Lockhart also put forward a point of view, "For example, controlling the werewolf army or something, after all, what is written in that sentence? The power that drives evil.”

"But the people in the church are not fools. I think as a major witch-hunting force, they can't even distinguish witches."

"So what do you want to express, Ethan." One after another's opinions were refuted, and Hermione couldn't help but ask, "Do you think these ordinary people can also use magic words to use magic? This is ridiculous!"

"...Maybe I'm overthinking it," Ethan was silent for a while before replying, "But if that's true, it would be a bit chilling. The wizards in the past were also very powerful, and Muggles were even more powerful than they are now. They are much weaker, but why are they still being persecuted?"

"Are you trying to say that there are people who can use magic among Muggles?" Hermione looked a little dumbfounded. "Ethan, if you read the history of magic carefully, you will know that a considerable number of wizards in the past were members of Muggle society. The nobles will not fall into such a crisis."

"And those wizards who are hunted down and persecuted are often so-called wild wizards. They have not studied magic systematically and can only explore on their own. They are isolated and have no companions. Therefore, they can easily be captured by the Muggle army. They control and capture."

"And even those wizards who are not too weak have families and children who are extremely vulnerable to threats from Muggles. For the sake of the little wizards who have not yet grown up, they have to make compromises and accept the driving of some Muggle dignitaries. ."

"So your assumption that wizards don't dare to resist is because Muggles also have magic is absolutely wrong." Hermione crossed her hands on her chest and said seriously, "The wizards at that time were not They cannot resist, but there is no need to resist. After all, for them, the only people being persecuted are a few people who have nothing to do with them."

"I think this is why pure-blood families like Malfoy hate Muggles so much. In the era of their ancestors, Muggles were just slaves and servants, but now they have become masters. Even they And I had to hide from them. To them, it was really a shame."

"To sum up," Hermione made her final concluding speech, "Whether it is a Muggle-born wizard trained by the church since childhood, or a wizard spy who sneaked into the church with ill intentions, if this magic text If it is really effective, the user will definitely not be a Muggle."

After finishing a long speech, Hermione's breathing became much faster. Just as she was adjusting her breathing to take a breath, a burst of applause rang out from around her, startling her.

She quickly looked in the direction of the sound. She originally thought someone else had entered, but she didn't expect it to be Professor Lockhart.

"That's wonderful, Hermione!" he said while applauding, "This is the first time I've seen Ethan like this, you know he's usually a very stinky guy, hahaha..."

Lockhart had never seen Ethan in trouble since he first met him on the plane more than a year ago.In his impression, Ethan looked confident from beginning to end, as if nothing could trouble him.

And the facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Even if they were as terrifying as the Basilisk and as powerful as Voldemort, Ethan subdued them one by one. This is one of the important reasons why Lockhart is willing to listen to Ethan.

Because Ethan lived the way he really wanted to live when he was a student. His excellence relied on his outstanding strength, rather than being clever and sensationalizing like himself.

But seeing him being silenced and speechless by Hermione today, Lockhart felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart, as if all the resentment he had accumulated over the past year had been swept away.

Listening to Lockhart's wanton laughter, Ethan's face was full of black lines, but he was not angry. Maybe some people's happiness at the moment was at the expense of future troubles?

Well, that's right, this is not an angry word, nor is it a curse, it is just a reasonable speculation...

Ignoring this person who was likely to be unlucky in the future, Ethan quickly accepted Hermione's statement. It seemed that he still needed to improve on the history of magic.

But then again, how did Hermione manage to memorize all these things so seriously in such a boring subject?Even though he was still interested in these things, after listening to Professor Binns' class, he no longer bothered to read these histories.

"You're right, Hermione, I took it for granted."

Ethan decisively admitted his mistake. Recently, he has been a little too conspiratorial and always thinks about things in a complicated direction, which will only make things more complicated.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Lockhart, who had adjusted, came back online. "Now that we have neither found the humanoid restoration spell nor the exit, where should we go next?"

"Let's get out of here first," Ethan shrugged, "I think the master of the castle will guide us."
