Chapter 551: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 233
She was holding an upside-down magazine; reversed, the name "The Quibbler" didn't change, as if a special magic had been cast on it.
Her nose was stained with a bit of dirt, and her hair was tied in a knot on top of her head. As soon as she saw Jia Siting, those protruding eyes seemed somewhat excited:
"Oh, I saw your bookstore in the newspaper; I guess you didn't write the book for Jin Jialong at first..."
She asked as if in a dream.
"Hmm."
At first, Jia Siting's notes were for his own use; it was only after Jia Siting organized and published them that they became paid content.
Jia Siting often thought Jia Siting should get a larger share of the royalties, but the two ended up splitting the proceeds fifty-fifty.
"I don't think Dad would pay people to write articles either,"
Lu Na said dreamily,
"They write because they feel it's glorious, of course, and also to see their names in the newspaper."
She was wrapped in a blanket, and as she spoke, she fell asleep just like that.
Jia Siting watched her; her shoes were missing again, and her hair was knotted...
He sighed silently.
Moonlight spilled onto the windowsill of the Ravenclaw tower, where there was always mist that seemed both real and fake.
Along these strange mists, one could vaguely see a "Children's Home" sign.
A black cat always started its journey from here; on its chest was an exquisite stone talisman, which was currently glowing with a faint light.
Beside a cluster of bizarre mist, the black cat tried many times; it seemed unable to pull Harry and Voldemort in together.
The bad news was that it felt a weak resistance, which was likely the root of its failure;
But the good news was that this resistance wasn't very strong; it had a premonition that after its soul transformation proficiency leveled up, it would be able to pull the feeble Voldemort into its boundary.
This meant that the black cat, which was Jia Siting, needed to spend more time on soul transformation.
It also meant he had to avoid those enthusiastic members of the Castle Spirit Cat Club.
The panel could also be opened in the boundary:
【You practiced soul transformation once at the standard of a proficient user in the Master realm, Master-level proficiency +10】
【Material Transformation: Proficient (10/3000)】
【Soul Transformation: Beginner (210/300)】
Not much left to go.
Sunday morning, as soon as Jia Siting opened his eyes, he saw the winter sunlight making the dormitory bright.
There was a notice board in the Ravenclaw common room; sometimes interesting notices would refresh on it, but more often, it just had class schedules and extracurricular activity notifications.
Now, the notice board was surrounded by Ravenclaws.
"It's a new notice..."
"Dueling Club? What does that mean?"
"Literal meaning, idiot."
Amidst the noise, Jia Siting also walked closer. Part of the crowd silently moved aside.
With one look, Jia Siting roughly understood.
Professor Qiluo seemed to have sensed that the Hogwarts students had developed some resistance to him, especially Xiang Hemin, who had asked him several tricky questions in a row.
Therefore, he was eager to do something to build his image, so he hurriedly started the Dueling Club.
Jia Siting once suspected that the curse on the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was taking effect.
Thinking this, Jia Siting walked into the Great Hall with his book.
Professor Qiluo didn't need much attention; Jia Siting was more concerned about the dungeons tonight; not only did he have to practice potions, but he also had to face Professor Sineipu because of the Chamber of Secrets incident.
In the Great Hall, there was also a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board, reading the text on a piece of parchment that had just been pinned up. Harry, Xiang Hemin, Jia Siting, and Luo En looked very excited and called Jia Siting over.
"They're going to start a Dueling Club!"
Luo En said, very excited,
"The first meeting is tomorrow night; I've studied Transfiguration for so long, it's finally coming in handy..."
"I wonder if the Slytherin monster can duel?"
A Gryffindor nearby said worriedly, but he was also reading the notice with great interest.
"It will always be useful."
Harry said,
"Jia Siting, are you going?"
You have to know, Jia Siting had defeated the Basilisk alone, and last night they were still reviewing the matter with Professor Marcus Marcus Maige...
Although Professor Marcus Marcus Maige's expression wasn't very good for some reason.
Now, Harry even thought that not even an Auror could easily defeat Jia Siting.
The members of the cottage subconsciously crowded Jia Siting in the middle; Jia Siting looked at the newly pinned parchment and pondered for a little while.
He really wanted to see how the curse would take effect.
The Basilisk had been dealt with; no matter how much of a fool Professor Qiluo was, how would the curse make him leave Hogwarts halfway?
Afternoon.
The Dueling Club began to take shape.
In the Great Hall, the professors stood together, seemingly testing the layout of the Dueling Club.
The long dining tables had disappeared, and a gilded stage appeared along one wall, illuminated by hundreds of candles floating above.
The ceiling had once again become as pitch black as velvet, and almost the entire school had come to watch, crowded together, everyone full of excitement.
"Looks good, I wonder who will teach us?"
Jia Siting said softly; they were standing outside the chattering crowd, turning sideways.
"Someone told me that Professor Fuliwei was a dueling champion when he was young; maybe he will teach us."
Xiang Hemin said.
"We'll know tomorrow—I hope we get a chance to duel on stage—"
Luo En had a burst of excitement; he had stayed in the Hope Cottage all day practicing and hadn't gone out at all.
And after a year of hard work, his Transfiguration had barely reached 【Proficient】.
At this moment, he was rubbing his hands, hoping for a fair duel with some rotten Slytherin.
Jia Siting glanced at the cottage members.
He suddenly realized that everyone had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Xiang Hemin and Jia Siting went without saying, while Harry's multiple spells had reached 【Proficient】, Na Wei's two wands were even more unpredictable, and even Luo En had made significant progress.
Environment can sometimes truly change a wizard.
Jia Siting thought silently; Professor Sineipu's last Potions class of the afternoon was about to start.
In this class, Gryffindor was with Slytherin.
And since the first year, three days a week, after the young wizards finished their classes, Jia Siting would go to the dungeons at night to practice potion brewing.
The dungeons. In an exceptionally tense atmosphere, the Potions class finally ended.
The wizards flew out of the dark underground classroom like birds out of a cage.
Harry was naturally kept behind in Potions class; Professor Sineipu told him to stay and wipe the flobberworms off the table.
And Jia Siting had already appeared at the dungeon door, looking at Harry; Harry inexplicably made eye contact with him, and both of their expressions were not very good. ===== CHAPTER 552 =====
