Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

On the first day of the semester, Amon received his course schedule while eating breakfast.

At 9 a.m., he would start his first lesson at Hogwarts.

The first class in Ravenclaw was Potions. After breakfast, the little wizards in Ravenclaw headed to the underground Potions classroom full of longing.

Taking Potions class with Ravenclaw was Hufflepuff.

When they entered the classroom together, they saw glass bottles covering the walls.

The animal specimens soaked inside made the little wizards tremble.

They immediately changed their posture and walked into the classroom cautiously.

Suddenly, a cold feeling hit every little wizard's body, as if he had walked into a snake's lair.

The classroom is very large, including various equipment and shelves, enough to accommodate more than 20 little wizards.

But now the little wizards are inexplicably frightened and have no interest in admiring the classroom.

boom!

As soon as the class time arrived, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open.

Professor Snape was wearing a flowing black robe, like a huge bat followed by billowing black clouds, and finally landed in front of the blackboard, looking down at the little wizards.

His lips were upturned, and his greasy shoulder-length hair stuck to his face like a curtain. Under the glance of his deep black eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, all the little wizards instantly lowered their heads and trembled.

In the blink of an eye, the huge classroom became silent.

But when Snape glanced at Amon, he saw Amon pushing up his monocle and greeting him with a smile.

He took a deep look at Amon, especially the monocle on Amon's right eye, and then quickly looked away.

"Hopefully no idiot will miss the first class of school."

Snape's voice was slow and gloomy, with a hint of sarcasm, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity. No one knew what would happen if he caught the opportunity.

Snape quickly took out the roster and called the names. After the names were called, the class officially started.

"Very good. It seems that neither the guy who thinks he is smart nor the guy who looks stupid is hopelessly stupid."

At this time, the classroom was already audible, and even if Snape's voice was not loud, every little wizard could hear it clearly.

"...I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death... provided that you are not a pretentious idiot who likes to be watched!"

Snape looked at the young wizards who were all silent and completely lost the energy they had before class. Suddenly, he called on them:

"Amon Nott!"

Amon stood up calmly and responded:

"professor."

"What is Ariot's role?"

"Ariot's leaves can induce hysteria and uncontrollable laughter."

"Thus, chopped ariote leaves are the raw material for making laughter potions."

"And the honey produced by the heartbreak bug is the antidote to Ariot leaves, which can dispel the magical effects of Ariot leaves, Professor."

"Okay, I didn't ask you about its antidote, so don't show off your shallow knowledge in front of me!"

"Okay, Professor." Amon followed suit.

Amon's well-behaved look seemed to choke Snape. He snorted coldly and continued to ask:

"Since you just mentioned the laughter potion, what are the consequences if it is not brewed properly?"

"Causes hysterical mania or irrepressible sadness, Professor."

"What should you pay attention to when using Motella rat antennal juice for treatment?"

"It should be filtered first, Professor."

Snape and Amon's quick questions and answers stunned the little wizards below.

After asking a few more questions, Snape finally stopped expressionlessly, and then quickly changed the direction of the ultrasound emission:

"You also know the answers to these questions? Why don't you write them down!"

Suddenly, the classroom was filled with the rustle of parchment being turned and quills writing.

In this way, the little wizards of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had a Potions class that was not a good one, it could even be called a nightmare.

Next, Ravenclaw has a history of magic class. Compared with today's Transfiguration and Charms class in Gryffindor next door, just thinking about it makes the little wizard feel paralyzed!

……

In the afternoon, during the History of Magic class, Professor Binns's breathy and drawl-like lecture style lived up to expectations and made the young wizards who had heard of it fall asleep - except for Amon, who was reading a book.

After the day's class ended, Amon disappeared.

He came to the potion making room in the Room of Requirement, took out the invisible books he took from the invisible book area last night, and started reading.

He didn't leave until nearly the 10 o'clock curfew time.

When he returned to the dormitory, he couldn't help but receive questions from his roommates, to which Amon just smiled and replied that he was going to read a book.

In the early morning, at about the same time, Amon opened his eyes, put on his monocle, took his wand, cast a silent spell, and drank the potion all at once, exactly like the reenactment of last night.

He came to the library on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle again, but this time he did not go to the invisible book area, but found several alchemy-related books;

We then came to the back of the library, which was separated from the ordinary book area by a rope. It was the famous forbidden book area.

Amon wandered inside for a long time, until he felt that time was almost up, and then he went to the Room of Requirement and placed all the books there.

……

The second day of the semester, the first class, Transfiguration.

"Very well, Mr. Nott! Five points to Ravenclaw!"

Professor McGonagall's rising voice attracted the attention of all the little wizards.

