Since the first duel club, Lockhart seemed to find that his status in the hearts of the students was declining rapidly, and the activities of the duel club ended without a problem.
But after that, Schelling still maintained a good teacher-student relationship with Professor Lockhart.
From time to time, Schelling would visit Lockhart's office to ask some questions about Defense Against the Dark Arts, especially some vaguely described contents in Lockhart's works. Of course, Schelling would not forget to bring him a bottle of Ogden's Old Fire Whiskey every time, which made Lockhart embarrassed to reject Schelling.
Schelling's quick-wittedness and eagerness to learn made Lockhart feel very bad, just like when Schelling talked to him about the Humanoid Restoration Spell used in "Wandering with Werewolves" just now, he could feel that there was no admiration in Schelling's eyes, but more curiosity about the spell.
That genius is very interested in the Humanoid Restoration Curse!
If it was the past, teaching the other party the Humanoid Restoration Curse would undoubtedly be an opportunity to improve the relationship between the two parties, but it was a pity that Lockhart would not use this spell at all.When he heard Xie Lin asking himself, he almost couldn't answer, and finally he could only send Xie Lin away by saying that he needed to spend some time to sort out the professor's thoughts for him, but Xie Lin seemed to have seen through his thoughts long ago, and said that he would come to visit another day.
Lockhart had to go back to his former residence during the Christmas period to find something useful.
"Wandering with Werewolves" still left a deep memory on Lockhart-no way, the old Armenian wizard was old and ugly, and the clothes he wore were tasteless, which made him complain a lot.At the beginning, Lockhart spent a lot of time investigating this matter, and even visited the village that suffered from the werewolf scourge, and cast an amnesiac on the villagers living there, so that all those who knew the matter would forget about it completely.
Lockhart naturally has some understanding of the Humanoid Restoration Curse, after all, it is the most core spell in "Wandering with Werewolves".It took him a lot of talk to get the spell out of the old wizard's mouth.This is a spell developed by the old wizard from the ancient magic handed down from the Seleucid Empire, but he doesn't seem to realize the meaning of this spell.
Lockhart had thought about relying on this spell to become famous. After all, the spell that can temporarily transform a werewolf in wolf form back into human form is of great significance. So when he left, he not only erased the opponent's memory, but also stole the records and research of the human form recovery spell.If he could learn and publicize this magic, Lockhart knew very well that he would be famous in the world of wizarding circles.
It's a pity that things backfired. He tried for a full year but he still didn't even touch the fur of this spell.
Lockhart found the drafts of his own book over the years in his residence, as well as many secret achievements drawn from others - slow venom extracted from ghouls in "Swimming with Ghouls", a potion that resists hagsha mind control in "Holidays with Hags", a vampire amulet used in "Traveling with Vampires", and a humanoid recovery spell in "Wandering with Werewolves"...
Lockhart looked through it carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing else that could not be shown to Schelling, he brought the whole box of research materials back to Hogwarts and handed them to Schelling.
[Lockhart's research notes obtained! 】
During the entire two-week Christmas vacation, Schelling spent researching on Lockhart's research notes. Although Lockhart's strength is not very good, he is really good at writing books. This can be seen from his organization of materials and key points. In the research notes, every detail of the subjects he investigated is recorded in detail, and the arrangement is very neat and orderly, making it very comfortable to read.
Fast forward to the first week of January, the second term begins, and the little wizards are returning from Christmas break.
The three of Harry probably got a lesson and were silent for a while. Because Hermione put a cat hair into the compound potion as a human hair, she turned into a cat girl and stayed in the school hospital for several weeks.
Although Harry and Ron escaped the punishment of being expelled, they were imprisoned and sent to Filch to perform various cleaning tasks. Filch still believed that Harry killed his cat, so naturally it would not make Harry's life easier. He tried every means to assign the dirtiest and most disgusting cleaning tasks to Harry every day.
Under the influence of magic, Draco, Goyle, and Crabbe recovered quickly and were discharged from the hospital on the second day of hospitalization.Although Draco's embarrassment was only seen by a few people present at the time, the embarrassment about him being beaten up still spread like wildfire in Slytherin House, which made Draco, who has always been high-profile, look very gloomy and terrible during these days because he felt that he had lost face, and acted a lot more low-key.
Ginny tried to get rid of the diary and threw the diary into the girls' bathroom on the third floor, and then Harry picked it up, all of which was seen by Schelling who was invisible.
Schelling had experienced the Battle of the Dueling Club and the Battle of the Slytherin Lounge, and was already a minor celebrity in Slytherin House. The brilliant record of defeating Harry Potter twice made these young wizards deeply feel the gap between themselves and Schelling. Everyone recognized one thing: Schelling was not only No.1 in academic performance, but also seemed to be the strongest among the students in his class.
In the school corridors, many little wizards of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw would greet Xie Lin when they saw Xie Lin, while the little wizards of Gryffindor gritted their teeth at Xie Lin, as if they regarded Xie Lin as the number one public enemy of Gryffindor.
Xie Lin scoffed at the childish psychology of these little kids and ignored them.
To be fair, Schelling is different from Draco. Draco was full of admiration and fantasies for Harry, the figure who defeated the Dark Lord, when he was a child. As a result, when he proposed to make friends with Harry on the Hogwarts Express but was rejected, he can be said to have a complex emotion of love and hatred for Harry.He wanted to hit Harry in every way, he wanted Harry to see what a foolish mistake it was to refuse to be his friend!
