In fact, the homework of the first grade is relatively difficult to correct. The children have less experience in writing papers than the "old fritters" of the upper grades. It is normal for the whole paper to be circled with red mistakes. Fortunately, this part of the paper The topics to be studied are relatively simple. After the two phases are balanced, it is still the best correction among the functions of all grades.Harry corrected his homework quite quickly, and within 10 minutes he agreed to correct the remaining first-year papers within 10 minutes.

Of course, Harry deliberately placed the dilapidated diary within Regulus' sight, and his purpose was not as complicated as imagined. He only needed the other party to notice the diary and be able to read it. It is enough to think of some conjectures about the soul. Of course, if he can realize that this thing has a great connection with Voldemort, then his goal will be achieved.

What Harry didn't expect was that after secretly reading the diary, Regulus actually asked directly: "Professor, can I ask you a question?" He even raised the diary in his hand, But because it was too dilapidated, Slytherin didn't dare to use special force. In Harry's slightly astonished eyes but didn't stop immediately, he solemnly put the notebook in front of Harry, "Excuse me about the potion in this notebook?" , is it the potion you've been making recently?"

Probably because his own level of potion was not enough, Regulus didn't understand more than half of it. For the whole potion, the part he could understand the most was its part. "It's just..." His voice became lower and lower, "Is it the kind you took and sold in the alley?"

"Huh?" Harry's voice was still full of surprise, but he slowly organized the notes in his hand and put them in the drawer neatly. He didn't seem to be panicked at all, and even had a casual attitude.

In fact, Harry did a good job of hiding his surprise at the other party's sharpness, and Slytherin definitely exceeded his expectations.In fact, it is right to think about it. In this world, apart from Dumbledore, only the Slytherin in front of him discovered Voldemort's private plan. This one even planned to destroy it. Although he failed in the end, such a The spirit is also worthy of admiration.

"Remember what I said before, potions are just my little hobby, and I have never sold potions anywhere." Harry smiled slightly.

The corners of Regulus' mouth twitched. It wasn't the first time he had noticed that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor liked to talk nonsense, but every time the thickness of the opponent's skin set the upper limit.

"So you're really making such a potion?" Regulus took the initiative to shift the point of the topic.

"That's right," Harry raised his eyebrows, "Why, it seems that you are also very interested in it?"

"Can you tell me what this potion does, sorry, because it looks too attractive—" Regulus seemed to remember the fact that he had been peeking at the diary just now, Of course, it wasn't considered a peek, because the other party put it within his line of sight, which showed that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor didn't care, "I couldn't help but take a look."

"Well, I don't want it next time." There was not much blame in Harry's expression.

Regulus: "..." That note was obviously put down by you, okay?

"But since you've read it, watch it. With your potion level, I don't think you can fully understand it." Harry paused, pretending not to see the black line on Regulus' forehead, " As for what it does, if you read the first explanation, it is the most obvious explanation." As long as you understand the language, you can understand it. This thing is not the original, but he later based on the previous one. He deliberately made it old, and he even changed a lot of parts, so that he didn't worry that the other party could really sell the formula of such a super difficult potion.

"I mean, appease the soul?" Regulus said this sentence more and more cautiously, "I don't understand..."

"Because that's not what you can study now." Harry's words were embarrassingly straightforward.

Regulus: "..."

"If you are really interested, I suggest you not go to the library to look up information, read books about the category of souls, and find out an answer, such as when does the soul need appeasement." Harry pretended to think about it, " Perhaps you could write me a paper on the subject."

Regulus was not too old, and this was the first time he heard such a thing - he knew that Harry was making such a potion before, but he never thought that this potion was actually related to the soul. Related, recently he has a good relationship with the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. When getting along in private, he even worships this person a little bit. It is not the same as the worship of the Dark Lord. This professor is closer to him , and he was able to guide him in time, because he has made rapid progress recently under the guidance of the other party.

