Ryan frowned when he asked the Priory to pay attention to the Muggle case.

For some reason, the face of that poor Muggle girl Hill Clark suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ryan recalled it carefully, but couldn't connect her to any of the doubts.

He shook his head and wrote Hill Clark's name on the parchment.

Ryan believed that his inspiration must have detected some kind of connection, but the connection was too obscure for his consciousness to grasp.

After explaining his requirements to the Priory, Ryan put the token in the corner again.

Ravenclaw continued the previous lesson and taught Ryan to use two rune characters to cast spells.

Because the Christmas vacation is coming soon, Ravenclaw's teaching schedule has been accelerated a lot.

"Very good, it seems that you have mastered the compound spell of 'Coordination' very well." Ravenclaw nodded, "I will teach you all the spells of 'Connect' and 'Open' before the holidays. , after the winter vacation, if you have a good grasp, we can start trying to cast spells with three runic characters."

"Thank you for your teaching." Ryan rubbed his temples and asked, "Coordination, connection and opening, aren't these the spells for making the disappearing cabinet?"

"You know a lot." Ravenclaw was a little surprised. "The Vanishing Cabinet is a rare alchemy item. When I heard you talking to the principal before, I felt that you were very accomplished in the theory of transformation, so I just The teaching plan has been modified.”

"What do you want to teach me?"

"A very useful compound spell." Ravenclaw said. "If you want to give it a name, you can call it 'displacement'."

Ryan thought about the function of the disappearing cabinet and understood what Ravenclaw meant: "Space magic?"

"It's a little bit involved." A faint smile appeared on Ravenclaw's face. "Getting in touch earlier can lay the foundation for time magic. After all, time and space are not separated. Moreover, compared to time magic, , the safety of space magic is better."

I'm afraid it's not much better, Ryan complained in his mind, changing from "extremely dangerous" to "very dangerous", after all, it is still very dangerous!

Ravenclaw seemed to have read through Ryan's mind. She said: "The replacement is very safe. At least, I have not heard of anyone having a life-threatening accident using the disappearing cabinet."

Ryan breathed a sigh of relief.

Early the next morning, Professor McGonagall distributed school leaving statistics books in the auditorium, requiring every little wizard who planned to leave school and go home during the Christmas vacation to come to her to sign for confirmation.

Ryan was not in a hurry to go to Professor McGonagall to sign, because other young wizards swarmed to the teacher's desk, and he didn't want to squeeze in the crowd.

It wasn't until the last day of the second week that Ryan and Justin went to submit their application for leaving school.

"Go home, be safe, and don't cause trouble at home." Professor McGonagall signed "Agree" on the application form with emerald green ink. At the same time, Ryan saw a form in Professor McGonagall's hand. Sting's name appeared in the "leaving school" column.

Professor McGonagall looked at Ryan and coughed.

"I know, Professor, we must behave well at home." Ryan said quickly.

Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Mr. Franklin, are you still studying the theory of deformation recently?"

"I want to take a break recently," Ryan said. "Because the winter vacation is coming soon, I plan to finish reading the few books I have on hand first. After all, I can't leave school with the library books."

"It's good to relax." Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, "Albus came to me a few days ago to talk about your Transfiguration learning. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen him look so excited. expression."

Ryan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and he said with a fake smile: "Maybe it's just because Professor Dumbledore was in a good mood at the time?"

"He hasn't been in a good mood recently." Professor McGonagall said, "However, Mr. Franklin, I have to remind you that you must stay at theoretical research and don't try to put the theory into practice, because most theories are not Incompleteness may have unpredictable consequences.”

"I understand, Professor." Ryan quickly changed the subject, pointing to the list of names in Professor McGonagall's hand, "Can I ask what the curse is?"

Professor McGonagall glanced at the parchment and smiled: "The use of transfiguration and name magic is related to the signature on the application you submitted. Of course, to achieve this level, you must at least pass the NEWT exam. level.”

"Thank you for your answer." Ryan did not continue to ask. He knew that Professor McGonagall was hinting that he should not be too ambitious.

Ryan bowed and pulled Justin out of the Transfiguration Office.

"How do you manage to talk and laugh in front of Professor McGonagall?" Justin stuck out his tongue when he reached the corner of the stairs. "I can't even breathe in front of Professor McGonagall."

"How can Professor McGonagall be as scary as you say?" Ryan laughed, "She is actually quite approachable."

Justin glanced at Ryan strangely, not wanting to comment on his ability to read people.

"When are you going to buy the tickets?" Justin asked, "Speaking of which, I paid attention to the school leaving form and found that there are Potter and Weasley in the column for staying. Aren't they going back?"

"The Christmas party at Hogwarts is also quite interesting." Ryan said.

"Indeed, how about we stay until after the Christmas party and then go back?" Justin's eyes lit up, "I feel that missing any party at Hogwarts is a loss."

"I see you just want to have Christmas dinner." Ryan complained mercilessly.

Justin looked at the sky and whistled.

Ryan sighed: "Okay, let's go back after Christmas dinner. However, I don't want to miss the opportunity to spend Christmas with my family, so I'll set off after dinner."

"No matter how fast you are, you won't be able to catch up with the family dinner, right?" Justin asked in surprise.

Ryan smiled and shook his finger: "Knight Bus."

Justin's face suddenly had a look of fear.

"Don't worry, I'm not forcing you to go with me." Ryan said, "You can enjoy your Christmas dinner in peace and then take the train home the next day."

"No, Ryan, I'll go with you." Justin gritted his teeth and showed a resolute expression, "I don't want to miss the opportunity to be with my family."

Ryan smiled, with a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

In the last week, except for Snape who seemed to have increased the teaching content and homework load with a vengeance, the other professors were more or less tolerant.

During Monday's Potions class, Snape walked quickly behind the little wizard, his voice even darker than usual.

"I don't expect you to be very diligent..." he said in a long tone, "but I also don't want you to forget everything I taught you as soon as the holidays are over...Franklin!"

Ryan stood up: "I'm listening, Professor."

Snape's eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he asked, "Tell me the formula of the sleeping potion."

"Lavender, Flobber caterpillar slime and valerian, professor." Ryan answered quickly.

Snape nodded in a way that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and walked back to the podium: "Today we are going to learn how to make a sobering potion."

He wrote the recipe, steps and key points on the blackboard, and continued: "I will mark the results of each of you. When you come back from the vacation, I will teach you the preparation of sleeping pills."

Snape paused for a moment and showed a creepy smile: "Then, I will let each of you drink your own sobering potion and sleeping potion. I hope you can be more careful with your potions."
