After the incident in the secret room ended, Locke returned his attention to magic practice. Recently, he was studying the ingestion of divine thoughts.

This magic is suspicious of receiving other people's thoughts. It is actually mind-reading. It is not too difficult to learn it, but it is not that simple to apply it skillfully without letting yourself be affected.

If there is not enough proficiency, once the effect of the magic spell is activated, the voices of all the surrounding people will surge into the head of the caster.

With so many voices appearing directly in the mind, it is easy for the caster to become confused or even crazy. Only through rigorous training can one be able to selectively listen to the target's voice while automatically blocking other voices.

Therefore, when using magic spells, someone needs to cooperate with the training.

After Hermione found out about this, she originally wanted to volunteer to be a training partner, but Locke refused because she would be very busy next - the exam was about to begin.

Hermione signed up for a total of twelve courses, including seven required courses, five elective courses, and a total of twelve exams. Not to mention the preparation time, even the exam took four full days.

After the exam, the results were announced. To Locke's surprise, Hermione got all O's. This made Locke slightly surprised.

Hermione has a good talent for learning, and she is willing to work hard, but Locke also knows her strength. It is not surprising that most of her courses get the best evaluation, but just like the divination class, Hermione can only say that it is qualified.

Locke congratulated Hermione here, but he had thoughts in his mind, and finally looked at Dumbledore who was back on the stage to give his final speech.

Dumbledore seemed to have noticed Locke's gaze. He looked at the transcript in Locke's hand and Hermione beside him. He nodded subtly, making Locke understand that Hermione was doing this to some extent. It's like the back door has been opened.

Smiling slightly, Locke didn't say anything about this to Hermione who was elated about it, but just praised her and asked her to continue working hard in the future.

Also, Harry and Ron received the Academy Special Contribution Award for annihilating the basilisk, and became the focus of many people's attention. They tried hard to maintain a calm expression, but actually pretended to be cool when surrounded by everyone.

This semester that just ended, Harry's experience was ups and downs. Now that all the hardships have come to an end, he naturally wants to enjoy his own moment of glory.

During the holidays, Locke and Hermione also became the target of Locke's experiment to practice absorbing spiritual thoughts. To practice this spell, a relatively closed environment is needed to avoid receiving too much information when using the spell for the first time.

But at the same time, you cannot practice with just one person, because if you do this, you will not be able to block other mental processes and only absorb the target's voice.

In addition to Hermione, he also asked his two house elves to join in, and even played some recorded conversations to disturb his thoughts.

For ordinary people, this is a difficult process, but for Locke, who has a super high IQ, it only takes a little getting used to.

It's like Sheldon has a six-fold personality. When nothing happens, the personality in his brain will hold meetings and argue, so the amount of information is relatively easy for Locke and not stressful.

It takes more practice for him to distinguish between the read inner voice and external sounds or even voices, and choose to receive the information he needs to receive.

This process took Locke about more than a day. After hearing about this, Dumbledore, as the master of ingesting spiritual thoughts, even couldn't believe it.

"Teacher, have you ever heard of a time turner?" Hermione said to Locke when school was about to start:

“Every time the chronograph turns once, you can go back to the time and space of one hour in the past, and you can use it to do anything except change history.

Such a magical thing, if used for studying, can give you a lot of extra time and learn more knowledge. I want to apply for one, so that I don’t have to worry about not having enough time to study. "

"I think it's better to be more cautious about this matter." Locke said after hearing this: "Have you heard of a saying? Those who play with time will eventually be played by time."

It is impossible to say that Locke is not interested in time turners. He even has one in his own collection, but has not used it so far.

Things related to time are too dangerous. Locke is not prepared to touch time before he has enough ability. There are too many examples in the world of misfortunes caused by playing with time.

After hearing Locke's words, Hermione was a little unconvinced. She felt that so many people had used it and had not seen any problems with the device. However, because of Locke's strict prohibition, she agreed not to think about the time turner anymore. .

The new school year, as usual, begins with the protagonist Harry Potter encountering an incident. Sirius escapes from prison. The Ministry of Magic therefore sends out dementors to search. One of the dementors couldn't help but attack the school bus while searching for it. Harry, made him comatose for a long time, and also became the subject of many people's gossip.

But this episode did not affect the annual sorting ceremony. After the sorting was completed, Dumbledore made his usual speech and then introduced the two new professors.

Among them, the new professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is also an old acquaintance of Locke, the werewolf Lupine, and Hagrid has also been assigned to be in charge of the Protection of Magical Creatures class.

After the Chamber of Secrets incident, Lucius was kicked out of the school board, and Dumbledore's influence on the school also increased a lot, so he was able to arrange for Lupine and Hagrid to become professors at Hogwarts. Locke even played a role behind the scenes. force.

Because of the aftermath of Lockhart, many students had doubts about Lupine's true strength and adopted an observational attitude. However, their attention was quickly attracted by Dumbledore's final announcement.

The main reason was that the Ministry of Magic arranged for the dementors from Azkaban to be stationed in the academy until Sirius' location was captured. They also reassured many students, saying that the Ministry of Magic had guaranteed that the dementors would not interfere with everyone's normal life.

Of course, he also warned the students not to approach the dementors at the end, which also cast a shadow on many students' hearts as soon as the school started.

After the opening ceremony was over, Hermione found Locke: "Teacher, can you give me a key to the library?"

"No problem." Locke said, taking out a key and putting it in Hermione's hand, and then said:

"I won't tell you that you must not read books in the forbidden area, but your foundation is not very strong yet, so don't learn magic that is too complicated or dangerous. It is best to tell me what you want to read in advance, and I will help you. check.

Also, the library has counter-spells and protective weeks set up by me. If you are caught while wandering at night, just say you came to see me. "

"I don't know how to swim at night!" Hermione retorted with a red face, but her tone was relatively low, making her words unconvincing. Obviously Locke knew Hermione very well, and she must have done this kind of thing before.

Despite saying this, Hermione still carefully put away the key.
