Return of Salazar Slytherin

16- A little bit about magic

The train picked up speed little by little, and the lovely couple of Mr. and Mrs. Granger as well as Lupet standing on the platform gradually turned into three little black dots whose faces were unclear. Then the train turned a corner and all three people disappeared.

Hermione sat back in her seat and took out a heavy tome from her bag.

"Hogwarts: A History, is about Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and its history. I love reading it. You can read it if you have time."

"I've read it, and it's very interesting to understand what happened after the four founders founded the school and after that how it is going."

Rhys didn't lie. He bought this book without even a second's hesitation after seeing it in Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. This book was also the first book he read in Diagon Alley—— Although the book contains more than a thousand pages, Rhys finished the tome in just two days and one night.

While reading this book, the thousand-year history of Hogwarts unfolded in front of him like a scroll, giving Rhys a glimpse of what Hogwarts looked like after he and his friends left.

It is like a sapling, growing up little by little and becoming what the planter wants it to be.

"Really? That's great -" After learning that Rhys had read "Hogwarts: A History", Hermione was so happy that she couldn't suppress her desire to discuss the contents of the book with Rhys, but before she could speak, their conversation was interrupted by two uninvited guests.

The door of the carriage suddenly opened, and a silver-haired girl as delicate as a doll appeared at the door of the carriage pushing a pile of boxes.

It was Daphne, the older sister of the Greengrass sisters whom Rhys had met at Borgin and Burkes.

"Ah, excuse me. Every other place is full, can I sit here?"

Although it was a question, Daphne didn't think she would be rejected at all. She pushed the pile of boxes into the cabin without waiting for Rhys and Hermione to agree. It wasn't until she walked in that she noticed that the person sitting in the cabin was The man she had met in Knockturn Alley before.

"It's you!?" She was extremely surprised.

In Daphne's opinion, there are only shady people in Knockturn Alley, and the same is most likely true for Rhys and Lupet, but who would have thought that Rhys was actually a student at Hogwarts? What's even more outrageous is that he is still a freshman!

How ridiculous is it that a man who was chatting with her father in a shop that specializes in selling dark magic items in Knockturn Alley has not even reached the age of going to school!

Her mouth was open enough to fit a baguette into it.

"The world is such a small place, isn't it?" Rhys welcomed Daphne's arrival.

It is better to have a cabin full of acquaintances than a large group of strangers with strange origins.

"Yes, the world is such a small place!" Daphne sighed from the bottom of her heart.

She decided to write a letter to her father as soon as she arrived at school, telling him what she had experienced on the train today.

She could bet that her father would not be able to guess who she met today.

She grabbed the top piece of luggage with both hands, stood on tiptoes, and lifted it to the luggage rack with great difficulty.

Rhys silently took out his wand and pointed at the pile of luggage that was half a person high. The luggage floated into the air and landed steadily on the luggage rack, neatly arranged in a row.

Hermione: "!"

"Did you just use the levitating spell?" She asked immediately after Rhys had packed up the luggage and sat back in his seat.

"Of course"

"But I didn't hear the spell being recited..." Hermione said with some uncertainty.

What just happened happened too fast, and she couldn't be sure whether Rhys was chanting a spell, but she was sure that Rhys used the levitation spell they would learn this semester.

"Oh, really? Maybe you didn't notice - Daphne, where is your sister? Why didn't Mr. Greengrass come to see you off?" Rhys tried to blur the subject.

Silent casting and wandless casting have almost become his instinct, but considering his age and the difficulty of these two kinds of casting, this operation is a bit too amazing for others.

For Rhys, who does not want to attract too much attention it's not a good thing.

Hope no one notices.

Rhys glanced at Daphne without any trace, and saw that she didn't seem to pay attention to what he had just done. He couldn't help but feel relieved. At the same time, he secretly decided that he would still have to pretend in front of others in the future, even if he said something casually.

"My sister is not yet in school. She is two years younger than me. My father took my sister to the hospital today, so I came here alone - My house elf was with me, so it's not that bad. "

She said it wasn't that bad, but Rhys could still catch a hint of regret on Daphne's face. She was silent for a moment and then said: "Thank you for the candle. It works very well. My sister has slept very soundly these past few nights and has never had nightmares."

It's not easy for the girl Daphne either.

Hermione could hardly sympathize with Daphne's experience, and now all she could think about was the spell Rhys had just used.

After Daphne finished speaking, she couldn't wait to ask: "Have you previewed the spells you will use this semester? I feel like you know all kinds of spells very well..."

"No, I just know a little bit."

This sentence is completely unconvincing.

Seeing Rhys admit that he "understands" magic spells, Hermione suddenly became interested: "I also tried to learn a lot of magic spells during the holidays. Is there any magic that you are particularly good at?"

Rhys blinked: "You ask me what I am best at, and my answer is that I am best at the magic of preserving ice cream."

"ah?"

Hermione thought there was something wrong with her hearing for a while, but when Rhys took out three large boxes of ice cream with a hint of white steam from somewhere, she suddenly felt that she had heard correctly.

"Wanna give it a try?" Rhys picked up a box of yogurt ice cream and pushed the other two boxes towards Hermione and Daphne.

"How did you do it? I remember it was clearly mentioned in Gamp's five basic Laws of elemental transformation that food cannot be transformed out of thin air." Faced with Rhys's operation, Hermione exclaimed, feeling that she was well-informed. Daphne's eyes widened as well - she had never seen such magic before.

The basic principles of the wizarding world were overturned in front of them.

"It's not conjured out of thin air. I simply combined a few not-so-complex spells to achieve this effect. I said I know a little bit about magic, had I not?."

The freezing spell is just a simple application of the traceless expansion spell.

A series of shocks made Hermione and Daphne numb. They carefully picked up the ice cream from the table and each tasted a little.

The cold sweetness told them that all this was true.

Most importantly, this ice cream is really delicious!!!!
