Chapter 31 "If I Had Never Seen the Sun"

She understood that if she stayed in an ordinary family, this kind of talent would only be abandoned by her clan members, so as long as Aaron Naama taught her anything before, she would understand it in the shortest possible time. If you can't understand it, you have to stay up all night to fight. At least you have to simulate the principle of the spell in your mind before going to bed. You must use a limited number of spells to master the practice of the spell before eating breakfast.

She has never dared to tell anyone about her terrible magical power, especially the Naama family, because she couldn't bear to be abandoned by the family again.

However, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, Aaron Naama still gave him a special set of wands. Her secret was discovered, but she was no longer panicking. As an adopted member of the Dubrovsky family, although she did not enjoy a luxurious life, she read a lot of books.

This kind of tailor-made magic item is definitely not cheap, and it is only suitable for people like her. I wonder if the Naama family planned to abandon her, would they spend this time and resources?

Therefore, she became even more diligent in studying, and even after the activities of the "Tutorial Club" were over, she would still hide in the Ravenclaw lounge to practice. Fortunately, Prefect Penelo Crevat also sympathized with wizards born in Muggle families and would not punish students who continued to practice after bedtime.

There was even a time when her whole body was in severe pain from training, and it was Prefect Crevat who used the levitation spell to send her to Madam Pomfrey.

"My dear, don't force it..." Madam Pomfrey choked with tears in her eyes: "The bloodline problem is not your fault. You should get more rest."

Katerina still remembered that after drinking the potion, Prefect Crevat helped her back to the bed in the dormitory, and also confiscated her wand, which had to be returned to her the next morning.

"Why do you do this? Isn't hard work the only way to protect yourself? Why should you deprive me of my right to work hard?" Katerina cried for the first time in school. She knew that her magic power was very low, too low to disappoint anyone, but why should she be deprived of the only opportunity to change?

Prefect Penelo Crevat originally wanted to keep her wand, but when she turned to leave, she suddenly heard a desperate murmur from the bed: "I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the sun; but now The sunshine makes my loneliness even more desolate.”

She paused, obviously understanding that this was a Muggle poem - "If I Never Saw the Sun" written by Emily Dickinson in 1872.

Now that he heard this poem again, the prefect finally couldn't help but cry. He held her and comforted her for a long time, letting her know the truth.

"... Bloodline breakthroughs usually occur after adulthood, that is, through natural growth or acquired training, the upper limit of talent is reached. If you continue to train forcibly, you can reach a whole new level... However, if you can break through at the age of 12, that is It means that the bloodline is extremely low... If you can't break through, you will be at the limit of this life... This is a very difficult road, and not many people in history have reached the upper limit at the age of twelve..."

All the classmates in the dormitory also felt sorry for her. She was the smartest girl in this grade and even in this college, but she had the worst bloodline in the school. Her hard work and hard work have become a role model for everyone in the college.

However, Katerina had never shed a single tear over this before today. She already knew the level of her magic power, and she just hated losing the chance to change.

In the end, Prefect Penelo Crevat agreed that she should continue training, but she had to promise to get enough rest on the day of her bloodline breakthrough.

That's it. Prefect Penelo Crevat saw her resting three times a week. Although she was sweating from the pain of each breakthrough, she still stubbornly stopped the twitching of her body. What did this get in exchange? Just don't let your magic power be thrown away by your classmates. While others were eating, drinking and playing around for a week, the magic power in their bodies grew faster than her three breakthroughs. Is this a fruitless competition really okay?

Prefect Penelo Crevat asked her directly, but she replied with a tired smile: "He didn't give up on me, so I have to live up to this trust."

"Aaron Naama forced you?" Crevat was a little angry.

"No." Katerina smiled and shook her head. "He just wants to help me and doesn't know that I'm practicing in private. Can you please keep this secret for me?"

Crevat respects her wishes, but dislikes Aaron Naama. As long as he sees him in the corridor, he will give him a cold look, and even deliberately cause trouble to make him confused.

That's it, the boring and boring courses go on day by day. Katerina also participated in one-on-one tutoring at the "Tutorial Club" every night.

She felt that Aaron Naama was really mature and steady, not at all childish like other children in the same grade. The three classmates in his class also often consulted him on their personal lives.

For example, the little catcher of Gryffindor heard that the Potions professor was threatening the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor again after the game. He also discussed with Aaron Naama how to solve this problem.

There was also the red-haired little boy who complained about being bitten by a baby dragon. Without saying a word, he cast a healing spell on the little boy to relieve his pain. He also listened carefully to where the baby dragon came from, where it was now placed, and who was taking care of it. .

