Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"How did you two discuss it?" he asked, "About the trials, is there any result?"

After receiving the captain's badge, Harry internalized a few people, basically planning to keep the lineup from last term.But the students are very enthusiastic about Quidditch. The number of people who have signed up for the selection competition has already surpassed that of last semester, and many of them are here for Harry. The question now is, what should these people do?

"We met Katie Bell when we came back, and she suggested that we have tryouts, let everyone participate, and select strictly." Harry said, "She said that there used to be some very good teams, because the captain always let the familiar He played with his face, let his friends join the team, and ended up ruining a good team..."

Ron was a little uncomfortable, and he didn't have much confidence in trying again.

During the last selection, he was still at a loss and didn't know how to get here. Maybe it was because the broom was better, or maybe it was because of the situation in the school at that time, many students were not interested in joining the Quidditch team.In short, he is not fully sure about re-running the trials, and his performance has not been stable.

Sometimes it can be good, most of the time it can be bad.

But he couldn't refute it, because Katie's suggestion was very reasonable...

At lunch, Harry called together the team from last term for a meeting.

He said that he was going to organize the selection and that everyone had to participate in it. Everyone thought his decision was right.

Finally, tryouts are scheduled for this Saturday morning.

The current number of participants is nearly 40, and Harry plans to spend a full day.

If it continues to increase, it may take two days.

Many people's minds have already flown to Quidditch, but the reality is that the first class in the afternoon of the sixth grade is Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts, which is also the first class after he became the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. class.

Regarding Defense Against the Dark Arts this semester, the students were generally quite nervous, not knowing what he would teach.It is certain that it should not be as easy as before.During Lupin's teaching, Snape had previously served as a defense against the dark arts class, and the students more or less got a taste of his style.

Whether it's how a werewolf is identified in school, or Defense Against the Dark Arts is taught outside the textbook, or...

Snape always had his own ideas, he never followed the schedule of the book.

In fact, he had no textbook assigned at all this semester.

After lunch, the students who wanted to take Defense Against the Dark Arts lined up outside the classroom on the third floor in twos and threes.

This dimly lit hallway is filled with so many memories, not so good.

"Do you know? I now feel that it might be right not to choose Defense Against the Dark Arts like Ron did." Harry said, following Ivan and Hermione to the outside of the classroom, "I have a bad feeling."

"You mean, he's going to give us a bunch of homework?"

"No, I mean..."

Before Harry could finish speaking, the classroom door opened and Snape walked into the corridor.

He was the same as before, with greasy black hair parted from both sides, framing the sallow face, and the team immediately fell silent.

"Come in," he said.

The students lined up to enter the classroom, and the inside changed drastically.

Snape had branded his own personality into this classroom, the curtains were drawn tightly, the light dimmed only by the dim light of candles, the walls were pasted with pictures that hadn't been seen before, many pictures It is full of people in pain, horrific wounds and bizarre twisted body parts.

Interesting, was Snape actually going to teach them the Dark Arts?

Because of these eerie pictures, the classroom was extraordinarily quiet, and the students silently found their seats and sat down.

"I have something to tell you, and I hope you will pay close attention." Snape walked to the center of the podium, his black eyes scanning the upturned faces, "You must be well aware that so far, this You must have changed eight teachers for this course. Needless to say, these teachers all have their own teaching methods and teaching priorities. In this chaotic situation, I am surprised that so many of you have barely passed this course. OWLs in one class. I would be even more amazed if you all followed up with the Advanced Class because it's much more advanced."

Snape stepped off the podium and walked around the room, speaking in a lower voice.

In order to be able to see him, the students stretched their necks one by one.

"Dark magic!" said Snape. "There are so many varieties, so many kinds, so many variations, so endless. Wrestling with them is like wrestling with a monster with many heads. No sooner has one head been cut off than a new one pops up." , more vicious and cunning than the original one. You are dealing with something unpredictable and indestructible."

This is really a novel explanation, Ivan has never heard of it before.

According to Snape, although he was saying that black magic is dangerous, everyone needs to pay more attention to it.

But his tone is full of love and admiration for black magic, encouraging everyone to understand and learn black magic.

Chapter 1293 Demonstration of the Silent Spell

It is undeniable that Snape's views on the Dark Arts are much deeper than Umbridge's scripted ones.

Those who do not have a certain understanding of black magic cannot say these words.

But his tone and the meaning hidden in his words are very unpleasant, and he faintly admires black magic.

Only the Slytherins showed obvious interest on their faces, and Malfoy stared at Snape with interest.

It looked like he wasn't going to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts next, but the real Dark Arts.

"Therefore, your defense must be as flexible and innovative as the black magic you need to deal with. These pictures are relatively common black magic." Snape pointed to some of them while walking, and slightly raised the volume "They vividly portrayed the conditions of those victims, and it was Cruciatus," he said.

As he spoke, he pointed at a witch who was clearly screaming in pain.

"And this, feeling the dementor's kiss."

A wizard curled up in a corner, his eyes lost.

"Or be invaded by a corpse."

On the screen, there is only a pool of blood on the ground, and behind the blood is a blurred shadow.

"Professor, have people really seen Inferi?" Parvati Patil asked in a shrill voice, staring at the pool of blood and the dark shadow on the screen, "Is he really using Infernal corpse?"

Aiwen touched the locket on his neck, Parvati should go to that cave to see it.

Then, he would not ask such questions.

"The Inferi is a very common dark creature. It is useful and cruel enough. Many dark wizards have created it, and the Dark Lord has used the Inferi in the past." Snape said, "This means that we should assume that he is still Will use them again, well..."

He walked around the other side of the room towards the podium, his black robes flapping behind him.

