A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 644: A fulfilling holiday

Twenty or so students came to the courtyard in a long line. The temperature outside was freezing cold, but there was no wind. The students exhaled white air from their mouths and looked up at the bright and bright moon in the sky.

"Full moon," muttered Ron.

Needless to say, Harry knew he was thinking of Lupin, and he couldn't help thinking about it. At this time, Lupine should have taken the wolfsbane potion and hid himself in a secret place.

Harry knew he didn't want anyone to see his transformation. .

"...From the beginning of the full moon to the end of the next full moon, if you fail halfway, you have to start again. I don't want you to make fun of your own health." Professor McGonagall said loudly, pausing for a moment majesticly, "Everyone come up Receive the Mandrake blade."

The students stepped forward one by one, and then retreated to the side to whisper excitedly. There was nothing in front of Harry, he stepped forward, Professor McGonagall nodded to him, and handed him a green leaf, Harry took it and watched it shimmer faintly in the moonlight.

Just as Harry was about to leave, he suddenly felt someone poke him. He raised his head. Professor Haipu was holding Varen with both hands, and Varen held a stack of parchment in his arms. "Precautions and recipes." Felix reminded him.

Harry took the parchment from Warren, stepped aside, and read the words on it by the light of his wand.

He already knew most of the content, but a few were marked in red ink alone, and he read the third one: In the next month, their dining place will be changed to classroom 11 on the first floor of the castle. From time to time, special house elves prepare food for them.

Harry's heart sank.

Ernie MacMillan once made a nasty joke about his uncle trying to learn Animagus Transfiguration by sticking a funnel in every meal to avoid swallowing Mandrake leaves. Take liquid food down the throat. Ernie described it vividly, and finally a group of people couldn't bear to surround him, and he admitted that the story was made up. His uncle really wanted to learn Animagus, but he gave up after only insisting on it for a week.

"Take a look after you get it. When the moon is full, the edge of the mandrake leaves will emit white light, similar to the sapweed... Well, if there is no problem, put it in the mouth." Professor McGonagall ordered.

Harry checked again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, he stuffed the mandrake blade into his mouth. After enjoying the Christmas dinner, he felt a bit of bitterness in his mouth. He saw Draco on the opposite side frowning Look away.

Sirius had told him about the Malfoy family the night before. To put it simply, it is good and bad, because the mid-term betrayal allowed him to avoid being liquidated like his "humble friends", and he also attracted a group of remaining pure-blood families, and still retained his influence; but it also caused trouble. Come grudges from some one-time Death Eater allies like Crabbe and the Goyles.

Sirius also gave an example from a few weeks ago.

Lucius Malfoy, who has been keeping a low profile after the war, suddenly stood up and accepted an interview with the "Daily Prophet", talking about the dangers and contributions he made while undercover

——“A newspaper said that Potter, Weasley, and Granger used the Ring of Ouroboros to call for help that night in the cemetery...It’s not entirely accurate, because I also risked my life to inform the sea Mr. Pu, it's just that he cannot disclose his achievements to the outside world because of the heavy responsibility on his shoulders..."

"The Ministry of Magic has been counting meritorious service recently," Sirius explained. "He wants to run an Order of Merlin for the Malfoy family, but he is wasting his time. What he has done is only enough to avoid prison." He said vaguely: "Snape may win a big prize. Now we all know how he got the information..."

After hearing these words, Harry suddenly realized, and instantly understood why the former students of Professor Slughorn—Elder Walpple who wrote "Blood Brothers: I Live Among Vampires"—had been at the dinner party all the time. He was pestering Snape on the Internet, and he obviously wanted to write a book based on Snape's experience, but Snape refused with a cold face.

In the dormitory, Harry looked at Ron and Neville shrewdly.

"Then what should I do?" he exclaimed dissatisfied.

"At least you don't snore." Ron said irritably, he closed his eyes with a generous expression, "Hurry up, I finally made up my mind."

Harry looked at him, then at Neville, who was too nervous to speak.

"Okay."

The flashes of the petrification spell and the stun spell alternated. Ron and Neville fell to the ground stiffly. Harry used the Levitation Charm to move them to the bed, covered them with quilts, and got into the warm and comfortable quilt himself. The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and Harry felt chills in his heart.

