[Comprehensive HP colleagues] That year

After the turmoil of the extermination case passed, the students in the school who supported the mysterious man and the Death Eaters temporarily subsided on the surface, and Hogwarts gained a period of peace.This is not only because of the repeated warnings from the professors, but also because the end of the term is approaching, and everyone is busy with final exams, and there is no time to do other things.Lynn watched Marceline, who was very bad at memorizing things, desperately memorizing the most difficult and difficult principle of Animagus transformation. Those difficult theories are memorized.As for Lynn herself, the most troublesome thing for her is the least theoretical Defense Against the Dark Arts. It's not that she doesn't have enough magic power, but that her flexibility is really poor. For example, she can't aim accurately with the Disarming Curse.Among Lynn's friends, Sirius is the best at learning Defense Against the Dark Arts. No matter what the spell is, he can learn it almost instantly.One month before the final exam, Lynn asked Sirius to tutor him, but Lynn's accuracy almost made Sirius despair.

At this time, Lynn always hopes that he can use his ability to memorize theories in exchange for Marceline's amazing body coordination.

As for those elective courses... Because I often go to chat with Hagrid and get a lot of practical experience from him, the group of four has always had good grades in the course of Protection of Magical Creatures, but Marceline has been worried about the end of the semester. The exam would have them feed peppers to the salamanders who left the flames, due to Marceline's allergy to peppers.Muggle Studies and Arithmetic Divination were two subjects Lynn thought he was average at, but ancient runes were always handy.Although it is not as good as Croy, who is praised by the professor in every class, he can get high marks in every quiz without any effort.

A month later, the final exam finally came. Lynn did well in all her subjects, and she was lucky enough to get a satisfactory score in Defense Against the Dark Arts, which she was most worried about.And her history of magic and ancient runes even got full marks.This moved her up to eighth overall (ninth in freshman year, tenth in sophomore year).Among several friends, Lily won the first place in her grade this time, which severely slapped those blood theorists.Shan Kelin came in fourth, while Sirius slipped from first to fifth.Ever since he won the first place in the first grade but no one praised him, Sirius felt that there was really no need to work so hard for the score.If you have time, you might as well find more secret paths or practice more Animagus.Many students expressed their envy and hatred for Sirius' ability to be in the top five of the grade even though he was doing nothing.

*************

This summer vacation after the third grade belongs to the season of the Quidditch World Cup.Since the final was scheduled for September [-]st, Hogwarts even postponed the opening day for two days.

As a veteran Quidditch fan and the son of a Quidditch coach, James has watched all the Quidditch World Cup finals live since he was two years old, and this year is no exception.This time, he specifically asked Euphemia to get three more tickets for his three buddies early on.Unexpectedly, when things came to an end, the finals were scheduled for the night of the full moon, so Remus couldn't come, Peter's mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, so Peter couldn't come either.As for Sirius, James was most depressed.The conversation between Sirius and his brother in the auditorium was quickly spread to the Black couple through a letter from Narcissa Black, so he was locked up again this holiday.

In desperation, James gave two of the three tickets to Mary and her boyfriend Guspard, because he knew that Mary liked Quidditch very much.The last ticket was given to Lily by James, but when James' owl arrived at Lily's place, Lily happened to be with Snape, seeing James send the ticket to Lily, Snape's face immediately turned black , and even almost tore up the ticket, but was stopped by Lily.Lily said: "James is bad, but the ticket is innocent." So she sent the ticket to Lynn.

So, with James' sad eyes on his face, Lynn came to the final scene of the Quidditch World Cup.

In fact, Lynn likes Quidditch very much, but few people know this, mainly because Lynn himself really doesn't have any talent for Quidditch.Lynn's liking for Quidditch can be attributed to her extremely weird desire to trace back history.In the era of her previous life, there was no such sport as Quidditch.The broomstick of that time was just a thick, unpolished ash stick, knotty, with a few hazel twigs tied casually at one end. It flies forward at this speed; it does not rise, fall, or pause.So Lynn never wanted to touch it after riding it once.After being reborn, Lynn was extremely shocked when he heard for the first time that the broomstick had become a very popular means of transportation, and people even used it to play games.But after the shock, she felt very happy again.The development of the Muggle world is so fast. She has repeatedly felt the difference in the speed of social development between the Muggle world and the wizarding world. This flying broom is a rare, interesting and practical invention in the wizarding society.

