HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 76 Article 7 Family Motto

Unpacking a large package, Ann began to organize the letters, newspapers and magazines inside the large package. Some letters were thick, with more than a dozen charts and two sheets of letter paper, and some letters were thin, with only a few short sentences. .

Arranging all the letters according to the date, Ann began to read one by one, and wrote something in two thick notebooks from time to time. Instead of quills, she used ordinary pens and letter paper, and from time to time wrote on blank paper. Draw with a pencil and fill in the markings with colored ballpoint pens.

"Ann? What are you doing?" Fanny walked to Ann's desk with her head tilted and wiping her hair. "Huh? What is this? Can I read it?" She pointed to a pile of newspapers and magazines.

Ann nodded, "Okay, let's see."

"The Times, Financial Times, World Futures Weekly? Ann, why do you subscribe to so many Muggle newspapers and magazines?"

Ann continued to read the letter without raising her head, "Learning, learning..."

"Learn this? Ann, have you been free recently?" Fanny asked puzzled.

"Not idle, but don't forget what the Roland family was originally for. My aunt will definitely give these things to me in the future. Instead of sharpening their guns when the time comes, it's better to take the initiative now..."

"Hmm... okay..." Fanny flipped through the magazine, and found that it was full of numbers and technical terms, so she put the newspaper and magazine back to their original place.

After sorting out the letters, Ann began to write and reply to different people. Since she made a small fortune in the stock market during the summer vacation, she opened an account with a securities company in London, England, and planned to change the relatively longer cycle. futures.She also found an agent who would contact her by letter and deal with the matter once a week.

The letter will be sent to Aaron's house, and then Obie will pack up the newspapers and magazines subscribed to Ann every Wednesday night. After Ann receives the letter on Thursday morning, she plans to reply in the evening, post the stamp and write the address , delivered to Aaron's house by Momo on Friday morning, and Obi will send the letter through the British Post.

At present, Ann's assets are already around [-] pounds.

After writing the last letter and pasting the stamps, Ann started to pack the reply letters into a small package.Then I started to read the newspaper.

Halfway through, Fanny ran into the dormitory from the door with a book in her hand, "Ann! Ann!"

"What's the matter? Fanny, take a breath first...speak slowly..." An put down the newspaper in her hand, and turned her body to face Fanny.

Fanny stuffed a book into Ann's hand, "You...you..look..."

An took the book, glanced at the title, the familiar cover, "The Road to Learning God's Growth--Potion Chapter", the first grader, and secretly laughed in his heart. It turned out that some people really bought this kind of book, but An said Shang asked calmly, "What's wrong with this book?"

Fanny had already recovered her breath. She snatched the book from Ann's hand, opened the book, and flipped through a few pages, then pointed to the stickman comics on the page and said angrily, "Ann, someone copied your idea!"

Ann flipped through the book and laughed.Seeing Ann like this, Fanny couldn't understand what happened, "Okay, you wrote this book, right? You're still laughing, why didn't you tell me?"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong... Fanny, I admit, I wrote this book, but I was too busy a while ago and you didn't reply to my letter, so I forgot it..."

"Hmph, is this the good idea for making money you mentioned at the end of last semester?"

Ann flipped through the first few pages of the book, thinking, it seems that the person who bought the book is a good kid who loves to learn. He has done all the supporting homework questions in Chapter 1, and carefully wrote notes under the wrong questions with a quill pen.

"That's right, it's a good idea to make money. Where did you get this book?" An asked.

"I was reading in the common room just now, and I saw a first-year freshman doing this frowning, and seeing me looking at him, he boldly came over and asked me... I answered his question, and then accidentally I saw the stickman comics, and I borrowed his book, and I came over..." After speaking, Fanny felt embarrassed, because she didn't borrow the book in a soft voice at that time.

"Hey..." Ann said with a smile, "Fanny, so that freshman is staying in the common room with a dazed face right now?"

Fanny gave Ann a look.

"Okay, I see... Let's go and return the book to him now and I'll explain it to you?" Ann smiled and got up from the chair with the book.

There were not many people in the Slytherin common room, but there was a short boy sitting on an armchair, looking towards the corridor of the girls' dormitory. When he saw Fanny coming out, he immediately lowered his head, Playing with the quill pen in his hand in bewilderment.

An walked straight over, smiled and sat opposite the freshman.Fanny sat down beside Ann, her head lowered, and her face flushed.

Ann pushed the book in front of the freshmen, smiled and said gently, "Thank you for lending us the book, don't be nervous. I'm Ann Roland Stoke, she's Fanny Charles, and we're in the fourth grade. What about you?" "

The freshman raised his head, but his eyes were not on Fanny and Ann, but on the notebook on the table with lowered eyelids.

"I'm Malcolm Dobuck, first year."

"Malcolm Doback? Nice name, isn't it, Fanny?" Ann said.

"Yes, very nice name, Malcolm, thank you just now for lending me the book," said Fanny.

It seems that both Ann and Fanny have a good tone, and both of them are good-looking, Doback blushed and said, "No..No..It's okay...Well, can I ask you some questions later? I won't Is it a problem? I just think a lot of the courses are too difficult…”

"Certainly," said Fanny.Ann nodded with a smile.

In the next three weeks, the days went by quickly. Since Ann canceled the boring divination class this school year, she had more extracurricular time. The greenhouse was still her frequent visit. Mrs. Ray sent Professor Sprout's herbal extracts, and Ann ran into Professor Snape at the school hospital one time, while he was talking to Madam Pomfrey.

But Snape just took a look at Ann and left, and Ann later learned that some rare special medicines in the school hospital also needed the help of Professor Snape.

