Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 84 Fishing in Azkaban (five thousand chapters)

Luna always looked like she didn’t care about anything, as if nothing in the world could ruin her state of mind.

So until today, this was the first time Gretel saw her real smile.

To be honest, Gretel was really a little frightened by this girl Luna, and her unreasonable inspiration really made his liver tremble.

Whenever she looked at him with meaningful eyes, Gretel always thought she understood something.

For this reason, Grete had to avoid her in daily life.

Luna seemed to be aware of his feelings, so she basically didn’t answer him unless necessary.

It seemed that the change in her body was really big this time, so much so that the girl took the initiative to find Grete again.

“It smells a lot like my mother’s.”

After seeing Luna smile for the first time, Gretel saw her lose for the first time.

Thinking about it, this girl must miss her mother.

Luna’s mother’s name was Pandora. It is said that she died due to an accident in an experiment when Luna was nine years old.

Things like experimenting with death often occurred in ancient times. The wizards at that time were always bold in using magic spells, potions, and alchemical products.

If there are apprentices, let the apprentices experiment, and if there are no apprentices, let them do it themselves.

Therefore, the mortality rate at that time basically remained high all year round.

However, as the wizards’ magic system gradually improved, this kind of thing rarely happened.

In modern times, a wizard who accidentally kills himself may not be found in decades.

Luna said that Gretel’s current smell was similar to that of her deceased mother.

This made Grete wonder if Luna’s mother was born with this talent of being close to nature.

After two weeks of rest, Grete’s spirit has returned to normal and he no longer is in a daze from time to time.

However, the experience he had while recuperating in the infirmary has always been deeply engraved in his mind.

That tiny, almost imperceptible existence like an elf was basically invisible to him after he recovered, but he could feel that as he digested, more and more mysterious particles lingered around him.

And as long as he is near other wizards, or alchemical items with powerful magic.

He could still vaguely detect the small, feather-like existence that shuttled freely in the air.

If the smell Luna felt was indeed inseparable from this mysterious existence, then Pandora Lovegood most likely had an accident while studying this kind of thing.

The specific circumstances are unclear, but the widely circulated news is that Pandora caused the explosion by chanting the wrong spell.

Knowing that Gretel didn’t like to be in contact with her very much, Luna walked away after saying these two sentences.

She still has to look for new accessories that were hidden by her classmates, which she just made during the holidays.

——

Gretel was worried about this existence that might be related to the source of magic, and casually stepped into the dormitory.

Next to his bed is this year’s class schedule.

But no need to look, Terry had already told him everything during his visits during these days.

Terry chose Divination and Muggle Studies. According to him, it is easy to get high marks in Divination, as long as you don’t make ridiculous nonsense during the Divination exam.

Muggle studies came about because Gretel had a Muggle wizard friend, and Terry wanted to get involved with Muggles after graduation.

He also brought Gretel a message from the professor of divination, saying that as long as Gretel takes her class, she will be confident in training Gretel to become the greatest fortune teller in the world.

However, Grete is not sensitive to divination.

Even though he was considered by everyone to be a top student, Gretel did not take all the courses as electives as they thought. He did not have such obsession, nor did he have the time.

Even while lying on the hospital bed, he chose courses for himself overnight, Muggle Studies and Ancient Runes.

These two courses were what Gretel had long decided to learn.

One is to understand Muggles from the perspective of wizards, and the other is to understand the ancient wizards themselves.

Only if you can read the runes yourself can you understand the meaning expressed by the original author. Reading the translation always gives Gretel a feeling that the words do not express what he meant.

These two courses are what Grete thinks are most useful to him. In fact, he also wants to choose alchemy, but that course is not open to students below the sixth grade.

Gretel felt that Care of Magical Creatures was unnecessary. When he learned that he had not chosen this course, Hagrid called him to express his disappointment.

This was the first course he took as a professor after he was wronged, but in the end he expressed his understanding, after all, Grete was so busy.

Arithmetic divination is the same as divination. As long as it involves divination, Gretel doesn’t like to touch it.

He was sure that he did not have any talent for divination. Instead of hoping for divination to figure out the future, it was better to grasp the present moment.

When Grete handed in his course selection records, more people were disappointed.

Harry was disappointed that none of his electives were with Gretel.

Hermione was disappointed that Gretel had evaded her challenge. On the day of her visit to Gretel, she had left word that she hoped to compete with Gretel in all classes.

Of course, one of these people was the happiest, Mr. Ron Weasley.

Originally, after Gretel saved Harry, a thick dark cloud hung over his heart. Unexpectedly, none of them met Gretel in the elective course.

This incident made Ron happy for many days, and even when Crookshanks bullied Scabbers again, he couldn’t bear to be angry.

The pending Defense Against the Dark Arts professor still falls on Lupine.

Lupine’s heart almost jumped out of his chest because he heard that Harry had almost had his soul sucked away by a dementor on the way to school.

To this end, he went directly to Dumbledore and expressed his wishes.

