The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

Loren's Patronus Charm is no longer suitable for practicing in the courtyard. The shining silver-white light can be seen several kilometers away. The light is soft and not dazzling, but very conspicuous.

So the place for practicing the Patronus Charm was changed to a sealed empty room. Loren's new home was too big, so there were a lot of rooms available. Moreover, he only lived here for a short time, so there wasn't much to store.

There was nothing in the empty room except the four walls and the floor.

Hermione was in the room, running along the walls, looking here and touching there with great interest.

"The layout of our houses is the same. Your house should also have the same room. What's so interesting?"

Loren was also checking the room, occasionally waving his wand to clean some blind spots that had not been cleaned before. The dust was crushed into a small ball and placed at the door.

"There are all things in the room over there. I have never seen an empty room before." Hermione thought this was very new. She reached out and touched the wall again, and her white fingers were stained with dust.

Hermione came to Loren's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a charming smile: "Quickly practice the Patronus Charm, and I will help you clean the room."

Loren said "tsk" and swatted away her unclean little hand: "The Hermione I knew before was not like this. You have become evil."

Hermione was in a happy mood: "Don't you know who you learned it from? Hurry up and practice."

She hummed a scattered tune and went to clean up the dust with her wand.

Looking at Hermione's back and reprimanding her inwardly, Loren walked to the center of the room and stood still.

His Patronus Curse continues to grow in size and shows no signs of condensing. To be honest, Loren was still a little anxious when he saw Hermione's little dolphin.

Even if the current body size is not condensed, it can handle a company of dementors. No matter how big it is, there must be a limit... Loren exhaled and said:

"[Calling God to Guard]"

Layers of rippling silvery-white magic light gradually filled the air, rippling with graceful curves. The silvery-white color became thicker and thicker, and the volume gradually grew, eventually filling the entire room.

Hermione froze in the corner in surprise, the light filling her sight, the whole world was filled with silvery white light, beautiful. In the center of the room, the boy's figure was blurred, and only his outline could be seen.

When I practiced the Patronus Charm in the past, although I could feel that Loren's Patronus was huge, in the empty courtyard, the light was scattered and there was no such intuitive shock.

But now, all the light is crowded in this room, restricted in this room, overlapping and stacked, creating a dreamy world.

Loren focused on casting spells, maintaining a stable and active magic output, and gradually increasing it to test his own limits. In his mind, he recalled all the happy memories he had in this world.

Hermione's company, Grandpa Bates's care, the joy of exploring the mysteries of magic, the admission letter to Hogwarts, the grass and clouds on the mountains, Sister Joyce in the orphanage...

The clear blue light appeared in the eyes, crystal clear, shining, as beautiful as pure sapphires.

In the room, the silvery white light shines again, and the silent loud noise trembles in the magical world!

In the bedroom on the second floor, a book placed beside the bed moved, and the figure on the cover opened his eyes. Flamel took a step forward from the portrait, looked down at the direction of the floor, his eyes full of approval, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What an outstanding talent."

Loren, who was casting spells with all his strength, was immersed in his own world. He faintly detected the boundary of the condensation. It was a feeling, an indescribable feeling, but he knew it.

He strives to lean towards that boundary, magic power, and positive emotions. Every element is fully deployed and responds to the wizard's magic. Get closer, get closer, but Loren can't reach the last line of distance.

Phew~

All the silvery white light and shadow converged back into the wand.

Condensation failed.

Loren withdrew her wand, breathing rapidly, standing there to calm her violently beating heart.

Hermione stepped forward quickly, holding Loren's arm with one hand, and gently patted his back with the other hand. Feeling the muscles under the palm that squirmed with breathing, Hermione comforted: "Take your time, don't be anxious, Patronus size Big is a good thing.”

Loren's disappointment dissipated under the girl's comfort, and he sighed: "You can already feel the critical point. Let's see how big it grows."

"Well, don't lose heart." Hermione carefully helped Loren go outside, as if caring for a wounded person, for fear of hurting him.

Loren felt a toothache when he saw the girl's movements. He was just tired from over-casting the spell, and he wasn't injured. Why should he be so cautious?

