The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

The elixir is to Ron what a huge diamond is to a girl.

It makes people salivate, and they want to rub it into their own flesh.

Although Ron is no longer poor by working in Link's factory, his character has not changed in any way.

Frugality and stinginess have been deeply ingrained in his bones.

This can be seen from the fact that he still uses old books passed down from his brothers.

So after getting Harry's permission to play with the Felixir, he completely fell into a state of madness.

I played with it during breaks and also played with it during meals.

It wasn't until the lunch break was over and it was approaching class that Ron put the elixir under his nose, took a deep breath and said:

"One day, I will get myself a bottle like this to try the feeling of being favored by the goddess of luck. It will be wonderful. By the way, Ernie seemed to say that Link always has a blessing elixir, and sometimes Take it out as a reward for the mini-game. Do you think it's still too late for me to transfer to Hufflepuff?"

As Ron spoke, he reluctantly handed the elixir back to Harry.

After hearing this, Harry didn't reply. He just walked behind Ron with a sad look on his face, as if he was full of thoughts.

"Oh! Merlin, are you still thinking about Hermione?"

Ron rolled his eyes and said, "It's okay, okay, you are right to listen to me. I have already asked Lavender and the others. Hermione only arrives during those few days of the month, so she feels a little irritable. .It’ll be fine after a few days.”

"What days of the month?"

"Don't you know? Every girl has it. Damn it, I forgot that you have no experience in dating girls. Well, why don't you go back and ask Sirius Black. I heard my mother say that when he was young, he was The heartthrob of Hogwarts, every girl dreams of being with him. He must have a lot of experience in this area!"

At this point, even though Harry was innocent, he somewhat understood what Ron was talking about.

This made him blush a little when he woke up.

At the same time, the two of them turned a corner and finally arrived outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. 33 novel network

Hermione and several other classmates were already standing in the corridor waiting early.

She was holding a pile of heavy books in her arms, looking like she had been abused.

Harry took a deep breath and wanted to go up and say hello.

But the next moment, the classroom door was suddenly opened.

Snape walked into the corridor. He was the same as before, with greasy black hair parted from both sides, framing his sallow face.

The originally noisy corridor fell silent in an instant.

Snape's cold gaze swept across everyone in the corridor and stayed on Harry for an extra long time.

He didn't speak, just stepped aside, and gave everyone a look of 'come in' without expression.

After being 'abused' by Snape for so many years, the surviving students naturally all have super-high ability to observe words and emotions.

Everyone saw this and quickly poured into the classroom.

Different from the Umbridge or Lupine period, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has a strong 'Snape' style.

There are some pictures on the walls here that were not there before. Many of the pictures are of suffering people, hideous wounds and bizarrely twisted body parts.

If there weren't all kinds of weird cauldrons and beakers here, and there weren't all kinds of inexplicable smells in the air, people who came in would have mistakenly thought that this was another Potions classroom.

But even though the decor is so unpleasant.

But Harry and the other students didn't feel anything was wrong after they sat down.

No one was even interested in taking a look at the patterns on the side.

The reason is simple, they have long been used to it.

Snape had been their Defense Against the Dark Arts substitute since the day Umbridge was kicked out last year.

After such a long period of 'torture', they adapted quite well.

When the last student trotted into the classroom, Snape closed the classroom door and strode toward the podium.

Following his steps, all the windows he passed automatically closed and the curtains tightened suddenly.

After he walked to the podium, the light in the entire classroom dimmed, leaving only the dim light from the candle.

"I have something to say to you, and I hope you will pay close attention." Snape said expressionlessly, "So far, you must have had five teachers in this course."

As soon as Snape finished speaking, a gloating smile appeared on Ron's lips.

Harry knew without guessing that Ron must be imagining that Snape was the next person to be cursed by this position.

"Needless to say, these teachers have their own teaching methods and teaching priorities." Snape continued, but his eyes were locked on Ron, which made the smile on Ron's face disappear instantly and turned into With a twisted look, "I think you all should be grateful to me. If I hadn't taken over this course in the second half of last year and brought them on the right path. I'm afraid most of you will be I missed the current NEWT advanced course!”

Snape stepped off the stage and walked around the classroom, speaking in a lower voice.

"The true essence of black magic is the magic power of the curse system. After various evolutions, the magic power of the curse system has been developed into various wonderful changes. They are either weird, or fierce, and ever-changing. In other words, what you are facing It is something unpredictable and indestructible.”

Harry stared at Snape, thinking that 'wonderful' was not the right word to describe dark magic.

This probably shows that Snape does not hate dark magic subconsciously, after all, he was a Death Eater before!

Harry speculated viciously.

