Back in the dormitory.
Argus then realized that he hadn't noticed the three system notifications in his mind.
[Congratulations, host, for defeating the sixth-grade champion. You have obtained the achievement: Champion (Sixth Grade)]
[Achievement Points Reward: 500]
[Congratulations, host, for defeating the seventh-grade champion. You have obtained the achievement: Champion (Seventh Grade)]
[Achievement Points Reward: 600]
[Congratulations, host, on becoming the head of the house and obtaining the achievement: Leader of Slytherin]
[Achievement Points Reward: 200]
"A bumper harvest! A great harvest!"
"I managed to pull more than ten times in one night!"
"It's a pity I only finished it in second year, so I lost two hundred achievement points. Sigh!"
Argus couldn't help but sigh at the thought that there would never be another harvest as bountiful as today.
"Never mind, let's do a 10-pull first!"
"System, initiate the lottery!"
Countless card packs appeared out of thin air, and Argus opened the ten card packs closest to him.
Familiar blue skies and white clouds... interspersed with a hint of purple light!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Conjunctivitis Curse (Level 3), Obliviate (Level 2), Protego (Level 2), Repello Muggleton (Level 2), Orchideous (Level 2), Ferula (Level 1), Rictusempra (Level 2), Confringo (Level 3), Protego Maxima (Level 2)]
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Incendio (Level 4)]
[Current remaining achievement points: 300]
[Host has been detected to have mastered some spells. Do you wish to fuse them?]
"Merge!"
The magical knowledge was poured into Argus's brain, causing him to feel dizzy and disoriented.
[Host possesses exceptional talent, having attained super-magical comprehension]
[Obliviate (Level 3), Arresto Momentum (Level 2), Rictusempra (Level 4), Serpensortia (Level 4)]
"Not bad. I've wanted to practice the Protego for a long time, but I haven't had the time."
"Even at level 2, it's still stronger than a regular spell."
"There's also super-strong armor for protection. As an advanced version of armor, without the system, it would take me forever to train it."
"The Incendio cannon is also a good thing. Dumbledore using the Incendio cannon to clear away the Inferi is a big scene in the movie."
"Unfortunately, my current level of magic is not yet sufficient."
Argus was fairly satisfied with the lottery draw.
The only regret was that the purple reward wasn't the Protego.
He actually had quite a few attack methods now, and a high-level Expelliarmus was enough to deal with most situations.
The Incendio paving the way was merely icing on the cake.
On the contrary, the Protego could both attack and defend, while also reducing the corrosive effects of dark magic on oneself.
Moreover, Argus himself was very curious about what his guardian deity would be.
"Let's save the remaining 300 points for now. We have class tomorrow, so let's get some rest tonight."
Argus hid the diary and locket he had brought in a box that had been enchanted with Capacious Extremis.
He buried himself deep in the pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning.
As soon as Argus arrived in the hall, he found many young wizards discussing the matter.
"What happened?"
He picked up a piece of bread from the table and, while eating, asked Draco, who was sitting next to him.
Draco, looking speechless, handed the latest issue of the Daily Prophet to Argus.
The headline above showed Harry and Ron driving a car.
Arthur Weasley's flying car wobbled through the sky.
"Our savior and his good friend have gotten into big trouble before school even started."
"We almost exposed the magical world!" Pansy's face was full of sarcasm.
"How was it finally resolved?" Argus did recall such an incident.
But he didn't quite remember how it was resolved afterwards.
"He's the savior, what could possibly happen to him?" Pansy replied sarcastically, glancing at the Gryffindor table.
Harry and Ron ate their breakfast nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.
"Looks like it'll probably be another point deduction and solitary confinement." Alexia also felt somewhat dissatisfied with this.
For committing such a serious offense, even if a normal student wasn't expelled, the Ministry of Magic would certainly investigate.
But when it was Harry's turn, he acted as if nothing had happened.
Deduct some points, put him in solitary confinement, and that's it!
How could the other students feel at peace with this?
Hearing the Slytherins' discussion, Argus had some other thoughts in his mind.
Perhaps this was a good opportunity to diminish Dumbledore's reputation.
It was true that he had become the head of Slytherin last night, but he also knew that becoming head of the house was Dumbledore's bottom line.
Slytherin was originally created by Dumbledore as Harry's enemy at Hogwarts to enhance Harry's reputation and cohesion within the school.
For Dumbledore, trading a pawn he had already given up for a peaceful stay at the academy was a worthwhile deal.
But if he wanted to further expand his influence at Hogwarts, Dumbledore would definitely take action!
There was only one way to break this deadlock: reduce Dumbledore's influence.
Harry's accident was a great opportunity.
In the past, Fudge might not have dared to say a word and let Dumbledore make his arrangements.
But now... Fudge, who thought he had control of the Auror Command and finally believed he had Dumbledore's weakness, was not going to let go easily!
As long as the two of them started arguing, he'd have a chance to reap the benefits!
While he was thinking, Argus had finished breakfast and went to the Herbology classroom with Draco and the others.
Professor Sprout's attire was unusual.
Thick earplugs were placed in her ears.
Good morning, children!
Good morning, Professor Sprout!
"Welcome to the third greenhouse, second-year students."
The Herbology class in the second year was different from that in the first year.
After a year of rest, they were ready to officially begin their encounter with the dangerous plants of the magical world.
The classroom was lush and green, filled with strangely shaped plants.
Professor Sprout waved to the crowd.
She took out a flowerpot from behind her back.
"Everyone, come closer."
"Today, we will learn how to repot Mandrake root."
"Can anyone tell me the characteristics of Mandrake root?"
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Argus.
Hermione and Argus were two recognized academic superstars in the second grade.
Their achievements were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Mr. Grindelwald?"
Upon hearing Professor Sprout's question, Argus smiled and stepped out from the crowd.
"Mandrake root, also known as mandrake, can be used to cure petrification curses."
"It is extremely dangerous; the sound of crying can be fatal."
"Most of them grow in Europe."
"In the past, wizards would use a cruel method to collect them."
"Lock a mandrake with a rope, tie the other end to a hungry dog, stand back and throw the meat out. The hungry dog will pounce on the meat, and the mandrake will be pulled out by the roots along with the rope."
"Use the barking of dogs to cover up the screams of the mandrake, so that even if someone dies, it won't be the wizard who dies."
"A perfect answer!" Professor Sprout exclaimed.
"Even some scholars who specialize in studying herbs may not know these things."
"Mr. Grindelwald, for your perfect answer, Slytherin gets ten points!"
