Xing Ze pulled out a note from his notebook and placed it in the center of the table, "Try it."
"I tried it, the spell didn't work."
Xing Ze thought for a while, took out his magic wand, and whispered: "Yuga - Dimlviosa."
The piece of paper immediately flew up, and Hermione's eyes showed envy and desire.
When the piece of paper fell, Xing Ze said again: "Try it."
"Here?" Hermione asked uncertainly, "Mrs. Pince will be angry."
"Just keep your voice down."
Under Xing Ze's gaze, Hermione carefully took out the wand. She chanted the spell to the piece of paper, "Yingardium Leviosa, Wingardium Leviosa, Wingardium."
Mulviosa.”
After three consecutive unsuccessful attempts, the little girl's face turned red, and she yelled at the paper as if she was angry: "Wingardim Leviosa."
"Shh-" Mrs. Pingsi rushed over after hearing the commotion, "Quiet, child, please keep quiet in the library."
Hermione apologized, her face became even redder, she pouted, looked at Xing Ze angrily, and after realizing that the other party was looking at her, she complained: "I thought you were a decent person, sir.
"
"What gave you this illusion?"
Hermione didn't expect Xing Ze to say that, and her eyes widened in surprise. She hesitated and said, "But you, didn't you save the entire train?"
"If you think so, Miss Granger, the dead who are fighting for time will be very sad."
"I...I..." the little girl was at a loss for words again, but she quickly said: "I didn't mean that. I mean, it's unfair to you. Principal Dumbledore hardly mentioned you in his speech.
, it’s not in the newspapers, and there’s also the commendation meeting from the Ministry of Magic..."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became. Xing Ze had no choice but to interrupt: "Calm down, Miss Granger, Mrs. Pince has just left. Also, I need to point out your mistake. I don't feel unfair."
Hermione couldn't understand this at all. She frowned and asked, "Why? Why do you want to give up the honor you deserve?"
"My job," Xing Ze replied very seriously, "my job determines that I should keep a low profile instead of enjoying those nihilistic things, which will only make it difficult for me to move forward."
"But...but you are a teacher, why can't teachers accept honors and fame?"
"This is difficult to explain, Miss Granger."
, you still have to be clear.”
"Really?" Hermione didn't believe that the problem that had troubled her for so long could be so simple. She always thought that she was wrong in the magic building stage.
"Try again." Xing Ze suggested.
Hermione hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment. She looked around cautiously, then rolled up her sleeves, waved her wand, and said: "Yuga - Dim Leviosa."
With the sound of the spell, the white piece of paper moved.
"It's moving!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly, "Did you see it? Sir, it's moving."
"Miss Granger!" Mrs. Pince's voice sounded not far away, "Quiet! If you can't do it, I can only ask you to go out."
Hermione hurriedly covered her mouth. When Mrs. Pince's footsteps were far away, she stuck out her tongue and laughed happily.
"If you pay more attention to the shaping of magic power, you will be able to master it completely. I think this shouldn't be difficult for you." After Xing Ze said this, he raised his hand and looked at the time.
It's time to visit Professor Snape, he thought. So he packed up the books on the table and said goodbye to Hermione: "It's getting late, Miss Granger, you should go back to your dormitory. Good night."
"Good night, sir, thank you very much," Hermione said.
Xing Ze walked to the front desk of the library to register the books he wanted to borrow. Mrs. Pingsi tilted her head and looked behind him and said dissatisfiedly: "Next time, sir, don't bring the pet cat into the library next time."
He turned his head and looked behind him, and explained with a smile: "That's my familiar, madam. Get out, Blue Beak."
"You can't use demons either, it's written in the school handbook."
"Of course, madam, there won't be a next time." Xing Ze apologized, put the book into his ring, and then hurried Lan Beak out of the library.
"Don't get emotional. She has no ill intentions and is just doing her job." Xing Ze advised the meowing blue beak. The black cat ran out of the corridor and turned into a raven and flew into the sky.
Halfway there, he suddenly remembered whether Hermione had shown off the levitation spell in front of Ron in the original book. He didn't remember it clearly.
"Forget it, this is not something we should worry about now." Xing Ze said to himself and quickened his pace.
…
Professor Snape looked at the young man standing in front of the door, his gloomy face added some anger, and he said solemnly: "I think you should pay attention to the time. If you can't pay attention, then you should also look out the window.
, it’s already dark, Mr. Xingze.”
"It's not even ten o'clock, professor, can I come in?"
Snape's eyebrows raised, "If I say no, will you turn around and go back?"
"Of course not." Xing Ze walked confidently into Snape's office. The room was filled with bottles and cans. He scanned around and found at least ten banned potion ingredients.
"Nice collection, is that the venomous spine of the poisonous leopard?"
Snape slammed the door shut, then waved his wand, and several black scarves fell down, covering everything, "Are you here to show off your knowledge of magical animals?"
"That's not true." Xing Ze blinked, "My mother is a magical animal protector..."
"I don't care." Snape interrupted ruthlessly, "I don't want to know about you, nor your mother, nor anything about your family."
"Well, I like your directness, Professor. So let's talk about Dunn Eric."
"Listen up, young man." Snape played with the wand in his hand, "If Dumbledore hadn't ordered it, I would be happy to teach you what respect is for others."
"Maybe next time, Professor." Xing Ze leaned against the pillar of the room, "We still have many opportunities to meet. Now, let's get down to business and tell me everything about Eric."
Professor Snape frowned and reluctantly began to tell: "On August 4th, Eric went to Digger Village to participate in the underground auction, which is where he got the statue fragments. After that...
…”
"Wait a minute." Xing Ze stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "If I remember correctly, the plague in Digel Village broke out on July 22nd."
"What's the problem?" Snape asked.
"Why did the organizers choose the plague-ravaged village of Digel for that auction?"
