As Ryan was watching a group of ghosts rushing to eat at the table regardless of their status, reliving his past memories, Hermione came over.

She held the notebook and said, "I've had a great harvest today. I came to know about a lot of secrets that I never knew before. For example, when Earl boasted of his bravery just now, he was exposed by a ghost next to him. The other ghost was actually chasing the remnants with him and Earl brave accidentally slipped while running and his head hit the ground, but there was a crossbow arrow on the ground, so he died. Sure enough, many historical events shaming or praising someone can't be blindly trusted."

To this Ryan inwardly thought about the history books of his past life, how foreigners are white devils always looking for ways to steal and create chaos, about the Tiananmen square student terrorist who were influenced and hired by foreign forces to destabilize the country, how Falun gong practitioners were a part of the international terrorist organisation, and the list goes on and on. Hopefully, things will be better in this world, Just as Hermione was happily talking about what she had seen today, a gru gru sound came from her stomach. Hearing the sound, Hermione's face immediately turned red.

Ryan also felt a little hungry at this time, so he went to Nick to say his goodbye.

Nick had finished drinking at this time, standing on the podium happily watching the eating ghosts around the table. Seeing Ryan pulling Hermione over, he did a slight Noble bow that you see in movies, but solemnly and said:

"Thank you for your help, I think today is the happiest day after my death."

"No need to thank me, friends help each other. We are going upstairs to eat now, so, farewell and enjoy the party." Ryan said to Nick.

"Ah, I have been too busy these two days. I forgot to prepare food for the two of you. I'm so sorry. You hurry up and eat. I think you can still have desserts if you get upstairs now. I've prepared something special for you, the gift will be on your bedside tomorrow morning."

Nick bowed and sent Ryan and Hermione out of the underground classroom.

Ryan and Hermione hurriedly walked through the corridor and climbed the stairs. When they rushed into the Great hall panting and sat in their seats, the main course had already been withdrawn and the dessert had just been served.

"It's a shame that you missed the Halloween special apple pie," Ron said vaguely while seeing Ryan and Hermione sitting down while eating caramelized apples.

"But I still think that attending the ghost party tonight was a good thing. I have gained a lot of knowledge that I can't find in books." Hermione picked up a pumpkin cake and said.

"Well, what's the special feature of the ghost party?" Harry asked curiously.

"I think the performance of the headless ghosts was very interesting to throw their heads at each other right away, at least I have never seen it before," Ryan said while eating a piece of cake.

"And to talk about the atmosphere, blue candles, cold temperatures and a room full of ghosts can better reflect the Halloween characteristics of the magical world. The only problem is that there was no food suitable for humans at all." Ryan concluded.

After filling his stomach with dessert, Ryan returned to the dormitory with everyone else.

The next morning Ryan woke up as usual and found that by the bed there was a thick parchment letter. After opening the envelope and looking at it, Ryan found out that Nick had sent it to his room with the house-elves help at night.

At the beginning of the letter, Nick said that he used the bottle of Scorching Whiskey in his possession to ask Baron to write this letter with Peeves because only Peeves can write the letter among the ghosts.

As for not letting the house-elves write it may be because he thinks that the content in this letter is not suitable for the headmaster to know.

Ryan opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, and found that Nick had given him a lot of gifts this time.

The letter contains the location of several Hogwarts secret passages. It also tells Ryan that there are things that Hogwarts students have lost for hundreds of years in the room of requirement and how to find them.

In the last letter, Nick is told by a ghost, that nearly two hundred years ago, a group of people had seen a few people sneakily carrying heavy boxes, towards a hiding place to the south of England near the coast, after that no one has been seen taking out the boxes. Deducting by the size and weight of the box, there is probably a treasure inside.

It seems that this time, the Christmas holiday can be turned into a treasure hunting holiday, Ryan thought in his heart. Nick's gift is really nice, and I hope that no one has taken away my precious stuff. In short, Ryan was rewarded heavily for the little service he did.

Because he was in a good mood, Ryan watched the play by Harry Potter and Gilderoy Lockhart with great interest in today's Lockhart's class: "Lockhart vs. Werewolves"

Seriously, if Gilderoy was not a wizard, he would have made a great career in Hollywood. Ryan saw Gilderoy doing and teaching dumb stuff, adult perspective wise, Lockhart is pretentious and annoying, but because of his good mood, Ryan is seeing it as a Korean drama.

After all, Gilderoy was just talking about the real heroes through his words, the ones he's replaced by himself through a kind of identity/intellectual property theft, damn I want to talk about the nation that is expert in doing this, but that'll just be bickering. Gilderoy can restore the scene through dry language and show a sense of reality. I have to say that Gilderoy is a genius in this regard.

It's a pity that his skills as a teacher are obviously not enough, at least Ryan feels that he can't learn anything in such a class, Lockhart should do an art or sales class instead.

So Ryan took advantage of Lockhart's wholehearted involvement in the performance, took out a lot of parchment and began to deduce the magic inheritance of the Viking wizard.

Knowing how to perform magic is not enough to master it. After deducing the basic runes of spells, users can try to change these spells.

For example, ordinary wizards can at most turn a stone into a statue by using Transfiguration or even further convert things between several items.

But if it is replaced by a master of transfiguration like Dumbledore, he can use simple transfiguration to perform extremely complex magic.

For example, in the original book, Dumbledore used the Ministry of Magic's pool to control Voldemort's dark magic with pool water, which is actually an extension of the simplest form of transfiguration.

Naturally, someone can't do this at Ryan's level. He simply broke down the Viking spell in his hand step by step according to the inheritance in his memory, and then confirmed the composition of each part of the spell and the effect of each part in the spell.

Finally, minor changes are being made.

This work is troublesome. It is necessary to restore all the elements of a spell, actions, and other elements to the most original magic text, and then analyzed according to the nature and content of each magic text.

The magic that Ryan is dealing with now is Ancient Viking's Brightening Curse. This spell is a little more complicated than the current Light-creation spell Lumos, but unlike Lumos, it can let the light spot leave the wand and be attached to certain objects.

The reason for choosing this mantra as the beginning of learning is because it is simple and safe enough. Even if it fails, the worse thing is to make it flash like a camera flash or not light up at all.

But if it was some complicated spell, it will be very dangerous if he fails. Take the example of Luna's mother, who died because of this.

At the climax of Gilderoy's act, Ryan finally imitated the inheritance in his memory and understood a variant usage of this spell: paying three times the magic power to double the shining time of the spell.

Due to his excitement, Ryan accidentally chanted the spell, and everyone in the classroom saw a silver-white ball of light dangling towards the stage.

"This is terrible. Ahh... What a rookie mistake." Ryan covered his face with his hand.
