[HP]How to become a swordsman at Hogwarts

We faced the troll together, and Hermione, the assistant, carried everything for everyone in front of Professor McGonagall, which made Hermione's relationship with Harry and Ron suddenly become closer, and Linlang and her Potions class partner were also torn apart. Now, the two of them took turns to take the unlucky Harry. In fact, Harry's potions are not ridiculously bad, but Professor Snape pays special attention to him, so he needs a teammate who can stop him when he makes a mistake before Professor Snape finds out.

Harry had even summed up the difference in their styles. Hermione had a solid foundation, and Harry could even notice that the way she held the knife was different from the one in the book, but her reaction speed sometimes couldn't keep up with Harry's mistakes. And the speed with which Snape found out.

Linlang was able to react quickly, but maybe because he had been with the Weasley twins for a long time, he was too innovative (although Linlang said that every good swordsmith should have his own style). There were two Harry dunks. The reason was because he "didn't stop Miss Linlang's random operations." Fortunately, most of the time, Snape stood aside for a long time, leaving Harry in a cold sweat, and then left with a cold snort.

To sum up, it seems that it still tests his psychological quality.

It was another Friday's Potions class, and it was the turn of Linlang and Harry to learn cold potions. As the weather turned cold, many students in Hogwarts had caught colds. Before they started, Professor Snape specially They were "informed" that the potion made today would be given to them when they went to the hospital wing to see if they had a cold.

The classroom was filled with tension. As a Quidditch player, Harry was in a high-risk group for catching a cold. He looked at Linlang with envy, who was still the same as usual: "Lin, how could you do that? Not nervous at all?" Even Hermione next door was a little more cautious than usual. He heard that Ron had been slapped three times.

Linlang concentrated on squeezing out the juice from the beans with the side of her knife, and took the time to answer him: "It's okay, I won't catch a cold anyway." Harry:? ? ? Although I don't know where Linlang's confidence comes from, doesn't it mean that he must have drank this bottle of potion himself?

So the two of them turned upside down in this class. Harry urgently stopped Linlang from continuing to process. He read the process ten times before he dared to start. When doing it, Linlang was not allowed to do anything different from the textbook. , although the final result was a little darker than what was said in the book, and only got an A (passing grade), but Harry was already satisfied: It was so good that he would not poison himself to death, and Wood would not poison himself because he was in the exam. I'll kill myself if I don't get it done.

After handing over the potion, the two of them packed their things and were about to run away, but Professor Snape suddenly said: "Miss Linlang, please stay for a while after class." Linlang suddenly stopped. It was okay to concentrate when making the potion, but She was in detention now, probably alone, and she immediately understood everyone's mood in class. She also wanted to grab Harry to prevent him from leaving, but Harry mercilessly waved her away.

There were fewer and fewer people in the classroom. Linlang sat stiffly in her seat under the sympathetic eyes of every Gryffindor student who walked out. It wasn't until the last person left that she took a deep breath and stood. Got up. Before I had taken two steps, I heard Professor Snape's deep voice: "Bring your books."

Linlang was stunned for a moment, then turned back to pick up her potions book and handed it into the hands of Professor Snape. The black-haired wizard turned the pages of her book and frowned even more. He pointed to the two lines written by Linlang on the cold medicine and asked: "Since Miss Linlang knows that turning here 5 times clockwise is enough, why do you do this?" The potion will still be the same color when it comes out."

Linlang had a habit in Potions class of writing down the steps she took to correct herself in the margins of the book. If Professor Snape deducted points from Harry or ridiculed her after seeing her process, she would write it down in the margins of the book. Put an

Linlang didn't betray Harry, but just said implicitly: "It's my first time, so I want to be more cautious." "Gryffindor? Be cautious?" Professor Snape sneered, "I hope to be able to do it in the next class. See the correct color." "Okay, Professor!" The next class was with Ron. Ron couldn't stop her, she was confident.

Professor Snape flipped through some of the things she had written before. Linlang hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to ask a question that had troubled her for a long time: "Professor, may I ask why sometimes I maximize the medicinal properties of medicinal materials?" , but it’s wrong?”

"There is not only one kind of medicinal material in the potion, but also different directions." Although Professor Snape was a little impatient, he still answered Linlang. Linlang suddenly understood. She originally brought in the idea of ​​​​forging swords. Their sword-making lineage likes to select the same type of ore to promote it to the extreme and then fuse it. However, they forgot that the potions are different, and they fell into such a simple misunderstanding. inside.

As Linlang thought about it, she also felt that her nervousness about facing Professor Snape had dissipated a lot. She bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Professor, I understand!" Professor Snape did not answer, but his face looked better. The young master returned the book to her and signaled that she could leave.

When she walked out of the door, she saw three people who were quite conscientious. They were waiting at the corner. Harry took the initiative to help her hold the textbook in a flattering manner: "Why is Snape looking for you?" Seeing his good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Linlang couldn't help but ask. To put more pressure on him: "It's nothing, the professor just asked about some of my previous changes."

Harry breathed a sigh of relief, but Hermione was very interested: "What did the professor say?" Linlang had discussed this issue with Hermione before. Hermione was generally more conservative and preferred to follow the content in the book, but sometimes I have followed the process exactly, but the effect is not optimal.

Linlang and Hermione naturally fell behind the two boys and chatted about what the professor said. Harry and Ron looked at each other, seeing panic in each other's eyes, and gradually quickened their pace.

There was no class in the afternoon and it was a rare good weather. Even though it was a bit cold, the four of them still sat in the courtyard and read a book to comfort Harry who was nervous about the Quidditch match the next day.

