Conquering the Heavens: Beginning at Hogwarts

Chapter 73 Strange Ron

Dumbledore is very satisfied with Hermione's performance. She is smart, motivated, and loyal, and will work hard to help Pendor. This is what a partner should be like.

Yes, Hermione is Dumbledore's companion for Pendor, just like the Malfoy trio for Harry.

Pender is different from Harry, he has the relationship brought down by his elders, and has a very deep relationship network. Malfoy and the others also grew up with him, so it is very natural and easy to cultivate.

But Pendor is different,
As his nephew, he was born to be his heir and could inherit the Order of the Phoenix.

But if only one person airborne, it will definitely make other people uncomfortable, after all, Harry and the Potter family are the prophesied saviors.

And Pan De is just a genius who appeared halfway.

That's right, in the eyes of Lucius, Arthur and others, Pender is a genius, a genius just like the altered Voldemort.

But also just genius.

Dumbledore is not a completely good person, he also advocated power when he was young, so in his concept, everyone can be a tool,

Harry was, and so could Pendor.

It's just that the functions of the two tools are different. Harry is used to fight Voldemort, and Pender is his chosen heir.

Harry is the savior, and possesses all the qualities of a savior, benevolence, kindness, and fraternity, but because he is a savior, he lacks the ruthlessness that a leader should have, but Pender does not lack it.

It can be seen from his decisive killing of Death Eaters that this is also a decisive master.

So Pendor is Dumbledore's chosen heir, and Harry is the apparent savior.

Hermione quickly adjusted her posture, held her wand, and began to deal with the demonized porcupine.

"Humph."

The porcupine groaned twice, looked at Hermione with red eyes, and attacked directly in the next second.

Its speed is very fast, with a distance of more than 20 meters, it has crossed half of it with just one start.

Hermione took a deep breath, forced herself to suppress her panic, and launched an attack on the demonized porcupine according to the method envisioned in her mind just now.

"Transformation!"

Hermione used Transfiguration to turn a section of road in front of the porcupine into a quagmire, successfully slowing down the porcupine.

"All petrochemical!"

The petrifying spell was well used, successfully hitting the porcupine and trapping it in place.

But what comes next is the hard part,
It's time to get rid of it.

Hermione didn't have the means like Pendor, who could integrate spiritual power into magic power and refine monsters to death.

She also can't use pure magic to evolve monsters like a great magician or a magister.

All she can do is to kill it, in the most effective way.

She walked forward, the porcupine's body couldn't move, but the eyeballs were still very scary.

Upon seeing this, Hermione suddenly remembered that monster in the library before, on which her spell failed once.

Although it was because the level of that monster was higher, it also left a deep impact on Hermione.

You can't be too careful with monsters.

Thinking of this, Hermione stopped approaching, stood at a distance, cast another binding spell on the porcupine, tied it firmly, then moved a little closer, and stopped five steps in front of it .

The porcupine was immobilized by two spells, and as time passed, the effect of the petrification spell began to weaken, and it began to whine, looking very pitiful and helpless.

Hermione couldn't bear it anymore.

At the thought of killing a life with her own hands, Hermione couldn't help but tremble a little. She wanted to shrink back, but she didn't want to give up.

Anyone would be against it. After all, in modern society, many people have never killed a chicken, let alone a pig.

This is not pity, but reverence for life.

What's more, Hermione is only a 12-year-old child now.

Dumbledore saw Hermione's hesitation and entanglement. Sure enough, it was too reluctant for a child born in a modern society to do such a thing.

The psychological construction required in this process cannot be explained in a few simple words.

Just as Dumbledore was about to end the trial, Hermione moved.

Hermione held up her wand, she hesitated again and again, the idea of ​​wanting to become stronger to help Pendor still defeated her intolerance of killing.

She closed her eyes abruptly, raised her wand and pointed it at the porcupine, and cast a powerful sleeping spell, which hit the porcupine on the forehead.

"Humph--"

The porcupine screamed, kicked its limbs, and fell to the ground without moving.

There was no blood, and there was no continuous screaming, and the fact that the porcupine was a monster made her feel a lot better.

"You're doing well boy."

Dumbledore came over to comfort Hermione and patted her on the shoulder.

Hermione bit her lip, not daring to look at the porcupine.

"Don't blame yourself. You are helping it out. After being demonized, these animals and plants are suffering all the time. Only this kind of end can let them rest in peace."

"Hmm..." Hermione's face turned pale, which was the aftereffect of killing with magic.

The soul will follow your wand and magic power, and connect with you for a short time, which is one of the reasons why black magic can easily affect people.

After all, not everyone can resist the resentment brought about by death.

"Let's go back. Pendor will be back after completing the trial. You need to rest now, and then have a big meal to calm down."

Dumbledore smiled and led Hermione away.

at the same time,

Pendor is still climbing...

Back to Hogwarts.

Hermione took a shower first, then came to the auditorium to eat something, and then got ready to go to bed.

But while she was eating, she just sat there in a daze, without asking, she knew that she was thinking of Pender.

"I don't know if Pendor has completed the trial..."

Ron, who was sitting by the side, looked at Hermione's slightly tired face and her unconscious murmurs, and his jealousy towards Pender inevitably deepened in his heart.

"Hermione?" Ron called softly.

"what?"

"What are you thinking? The food has been spilled." Ron said as he helped Hermione clear the food from the table.

"Oh, thank you." Hermione nodded to Ron, and then continued to eat the food on the plate bite by bite, without the slightest thought of talking to Ron.

Seeing this, Ron couldn't help clenching his hands under the table.

But on the surface it was still normal, just smiled and continued to eat.

After eating, Hermione went to the dormitory to rest.

After eating two more bites of cake, Ron got up and said to Harry and the others, "I'm going first."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Harry was very surprised. Normally, Ron would go to the Dueling Club with them at this time, so he left first at this time?
"I'm not feeling well, go back and rest first." Ron forced a smile.

"Do you need to visit Madam Pomfrey?" Neville asked with concern when he saw this, his chubby face looked funny and cute.

"No thanks, I'll just go back and get some sleep."

Seeing that Ron refused again and again, the few people didn't say anything, but told Ron to be careful, and then excitedly walked towards the dueling club.

And Ron,
After confirming that no one was following him, he walked towards a certain floor.
