“Senior, let's go!”
Around ten o’clock, Ethan appeared in the common room and issued an invitation to the senior on the couch.
Night allows me to be alone with the senior with her big waves, this damn charm of mine.
“Let's go!”
Penelope extended her hand, allowing Ethan to pull her up, and followed him out of the common room.
Within Hogwarts, she didn't fear Ethan selling her out.
Descending the spiral staircase, Ethan directly took out the Marauder's Map.
“I solemnly swear I am up to no good!”
Pointing his wand at the Marauder's Map and uttering the passphrase, lines of ink began to draw on the parchment. Among them, Filch was on the west side of the third floor, and Dumbledore was still in his office on the eighth floor.
Penelope, witnessing all this, was truly shocked. There was such a thing, it could actually know the location of everyone within Hogwarts, wasn't this invading people's privacy?
No wonder Ethan dared to go out on night walks without fear, if he could be caught with this thing, he was a ghost.
Just one point Penelope wasn't sure about, pure-bloods having such an alchemy tool was understandable, but Ethan, just like her, was born a Muggle, where did he get this?
Looking at the degree of wear, it must have been around for some years.
Turning to look at Penelope's gaze full of doubt, Ethan explained:
“This is called the Marauder's Map, say the passphrase I just said and it activates, you've seen the effect, it's also made by Hogwarts students, it's just that they've already graduated, and it was found by Fred and George by accident, and then they gave it to me.”
“Fred Weasley and George Weasley?”
For this pair of twins who were famous in Hogwarts, even if they weren't classmates, Penelope still knew of them.
They were too brutal in deducting points.
And their brother, Percy Weasley, had expressed his affection for her in third year, but was rejected by her at the time.
“It's them!”
“You have a good relationship with them?”
This is obviously a very rare alchemy item, no one would casually give it away.
And Ethan and the twins could be said to be worlds apart, different houses, different years, one Muggle-born and one pure-blood, how could they have contact?
“We’re very familiar, I even went to Hogsmeade with them this afternoon!”
“You also went to Hogsmeade?”
Penelope found that she was increasingly unable to understand Ethan.
Did he treat the rules of Hogwarts as nothing, was he sure he was a Ravenclaw and not a Gryffindor?
“Yes, is there anything wrong with that?”
Ethan nodded quite calmly, confirming.
“Do you know I'm a prefect, you dare to say that in front of me?”
Penelope sighed, in front of this junior, her authority as a prefect seemed to be completely nonexistent.
“Senior, will you tell Professor Flitwick?”
Ethan turned his head and smiled at Penelope.
Penelope patted Ethan's shoulder, looked into his eyes, and said with a smile:
“Next time, senior will take you!”
As expected, when it comes to flirting, it's still the seniors!
The two chatted casually, all the way to the eighth floor!
“Are you taking me to the Headmaster's office?”
Apart from the Headmaster's office, Penelope didn't know what else was on the eighth floor.
And practicing magic anywhere on the eighth floor, if there's a little noise, it's likely to alert Dumbledore.
“Just follow me!”
Ethan continued to lead the way until he stopped in front of the opposite side of the gargoyle.
“The Room of Requirement, Senior, have you heard of it?”
“The Room of Requirement?”
Penelope couldn't believe it, what place would dare to say it's the Room of Requirement?
“Walk back and forth in front of this wall three times, and focus your mind on the room you need, it will respond, and Senior, I don't like it being known all over Hogwarts.”
“Don't worry, Senior understands, now let me try if it's really that magical.”
Penelope walked back and forth three times, and then a smooth door appeared out of thin air on the wall.
Ethan didn't know what kind of room she had in mind, and followed behind Penelope with a look of doubt.
“Are you a little girl?”
Ethan couldn't help but complain, it was really a bit subverted Ethan's impression of Penelope.
Originally, he thought it was a room for practicing magic, or full of books, but it turned out to be a crystal palace from a fairy tale.
“Is there a problem?”
Penelope was quite excited as she toured inside.
Every girl had a princess dream of a castle and crystal palace when she was young, unfortunately, Hogwarts castle emphasizes practicality, not princess requirements.
After touring around, Penelope and Ethan opened a room for practicing magic together.
