Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 7 Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts

Time passed peacefully day by day, and before we knew it, it was the end of October. George Fred brought good news that this Halloween there would be a huge pumpkin to help.

Winters is now faced with a dilemma. When he thinks that Voldemort may come back at any time, he is eager to start the journey to the forbidden book area as soon as possible, but he does not want to attract too much attention. "It seems that there is really no way to have the best of both worlds." Winters After thinking about it for a few weeks, I decided to show myself well in Potions class this Friday.

Professor Snape is an unbearable professor in all aspects. He always talks coldly, especially to Harry, and makes all kinds of ridicule, but he is not so kind to his students. Snape is different from other students. Professors, other professors will enthusiastically answer your questions.

Snape will tell you which page to read in the book, or ask you to go to the library to look up information, but he will not give you the answer directly.In addition to reading these days, Winters spent time in the library taking notes and looking up information, trying to surprise Professor Snape.

On Wednesday, the first class was Potions.As soon as they entered the Potions classroom, they saw Snape waiting for them.Everyone sat in their seats consciously, waiting for Snape to speak.

"Let's review our past knowledge today."

"Someone tell me what I'll get from narcissus root powder and mugwort infusion."

"A water of life and death, a powerful sleeping pill, poisonous," Winters said immediately.

Snape was stunned for a moment, "Then can you tell me what material itself is a powerful antidote?"

"Bezoars, taken from the stomachs of goats, are very valuable."

"What is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane".

"There is no difference. Both are the same plant, collectively called Aconitum."

Snape seemed stunned for a moment and then said slowly, "Mr. Raynor adds 5 points to Gryffindor, but you have to stay after class."

Harry and Ron immediately looked at him with sympathy and admiration, while Hermione was unwilling to do so.This potions class went by surprisingly quickly. After the bell rang, Snape didn't leave any homework.Everyone in the classroom walked out, but Winters was waiting for Snape to speak as if waiting for trial.

"You want to go to the Restricted Area," Snape said as he packed his things.

"I...I just." Winters didn't expect it would be so difficult for him to start.

"I saw your thoughts, Renault. You told me all your thoughts." Winters felt extremely shocked.

"Professor...I..."

"I can understand your thinking. Dumbledore has said on many occasions that the mysterious man has not left, but is just dormant in a corner." Snape said slowly in an emotionless tone.

"As for why I can know your thoughts, it's because you don't know Occlumency, and I know Legilimency."

"What....."

"I can give you the Dark Arts Knowledge and Defense Against the Dark Arts related licenses in the Forbidden Book Zone, but I have a requirement."

"Request?" Winters already regretted it.

"Only after you have completely mastered the two spells of Invocation and Occlumency can I give you those two licenses," Snape said.

"Why..." Winters was confused.

"Black magic is not as simple as you think. There is a reason why many schools are cautious about black magic. Countless talented wizards have been riddled with holes in black magic, whether it is their bodies or souls." Si Nep looked at Winters coldly.

"So I will only give you those two licenses after you have completely mastered Occlumency and Soul Guarding. You come to my office for testing at 8pm every Friday, starting from next Friday."

Snape said, and Snape waved his wand and a note floated in front of Winters' eyes.

"Occlumency is in the restricted area, and this is your special permission,"

Do you have any other questions"

"No more, sir" Winters said and ran away without looking back.

Snape looked at Winters' retreating figure with a complicated expression.

The content of the afternoon spell class is the levitating spell. The spell is relatively long, but as long as you chant the spell clearly and wave the wand correctly, there will be no problem.Winters mastered it quickly and with little difficulty.Just as he was talking to Aurora,

"Your transformation spell...".

"The magic wand must be waved and shaken, and the shaman must be read carefully..."

It was Hermione who was coaching Ron.

"You understand so well, then try it." Ron finally couldn't help it.

"Then watch out, Wingardium Leviosa," Hermione said, waving and shaking, and the feathers on her table floated up.

"Look, Miss Granger is the third one to succeed," Professor Flitwick shouted excitedly, while Ron's mood was extremely bad.

After class, Winters took his time deliberately to pack his things.

"What's wrong, kid?" The Charms Professor could tell at a glance that Winters was worried.

"Professor, I want to go to the forbidden book area"

"Why, do you have any questions?" Professor Levi asked a little sensitively.

"Well, people are saying that Professor Dumbledore insists that the mysterious man has not completely failed and will make a comeback one day, so... I mean, since the greatest wizard - Professor Dumbledore thinks that Voldemort One day I will make a comeback - I think if that time comes, the least I can do is not hold others back." Winters expressed his inner thoughts in a very awkward manner.

"That's it..." Flitwick said thoughtfully.

"But I can't give you restricted area access to dark magic knowledge."

"Is it because I don't know Occlumency and Invocation Guard yet? Professor Snape requires that I must completely master Occlumency and Invocation Guard."

"That's true. But I can give you a high-level magic license. You can first try the regular magic spells that are used by higher-level students. Don't underestimate those regular magic spells. If you use these magic spells Proper fusion will produce unimaginable effects and can also play a role in fighting against black magic wizards. The best defense is offense."

"Magic fusion?"

"Yes...I'll give you a senior-level magic license, and...by the way, this is a list of books related to ancient magic texts and ancient spells. I only listed part of them. Take it. ” Flitwick handed Winters a piece of paper.

"Only by laying a solid foundation can you climb to higher places. It's a taboo to aim too high," Flitwick said softly.But I have to admit, you are really talented."

"I'm very grateful," Winters said sheepishly.

The herbal medicine class that starts at 4pm is held in the greenhouse. They have to learn to take care of white flowers, a main raw material for treating trauma.But when Hermione's name was called, no one responded.Winters then realized that Hermione was not here. "She said she wasn't feeling well and that she would make up her homework," Aurora said next to Winters.

Winters: "She's sick?"

Aurora: "No, she was just feeling extremely depressed because she found that she didn't have any friends."

Winters: "You're not..."

"Me and her... how should I put it... maybe the opponent is more suitable?" Aurora said awkwardly.

"It would make me cry if I said that Muggle children should not be allowed to come to the great Hogwarts at all," Malfoy said in his drawl again.As soon as he finished speaking, several Slytherin students glanced at him coldly.

"Five points will be deducted from Slytherin for disrupting classroom discipline." Professor Sprout said sternly.Winters resisted the strong desire to turn the bowl of fresh vegetables in front of Malfoy into two porcupines, and forced himself to turn his attention to Sprout's class.

After class, Winters saw Hermione in the auditorium. She was writing a lot about her experiences and precautions in taking care of Bai Xian. Her eyes were red and there were dark circles.

"Hmm... Hogwarts seems to have a huge pumpkin lantern on Halloween... You will be interested... right?" Winters was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

"Can you give this assignment to Professor Sprout for me?" Hermione didn't seem to hear anything.

"Of course...Hermione?" Winters looked at Hermione, her messy hair was dull,

"Are you okay?"

"I'm tired," Hermione replied abruptly.
