"I'm studying Defense Against the Dark Arts, defense, defense." Anita emphasized, she moved her sleeves to fully reveal the title of the book, "Look, "Introduction and Breaking of the Curse"."

Ron looked a little skeptical, "I don't know exactly what to test in Defense Against the Dark Arts in OWLs, but what you learned is completely beyond the outline? If you want to test curses, I will definitely get T (Terrible)."

"Uh, well, OWLs are easy for a high school student like me. I'm preparing for the s (Ultimate Wizarding Level) exam and future career planning. You know next semester we'll get job search advice and Suggestions? Then we can choose the s subjects we want to take, which is very important for job hunting after graduation." Anita explained, "If I want to become an Auror, I must start preparing now. Remember that Aurors only accept the best graduates."

"You want to be an Auror?" said Harry in surprise. "I thought you wanted to be a Potions master, like Professor Snape."

"But Aurors are cooler, aren't they?" Anita said in a very longing tone.

Anita's words immediately resonated with Ron, "Of course, Aurors are the coolest. I also want to be an Auror, but Aurors are required to pass at least 5 exams, and the grades should not be lower than E (Exceeds Expectations) , you’re fine, I’m not sure about it.”

"Besides Defense Against the Dark Arts, there are charms and potions and herbs and transfiguration. Professor Snape will never give me an E," said Harry despondently.

Harry and Ron simply sat down and happily chatted with Anita about how to achieve the ideal of becoming an Auror.

The lie she told had to be made up on her knees, so Anita had no choice but to bite the bullet and tear it down.

Draco and Hermione stood aside, with the expression of "I'll just watch you pretend quietly."

After chatting for about half an hour, Ron, Harry and Quidditch practice left reluctantly.

"Goodbye, let's cheer for Auror's ideals together." Anita waved goodbye to Harry and Ron, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned her head to find Draco and Hermione looking at her condescendingly. "You better be honest" written all over your face.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?" Draco said.

"It's just to study the application of curses in defense against the dark arts." Anita tried her best not to look so guilty. "When Aurors are fighting dangerous wizards and criminals, they may encounter a time when they need to break the curse."

"Come on, we're not Harry and Ron, so we won't believe the nonsense that you want to be an Auror." Hermione threatened, "You'd better tell the truth, or I'll tell Professor Snape."

"My dad knows what I'm doing, or where do you think I got those sick notes from?"

"Your father knew you were working on the curse and didn't stop you? I don't believe it," Draco said.

"Anita, Draco and I are very worried about you." Hermione frowned, "Professor Riddle said that there is a price to be paid for curses, and this price is irrecoverable. I have no objection to your research on black magic, but Curses are really dangerous."

"I'm not trying to curse anyone." Anita looked at the worried look on her boyfriend and best friend's face, and compromised, "I found a notebook when I was sorting out my dad's things. It's the research on the cursed magic circle outside the Slytherin chamber. But Dad hasn't finished it yet, I want to continue this research, and that curse was also solved by mistake when I was in the second grade, I feel it's my responsibility to figure out that What is the curse?" Anita explained what happened in the second grade and the general situation of the magic circle.

"Let me help you." Draco said, "If it's a magic circle, I'm better at it than you."

"I can help too," said Hermione.

Anita frowned, "Studying curses, especially the curses left by such a powerful wizard as Salazar Slytherin, is still dangerous."

"Then we can't let you study alone." Draco insisted, and Hermione nodded in agreement.

Anita hesitated, but agreed. "You are the best." Anita gave Draco and Hermione a hug, "I will take you to the secret room to meet the curse circle, but be careful, the magic circle is very powerful, if you don't pay attention May be affected by..."

With Draco and Hermione on board, Anita's research on the curse progressed much faster.However, the magic circle was too large and complicated, and it was set up by Salazar Slytherin. Even though Tom had completed most of the research, Anita and the others still couldn't decipher it in a short time.

Busy time always flies by, and a semester has passed in the blink of an eye. On the eve of the Christmas holiday, Hermione asked Anita, "Where are you going to spend Christmas?"

"As in previous years, at Hogwarts, what's the matter?"

"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone premiered in London on Christmas. I made an appointment with Harry and Ron to watch it together. Do you want to go with me?"