Ethan originally wanted to separate from Penelope, but Penelope insisted on being in the same room.
“Senior, try drinking this!”
Ethan handed a small bottle of green potion to Penelope.
This was a finished potion that Ethan had guided Michael and the others to make before coming here, Ethan wanted Penelope to try it out and advertise it.
Even if a first-year wizard praised this potion to the heavens, few would believe and buy it, especially since this potion cost five Galleons.
But a prefect was different, her public credibility in Ravenclaw was not low.
“What kind of potion is this?”
After shaking the potion for a while, Penelope couldn't figure out what it was.
“Love Potion!”
“Really? I don't believe it!”
Saying this, Penelope drank it all in one gulp, did she really think she didn't know a Love Potion?
It wasn't that color at all.
“Buff Brain Potion, when you practice magic, or study, you'll feel the effect.”
Ethan reminded her, it only lasted for twenty minutes.
“I've been studying the Protego Charm recently, let me try.”
Listen to advice, eat and drink well, Penelope went to practice on the side immediately.
The Protego Charm, many graduates wouldn't be able to use it, it was considered a very difficult spell, but if you wanted to participate in the Auror selection, this Protego Charm was a must.
After Penelope graduated, she wanted to try and see if she could participate in the Auror assessment, other magical departments wouldn't matter, she basically wouldn't be able to get in, but in fact, the Auror was also difficult, but there was still a glimmer of hope.
Ethan continued to practice the Incendio Charm on the side, preparing to first level up the Incendio Charm, and also practice Mjolnir.
She was practicing the Protego Charm well, when suddenly a wave of heat came over her, then she looked at the scene on Ethan's side, Penelope broke down, who was really a first-year?
This fire magic could be used by a first-year?
And the huge lightning hammer, how could she not understand?
Can it be confirmed that we are really attending the same magic school?
Until the practice ended and the flames began to dissipate, Penelope dared to walk over to Ethan's side.
“Ethan, what kind of magic did you just use?”
Handing Ethan a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, Penelope asked curiously.
She knew that some magic was passed down from the family, and wouldn't be easily revealed, but Ethan was a Muggle-born just like her!
“Incendio Charm and Mjolnir, the latter one is ancient magic.”
The Incendio Charm was indeed dark magic, but not an Unforgivable Curse, Hogwarts didn't teach dark magic, but that didn't mean it was illegal to learn or use dark magic, only if you injured someone would it be against the rules. (Many pure-bloods in their senior year, which one doesn't have one or two dark spells, Unforgivable Curses excluded.)
“I know the Incendio Charm, is Mjolnir Thor's hammer?”
Penelope had seen records of the Incendio Charm in the Ravenclaw common room library, it just didn't have specific learning methods, the description said it wasn't difficult to learn, the difficult part was control, but Ethan's control was quite good!
And Mjolnir, Penelope naturally knew about Thor's hammer, Norse mythology was very widely spread in Europe, especially in Britain, in the early Middle Ages, this place was the key area for those barbarians to invade, so that much of British culture overlaps with Norse.
“What's with this potion?”
Not focusing on those, she didn't want to inquire too much about magic, but the potion was given to her by Ethan, there must be a reason.
And the effect was really good, during that time her mind felt very flexible, and she found some points that she hadn't noticed before.
“Buff Brain Potion, five Galleons a bottle, you sell one bottle, I'll give you one Galleon, what do you think?”
This way, Ethan would earn about three Galleons per bottle, frogs were cheap, but this special potion oil was relatively expensive, one portion was about one Galleon.
Plus the few roommates doing hard labor, one pot was one Galleon, and if one pot was well controlled, it was five bottles.
In addition to Penelope, the Weasley twins could also help with sales, they were quite popular in Gryffindor.
“So you want Senior to help you with sales?”
Penelope looked at Ethan with a smile.
But there was no reason to refuse: “This, of course, no problem!”
Five Galleons for just twenty minutes was indeed a bit expensive, Penelope herself wouldn't be willing to buy it.
But those wealthy pure-bloods or half-bloods were different, she knew how anxious her classmates were when facing the O.W.L.s., if they knew there was such a potion, they would definitely buy it.
The profit in this was not small.
It was basically sending money to her.
