Chapter 130 The Importance of Reliable Teammates
Sun Zhu, carrying a stack of books as thick as a brick, walked through the crowd and struggled to her original seat.
"Fina...quick, help me pick it up."
Fina, who was reading a book, looked up and quickly reached out to put the two books on the table that were about to fall.
"Zhu, are you crazy? There are so many books... "On the Application of Calming Magic Products" and "Psychological Counseling Guide for Facing Black Magic Incidents". Why are you reading these?"
Sun Zhu shook his head and pinched his sore arm.
"It's all because of Karina. You saw how she looked in the Potions class yesterday..."
"She's always like this in Potions class. To be honest, I'm really worried that she'll completely collapse one day." Fina propped up her chin and watched Sun Zhu flipping through the book. "There's so much, how can you read it?"
"Well, if it was just Potions class, it would be fine. But now she gets nervous even in Herbology class. She stares at green leaves and keeps shaking, saying to me, 'Green! That's the color of the Killing Curse!' I went to see Madam Pomfrey, and she told Carina to avoid looking at green for a while to ease her mood. If she continues like this, she may have to go to St. Mungo's for psychological counseling. I didn't let her watch Cedric and the others' Quidditch practice today, after all, their training ground is green..."
"This is too exaggerated. Zhu, to be honest, I don't understand Professor Snape's behavior at all... Does he want first-year students to face death? Didn't he consider students with fragile minds like Karina?" Fina turned the pen in her hand, looking a little irritated. "When I think back to that scene, I feel creepy."
"Fortunately it was a prop mouse." Sun Zhu sighed.
She actually understood Snape's actions. After all, it was very difficult to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes, and as long as one Horcrux existed, his resurrection was inevitable. So of course, the students in the school had to take precautions and make more preparations.
Dumbledore has told several professors about this, and the professors' course arrangements during this period are all based on this, but some professors are gradual and gentle. Professor Snape is the most direct one... I heard that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes of all other grades, he demonstrated several famous and powerful curses and their defense methods, and some even used live props.
"Speaking of Professor Snape, I remember that Karina couldn't accept Slytherin students appearing in front of her recently... because their school robes are green." Sun Zhu rubbed his temple with a headache, "I have to think of a way."
Fina simply closed her book and stared at Sun Zhu: "Although it sounds outrageous, it also seems to make sense."
Sun Zhu gave a dry laugh and caught a glimpse of the words "Key Points and Precautions for Animagus Transformation" written on Fina's book.
She blinked and suddenly understood why Fina had been so close to Senior Tonks recently.
Seeing that she noticed her book, Fina simply said, "After reading Professor McGonagall's Animagus Form, I became more interested in this magical transformation technique. Although Senior Sister Tonks is a natural Metamorphosis and has abilities that are several times stronger than ordinary Animagus without any training, she still knows a lot about this aspect. I can ask her for advice."
"You really want to practice?" Sun Zhu was a little surprised. "Actually, it's very difficult. For a first-year student to learn it, it may be more difficult than learning the Unforgivable Curse."
To become an Animagus, not only does it take a long time, but the conditions required are also extremely harsh. One must overcome psychological fears and have the best of luck. In short, the right time, right place, and right people are all essential. Sirius and his friends only succeeded in becoming Animagus when they were in their senior year.
"Let's prepare first. I'm going to learn it eventually." Fina smiled. "Please bless me, Zhu. Do you believe I can do it?"
"Of course, there is nothing my friend can't do." Sun Zhu nodded confidently.
When leaving the library, Sun Zhu was still holding her homework scroll and several books, and Fina also helped her get a few books.
"Can you finish reading all these?"
"It's okay. I have my own way. It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. There's no rush for now anyway."
Of course, she couldn't finish reading so many books. After all, she was not Hermione and could not read books as thick as a brick as entertainment. So she used the system prop, the divine eye water, and a drop of it strengthened her ability to capture information, which could speed up her reading speed and memory ability. The disadvantage was that it was effective for two hours and was limited to use in competitions. The side effect was to use no more than one drop a day, otherwise she would feel dizzy and weak all over.
But this was enough for Sun Zhu. After all, she just wanted to retrieve the information she wanted from the vast collection of books in the library. Through this, she could quickly screen out useful knowledge and then focus on it. Although there were other more advanced and convenient props in the system store, she still used the Divine Eye Water.