This year's Quidditch World Cup was hosted by Canada, and the venue was arranged inside Niagara Falls.To Lynn, this is really a very stupid decision.Firstly, Niagara Falls has always been a famous tourist attraction for Muggles, and the possibility of wizards being exposed is too high if the venue is placed here; secondly, the roar of the waterfall is no joke. Putting the venue here means that at least dozens of wizards are responsible for silencing the roar.In order to limit the flow of people, this year's ICWQC (1) international director Royston Edwind made a foolish move. He ordered that all people except ICWQC officials be prohibited from bringing wands into the stadium.This move was disgusted and even resisted by many fans.

Lynn and Mary entered the camp with tickets given by James, and stayed in the Potter's tent.As soon as James' mother saw them, she took away their wands, and after a while, sent each of them a colorful tube.Before everyone asked curiously what it was, James explained first: "This thing is called a camouflage tube. My mother said that Edwind is the person in charge of the game. He doesn't let wizards bring their wands into the field. So I invented this thing. This is a new type of musical instrument, which can not only cheer for the supporting team, but also create smoke in the color of the national flag. But..." James lowered his voice, "Many wizards Put a Transfiguration Charm on your own wands and bring them into the ring as disguised tubes, my mother's is like that, but ours are real camouflaged tubes."

After the tent was set up, James' father Fremont took several children to buy souvenirs. Lynn was so dazzled by the dazzling array of souvenirs that he could hardly keep his eyes open.In the end, she bought two of the latest panoramic binoculars, one for James as a reward for him asking her to watch the game, and one for herself.Mary and Guspard also bought a pair of binoculars, Mary also bought a bunch of Madagascar's penguin mascots, and James bought a Syrian mascot - a statue of an eagle.This eagle can hover at a height of about 10 centimeters above the palm, holding a broomstick in its talons. Every three times it circles, it will also perform a classic Quidditch move.

"What kind of magic is this? It can make the eagle automatically fly in a predetermined direction. Even the flying speed is so uniform. I really want to have this kind of magic for my potion stirring stick, so that I won't always I blew up the cauldron because I forgot to stir it," Guspard said thoughtfully, looking at the mascot in James' hand.

The game started in the evening.What James' mother Euphemia bought this time was a first-class box ticket.However, as soon as they entered the box, Lynn and the others were stunned.Because they saw Regulus Black, a man and a woman stood behind him, obviously Sirius and Regulus' parents.Regulus narrowed his eyes when he saw James and Lynn.

"It's too much, the family went out to watch the game, leaving Sirius at home alone!" James lowered his voice, complaining to Lynn very resentfully.

Lynn watched the way the Blacks greeted Regulus, and thought of the scar on his arm that he accidentally saw when he and Sirius practiced Animagus last year, and his heart ached.

Because of this episode, Lynn was not in the mood to enjoy the game at all, and even when Royston Edwynd appeared in the top box afterwards, hundreds of wizards and wizards in the audience used their camouflage pipes to emit loud noises. The booing, and the hype about turning them back into their original wand forms didn't excite Lynn, nor did James.

As a result of the game, the Syrian team defeated the Madagascar team and won the championship 570-410.

At the same time, a big black dog as big as a bear appeared in No. 12 Grimmauld Place.

A day later, on the Hogwarts Express.

"Hey, according to what you said, you succeeded in transforming only two days ago, but I did it in early August~~" James laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.

"The Animagus of Sirius is a black dog, what is yours, James?" Peter asked curiously.

"A majestic stag!" said James proudly.

"Deer are herbivores, where can they be so majestic?" Sirius complained.

"Whoever says herbivores can't be majestic, and whoever dares to violate my territory, I'll poke it to death with my horns!" James said, arching his head in coordination, making a gesture of pushing the antlers.

"Ouch, James, take it easy, don't break your head."

"Sirius, you are just jealous that I succeeded earlier than you!"

"Who is jealous of you, believe it or not, I can bite you into a rabies attack with one bite?"

￥$#@^%*(*[email protected]#$%^……

Remus and Peter, who were used to Sirius and James hurting each other whenever they were free, laughed without saying a word.

The start-of-fourth-year dinner was no different from previous years, not even the headmaster announcing that their Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher had changed again.Their new professor is a weak-looking girl who seems to have just graduated, named Madeleine Louise.

"Professor Summerby taught well, why did he change again? There hasn't been a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher who can teach until the second year." James asked inexplicably.

"I heard that Professor Samobi disappeared. No one knows where he went. In fact, since you entered school, it has been nearly 20 years and no teacher has been able to persist for more than a year. The reason is that There are all kinds of things. Some were hospitalized due to spell accidents, some relatives were sick and resigned to take care of them, some provoked magical creatures that shouldn’t be provoked, and the most bizarre one was the one when I first entered the first grade, and the reason for resignation turned out to be him Our swallow-tailed dog suffered from depression due to the owner’s neglect of him over the past year, so he wants to quit his job and go home to be with the dog.” Stoji, a seventh-grade student, said to a group of curious pupils.

