Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Harry and Ron, as well as those who participated in the DA last semester, are no strangers to silent spells. They all know that Hermione has a deep knowledge in this area, and can even be compared with the guy who has left school.

They can all shout out the name of the spell, but in fact they are casting another spell. At the same time, they have also mastered the more difficult spell-casting skill of the Warless Curse.

Therefore, no one would spar with Hermione last year. After all, what they wanted was to improve their spellcasting skills, not simply get beaten.

Snape knew far more about Hermione than Harry and others did.Dumbledore and Ike would tell him certain things without fear of leaking secrets.He knew very well that Hermione didn't have to study at all in this class.

Of course, you can't just watch.

Snape picked up the quill on the podium and wrote on a piece of parchment, then rolled it up and handed it to her.Without saying anything, he waved his hand and asked her to go aside and study by herself.

They were all little tricks he invented that he thought would be useful to Hermione now.

Snape would not spend too much time on Hermione, Harry was the focus of his attention.Because of someone's unexpected discovery, Snape's attitude towards Harry became even worse, and so did Harry's. Their relationship did not improve because of the Order of the Phoenix.

Besides, Sirius is still alive.

He patrolled the classroom with disgust and contempt, and deliberately stopped next to Harry and Ron, so that they could not cheat like others.

Although more than half of the people in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class had learned the Iron Armor Charm under Harry's guidance last year, no one had tried to use this spell without making a sound.This is true even when Hermione is around.At the moment, I can only recite the spell in a low voice and mutter it in my mouth, trying not to be heard by others.

This kind of behavior would have no chance of succeeding with Snape standing right next to him.

Ron's face turned red and he shut his mouth tightly, fearing that he would not be able to resist the temptation and recite a spell, which would trigger Snape's vicious words.Harry was vigilant with his wand raised, although looking at Ron like this, the curse was definitely not coming.

"That's really bad, Weasley." Snape looked at him for a while, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.

He drew his wand and suddenly turned it towards Harry.Harry reacted quickly and immediately turned around and shouted: "Armor for protection!"

The Iron Armor Curse released with all its strength directly rebounded Snape's curse, knocking him unsteadily and causing him to retreat. It was Hermione who helped him, so that he didn't crash onto the table in embarrassment.

Such a big movement naturally attracted the attention of everyone, who all looked at the angry Snape and the fierce-looking Harry.

"Potter, do you remember that we were practicing silent spells?"

"Remember," Harry replied.

"So is this the silent spell you understand, Potter?" Snape lifted his robes and broke away from Hermione's hand, "I really doubt that your brain is smaller than a troll. Can you understand what I am saying..."

"Lockdown! Saturday night, in my office," he said. "I won't allow anyone to be rude to me, not even the Savior!"

Hearing this, Harry had an indifferent expression on his face. The moment he fought back, he knew that he couldn't escape from confinement.However, what he didn't expect was that he was not the only one to be imprisoned.

"Miss Granger, do you remember what I asked you to do before?" Snape pointed his finger at Hermione, who looked normal, showing no trace of the gratitude she had shown him for holding him up just now.

"Remember, you showed me what you gave me," Hermione replied.

"So, why didn't you do it?" Snape snorted, "Confinement, come to my office tonight!"

"Now, keep practicing! Don't stop until I tell you to stop!"

Seeing this, everyone in the class knew that Snape was really angry, but Harry was also angry.

He rushed directly to Snape and said angrily: "This has nothing to do with Hermione, you are just taking revenge!"

"You've forced yourself to stay locked up for another day because you contradicted the teacher." Snape looked at Harry coldly and said.

Harry was about to say something, but Ron immediately covered his mouth and pulled him back. He didn't want his good friend to get into big trouble on the first day of school.

It's better to let it go as soon as possible, while Snape doesn't deduct points from Gryffindor.

This disturbance affected everyone in the classroom. In the following time, no one successfully used the silent spell.But no one complained about Harry. Instead, they immediately sent their blessings after class.

"That's great, Harry!" said Ron. "It's so nice to see the old Bat looking so pissed off!"

"You shouldn't have said that, Harry." Hermione had a different view. She calmly looked into Harry's eyes and asked, "What were you thinking at that time, and why did you do that?"

"Didn't you see, Hermione, he wanted to use a curse on me!" Harry said excitedly, "You really shouldn't have helped him, you should have let him hit the table hard! He didn't accept it at all. Your affection has even punished you for being tight-lipped!"

Harry didn't give Hermione and Ron a chance to interrupt, and continued: "I've had enough of him for a long time! It was like this when I took those Occlumency courses last year. I was his guinea pig, punching bag, and punching bag!"

"Also before, Sirius and the others came to fight with us. Finally, even Professor McGonagall came. Where is he?"

"Dumbledore must be so confused that he would choose to believe him!"

"Don't you hear the tone in his voice when he talks about the dark arts? He loves them! So varied and varied..."

"But you have to admit, Harry, Snape did teach you Occlumency. And what he said is indeed right..."

"Is he right?" Harry's eyes widened and he looked directly at Hermione.

Hermione looked at him calmly, and then said: "Yes. Think about it, that's what you said when you told us how to deal with Voldemort."

"You said that relying on spells alone is useless. It also requires a flexible mind and courage... This is the same as what he said today about how to deal with black magic. Bravery and quick thinking..."

Harry was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Hermione would still remember what he said a long time ago. This made a trace of guilt suddenly appear in his heart, and his anger suddenly disappeared a lot.

"I think you should stop looking at Snape through colored glasses. If you think about it carefully, he actually didn't do anything to hurt you."

"Okay, let's go back first, put the books back in the dormitory, and then go to the auditorium to have dinner." Hermione said.

"I have to go to solitary confinement at night."