"I don't know if I can do well—"

"It doesn't matter, it's just an attempt. It's also a good thing that students have a wide range of knowledge. I can give you a clearance note for the □□ area. But all the research on the soul, not every professor is willing to let students Conduct research on your own," Harry said in a matter-of-fact tone, "In fact, in history, whenever the realm of the soul is involved, there is a little danger, so you have to remember one thing when researching, don't be fooled by it." Bewitched by what is depicted, carefully distinguish what is dangerous and what can really help yourself."

Reguler actually failed to fully understand Harry's words, but he did listen to one thing, "Is it dangerous?"

"Let's put it this way, the soul is the master of a person's body. When your soul is unstable, or you try to do something to it and destroy its stability, it may be a catastrophe for the body. Now we can take care of it. Or, it has a lot to do with our having a stable soul."

Just a few words from Harry made that Regulus turn pale, "Because the soul is unstable, do you need a potion to appease the soul?"

Harry's face changed, and Regulus could even clearly see his pupils dilated slightly.

"Your comprehension is much higher than I imagined." The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor said, but his tone was a bit complicated, with some surprise and appreciation, but more of an inexplicable mood.

"This kind of potion is very complicated, but there are not too many finished products. Apart from the fact that not many people can make it, its demand is not too great." Harry's fingers tapped on the parchment scroll on the table. Knock, "So I'm doing this, just for fun and to challenge myself."

Although this Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would sometimes tell nonsense with his eyes open, this time, he actually believed the other party's words inexplicably, perhaps because what he said was too straightforward, making people feel embarrassed to suspect, if he Wouldn't it be stupid to say that there is really another purpose?

"Are you satisfied with this answer?" Harry pointedly pressed Regulus who was stunned.

Slytherin nodded involuntarily. Although the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor said so much, he was still very curious about this thing, because he couldn't believe that what the Dark Lord desperately needed was actually related to the soul —more precisely, it has to do with appeasement of the soul.The Dark Lord probably didn't expect him to be aware of this problem, so he didn't shy away from him too much when he hinted at his proximity to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.Does this mean that there is a problem with the stability of the Dark Lord's soul, and that's why such a potion is needed?

If that was the case - and Professor Prince had just said that unstable souls were a disaster - did that mean the Dark Lord was up to something dangerous?

After that night, with such doubts, Regulus actually went to the library and started to look it up. Probably because of this, he spent less and less time harassing Harry later on. That's it.

After Regulus left that night, little Snape ran out after hearing the movement.

That's it for the first sentence: "This man is strange."

"Is there any?" Harry started grading homework again, and he asked without looking up, "Where are the leftover tableware from eating just now?"

"He should have his own purpose in approaching you."

"He's still young." Harry sighed. "Even if there is, you should believe that I can handle it."

Little Snape kept focusing on Harry's face, "Then why did you say those things to him?"

"It's normal for me to say those words. Regarding the soul, it is inherently dangerous."

The problem was that little Snape always felt that this matter was not as simple as he understood. Harry would sometimes say some inconspicuous words, but those words did not sound incongruous, and even had some guiding meaning.

If it only sounds like this, those warnings are still normal, after all, they are also true, and of course there is a very important point, Harry is definitely not just brewing such a potion for money, he has his own purpose.This is also confirmed.

Harry did sell these potions to Knockturn Alley, and little Black mentioned this issue more than once, so what should little Black encounter in Knockturn Alley?And Little Black is obviously more nervous about this matter than he imagined, so it will not be easy to add up.

What is the connection point in this?Black, Knockturn Alley, Slytherin, potions?An astonishing answer slowly emerged in Snape's brain. Leaving aside the last one, the first three are all closely related to black magic. What can one think of when mentioning black magic?

A man who can't even mention his name.

No way?Snape's eyes widened slightly.

He couldn't believe that the purpose of Harry's doing this was to try to get close to that person, the one who couldn't even mention his name.

why?