Around the little jam lamp made by Hermione, the four heads gathered together to study the book "Quidditch Origins". Although Linlang didn't know how Harry gained strength from more than 700 foul methods and various unlucky cases, Harry did look much better than at lunch.

Speaking of this small lamp, it looked like a small blue flame placed in a jam jar, but it was unexpectedly warm. A small jar could warm the four of them. Linlang is originally a fire girl and is not afraid of the cold, but she originally wanted to give it to the Weasley brothers who have been training every day. However, because she is a fire girl, the fire she channels is somewhat aggressive and always explodes jam jars. , and finally Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, so she made two more for Linlang. Linlang tried many times after that, but could never control the power of the flame. In anger, he decided to save the country by making a jam jar that could not be exploded.

Unfortunately, when Professor Snape passed by, their action of covering up the jam lamp was too suspicious, which attracted the professor's attention. The professor, who was obviously not in a good mood, confiscated the book. Harry, who had lost the book, was immersed in nervousness again. , until I couldn’t sit still after dinner, and finally even boldly decided to ask the professor to return the book.

Under the adoring eyes of the three people, Harry walked out of the lounge aggressively, but slipped back in less than half a minute, and said to Linlang embarrassedly: "Lin, why don't you go with me." To be honest, He also knew that Linlang was useless, but Linlang was already the most pleasing to Professor Snape of Gryffindor. Linlang saw that he was really pitiful and she had already finished her homework, so she readily agreed.

Along the way, Harry was still simulating how to ask Professor Snape to come back justly. Although Linlang felt that Harry could not say a word when seeing Professor Snape, he taught himself without a teacher through encouraging education. He was very supportive and even helped him think of what to say, which greatly boosted Harry's confidence.

But the reality is often more tragic than imagined. After they opened the door and there was no answer, they saw that there were only two people in the house, Professor Snape and Filch. Professor Snape had his robes lifted above his knees. One of his legs was bloody and bloody, and Filch was handing him a bandage.

When Harry saw something was wrong, he was about to close the door. Unfortunately, Professor Snape reacted faster and roared: "Potter!" Harry had no choice but to throw away the words he had been thinking about and said directly: "I think Do you know if I can get my book back?" Before he finished speaking, he got an angry reply: "Get out! Get out!"

Harry rolled out in a hurry. Linlang who was following him hesitated, walked to Professor Snape, put down a box of purple jade paste, and whispered: "Professor, this wound medicine is very useful. Basically Just apply it overnight." After saying that, he ran away so fast that Professor Snape was stunned.

"Stop!" Linlang subconsciously stopped when she heard Professor Snape's voice. She turned around and looked at Professor Snape who stopped her. He threw a book to her with a dark face: "Get out!" Linlang didn't. Thinking of the unexpected surprise, he looked at the "Quidditch Origins" in his hand and happily said goodbye to Professor Snape: "Thank you, Professor, goodbye Professor!"

Linlang walked out of the door and wanted to give Harry a surprise, but Harry's attention was obviously no longer on the book. He pulled Linlang and ran towards the Gryffindor lounge without giving up sharing his discovery: "He It was bitten by that three-headed monster, and he wanted what was under the trap door."

Linlang also became serious: "Shh, go back and talk." At night in Hogwarts, you never know how many nocturnal students and walking ghosts are nearby. Harry also reacted, stopped talking and just rushed.

Hermione and Ron, who were still waiting for them in the lounge, were startled when a sudden thrust came in. They were even more shocked when they saw the book in Linlang's hand: "You actually asked for the book back?" , how did it succeed?" Harry actually didn't know, but there was more important information at the moment.

He waved, motioning for Hermione and Ron to come over, and whispered: "I saw Snape's foot was injured, and he also said something about three heads. On Halloween, he must have released the troll, in order to get To that hidden thing.”

Hermione's eyes widened. "No - he won't," she said. "I know he's not very good, but he will never steal something that Dumbledore has carefully collected." She turned to Linlang again: "Lin, are you paying attention? Did you get anything?"

Linlang thought about it carefully: "It did look like a wound caused by the dog, but the injury was so serious. I also saw the medicine in the hospital wing, and Filch was giving medicine to the professor. I don't think the principal didn't know, If the professor wants to steal from the principal, the principal should not be indifferent."

Linlong's words were reasonable. Harry didn't trust Snape, but he was very convinced of the principal and felt a little embarrassed. Linlang was still thinking about what happened, and suddenly thought of a person: "If there is someone in Hogwarts who has a problem, I suspect it is Professor Quirrell." I have heard of ghosts getting into their bodies and manipulating people to do bad things before. story, if the one in Quirrell's body was a ghost, it wouldn't be a problem to do something about it.

The other three people were not very convinced about this: "Professor Quirrell seems very timid, how could he do such a thing?" Linlang was actually not sure about Li Gui, and didn't know much about the two professors. They all agreed and became unsure, and they frowned and fell silent again.

The four people looked serious and looked at the other people without saying a word. People coming in and out of the lounge looked at them strangely. Occasionally, two enthusiastic classmates came over to pat Harry on the shoulder and cheer him up. After refueling, he was forced back by their aura.

In the end, it was Hermione who couldn't hold it any longer and summed up: "Okay, both of us professors should pay more attention. If we find anything wrong, we will report it to the principal. Now we all go back to rest. Especially you, Harry, you have to use your best." Mentally face tomorrow's game." "Oh no." The tension that had been deliberately forgotten before came to his heart again, and Harry covered his face in despair and shouted.