For Harry’s safety, and for the sake of blocking Snape, who has not given up until now, Dumbledore made the decision to let Lupine be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new year.

After hearing this news, Gretel couldn’t help but wonder if there was no such thing as energy potion in the wizarding world, Remus Lupin had this moon face.

If you work hard day and night, will you run out of fuel within a month?

Considering that he still needs to take the wolfsbane potion prepared by Snape, he doesn’t know whether the two salaries of the night watchman and the professor can support him until the end of the year.

Gretel didn’t think that Snape, who had been on the same level as the Marauders for many years, would provide Lupine with potions for free.

Even if it is Dumbledore’s arrangement, it is absolutely impossible.

The grudge between Snape and the Marauding Four, just like his love for Lily Potter, is eternal until death.

Gretel had thought about abducting Snape after graduation. Anyway, with him here, Voldemort would definitely not let Snape kill him.

He has the confidence and the ability.

However, first, considering that Snape was too far from the selection standards of their organization.

Second, he considered that if Snape was asked to choose between him and Harry, he would undoubtedly lose.

In the end, the matter was settled.

Speaking of the entire school, apart from Luna, who was naturally full of inspiration, Snape was very familiar with Gretel’s behavior.

Just as he trusted Dumbledore, Gretel trusted him.

At least, Snape would never reveal his information to Dumbledore without threatening Harry.

After all, he was basically the heir to Snape’s mantle now, and the only thing missing between the two was a ritual, or in other words, just breaking the window paper.

And unlike Professor Voldemort’s teachings, Snape never coveted his existence, nor did he want to drag him into any weird organization.

On the contrary, one day, Gretel may encounter danger, Voldemort may sit back and watch, and Snape will definitely reach out to take advantage of him.

This is why he occasionally reveals his true nature in front of Sri Lanka.

In front of Voldemort, no matter how much Voldemort admired him, Gretel was still suspicious.

——

After making up his mind not to get involved in any messy things, Grete found that time passed so quickly.

For most third graders, this semester seems to be lacking some excitement.

You know, in the first and second grade, they were all driven back to the lounge.

But this year, except for meeting a dementor on the train at the beginning of school, nothing strange has happened so far.

Oh, by the way, except for Gryffindor, they encountered something. On October 31st, the portrait of the Fat Lady of Gryffindor was cut to pieces.

Everyone thought that the adventure of the new school year was finally about to begin, but until the end, everyone just slept in the hall all night, and no other strange things happened.

Harry was very worried, he felt that the omen of death was about to come true, and Black came to kill him in order to avenge his master.

Harry didn’t sleep well all night. He felt as if he was being hung and flying in the strong wind.

Hogwarts went off alert the next day, and so far this school year there had been only one victim, the Fat Lady.

Harry was uneasy all day, and he even sneaked in one day when Grete was taking a Muggle studies class, under the pretense of joining the class.

“Gretel, I’m really worried. Do you think I will die? Professor Trelawney said that she saw from the imagery that my life would be in danger.”

Gretel didn’t turn his head at all, he just stared at the blackboard, moved his lips slightly, and squeezed out a few words.

“Professor Trelawney’s prophecies are ineffective most of the time unless they are related to that person.”

Grete’s words seemed to poke Harry’s smile. It seemed like this. Professor Trelawney kept making prophecies to others every day.

But the most accurate ones are often related to Voldemort. It seems that she is the special Noble Phantasm for Voldemort.

In other words, if Voldemort failed, half of the credit would go to Professor Trelawney.

If it weren’t for her prophecy, Voldemort might not have taken action against either Harry or Neville at all.

Perhaps the outcome of death was avoided.

Gretel’s words made Harry relax for a while. At least during class, his frown that had been frowning since the beginning of school finally relaxed slightly.

However, when get out of class was over, he began to worry again. Gretel didn’t want to be too troublesome, so he just tried to persuade him not to be too anxious.

In fact, Harry, who believed in Gretel so much, could save Harry from his anxiety as long as he revealed a little bit of information about Black.

However, Gretel couldn’t do this. This school year, as long as there was no butterfly effect, no one would die at all. It would just keep Harry worried for a while longer.

But once he got the word out, there was no need to think about how to explain the source of his information.

Speaking of Harry alone, he definitely couldn’t keep a secret. At least, he would open it up to Ron and Hermione.

Ron knew, which meant Scabbers knew that people like Peter Pettigrew would never put themselves in danger.

Gretel believed that he would not mind bringing a big gift to his master when he ran away to find him.

Therefore, he would only give verbal comfort, but other than that, he would not participate in Harry’s third grade life.

——

Grete has never looked forward to the Christmas holiday as much as this year.

It’s like he has never lived such a regular life like this semester.

He goes to class on time every day, goes to the Room of Requirement whenever he has time, and organizes new people in the church. He has developed his own unique magic spell.

The assignments in Muggle Studies were easy, and the assignments in Ancient Runes were even easier.

The former also requires Gretel’s independent thinking, while the latter requires translating a piece of literature from runes into modern writing in accordance with the professor’s requirements.

