Chapter 183 A Striving Young Man
Ron strongly objected to the sudden addition of a small snake to the Raiders' stronghold, saying that the pure Gryffindor team had been mixed with sand and might lead to serious route errors!
But Hermione didn't care about him. In her opinion, this kind of special training was only suitable for small-scale education. If they wanted to develop Hogwarts into a school like Royal Calypso, and cultivate students to be more outstanding and stronger...
It is imperative to change the form.
Directly abolishing the academy model established by the four founders might face significant resistance, but dividing classrooms according to subject areas...
And accepting students from any college would be a good idea.
This would allow students to develop in the direction of their own strengths. The professors' own clubs are a prototype of this form, but they are too individualistic and will be disbanded and reorganized as professors change, which is not conducive to the inheritance of knowledge.
In her vision, a separate classroom system could be established within the academy system, like the magic academy of Kalia, where each classroom would specialize in a particular school of magic, rather than simply being divided into two categories: spells and transformations. At least within the Radiant Stone magic she created, there were many schools of thought that could be distinguished.
However, all these reforms will have to wait until they grow up; their current immature state is hardly convincing.
Hermione, who harbors the ideal of teaching more people in the future, naturally cannot be limited to the Gryffindor faction. Everyone is a student of Hogwarts, and it is only natural to go to school together. How can they form cliques and be hostile to each other because of differences in personality?
Harry and Neville didn't have much of an opinion about Draco's arrival. Harry was simply indifferent; Draco was already far behind and no matter how hard he tried, he could never catch up. Neville, on the other hand, was a quiet and reserved person.
Moreover, his personality makes it difficult for him to exclude others.
Recently, the three boys have become a little giddy with pride after defeating the Death Eaters. They are so engrossed in the reporters' interviews that they can't pull themselves out of it. They feel that they are famous and important, and they have even given up on challenging Garyk in the Pensieve.
After Hermione brought Draco along, the four of them appeared inside the fog gate. Seeing the frantically charging at them with a large axe, the four boys were in a flurry of activity.
"The previous three people were able to enter the second stage, and now there are four of them. I suppose we can clear Stoneville City tonight?" Hermione's light voice came from beyond the sky.
However, the four of them were not as good at responding as they were when there were only three of them.
Although Ron verbally expressed his dislike and resistance, he was still able to prioritize in battle and wouldn't deliberately expose Draco to attacks. However, with an extra person, the original rhythm and teamwork of the three were completely disrupted.
After a moment of adjustment, Draco, while amazed by how the Pensieve worked, tried his best to prove himself, at least not to be a burden.
But the harder he tried to perform, the more likely he was to run into trouble. He had mastered the Crucifixion spell taught by Alekto, and with his magic and determination, he was able to stop Grik's movements, causing him to stop in pain.
But he was too eager to do things, and when he showed up to cast a spell at the wrong time, he almost got his head chopped off by Grik. This tied up a lot of Ron's energy and caused Neville to waste many opportunities, which further prevented Harry from causing any effective damage.
Less than ten minutes later, the four of them were thrown out.
"I told you we couldn't bring him! Look how messed up our rhythm is!" Ron complained.
Draco hadn't recovered from the shock of being split in two when he heard his companion's accusations. His face flushed slightly, and he deliberately suppressed the words he wanted to say in rebuttal: "It's because I'm inexperienced. Let me try a few more times, and I won't make this mistake again."
He promised Hermione that he would get along well with the trio; this was an opportunity he had worked hard to obtain.
This submissive attitude actually pleased Ron, who felt ashamed and realized he had been too aggressive, even lacking the magnanimity of Slytherin.
Hermione didn't offer further comment. Instead, she said to the trio, "Instead of blaming others for getting in the way, why don't you reflect on yourselves? Have you neglected your training lately?"
"Is it something to be proud of to defeat a Death Eater who can't even aim a Death Curse?"
"Have you forgotten what I said before?" Hermione criticized sternly.
"Harry, didn't you say you were going to practice your Ironclad Charm properly? Ron, your shield parry seems to have regressed too? And Neville, can you unleash a Kalia Swiftblade on your own now?"
Her questioning made the three of them lower their heads. They had indeed been busy showing off and bragging to their classmates lately, and had forgotten to continue to improve.
"A wizard's strength is never about how many spells he has mastered or how many books he has read, but about his own heart. If you are satisfied with your current state, then there is no need for special training. Go back to being happy second-year students."
She then turned to Draco: "Don't be discouraged. It's normal to feel uncomfortable after your first time in the borderlands."
"But you have to make the most of every night, because summer vacation is coming soon, and we won't see each other for at least two months. During that time, you'll have to study on your own."
"I taught each of the three Harrys different spells based on their individual characteristics, but this was based on long-term observation and familiarity. You may have to venture out in the borderlands for a while before I can determine which spells are more suitable for you."
Having decided to teach him, Hermione would not hold back. She treated every child equally and would never let anyone feel neglected. What Harry and the others had, Draco would have too.
Xiao Long nodded sullenly. The fight with Greg made him realize even more the gap between himself and Harry and his two friends.
Although Ron's words were harsh, he was indeed the one who made things worse and caused more trouble, and Ron had to keep saving him—that was a fact.
Harry was scolded by Hermione and realized his mistake. He gritted his teeth and said, "Again!"
Then, without looking back, he plunged into the Pensieve, followed closely by the other three, determined to prove themselves.
As the Finger Witch behind the Faded Ones, Hermione enjoys the pleasure of helping others improve. She feels a surge of joy watching the boys strive for progress under her encouragement, and then continues to transform into the moon, experiencing the new magic transmitted by the Faded Ones.
Although they still couldn't defeat Grik that night, the four of them had developed a better understanding of each other. In fact, while they were exploring Stoneville, Draco even discovered a path leading underground.
Of course, the result was that the four of them were severely punished by the rotten tree spirit, but this also improved their relationship a lot. Suffering together is always a good way for boys to get closer.
To Hermione's even greater surprise, the very next day, Draco actually convinced Narcissa that he wanted to go to the Burrow together during the summer vacation, not wanting to have to interrupt his chance to become stronger for two months.
And Narcissa actually agreed, which is outrageous! A Malfoy, she actually decided to go and live with the Weasleys for the first time ever!
This was undeniably dramatic, and even Mrs. Molly was astonished when she heard the news. However, the adults' disagreements back then didn't extend to the children. Mr. Yeather happily expanded the room again, and the Burrow was almost big enough to run a daycare center this summer.
