The Rune Mage Starting at Hogwarts

Hagrid always trusted Rez.

Moreover, the best staple food for young dragons is a mixture of brandy and chicken blood. The preparation of this "drink" is also within Rez's area of ​​expertise. When Hagrid saw Nob "acting cute" towards Hab after seeing the food Rez prepared, Hagrid took the initiative to ask Rez to take charge of Nob's diet.

Afterwards, with Hagrid's consent, Ryze simply collected the remaining slime on the dragon eggshell, and while Hagrid was feeding Norbert, he quickly used a collection tool to take a small skin sample from the gaps in the scales on Norbert's back that were not yet fully grown.

The little guy tried to bite Ryze more than once, but with Aery's all-around protection, he couldn't hurt Ryze at all. In fact, every time he turned around to bite, Ryze would let Aery give him a light punch on the head.

If the dragon is disobedient, just give it a good beating.

......

They had come during break time, so after briefly looking after the little dragon and listening to Hagrid struggle with what to name it, they had to go back to class.

On the way back, it was Harry who took the initiative to ask Raz: "Now that the dragon has hatched, are there really no problems later?"

“I read in the book that it will grow to the size of an adult in just half a month, and in a few more months it might even be bigger than Hagrid’s house. If it gets discovered then, there will definitely be problems,” Harry said, then mentioned Malfoy who had been spying outside.

"And then there's Malfoy. He must have overheard what we were saying this morning, which is why he came along. If he uses this to threaten Hagrid, it'll definitely cause him a lot of trouble."

Rizzi waved his hand.

“This little dragon has just been born and is still too young. If we release it rashly, it won’t be able to survive in the wild. Hagrid will probably never forget it then. Let Hagrid raise it for another week or two. We’ll talk about it when Hagrid realizes that he can’t keep it hidden in his house forever.”

Rizzi then looked at Ron: "I heard from George and Fred that your second brother Charlie is currently in Romania researching dragons. When the Wizarding Auto Chess was designing the dragon pieces, George and the others wrote to Charlie and obtained a lot of information about dragons."

"You can write a letter to your second brother first and explain the matter to him. We can then figure out a way to send Norbert out in about half a month."

Ron paused for a moment, then quickly nodded: "That's true. Then let's go back and write to Charlie, and after we receive a reply, we can tell Hagrid about it."

However, Hermione was still worried about being discovered. After being immersed in Gryffindor culture for more than half a year, she was no longer thinking about telling the teachers or that they had violated school rules. Instead, she was thinking about how to make sure that Norbert would not be discovered by others.

It's safe to say that Hermione being sorted into Gryffindor was absolutely the most natural thing in the world.

Rhett told Hermione not to worry about it too much.

"Principal Dumbledore actually knew about this a long time ago, but he wasn't in a position to show it. However, he would cover for us in secret."

"Anyway, you guys just go to class with peace of mind. I'll have a good chat with my cousin."

After parting ways with Harry and the others at the edge of the castle, Rhett leisurely returned to the castle.

Their first class in the morning was History of Magic, which they took with Slytherin.

However, Draco Malfoy did not appear in class for the second period, apparently taking sick leave due to feeling unwell.

Ritz wasn't in a hurry. After Professor Binns finished his lecture in his monotonous and drawn-out tone, he went straight to Crabbe.

Crabbe's body trembled involuntarily as he saw Ryze approaching.

After all, since the start of the semester, Malfoy has provoked Reese several times in herbal medicine class, and he's always the one who ends up suffering the consequences.

The first time he attacked Ryze, he ended up breaking his own leg with a single punch.

Later, seeing that Ryze was out of sorts, he tried to trick Ryze, but instead, he ended up falling straight into the fertilizer bin.

Even though they managed to clean themselves of the excrement with magic, ever since then, both he and Malfoy seemed to always feel the disgusted looks of those around them, as if they still smelled that odor.

Needless to say, that's what happened after that.

To this day, they still don't know what curse Ryze has placed on them, causing them to have everything go wrong for months.

Crabbe is now so horrified whenever he sees Ryze that he just wants to get away from her and avoid her attention.