The eyes of the whole class followed him again, and there was a trace of curiosity in the tense atmosphere.

"I suppose you are quite new to the use of silent spells. Now, who can tell me what good silent spells are?"

Hermione immediately raised her hand, and Snape took his time to scan the class.

Seeing that there was no other choice, he said bluntly, "Very well, Miss Granger?"

"The opponent doesn't know what spell you're going to cast," said Hermione. "That gives you a split-second advantage."

"This answer is copied verbatim from Standard Spells, Grade Six," Snape said contemptuously. "No personal opinion, but basically correct. Yes, spells are cast without saying them aloud." Come out, you can achieve a surprise effect. Of course, not all wizards can do this. It requires a lot of concentration and willpower, and some people don't have it."

But his voice got lower and lower, and when he finished speaking, his eyes stayed on Harry's face.

Ivan finally knew why Harry didn't like Snape's class, because Snape made no secret of his contempt and provocation towards Harry. This was the first time he attended Snape's class with Harry. Although I have heard it many times, it is not as strong as seeing it in person.

And the Slytherins sneered softly, cooperating with Snape's provocation, which made people's blood surge.

Beside Ivan, Harry's reaction was also very strong.

He refused to lower his eyes, as if Snape hadn't said anything, but glared at Snape.

The class looked at both of them until Snape finally looked away.

"They often do this!" Hermione explained to Ivan in a low voice.

As long as Harry was around, the atmosphere in Snape's classroom was just this weird.

"Now you split into teams of two," continued Snape, looking away from Harry. "One tries to cast a jinx on the other, but is not allowed to say it aloud. The other tries to repel that." The curse, also must not make a sound, let's start."

Ivan and Hermione formed a group, and because Ron was away, Harry and Neville formed a group.

The silent spell is a magic that is only learned in the sixth grade, one of the signs of NEWTs level.

Only those trained wizards can use spells skillfully and silently.

Ai Wen started studying in the third grade, and has basically mastered it by now, but he is not yet proficient.

He also asked the members to learn this technique at the DA event last year.The effect is not very satisfactory. Everyone thinks that the silent spell is difficult, and they give up after practicing it. Instead of being in a daze, it is better to use the time to practice silent casting to learn a few more defensive spells.

In the end, only Hermione persisted.

As you can imagine, a lot of cheating followed.

Many students were chanting mantras in low voices, they just didn't amplify their voices.

Snape walked among the students dragging his robes like a gigantic bat.

There was a buzzing sound in the classroom, and as soon as Snape approached, they stopped and blushed.

When the class reached 10 minutes, Hermione had made it.

Without saying a word, she cast a leg-locking spell on Xiang, and Ivan waved his wand, successfully defending against her magic.

But Snape pretended he didn't see it. As before, he deliberately stayed away from Ivan and Hermione, but deliberately stopped to watch Harry and Neville's practice.

Snape was getting too close, and Neville was visibly tense. He probably never expected to take Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class again.

Probably because of being able to strictly implement the review plan formulated by Hermione, Neville's OwLs results were beyond imagination.

Only his Transfiguration was not ideal, and the rest, including potions, had achieved good results.Compared with Harry and Ron, Neville almost studied without any distractions. He didn't participate in any club activities, didn't have a girlfriend, and didn't have such inexplicable things as the savior to save the world waiting for him.

Although he was very forgetful, Neville was able to calm down and study hard like a candidate who was really preparing for the exam.

Therefore, he has no reason to fail the exam...

A good result in the test meant that he could continue to accept Snape's "torture". He pointed his wand at Harry with a painful expression on his face.

Harry, too, held his wand in fear, waiting to knock back a spell that seemed never to be cast.

Snape watched for a while, and soon lost his patience.

"Too bad, Longbottom!" he said. "You'll never be able to conjure a single pitiful magic at this rate, and you'll just suffocate yourself. Step aside, and let me show you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pulled out his wand and pointed it at Harry.

Responding instinctively, Harry, forgetting all about the silent spell, yelled, "Armor for protection!"

His Iron Armor Charm was so powerful that Snape was knocked off balance and smashed against a table.

Amid the crashing sound, the whole class turned their heads.

They saw Snape struggling to keep his feet, scowling...

Chapter 1294 Conditioning Reflex

Harry's behavior was like dropping a drop of cold water into boiling oil.

The students suddenly became excited, and the classroom was full of chirping discussions, which became louder and louder.

Everyone is guessing that Harry did this premeditatedly?

Or because he guessed that Snape was going to attack him with a jinx, he cast the Iron Armor Curse to protect himself without a brain reaction?

To use a Muggle term to describe it, that is, is he doing this as a conditioned reflex?

If it's the latter, it's justifiable, as is often the case with magic.

But if it's the former, then Harry's courage is really extraordinary, and Snape's face is gloomy and terrifying now.

"Potter, do you remember when I told you we were practicing silent spells?"

"Yeah," Harry said stiffly.

"Remember, sir," Snape reminded.

"Don't call me 'sir,' Professor."

quiet!

Quiet! !

Quiet! ! !

If it was said that a drop of cold water was poured into the boiling oil just now, it is pouring a basin of water into it now.

The beeping hot oil cooled down instantly.

As soon as Harry finished speaking, the classroom suddenly became unimaginably quiet.

No one spoke, and no one guessed or discussed. The nature of the matter seemed to be clear.

Many students, including Hermione, gasped in surprise.

Harry is challenging Snape's authority, very brave, but no matter how you look at it, he is courting death...

Ivan sighed, he thought Harry was too reckless.

He knew that last semester, the two had ended up having a bad fight over the teaching of Occlumency.
