Chapter 265: Hogwarts Learning Panel, Chapter 114

With a little connection to the background, one can know that before Alberta Toothill, everyone released powerful and long-preparation spells, such as conjuring a small mountain out of thin air.

That is, when she and another wizard good at Expelliarmus were active, wizards gradually realized that simple magic could produce great effects, which further led to the creation of modern standard spells.

Madam Pince liked these details very much, and her sufficient knowledge reserve allowed her to associate many interesting explanations.

In return, she would often stay in a position closer to the stove fire; other little wizards didn't dare to sit beside her, but Xiang Xien always sat down with his books.

On Halloween, she gave Xiang Xien a beautifully packaged "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft", which was full of her own notes.

Sometimes Xiang Xien and Madam Pince were more like pen pals; they both said very little, but wrote a lot when annotating wizard history.

Riding a broomstick back to Ravenclaw Tower, the scarf also slid backward under the action of the wind.

When landing on the roof, the Hogwarts castle had become deep in the night.

At this time, there was always a magic lantern lit for him at the window of Ravenclaw Tower.

"Cool—"

Michael brought the magic lantern in, and as usual, let out a low exclamation with a bit of envy.

Recently he found that Xiang Xien's magic broom was a Nimbus 2000, and occasionally, he would take it to observe.

Although Xiang Xien agreed to let him use it for a while, he, who was always careless, just smiled:

"Oh—Xiang Xien, I'm afraid not many people know this, but I always know. This is an important thing, it should only be used by you."

A low voice came to his ears, and Xiang Xien looked at the window—the snow tonight was exceptionally heavy, rustling and covering the entire castle.

So he put down the rune array books he had been worrying about, and some biscuits were placed next to them.

The biscuits were engraved with some magic arrays, because it involved advanced Transfiguration, Xiang Xien had been unable to make satisfactory works.

"Biscuits?"

Michael moved over from another table,

"Xiang Xien, it's surprising, you actually won't share with me—I feel not very good."

He saw that Xiang Xien had no objection, so he ate a biscuit, and in a very short time, wings and hair all over his face grew out.

Anthony had just entered the door and had to work hard with Xiang Xien to pull him who wanted to fly outside the window.

Xiang Xien took a breath and silently wrote on the parchment:

【Failed Owl Biscuit:

Reason for failure: Rune array error;

Failure effect: Transformed into a half-owl, and lost part of sanity】

After the failed Michael's transformation ended, his head was still by the window:

"Help—"

He was so scared that he wailed. Xiang Xien grabbed his left arm; in fact, his body was in the room, and there was no danger.

"Stop yelling. Also, you should eat another one, if you don't fall to death next time."

Anthony grabbed his right arm and said calmly.

"Why?"

This trick was very effective; Michael stopped making noise and was dragged into the window by them.

"Ketchledge was the first wizard to discover the properties of Gillyweed, thus becoming one of the Chocolate Frog card members... Maybe you can become the first wizard to transform into an owl and stupidly kill yourself—I'm waiting to buy your Chocolate Frog card."

Anthony went out after finishing, and suddenly whispered to Xiang Xien before leaving,

"Although I don't know what this is. But, Xiang Xien, maybe failed products can also be a kind of fun, just like many prank sweets."

When Xiang Xien was thoughtful, Michael chased out with a thud, his face flushed, so Xiang Xien knew he could be quiet for a while.

His attention returned to the owl biscuit.

His failure lay in his lack of understanding of runes; he could feel the nodes where magic power went wrong everywhere, but didn't know how to improve them.

So he recorded the problem and prepared to ask Professor Tela next Monday.

When the night was deep for a long time.

An owl flew from very, very far away, exhausted. Then it hit Xiang Xien's window with a loud "bang."

Xiang Xien quickly hugged it in.

This was an owl that looked quite spirited, with silver-white wings and white snow on it.

Flames emerged from the tip of Xiang Xien's wand, and two fire lizards surrounded it.

When the snow slowly melted, Xiang Xien took out a terrifyingly thick piece of clothing from the package it brought.

It was tattered, full of patches, and looked like it had been re-sewn more than once or twice.

Xiang Xien's gaze trembled; he suddenly thought of the kind old grandmother, Milan Taylor.

But no matter how he looked, there was only this piece of clothing, and nothing else.

Finally, Xiang Xien found five pounds in the hem of the sleeve, and a letter:

【Regardless of whether your big event will come, child, you once said that you could survive with just five pounds. Please keep these five pounds well, may you always have the courage of five pounds】

On the back of the letter, the place where it was sent, the street where the London orphanage was located was still piled with uncleared garbage bags.

A woman with rough skin sat by the window, her brows relaxed and then frowned.

Children in the orphanage are used to being abandoned, but that doesn't mean children won't be sad.

"For God's sake..."

She muttered to herself.

At the same time in Ravenclaw Tower.

The owl seemed to be relying on Xiang Xien's side, and it was playing well with the two fire lizards.

Xiang Xien knew that he would have to wait a while when he entered the Hope Hut tomorrow; he had already thought of Mr. Owl's words:

"Not allowed! You! Enter! Little wizard who changes his heart!"

At this time, the wind whistled from London, and hope grew wildly like grass seeds covered by snow in the greenhouse. ===== CHAPTER 266 =====
