Hogwarts Survival Sim

After bidding farewell to Harry, Ethan and Hermione returned to Gryffindor Tower together.

"Ethan! Hermione! Are you finally back?"

As soon as they entered the common room, Ron's voice rang out.

"Yeah, we just came back, and we went to the school hospital to visit Harry." Ethan waved to Ron, who seemed to be working on his Divination class homework.

"Oh, then you should also know what happened these days." Ron stood up from the sofa chair, "How was your trip? Did you encounter any danger?"

"It's not dangerous, but it's still thrilling. But I'll tell you later. Now I just want to sleep until tomorrow morning."

"It looks like you are not having an easy time either," Ron sighed, "Then I won't disturb your rest, but Hermione, please take care of your cat. It comes to my dormitory eight times a day now. I feel like Banban will be scared to death of it soon.”

"Sorry, Ron. I'll keep an eye out."

"I have never seen such a persistent cat." He couldn't help but muttered again, and then continued to work on his homework.

…………

the next day.

When Ethan opened his eyes again, Harry had already returned from the school hospital.Today was Monday, and the first class in the morning was Potions. It was not a good thing to have to face Snape's gloomy face early in the morning.

"Neville has almost driven Snape crazy during your absence." On the way to the classroom, Harry and Ron laughed and described it to Ethan and the others.

"Now Neville seems to have a clue about potions. I dare say his level may not be worse than yours, Hermione." Ron said with an exaggerated expression, "In the beginning, Snape was still as usual. It was difficult for him, but unexpectedly Neville not only made the potion as required, but even made improvements, which made Snape very unhappy."

"He must have thought it was just a coincidence at the time," Harry continued. "In fact, most people thought so. After all, Neville's previous performance in Potions class was indeed a bit hard to describe."

"So Snape started to get more serious. Now he will set a strange requirement for Neville in every class. If he can't do it, he will be punished. But most of Neville can complete it."

"However, occasionally when he failed, Snape's punishment was to let him go to his office to deal with potions materials. As a result, Neville kept asking some potions questions during the process, which made Snape overwhelmed. Annoying. As a result, he changed the confinement to writing a paper."

"What about now?" You must know that Snape has always ignored the academic master he hated, so Ethan asked curiously, "After such a long time, Snape should know that Neville is really He has become more powerful, are you still targeting him like before?"

"It's still the same. I think he must be unwilling to accept it," Ron shrugged. "A student that he used to look down on suddenly became a top student, and he was also the Gryffindor he hated the most. I think this is quite good. Okay, anyway, with Neville attracting firepower, Harry and I felt a lot more relaxed in Potions class."

"That's true." Harry nodded in agreement. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to think this way, Neville seemed to be enjoying it, so the two of them naturally had no psychological burden.

"It's so interesting," Ethan said with great interest, "Do you think it's possible that Snape valued Neville's potions talent and planned to train him in this way?"

"..."

Hearing this, Harry and Ron suddenly fell silent.They first looked at each other, then stared at Ethan with a strange look, as if they were looking at a troll.

"Hey, you two!" Ethan rolled his eyes speechlessly, "I said it was possible, maybe okay? And I always feel that you have a bit of a misunderstanding about Snape."

"You are the one who has the biggest misunderstanding, right?" Harry and Ron shouted in unison.

…………

As they say, if you ignore the 'showdown' between Snape and Neville, this Potions lesson would have seemed a little underwhelming.The return of Ethan and Hermione didn't seem to cause much trouble. The only one affected was probably Malfoy, who had been very arrogant during this period.

"While you were away, Malfoy kept coming to harass Harry." While Snape was checking Neville's potion, Ron said softly, "He seems to know something about Sirius Black, and he keeps motivating Harry to take the initiative. Go catch him. But now that you are back, Ethan, he won’t dare to come over and talk nonsense.”

"Ignore him," Ethan responded, "What he knows may not be the truth. When Blake is caught, everything will be revealed."

Soon, the potions class ended with Neville's perfect performance and Snape's gloomy expression.

Compared to the Potions class in the morning, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon is undoubtedly more worth looking forward to.

"As long as Snape doesn't continue to teach," Ron stuffed a sausage into his mouth and said vaguely, "But I think Professor Lupine's illness should have been cured. After all, there is a giant Mrs. Frey is here."

"Substitute? Sick?" Hermione repeated doubtfully.

"Professor Lupine was sick in the last class, and it was Snape who taught the class." Harry explained to her, "Although I don't know what the illness was, Snape should be the one who treated him. I met him once before. He came with a strange potion for Professor Lupin."

"Oh, that's right." Hermione understood. The so-called illness should be related to wolf transformation, and the strange potion was probably the wolfsbane potion.

"Don't worry," she smiled mysteriously, "Maybe Professor Lupine will never get sick again soon."

After lunch, the four of them walked towards the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.When they arrived, Professor Lupine was already sitting in the classroom.Although he looked a little weak, as if he was recovering from a serious illness, he didn't seem to be anything serious.

"Welcome back, Ethan and Hermione." Seeing them, Lupine showed a delighted smile, "Today we are going to study Xinkpunk. As for the werewolf paper, you don't need to write it. I will discuss it with Snake. Professor Pu explained the situation."

The illness obviously did not affect Professor Lupine's teaching level. This Defense Against the Dark Arts class was as relaxed and enjoyable as ever.After class, the students walked out of the classroom in twos and threes, but Lupine stopped Harry, Ethan and Hermione.

"Harry, Ethan, Hermione, please wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