The reason is simple, it's cheap.
She has to spend her system experience sparingly.
Once again, I hate why the wizarding world is not yet connected to the Internet. Information retrieval depends entirely on brainpower, which is really inconvenient!
After dinner, they returned to the dormitory, and Sun Zhu handed the packed food to Karina who was playing with the cat.
"Thank you, dear Zhu!" She took a bite of the pie and returned the ingot that she had kneaded to pieces to Sun Zhu.
Sun Zhu felt Yuan Bao's resentment and couldn't help but want to laugh.
You deserve it, you ate so much that you can't run away, you can only become a kitten at the mercy of others, toyed with by the devil Karina. If you were still the catkin, you wouldn't end up like this.
Sun Zhu suddenly felt that using a cat to keep Karina in the dormitory was a good way to kill two birds with one stone.
Yuanbao can heal Karina, and Karina can make Yuanbao depressed.
"System, the food I gave Karina won't have any other side effects, right? Normally I wouldn't worry about this, but Karina is too psychologically fragile..." She added some "ingredients" to the dinner she just handed over, the Illusion Pill produced by the system.
"Don't worry, what you set for Karina is to turn all the green things she sees into purple. It won't have any other effects. This pill will last for seven days and it has already started to take effect." The system said, "But I believe the situation will change after seven days."
I hope so, after all, this is not cheap. And its functions are far more than these, but Sun Zhu doesn't need such powerful functions, just asking it to change color is enough.
She was really worried about her roommate.
"Also, host." The system continued, "Sirius is back, and Regulus's issue has been temporarily resolved. You will see the outcome of this matter in the Daily Prophet on Monday."
"That's great, he's finally back." Sun Zhu patted his chest, "Now Karina can regain some energy."
"In addition, the Department of Law Enforcement is negotiating with Gringotts regarding the Lestrange family vault. Current laws do not support the Ministry of Magic's direct intervention in retrieving the property of Azkaban criminals, but... Director Bones is preparing to draft new laws. If they are passed and implemented, they will take effect throughout the Ministry of Magic, and the goblins of Gringotts must also abide by this regulation. At that time, they will be able to take away Hufflepuff's gold cup openly." said the system.
Sun Zhu was a little surprised. She was originally thinking about how to take some extraordinary measures to solve this problem, but she didn't expect Director Bones to solve it by amending the law.
After all, although the Ministry of Magic does not have that much control over Gringotts, the wizarding laws passed by the Ministry of Magic are laws that all creatures in the wizarding world who have formal jobs must abide by.
No matter how reluctant the goblins were, they had no way of refusing the official forced transfer order from the wizarding world.
I have to say, it feels great to have a reliable teammate. Director Bones is indeed a Hufflepuff graduate!
"So, how long will it take for this law to be fully implemented?"
"Director Bones is a man of action, but no law can be implemented so quickly... So, she plans to resolve it before the current minister leaves office. It will take about a year." The system said: "From a time perspective, this is completely in time for you."
"The only hidden danger is that I don't know if the chain reaction will cause the prisoners in Azkaban to escape early." Sun Zhu thought for a moment, "If the Daily Prophet publishes something related to Regulus, it will inevitably cause a commotion among the Death Eaters who have escaped. If they take action in advance and help the Lestranges escape from prison, it will have a great impact on the matter of taking the golden cup. At the same time, the wavering Malfoys will definitely take action. The only thing I can be sure of is that Wormtail can't escape under my restraints, but the others..."
"You don't need to worry too much. Director Bones is also paying attention to this issue, especially keeping a close eye on the Lestranges. These Death Eaters are not powerful enough yet. If Voldemort's resurrection does not make any progress, they will have nowhere to go even if they escape." The system said: "In fact, Voldemort is now..."
"He is still wandering in the jungles of Albania, waiting for Quirrell to take him back to Hogwarts. He may have encountered Nagini, but Nagini is not his Horcrux yet. I wonder how the great Dark Lord would feel if he knew that his Horcruxes were targeted by his enemies?" Sun Zhu smiled at the Yuanbao in his arms, "I hope he will like this gift I gave him."
