Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

"Is it really you?" Hermione asked.

“I know everything about you. Of course—I bought a few extra reference books, such as ‘A History of Modern Magic,’ ‘The Rise and Fall of Dark Magic,’ and ‘Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century,’ all of which mention you.”

"You mentioned me in 'A History of Modern Magic' and 'The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts' too??" Clearly, of the three books Hermione mentioned, Harry had only read the last one.

Isaac listened from the side, his expression growing increasingly subtle.

In the original timeline, Harry didn't have the leisure to read books, let alone extracurricular books.

Now, Harry... he can't really just run off and go straight to Ravenclaw, can he?

Isaac suddenly began to consider the possibility of running away.

Oh no, Fawkes isn't with him, he can't Apparate, and most importantly, Harry doesn't have a flying broomstick in his hand right now.

Could it be that... I have no choice but to accept my fate and go to Hogwarts to face Dumbledore's death stare?

Is Grindelwald there? Help him!

Hermione's expression was quite exaggerated after hearing Harry's words: "Oh my god, if I were you, I would definitely try to collect all the books that have my name on them!"

But you just mentioned a spell, right? Can I see it for myself?

“Oh! Of course!” Unlike his earlier eagerness, Harry now looked noticeably nervous.

Isaac was no stranger to Harry, but Hermione was definitely an outsider.

Harry looked around, hoping to find a prop, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything he wanted in the box.

So he took off his glasses and then slapped them so hard they broke.

Hermione's pupils contracted as she looked at Harry in shock, while Isaac, standing to the side, suddenly became calm.

"Restored to its original condition!"

"Completely cleaned up!"

Harry's wand fired two spells in quick succession, one of which restored his glasses to their original, undamaged state.

Another spell makes the glasses look as clean as if they were brand new.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hermione looked surprised, then spoke at a rapid pace, like a machine gun.

"I tried a few simple spells at home, just for practice, and they all worked."

Nobody in my family knows magic, I mean... how did you do that?

"What? The spell just now?" Harry didn't understand Hermione's meaning; it sounded a bit strange.

"What I mean is, how did you manage to use two spells in such a short time?"

I've never done that at home!

Hermione looked extremely excited and immediately decided to have a magical exchange with Harry before he enrolled in school.

Harry was suddenly speechless in the face of Hermione's enthusiasm.

Chapter 63 The Corner Curse Isn't Like That!

How did you do it?

A big question mark popped into Harry's mind: how should this be explained?

How can I explain that I can eat a pudding right after finishing a pie?

"Potter?" Hermione called out to Harry when he hadn't spoken for a while.

Coming to his senses, Harry cautiously explained to Hermione, "This... is something I can do normally."

"You...you can't do it?"

Harry, who was good at reading people, noticed that Hermione's expression was a little off and quickly asked Isaac for help: "Sir, do you know what's going on?"

Isaac certainly knew.

To put it simply, this is a young wizard's talent in magic.

It wasn't that Hermione lacked talent, but rather that something was off about the Harry in front of her.

A Harry Potter who spends all his time thinking about going to Ravenclaw, is that right?

Hermione's talent is already quite outstanding compared to her peers, as she can learn on her own from textbooks without any professors' guidance, even if it's just casting a few minor spells.

At Hogwarts, there are many young wizards who are taught by professors in class, yet it still takes them a long time to learn a single spell.

In addition, Harry himself is very talented, and he is also the savior of the wizarding world.

In the Muggle world, titles like savior or saint may not grant them any special abilities.

However, in the magical world, everyone uses idealistic magic.

The magical powers in the Harry Potter world are highly idealistic.

Even if a young wizard with no intention to kill uses the Killing Curse, he can only make an adult bleed slightly from the nose.

Harry has been called the savior for so long, and so many people in the wizarding world believe he is the savior.

Being able to do things that ordinary people cannot do makes one a true savior.

However, explaining this is quite complicated, because Isaac doesn't have enough evidence to support his idea.

Most importantly, Hermione is the kind of person who won't give up until she hits a wall.

So Isaac looked innocent: "No... I'm not really sure either—it's just a few spells, why would I need to cast a spell bar?"

Hermione's eyes immediately filled with worry; the clever little witch quickly realized a problem.

Is it that her magical talent is different from that of ordinary people?

Hermione has only known two other young wizards her age so far, and each of them can easily do things that she cannot.

Oh no, am I the worst student at Hogwarts?

Hermione, who hasn't even started school yet, is now genuinely worried about her future academic life.

Seeing that the atmosphere was tense, Harry quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Granger, which house are you planning to go to?"

Hermione was still a child after all, and she quickly snapped out of her worries.

Even if you worry, it's useless. Instead of worrying, you should study harder after you've been admitted to your chosen college.

“Gryffindor, of course!” Hermione answered instinctively, but she quickly began to waver.

"Actually, I think Ravenclaw is pretty good too..."

Hermione likely chose Gryffindor because of the people, rather than because she was attracted by the school's philosophy.

Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of our time, was born in Gryffindor, so for Hermione, going to a school should naturally mean going to the best one.

However, Ravenclaw's motto, "Great wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind," greatly increased Hermione's goodwill towards them.

Ravenclaw is a college that is naturally suited to all academic high-achievers.

“And you, Harry? Oh, you can just call me Hermione!” Hermione asked Harry.

“Alright, Hermione. Of course I’m going to Ravenclaw!” Harry was now full of confidence.

Hermione seemed very smart. Since I could do things that even Hermione couldn't do...didn't that mean I had a very good chance of getting into Ravenclaw?

Harry's confidence was too much for Isaac to handle. He didn't want to discourage the boy's enthusiasm, but he could offer a gentle reminder.

"Harry, it's quite an achievement to have learned a few spells before even entering school. So how did you learn these spells?"

Do you need to read the textbook?

Hermione looked at Isaac with a puzzled expression upon hearing this.

What's the point of asking such a question? Learning spells is simply about following the textbooks bought from the bookstore and then rigorously correcting your pronunciation and wand-waving gestures.

When you do something perfectly, isn't the spell already cast?

The reason she couldn't cast spells continuously like Harry was because each of her spells required complete concentration and focus.

Unfortunately, Hermione was still young and couldn't fully commit to a spell for long periods of time, so she had to readjust her spell every time she cast one.

Hermione looked at Harry, only to find that Harry seemed a little "ashamed to speak".

Although he was "ashamed to speak," Harry finally did.

"Actually, I didn't initially plan to practice spells directly, but all the precautions in the textbook gave me a headache..."

I simply ignored all that and recited the incantation according to the diagram above, and then it worked.

Harry now held the authors of the Charms textbook in high esteem.

As expected of a powerful wizard capable of compiling teaching materials, he can learn those magical spells just by waving a few wands and writing down the spells!

Hermione, listening from the side, felt increasingly uneasy.

She's not like Harry; Hermione was a top student back in school.

Harry's explanation, full of chance and "I think" power, left Hermione, who was listening in, completely bewildered.

The corner curse isn't like that!

You have to read through all the taboos of the spell one by one, and then memorize the direction and angle of the wand swing.
