Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Hermione pushed open the door to Snape's office with her heart full of thoughts and stepped out, her face returning to its usual look.

After passing through the corridor on the basement floor and going up the spiral staircase to the eighth floor, he confiscated the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes toys from the two first-year students at the door of the common room, and then pretended to be cruel to them. Scared as a quail.

After saying the password and returning to the common room, Harry and Ron were working on the Defense Against the Dark Arts homework left by Snape at the table.I leaned over and took a look, but I wasn't even a third of the way done.

"You're back." Ron saw Hermione immediately dropping the quill in her hand and asked, "How is it? Did that old bat give you a hard time?"

"No." Hermione shook her head and sat directly next to the two of them. "He just threw me a book and asked me to read it there. He asked me to come back when the time came."

Hearing this, Harry also breathed a sigh of relief.He felt that Hermione was sentenced to solitary confinement because of him, and it would be very troublesome for him if she suffered any more because of it.

Sighing, his eyes casually glanced at the thing in Hermione's hand, and asked: "How many new students were caught breaking the rules just now?"

Hermione casually put the toy in her hand on the table, and Ron next to her immediately took it.She didn't care and said to Harry: "Dumbledore said that items from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes are not allowed to appear in the school. There is no way. Who let me see them?"

As he said, he spread his hands.

"Although I also think Fred's stuff is interesting, but school rules are school rules."

As a habitual offender of school rules, Hermione's words sounded harsh and uncomfortable to Harry, but he would not argue with Hermione over such a trivial matter.

Why do you do something that is impossible to win?

They chatted for a while longer, and Hermione returned to her dormitory.Parvati and Lavender had already washed themselves and were sitting cross-legged on the bed, talking and laughing.

Hermione greeted them and went to wash up.When she came out, the two people were still chatting.If you listen to it for a while, it’s all about love.

Without saying anything, Hermione sat down at her desk and took out two small notebooks from the pocket of her robe. When she tapped them with her hand, they immediately grew larger and knocked a bottle of ink directly to the ground.

"Snapped!"

Parvati and Lavender followed the sound and saw Hermione waving her hand and using a recovery spell, and the ink bottle flew back to the table intact.After taking another look, I saw the two thick and large notebooks.

"New?" Lavender asked.

Hermione hummed, without turning her head, and casually opened the book on top.Seeing this, Lavender raised an eyebrow at Parvati and continued the topic.

Their relationship was not close, especially since last year, when it was basically limited to polite greetings.At that time, Hermione was preoccupied with all kinds of magical knowledge, and even though she had a time-turner, she was always busy.

Even for close friends, a period of alienation can cause embarrassment, let alone Hermione and the others?

Gradually, they formed a tacit understanding: Hermione went to do her own thing, and Lavender and Parvati would not disturb her.

Or maybe it can be said to be ignored.

This did have some advantages. At least Hermione didn't have to worry about her things being searched by others, but she didn't forget to set up defenses. After all, many of them couldn't be exposed.

For example, the two resurrected dementors in the suitcase...

When it was time to turn off the lights, Hermione also put down the notes in her hand, raised her hand to cast a spell and climbed into her bed. By this time, Lavender and Parvati had fallen into a sweet dream.After a peaceful sleep, when I opened my eyes again, I was still the first to wake up in the dormitory.

There was no feeling of fatigue or lack of sleep, Hermione was used to this kind of routine.

After washing up quietly, he put the two notebooks into the pocket of his robe using a shrinking spell, then selected the textbooks he would use in the morning, and left the dormitory directly.

After reading a book in the common room for a while, Harry and Ron came over yawning.

Looking at the messy clothes on their bodies, Hermione waved her hand and used magic to tidy them up. The tightness of the collar also made the two of them feel a lot more energetic.

"Hermione, I don't know what I would do without you." Harry said as he held the collar, "Of course, it would be better if it could be lighter."

"If you were gentler, you wouldn't have woken up at all." Hermione stood up with a thick stack of books and walked towards the auditorium with them.

They were not together in the first class of the morning, but they had to be together in the second class of Transfiguration.

There are still many people who choose Transfiguration, and there are even more people than there are Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.At first glance, it looks not much less than in previous years.

Professor McGonagall is still strict, and it is much more difficult to improve the class.At the end of the class, only a few people did not feel that they were listening to the Holy Book and kept up with the rhythm.

"Passing the OLS exam is not the end. The S exam is related to your future employment!" Professor McGonagall said sternly after assigning a lot of homework.

"Don't think that it will be easier if you take less courses. S and OWLS are completely different levels of difficulty! You have a lot of calculations, and you only have two years!"

"Get nervous, classmates!"

Harry and Ron felt dizzy and left the Transfiguration classroom as if running away. They did not recover until they had lunch and slept again.

"So, you two haven't touched a single bit of your homework?" Hermione asked, looking at the two of them.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, then shook their heads.Seeing this, Hermione just sighed.

Over the years, she has long been used to it.

"Bring all the things from Potions class, and don't leave anything behind." She ordered, and saw the two of them hurriedly turned around and ran towards the dormitory.

Of course, Ron was the only one who went back to get something. Harry had nothing at all and was still waiting for Professor Slughorn to sponsor him.

They arrived at the Potions classroom along a route they had become very familiar with over the past few years. When they arrived, there were twelve or thirteen students gathered in the corridor outside the classroom.There are four Slytherins, including Harry's arch-enemy Malfoy, but his two followers, Crabbe and Goyle, are missing. It seems that the OLS results are not up to standard.

There are also four Ravenclaws, Michael, Anthony, Terry and Mandy, who are acquaintances of Harry and they also participated in the da last year.The Hufflepuff one is more familiar, it's Ernie MacMillan.

After saying hello and chatting for a while, the classroom door opened, and Professor Slughorn walked out with a big belly and let them in.

The classroom was filled with steam and strange smells.Apart from the podium, there were only three large tables, each with a large crucible covered with a lid. If you were close, you could smell the aroma.
