Chapter 59 Freezing Curse
"It seems that our Miss Hermione is really suitable for being sorted into Gryffindor."
George couldn't help but joked after hearing this.
Hermione and Professor McGonagall belong to the same type of people. They are both people who follow the rules and follow the dogma on the surface, but in fact they are more adventurous than anyone else.
Eighty percent of Harry and Ron's actions that violated school rules came from Hermione.
He felt that the reason why Hermione was so angry with Harry and Ron at the beginning of term was not because they got into a big trouble, but because she was missing from the car.
Hermione's face turned red and she didn't retort, she just asked:
"It's a pity that I searched the entire library and couldn't find the "Powerful Potions" that Snape talked about in class. Without the recipe for Polyjuice Potion, you can't make Polyjuice Potion.
George, have you seen this book in the library? "
""Powerful Potion", I have some impression, it seems to be in the restricted book area."
George thought for a moment and replied.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Hermione's face.
"The forbidden book area, you can actually go to the forbidden book area?"
"This is also thanks to Professor Lockhart. As long as you learn to compliment his books a few words and then make up any excuses, you can trick him into giving you a note to go to the restricted book area to find books at random.
Next time you go there, I will help you find the magic book called "Powerful Potion". "
George winked at Hermione.
Since the last time he went to the restricted book area to borrow a magic book about the "Tracking Curse", he went there several times, but because of Dumbledore's surveillance, he never touched a book about dark magic.
What I borrowed were some magic books about advanced spells.
He can't learn those spells with his current ability, but it's better to memorize them first.
He took the initiative to help the trio this time because he also wanted to send a signal to Dumbledore.
A signal that he is Harry's friend and that he can help Harry in the restricted area, so that Dumbledore will be open to him.
Otherwise, he often uses Lockhart to enter the restricted area, and sooner or later Dumbledore will want to fix this bug.
The key point is that as the principal, Dumbledore is fully capable of this. As long as he says a casual word, he will no longer be able to happily look for books in the restricted book area.
He had this consideration in mind when he chose to get close to the trio.
"As expected, I just said Lockhart was a brainless idiot."
Ron was not particularly surprised by this. Ever since the incident with the elf in Cornwall, he had thoroughly seen Lockhart's true nature.
However, Hermione obviously didn't think so, and she retorted with a scream:
"He is not a brainless idiot. I checked that everything written in his book is true!"
"Forget it, I think it's because he said you are the best student in the second grade."
"Okay, although I agreed to help, there is a condition."
George interrupted the quarrel between the two:
"I heard Hermione that you used the freezing spell to easily immobilize a group of Cornish elves in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I have also been studying the freezing spell recently. I wonder if there is a chance to communicate."
Freezing spell is a kind of range-wide binding magic. It is very useful for creatures with relatively small strength, but it cannot restrain creatures with strong strength. People with such strength can easily break free.
But George was interested in this spell not because of this, but because the freezing spell also had a special function, which was that it could affect modern technological items.
Small technological items such as anti-theft alarms and surveillance cameras will stop functioning immediately after being exposed to the freezing spell, causing the machine to fail.
It is one of the spells often used by wizards in the Muggle world.
If he uses this spell against Iron Man, the Ark reactor in his body may be affected, causing Iron Man's steel suit to be paralyzed on the spot.
"No problem, I will tell you all the casting techniques of the freezing spell."
When Hermione heard that George, the star of Slytherin, asked her about magic spells, she immediately raised her chin proudly. She loved being a teacher the most.
In particular, George was very nice to talk to, unlike Ron, who was so stupid and taught him well and even lost his temper and ridiculed her.
"abnormal!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other and had the same thought in their minds at the same time.
The Freezing Curse is the most difficult spell to learn in the second grade. It will not be taught until the next semester. Hermione is already weird if she can learn it early. George has only been in first grade for a few months and he has started to learn it.
Sure enough, they couldn't understand the world of academic masters.
The next day, George used Lockhart's approval slip to enter the restricted area and obtained the "Powerful Potion" and handed it to Hermione.
However, before handing it to Hermione, he had already recorded all the potion formulas in the entire "Powerful Potion" on the computer through the Marvel system for later use.
I'm afraid even Dumbledore wouldn't believe that in just a few hours from the time he lent it to Hermione, he copied all the potion recipes in the book.
After receiving the formula for Polyjuice, the trio began to think of ways to collect the precious herbs in the formula, and Hermione, a potion genius, made the Polyjuice.
Polyjuice Potion is a very high-end magic potion that takes about a month to successfully refine.
George did not ask about these anymore, but continued to devote himself to the study of magic.
The time has quickly come to the end of November, and it is also the moment that the little wizards and wizards at Hogwarts are most looking forward to.
That is the Quidditch match held by the four major colleges in Hogwarts Castle every year. Every victory in a Quidditch match will greatly increase the points of the college.
On Saturday, the first Quidditch match began, Slytherin vs. Gryffindor.
At breakfast, the atmosphere at the Gryffindor long table was depressing, because they knew the difficulty of this battle. Except for Harry's Nimbus 2000, the speed of all their flying brooms was much lower than Slytherin's overall Nimbus 2001.
On the contrary, the atmosphere on the Slytherin side was very active, because they were very confident about the victory of this Quidditch match, and this confidence mainly came from George's performance in several training sessions.
"George, do we really want to do this?"
Flint, the captain of the Slytherin team, was hesitant.
George replied while drinking pumpkin porridge:
"I have already told the dean about this matter, and he also agreed. Since we are 100% sure to win, we must not let others gossip about us Slytherins.
We must let them know that we Slytherins really won this game with our strength. This is the pattern that we Slytherins should have!"
"Okay, then do as you say, but if we lose at that time, you will take full responsibility."
Flint gritted his teeth and nodded.
Although he felt that George's approach was unnecessary, the game was originally based on each means, even if it was a foul, as long as you can win, it would not hesitate, but since the dean agreed, he had nothing to say.
"So, you don't believe in my strength?"
George looked up at Flint, and Flint's face froze immediately, and then smiled:
"Of course not, how could I not believe in your strength."
George is the dean's favorite student, and whether the Slytherin team can win consecutive championships and honors before graduation depends on George, so he can't really offend him.