Because of... the soul?

No, he couldn't think anymore, he couldn't think like this in Harry's presence, because once Harry found out what he had found, then he doubted the man would be so defenseless against him again.

Taking advantage of such a wonderful opportunity, he will definitely be able to figure out what the young man's purpose is.Little Snape adjusted his emotions before continuing to do what he was going to do.

forbidden forest.It was evening now, the moonlight had already risen, and the clouds in the sky covered the bright and bright moonlight like smoke. Recently, the temperature during the day began to rise, but the weather became cooler after nightfall.

Of course, ordinary people would not come to the depths of the Forbidden Forest at this time, but little Snape came today to find the little unicorn.

I have lived in the Forbidden Forest for a while, and with the help of a group of unicorns, the little prince has adapted well. This can be seen from its smoother hair and stronger body. Of course. , it obviously still resents Harry and little Snape for abandoning it like this. Little Snape came several times at the beginning, and the prince resisted him every time, but fortunately, the distance between the two became more and more shorten.The last time little Snape came, the little prince was finally willing to take the initiative to approach little Snape.

It was a bit late, and the little Snape had a "talk" with the prince for a while—of course, the little Snape party said that the prince was responsible for all kinds of cuteness.

The little unicorn moved a little restlessly at this time, but still leaned on the boy's arms very docilely, reluctant to let him go, it still looked around from time to time, little Snape knew what he was looking at , replied tirelessly: "He didn't come, only me."

The little unicorn rubbed the boy's cloak unhappily with its pointed horns, as if asking why Harry didn't come.

"He's very busy," said little Snape in good words for Harry. "He's not in good health recently. When he's free, I'll definitely let him visit you, so you have to get used to the environment here."

The prince stretched out his little hoof to rub against Snape's hand, and Snape quickly grabbed it, stopping him from moving, "Don't move, don't do that."

The little unicorn reluctantly took back its little hoof. At first it was just in the opponent's arms, but soon, he almost put the weight of his entire body on it. It was obvious that he didn't want the opponent to leave Rhythm.

Little Snape couldn't bear it, and he was very reluctant, "Then I'll stay a little longer." In fact, he had been with the little unicorn for nearly an hour just now, and he had a lot of homework tonight, so he planned to leave early, but Seeing the prince like this now, he really doesn't want to leave.

Compared with dealing with those words, getting along with little unicorns is obviously cuter.

"You said, his health will get better?"

The little unicorn didn't know if it understood what Snape was saying, but it seemed to nod when the boy asked.Actions.

Little Snape, who was not in a good mood before, was greatly improved by this action, "Fortunately, you are here."

The little unicorn nudged the boy again.

"But he seems to be doing something very dangerous." Regarding that person, it must be very dangerous.

Although the matter has some clues, there is no conclusive evidence for Snape Jr., but various evidences show that Harry is indeed trying to get close to Voldemort through Slytherin, but his recent interaction with Regulus is not clear. Make him a little fuzzy.

In any case, he can only wait and see at this stage, while this person has no defense against him.

As the days approached the Easter holiday, the learning atmosphere between the fifth graders and the seventh graders began to become tense. Harry's requirements for these two grades became more and more strict, especially in terms of practical operations. It is divided into half with the written test, but in terms of operability, the written test is dead, and the practice is alive. The part that is easy to lose points is obviously practice.For this reason, he specially designed a practice assessment for these two grades.

But he had a lot of problems in choosing the venue.

Harry wanted to choose the Forbidden Forest, but that place was relatively dangerous, but this kind of environment also gave people more room to play, and from the perspective of actual combat, what this kind of environment could bring to them would be better than what they could do in the classroom. The simulated environment is more integrated, and the magic is better understood.

The seventh graders already have the ability to protect themselves, but it is obviously the fifth graders who are suffering.

The strength of this group of fifth graders was pretty good, but he wasn't sure if the school would let him do this.

