Vol 2 Chapter 257: Seed and germination

Irving is not recognized, among the students at Hogwarts, Avon is best known.
He founded a very successful newspaper, far more powerful than the same age wizard, defeated the horrible snake monster, proved Professor Lu Ping's innocence, rescued Sirius Black, defeated the evil little dwarf Peter, etc. He made a lot of famous and even caused A sensation in the magic world
In less than two years, Ai Wen has done a lot of things that the wizard can't do in his lifetime.
Considering his age and Muggle origin, it is incredible to do this.
While envious of Avon, everyone has to admire his efforts.
He and Hermione spend more time in the library every day than all the little wizards, and even the students who prepare the wizard level test are not as good as the two.
Everyone can often see such a picture. Ai Wen and Hermione are sitting on the black long table at the innermost side of the library. They are surrounded by thick magic books or other materials. Two people quietly under the candlelight. Watching, taking notes, and occasionally whispering a few words.
In a quiet atmosphere, there is a touch of warmth.
The long table was their two fixed seats, and Avon and Hermione used to come there an hour after dinner, until 10 o'clock in the evening.
If it comes early, Hermione will prepare two cups of hot chocolate. Because there was no sugar, it was particularly bitter. Every time Evan was under the watchful look of Hermione, she frowned and drank, but this thing was very helpful for the spirit of ascension.
After leaving the library, the two of them walked in the dark castle.
Then return to the Gryffindor common room, chat with other people, play wizard games, or help Harry, Ron, and Colin complete their homework.
The work of Ai Wen and Hermione is very regular and everyone is completely familiar with it.
But since the beginning of the new semester, everything has changed unconsciously.
First of all, Hermione, because of too many classes, she travels back and forth between different classes every day, no free time. Every night, I am used to doing homework in the corner of the common room instead of reading in the library.
Ai Wen spends more and more time in the library. He is currently not involved in any college activities. As long as there is no class, he sits alone in the library.
Close to his seat, sometimes you can smell the pungent potion.
Any wizard who has an in-depth study of Potions will know that these drugs taken by Ai Wen are energetic agents that allow the user to concentrate, improve their attention, and not feel tired in a short time.
The materials needed for this medicine are extremely precious, and the little wizards generally do not use it.
But Ai Wen is forced to do it. What he lacks most is time.
He completely entered the bottleneck in the study of the black magic collections taken from No. 12 Grimaud Square, and needed to add more theoretical knowledge as the basis.
Because it is all the most sophisticated black magic, the theoretical knowledge that Aiwen needs to supplement is also very profound and complicated. He can only read and study in the library during the day.
When everyone is asleep at night, he will take out the taboo black magic books, and one will secretly conduct research and verify some of his ideas.
With the deepening of the research, Ai Wen's magic water strength has increased rapidly.
The side effects are also very obvious. In the long run, if there is no help from the potion, his body can't hold it.
In fact, Ai Wen’s recent anomalous behavior has also caught the attention of some people.
For example, the librarian, Mrs. Pins, can know her thoughts about Ai Wen from the growing worry on her face.
If she takes the time to talk to her, Mrs. Pins will be very willing to express her views on Ai Wen.
In her opinion, Ai Wen is likely to become an evil black wizard.
Many of the magic books he borrowed are taboo-like, all of which are theoretical knowledge related to black magic or dark creatures. Although there is no direct black magic book in the screening of the school, the frequent borrowing of these magic books is not a good sign.
However, Ai Wen has the approval of Sirius in his hand. Dumbledore also acquiesced in the behavior of Ai Wen. Although Mrs. Pins is worried, it is hard to say anything.
In addition to her, Ron is particularly concerned about the behavior and research content of Irvine.
Since I had inadvertently discussed the topic of Irving with Harry that night, the seeds of mistrust have sprouted in his heart.
Although he repeatedly warned himself in his heart, Ai Wen had rescued him many times from the basilisk and the little dwarf Peter. He should unconditionally believe in Ai Wen.
But when I think that Avon is likely to conduct evil black hair research, Ron’s innermost strange emotions are getting stronger and stronger.
It is undeniable that he is very embarrassed about Ai Wen, and he has everything he has.
Ron is used to this feeling. From childhood to him, he is very jealous of his brothers, they can have new magic products, achievements and so on.
After entering Hogwarts, he also passed Harry.
But in general, he still wants to believe in them. Ron’s innermost emotions are not so much awkward as it is to envy him, envy what they have, what they don’t have, strength, achievement, fame, and so on.
But now he is full of doubt and distrust at the same time as Ai Wen. Over time, Ron became more and more suspicious of what Ivan was doing, wondering what he was studying, what he had done, even his purpose of saving himself.
Ron knows that his thoughts may be a bit abnormal or even terrible.
He can be sure that he is not affected by any enchanting magic. This is his innermost real thought, and the seeds of distrust have sprouted.
Ron hesitated for a long time and finally found the answer.
He is not suspecting Evan, he is helping each other. If Ai Wen is really doing a black magic study, he should stop it as soon as possible.
When Ivan understands it, I should be grateful to him.
Unlike the librarian, Mrs. Pins, who found clues but was not prepared to take any action, Ron decided to investigate the content of Irvine's research.
He has discussed this with Harry many times on this issue. But there was no result. Although Harry was somewhat worried, he still believed in Irving. Harry repeatedly advised Ron that he might have thought things too complicated.
Even if Ai Wen is really studying black magic, he must have a legitimate reason.
In Ron's opinion, it was not the complexity of his own thinking, but Harry thought too simple. Like everyone else, everyone was confused by the surface of Ai Wen.
Since Harry is not willing to help, he is prepared to act alone.
Ron was prepared to start from the notebook he had secretly seen on that day, with a scary pattern on it, to figure out what Avon was doing.
Because he clearly knows the influence of Ai Wen in the school now, Ron does not intend to speak out before he investigates everything, nor does he intend to talk about it with other people. This is just a secret of his own.
After discussing it with Ron a few times, seeing him never mentioned it again, and Harry gradually put the matter behind his head and devoted himself to the training of Quidditch.
It’s just that he doesn’t even know that Irving’s work on the study of Dark Arts has left a deep impression on his heart.
Unlike Ron, who is ready to take action, Harry is just reluctant to think and not want to believe it.
However, the seeds of distrust have been buried, waiting quietly for the day of germination. (To be continued.)
