Hogwarts in the shadows

A loud dragon roar pierced the sky, and the sound was like rolling thunder, shaking the clouds.

As the dragon's roar gradually subsided, the dark clouds dispersed, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, revealing a sky full of stars.

The dragon slowly descended from the air, its huge body slowly shrinking from the initial forty feet.

As it gradually approached the ground, it had turned into a human form.

Hephes appeared before them again, but his eyes were still shining like green gems.

"Hephaest, how are you?" Professor Snape rushed to Hephaest.

He casually released several detection spells and carefully checked Hephis' physical condition.

"Professor, I'm fine, better than ever." Hephis smiled brightly.

Snape had never seen Hephesus so happy, and the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously.

Hephis opened his arms and hugged him, "I'm sorry for worrying you."

"As long as you're okay." Snape patted Hephes' shoulder, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"you......"

Snape's eyes suddenly widened and he looked at Hephes in disbelief.

The data fed back by his detection magic at this moment caused his brain to temporarily shut down.

"What's wrong, Professor?" Hephis noticed Snape's abnormality and asked in confusion.

Snape took a deep breath and said with emotion: "You really have become a troll."

Hearing this, Hephis couldn't help but roll his eyes. Why did he start swearing again out of the blue?

Snape also realized that his choice of words might be inappropriate.

"I mean, your physical fitness is comparable to that of a troll."

Hephis subconsciously clenched his fist, and directly made a sonic boom.

He threw another punch casually, and the sound of breaking air was heard along with the wind from his fist.

Hephaestus immediately became interested and started practicing the Tai Chi he had learned in his previous life on the open space.

It's the kind that old men and women play in the park.

But when Hephis was practicing Tai Chi at this time, each move was accompanied by a sonic boom.

The ground beneath his feet broke apart like a spider web.

This time he successfully changed his job from a wizard to a mage.

Snape watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily, and the wand in his hand trembled slightly.

After Hephis finished punching and stood up again, he finally couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

"What exactly is this magical creature you transformed into?"

"Dragon, the Chinese dragon." Hephes replied.

Although Snape has some understanding of Chinese culture.

But he only knew a little about the alien world and knew very little about Chinese culture.

He asked in confusion: "What is that? I have only heard of Zouwu and Qilin."

Hephes's eyes were looking towards the east.

"The dragon is a totem of the Chinese people. It does not exist in this world, but it can also be said to be everywhere. It exists in the hearts of every Chinese person."

There was one more thing he didn't say, because only Chinese people could understand this sentence, which is that every Chinese person is like a dragon.

Snape suddenly realized, and thought to himself, perhaps there was Chinese blood among Hephes' ancestors.

That's probably why Hephis is so obsessed with the Chinese dragon.

However, this Chinese dragon is indeed majestic and beautiful, much better than those big lizards.

When they returned to Hogwarts, daybreak had begun to dawn.

Although Hephes didn't sleep all night, he successfully transformed into a dragon.

His physical fitness has soared, so he is still full of energy.

Since he had Apparated directly to the location of the Potions Office in the dungeon.

So he did not feel that the entire Hogwarts castle trembled slightly the moment he appeared in Hogwarts.

At the same time, all the house-elves in the castle woke up.

An An was so excited that she jumped up and danced with her hands and feet, but her dancing posture was very ugly.

"Hephis, we can finally go to Hogsmeade on the weekend at the end of the month!" Draco sat next to Hephis with an excited look on his face.

He picked up a set of pancakes skillfully and started to eat them in big mouthfuls.

"Just go, there's nothing fun here." Hephis drank the old tofu with a spoon, and the taste of the stew was a little off.

"Hogsmeade is the only wizarding village! The Honeydukes candy store there has the most complete range of candies in the world, and there are also Quidditch players from Davis and Bans..."

Draco began to chatter in Hephis's ear.

When he looked at Hephis's uninterested expression.

His voice gradually became quieter and he could only continue to eat his pancake in disappointment.

"Oh, right!" Draco suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up.

"You can go with Hermione! There's a Madam Puddle's Tea House where you can..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a chill coming over him.

He looked up and saw Hephis staring at him with dangerous eyes.

Especially those emerald eyes, which are even more creepy.

Draco immediately shut his mouth, and the breakfast table fell into silence again, with only the sound of Hephis chewing his food gently.

Not only Hephis, but even Hermione was not interested in going to Hogsmeade.

She is now almost fanatical about studying.

For Hermione in the past, reading was just a habit for her.

Now it has become her whole life, and she is always reading a book.

Her eyes flickered with a desire for knowledge, just like when Hephes first devoured the shadow.

The feeling of having a brain was really addictive, and Hermione couldn't stop.

But Hermione was luckier, as she had the protection of the unicorn shadow.

She doesn't have to worry about the mental distress caused by her confused memory.

So she made a very domineering decision that she would read a book for a day and not go to Hogsmeade.

Hephis did not interfere and let her immerse herself in the sea of ​​books.

He also needs some time to digest his new gains.

Because this time, the changes that Animagi brought to him were so huge.

On Halloween, other little wizards happily ran to Hogsmeade to play.

Hephis and Hermione chose to stay in the Room of Requirement.

Hephes sat cross-legged, and from time to time he raised an arm that was shining with green scales.

His left hand has turned into a sharp eagle claw.

Hermione was used to this.

Hephis had already explained to her about the Animagi.

And she had secretly gone to the Forbidden Forest with Hephis before, and she had ridden it.

At this moment, she was practicing the new spell she had learned from the book on a dummy.

Every time she cast a spell, she carefully felt the magic power flowing through her body.

Sweat gradually soaked her clothes, but she couldn't stop at all.

She knew that only by practicing harder could she not get too far away from Hephis.