Even Dumbledore was slightly surprised when he heard his suggestion, "Are you sure you want to do joint practice in the Forbidden Forest?"

Harry nodded, and asked quite empathetically, "Does my design embarrass you?"

Dumbledore stared at Harry for a while, as if he was examining how serious the young man was when he made this suggestion, and how sure he was, "No, if you take protective measures, of course I would like you to do so, Forbidden Forest It is indeed a very good field fighting environment, and I can completely understand your intention. Besides, there are only some dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest, but most of the magical animals living in the Forbidden Forest are relatively friendly to Hogwarts, so as long as If you say hello in advance, there should be no problem."

"You agree?"

"In theory, that's right, but I need you to give me a detailed plan, to make a report on the battlefield you have set up and the environment you have delineated, as well as the protection measures you need to take, and... Are you going to do something like this with the whole fifth graders?"

Harry lowered his eyes and said what he was thinking: "The entire fifth grade is really too much, then we will be divided into two groups, Gryffindor and Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Odd group..."

Before Harry finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dumbledore: "Are you sure you want to divide like this? Not Gryffindor and Hufflepuff?"

Harry understood that this was Dumbledore reminding him that if the lion and the snake, the mortal enemies, were put together, the two sides would definitely fight hard, and the scene might get out of control. In this way, it might go against his original intention , which is more likely to turn into a brawl in the end.

"I personally don't recommend making such a bold decision when making such a plan for the first time." Dumbledore also reminded him of one thing. "I thought you remembered what happened the night before the school year started."

That rainy night...Of course he remembered it.

but--

"I'm divided equally according to my understanding of Defense Against the Dark Arts theory." Ravenclaw can take a relatively weak Hufflepuff, although Slytherin and Gryffindor always like to choke to the end, "The combined number of the two is less than [-] people. Such a person is better than I expected." It is also easier to control. In fact, he has thought about this problem before and considered most of the factors. "I will Remind them that they must use legitimate means, not some mischievous curse."

Although the two sides are choking hard, but with his control, if this matter can be controlled well, then this will be able to bring out the greatest potential of the students of these two colleges.

As for little Snape and his father, there will be a fair competition... This is what he would like to see.

He really hoped it wasn't wishful thinking on his part.

"I'll think about it carefully." Anyway, he's just making a verbal suggestion now. When he makes a plan, Dumbledore can still change it if he's not satisfied. "If there's nothing wrong..."

"Wait—" Dumbledore made a soothing gesture, "There is one more thing I want to remind you, you seem to be getting closer and closer to the Slytherin students recently, and some people even think that your Slytherin The Lytherins are too biased, which is not conducive to your reputation among the students..." In fact, it is not a day or two for young people to openly favor Slytherins, but this person always pretends to be stupid for him, and he really didn't He can completely see through this person's purpose, so until today he can only remind him like this.

Dumbledore hoped that the young man would not do something that exceeded his bottom line, but he always felt that this person had been testing his bottom line, which made the old man feel inexplicably powerless.

Hearing the old man's words, Harry's face was immediately filled with doubts, "Who said this? Please let him come to me, and I can explain it in person."

To be honest, the old man never dreamed that he would hear such an answer. This person is really too thick-skinned.

——But maybe this is also one of the other party's strengths?

"Well, I just heard someone say that," Dumbledore did not intend to provide a name, "I also heard that you have been very close to Regulus Black recently?"

"I can only say that that is the normal distance between a student and a professor, probably because he is about to enter a curious adolescence, so he always has a lot of questions that I need to answer," Harry seemed to remember "What I have to say is that he is indeed a good seed." In fact, the results of the Black family are not that bad. Although there is a shadow of madness in their blood, they are all very smart. An indisputable fact, "I think in the future, if he doesn't go astray, he will have a bright future."

"I hope you really know what you're doing."

"Thank you for your advice, Albus," Harry said seriously, "Please believe me, I have remembered everything you said."