These parents were mean-spirited, but they didn't make him lose patience, and they even acted like they were interested. Katerina feels that this fake fiancé really has no shortcomings.

Time flies, the sun and the moon fly by, and the final exam day is coming soon.

The three classmates often borrowed many books from the library and surrounded Aaron Naama to inquire about something, like a level or something.

No matter how annoying they were, Aaron Nama didn't lose his temper. At most, he just avoided them and practiced with the seniors. Katerina believed that he was worried that the O.W.L.s of the 5th graders and the N.E.W.T.s of the 7th graders were not as good as expected, so he was a little heavy-handed during the practice.

This was the 40th healing spell.

Katerina also had the guidance of her pseudo-fiancé every day, and her English level and magic knowledge had improved rapidly. When the final exam was approaching, she had begun to self-study the knowledge of the second grade. These textbooks were all provided by Qiu Zhang, who also asked Katerina to write some reading notes and thoughts on the books.

One day, after dinner, Katerina came to the Room of Requirement as usual, but found that Aaron Nama had left early with two first-year students from the same college before the end time. Before leaving, he apologized to Katerina and said that he could not take her back to the dormitory tonight.

"Excuse me, do they have an astronomy class tonight?" Katerina asked the Weasley twins politely.

George shook his head and said, "Harry and Hermione sneaked out on Sunday night and were discovered by Professor McGonagall. Bin was also implicated by them."

Fred saw that he didn't understand, so he explained the reason in detail.

Late last night, Harry and Hermione put on the invisibility cloak to escort Hagrid's Norwegian Ridgeback dragon to the tower and handed it to Charlie's friend to send out of Hogwarts.

Ron accidentally put Charlie's reply in the book and was discovered by Draco Malfoy.

Professor McGonagall found Draco Malfoy squatting in the passage leading to the tower late at night and deducted 20 points from Hufflepuff. Because Harry and Hermione left the invisibility cloak in the tower, they were caught by Filch on their way back, so Professor McGonagall deducted 100 points from Gryffindor.

Things didn't stop there. Dumbledore happened to pass by at this time. Hearing this, he instructed Filch to see if there was anyone still awake in the common rooms of each house, starting directly from Gryffindor.

Among the four houses, only Aaron Namar was caught in the common room. He was using a magic laptop with Isabel to deploy Black Wednesday, which began in September this year. He was taken to Professor McGonagall by Filch and was punished together with the four people who were caught.

Professor McGonagall's reason was also very strong - it was not against school rules to be active in the common room, but any student who wanted to sneak out would have to pass through here, so the students who knew about it but did not report it were accomplices.

This morning, any Gryffindor student who saw the hourglass of the house points would also ask why he suddenly fell to the last place. Then, Harry and Hermione became the most unpopular people in the house, and Aaron Namar became the most pitiful person.

Catalina learned that Aaron Namar did not blame the two classmates, and thought that she had not misjudged his character. He did not betray his friends, and did not confess that the two put on the invisible cloak and walked through the common room.

Today is the day they will be punished. Katerina, with stars in her eyes, hopes that their chores in the Forbidden Forest will not be too hard.

"Fuck you! Deng Bu Lao Die! If you don't mean it, I will blow up the principal's office live!" Chen Bin kept swearing in Chinese on the way, almost cursing Deng's ancestors for several times, which scared Harry, Hermione and Draco Malfoy to tremble. The unknown is the most terrifying, whether it is Chen Bin speaking angry foreign languages ​​or his undefeated record among classmates.

In a word - angry Chen Bin should not be provoked.

Suddenly, Chen Bin smiled strangely and walked over with a peaceful face.

"I'm sorry, we got you into trouble." Harry bowed.

"I'm a girl, you said that Chinese people don't hit women." Hermione weakly put her hands on her waist to strengthen her courage.

"It's none of my business. I walked out of the Hufflepuff common room and didn't get you into trouble." Draco crossed his arms in front of his chest.

Chen Bin ignored their reactions and walked past them happily to the front, looking at the oil lamp in Filch's hand. Because he was too angry, the Heart Purification Charm took effect again.

"Follow me, walk faster." Filch kept muttering bad things about the four people, which could be regarded as ideological re-education.

Although Chen Bin's mood was forced to be happy, he remembered Dumbledore's calculation in his heart. Originally, there was no such thing as innocent people being affected, but Dumbledore arranged for him to go into the Forbidden Forest together. He was very sure that Dumbledore knew that something would happen in the Forbidden Forest tonight, and he was more likely to upgrade the suicidal trio to a four-person group. But is Chen Bin really an upright gentleman who would not fight back even if he was calculated as a pawn?