I saw Professor McGonagall raising a silver needle to signal to the little wizards.

"Mr. Nott showed us a perfect transformation!"

After class.

"Nott!" Professor McGonagall stopped Amon as he was about to leave the classroom.

Amon turned around and came to Professor McGonagall. She seemed much gentler than in class. He heard her ask:

"Mr. Nott, I wonder if you are interested in transfiguration?"

Amon sincerely praised:

"Of course, Professor, transfiguration is an extremely elegant magic. Of course I'm interested."

"very good!"

Professor McGonagall was very impressed by Amon's words. She added:

"What I mean is, Mr. Nott, if your grades in Transfiguration class this semester can reach 'O' (Outstanding - Excellent), I will be happy to invite you to join the 'Transfiguration Club' I established, and we will Some high-end transformation techniques will be discussed in it.”

"Then I will feel very honored, Professor, I promise you." Amon smiled and replied confidently.

Professor McGonagall also smiled, looking satisfied with the answer.

"Okay, let's go to the restaurant to eat."

"Good afternoon, Professor." Amon bowed and said goodbye.

……

The herbal medicine class in the afternoon was not difficult for Amon. After all, as an excellent pharmacist apprentice, understanding and utilizing different types of magical plants is a basic skill, at least that's what he thought.

In the evening, Amon came to the tallest astronomy tower in the castle and took a lesson that was very important to him - astronomy.

Astronomy is the magical study of the paths of stars and planets.

You don't need to use any practical magic in this course, just memorize the names of stars, constellations, and planets, learn their positions and movements, and understand the environment on these planets or moons.

Therefore, this course is also rated as a fishy course by the little wizard as the History of Magic course.

But astronomy had an entirely different meaning to Amon—he had never developed his gift of sight before.

On the one hand, he has no more energy to learn about astrology and divination;

On the other hand, just as it is best for little wizards not to use magic before they are 11 years old, magic talent awakens around the age of three. It is not until the age of 11 that it becomes initially stable and can be developed and controlled by little wizards.

However, the ritual he conceived relied on this special talent to a certain extent, so it was necessary to understand and master it in advance.

In the first astronomy class, Professor Aurora Sinister mainly taught the young wizards how to use telescopes to observe the starry sky, and then briefly introduced the names of some stars and the trajectories of planets.

Although the little wizards regard this course and the History of Magic course as water courses, there are still some differences——

For example, in the History of Magic class, they slept to pass the time, and in the Astronomy class, they watched the stars while waiting for get out of class to end. At least they wouldn't get bored in a short period of time.

Amon also gained a lot. Professor Sinistra took good care of him during the journey, told him all about his problems, and recommended many book titles to him.

At the same time, after class, Professor Sinistra also made the same promise as Professor McGonagall, except that Professor Sinistra's club is the "Astronomy Club".

After going to bed, early in the morning...

……

On the third day of term, the first-year Ravenclaw wizards finally had their long-awaited Charms class.

The little wizards walked into the classroom and excitedly greeted Professor Flitwick, who had been standing on the pile of books next to the podium.

Professor Flitwick also responded kindly to every young wizard, regardless of whether he or she was from Ravenclaw House or not.

When the bell rang, Professor Flitwick waved his wand, and a burst of bright sparks burst out from the tip of his wand, instantly catching the attention of all the little wizards.

"As you can see, spells are the key for wizards to release magic, which can make something achieve the effect we want."

"The successful use of a spell requires four basic conditions: specific wand movements, the correct incantation, the caster's subjective awareness of the spell's effect, and a certain degree of concentration on the part of the caster."

"In the textbooks, you will find how to wave the wand and the exact pronunciation of the spell, but what I want to tell you is that sometimes the latter two are more critical!"

"So, gentlemen and ladies, please follow me closely, I will take you to appreciate the mystery of the curse and show you the beauty of the curse. Don't get distracted, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"Now, open the textbook and let's learn the first spell..."

This is the value of Hogwarts. The professors here are all masters in their respective fields. A unique introduction may solve the problem that has troubled him for a long time. Amon adjusted his monocle and sighed in his heart.

However, it is also very fulfilling to rely on your own wisdom to solve puzzles, and the feeling of enlightenment is extremely precious, and can even be regarded as a kind of magical magic.

Amon suddenly took out his magic wand, waved it at the feathers on the table, and recited a spell:

"WingardiumLeviosa! (Floating)"

The feathers immediately began to float.

"Very good, Mr. Nott has done it! Five points for Ravenclaw!" Professor Flitwick screamed excitedly.

Amon greeted him with a smile, and then immersed himself in his own world again.