But it felt good to have someone taking care of him. Loren said nothing and silently let Hermione help him walk.

Hermione didn't realize what had happened until she put the person on the sofa. She blushed: "You are obviously not injured, why do you keep letting me support you?"

Loren, who was sitting on the sofa, blinked. His pure blue eyes were very innocent: "Didn't you insist on helping me? I can't refuse your kindness, can I?"

Bang!

He behaved well even though he got an advantage, and got beaten as expected.

"Hiss~" Loren held his shoulders and gasped, lying down on the spot, "This time he was really injured. At least hundreds of epidermal cells died, and many capillaries were broken."

Hermione, who came from a doctor's family, was not frightened at all, and even wanted to do it again. She snorted: "If you slap your palms, you can break more capillaries than this."

"But it really hurts." Loren complained. He rubbed his shoulders and sat up, reaching out with his wand and flicking it toward the refrigerator.

The refrigerator door popped open automatically, and two bottles of Coke jumped out from the side rail, flying towards the two of them, and finally stopped in front of them.

Loren held the neck of the bottle and took a swig skillfully towards the table. The bottle cap popped open and fell on the table. He tilted his neck and drank a few big gulps.

Holding the Coke in her hand, Hermione felt a little guilty and asked hesitantly: "Isn't it bad to drink Coke in the morning?"

Loren stretched out his wand and tapped the cap of the Coke bottle in Hermione's hand. The cap popped up with a pop and turned into a straw.

He then replied leisurely: "Not only is it not very good, it is simply very bad, very bad. This is a bad habit that damages teeth!"

Hermione looked sad. She asked to get an encouraging reply, not to open the bottle cap and finally tell her that this was bad behavior.

"But the bottle cap is open. If you don't drink it, it will be wasted." Hermione whispered, moving her lips forward to suck the sweet syrup.

"Don't waste it, I can drink two bottles!" Loren's smile was extremely hateful.

"Is Grandpa Bates going out again today?" Hermione asked.

Loren's smile faded, showing a serious expression.

Just when Hermione thought he was going to say something big. Loren asked with a serious face: "When did you learn to change the subject?"

This is a big problem. Hermione, who used to be innocent and lovely, has learned to use tricks.

Although she was still very immature, she had the awareness to change the subject. It would be difficult for Loren to divert Hermione's attention using the same method in the future.

Bang!

It hit the same spot as the previous punch, and it hurt even more.

Loren covered his shoulders and said in an aggrieved tone: "Grandpa Bates went to see the yacht. The bank manager introduced some yacht rental services. It is said that the price is very suitable."

Sure enough, the fist worked. Hermione took a sip of Coke and said, "Have you decided on the travel route? My parents seem to have left Grandpa Bates to arrange this trip."

"Grandpa Bates won't let me ask about the specific content."

"My dad was watching a TV shopping program recently, and it was all about fishing. If my mom hadn't been watching, he would have already called to place an order."

"Let your mother check it, maybe she has already bought it."

…

Over the sweet Coca-Cola, casual conversations bubbled up like bubbles, leaving deep memories in London's not too hot summer.

The finished Coke bottle is placed on the table, with the flat bottle cap lying inside the bottle. If the bottle recycler sees it, he will definitely wonder how the bottle cap was put in.

Sitting on the sofa, Hermione had a cute little face with some baby fat on her face.

Loren stared at the girl's brown eyes. Some kind of invisible bond flowed in the four eyes along the gaze. The crystal blue eyes were reflected in the brown pupils, establishing a wonderful and strange connection.

Memories of the girl's childhood appeared in their minds at the same time.

Loren was very restrained and cut off the contact shortly after the picture appeared.

It's one thing that Hermione is willing to open her heart to him, but that doesn't mean he can flip through it at will. The precious trust should be repaid with respect.

Although he usually laughs and laughs at this girl, Loren also cherishes the friendship between the two.

"Why is it disconnected?" Hermione tilted her head and blinked, with a confused and confused expression like a little squirrel, making people want to bully her.

Loren looked away with difficulty and said calmly: "I have initially mastered Legilimency. You can start practicing Occlumency later."