Anita was a little dazed. The books and movies in the "Harry Potter" series were planned by Tom and the Holmes brothers last year to deal with Voldemort. No one thought that things would develop into what they are now.

"Anita, Anita, are you all right?"

"Ah, it's okay." Anita came back to her senses, "I won't go, you guys have fun."

Anita went anyway, alone.

The movie is well shot, the sets and props are designed with special care, and the magical world of magic is well reproduced.In order not to cause inconvenience to the life of wizards, Anita changed some content. For example, the platform nine and three quarters of King's Cross Station where the Hogwarts Express train stops, Anita changed it to Victoria Station to avoid the start of school. Sometimes, because a large number of tourists went there to visit, the little wizards couldn't get on the bus on time.But other than that, the "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" movie is exactly the same as the previous life.

The little actors did a great job too, albeit different ones - Anita checked and there were no Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson etc in the Muggle world People—but they captured the charm of Harry and the others very well. When Harry and the others watched others perform them in the audience, they would definitely feel very moved.

While the rest of the audience either marveled or laughed with the plot, Anita cried like a fool in the movie theater alone.

After the Christmas break, Anita, Draco, and Hermione continued their research on the curse left by Salazar Slytherin. They had classified the densely packed symbols and magic lines on the floor of the hall, and classified the Several symbols of the subject are picked out.

"The general construction method of the curse circle, the cursed should be in this position." Draco said, pointing to a few symbols at his feet.

"These symbols look familiar." Hermione said, "I should have seen this recently, or something similar."

"I also think it's very familiar." Anita rested her forehead in thought, "But where have I seen it?... Ah, I thought of it!" Anita clapped her hands and smiled, "Professor Babling is talking about several Did you show us similar texts in the ancient runes?"

"Yes, I remembered that too." "That's it!" Hermione and Draco said at the same time.

Anita traced those symbols on a piece of parchment, and went to ask Professor Babling for advice.

Professor Babling of Ancient Runes is a shriveled, wrinkled witch whose overall image is very similar to the evil witch in Muggle horror stories, but her knowledge of ancient runes is particularly profound.Professor Babling took the parchment, and she glanced at Anita and the three with her cloudy eyes, her eyes were as sharp as Dumbledore's. Anita and the three looked away guiltily, not daring to confront her. See.

Fortunately, except for the ancient runes, Professor Babling didn't have much curiosity about other people or things. Her eyes quickly focused on the characters on the parchment.

"This is a kind of rune from Merlin's time." Professor Babling said with a hoarse voice at the usual slow speed. "It is said that this rune was created by Merlin himself, and it contains powerful power. But this This kind of script has never been widely circulated, and very few people know it, and they are all very powerful wizards. This kind of magic script has basically been lost until now, and only a few characters have been handed down..."

"You know what these characters mean, don't you?" Anita asked anxiously. If Professor Babling didn't know, then no one in the entire wizarding world would know either.

Professor Babling gave Anita a displeased look, and continued to speak slowly, "These words are indeed among the few characters that can be interpreted."

The three of Anita looked at each other excitedly, "What do these words mean?"

"wizard."

"Which wizard?" Draco asked.

"It's not a specific wizard." Professor Babling said, "These words refer to the group of 'wizards' in general."

The three of Anita exchanged a look mixed with puzzlement and horror.

"Can you give me this piece of parchment?" Professor Babling asked, "The writing of these words is slightly different from what I have collected, and it is of great research value. By the way, you know these words What period is the word from?"

"Of course." Anita said blankly, "It was during the time of the Big Four."

After leaving the ancient runes classroom, Anita lowered her voice and asked impatiently, "What do you mean? Did Salazar Slytherin curse all wizards a thousand years ago?"

Draco frowned, "According to Professor Babling, that's what it means."

"The question is why would he do it, it's totally illogical," said Hermione.

"The question is what did he curse," said Anita. "What if he did it for the good of the wizarding world?"

"Have you ever seen a good curse?" Hermione asked rhetorically.

"Uh..." This is really not true. Cursing is a kind of black magic that prays for disasters on the cursed person at some cost. Otherwise, it is not called a curse, but a blessing.But Anita still insisted, "Anyway, I don't believe that Salazar Slytherin is a crazy person."

"It seems that we can only know the truth of the matter if we continue to study and find out the specific content of the curse." Draco said.