But Rizzi called Crabbe back, making him too afraid to move an inch.

“Raz...Young Master Raz, what can I do for you?”

Although Crabbe was a bit slow-witted, he still understood that Ryze was now considered the heir to the Black family.

Even Draco has to respectfully call him "uncle" now, so it's perfectly fine for a wizard from a small family like his to call him "young master."

Chapter 247: Tears of the Goddess

Hearing Crabbe's slightly trembling voice, Ryze didn't pay attention to the way he addressed him.

“Where’s Malfoy?” Rez asked directly.

"Draco went out after class and came back saying he wasn't feeling well and went back to the lounge. Is there anything you need to see him about, Master Ryze?"

Crabbe swallowed, his eyes darting around as he explained, "He said it might be because he didn't sleep well last night, or he caught a chill. If you have anything to say, I can pass it on to him."

"Caught a chill?" Ryze chuckled.

According to his memory, those two guys seemed to have foolishly cast a Fireball spell in the Room of Requirement in an attempt to kill Harry, but ended up being killed by the spell they themselves released.

Purely capable of more harm than good.

However, putting everything else aside, Crabbe and Goyle are not brainless and are not good people by nature, but their loyalty to Malfoy is unquestionable. From the first movie to the last, they have always been Malfoy's most loyal lackeys.

Crabbe didn't dare to reply. His chubby, round face showed a nervous expression in front of Ryze, and his face gradually turned red.

After all, he knew that Malfoy hadn't caught a cold; rather, after going out for a short while, he had returned with a very complicated expression and told them that he was going back to rest.

Crabbe could see that Malfoy's expression, besides being malicious, also contained some surprise and tension.

Then, Ryze, who had almost never approached them before, took the initiative to come to him after class.

He knew something must have happened between Reese and Malfoy during that half hour after class.

But he dared not betray Malfoy, so he could only pretend to be stupid in front of Ritz.

Seeing Crabbe's overly nervous appearance, Ryze reached out his hand.

“Go tell him I know what he’s thinking, and that he shouldn’t try to do anything with what he saw. If he can’t help himself, then tell him to come directly to me, understand?”

He straightened Crabbe's slightly askew Slytherin wizard robe and tie.

Crabbe felt as if something cold was wrapped around his neck.

Ryze appeared no different from usual, but Crabbe felt an extraordinary sense of dread from him.

“Yes, yes, young master Ritz, I will certainly relay the message,” Crabbe replied hastily.

He was so nervous that a layer of fine sweat had formed on his forehead.

Ryze didn't say anything more and stepped aside to make way.

Crabbe felt like he had been granted a pardon and scrambled out of the classroom.

Watching Crabbe's hasty retreat, Ryze composed himself.

He knew Malfoy wouldn't actually tell Snape, but indecisiveness had always been a trait of the Malfoy family.

If you don't give the other person a warning, they might think they haven't been discovered spying and start fantasizing about all sorts of weird things.

If we give the other party a warning now, their mood will probably stabilize, and they won't overthink it.

The Slytherin and Ravenclaw students standing nearby had no idea what Crabbe and his group were up to this time.

But now Ritz's reputation among the first-year students is hard to shake, so everyone subconsciously blames the problem on Malfoy and his gang, and is also very dissatisfied with Crabbe and Goyle's departure.

They must have been plotting something underhanded again, which is why they seem so guilty.

Reiz naturally didn't offer much explanation for the misunderstandings his classmates had.

It's no wonder that Malfoy and his gang haven't done anything worthwhile this past year, only disgusting people.

Rizzi's warning was clearly effective.

That evening, Malfoy sent someone to deliver a note.

The contents of the note were very timid.

The other party did not directly mention the dragon, but only said that he would never talk nonsense and hoped that Ryze would be lenient with them.

Ryze looked at the note but didn't say anything, thinking that the matter was pretty much over.

He has changed the outcome of the incident; Malfoy should no longer threaten Harry and the others, and he certainly won't dare to inform Professor McGonagall.

All he needs to do now is observe the changes in fate.

With that thought in mind, Ryze continued doing what he was doing.