Schelling didn't dislike Harry and Ron, to be honest-in his opinion, the grievances between Harry, Ron, and Draco were purely childish slapstick.
He never regarded Harry and Ron as opponents of the same level at all. His ambition and goal had always been focused on defeating Voldemort. Of course, intrigues with Dumbledore and other pure-blood families were indispensable; the two crushing of Harry was just a matter of chance, the first time was caused by Snape's selfishness and fueled the flames, and the second time was purely caused by Harry himself.That's why, in both incidents, Schelling chose to clean up Harry cleanly, without thinking about how to humiliate or ridicule him.
The dueling club incident reminded Schelling that Schelling decided to open a small duel club inside Slytherin, only inviting Slytherin students in the first and second grades to participate. Schelling's fame quickly attracted many members to the duel club, and almost everyone was there, even the self-important Theodore Nott and Blaise Zabini were no exception.
Schelling didn't teach them any powerful spells, or any combat skills that could quickly increase their strength, but started with the basics of holding and wielding a wand.
In the first few activities, the little wizards didn't say anything because of Xie Lin's fame. In fact, they were more or less disappointed in their hearts. However, after participating in a few activities, they each found that they had made great progress in the usual spells and transfiguration classes. Only then did they know how much Xie Lin helped them, and Xie Lin gained a good reputation again.
Since the battle in the Slytherin lounge, there has been no attack in the castle, and it has come to the Easter holiday in April.
Second-year students choose two electives for third-year.
Schelling had no interest in the three subjects of divination, arithmetic divination, and Muggle studies. As for the study of ancient runes, Schelling was not modest. Schelling doubted that Professor Bathsheda Babbling could teach him anything he didn't understand.
In order not to waste time on these courses that were of no practical use or interest to him, he and Draco only chose one of magical biology after communicating with Lucius several times, and then Lucius, through the influence of his school manager status, asked Hogwarts to reopen the "Alchemy" course that had been suspended for centuries.
Alchemy, a highly specialized subject, was discontinued for two reasons: lack of demand among students, and the difficulty of finding a qualified professor.
These two problems were not a problem at all for Schelling.
He was confident that most of his Slytherin classmates would take alchemy together, and finding a professor would not be too much of a problem for a pure-blood family.According to Schelling's knowledge, the two giants in the British alchemy world are the Nott family and the Burke family. Both of them are pure-blood families with deep interests in the Malfoy family.
At the same time, Professor Sprout announced that the mandrakes were having a boisterous, rowdy dance in Greenhouse [-], and that it wouldn't be long before they reached full maturity, at which point all petrified victims could be healed.The continuous good news made people gradually happy.Young wizards are also turning their attention back to the upcoming Gryffindor v Hufflepuff Quidditch match.
Just when Schelling thought that this dull life would last until May, the reality of deviating from the established track slapped Schelling hard.
Most of Slytherin’s little snakes come from wizarding families with deep backgrounds. Among them, the relationship between several ancient families has always been intertwined and complicated. These families are not only alliances supporting the concept of "pure blood supremacy", but also competitors in various struggles for power and pursuit of interests. For young successors, the family will instill in them the awareness of various competitions and the law of the jungle since childhood.
At the same time, in the sorting ceremony of the Sorting Hat, ambitious and conspiratorial people with ambitions and schemes are usually sorted into Slytherin.
Whether it was Draco who borrowed the money and power of the Malfoy family to successfully occupy the position of the Seeker of the Quidditch team; or Schelling who defeated the famous Harry Potter twice and successfully established popularity and fame among the little wizards in Slytherin; they were all regarded by other pure-blood families in Slytherin as a manifestation of the Malfoy family's intention to meddle in Slytherin.
Of course, given the current financial power and influence of the Malfoy family in the British political and business circles, not many forces would dare to challenge the Malfoy family on the open, but some temptations are indispensable.
Among the pure-blood families, the Lestrange, Rocher, and Black families were originally the most powerful. However, in the first wizarding war, these three families were also the most severely injured as the first birds. Both of Lestrange's direct blood brothers were imprisoned;
Except for the rumor that Ivan Rocher left an illegitimate son who fled overseas, the bloodlines of the other two families were almost cut off. Fortunately, Lestrange found a member of the clan from the common branch and gave him the identity to inherit the family. The Black family was much more unlucky. The descendants of the rest of Black's branches were all daughters.
In contrast, the families who knew how to protect themselves at the beginning retained a lot of strength. After the Death Eaters were liquidated, they took the opportunity to eat away at the industries and markets vacated by these three families. Coupled with the laissez-faire of the newly appointed Minister of Magic, Fudge, these pure-blood families gradually grew.
Among them, the most powerful is the Malfoy family. The thin Malfoy family has even attracted the Gore family and the Crabbe family to become its own vassal family. It also has a very close alliance and cooperation relationship with the Parkinson family and the Burke family.
Followed by the Avery family, the Knott family and the Carlo family, these three families have retained a lot of strength at the beginning, and after a lot of hard work, they think they are not much inferior to the Malfoy family.
Of course, Schelling also knew from Daphne that some less high-profile pure-blood families, such as the Greengrass family and the McMillan family, although these families do not often talk about the supremacy of pure blood, their behavior styles are not so perverse and extreme. These low-key families have also cultivated a strong force in the dark.
Take Greengrass, where Daphne belongs, as an example. In the past few years, some little-known small families have been annexed quietly. Even the Shafiq family with a long history has finally become a vassal of their family because of the relationship between Daphne and Meredith.