"Therefore, your defense," Snape said, slightly raising his voice, "must be as flexible as black magic, and silent spells are a good way to deal with them! So what we are going to learn today is silent spells! Now, you are divided into two people, and one of you tries to cast a curse on the other, but is not allowed to say it aloud. The other person tries to repel the curse, also without saying a word. Let's begin."

After Snape finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked embarrassed. They had finally divided into groups and had no intention of taking the next step.

This made Snape feel a little dissatisfied and said:

"What? Don't any of you know the silent spell?"

Snape's question was obviously an insult, but upon hearing this, Hermione immediately raised her hand.

This stunned Snape for a moment.

He looked around and finally nodded:

"Miss Granger?"

"Silent spells, as the name suggests, cast spells in silence. Its advantage is that your opponent doesn't know what magic you plan to cast," Hermione said. "This gives you a momentary advantage."

"That's correct, but do you really know how to cast the silent spell?"

"To successfully cast the silent spell, you need strong concentration and willpower."

"These answers of yours are copied exactly from "Standard Spells: Level [-]"," Snape said contemptuously. "I believe that even you yourself can't understand the meaning of this passage, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Hermione's expression instantly darkened.

Because she really didn't know.

The textbooks used by Hogwarts are actually not complete. Many knowledge points in them are only briefly mentioned, and they cannot truly and completely guide students to learn magic.

This is why Hermione is so obsessed with libraries.

In addition to being narrated by professors, this missing content can only be filled in through other books.

"Oh, poor Miss Know-It-All, she can only study blindly and rigidly. As everyone knows, although this can give you short-term good results, it will not make you a truly outstanding wizard. After all, as a wizard, you need It’s not just hard work and hard work, but more importantly, talent!”

Snape said gloomily, "Take the silent spell as an example. The reason why it requires the caster to have strong willpower and concentration is because it essentially skips the guidance process of reciting the spell. In the absence of After this process, the release of magic is missing a piece of guidance. And this missing piece requires you to use your own willpower to mobilize and guide it. Do you understand it now?"

"What do you mean by guiding and mobilizing?" Hermione said with a blush, "You didn't even explain clearly what we should do!"

Snape glanced at Hermione sideways and disdainfully and said:

"I have made it very clear. To guide is to guide, and to mobilize is to mobilize. Both of these are verbs. As I said, talent is very important to magic, and silent spells are especially important in this regard. You can't understand it because you don't have enough talent. If it were Link Foley, he should have understood how to do it long before I said that the silent spell requires willpower and concentration! What? Are you still not convinced?"

Snape looked at Hermione's clenched fists and couldn't help but sneered, "Then try it yourself! I know that you have all been trained by the DA army, so the armor protection spells and ordinary attack spells are also You don’t need me to teach you, right? Let’s all start practicing and try to see if we have any talent!”

Following Snape's order, the students who had been divided into groups immediately began to move.

But as Snape said, silent spells do require talent.

In fact, the vast majority of people present did not understand the mystery at all.

In other words, they don't care at all whether they can learn the silent spell.

After all, just having Snape as a professor was bad enough.

With Snape's presence, their minds were not focused on such a difficult subject as the Silent Curse.

Ever since, a lot of cheating has appeared.

Many students were chanting incantations quietly without amplifying their voices.

The only person present who was still trying hard was Hermione.

She and Neville stood opposite each other, holding up their wands to each other, allowing Neville to cast silent curses on her, while she suppressed her face with a red face and closed her mouth tightly, for fear that she would not be able to resist the temptation and whispered softly. Cast a spell.

Harry could feel a deep discomfort just looking at this look.

After all, chanting the incantation when releasing the spell has become their instinctive reaction.

Especially after being trained by the DA Army, this instinctive reaction was further strengthened.

But now, Hermione was forcibly reversing her instincts.

The most critical point is that as Hermione became more and more nervous, she never succeeded in releasing the silent spell.

Seeing her getting weaker and weaker due to frequent mobilization of mental power, Harry and Ron both couldn't bear to persuade her:

"Hermione, forget it, it doesn't matter if you can't learn it. You don't need to torture yourself like this."

"Get away! Harry!"

Hermione gasped and snapped, "I can learn it, I promise! You have no idea what this means to me!"

As Hermione spoke, she glanced in the direction of the podium and saw Snape looking at her with a sarcastic look that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. This made her become even crazier and said:

"Neville, keep going!"

"Well, Hermione, if you still want."

Neville said helplessly and raised his wand again.

Perhaps in order to better mobilize the magic power, he even closed his eyes this time.

To be honest, Harry felt that Neville's current appearance was a bit artificial.

