The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

The sky was slightly bright, and the July morning breeze carried cool water vapor through the windows that were not closed tightly, blowing on Loren's sleeping face.

Loren felt her eyelashes itching, as if they were being teased by a naughty elf. After fluttering a few times, she opened her eyes.

The alarm clock on the bedside had just passed six o'clock. Thanks to going to bed at nine thirty last night, Loren had a full sleep and felt refreshed, without any thoughts of staying in bed.

The fantasy book lay quietly next to the pillow. On the cover, there was a portrait of Flamel with his head hanging down and his eyes closed, with a leisurely expression.

Loren lifted the quilt, got up, changed out of her pajamas, and put on a cotton and linen blended POLO shirt. The fresh light green color added a touch of coolness to the summer. Paired with a pair of brown nine-point pants, it looked very energetic.

"Goodbye Flamel!" He folded the quilt and walked out of the room briskly.

Flamel could not appear in the outside world. This was just his pleasant talk to himself. Loren himself did not pay attention to it and did not expect Flamel to respond.

But not long after the door was closed, a subtle silver light flowed along the edge of the picture on the cover of the book of fantasy. Flamel in the portrait opened his eyes, a pair of eyes with silver-white pupils, carrying ancient memories.

Flamel blinked a few times and stepped out of the portrait.

The palm-sized portrait took one step forward, gradually getting larger in size, breaking through the constraints of the picture and entering the real world. When the steps landed, it was already the size of a normal adult.

He looked at the furnishings in the bedroom, his eyes shining with joy. After walking around the wall of the room several times, he came to the window and watched the sun gradually brighten with infinite longing.

Loren closed the door, went all the way downstairs, washed up, cut the bread into thick slices, put it in the toaster and set the time. While waiting, he fried eggs, bacon, and sausages in a pan...

Hermione Granger is a little witch who has a regular life and strong self-discipline. Except for being taken on night walks at Hogwarts, she would go to bed on time and get up on time at other times.

But something unexpected happened today.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a rapid knock on the door, and it could be heard that the person knocking on the door outside the bedroom was in an excited mood.

Hermione opened her eyes, her eyes unfocused and her expression blank, with a hint of awakened sleepiness. She always wakes up about five minutes before her alarm goes off, but that's clearly not the case now.

Boom, boom, boom!

The rapid knock on the door sounded again.

"Hermione! Wake up!"

Hermione fell into silence. She could hear Loren's voice with a little excitement. This man actually got up early just to wake her up.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Hermione! Wake up!"

Hermione didn't respond. She dressed expressionlessly, smoothed her hair with her hands, and folded the quilts neatly. During this period, knocks on the door kept ringing.

She walked to the door and turned the handle to open it.

Loren knocked on the door again with his hand raised high and stopped in mid-air, with the excited smile still on his face.

Seeing Hermione, Loren coughed slightly and suppressed his smile, "I came to practice magic with you."

Hermione was angry and funny. She squeezed her fist again and again, but finally couldn't hold it back and punched Loren on the shoulder.

"Knocking on the door so early, I must have been planning since yesterday." Hermione went all the way downstairs in slippers. According to Loren's habit of sleeping in, he must have been preparing since last night to wake her up.

Loren followed Hermione and said seriously: "I don't know what you are talking about. I'm just here to ask you to practice the Patronus Charm."

In the restaurant downstairs, Wendell and Monica saw the two people coming down and quickly looked away, with smiles that couldn't be hidden on their lips, as if they were happy to see Hermione being woken up.

Monica poured hot milk into Hermione's cup: "Hermione, go brush your teeth and have breakfast."

Hermione looked at Wendell on the dining table. He had his head lowered and was pretending to read the newspaper. He was biting into a piece of bread covered with strawberry jam and laughing "chichi" from the corner of his mouth from time to time.

She walked to the bathroom with mixed emotions.

Monica turned to look at Loren, "Would you like some more? I heard that Hermione would eat lunch again every time she goes to your house."

Wendell's chuckle suddenly became louder and more rapid, as if there was a joke page in the Daily Mail.

The muscles on Hermione's back suddenly tightened as she walked, and she felt her face getting hot and quickly quickened her pace.

When Hermione came out, she heard Loren talking to Monica about making breakfast. The two of them talked about jam, bread baking time, bacon, and chickpeas.

