Mentor and Friends

When the snow dissipated and the warm wind hit, more than half of this semester had passed before we knew it.

But the entire Hogwarts was filled with a more tense atmosphere.

The two big exams of the seventh grade and the fifth grade were gradually approaching, which led to a dignified atmosphere for both teachers and students, whether it was the library or the lounge or under the big tree beside the black lake.

Probably the only professor who wasn't nervous was Harry.

Tom saw that he always looked relaxed, as if he was not in a hurry for the exam at all.

Some students wondered why he wasn't nervous, what if the [-]th and [-]th graders didn't play well or something?

Harry smiled and replied: "If they start to be nervous from this period of time, worrying about their grades every day so that they can't eat, I believe they can know their grades without taking the exam when it's time to take the exam."

Compared with many professors’ question-sealing policy and nagging about the importance of this exam every day—whether it’s fifth grade or seventh grade—Harry’s teaching method is the same as before, but I heard that there are more practical courses, The theoretical aspect is more on homework after class.

In his words, in the classroom, he can immediately find out what shortcomings the students have in the practical class, and in terms of theory, he only needs to find out where their understanding is wrong in the homework.

Because of Harry's relaxed manner, the fifth and seventh graders were less tense in their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

At the same time, Dumbledore didn't seem to worry about the exams in fifth and seventh grades at all.

These two should be said to be the most relaxed professors in Hogwarts now, even their answers are almost exactly the same.

"They are too nervous now, and it's not a good thing when they really have to take the exam."

It is said that his teaching methods for the seventh and fifth grades have also changed slightly, but the method is actually the same as Harry's.

When Harry found out, he smiled and said nothing.

He himself was taught by Headmaster Dumbledore, and the method he could think of, Albus could think of, is not a strange thing.

Of course, the fifth and seventh grade exams did not affect the normal life of students in other grades. At most, it was to give them a better environment. Now the library is full of fifth and seventh grade students, and there is no common room People were making loud noises, and even the lawn beside the Black Lake no longer had people go there to laugh.

The place where Tom blocked Harry turned into a classroom. He could always ask Harry all kinds of strange questions that did not exceed the scope of the seventh grade, but he didn't ask Harry after every question like in the past. Leigh signed his book list.

Harry couldn't understand it, but he was actually relieved to see Tom so eager to learn.

Tom couldn't be more satisfied with the status quo of the two of them. If it can continue like this until he graduates, Tom won't think there's anything bad about it.

But Merlin couldn't see that he was going too smoothly, and just wanted to make something to annoy him.

It all started with a potions class for fifth year Slytherin students.

Because Slughorn was busy with his own Potions Association and taking care of the teaching here, especially when the fifth and seventh grades were facing big exams, he himself felt a little uncomfortable during this period.

Because the spirit was not very good, he just arranged for the students to make some potions, and he was sitting at the side of the podium, because these were high-level potions, so he didn't walk around among the students as usual to comment on their operations.

Prepare to face the exam, what they need is to concentrate on thinking about what to do with their next potion, instead of listening to his comments on the sidelines, you know, during the exam, there will be no professor who will lament your technique and then tell you suggestion.

Slytherin students have always been reassuring in potions. Although some people are not talented in potions, if they follow the instructions in the book, Slughorn once said that There is no problem in passing the exam safely.

But Slytherin, who had no problems in the past, had a problem today.

When Slughorn was looking at his lesson plans on the podium and thinking about what content should be supplemented for the fifth grade students before their exams, there was a loud "boom" from the podium, making Slughorn Almost jumped up.

Someone's cauldron exploded!

Slughorn picked up his wand almost instantly and rushed down, cleaning up the blasted potion with one spell.

"What's going on... Roy..." Slughorn never expected that the cauldron exploded was actually the most outstanding one in Potions class in Hogwarts except Tom Kid, Roy Reginald.

Because it was his crucible, the explosion of the crucible caused him the most direct damage. His left half of his body was almost soaked in the potion, and the potion soaked through his clothes, and a few wisps of white smoke came out from his body—unfinished Potions have always been the most toxic.

But his other hand firmly grasped a person's hand. That person probably didn't expect Roy to react so quickly. He remembered to retract his hand before he came, and kept throwing things.

It was obvious at a glance that the explosion of Roy's crucible was man-made.

"Joe, you would do such a thing." Slughorn looked at him angrily.

Joe looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't panic. The whole Slytherin knew that he didn't like Roy. Roy was a half-blood wizard whose mother died early and was brought up by a Muggle father. Joe, The pure-blooded - though his family didn't have much power - the wizard had long disliked him.

