days at Hogwarts

Chapter 56: Offensive and defensive changes

The black-hearted capitalist Loren Morgan, who squeezed the venom out of the snakes, had to be moved by himself. With the help of the foreman Harry Potter, he quickly completed the workload of two boxes of snakes.

Loren re-covered the box and placed the test tubes containing the venom neatly on the shelf.Rest assured that Snape would return to announce that today's confinement was over.

Hermione's words made several people interested in visiting the storage room, but none of them dared to touch anything. No one knew whether Snape had cursed or poisoned these materials.

Harry felt that Snape had that in mind, leaving the office by himself, telling them to let go of their vigilance, touch anything casually, poison them to death, and leave no evidence behind.

Ron stood far away, curious about the value of these materials, and kept asking Hermione and Loren.

"How much is this worth?"

"The skeletons of invisible beasts cost tens of Galleons, and their furs are more valuable."

"what about this?"

"I don't know the price of the Winged Demon's wings."

After waiting for a long time, Snape never came back.

Combined with Snape's behavior of putting the Gallon that Dumbledore rewarded them on the table ahead of time, Loren speculated, "There should be no need to wait for him to come back."

The three Hermiones did not object, they could not have been waiting in the office.

Loren and the others checked again, confirmed that there was nothing missing, and left.

Ron happily walked in the front holding the small cloth bag containing Gallon, throwing it up, catching it, throwing it up, catching it.Hearing the crisp metal clash of the Galleon in the bag, heartfelt happiness welled up in my heart.

Tsk, good night.

Harry also felt in a good mood. Snape's confinement did not have Snape, and those tedious and psychologically stressful tasks were easily solved by his Parseltongue.

Loren and Hermione walked behind, not talking about anything, and followed quietly.It seems that everything can be said, and it seems that there is nothing to say.

Pace forward, walk through the dark shadows, and walk into the bright candlelight.You can feel that there is such a person around you, you are walking on the same road at this time, and you don't have to bother to find something to talk about.

At night, some moist air entered the lungs, and it was cool, making breathing easier.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Hermione asked, as if casually saying that the wind is fine today on the side of the road.

Loren was also very relaxed, "There is no arrangement, what's the matter?"

"I want you to accompany me in duel training."

"No problem at all."

The two became quiet again, walking side by side in the corridor, breathing comfortably...

A few people returned to the lounge, found a corner to sit down, and opened the bag to distribute the money.

There are a total of 60 Galleons in the bag, 10 more than Dumbledore said, and each person can share 15 Galleons.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and Ron was ordered by Mrs. Weasley to take leave for the weekend and go home. Maybe his ass will bloom when he comes back, but when he thinks of his new wand and the extra Gallon, Ron still can't stop. Happy to live.

……

Early the next morning, Hermione took Loren to the Room of Requirement.

With a straight face, Loren suggested Hermione also start with the Iron Armor Curse with a serious face. This is a curse that can be used for a lifetime and can defend against most evil curses.For those who have experienced magic riots, learning the Iron Armor Curse is the best choice.

Hermione stroked her thoughts, nodded in agreement with Loren, and started practicing the Iron Armor Curse.

It was finally time for me to avenge my shame. Loren couldn't keep her face up anymore, and the corners of her mouth raised uncontrollably.

"Is there a problem?" No matter how Hermione looked at it, Loren laughed suspiciously.

Loren rubbed his cheeks, "Ahem, it's okay."

After speaking, Loren began to tell Hermione some details of the Iron Armor Curse, the gestures when casting the spell, and the tone of the spell.

Hermione is no stranger to these. When Loren practiced the Iron Armor Curse, she watched Loren improve a little bit, and quickly remembered these points in her heart.

In the duel room built by the Room of Requirement.

Loren and Hermione stood facing each other, wands held up in front of them.From this moment on, Loren couldn't hold back his expression any longer, and showed a wicked smile that couldn't wait.

This smile almost had ill intentions written on her face, Hermione was a little apprehensive, tightened the wand in her hand, and focused on Loren.

It's my show!Loren thought.

"Are you ready?"

There was no sneak attack, Hermione relaxed a little, and said in a deep voice, "Get ready."

"Are you ready?"

The spell is coming, Hermione breathed out, "Get ready."

"Are you ready?"

Hermione finally understood that Loren was teasing him, she was a little speechless, but still responded: "Get ready."

Hermione remembered the scene of the two of them practicing for the first time. It was the first time she released the binding spell on someone. She was very nervous and asked a few times unconsciously.

Hermione thought it was funny, she was nervous so she repeated it, Loren actually remembered the scene until now, and still wants to reproduce the original scene.

Just when Hermione thought Loren would repeat it a few more times and was ready to answer it a few more times, Loren made a move.

"【All Petrochemical】"

Hermione didn't have time to react at all, she was illuminated by the white light of the curse, her whole body stiffened, her hands stuck to her trousers, and she fell straight down.

yeah!

Loren's treachery succeeded, and he secretly cheered in his heart.

Still keeping a calm expression on his face, he walked over, knelt down and looked into Hermione's eyes, pretending to be regretful: "Oh, it looks like you're not ready."

The little witch's eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at Loren's face. If there was magic to materialize her eyes, Loren would have been shaved to the bone.

Loren pretended to break the spell for Hermione.

As soon as the spell was released, Hermione immediately stood up and wanted to settle the score with Loren.

Loren squatted on the ground and looked up, looking at Hermione innocently, her sky blue pupils were very clear, as if to say, what's wrong with me, I just asked "Are you ready" a few times.

Hermione couldn't grasp the wrong place, so she couldn't get into trouble, her little white teeth clenched together fiercely, "Again!"

"Okay!" Loren replied straightforwardly, standing up simply.

The two dueled again.

Loren smiled happily, "Are you ready?"

When Hermione heard this, she wanted to call out her wand to Loren's face, but she held back and replied, "Yes." She didn't dare to relax at all, and was always on guard against Loren's sudden attack.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes--"

"【All Petrochemical】"

Before Hermione could finish her reply, she was hit by the Binding Curse again and fell to the ground.

You are dead, you are dead!

Hermione lay on the ground with her eyes closed, the words echoing in her head.

Loren squatted next to Hermione again, wanting to have a chat. Seeing that Hermione's eyes were closed, he reached out and fiddled with the girl's eyelashes. The girl's eyes were itchy, and she couldn't help opening them.

"This is also a part of actual combat. You have to learn to deal with the spell that strikes you suddenly." Loren's tone sounded serious, and he looked sincerely into Hermione's eyes.

Hermione was led aside, as if it were.

"Then, let's go on."

After Loren lifted the spell, before Hermione stood up, he walked to the side and took a duel pose.

"Are you ready?" Loren asked loudly.

Hermione hurriedly adjusted her posture, "Yes."...

The sparring is on the right track. With Loren's experience, Hermione can avoid a lot of detours, and the greater magic power will make it easier for Hermione to cast the Iron Armor Curse.

Although she couldn't prevent Loren's binding spell all morning, by the end of the duel, Hermione was about to grasp the feeling of the magic barrier.

The two decided to strike while the iron was hot, and continued to practice sparring in the afternoon.

On the way to the auditorium for dinner, Loren hummed an unknown melody, and anyone could tell that he was in a happy mood.

"Are you happy?"

Loren coughed twice and cleared his throat, "I have something important to announce."

Hermione tilted her head and looked at Loren, "Say it."

"Hermione Granger and Loren Morgan's current record is 22 to 23, and Mr. Morgan is temporarily ahead."
