Chapter 110
"Haha, I'm fine. Do you believe what Malfoy said?"
Deverot smiled and shook his head.
Picked up a piece of pumpkin pie.
Returned to his seat.
Hermione pouted.
Holding a small cup of pumpkin juice and a croissant.
Sit next to him.
The two of them ate and talked about recent events.
Hermione was shocked by Deverot's experience in the past two days.
The expression on her face was richer than the illustrations in "Hogwarts History".
First, he talked about how he cooperated with professors and Aurors to chase dark wizards hiding in the school when he was in school.
They obviously heard that Quirrell was a dark wizard.
Hermione was not particularly surprised when Deverot mentioned it.
"What did you say? Marcus is actually an undercover agent of a dark wizard?!"
She almost dropped the bread in her hand.
"Yes, it's a good thing he was exposed early, otherwise I don't know what would happen."
Deverot said while drinking porridge.
Hermione's face was full of disbelief.
But then she was attracted by the silver-skinned giant described by Deveraux - the monster that even the Aurors and professors couldn't deal with.
It was actually dealt with by Deveraux's spell!
"So in the end, it just fell like that?"
Hermione opened her eyes wide.
His tone was full of suspicion and admiration.
"Yeah, that's it."
Deveraux dealt with it vaguely.
Of course he wouldn't tell Hermione.
He used the Killing Curse from the three unforgivable curses.
After all, he didn't want to be scolded for the rest of the day.
Hermione listened very attentively.
She didn't even eat a few bites of the bread.
"But why do you take such a risk?"
Hermione frowned.
"Chasing dark wizards, this kind of thing shouldn't be done by you!"
Deveraux spread his hands helplessly.
"I was also forced to do it. I can't just watch them run away, right?"
Hermione snorted coldly.
Obviously, he was not satisfied with this explanation.
"If you are so reckless next time, the dark wizard can't take your life, then I will ask Professor McGonagall to take it!"
Deveraux nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, Lord Granger is right, I will never do it next time."
Then Deveraux told her about what happened when he went to St. Mungo's.
He said that Madam Pomfrey was worried.
She forced him to go for a check-up.
Hearing that he was attacked in the hospital.
Hermione's face turned pale.
Deveraux laughed.
He could completely handle such an attack.
Hermione glared at him fiercely.
"You are making a light statement! What if they are stronger? What if you are injured? Can you pay a little more attention to your life?"
He never tired of reminding Deveraux to pay attention to safety.
Deveraux smiled and nodded.
After a while.
People came to the cafeteria one after another.
After breakfast.
The two left the Great Hall together.
Hermione excitedly recounted her experiences with Harry and Ron in Hogsmeade these days.
She went to various shops in Hogsmeade with Ron and Harry.
"Honeydukes' candy is really great! I bought some frosted quills and flying fish, I'll give you a taste at noon!"
"And butter beer, the taste of Three Broomsticks is better than I thought!"
Deveraux smiled when he heard it.
"You can go to Hogsmeade early in your first year, it's really a blessing in disguise."
Speaking of which, Deveraux only had Transfiguration class with them now.
It happened to be the first class on Monday.
Thinking about it this way, Deveraux himself now has the entry for [Transfiguration Spirit].
It doesn't seem to make sense to go to first-year classes anymore.
Why not talk to Professor McGonagall after class and let him take the senior courses.
When thinking about this,
The two were talking.
Just walked to the entrance of the cafeteria.
Ran into Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy's eyes widened.
Like seeing a ghost.
"You...what are you--"
Deveraux walked past him calmly.
Didn't pay any attention to him at all.
Halfway through.
Hermione suddenly stopped.
Ran to a notice board and looked at it for a few seconds.
Then turned back and shouted.
"Deveraux, didn't you go to the senior spells class before? Did you join this duel club?"
"Dueling Club?"
Deveraux was stunned for a moment.
Then he remembered that he seemed to have heard someone mention it in Quirrell's last class.
But at that time, his mind was full of research on the Unforgivable Curses.
He didn't take it seriously at all.
"No."
He shook his head.
Hermione nodded.
"That's right, you've been through so much recently, it's normal that you didn't join. NoIt's a pity, though. I heard that Professor Flitwick also mentioned that the champion will get a particularly powerful dueling spell! "
"Particularly powerful spell?"
Deveraux raised his eyebrows.
His eyes lit up immediately.
"Yes, it is said that it was Professor Flitwick's secret spell when he won the dueling championship when he was young!"
Hermione said with regret.
"If you have time to participate, you will definitely have a good chance."
Deveraux stood still.
The corner of his mouth slightly raised.
