For Robert's request, the senior sister naturally had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, she had been alone for so many years and had long felt extremely lonely. Now that there was someone to talk to, she felt really good.
The senior student explained to Robert: "In fact, each spell has a certain range, and... if you pay close attention and focus, you can even make the form of the spell change significantly."
"Only extremely powerful wizards can do this with their understanding of spells. However... wizards with ancient magic abilities are an exception."
"Although it is extremely powerful to release all of your ancient magical powers at once, it is not the best way to use them."
"The best way to use it is to use ancient magic to strengthen your own magic... I think you should have experienced the feeling of this kind of strengthening."
Robert nodded. He remembered that he had used all the ancient magic power before and added it to his own transformation.
Then the lively Nagini was turned into a little snake.
Even Dumbledore felt that this Transfiguration was extremely overbearing...
So, Robert told his senior about his experience.
"When I first awakened ancient magic, I used it the same way as you. However, as I got to know more about ancient magic, I realized that if I only added a little bit of ancient magic power to my magic, I could achieve much more powerful results than before! There's no need to waste it like this."
Robert suddenly realized, "In other words, your lightning chain-like spell attack method is actually achieved using the power of ancient magic?"
The senior student said happily: "You are really smart. Yes, that's right, and it won't cost you too much ancient magic power. Look at me, I can only use a little ancient magic power... but it can still make the form of the killing curse change fundamentally!"
"The most important thing is that if you just use ancient magic to strengthen your own magic, no one will be able to detect it. This does not count as violating Professor Dumbledore's instructions to you."
It had to be said that although the senior sister was frozen at a very young age, due to her rich combat experience, she could teach Robert much more than he could imagine.
So, for the next half month, Robert studied with Tom during the day and practiced Parseltongue with Nagini.
At night, he would go into his dreams and learn nightmare magic and ancient magic from his senior schoolmate.
With the guidance of his senior and Robert's own foundation in ancient magic, his nightmare magic improved rapidly!
After half a month, he was able to invade the dreams of people with lower magic power than himself.
If he used the power of ancient magic, his nightmare magic could even begin to affect others in reality.
By the way, his ancient magic also improved.
The senior student told him that he must go to places that might be hotspots of ancient magic, because just absorbing it once, even on the smallest scale, would yield better results than practicing for a whole year.
This also made Robert full of expectations for these places.
If he hadn't gone to bed early to study with his senior, and if the notebook wasn't hidden in the restricted section of Hogwarts, he would have wanted to run to the Forbidden Forest every night to look for it!
In the blink of an eye, it was already the morning of September 1st.
That day, Robert and Tom both got up very early.
As written in the admission letter, Robert and Tom were supposed to go to Hogwarts today.
When they got up, their luggage had already been packed by Toby and placed in the corner of the room.
"Master Robert is going to school, Toby... Toby won't be able to follow Master Robert. However, Toby will follow Master Robert's orders and stay in the Hog's Head for the time being."
Toby seemed very frustrated that he could not follow Robert to Hogwarts.
In particular, when he learned that there were many other house-elves in Hogwarts who could help him take care of his master, he had an indescribable feeling.
"It's okay. Hogsmeade is just a few steps away from Hogwarts. I will come to see you often." Robert said while holding his toiletries.
Tom snorted and said, "I heard that only third-year students can come to Hogsmeade Village on weekends. Otherwise, it would be a violation of school rules..."
"What? Did I hear you right? Tom! You actually decided to abide by the school rules?" Robert said in shock.
"What do you mean? What's so strange about this? Do you think I'm a bad student who breaks school rules at will?" Tom frowned.
"Ah, nothing, I'm just surprised by your change." Robert said with emotion: "If Professor Dumbledore saw you like this now, he would definitely be very pleased!"
"Bah! What you said makes me sick! Who wants to make that old guy happy!" Tom said with disgust.
"Wow, Toby is so touched. Master Robert would actually break the school rules for Toby!" Toby was so excited.
Tom looked on speechlessly.
He simply could not understand the thought processes of creatures like house-elves.
However, even Tom had to admit that it was indeed much more comfortable to have a house-elf waiting on him, especially since Toby was very respectful to him and also helped him pack his luggage.
"Boom boom boom!"
There was a knock on the door.
Tom said, "Come in!"
Aberforth pushed the door open with a smile on his face.
"Young gentlemen, we must be at King's Cross Station before half past ten and take the Hogwarts Express."
Robert and Tom looked at each other.
"Hogwarts is less than three miles away from us... but we have to travel thousands of miles to take a train?" Tom was confused.
"Yes," Aberforth said matter-of-factly.
"And... the terminus of the Hogwarts Express seems to be in Hogsmeade village?" Robert added.
"That's right!"
"But we still have to waste six or seven hours to catch a train?"
Tom couldn't understand this at all. It was such a waste of time! Wouldn't it be better for him to use this time to study?
"This is the tradition of Hogwarts, gentlemen." Aberforth smiled. "Even if you are next to Hogwarts now, I still recommend you take the train, because you can get familiar with your future classmates on the Hogwarts Express."
"After all, you will all be studying in the same school for the next seven years... Aren't you curious about your classmates? Maybe you can make a few more friends. You know, in many cases, connections are very important."
Tom turned his head away in disgust, "I came to Hogwarts to study, not to socialize."
"Okay, let's go. I heard that those pure-blood families have some incredible background." Robert's eyes flashed.
"Background? Do you mean unique magical knowledge?" Tom was indeed interested.
"Of course. Think about it, we have been here for so long. How much have we learned from Mr. Aberforth?"
"That makes sense! Then let's go." Tom said with a firm look.
"It's only eight o'clock, Tom..."
When they arrived at King's Cross Station, Robert's arrogance caught the attention of the Black family.
Upon hearing their insults, Robert scoffed, "My last name is Robert. Of course, according to your custom, you can call me Robert James. Do you want to go to London to find out how long our Robert family has been passed down? Have you heard of James?"
His confidence and demeanor left the Black family momentarily speechless.