The breakfast was very good, the bread was rich in wheat flavor and the jam was sweet, but she only felt that the time at the table was unbearable.

In the past, both Monica and Wendell should have gone to work at this time, but now they have finished breakfast, one is chatting, the other is reading the newspaper, and they have no intention of going out.

"Hermione, eat more. Loren came to our house today and you can only have breakfast once." Wendell advised with concern.

Hermione suddenly felt that the food in her mouth was even harder to swallow. She retorted angrily in her heart. She only ate for two more days because Loren forced it to me.

Quickly finishing everything on the plate, Hermione stood up quickly, pulled Loren and walked to the courtyard, speaking in a strong and a little panic tone: "It's time to practice the Patronus Charm."

Wendell's chuckle came from behind.

"[Calling God to Guard]"

"[Calling God to Guard]"

The voices of Hermione and Loren chanting spells sounded, and the silver-white light of the Patronus Charm lit up again and again in the courtyard.

I don't know how long it took, but Monica's voice said goodbye: "Hermione, Loren, stay at home!"

The sound of the door closing and the sound of the car starting up made Hermione suddenly feel happy: "[Calling God's Guard]"

A bit of bright silver light burst out from the tip of the wand. The silver light was like silky satin, overflowing one by one and gathering in one place.

Hermione and Loren's eyes widened. This was different from their previous spellcasting situations.

The silver light gradually accumulated and became very dazzling. Then the light sources gathered into a ball, and a dolphin swam with its tail fin shaking.

A silver-white dolphin, as bright as the moonlight, the surrounding air is like sea water. It swims softly and elegantly in the air, soundlessly, with a pair of pectoral fins on the sides and a dorsal fin in the middle. Smart and beautiful eyes, delicate kisses, and the curvature of the mouth looks like a smile.

At a moment that no one expected, Hermione summoned a physical Patronus, a beautiful dolphin.

Hermione stared at the spiritual creature in front of her, her heart filled with surprise and joy.

As if she was afraid of disturbing it, Hermione suppressed her excitement and said softly: "Loren! I...it!"

Hermione couldn't speak complete sentences, so she tugged on Loren's sleeve and kept shaking it.

Loren felt Hermione's excitement, and although a little sour, he was also happy for her.

"Yes, yes, the physical Patronus is a dolphin." He gently patted Hermione on the shoulder, letting her slowly calm down.

Feeling the familiarity and intimacy between Hermione and the dolphins, she waved her wand according to her thoughts and guided the dolphins to swim in the courtyard.

The round and chubby silver-white dolphin moves through the bushes, moving dexterously but giving off a naive and well-behaved look.

It circled around the tree trunk in the middle of the courtyard, responding to the joy in Hermione's heart. It shook its body from time to time, making movements like a fish leaping out of the water, splashing fine silver light in the air.

The wand drew an arc and was aimed at Loren. The dolphin jumped excitedly, shook its fins, and rushed straight towards Loren.

Loren's eyes were wide open and he remained motionless. A warm feeling approached, and the dolphin's kiss touched his forehead, scattering fine and crystal silver magic light.

Hermione's giggles echoed around the courtyard...

"Did you know? Dolphins are the most intelligent mammals in nature. They have large brains, complex cerebral cortexes, and high intelligence and cognitive abilities. Some dolphins can even understand music and communicate with people. "

Hermione sat on the sofa and babbled, her face flushed and her excitement did not subside. She danced and introduced information about dolphins to Loren, obviously very satisfied with her patron saint.

"Oh my God, I didn't expect to summon a physical patron saint at this time! Although I had noticed signs of its formation before, I didn't expect it to be a dolphin. It is very smart. I don't know if this has anything to do with wizards. .I mean, I've done intelligence tests, so maybe that has some influence."

"It's a pity it's not at school, otherwise I could check how many wizards have dolphins as their patron saints and test this conjecture."

She was in a happy mood, chirping a series of words like a little swallow.

Loren looked at Hermione's red face and the sparkle in her eyes, and felt sour in her heart.

She was obviously exposed to the Patronus Charm earlier than Hermione, and Dumbledore personally guided her...

"You must be lazy with the lighting spell, so you still can't summon the physical Patronus." Hermione smiled, but her tone was firm and could not be refuted. "I will write a note for you tonight. Regarding the key points of practicing the Patronus Charm, I will supervise it. You practice seriously and you will never be lazy again."