During this period, he consulted countless materials and corrected many historical facts that he had misunderstood because of reading translations.

The more he knew about history, the more Gretel felt that Mr. Florin, who opened a cold drink shop in Diagon Alley, had a mysterious identity.

Because even the detailed history recorded in runes is not as detailed as Mr. Florin standing aside while Harry was doing homework during the holiday.

However, when he left the station, he did not go to Diagon Alley. After all, a monk could run away but he could not run away from the temple.

The communications store was not far from the cold drink shop, and Seni kept an eye on the mysterious Florin for him.

Gretel left school this vacation just to go to Azkaban.

Yes, Azkaban, which everyone in the British wizarding world revered, was the Azkaban that Arthur Weasley went to once, and was so frightened that he couldn’t recover for a long time.

Of course, he was not going through the enrollment procedures in Azkaban. He was targeting the dementors that the wizards had no choice but to expel.

This semester, he tried every means, but no longer observed that mysterious substance that might be related to the existence of magic power.

In addition, after the patron saint ate the dementors at the beginning of school, he found that his spirit was much stronger and his spell casting was much smoother than before.

Based on the belief that leaving resources untouched would be a waste, Gretel headed straight for Azkaban after leaving the station.

He was going to Azkaban to fish and mine.

Azkaban is located in the cold waters of the North Sea. Because of its magical cover, it has never been marked on Muggle maps.

Ordinary wizards only know that Azkaban is in the North Sea, and few people know its specific location.

However, for the group of old saints in Godot who almost overturned the entire Europe, nothing can be called a secret in this land where they were born and raised and determined to reform.

The saints didn’t know what Gretel wanted to do in Azkaban, but since Gretel was in need, they would naturally provide generously.

After all, everyone in Godot Town knows that Gretel’s patron saint is very fierce.

With the protection of such a fierce patron saint, those soulless demons will never cause any trouble to him.

As for whether Gretel will release those heinous criminals?

The saints didn’t care at all, all they cared about was whether Gretel could let them see that wizards could live as equals in this world before he died.

Since we are going to Azkaban, we must not cause anyone to record it.

To this end, Gretel even rode on the hated magic broom.

The Ministry of Magic never monitors the fluctuations of such magical creations, they don’t have the energy.

Even if the Firebolt can fly at 150 miles per hour, it will only take about five hours to fly to Austria.

Azkaban, located in the North Sea, is far away from the British mainland, but it is certainly not as good as flying to Godot.

Grete flew for more than three hours and saw the eerie and dark outer wall of the castle.

The predecessor of Azkaban was not a prison, it was a castle where wizards studied black magic.

Dementors are his creations using black magic.

In those years of barbaric development of wizards, countless Muggle sailors and merchants fell here.

The island that Azkaban joins is not very big. After a castle is located, there is not much free space.

But this is just convenient for the wizards to build this place into a prison, surrounded by the sea and far away from human habitation. They believe that no one can escape from here.

This group of dementors that cannot be eliminated have become natural jailers. The wizard made an agreement with them that as long as they don’t run around, the prisoners on the island will do whatever they want.

Usually, dementors don’t suck away the soul of a wizard as soon as they meet. They can tell the difference clearly after a meal.

Prisoners like Sirius Black were their favorite kind of being.

Even if they come to suck the happiness out of him every day, he can still maintain his sanity and even develop new happiness soon.

This joy radiating from the soul of a living person attracts them more than the soul.

Most people will gradually lose their minds and the sense of happy memories within a week of arriving in Azkaban, and life is worse than death for them.

This kind of prisoner, after being judged by the Dementors as unable to regain his sanity and produce happiness, will have his soul robbed and become a walking corpse with only the body still alive.

If Sirius had not been obsessed with revenge, he would not have been able to maintain his sanity.

He should be thankful that he had never fantasized about the happiness after a successful revenge, otherwise even this obsession that guaranteed his sanity would be sucked away by the Dementors.

Wizards, no, it should be said that humans, the happiness deep in the human soul is the most precious delicacy in the world for Dementors.

Gretel also used this method to attract the attention of the patrolling Dementors.

Dementors can communicate with wizards, which is common sense for wizards, but they are only willing to communicate with the Ministry of Magic or wizards who are too powerful for them to offend.

The Patronus Charm is the best bait for fishing, but he must control it, so that only beautiful emotions are emitted from his body, and the spell must not take effect.

Otherwise, he can’t guarantee that the Dementors will not be driven away by him due to the characteristics of the Patronus Charm, or that his Patronus will jump out and kill the Dementors.

Thanks to the book friend DingWANG for his monthly ticket support.

Small theater

Grete: Harry, you don’t want to cause you or Ron any danger because of the butterfly effect, so don’t think about it, just have your nightmare honestly.

Harry: I’m telling you my heart, and you’re playing tricks on me? ? ?

Ron (peeks): Break up, break up, break up…

Harry: Forget it, you are my best friend, I’ll listen to you.

Ron (jumps out): Grete, I’m going to kill you

Harry: Ron, don’t~