The materials obtained from Nobel need to be studied, and the formula for the wolfsbane medicine also needs final adjustments and confirmation.

I'll be able to beat Easy Ryze in the Battle Arena in the next few days.

Compared to that, Malfoy's matter is insignificant.

But what Ritz didn't expect was that he seemed to have already inflicted enough psychological trauma on Malfoy in the previous months.

When Ryze sat at the long table eating breakfast the next day, looking refreshed, those around him were a little puzzled as to why Ryze seemed to be in such a good mood.

“Because I had a wonderful dream last night,” is what Rez tells others.

The real reason is that after struggling with Simple Ryze for more than half a month, Ryze, who had mastered several dark magic spells, finally made a further step forward in terms of firepower and successfully depleted Simple Ryze's health bar before his own magic power was exhausted.

After clearing the game, he received a reward he had been waiting for – the Tears of the Goddess.

It directly increases mana by 240.

It also has a passive "mana flow".

The effect is very simple.

He can gain an extra 6 mana points per day, up to a maximum of 360 extra mana points.

Ryze's mana is currently 450+, which is a lot compared to other wizards his age.

However, compared to older wizards, Ryze's short mana bar has always been his biggest weakness.

In duels, Ryze has to consider mana consumption if the duel lasts longer than five minutes. Skills like Ultimate Flash and Sunburst consume at least several hundred mana per use.

However, now that he has obtained the Tears of the Goddess, Ryze has finally taken the first step in wielding a spell-wielding machine gun.

Although it will take another two months for the Tears of the Goddess to be fully stacked, the 1000+ mana at that time will be a qualitative leap for Ryze's damage output.

Then he can really just randomly unleash Ultimate Flash and Arcane Comet.

Last night, after defeating the easy Ryze in the Soul Arena, Ryze challenged Sirius's NPC. With an extra 240 mana points, Ryze was indeed much more adept at casting spells.

Reiz was naturally very happy this morning because he could clearly feel that his weaknesses had been addressed.

But even under these circumstances, after having breakfast, Ritz received a second, cryptic note from Malfoy.

"I didn't see anything yesterday, so please let me go and take back your curse!"

Chapter 248: Malfoy, who was terrified by a nightmare

Rizz stared at the line of text for a while, his eyebrows slightly raised.

What does Malfoy mean by this?

I begged for mercy once last night, and I'm begging for mercy again today?

Does this person have something to say or not?

"What's wrong? Who wrote you a note? It's not a love letter, is it?" Michael curiously came over, glanced at the contents of the note, and then sneered.

"'Please take back the curse'... Who offended you, Ryze? What kind of curse did you put on someone?"

Rizz crumpled the note into a ball and tossed it into the empty plate: "That Malfoy guy must have lost his mind. Something bad must have happened to him again yesterday, and he probably thinks I've taken action against him again. It's nothing important."

He didn't have that much free time. Spying on Malfoy and his gang for the past few months had taken quite a bit of time. Back then, he could just find three or four unfortunate things to do for them every week.

Now that Malfoy has already voluntarily admitted defeat, there is naturally even less need for him to do these things.

“Malfo?” Anthony put down the Daily Prophet and turned to look at Slytherin’s long table.

“Yeah, I saw Malfoy when I went into the auditorium. The guy didn’t look too good, he looked pretty awful... Oh, and he’s still watching us.”

Rizzi followed Anthony's gaze.

As he looked up, Malfoy in the distance immediately panicked, nearly spilling the pumpkin juice in his hand onto Goyle beside him.

It's clear that the other person isn't in a very good state right now.

Her usual slicked-back hair looked a bit messy, and there were obvious dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well last night.

Feeling Ryze's gaze, he shuddered and quickly lowered his head, grabbing his fork and pretending to eat.

Because of her nervousness, Reese stared at the other person for a long time, but the other person didn't put the sausage on the fork into their mouth.

"What's wrong with him?" Terry asked curiously. "So what happened between you two yesterday?"

“It’s nothing serious, it’s just that they discovered some secrets about me yesterday, so they’re a bit uneasy now,” Rizz shook his head, completely unconcerned about what was going on with Malfoy.

After all, he hadn't done anything in the first place.