He hesitated for a long time whether to cast a stun spell on himself, after all, not everyone has the courage to face two stiff bodies and still fall asleep peacefully,

He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, finally took out a roll of magic tape from under Ron's bed, and sealed his mouth.

The whole time Harry forced himself not to look at Ron's stiff face in the moonlight. He climbed back to bed, stared at the ceiling and counted the numbers, I don't know how long it had passed - but it must have been in the middle of the night when sleepiness struck, and he fell into a drowsy sleep.

When he woke up, he used his tongue to feel that the mandrake leaves were still there, but the bitter taste in his mouth was stronger, as if seeping into the gap between his teeth, but his mood was generally happy, and he couldn't wait to wake up Ron and Neville, share your method with them.

"That's great, I'm a little more confident." Ron said with a stiff neck, "But there is a problem, I seem to have a stiff neck"

For the next few days, Felix paid little attention to these students.

He himself is also very busy—Tom Riddle in classroom 117 has graduated for two years, but he still can't master the Patronus Charm,

However, Riddle recently got inspiration from Peeves. He secretly collected the emotions of the students in the school and obtained a plausible patron saint.

Felix is ​​happy to see the success, which means that Riddle can't leave the school even more,

Felix also found the information from Snape about how he and Damocles Belby improved Wolfsbane potion, in order to let him know enough about werewolves, and Snape generously gave it to him He got some werewolf blood and hair.

"You will find that some scholars' point of view: werewolves are just beasts in human skin', which is not too much, their blood is completely tainted."

Felix shrugged, "I'll scare you when you say it. Compared with me, werewolves are normal."

Of course Snape didn't believe it, he could tell from his hypocritical proposal to study', Felix scoffed at this, and mentally categorized his former headmaster as a 'foolish wizard...

"Practice your acceptance speech more! Lupine said that the promotion of magic TV is not satisfactory. Most wizarding families still rely on magic radio to listen to the broadcast of the award ceremony. They will put unnecessary pauses in your speech. Treat it as a stutter."

"Think about it, because of this problem, the parents of the students questioned the teaching level, how uneconomical it would be"

Felix's kindness failed to bring good rewards—instead, he was rejected for several days. The former Potions professor and current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor refused to talk to him. With a cold face, when Felix asked other professors to comment, only Dumbledore expressed sympathy.

"Severus is really reticent, for the sake of Hogwarts' image——" When he said this, Professor McGonagall and Grindelwald stared at him expressionlessly. "One by one at least persuade him to change his clothes, change his hairstyle or something."

Felix doesn't know how Dumbledore did it, but anyway, on the day of the award ceremony, although Snape was still dressed in black, it was finally not the same set of wizard robes that have remained unchanged for thousands of years, but a different set of wizard robes. He put on a suit and added a high-necked white shirt inside.

Snape was awarded the Order of Merlin, First Class. "For him to go undercover for the second time, and bring a steady stream of intelligence advantages to the righteous side." Ms. Burns announced loudly. Followed by Harry, also a first-class medal, the reason for his award is directly related to the downfall of Voldemort, although no one knows the details, but with the testimony of Dumbledore and Felix Heap, no one ask a question.

Of course, Ron and Hermione didn't win the award, and they still have the Order of Merlin Second Class Medal for Courage,

"It's all because the war ended so quickly," Ron murmured.

"Oh, shut up you!" Hermione snapped.

With a mandrake blade stuck in his mouth, Harry's testimonials are extra refined, and because of the special recipes these days lead to a trance,

When he came down, Ron and Hermione heard someone next to him questioning in a low voice: "This kid doesn't seem to be very clever, does he still have the influence of the Cruciatus Curse?"

His words made a group of wizards who didn't know the truth twitch their noses emotionally.

That night, the Ministry of Magic held a grand dinner, and Harry left early depressed, and went back to eat his tasteless dinner, which consisted of small pieces of cheese jelly and vegetable meatballs made with special techniques, which are said to be nutritious It is rich, and it will give people a strong sense of fullness after swallowing it.

The most important thing is that the entire dining process is compressed to less than one minute, which fully reduces the possibility of various accidents.

