Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 85 Unexpected Invitation

Next, Snape changed several offensive spells, and William had to defuse them flexibly—if sometimes it was impossible to do so, he would switch attacks for attacks. This method was also supported by Snape recognition.

"Five points for Ravenclaw."

After he asked William to sit back, he made an awkward announcement.

"Did he take the wrong medicine today? Or was he bitten by Lu Wei, which could trigger some weird buff of reformation? But Lu Wei didn't bite his head."

William felt a little weird.

Although throughout the whole process, Snape was not lacking in cynicism towards him, but when commenting and explaining, he rarely showed a surprising degree of patience (by his own distorted standards).

He is even willing to take questions from students.

Snape seemed to really want to teach the subject well.

After class, Snape left homework and asked them to write an essay on how to deal with the spell he had used in today's lesson.

"You better get serious about it because I might pick one of you in the next class, like Buffalo today."

Snape's malicious smile made all the students in the classroom shudder except William - they were all dumbfounded today.

"He knows the Dark Arts well, doesn't he?"

After confirming that Snape had left the classroom, Jimmy said in a low voice, "I dare say that Snape must have taken out all the things in the bottom of the box today, in order to show Professor Dumbledore what he is capable of."

"But wouldn't this be a little...dangerous?

I mean, in fourth grade we should be learning how to deal with dangerous creatures or defuse curses, not duel dark wizards. "

Penello said with some concern.

William took a different view:
"But this kind of content is useful, isn't it? If we have to face an attack suddenly, learning to deal with spells will definitely help a lot."

He guessed that Snape wasn't lecturing this way because he liked it, but because some old bee whose office was on the eighth floor wanted him to do it.

"Even I have this kind of speculation. Dumbledore may have thought more carefully—maybe, he may have already had a rough idea of ​​the identity of that student."

William thought that when Snape attacked him today, the power of the spells used was precisely controlled to a certain level, it was hardly a coincidence.

Although the practice in Defense Against the Dark Arts class used him as a target, Snape should have prepared it for all the students in the castle-he wanted to prevent the worst from happening, and the students of Hogwarts The level of wizard duels is really polarized.

The students who had packed their things left the classroom one after another and went to the auditorium. The house elves had already prepared a sumptuous lunch.

"Do you feel that the menu at Hogwarts seems to have become a little richer recently-I'm certainly not saying that the previous dishes were not delicious, but..."

Jimmy fetched himself a bowl of fish chowder.Hearing his words, Penello and William looked at each other and smiled silently—"Nymph's Secret" will update the theme of the menu this month, and the house elves have been studying hard every day during this time.

Naturally, the product of hard study cannot be easily wasted.

"It's not a bad thing to have a change of taste."

After eating, William stretched out a long stretch. In November, the sun at noon became much milder, and the cool weather was just right for fishing.

All kinds of things are developing for the better, even Snape, who has never changed for thousands of years, is no exception-to be honest, even if he suddenly washes his face and hair tomorrow, changes into a new robe and appears in the auditorium, William None will be particularly surprised.

An owl flew to William's desk.

He unfolded the note the owl was carrying:

"William,
If you're free in the afternoon, maybe come join us for a cup of hot tea?A friend wants to see you.We're at Hagrid's hut.

Sylvanus Kettleburn"

"This talk has no beginning or end."

William really couldn't figure it out - but he really wanted to find a chance to talk to Professor Kettleburn and ask him to help introduce some magical creatures, and Hagrid would take care of them.

"Professor, I will go there after taking the Ancient Runes class."

He wrote the reply and handed it to the owl.

As the first class in the afternoon, the ancient runes played a very good role in curbing drowsiness.Even after two months of study, they have only learned the basic characters and grammar of this course, and have not yet started to learn writing and translation systematically.

Just like what Professor Babling said at the beginning of the semester, nearly half of the students have already left, and they all chose to give up learning ancient runes and switch to other elective courses—because it is really too difficult.

"Even Latin isn't that far off."

William shook his head, wanting to temporarily expel the knowledge of ancient runes. He had already walked out of the castle's foyer and was heading towards Hagrid's hut.

From a distance, he could see a white smoke rising from the chimney of the hut.After Halloween, the big pumpkins in that field have been consumed, and some of the remaining ones are made into pumpkin juice.

"I don't know who the friend Kettleburn mentioned is still so mysterious."

William couldn't guess even if it was a time traveler.

He walked down the high slope and came to Hagrid's hut and gently knocked on the door, "Please come in, the door is unlocked!" Hagrid shouted loudly from inside.

William found that there were not only Professor Kettleburn and Hagrid in the cabin, but also Hermione!She also raised her head in surprise and greeted him.

"It's all here, let's go."

Hagrid stroked his beard and said with a smile.

They entered the Forbidden Forest, all the way east, and William soon discovered that Hagrid brought them to the site of the acromantula, but those who dropped 50 Galleons a pint did not show up
"Hey, giant eight-eyed spiders."

William corrected his incorrect thoughts in his heart.

"Aragok is very distressed. The group of werewolves who sneaked over would always secretly attack his descendants at night, and many acromantulas died."

Hagrid said in a worried "whisper".

Hermione gave William a hard gouged look; he was obviously responsible for the decline of acromantia, not the werewolves - but she didn't reveal anything.

This is a "common secret" that belongs to them.

Soon they came to a clearing.

Pushing aside the branches in front of him, William suddenly saw a silver light rushing towards him.Its speed was so fast that William had no room to react at all, and only saw a white horn.

William realized that it was the injured unicorn!

But the unicorn just headbutted him on the chest, and ran straight to Hermione, licking her hand, making her laugh out tickled.

The pay gap is very different.

"Hello, William."

The centaur Firenze greeted them, "I'm sorry we have to meet like this—the centaur promised the wizard that he would not approach your castle casually, but Bane doesn't like you entering the Forbidden Forest either."

There was a regretful expression on his face.

"I've been wanting to find a chance to talk to you."

　Rewards and monthly pass acknowledgments will be updated tomorrow.