After practicing by now, everyone present should know that silent spells are simply not something they can learn now.

Probably only a true super genius like Link could master the Silent Spell to perfection while still a student.

As for them.

The reason why Snape brought out the Silent Curse was most likely just to torture them.

With this in mind, he sighed and prepared to wait until Neville failed to cast another spell before continuing to persuade the two of them.

However, at this moment, a scarlet light burst out from the tip of Neville's staff without any warning.

This light condensed quickly, charged up in less than 1 second, and shot towards Hermione.

This scene shocked everyone present.

Hermione opened her mouth in surprise.

She never imagined that Neville could succeed so easily in the silent spell that she had tried so many times but failed to master!

At the critical moment, Ron was the first to react.

He jumped up suddenly and raised his wand.

"Armor protection!"

The pale blue shield flashed away, and the scarlet beam of light, which was not too thick, was instantly bounced back, hitting Neville hard and knocking the wand out of his hand.

It was now clear to Harry that Neville had cast a disarming spell.

Being directly hit by a disarming spell will not only disarm the person, but also cause tremendous pain in the hand, making the person hit unable to attack again for a short period of time.

But now Neville couldn't care less about the pain in his palms.

He didn't even pick up the dropped wand, he just looked at his hand in disbelief.

"I...I actually succeeded?"

Neville stammered, his tone sounding a bit like the doormat he used to be.

But on the corner of his mouth, an ecstatic smile spread crazily.

"how can that be!"

Hermione screamed loudly, and after saying that, she may have realized that what she said was offensive to Neville, and quickly changed her words, "Oh no, Neville, you know I didn't mean that, I meant..."

Neville didn't notice what Hermione was saying.

At this moment, he was probably completely carried away by the ecstasy of success. He actually waved the arm that had just successfully cast the spell and shouted to Snape:

"Professor Snape, I succeeded! I actually succeeded!"

"Oh! That's really good. Although it took so many attempts to succeed, it is enough to show that you have some talent. At least..." Snape slowly walked down from the podium and said, At the same time, he glanced at Hermione sarcastically, "Much better than some people who study hard. Then, 10 points for Neville Longbottom."

"Great!"

Neville was so excited that he almost jumped up.

You must know that as a Gryffindor, it is simply more difficult to get extra points from Snape.

But before he could be happy for a long time, he heard Snape continue to say:

"However, Mr. Ron Weasley, I remember I once said that you are not allowed to recite the curse out loud, right? It's obvious that you didn't take my words to heart. 10 points deducted!"

Neville's cheers stopped abruptly.

Ron on the side also roared:

"No, that's not fair. Didn't you see that the curse just now almost hit Hermione? I was just protecting my classmates. Not to mention deducting points, you should also give me extra points!"

Harry agreed with Ron's words from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't think Ron should say these words on this occasion.

You must know that Hermione has already entered autistic state because of Neville's success.

And Ron's words undoubtedly stabbed her heart again.

How could Hermione, who had always been so proud, endure this?

Looking at Hermione who was looking down silently and seemingly sobbing, Harry felt extremely complicated.

But Snape didn't care that much.

He continued:

"It's just a disarming curse, not a killing curse. So what if Miss Granger is hit? Will she die? Mr. Weasley, I know exactly what you think. But I am not here to let you be a little girl. A place to show off in front of you! If you contradict the professor, Ron Weasley will deduct 5 points!"

Ron wanted to say something else, but Snape said first:

"Besides, Ron Weasley, I think your progress is too slow. So, let me show you."

As he spoke, Snape had already drawn out his wand.

This made Ron's complexion change drastically.

Snape was obviously avenging his personal vendetta. If he were to attack him, let alone being injured, he would inevitably make a fool of himself in public.

"Stop it, Professor Snape, let me take Ron's place!"

Harry suddenly pushed Ron away and said loudly.

Ron's eyes turned red when he saw this scene. Harry was undoubtedly his best friend.

But how could he bear to let his friends suffer for him?

He pushed Harry hard, trying to stop him, but Harry didn't know where the strength came from, and no matter how hard Ron tried, he couldn't move an inch.

Snape, who was not far away from them, saw an imperceptible excitement on his face when he saw this. The corners of his mouth raised slightly and he said:

"That would be better!"

After that, he didn't care that Harry was still entangled with Ron, and pointed the wand directly at Harry.

Snape actually attacked secretly?

This is obviously something that no one could have imagined.

Looking at the dazzling magic spell, Harry's eyes suddenly shrank into a round dot.

hum-

The familiar cold feeling appeared in Harry's brain again.

Driven by that cold feeling, Harry suddenly felt a strange feeling.

At this moment, he is omnipotent!

This is his talent!