This caused the students to lose a lot of fun.

And because of the sharp lack of entertainment methods——Harry was surprised to find that he had finished all his homework in less than a week, and had nothing to do in the remaining days. It seemed to remember them at last, to bring them together.

"How many people are still not left behind?" Felix asked.

Wow, rattle, raised a bunch of arms, Harry turned his head to look around, and found that there were quite a few of them. "Fifteen people, not bad." Felix nodded and said: "It seems that the previous two weeks of practice really worked. I'll let you come here today to summarize, um... Give full play to the collective wisdom."

The students, including those who failed, all admired Professor Haipu.

Felix raised the parchment in his hand, "Do you still remember the form that you were asked to fill out in the duel class from the second grade? Of course, the duel class is only available in the second to fourth grade now, which coincides with The first-year flight class and the fifth-year O.W.L exam are staggered, and combined with the content of the spell assessment..."

"It records everyone's learning speed, preference, learning style, etc., and now four years have passed, and the accumulated data is piled up in a cabinet on one wall."

"There is no doubt that it is an undiscovered treasure trove."

Felix said solemnly.

"You should have experienced group discussions. We use a similar method to talk about the problems you find difficult and think about solutions together."

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed a good idea. After a while, a student finally took the initiative to stand up and mentioned that he was depressed and groggy all day long.

Students kept nodding around, and they also had the same symptoms.

"Yeah, you can't do anything that makes you happy, you can't eat well, you can't sleep well, and you can't even talk out loud." dream."

The other students set their sights on Felix.

"Don't look at me, I said, let you discuss it yourself." He said with a straight face.

"How about potions? Like euphoria?" Ron suggested.

"Oh, no," Ernie said disappointedly, "I asked Professor McGonagall, and she said that the potion may contaminate the leaves of the Mandrake."

Everyone began to think divergently, and the answers they gave gradually became outrageous, but Felix didn't intend to stop them. Instead, they asked Hermione to record them all on the sidelines. In the end, it turned out that Neville came up with a solution.

"I-uh, I tried a method," Neville whispered, his teeth clenched tightly, for fear that the mandrake blade would fall off when he spoke,

"Use the daydream spell."

"Daydream Charm? What's that?" a student asked.

"Hey! I know one" exclaimed Ron excitedly.

"The Daydream Charm can construct a real dream, and I only thought of it yesterday. In short, I talked for a long time in it, and it was much better when I came out." Neville introduced his experience.

"Talk to yourself? What are you talking about?

"Uh...recite the herbal medicine textbook aloud." Neville said reluctantly, and everyone laughed, but when Professor Hemp encouraged him to try it on other people, everyone immediately changed their minds .

Felix also experienced it for himself.

After Neville chanted the spell, he found himself on top of a peak in the mountains around Hogwarts Castle, surrounded by emptiness and silence. From his professional point of view, there were still many flaws in this dream, but At least once he tried to yell a few noises, the sound can be heard very far, and the echo effect is also quite good, it can indeed play a very good catharsis effect~IndoMTL.com~The discussion continues. Harry also raised his own question. He hoped that it would be safer to speak loudly. You must know that he was the captain of the team. Whether he was explaining tactics or correcting a player who made a flying error, he would inevitably shout at the top of his voice.

But to his surprise, the problem in his mind received feedback almost immediately.

"Use the Amplifying Charm one by one," said Hermione, who was recording aside.

"Cover your mouth with a scarf!" said Susan Burns.

"Put them both together," suggested Ron.

Harry's eyes lit up. The eyes of other students also brightened. This method seems to be better, and they are going to go back and try.

Of course, the discussion process was not all smooth sailing. On the issue of "how to curb the bitterness of mandrakes", because there are too many methods, which led to the question of food taste preference, a group of students quarreled open hand.

Unfortunately, one of them sprayed out the mandrake leaves while shouting, everyone was stunned, the audience was silent, even the student himself stared at the leaves on the ground in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it own stupidity.

"Ahem Perkin just made a wrong demonstration for us." Felix said uncomfortably: "This reminds us to keep calm in the next time...

Personally, I recommend wearing an amulet that calms the nerves. Just let it do the bare minimum. "He added another sentence.