Strength represented everything in Slytherin, and Tom was able to take the chief position as a Muggle wizard, not only because of his blood that broke out later, but also because he was strong enough.

But since Roy entered school, except for his good performance in Potions class, his performance in other subjects has been mediocre. In fact, he has skipped many classes, and many professors actually don't know about this person.

It's just such a person who has almost zero sense of existence, but has repeatedly shined in potions class.

This made Joe, who is also talented in potions, very dissatisfied, especially every time, Slughorn smiled and told him that his potions were doing well, but he still needed to learn from Roy. Say it once, and he will hate Roy.

"I just handed him the ingredients for the potion and accidentally dropped it into the cauldron." He explained his mistake insincerely.

He is not Roy. He has no other specialties except potions. His grades in Transfiguration and Herbal Medicine have always been excellent, and he also performed very well in other classes. He is sure that he He can get a few more points than Roy. He knows that Professor Slughorn likes children with strength. Although Professor Slughorn values ​​Roy's talent in potions, if he is outstanding in one subject, he can do it. No way.

Sure enough, as Joe thought, Slughorn fell silent.

He smiled provocatively at Roy.

It's just that the paralyzed face turned a blind eye to his provocation, and still held his hand tightly.

At this time, blood was already appearing on Roy's left half of his body.

Slughorn hurriedly sent Roy to the medical wing.

Joe stood where he was, looked at Roy's exploding cauldron, and smiled coldly.

So what about potions geniuses?What are you great about besides potions?

Corrupted by the unfinished products of high-level potions, they will not be relieved without a period of rest, even though their potions professor is a potions master.

He can get a confinement of one or two months at most, but the person in the medical wing—maybe even transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital—will have to rest for two or three months. At that time, the owl exam , has passed.

How dare a kid taught by Muggles dare to fight him?

It is enough for a chief Riddle to appear in Slytherin, and not everyone can imitate the chief Riddle.

What's more, although Chief Riddle was born as a mixed-blood Muggle, he has the blood of the great Slytherin. This alone is more noble than any pure blood.

At that time, whether this chief will speak up for you, a half-blood wizard, is not certain.

Joe wasn't worried at all about the disaster he caused. He had already explained that he wanted to pass the potion ingredients to Roy, but he accidentally let go and let the ingredients fall into the crucible. He was just careless. Who could tell? Blame him to death?

So he walked to the auditorium very easily at noon to eat.

It's just that as soon as he entered the auditorium, he realized that something was wrong.

Almost everyone looked at him with pity.

kindness?

How is this going?

Joe walked to his companions with some puzzlement, and looked at his friends.

But his friends dared not say a word.

"Joe Moses?" An elegant voice sounded from the other side of the long table. Hearing this voice, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little bit numb.

"Riddle... chief." He turned his head a little stiffly.

At the head of the long table, Chief Riddle was looking at him in a smooth manner, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his eyes.

"Your punishment is down." He smiled gracefully, but for some reason, this smile made Joe feel threatening, "Headmaster Harry said, since you still have the potion ingredients in the fifth grade, then the future potion It's better for you not to take part in the medicine class and the potion test, lest... cause others to be injured next time."

boom……

The auditorium exploded almost instantly.

At lunch today, when Riddle asked Joe with a bad face, they knew that someone was going to be unlucky, so many people were waiting to see what kind of confinement Joe would be subjected to.

But unexpectedly, Riddle's words shocked everyone.

Harry... Dean?

Slytherin recognized the Headmaster?

And when the dean made a move, he deprived Joe of his potion class qualification?

The Slytherin students were even more astonished. Professor Harry usually seems to be a gentle person, but now...

Seeing Joe's instantly pale face, Tom smiled coldly.

Of course, this was not Harry's original words. Harry's original words were to prohibit Joe from going to Potions class, lest he be "careless" again. As for the owl exam?Let Joe figure it out.

It's just that Tom modified the sentence a little.

Tom remembered Harry's anger when he went to the hospital wing to see Roy's injuries, and that was the first time he'd seen unabashed anger on Harry's face, even when he and Harry were having an argument.

This recognition made Tom look at Joe even more unkindly.

What Joe hadn't figured out was that it was Slytherin, not Slughorn, who was doing it now.

The author has something to say: So, has anyone found that this Roy's character is very similar to someone? 2333333 So it’s not surprising that Harry got angry

So Tom you don't want me to make it easier for you