"You know the details! But what is depression?" Sirius interjected.

"I don't know, probably a mental illness of Muggles."

"But why? The class is almost cursed," Remus asked.

"Don't tell me, many people think that this class is cursed," Sturgis replied, "There are also students who have the courage to ask the professor, but none of the professors are willing to tell us the truth. In my first and second grades Back then, before you entered Hogwarts, I remember that a senior student named Scout wrote an article about the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts class and published it in the school newspaper. According to her research, this class has changed its teacher every year since Dumbledore became the headmaster."

"What is she trying to imply?" James asked, frowning.

"It's not clearly stated in the article, but I think she's trying to win headmaster Dumbledore's attention. Anyway, I don't like her very much. But I heard Dorcas mention that she was later admitted by the Daily Prophet because of that report. , is still a well-known reporter known for his spicy writing." Stoji said, as if thinking of something, he also frowned in disgust.

"So, we still don't know why this class is so exhausting for teachers," Sirius concluded.

"Yeah, I think the headmaster must have a terrible headache every year in order to recruit a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. When Madeleine took this job, my uncle and aunt strongly opposed it, but Madeleine insisted. Come."

"Madeleine? Your uncle and aunt? You know our new professor?" James asked in surprise.

"She is my cousin. Shortly after graduating from Beauxbatons four years ago, she developed a strange disease, with colorful rashes all over her body. In order to treat her illness, she has been traveling all over the world to seek medical treatment, and the new job she found is also very difficult. Lost it. It was not long ago that I ran into Principal Dumbledore and found out that her illness was caused by a failed transformation spell. After she recovered from her illness, she heard that the principal was troubled by the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so she volunteered. "

"It turns out that the illness is just right, no wonder it looks soft and weak." Peter interjected.

"Weak and weak?! Merlin, don't let her hear this. She has nothing to do with being weak. You will know how gentle Professor Summerby is compared to her after taking her class gone."

The group of four and some of the surrounding students listening to their discussion all opened their eyes wide, looking at Sturgis in disbelief.You know, Professor Summerby was regarded as a killer professor by them in the past.

With Sturgis' advance notice, all the students in Gryffindor were mentally prepared. Even so, when the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class was over, they all complained, not to mention It is said that several other colleges originally regarded Professor Louis as a weak little white flower student.In short, during the first month of school, apart from Sirius, there is no student who has not been repaired by Professor Madeleine Lewis.

"She is definitely in love with you! Why is it that you are the only one who is treated specially by her?" One night after the first month of school, James, who was helping Lynn and Peter practice Animagus in the Room of Requirement, took advantage of When everyone was resting together, they teased Sirius maliciously, but glanced at Lynn intentionally or unintentionally.

Lynn's face was paralyzed, and Sirius, who was drinking water, sprayed all the water in his mouth on Peter's face.

"Don't talk nonsense, she's a professor." Sirius responded in horror as he helped Peter clean the drool off his face.

"Come on, she doesn't look like the kind of person who follows the rules. Maybe she still wants to have a sensational teacher-student relationship with you. You might as well invite her to the Christmas ball in three months' time .” James continued to look at Lynn, who continued to be paralyzed.

"James, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. If you dare to joke about this, be careful that I will never help you write a love letter to Evans again!" Sirius said through gritted teeth.

"Love letter?! You wrote a love letter to Lily?! Why have I never heard Lily mention it? She is too mean to tell me." Lynn's paralyzed face immediately turned into a gossip face.

So James had a bitter face, and he would never have face in matters related to Lily.Angrily, he turned into a "prong", and suddenly used the antlers to arch Sirius. Sirius would not let James "bully", and immediately turned into "Padfoot", and "prongs" "The fight became a mess.

Lin En looked at the appearance of these two critters, and the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, remembering the first time he saw them deformed.She still remembered that she touched the big black dog's smooth and smooth fur enviously, and said fondly, "Sirius, if you have a chance, you must come to my house with me. With your interpreter, I can communicate with my family with a cold." ’” Then Sirius raised his eyebrows subtly.

But when James also turned into a stag, it was Lynn who raised his eyebrows subtly - Lynn didn't dare to tell James that Lily's favorite animal was a deer.She really didn't know that James would become an idiot when he met Lily. If he knew the news, would he do anything that would make Lily feel a psychological shadow on the deer from now on.