"Lend me your notes and I'll go back and make a copy tonight. Let's start again tomorrow."

"OK."

The progress of the Patronus Charm and Memory Magic stopped here, and the morning was free. The two of them nestled on the sofa to enjoy the tranquility and leisure.

After a long time, Hermione, who was about to fall asleep, struggled to get up and patted Loren, who was already unconscious next to her: "Don't waste time, get up and memorize this afternoon's review content."

Loren arched his body upwards, trying hard to open his eyes and look at Hermione, but his head was empty and motionless, he just stared at Hermione blankly.

After taking a few deep breaths, Hermione regained her energy and sat back down next to Loren with her notes in hand.

She shook Loren and stared at him with twinkling eyes: "Don't fall asleep, you know?"

"Not asleep." Loren muttered quietly.

Hermione traced the gap with her thumb and found a dog-eared page in the notebook. She opened it, read it once, and then recited it again:

"The spell of the Restoration Charm is to repair as before. It is a spell that can be used to seamlessly repair most damaged objects. The spell was invented by Orabella Nutley before 1754..."

Listening to what Hermione recited, Loren yawned and repeated: "Repaired as before."

The summer sun gradually rises, and the golden sunlight shines in from the window, making the room much brighter.

Hermione listened to Loren's concise content and did not force him. This was basically the situation with memorization these days. Hermione recited a large paragraph and Loren only selected a few sentences.

"The damage caused by some rare and powerful curses cannot be repaired by this spell, such as severe fire. At the same time, the repair spell can only be used on inanimate objects. If you try to use the repair spell to treat the wounds of people or animals, it will cause Severe scarring.”

"A powerful curse that cannot be repaired and will cause severe scarring to living objects."

"The repair spell can perfectly repair the container itself, but the liquid spilled from the container cannot be collected back into the container through this spell."

"...It's hard to recover when it's covered with water."

"For objects with powerful or complex magic, even using repair spells usually cannot achieve the desired repair effect."

Loren processed the sentence in his mind and then output: "Some things can't be fixed."

Hermione turned a page: "The lock-picking spell, the spell is Alajo Cave, also known as the Thief's Friend, is a spell that can open doors and windows that are locked and not protected by magic. This spell can also be used to open doors and windows that are locked and not protected by magic. A door locked by a locking spell."

The warm sunshine gradually covered them by the window and shone on their faces. It was warm but not hot. Loren remembered that when he was basking in the sun by the black lake, he lay on the uneven but heated stones and felt warm. of.

"Uh huh huh." Loren became even more sleepy, arched his back and shoulders, and recited randomly.

Hermione raised her head slightly and watched him move around in the golden sunlight.

She leaned closer and chanted clearly in Loren's ear: "Open the Alaho hole."

There was a slight itch in his ears, and Loren heard it clearly this time, and he repeated, "Open the Alaho hole."

"The spell was brought to England by Eldon Esrickel in the 17th century, until the Londoner Brygden Bligh invented the Anti-Alaho Opening Charm." Hermione read it over.

"This spell was brought to England by Eldon Esrickel in the 17th century..." Recite it again.

"It was introduced to England in the 17th century, leading to the invention of the Anti-Alajo Cave Opening Curse." Finally, it was shortened to something that Loren could recite directly.

Loren repeated automatically.

"The most popular lock-picking spell before [Alaho Cave Open] was [Door Open Sesame], which can break the door lock and leave a smoking hole in the keyhole. The earlier one was [Open Sesame] , it literally ripped the door off its hinges and chopped it all into firewood.”

Loren heard the familiar content and woke up. He opened his eyes, and the sun shone on his eyes, making them itchy.

He looked at Hermione's hand holding the book, which was white and delicate. Looking up, her beautiful thin lips were moving, her skin was white, and her whole body seemed to be glowing.

"Open the door, open the sesame." Hermione repeated the previous process.

“The most popular lock-opening spell before [Alajo Cave Open] was [Portal Cave Open]. This spell can break door locks into pieces… and turn them all into firewood!”

Hearing Loren's clear and loud repeating voice, Hermione looked up from her notebook, and the two of them met their eyes...
