"... Well, what the old man Slughorn thinks, I don't understand it at all! Is the reward given to the course definitely yours? Hermione?"

One day after school, at noon, in the Gryffindor common room, Ron was holding a book and lazily complaining while reading. Around the table where he was, Harry and Hermione were doing their own things.

"No one has reached the last minute, and no one knows the result. If you work harder, maybe the prizes belong to you ..." Hermione scribbled on the parchment paper without raising her head .

In fact, Ron didn't really care about the reward, because now, at least, he is still very clear about his ability. The students in the "good" potion class like him are lucky to be able to study in class. Right now he's not so much complaining as it is more appropriate to say nothing.

"Speaking of it, did you still win the prize ..." Ron flipped the page of the book in his hand and said casually, "But seriously, I really don't understand the old bald man. Think about it ... What did you say, 'The gift to the lady must not be too shabby' ... Isn't the prize just a potion? Is there anything shabby? "

"Maybe you want to pack it?" Harry folded the laptop on the table and stretched his arms. "I remember when Uncle Vernon gave Aunt Maggie some small gifts before, it seemed like I said the same thing?"

"In short, I have no interest anyway," Hermione stopped her pen and shook her feathers as a pen. "Didn't Professor Slughorn mention it in class? He said that in addition to not taking overdose, he should also take the elixir. There are some other side effects ... Since that's what Maca said, even if it's still unfounded, I think it's best not to touch it! "

"But if Slughorn later said it, I felt quite right--" Harry thought for a while. "Luck can't be measured in practice. There are no side effects of the elixir, and no one says no. clear."

"Then I won't go to the dessert tasting session hosted by Professor Slughorn tonight. Then you can help me find a reason!" Hermione turned to look at him, "The prizes are also for you, use Do n’t think about it yourself—I do n’t need it anyway, and I do n’t want to use it. ”

"No, no, Hermione ..." Harry reluctantly said, "I think you should take it this time! You didn't go there after the exam last semester ... It's not appropriate to make excuses twice. ? "

"I—" Hermione opened her mouth and looked down at the parchment before she reluctantly said, "Well ... I'll think about it, say it after dinner!"

...

Speaking of a small event organized by Slughorn, naturally, Maca will not be missed. Yes, he also received the invitation from the old man as usual, but it is still unknown whether he will be able to be present at that time.

At the moment in the Room of Requirement, the "werewolf statues" originally placed horizontally and vertically have been put together against the wall, but on the surface of the floor where they were originally, there are faint blue brilliance flowing. .

Here is where Maca studies rune maps and individual rule runes.

The room was still dim. This was for the purpose of excluding other unwanted visual disturbances and purely observing the array. Right now Maca was squatting in this large array, and her eyes were staring at the little regular rune floating in the center.

Around that spinning and floating rune, the ice crystals splattered lightly, and then slowly fell and disappeared, and every moment was exuding a clear beauty.

It was so careful and careful not to miss any momentary gaze, which lasted for several hours, and then Maca stood up and twisted her neck slightly. He is using his eyes and his ability to sense magic to observe the rule itself and its rune appearance at the same time.

Why does the ruled rune actually appear with such strokes? What special connection does this have to the meaning of the rules? If he can understand the connection between the two, his understanding of cool runes will probably be further advanced.

In this case, we may be able to realize another rule rune that is completely opposite to it. And even if it can't, this understanding of other rule runes is definitely very helpful, isn't it?

In fact, he has spent a lot of time on this.

After a short break, Maca leaned down again and squatted down, and continued to study the cool rune at the center of the map.

In fact, he deliberately chose to have no magic script days this afternoon, and planned to think about it. However, no matter how much time is available, for the study of regular runes, it seems that if they climb the peak of Manchuria, how can they be calculated by common sense?

In this silence, time seemed to pass slowly and quickly, disappearing silently between the fingers. When a "ding" suddenly sounded on the table deep in the room, Maca stood up straight and rubbed her face.

"... It's time to eat? Well ... So, it seems like I'm really hungry?"

He said, with a sudden wave of his hand, the ruled runes disappeared instantly, and the faint blue streamers on the floor disappeared without wind. As he headed straight for the doorway, the "werewolf statues" leaning against the wall also followed and floated up, each falling to its original position, covering up the rune map on the ground.

"Click-bang!"

The doorknob of the Room of Requirement was closed at will, and soon disappeared into the wall behind Maca.

"This kind of research is really time-consuming and laborious ... Ah!" As he strolled, he seemed to think of something crooked, "as if Slughorn's dessert would come tonight? Uh ... ... then temporarily postpone the research after dinner! The old man's network is quite useful ... "

Now that there are no more pressing crises, Maca is no longer as rushed as in the past. The road of magic is winding and long, but life is limited. Under the premise that it cannot be achieved overnight, it is also important to know how to enjoy life from time to time.

Once it's time for dinner, the auditorium in Hogwarts will become as lively as usual. Looking at the scene where the teachers and students are gathered together and enjoying the fun, everyone will feel a warmth rising in the bottom of my heart.

"... After observing this period, the class is obviously higher than the past, especially a few of them ..."

When Maca sat on the faculty seat, he heard Professor Little Fliwick talk to Professor McGonagall about his thoughts on the wizards. He also smiled when several familiar names appeared from each other's mouth.

Hermione and others were certainly one of several names that Flivi had specifically named, and Maca knew that the words he had said in the ward were playing a fitting role.

The near-conclusion of "Voldemort's resurrection" can bring a sense of crisis to everyone present at the time; and a suitable resurrection period can allow everyone to properly convert that sense of crisis into a driving force for progress. During the current safe transition period, they can improve steadily.

"Unfortunately, they can't actually sense the magic. Otherwise, the practical content of the magic text class can be deepened a lot ... It's really a pity ..."

He was thinking and enjoying the food tonight, and felt that such a life was really good.

"McLean, don't you forget my little event in a while? I really hope you will have time to come here. This time I asked Ambrose to make some new sweet varieties for me. Sell ​​it! "

Slughorn, who had a few seats across, suddenly poked his head, interrupting Maca's thoughts coldly. Maca didn't mind it at all, just nodded.

"Of course, I will pass ..." He smiled. "Several professors, aren't you going together?"

"Oh, I actually invited them too, but—"

"That's not appropriate," Flivi said in his sharp voice. "Slaghorn has invited a lot of students. If we guys all go, they will certainly be uncomfortable."

"Look!" Slughorn spread his hands, "Actually, I would like to say that the professor should be one with the students, which will be very helpful for teaching!"

"That's not necessarily true," as Snape said in a rare way when he heard the old man say, "I admit that you can get results in this way, but that doesn't mean everyone can use them. I want to see , Those students are usually too slack ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ it took only seven years to learn only a little bit. "

Marka couldn't help but grin to herself—obviously, it was difficult for Snape to deny Slughorn's ability. But his idea is completely different from that of the old man, so it will inevitably be unconvincing.

"That's right," Maca thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "I have a general understanding of the situation in the upper grades, but what about the new students this year? You know, my courses are elective subjects, but they are not big enough Understand! Can professors talk freely? "

His words made all the major professors recall it a bit, apparently comparing the freshmen in their hearts horizontally.

"Three students are fine," said Professor McGonagall. "In the first year, everyone is still in contact and adapting. This stage is the easiest to show the difference in talent. Sarah Hohenheim, Ravenclaw, Hunchpac's Ens Taun, and Gryffindor Alexander Wolfe-these children are all worth looking forward to. "

Having said that, McGondon paused, adding, "Of course, talent is not everything. Every student deserves our energy to guide them on the right path."
