Chapter 51 The Weasley brothers want to have a snowball fight
"Is this encouraging me to attack professors?"
Looking at the icon behind the achievement, it was clear that, like the previous ones, this was a sequential achievement.
There would definitely be Attack Professor (II), Attack Professor (III)...
"This is driving me crazy."
Dylan rubbed his temples.
He knew that even when he had killed a troll before.
In the end, he was only rewarded with some potion ingredients—troll snot.
A big lump of it.
Selling it could fetch a good price.
It perfectly compensated for him burning the troll's snot with Fiendfyre.
"This time I only used a Confundus Charm on Quirrell, so what about later?"
Would the subsequent achievements require him to use Diffindo or even Avada Kedavra on a professor to unlock them?
"Tsk!"
Dylan opened his book and lowered his head.
But his gaze fell on the top of the system panel.
A star was shining brightly at the top of the panel. Although not as brilliant as the previous max-level high-grade spell, it was still very dazzling.
"Let me see what spell I can draw this time. It's just an elementary spell, it can't be too outrageous, right?"
As Dylan's mind moved, he seemed to enter a world. Looking up, he could see the star above.
Just then, the star trembled violently, and golden and silver colors suddenly swirled around it.
In the next instant, the star exploded, and rays of light fell into Dylan's body.
[Message]: Congratulations on mastering the max-level spell—Rictusempra!
"Hmm..."
A spell appeared in Dylan's mind.
Soon, he had fully mastered the spell and understood its effect.
The person hit by the spell would laugh uncontrollably.
A spell with no real practical use, but it could briefly distract enemies during a fight.
"Forget it, it's just an elementary spell. I didn't expect to learn any useful spells."
Dylan shook his head.
At least it wasn't dark magic.
That was already pretty good.
Dismissing the system panel, Dylan continued reading the book in front of him.
When it was almost time for dinner.
After having a meal in the Great Hall, he prepared to go to the Owlery to see Luna.
At the same time.
Behind a low wall.
George and Fred Weasley crouched down, hiding behind it, their eyes fixed on the road ahead.
Both of them held several freshly made snowballs tightly in their hands.
"Hehe, we should have learned this spell a long time ago!"
"But we hit Professor Quirrell on the back of the head, and he looked like he was very uncomfortable."
"Never mind him, he won't cause us trouble. Hey, look, it's Dylan!"
"Shhh, get ready!"
Dylan walked along the path, completely unaware of the two.
Just as he passed the low wall.
George and Fred exchanged a look, suddenly stood up, swung their arms, and threw the snowballs at Dylan.
"Take this!"
Dylan was still thinking about the spell he had just learned this afternoon.
He was startled by the sudden movement.
He quickly dodged one snowball but was hit by the other.
"Hahahaha!"
"Got him!"
Seeing this, the Weasley twins burst into laughter and ran away.
They thought Dylan would chase them.
But Dylan just stood silently in place, his eyes narrowed.
"Oh, so it's a snowball fight, is it?"
He raised his wand.
"Nix Implosio!"
In an instant, the sky above the two brothers suddenly darkened.
"Huh? Did it get dark?"
The two looked up and saw large flakes of snow falling down like a waterfall.
The two were instantly buried in the snowdrift.
"You little rascals!"
Looking at the twins who could only show two waving arms and two shaking heads.
Their original laughter stopped abruptly, replaced by exclamations of surprise.
"Hmph."
Dylan snorted softly, walked straight past them, and headed towards the Owlery.
When he came back after feeding Luna and found them still trapped in the snow, he slowly walked over.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"We know, we know!"
"We know we were wrong!"
Dylan then raised his wand.
But he didn't rescue the two.
Instead...
"Rictusempra!"
"Wait, Dylan, what spell did you use on us?"
"George, I feel like laughing..."
"Me... hahahaha! Me too!"
"Ahahaha! Wait... hahahaha!"
...
Time passed little by little.
Until Christmas was approaching.
After Dylan had a private tutoring session with Professor Flitwick, he was suddenly pulled away by him and brought to the Great Hall.
Professor McGonagall was also at the entrance of the Great Hall.
After greeting her, Professor Flitwick explained to Dylan.
"Let me test how well you've learned your Charms. Go, do you see those Christmas trees?"
Dylan turned his head and saw many Christmas trees around the Great Hall, including inside.
Especially the Christmas trees in the Great Hall were very large, eleven in total.
Just as Dylan was wondering how Professor Flitwick would test his Charms.
Professor Flitwick said, "These Christmas trees are too bare. Conjure some decorations for them."
"..."
Dylan: ?
Professor McGonagall also smiled, "Thank you for your trouble."
As she spoke, she elegantly waved her wand.
The ceiling of the Great Hall instantly turned into a deep starry sky, twinkling with countless stars.
Several larger stars with long tails streaked across, accompanied by snowflake effects.
Professor Flitwick also tapped lightly with his wand, and green vines snaked up from the legs of the dining tables, quickly wrapping around the edges. Red holly leaves and white nuts grew on the vines.
The plates were also enchanted, with delicate golden snowflake patterns printed on the edges, and the knives and forks turned into silver reindeer antler shapes.
Dylan sighed slightly in his heart.
He raised his wand.
"Swish!"
Under the fluctuation of pink starlight particles.
Wherever it pointed, the moisture in the air quickly condensed, turning into crystal-clear hexagonal ice crystals, as thin as cicada wings, and then hung on the branches of the Christmas trees.
The next moment, the pink starlight particles turned again.
Strings of candy glittering with golden light fell on the lower branches of the Christmas trees.
Each of these candies was wrapped in shiny candy paper.
Then, Dylan summoned many glowing magical sprites.
These little sprites also held ribbons woven from magical silk threads.
Under his control, the sprites flew happily around the Christmas trees, wrapping the ribbons around the branches in circles.
"Oh! A very good Crystallizing Charm!" Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up.
"The Candy Conjuring Charm is also well done." Professor McGonagall smiled.
"Is that the Sprite Summoning Charm and the Ribbon Conjuring Charm? I just taught you that part!" Professor Flitwick was very satisfied.
Dylan smiled modestly, "Thank you, professor. It is indeed the Sprite Summoning Charm. There's nothing I can do, I always learn spells so quickly."
The Weasley twins, who were doing the hard labor, looked up at this little junior who had been in the same carriage as them on the train.
"Hey, Dylan can already use magic to decorate this place."
"We still have to carry things by hand!"
The two felt a bit bitter.
They were clearly newly enrolled little wizards, how could this junior, less than half a semester in, use magic more fluently than them?
Who exactly was the senior?
After Dylan turned the branches of the Christmas trees into exquisite magical music boxes, he summoned some colorful feathers and placed them on the Christmas trees.
At this time, he also noticed the Weasley twins coming around from the other side of the Christmas trees.
"Are you also here helping the professor?" Dylan greeted them with a friendly voice.
However, the two brothers smiled awkwardly, immediately recalling some unpleasant memories.