"The secret spell? Okay, it's interesting. "
Deveraux and Hermione chatted all the way to the Transfiguration classroom.
Then they separated.
Each returned to their own house seats.
Deveraux walked towards the Slytherin area.
Hermione returned to the Gryffindor area.
As soon as he sat down.
Harry and Ron waved to him excitedly.
But they entered the classroom too tight.
As soon as they stepped over the threshold.
Professor McGonagall's stern eyes had already glanced over.
Frightened, the two immediately sat back in their seats.
Deveraux glanced at Malfoy and his followers not far away.
Those guys looked like they had swallowed toad eggs.
A look of seeing a ghost.
As if he shouldn't be here at all.
Of course, Deveraux didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Today's course content is still the basic Transfiguration - turning matches into needles.
Most students have been able to complete it successfully.
Only Neville and a few classmates were still struggling.
Several iron wires popped out from the tip of Neville's small match.
But it couldn't turn into a real needle.
He was so anxious that he was sweating.
He tried several times but failed.
Deveraux felt a little sorry for him.
He wanted to go over and help him.
But Transfiguration is different from Potions.
Many times it requires the caster's own talent and precise control.
Neville's current level.
It doesn't help much to rely on guidance from outsiders.
Malfoy saw Neville's anxious look.
He immediately laughed at his followers beside him in a low voice.
The sound was just controlled to be heard by Gryffindor.
But Professor McGonagall couldn't hear it clearly.
Malfoy proudly took a match and turned it into a needle at will.
Then it turned into a match again.
"Oh, what's so difficult about this? Why can't some people learn it? "
As soon as he said this, his little followers also laughed together.
Neville's face turned even paler when he heard it.
He waved his wand more and more vigorously.
At this time, Deveraux suddenly had an idea.
He wanted to make the whole thing alive.
He picked up a match.
He waved his wand gently.
He whispered a spell.
The match instantly twisted and deformed.
Then.
A white pigeon flapped its wings.
It flew up to the ceiling.
It hovered gracefully in the air in the classroom.
"Oh my God! Is that alive? !"
There was a burst of exclamations in the classroom.
The classmates looked up one after another.
Their eyes followed the pigeon.
"Who did it? They can turn a match into a living thing!"
"It's amazing. I can't even make a match shake slightly, but someone can make it fly!"
"Who else can it be? It must be Deveraux! Who else has this ability besides him? "
For a moment.
Everyone's eyes were on Deveraux.
Their eyes were full of admiration and respect.
Although everyone has gradually gotten used to the surprises he constantly brings.
But turning an inanimate object into a living pigeon.
This is a difficult Transfiguration.
Usually they only see it from Professor McGonagall!
Professor McGonagall stood in front of the podium.
She raised her eyebrows slightly.
But she didn't seem particularly surprised.
She had long known about Deveraux's talent.
"Well, Deveraux, 20 points for Slytherin."
Her tone was still as serious as ever.
But there was some approval in her eyes.
However, after announcing the extra points.
Professor McGonagall glanced around the classroom.
She reminded seriously.
"But I want to reiterate that no matter how talented you are, everyone must complete the homework as required. "
When she said this.
She turned her eyes to look at Deveraux.
The tone was meaningful.
Deveraux shrugged.
He spread his hands innocently.
"Professor, I have always completed my homework on time."
But Deveraux did not do this for the applause and cheers.
He controlled the pigeon to fly over the heads of Malfoy and others.
With lightning speed.
Some warm things were left on the heads of the three of them.
Then it turned back into a match and fell to the ground.
The three of them jumped up and down in shock.
Goyle even took off his school uniform.Professor McGonagall's face darkened.
She deducted ten points from both Deveraux and Goyle.
It was equivalent to deducting the points that were added before.
Malfoy looked at Deveraux sinisterly at this time.
Deveraux smiled at him.
Then he started to instruct Neville again.
The bell rang.
The students stood up one after another.
They rushed to the next Charms class.
Deveraux didn't have to go to Charms class for the time being because of the class change.
So he stayed in the classroom and chatted with Harry, Ron, and Hermione for a few words.
Then he walked to Professor McGonagall's desk.
Professor McGonagall raised her head.
She glanced at him.
She spoke first.
"Alexander, you have made great progress in Transfiguration recently. However, the foundation of Transfiguration has been handed over to you. You need to practice more in the future. Come to me if you have any questions."
She seemed to think that Deveraux was the same as last week.
I came to learn a new protective spell.
Deveraux waved his hands quickly.
"Professor, this time I'm not here to learn a new spell."
Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows slightly.
She motioned him to continue.
"I want to apply for the senior Transfiguration course."
