Hogwarts, where the stars shine

After the thrilling trip to the Forbidden Forest, Mesa gained a lot. Not only did he get the venom of the Acromantula, he also learned that something big might happen to the school this year.

Of course, Mesa himself didn't really want to know about the big things that were going to happen at the school.

The more inside information you know and the earlier you know it, the less safe you will be. You may be discovered at any time and be passively involved in the conspiracy.

Because of this, Mesa did not show too much concern about this matter and did not pester the centaurs to ask the truth.

Regarding Professor Mikkelsen who appears in his nightmare, Mesa can only summarize it as "thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night."

There is nothing that can be done about it. Steele Martin's example is not far away. If something big is going to happen in the school, it will be difficult for Mesa not to doubt the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

And this new Professor Mikkelsen is not a good person.Someone who dares to plot a coup in the Ministry of Magic and still escapes unscathed after the failure. If such a person wants to cause trouble at Hogwarts, it will definitely be an unprecedented big scene.

But judging from his performance so far, it seems that Professor Mikkelsen is really just here to make use of the remaining heat.His performance was not worthy of his face, let alone his huge reputation.

Although during class, Professor Mikkelsen was very strict and exposed the dark side of the world to his students.But in his spare time, his behavior was completely inconsistent with his sinister appearance.

Every day before breakfast and after dinner, students see Mikkelsen walking the grounds.If you give him a bird cage and a pair of walnuts, Mikkelsen will be no different from the old man in the park.

Now John Mikkelsen seems to have lost the edge of his youth and has become a kind old man who carries a cage and rubs walnuts.Only when teaching students and talking about the cruelty of dark wizards, would he reveal his former prowess.

So, time is a butcher's knife?

In the following days, as the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest failed to stir up waves, and the disaster predicted by the bright Mars did not occur, Hogwarts entered October calmly.

During this period, Mesa also started the second stage of making the Polyjuice Potion under the guidance of Professor Snape (Vicious Tongue).

The first thing you need to do is to add the mashed African tree snake skin and the bicorn horn ground into fine powder into the crucible, heat it at high temperature for 20 seconds, then wave the wand to let the potion continue to brew for 18 hours.

After completing this step, add the lacewings to the crucible and stir three times counterclockwise.What follows is an even longer wait.

After a long wait of 21 days, Mesa's polyjuice potion was finally made.The polyjuice potion bubbled lazily and looked like dark, sticky mud, clean and hygienic.

When using Polyjuice Potion, just add a little bit of the person you want to be.It can be that person's hair or skin, as long as it's from that person's body.

After a strict inspection, Professor Snape gave an "A" evaluation. He was not satisfied with the effect of this pot of polyjuice potion.

Mesa's polyjuice potion can only last about 4 hours for transformation.Mesa's work is still a long way from its most effective 12 hours.

After finishing brewing the polyjuice potion, Mesa was temporarily liberated.At least Mesa was free until Professor Snape was ready for the next lesson.

But there was another problem before Mesa that he urgently needed to find a solution to.

Acromantula venom and the secretly left polyjuice potion. If he wants to cash in these two things as soon as possible, Mesa needs to be able to get out of school and meet Hope Edmund.

The school's owl postman was not at all on Mesa's radar.If the owl is inspected or intercepted, or if Hope Edmund wants to take advantage of the situation, she bites him to death and says that he did not receive the owl...

Isn’t Mesa working in vain?

Therefore, it is better to deal with Hope Edmund face to face.

This meant that Mesa needed to find a way to get out of school safely, at least to Hogsmeade.Hope Edmund can't get into Hogwarts, but the wizarding village still does.

If Mesa really couldn't find a way, then he would have to wait patiently until Christmas vacation, or take Polyjuice Potion and disguise himself as a senior student.

However, of these two methods, one took too long and the other was a bit wasteful, so Mesa was not very satisfied.

It would be great if he was in third grade, so he could enter Hogsmeade on weekends designated by the school, Mesa thought.

There's no way, who makes Mesa only a sophomore this year?If he had been born a year earlier, the problem of how to leave school would naturally be solved.

This is why children always look forward to growing up. Age has too many restrictions on them.You can't go to Hogsmeade, you can't cast spells outside the school, you can't learn Apparition, etc.

These age-related restrictions often make children ignore the beauty around them and only want to grow up as soon as possible.

Since October, Mesa has begun looking for a secret passage leading outside the school.During the day when there was no class, Mesa wandered around the castle, looking for suspicious places; at night, Mesa stayed in the common room, looking for manuscripts left by his predecessors.

Unfortunately, the several suspicious locations found by Mesa did not lead to the outside of the school, but were only passages inside the castle.No wonder Filch could always pop up in front of students who made mistakes like a ghost.

As for the manuscripts left by the Slytherin seniors, Mesa also found nothing.Probably no one thought this kind of thing was worth recording, so no relevant content appeared.

This morning, Mesa and Lilia walked into the library.

Compared with the noisy common room, the library is more suitable for studying in peace, as long as you don't drip ink on the books.

Because of the weekend, there were very few people in the library.So as soon as Mesa came in, she met Mrs. Pince's sharp eyes, which were like those of a vulture that had been hungry for many days.

If anyone dared to make any noise in the library, eat snacks in the library, or cause any damage to the books, Mrs. Pince would be seen waving a feather duster and furious.

The terrifying combat power is really frightening, much more ferocious than the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest.

Mesa estimated that even if the Death Eaters made a mistake in the library, Mrs. Pince, who had a home battle bonus, would be able to kill one of them and make two of them do the same thing.

Under the gaze of the most powerful people in the library, Mesa spread out his books and completed the homework assigned by the professors.Since entering second grade, professors have assigned more homework, especially on weekends.

After a long time, Mesa had finished writing an eight-inch paper on transfiguration, and the library was still empty.Among the few students here and there, there was not a single senior.

It was like the older kids at Hogwarts had left school overnight.

"Today is Hogsmeade weekend, they should all go to Hogsmeade." Lilia said softly, "I really want to go, especially the Honeydukes candy store. Although you can order, I still like to go to the store Choose here.”

Mesa sighed, why didn't he want to go to Hogsmeade?But what he wanted to go to was not Honeydukes, but the Hog's Head Bar.

"Let's go, I can't stay in this library for more than a minute." Mesa said. When he learned that today was Hogsmeade weekend, his heart was instantly filled with weeds.

"Where can I go if not in the library?" Lilia raised her head and asked, "I don't want to go back to the common room. Those first-year brats are making a lot of noise."

"I found another suspicious place, let's go try it now." Mesa said, "I can't wait a minute!"

With that said, Mesa rushed out of the library and headed straight for the statue of the toady Gregory.
