It's a sprinting exercise. Where you have to run at full speed and turn around quickly, the distance getting further and further apart, it's good for cardio and agility.
To my surprise, most of the training was nonmagical; I was running more and doing more push-ups and suicides. Weight training, agility training. Each morning for hours, then I would drink a potion that Mike had prepared that would ease and heal my muscles, but it didn't take care of the fatigue. Then it was onto spell training in my tired state: jinxes hex, stunners and disarming charms, shielding and transfiguring tricks; all this had effects on my magic and muscles.

I answered this question before. the Basilisk had to die or be removed from the equation. can you imagine the battle of hogwarts with the Basilisk still around.
I probably shouldn't have punched him, but I was so frustrated with not being able to do anything about the basilisk. I took it out on Draco. I'm still surprised at how annoying he is.

well there is the theroy that the Basilisk couldn't kill anybody actually and riddle killed myrtle with the killing curse after she was petrified, because he was worried she saw him. which kind of makes sense, but its only a theroy and there's no proof in that.
I shrugged. 'It shows the incompetence of the wizards back then to believe that the chamber of secrets was opened by the half-giant Hagrid.' I thought, 'Maybe they didn't believe that chamber was open and just was a cover, but Aragog was an acromantula; how the hell does an acromantual petrify people?'

An idea I had as well, but two factors. The sword of Gryffindor being imbued with the basilisk's powers makes it powerful enough to kill Horcrux, and if the basilisk doesn't die, then it's there at the Battle of Hogwarts.

We don't know much about the attacks that happened in Riddles's time at Hogwarts, apart from Myrtle dying and him framing Hagrid. But they say Attacks plural when Tom is talking to headmaster Dippet, so it is safe to assume that there were petrifications in Riddle's year.

croakcoa is what chocolate frogs are 70% made from. fun fact.
Wizard chocolates were really good, and they had no sugar in them. I had no idea what croakoa was, but it was delicious.

read the authors note at end of chapter
"Hey, kid, can you play?" A man asked me. I looked at him and nodded. "Here's a Galleon; play us something." I looked at it, then him; he was in his mid-twenties, and it looked like he was on a date. I unclasped my guitar case and pulled out my guitar. I guess I was a busker now. A song came to my mind when I thought that. I pulled out my wand and cast <lumos saltare>. A little orb of light leapt from my wand and hovered around me; putting my wand back, the orb stayed. This was a spell Professor Flitwick taught me at the request of Professor Snape because he could see how I struggled while holding my wand and playing music. The dancing light spell Professor Flitwick had called it, mine really danced, however.

hahaha.
This started as a joke, but Lockhart didn't know that, and now I think he missed his calling.

Yes it's going to have romance. But he's 12 at the moment, I wrote this as he was being cheeky rather than flirty, just trying to cheer up a friend.
I winked at Luna with a charming smile.

wish I knew
Next morning henely returned at breakfast with the copies and a bill I put a little pouch on henley with the money and sent him off again. We went and asked a student from the other houses to put a copy on their common room noticeboard. There was a bit of buzz about it. But instead today we had herbology, from what Neville said we would be dealing with mandrakes. This actually piqued my interest because, again, it was something that used sound as a weapon. Replanting mandrakes, wasn't easy, you had to pull really hard then there's screamed and flopped like a fish, fighting you trying to put them in the bigger pot.

Thanks for the comment and good question. The answer is I don't know at this point. As a rule of thumb, I'm using that anything after Y2K he can safely rip off; now, if Eddie's story ends at the end of Harry Potter, than not really. But I don't know if that's where I want it to finish. But he does feel guilty about stealing art.

Yes and no. Yes muggles knew about wizards and magic, but rarely knew who was a wizard or where they lived or their communities. Hogwarts was built to be unplottable and appear as ruins in muggle's eyes.witch hunts had been happening since 18th century bc. while no law stopped a wizard from revealing themselves or interacting with themselves, it did usually end in a witch hunt.
"Salazar used to say that if we taught magic to the muggle-borns, the secret would get out. And plus, they couldn't read or write, so he found it a frustrating waste of time," Johan said.

Gordon Smith Guitars is a real company of British guitar manufacturers. Their signature model is called the GS.
I had one week before school, so I read my homework and went and picked up my guitar. It was love at first sight. A black GS with a slim body, both side cutaways, and an emerald green pickguard. I also bought an amp so I could jam out. Mr and Mrs Malhook were unhappy when I did that at 9 o'clock at night, whoops.

a bit, though it was also the idea of having a bard in the wizarding world.

partly because he's an addict. partly because he's an 11 year old.
"And say what?" I asked, "Hi, I'm your grandson, that your daughter dumped in a muggle hospital a few days after he was born. Oh, by the way, I'm in England. Oh, if you don't know, they're dead too." I snapped. I took a few deep breaths. "Sorry, I didn't mean to snap. I don't know anything, and right now, I'd rather focus on Hogwarts and music."

thanks for the comment, that's pretty close to what I was picturing but with a bit longer hair.

well that's an assumption that i have everything planned out. I don't know if there will be a battle of hogwarts neither does the mc, but why would he risk it.