"I have never seen anyone who is as talented in potions as Professor Snape. He is very good at the configuration of potions. Ann, if you have questions about potions, it must be a good choice to ask him. Unfortunately, he It's not easy to get along with, but as the dean of your college, I think he will be willing to answer your questions..." Madam Pomfrey said to Ann after Ann's inquiry.

But Ann was noncommittal about Madam Pomfrey's opinion. Of course, she admitted that Professor Snape had a high talent for potions, but when she encountered problems, she would rather ask Professor Snape. I can see many problems.

The courses of the fourth grade are undoubtedly much more difficult than those of the third grade. The other courses are very easy for Ann, but the increased difficulty of the Transfiguration course made Ann complain endlessly, and Hagrid's protection of magical creatures often made Ann feel sad about time. However, if there was one class that made An nervous, it would be Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Professor Moody announced in the second week that he would cast the Imperius Curse on each of his classmates in turn, to demonstrate the spell's power and see if they could resist its effects.

Ann was very unwilling to accept such a course, because she knew that Moody's actual identity was one of the Death Eaters sent by Voldemort, and it seemed that he was Crouch's son, Crouch Jr., sent to help Harry pass The Triwizard Tournament was revived. Ann can't remember the specific details of the process, but she was very impressed with the ending of Zhen Moody. Zhen Moody was locked in the bottom layer of his own box and lived in darkness. several months.

But Ann couldn't skip Defense Against the Dark Arts, because it was as compulsory as Transfiguration. "I really don't know why there are so many obnoxious compulsory courses..." An Zai said as he walked into the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

But Ann's performance in class surprised her, because she was so little affected by the Imperius Curse that when Moody cast a spell on her, she was very nervous, but she only felt After a light, hazy feeling like dozing off, there was nothing.

After waiting a moment for nothing to happen, Ann looked back at Moody suspiciously.

Moody also looked shocked at first, apparently not expecting such a thing to happen.

But he quickly realized that the student roster quickly came to him from a corner of the podium, his magic eyes looked at the roster, and his other normal eyes stared at An Wen, "Ann Roland Stoke ? Are you from the Roland family?"

Everyone in the classroom had already focused their attention on Ann. Ann didn't care about the gaze behind her, but she cared about Moody's, and she didn't know what Moody meant.

Unknown, An nodded.

Moody seemed to want to crack a smile as Ann nodded, but Ann thought he just pulled the corners of his mouth, exposing his yellow, crooked teeth.

"The Roland family... It's been a long time since I saw anyone from the Roland family... The seventh family motto of the Roland family: the strong may not win, but the victor is the strong. Is this sentence true?"

"Well... yes, that's right..."

"Okay, Roland, please stand aside..." Then Moody began to call the students to move forward.But every student who came forward did not forget to take a look at An, as if this would help them better resist the Imperius Curse.

Ann had no choice but to stand at the end of the classroom, watching Moody cast spells on every student who stepped forward, and many students whispered in low voices.Although there was no disturbance on Ann's surface, in fact, countless thoughts flashed through her heart.

Moody's words seemed to be saying that members of the Roland family were born with the ability to resist the Imperius Curse.But why did Dinah never tell me that these things have to wait until she becomes an adult at the age of 16?I always feel that the background of the Roland family is not small, but the innate talent to resist the Imperius Curse is too scary, right?This is one of the Unforgivable Curses, the highest level of illegal spells issued by the Ministry of Magic.

Ann was thinking wildly, Fanny was in line to be cursed, and the first time she failed to resist, she walked to Ann's side. Curse, and almost all the students have varying degrees of inability to control their bodies after failing to resist.

"Is your arm all right?" Ann asked first when she noticed Fanny approaching her.

"Professor Moody said you'll be fine in 10 minutes..." Fanny said, she looked at Ann's expression, and then asked, "Ann, did you know you could do this before?"

Ann shook her head.

"Ah?" Fanny exclaimed softly. Hermione, Harry and Ron, who were standing at the end of the long Gryffindor line, obviously heard it. There are only two rows of seats separated.

All three listened with ears pricked up, but turned their faces directly in front of the room where Professor Moody stood, lest Moody's magic eyes should see them deserting his class.

"At present, it seems that my uncle and aunt have reached a tacit agreement that they will not disclose family related matters and other complicated things to me before I become an adult, so if you ask me, I can only tell you that I don't know ...And to be honest, until today, I didn't know that the Roland family has eight family precepts, the third is to recognize mistakes, admit mistakes, and actively correct them. There is also the seventh rule that Professor Moody just said..." An said with a helpless tone.

After hearing this, Fanny thought about it seriously, and then said, "Ann, I think your uncle and aunt may have their reasons for doing this..."

Ann shrugged, narrowed her eyes, and said nothing.

Of all the people who followed, only Harry successfully resisted part of the Imperius Curse in the first test. Harry's performance was highly praised by Professor Moody. He asked Harry to demonstrate it four times until Harry Until you can completely get rid of the Imperius Curse.

The author has something to say:

This afternoon, the author just came back from his grandma’s house. To be honest, I haven’t started writing for two days, and I feel like I forgot a lot of things...

PS: I don’t know if there are any readers who have read Agatha’s detective novels. Her “None Survived” and “Murder on the Orient Express” are really well written... The author Jun took advantage of the two days when he went to his grandmother’s house to read them all at once. Finished "Murder on the Orient Express" and "There Were None" (two books I have always wanted to read but have no time to read)...

And again: I am very, very grateful to the readers who voted for me, I love you, huh.The author will repay you with hard work to update the article.
