Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

Tonight, with the addition of new members, all members of the SO group gathered together for a rare occasion.

In the Room of Requirement, the members sat around a long table, on which were spread thick books, shorthand spell notebooks, and various snacks - although it was suspected that Harry had secretly brought them from the kitchen.

Amanta flipped open a book called "Advanced Spell Analysis" and asked casually, "Draco, didn't you care about bloodline in the beginning? Why are you helping me refute those pure-blood advocates in Slytherin this time?"

When Harry heard this, he sat up straight with excitement on his face: "Yes, yes, Draco, you wouldn't... secretly betray me, right?"

Cedric and Neville also looked at Draco with interest, and even Hermione pushed her glasses up, showing an interested look.

Draco's expression froze slightly. His light blue-gray eyes looked at them with a guilty look. The corners of his mouth trembled, and then he snorted unconvincedly: "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just... a little more rational."

"More rational?" Cedric blinked. "This is not like the style of the 'noble Master Malfoy' back then."

Harry added mercilessly: "Tsk tsk tsk, I still remember that in the first year, you were always talking about 'our pure-blood family'!"

Hermione crossed her arms and frowned: "And the word 'mudblood'..."

Draco's ears began to turn red. He sat up straight and retorted righteously, "I, I don't think so anymore! And -" He raised his chin, trying to maintain his self-esteem, "I never said that pure-bloods are necessarily better than others."

"Really?" Amanta looked at him meaningfully, "So, you don't care about your bloodline at all now?"

Draco glared at her, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he uttered a few words as if he was gritting his teeth: "...most of the time, yes."

Harry looked at him in shock, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh my God, Master Malfoy actually changed his opinion? Am I dreaming?"

Cedric suppressed his laughter: "Maybe he was taught too many lessons by Amanta and finally woke up."

"Or maybe... you've been in a relationship recently and your mood is different?" Neville nodded thoughtfully.

Draco's face instantly turned red, and he slammed the table: "Stop talking nonsense! Who is in love?!"

Everyone had an “Oh~” expression on their face.

Harry whistled and said with a wicked smile, "See, he agreed."

Draco's face flushed, he grabbed a book on the table and threw it at Harry: "Shut up, Harry!"

Amanta held her forehead and looked at them helplessly: "Okay, stop making trouble and continue studying."

"Okay, okay, young master, you're embarrassed today. We'll let you go." Harry smiled and waved his hands, but the smirk was still on his face.

Draco's face was still red, and he muttered something, but in the end he didn't refute it.

Tonight's theme is practical spell training and note exchange.

Amanta closed the Advanced Spell Analysis, glanced at the people, and spoke first: "According to the plan, today's focus is on the intensive practice of the 'Patronus Spell'."

"Also, exchange notes." Draco added, casually flipping open the notebook he brought.

At this moment, he seemed to have regained himself from the atmosphere of shame and anger just now, and raised his chin stiffly and proudly.

"Especially you should learn some more advanced spell-casting techniques instead of just recklessly doing it like Harry did."

"Hey!" Harry protested, chewing a piece of chocolate, "I wasn't being reckless. I was just acting on instinct!"

Hermione looked at him helplessly: "Instinct reaction? Are you talking about your recklessness?"

Cedric chuckled and shook his head, handing over his notebook. "Okay, let's exchange notes first. Everyone bring out your own spell experience, and we can refer to each other."

Amanta nodded slightly and spread out her notes. On the pages were her detailed notes on Potions and Charms, even down to the subtle differences in different spell-casting gestures and the changes in spell pronunciation in different language environments.

Hermione picked up the notebook and flipped through a few pages, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

"...Amanta, your notes are so detailed."

Neville leaned over to take a look and muttered in surprise: "You even analyzed the psychological implications of the spell..."

Amanta replied calmly: "Charm learning is not just about casting spells. The state of mind and psychological suggestion have a great influence on the strength of the spell."

Draco coughed lightly and handed over his notes: "My part is about the casting posture and the aesthetics of the spell release."

Harry chewed some honey candy and mumbled, "...What? Spell aesthetics?"

"The release of a spell requires more than just waving a wand. It requires the fluidity and precision of your gestures. A true wizard should cast spells like a noble, not just waving his wand around like you."

Draco raised his eyebrows, with a hint of pride in his eyes.

"For example, your Stunning Spell is like hitting someone with your wand every time. It's catastrophically ugly."

"Huh?" Harry's eyes widened. "This isn't a dance competition. Who cares about posture?"

Hermione held her forehead with her hand: "The fluency and accuracy of the spell do affect the effect of the casting. Draco's theory makes sense... although what he said makes me want to beat him up."

Neville took out his notes. Although the handwriting was a little sloppy, the content was very professional.

"I sorted out some content related to potions and herbology. The properties of some plants can help enhance spells. For example, the juice of nightshade can increase the toughness of the shield spell."

Cedric took the notes and nodded with a smile: "This is very interesting. If it can be combined with magic tactics, there may be new breakthroughs."

Harry swallowed the candy in his mouth and tried to make amends: "Well, I also have my own experience! For example, during Quidditch training, I found that some spells would have different effects when released at high speed."

Amanta raised her eyebrows and asked with interest, "For example?"

Harry scratched his head and said excitedly, "For example, if you cast a shield spell while flying at high speed, it is best to predict the enemy's attack trajectory in advance, rather than waiting for the attack to arrive before defending."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "That's tactics, not Charms."

"But tactics are also part of combat!" Harry said confidently, "If we are going to use spells in actual combat, these must be taken into consideration!"

Cedric smiled and nodded: "This is indeed a good entry point. After all, spells are not just knowledge in books, but more importantly, how to use them."

After exchanging notes, they began to practice the Patronus Charm.

Hermione stood aside, observing everyone's training, with a look of emotion in her eyes.

"To be honest... I always thought your SO group was some kind of mysterious organization, or even a secret group that was involved in a conspiracy."

Harry chewed some butter candy while trying to summon a Patronus.

"You think we're a Dark Lord support group plotting to conquer the wizarding world?"

Hermione couldn't help laughing: "It is indeed quite interesting. After all, your members have always been very stable, and there has been no external recruitment."

Amanta smiled faintly and said calmly: "In the past few years, we have tried to recruit new people, but almost no one is willing to join."

Neville added quietly, "Because... everyone thinks Amanta and Harry are the Dark Lord's candidates."

Hermione frowned and said in a dissatisfied tone: "This kind of prejudice is really stupid!"

Draco snorted coldly, his tone was full of sarcasm: "In the wizarding world, stupid people always make up the majority."

Cedric smiled and tried to smooth things over: "But at least Hermione has joined now."

Hermione blinked, her tone serious.

"I joined this group not to refute those rumors, but because you are really interesting, and those who are willing to challenge the established rules are always the most worth learning from."

Amanta looked at Hermione, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Welcome aboard, Hermione."

Hermione smiled, held out her hand and shook it.
