Hogwarts in the shadows

The two had a very pleasant afternoon.

Hephis would tell Hermione some jokes from his past life from time to time.

Translating Chinese into English is difficult in itself, and his vocabulary is really limited, so he often says things that are irrelevant.

Hermione mistakenly thought he was doing it on purpose and kept making "chuckles".

Of course, for Hermione, a top student, there is no way she can avoid the topic of studying.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't met a close friend for too long, so he began to talk incessantly to Hephes.

Hephis finally understood why Hermione was nicknamed "Know-it-all".

She could really speak, and her little mouth hardly ever stopped. With Hephis's current hearing level, he couldn't keep up at all.

Hermione looked at Heffies' increasingly confused eyes and quickly stopped talking about studying.

She apologized hastily, her tone revealing fear that she would lose her new friend.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't stop when it comes to studying."

"No need to apologize, there's nothing wrong with loving to study." Hephis comforted softly.

"Hephis, I don't have any friends at school. They always say I'm nosy, but I just... just want to help them."

Hermione lowered her eyes, looking a little lost.

"Hermione, genius is always difficult for people to understand. Besides, don't you have friends now?"

Hephis gently rubbed Hermione's fluffy little head and spoke softly.

"Hephis, really? Are you really willing to be my friend?" Hermione raised her head, her eyes brighter.

"We are already friends, aren't we? Unless you don't want to."

"No, I do."

"Will you marry me?" Hephis asked teasingly.

"Hephis~" Hermione was embarrassed and her face turned red instantly.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow spreads across the earth, and it is finally time for the two to part.

Hermione hurriedly found a piece of paper, wrote down her home phone number, and handed it to Hephis.

"You must call me and we can have ice cream together again." Her tone was full of reluctance.

Hephis took the note and agreed with a smile.

Who wouldn’t want to share a bed with such a cute little girl?

Hephesus walked along the road home with brisk steps.

It turned out that he and Hermione lived so close to each other.

As he crossed a street, the architecture suddenly changed.

On one side are neat and bright small villas, while on the other side are dilapidated buildings.

An invisible line divides them into two worlds.

When Hefeth passed a restaurant, he grabbed two grilled steaks, some fried fish and chips, and an Eton Mess.

After returning to the dilapidated hut and enjoying dinner, Hephes put on the inky robe.

The brim of his hat was pulled low, hiding most of his face.

He will transform into a ghost of the night and begin to rob the rich and give to the poor.

As for why Hephes likes to rob, isn’t that a British tradition?

After yesterday's setback, Hefeth became more cautious.

This time, he wrapped his whole body tightly with shadows in advance, leaving only a pair of eyes flashing green light.

Yesterday he lurked in the shadows as usual, patiently waiting for his prey to appear.

Soon, a man and a woman came into his sight.

The man was well-dressed in a smart suit and an elegant top hat, and the gold watch on his wrist sparkled under the dim street lights.

The woman had an ordinary appearance, but she had a graceful figure and exquisite curves, especially her buttocks wrapped in the skirt, which looked like a ripe peach, exuding an alluring scent and looking very smooth at first glance.

Uh... off topic. The gold diamond necklace around her neck sparkled brightly, and the delicate little bag in her hand added a touch of elegance to her look.

Hephis is clear about his principles - he only robs money and not women, and it's not because he is only 11 years old.

As they walked by, Hephis instantly activated the shadow box and pulled them into the dark alley.

The shadow stand was activated. He appeared silently behind the man, jumped up, and smashed the brick down hard. The man fell down like a kite with a broken string.

Just as he walked up to the woman arrogantly and was about to say a few harsh words to threaten her to hand over her property, the situation suddenly changed.

The woman was as ferocious as a cheetah and knocked him to the ground with just a few punches and kicks.

She even pulled out a small, exquisite pistol.

The threat of death constantly stimulated Hephes's brain.

In the moment of crisis, he finally activated his shadow stand ability.

The figure disappeared from the woman's sight and appeared in a corner of the alley.

A gunshot rang out, and fortunately Hephis was not hit.

The shadow quickly knocked the woman unconscious.

Hefeth picked up the gun, and at that moment he deeply realized that carrying a gun was not taboo in the UK.

So today Hephis was extra cautious, he was just bored and wanted to have some fun, but he didn't want to die here.

After a while, he found his target and pulled the shadow box into the alley, activated his shadow stand ability, knocked out both men and women, and then quickly looted their property.

The shadow substitutes launched continuous attacks and quickly left the stage.

After confirming that no one was following him, he finally slowed down.

His figure followed the shadows around him and walked towards a nearby bookstore.

Late at night, the streets were dim, and the glass door of the bookstore reflected a warm glow under the dim light.

Hephes' shadow quietly slipped through the crack of the door, and he cleverly hid in the blind spot of sight.

He did not rush into the bookstore because he was not sure whether the bookstore had alarms or surveillance devices.

The shadow changed into a big black hand with a pair of eyes on the palm, constantly searching the bookstore.

He found a lot of books that would be helpful for his studies, as well as some paper and pens.

After completing the collection, the shadow box and the books inside merged into his shadow.

Then, Hephis quickly retreated back to the dilapidated hut.

Hephaestus returned home and had four black hands take out everything from the shadow box and place it neatly on the table.

When chatting with Hermione in the afternoon, I asked him to confirm the timeline.

Hermione was full of longing for the new school she was going to attend, but she just didn't want to tell Heffernan his name.

Hephis guessed at that time that Hermione was going to Hogwarts, which meant that this year was the first year of "Harry Potter".

He also got inspiration from Hermione about studying, which made him think of a possibility.

One way to help him learn faster is to cut out other people's shadows.

By putting someone else's shadow into a corpse, the corpse can be resurrected.

The corpse will possess the combat abilities of its former owner and the abilities of the shadow's original owner.

After Oz possessed King Luffy's shadow, he could even use the power of the Rubber Fruit and King Luffy's fighting style.

The key point is that the cropped shadow can not only be used on the corpse, but also on yourself.

In the end, Moonlight Moriah absorbed thousands of shadows and his power increased explosively.

If a shadow possesses all the abilities of its original owner, then when Hephis absorbs someone else's shadow into his body, is that equivalent to possessing all the other person's abilities?

So can he absorb the shadow of a highly intelligent and educated person?

Temporarily possess all the other person's knowledge and learning ability? Then learn from him.

In this way, isn’t it equivalent to having a learning accelerator?

Although the possibility is very high, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

So tonight Hephis was going to find someone to try and see if his idea was feasible.
