Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 98 Focus Group Meeting Room

"The content of the dream is—"

Hardy quickly wrote on the parchment, "Traveling on the London Underground with Muggles, and then the flames in the next compartment killed everyone."

Putting down the eagle brush in his hand, Hardy said: "Very well, Mr. Longbottom, if you still dream of something tonight, please come to me as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Okay, Professor."

With his heavy backpack on his back, Neville left the room.

After getting along for this period of time, Hardy discovered one of the advantages of the other party, that is, he never asked why.

If it were Harry and the others, I'm afraid they would have asked the bottom line long ago, wishing to make everything clear.

Sometimes this is not a good thing, and it will cause a lot of trouble for others.

"Dreams related to the Muggle world..."

Hardy looked down in thought.

According to the current situation, it is impossible to directly judge that Neville's dream is related to Draco and Weasley's drowsiness symptoms.

It may just be a coincidence and coincidence.

After all, the results of Madam Pomfrey's and Professor Sprout's reexamination haven't come out yet.

Hardy didn't know whether Neville Longbottom also had symptoms of lethargy.

However, if the other party still dreams of the same scene repeatedly tonight, then things may usher in a major breakthrough.

In the afternoon, after Hardy finished his second-year alchemy class, Hermione quickly caught up, "Professor, I have a question I want to ask, do you have time?"

"Of course." Hardy tidied up the materials on the podium, smiled and raised his head.

Hermione took out a piece of parchment, on which a complex set of links was being drawn, "That's it, I'm not sure if they are in the correct order."

"It's to achieve the effect of strengthening the material." Hermione added.

In the theory of alchemy, the same ring, with the help of different permutations and combinations, often produces completely different effects.

Hardy took the things handed by the other party, and explained, "If it is to achieve material enhancement, the order of the fifth and eighth chains above needs to be adjusted."

"In addition, if the order of the entire set of chain rings is reversed, the effect will be to change the color of the substance, um, it should be brown."

He looked at Hermione with some surprise, "This question shouldn't be difficult for you, although for second graders, it's beyond the curriculum."

Hermione's ears were slightly red, but she quickly raised her head, "Ah, yes, that's right, I should have found out earlier."

She patted her forehead pretendingly, "Actually, I saw this in a book in the library, and it mentioned that this set of chains was widely used in Azkaban?"

"Yes, in order to ensure that the vicious criminals in Azkaban will not escape, this is engraved on every iron fence in the prison."

Pretending to be surprised, Hermione opened her mouth wide, and said, "My God, Azkaban is such a scary place."

She paused, glanced at Hardy secretly, and found that the other party was modifying the arrangement of chain rings on the paper.

"Professor, what kind of people will be imprisoned in Azkaban? To be honest, we are all curious about this."

She whispered, "We heard from Professor McGonagall that you stayed in Azkaban for two years? In order to learn about alchemy."

Hardy raised his head, "Yes, I did stay in that place. At that time, two old wizards who were proficient in alchemy were imprisoned for manslaughter."

"They had a serious accident during the alchemy creation process, and several visiting wizard assistants lost their lives."

"Oh, that's pathetic, I mean, they mustn't have meant it, right?" Hermione blinked.

Nodding his head, Hardy said, "Yes, they are not bad people, but if they do something wrong, they will be punished."

"As for what you just asked, what kind of people will be imprisoned in Azkaban, there are too many."

Hardy commented: "Killing Muggles, secretly researching black magic, attacking Ministry of Magic officials, reselling dangerous magic items from other countries, planning illegal assembly activities..."

Hermione nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then asked calmly, "So—"

"If someone casts the Oblivion Curse on someone else, will they be thrown into Azkaban?"

Soon, she added: "Professor Flitwick recently mentioned this curse to us. He warned us that the Oblivion Curse may seem common, but it is actually very dangerous, but some people don't take it seriously."

Hardy noticed Hermione's small thoughts, and said secretly: "So, you walked around for so long just to ask me this question?"

He stared at each other curiously, thinking to himself: "What trouble do these Gryffindor cubs want to cause recently?"

"Teach...Professor..." Hermione felt uneasy when Hardy stared at her.

She regretted it a little, and should have let Ron do it.

No, Ron will definitely leak it in front of Professor Ollivander, and it has to be Harry.

The three of them wondered what punishment they would receive if they found conclusive proof that Lockhart had stolen other people's stories and cast the Oblivion Charm on them.

"Looking at the scoring situation." Hardy said slowly, "If you only cast the Forgetting Curse on someone once, without causing serious consequences..."

"Generally, the Auror Office will conduct criticism and education, and consider whether to impose a fine of more than [-] Galleons and less than [-] Galleons."

"But if the Forgetting Curse is used on many people, even if there are no serious consequences, they will still be imprisoned in Azkaban."

Hearing the answer from Hardy's mouth, Hermione immediately showed an expression of "I see." "Thank you, Professor."

Seeing Hermione leave as fast as flying, Hardy hesitated to speak, then shook his head helplessly.

For the time being, he is not in the mood to care about the three little ones.

The opponent is Gryffindor, and it is their natural ability to cause trouble, which cannot be avoided no matter what measures are taken.

Hardy has already seen it.

He is not the dean of Gryffindor College, these matters, let Professor McGonagall have a headache first.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom, Hardy ran into Filch, who was carrying a lot of tools and was about to go to the fifth floor of Hogwarts Castle.

Just this morning, Professor McGonagall approved a classroom near the library to be used exclusively as a meeting room for the narcolepsy resolution group.

And officially named it "special group meeting room".

Filch has finished remodeling the meeting room and is preparing to nail the completed door plate.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Ollivander." Filch showed an ugly smile, "Honestly, I'm really looking forward to the weekend."

He shook the tools in the tin bucket, "Only Principal Dumbledore and you know that my job is not easy."

Hardy nodded at the other party in a friendly manner, and chatted, and came to the conference room of the focus group together.

Push open the two huge oak doors, and you will see a huge oval conference table.

Comfortable red velvet single chairs are neatly placed beside the table, enough to accommodate 12 people for a meeting at the same time.

At the end of the room, five huge file cabinets are closely arranged, and scattered materials have been placed inside, all related to the secret room and the basilisk.

However, all of them have been cast with a special spell, so they will not be opened easily.

After Filch finished remodeling this place, other spells would be applied to the entire room.

Without the "password", the two oak gates would be stronger than the walls.
