Chapter 74
Harry nodded and said,”Dumbledore said that I still have the protection spell cast by my mother on me. The effect of this protection spell can only be maintained if I live with a blood relative.”.
“So I have to live with Aunt Petunia.” At this point, he hesitated and continued,”But during the holidays, I can come back and live for a few days.”
“That’s great.” Freddy smiled widely.
“You can come over in the evening. Nina will come back. I hope you can meet him.”Freddy said with hope in his eyes.
“No problem.”Harry nodded and walked into the house. He wanted to see what his grandfather had just said. He left Flitwick and Freddy to chat.
Stepping into the basement, there was a wooden door tightly closed.
It exuded a strong magical aura. It was connected to the entire wall.
If someone wanted to bypass the door and break through the wall, it would be impossible.
But the strange thing was that on the left door, there was a shallow mark similar to a handprint, which was slightly sunken into the door.
Harry took a look, slowly raised his left hand, and slowly pressed it.
Grandfather said that only the Potter family could enter the basement, which meant that it must be There is some secret method to confirm the bloodline of the Potter family.
Harry put his hand print on it, and suddenly, he felt a slight prick in the palm of his hand.
Then the whole door made a click, as if the door lock was opening.
After the sound stopped, Harry tried to push the door, and sure enough, the door was pushed open smoothly.
Harry walked in.
The Potter family has more inherited books than Harry imagined.
Although not as many as Hogwarts, there are definitely not a few, comparable to the library of a classroom.
It is worthy of the Potter family, with a collection of books that has been updated and passed down from generation to generation.
Harry picked up a few books and took a look.
《The many uses of Transfiguration》，《Powerful defense against the dark arts》…
There are also potion books such as”Powerful Potions” that can only be found in the restricted section of Hogwarts.
Don’t even mention how Harry knows what books are in the restricted section, the invisibility cloak has something to say.
Harry picked a few books that he could use at the moment and put them in his bag.
Then he left here, hesitated for a moment, went upstairs, and came to the bedroom where he lived when he was a baby.
After a long time, Harry came downstairs and returned home with Flitwick. In the evening, he came back alone and met his grandmother Nina.
The grandmother was left in the portrait, also a beautiful middle-aged woman. When she looked at Harry, she always had a deep affection.
She talked a lot with Harry.
James and Lily went home for the first time, James and Lily’s happy life after marriage, and the happy period of the family after he was born.
Although this period was short, Harry listened very carefully and did not miss any details.
Harry did not go back until late at night.
The next day, Harry packed his luggage and Flitwick sent him back to London.
Aunt Petunia’s family was very happy about Harry’s return, especially Dudley, because he could eat his cousin’s cooking again.
His cousin had a two-month holiday, but he only ate his cousin’s cooking for one month.
He felt wronged and at a disadvantage. So he decided to eat more while his cousin was still in school. He felt that there was a little distance between eating too much and vomiting.
In the next few days, he would challenge this limit. In the remaining days, Harry stayed at home, reading the books he brought back from the old house, cooking, communicating, and making phone calls. His comfortable life eliminated most of the anger he had accumulated from killing in Clayfield Forest. On this day, he was going to Diagon Alley to buy books for the next semester. He had received the envelope sent by Hogwarts when he was at Flitwick’s house.
It was notified that school would start on September 1st.
And the books needed for the second grade.
He took a look and immediately found something wrong.
The professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this semester had obviously changed.
He was replaced by a man named Lockhart, who had to buy an incredible number of books, seven in total, such as”Breaking with the Female Ghost”》，《Hanging out with the Ghouls》，《Gilderoy Lockhart teaches you how to get rid of household pests》，《Holidays with a Hag.
It’s easy to tell from the title that this is all a novel written by him, not a textbook.
He asked Flitwick at the time.
“Professor, do you know this new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Is he a novel writer?” Harry asked doubtfully while holding the list.
Flitwick curled his lips and said,”He’s just an arrogant, boastful, and attention-seeking guy. I always thought that he should go to Gryffindor instead of Ravenclaw.”
Harry could hear the dissatisfaction and anger in Professor Flitwick’s words.
Obviously, Flitwick didn’t like Lockhart, but why was he in Gryffindor again?
Ah, so, what is Gryffindor’s reputation not only outside, but also in the professor’s heart?
“Professor, not everyone in Gryffindor likes to be in the limelight, like me.” Harry waved his hand and said, he thought he was very low-key, he just loved to study and didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs.
“Really?” Flitwick glanced at him. Weren’t you the one who was the most popular last semester?
Lion King!
Flitwick didn’t want to discourage this guy who had no self-awareness.
He continued,”As a freshman at Hogwarts, he is very narcissistic about his appearance. Although he has the capital, he even invented a selfie magic that can automatically make his photos beautiful. However, when he was testing this magic, he accidentally turned the walls of the entire school hall into narcissistic photos of him.”
Harry’s eyelids twitched slightly after hearing this. Pretty, pretty impressive.
“In the third grade, he tried a new magic, which he called Beauty Transfiguration. However, when he performed this magic, his face instantly turned into that of an orange kitten, which took a month to disappear.”
“In the fifth year, in order to make himself more popular, he created a narcissistic spell that allowed him to see the most perfect self in the mirror. However, he failed to cast the spell, resulting in him only being able to see his own reflection for the entire day, and unable to see other objects or people.”
Flitwick became more and more angry as he spoke. How could such a student appear in Ravenclaw!
But Harry’s eyes lit up.
“It seems that his level should be quite good, as he created so many spells during his time at school, although they are not very practical. Harry looked at Flitwick expectantly, hoping to get confirmation from him about Lockhart’s level.
After all, Hogwarts had not had an excellent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for a long time.
Although Snape’s teaching level was good during his substitute teaching, no one except Slytherin wanted him to teach two main subjects part-time.
