It was impossible for Lord Voldemort to do nothing while they were stuck. He could complete the dangerous spell and become an evil god at any time. There was not much time left for Elwyn. He needed to open the secret treasure of the four founders as soon as possible.
Of course, the main reason why Elwyn could be so calm now was because of Dumbledore.
How should he put it? It was so reassuring!
Although Dumbledore refused to tell them anything, it was impossible for him to do nothing. His overall planning was far better than Lord Voldemort's. Even though so many things had changed, because of Dumbledore, Elwyn was not worried at all.
Since the headmaster did not ask him to leave the school, it meant that it was not time for him to leave yet …
Elwyn had many things to do at Hogwarts, such as helping Harry, Hermione, and Elaine improve their strength.
This was also very important. The most important thing now was to learn the practical spell, Phantom Manifestation.
This spell was very difficult and required a lot of practice to be effective.
After three lessons, none of the sixth-graders could learn it. However, a few of them split up.
The sense of frustration continued to grow. The students were quite resistant to Wilkie Tykros and his three D's, so they gave him many nicknames. The most polite ones were Dog Smelly Fart and Dung Head. As for the impolite ones …
To master Phantom Manifestation, the most difficult part was to split up, which was to enter the state of emptiness. This feeling was very difficult to find, but once it was found, everything would become much easier. The next step was to resolutely and calmly manifest.
In terms of finding the feeling of entering the state of emptiness, Elwyn could really help.
His method was to bring everyone to do a few more Phantom Manifestations, but because it was not possible inside Hogwarts, he could only help them at Hogsmeade.
Just like that, it was almost March. The weather was almost the same, except that it was wet and windy.
At the end of February, a notice was posted on the bulletin board in all the common rooms.
It said that the trip to Hogsmeade had been cancelled, and all the students were unhappy.
Unable to go to Hogsmeade, Elwyn's plan to help Hermione learn Phantom Manifestation was also ruined.
Compared to everyone else's dissatisfaction, Ron was even more resentful.
"By Jove, I've been looking forward to it!" he said incredulously.
"This isn't surprising, is it? After what happened to Katy, neither the Ministry of Magic nor the school will agree to let us go to Hogsmeade in the near future. " Hermione said, frowning at the notice on the board. "They're afraid that something will happen again. I think the trip to Hogsmeade will be canceled before Katie comes back."
"Katie's last letter said that she would be back soon. She has recovered and is going home to stay with her parents for a few days," Elwyn said.
"I know, but my birthday is coming!" Ron said dejectedly. "Now I can only look forward to the boring Phantom Manifestation!"
Elwyn, Harry, and Hermione looked at each other and tacitly did not respond to Ron's words.
In fact, one night five days ago, they had secretly discussed this topic behind Ron's back.
Harry told everyone that Ron took this birthday very seriously.
After all, it was his seventeenth birthday, which would be considered an adult in the magic world. It was a very important day.
Therefore, he hoped that everyone would think carefully about what present to give to Ron.
Elwyn had already prepared a birthday present, and Hermione had also said that there was no problem. Although Ron had quarreled with her some time ago, now that they had reconciled, she would still give him an adult birthday present. However, there was no need to think about Elaine. She had also participated in that discussion and clearly said that she would not give Ron anything.
This girl was too vengeful. She was still treating Ron coldly, and the hostility she showed was obvious.
After being bitten so many times, Elwyn always thought that no matter who he offended, he should never offend Elaine …
He was not afraid of Elaine biting him, but the habit of biting people could spread, and Elwyn could not refuse Hermione to bite him.
Since they were talking about adulthood at seventeen and birthdays, they had to mention Hermione's birthday, September 19th.
According to wizards' calculations, Hermione would have come of age last year!
Well, that meant that she could do a lot of things that could only be done after adulthood, without so many concerns and restrictions.
However, there was a problem, which also made Elwyn depressed. He was not an adult yet, he was only fifteen this year.
What was the use of just having Hermione as an adult? There were so many things that needed two people to do.
He was not an adult yet, so Hermione would not agree.
Thinking about it, Elwyn seemed to have never been an adult …
In the blink of an eye, it was March.
On the morning of March 1st, Ron's birthday, Elwyn got up early as usual. He did not send the gift last night, but discussed with Harry and Hermione that he would give it to Ron at breakfast as a surprise. When Elwyn arrived at the auditorium, Harry and Ron had not arrived yet.
At this moment, he did not think about what was happening in Harry and Ron's dormitory. This was really a birthday surprise …
That morning, Harry, Ron, and Neville were woken up by Simon and Dean who went to eat breakfast.
"Happy birthday, Ron!" Harry rubbed his eyes and sat up. "By the way, I have a gift for you."
He took out the paper package that he hid under the pillow the night before and threw it on Ron's bed. It fell in the middle of a small pile of parcels. Harry guessed that those parcels were sent by the house-elves at night.
"Gift? Oh, birthday! "Ron said in a daze." Same to you! "
Ron began to open Harry's gift. Harry got out of bed and opened the box to find the marauder's map. He always hid it in the box after using it.
Harry rummaged through half the box and found the map under a pile of rolled socks. There was also his bottle of Lucky Potion and Blessing Potion.
"Okay!" He took the map to the bed, tapped it gently, and whispered, "I solemnly swear that I will not do anything good."
His voice was very low, so that Neville, who walked over from the foot of the bed to congratulate Ron on his birthday, would not hear.
Harry carefully looked at the map. Where is Malfoy?
At this time, Ron shouted excitedly, "Great, Harry! Thank you for the Quidditch Goalkeeper's Gloves! "
"It's nothing," Harry said absent-mindedly while carefully looking for Malfoy in Slytherin's dormitory.
Ron was fully awake. He was busy opening the gifts, and from time to time he shouted happily.
"This year is a big harvest!" He announced, holding up a heavy gold watch. The edge of the watch had strange symbols, and the hands were moving little stars. "Look, what did mom and dad give me? Hey, I plan to become an adult next year … "