"My Patronus Spell is not a matter of practice. It is still expanding. If it does not expand to the limit, it will not solidify." Loren's face said "I don't want it," and I refused.

"So you have to practice harder and try to summon the physical Patronus as soon as possible." Hermione's reasons became more solid.

She began to make some suggestions:

"If you practice in the morning, you can practice a few more times in the evening, which will make it more efficient."

"If you don't want to endorse it, you can practice the Patronus Charm while I endorse it..."

Loren was even more miserable. When she was boarding at Hermione's house, she could play with her for half a day. Now that she has moved next door, she is being inspected all day long. Why...

I learned the Patronus Charm and Legilimency in the morning, and memorized it in the afternoon. Hermione repeated it over and over again in her ears, even if I didn't memorize it. I didn’t study so intensely when I was at Hogwarts.

Loren took a deep breath and must resist the rule of the study committee. If this continues, he will become a fool.

Before he could come up with any solution, Hermione pulled him to start practicing Legilimency again.

Thanks to Hermione's excitement, Loren saw many memories of her childhood through Legilimency, which showed that his Legilimency had reached the first stage, and the rest was about detecting emotions and thoughts.

In the evening, Loren returned home tired and exhausted. After asking Bates and learning that London had a large aquarium, his plan to skip school gradually took shape.

With longing for a better future, Loren returned to his bedroom.

As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by Flamel in the room. Loren looked at Flamel who was glowing slightly in the dark. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch it. His palm passed through the virtual image. He asked: " Is this also a new feature after the upgrade?”

"Upgrade?" Flamel understood the word immediately, "The appropriate word is indeed a new ability."

Loren became energetic and asked urgently: "Can other things in the Book of Fantasy appear outside?"

Flamel shook his head: "No, even I can only move around the Book of Fantasy, and I don't have the ability to affect reality."

"What's the ultimate distance?"

"About 33 feet."

That's about 10 meters, Loren asked thoughtfully: "Can other people see you?"

"Muggles can't see it at all. Some wizards can see it and some can't?"

"Why is this?" Loren asked in surprise.

Flamel spread his hands to show this body: "This is a shadow projected by magic power. My real image is still the picture on the cover. Some wizards can feel the existence of magic power, and some cannot."

"What about the sound? Can they hear you?"

"No, you can hear my voice because there is a unique connection between you and the Book of Fantasy."

Loren clapped his hands and shouted in surprise: "Wouldn't you be able to help me cheat in the next exam?"

His tone was very exciting, "Others can't see you or hear you, but I can. If you read other people's answers for me and then tell me, no one will be able to find out if you cheat."

Flamel looked at Loren without answering, turned around, turned into a stream of light, and got into the book of fantasy. He expressed his rejection through actions.

"It's just a suggestion, think about it..." Loren jumped on the bed, and his consciousness entered the book of fantasy.

…

The next morning.

After being raided by Loren once, Hermione postponed her arrival at Loren's house for a while and also avoided the second breakfast. Under her supervision, Loren's patron saint curse light group expanded a little more, but there was still no sign of condensation.

On the sofa in the living room, the two of them shared a bar of chocolate, which was the product of Granger Dental Clinic. The bitterness was better than the sweetness, and Loren frowned as he ate it.

After swallowing the last bit with difficulty, Loren pursed his lips and said seriously: "It's delicious. Remember to bring some to Principal Dumbledore after school starts. He will definitely like it."

Hermione threw the package into the trash can, drank a sip of water and rinsed her mouth: "Chocolate with less sweetness is good for your teeth, and don't you think this chocolate is more fragrant?"

Loren snorted, "How about we go to the aquarium on the weekend? I heard there is a dolphin show."

Hermione was very excited, but also hesitant: "But, our study plan..."

When she makes plans, she arranges them according to an entire vacation. Sudden changes may make her unable to complete her study plan.

Loren took a breath. There was still school weekend, and Hermione's study plan was endless. This plan had to be ruined, and he came up with a very valid reason: "Your patronus charm is a dolphin. Seeing real dolphins might help you."

After some push and pull, Hermione finally gave in, and the two agreed to go to the aquarium on the weekend.
