[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

Less than two weeks after the start of the term, Hogwarts students received a bad news: it was time to turn in research teaching assignments for the holidays.

"I don't understand." Carrie felt a little gloating, "If you really have to pay, why don't you accept it at the beginning of school?"

A research-based teaching is equivalent to a thesis, so everyone has to write at least seven or eight papers during the holidays, not counting other homework.

Could it be done?Of course it is possible, the premise is to make reasonable use of vacation time and combine work and rest.

How many people can make reasonable use of time during the holidays?Not many.

The fact is that on the first day of school, most students only make up three or four papers temporarily.

Everyone nervously thought that homework would be accepted in the first class, but all the professors had the same idea of ​​only accepting homework and ignoring research papers.

"This thing is just for show, and the school won't accept it at all."

"What if I have to collect it later?"

"If you don't accept it now, the possibility of accepting it in the future is very slim."

"But what if?"

"What's in case, let you make it up, can you finish it?"

"That must be endless."

"That's fine. It's not like the school doesn't know that we didn't write at all."

A Gryffindor senior patted his junior on the shoulder earnestly: "You are still too young, we will not write, and the school will not accept it. This is a kind of tacit understanding. You can only appreciate the unspeakable tacit understanding."

Similar dialogues often occurred during this period, some between the upper grades and the lower grades, and some were the students' own psychological struggle process.

No matter how strong the sense of guilt is, in the end of the psychological struggle, those who did not write before will still not be able to write.They redoubled their play as if they were venting, joy mixed with terror and shame, joy mixed with pain.

Now everything owed has to be paid back, the people who are writing hard in the library think desperately and stubbornly, although it is painful, a true warrior will never regret it!Play is played, regret is impossible to regret.

Carrie was such a person too, but she didn't need to write a thesis.Not having to participate in research teaching is the biggest relief that the status of fifth grade can give her.

"dong dong"

Alice knocked on the table: "Do you think that everything will be fine if you don't need to write a thesis, and you can indulge yourself?"

"No, I didn't think so," Carrie sat upright, "I have to prepare for the next OWLs exam."

Of course Alice didn't believe it. After all, Carrie had a criminal record. She said she was studying at home during the holidays, but she actually went out on a date with her boyfriend!

Alice's eyes were like knives, and Carrie, for some reason, showed innocent eyes and smiled flatteringly.

Taking a deep breath, Alice told herself to calm down.This is my best friend, and there is no need to ruin a friendship for many years for such a small thing.

"You learn first, I'll go and see them."

Alice came to the most remote corner of the library.The long table in the corner was full, and there were students from the four colleges, and there were quite a few of them.

As one of the few people who has completed research teaching, Alice has plenty of time.Originally, she planned to find Professor Snape to start the research project directly, but the students from the college suddenly came to him, intending to spend money for help with the thesis.

At first, Alice thought she was asked to write a thesis, but she refused without hesitation.Not to mention that she never directly writes homework for others, and she can't finish writing more than a dozen papers at once.

But after listening to the explanation, she realized that she had misunderstood.

It's not ghost writing, but just providing the structure of the thesis, and tutoring to speed up their writing speed.

Since this is the case, as a prefect and the future president of the student council, it is her duty to help her classmates!

Not only to help a classmate in her own college, but also to help all four of her colleges.

The price list was drawn up quickly, 2 Galleons for multiple people tutoring at the same time, and 5 Galleons for one-on-one tutoring.

The price of one-on-one tutoring is set so high to highlight the cheapness of multi-person tutoring.One-to-one is too time-consuming, Alice intends to make small profits but sell more, and win by quantity.

But the fact gave her a heavy blow: there are far more rich people than imagined.

Although there are not many people who choose one-on-one tutoring, there are still many.In this way, she can only temporarily give up the idea of ​​​​specializing in research, and finish the business first.

But no matter how many people need counseling, the deadline is fixed, and she just needs to get through this time.

"The book list is full of classic books on every subject. You can choose a book to quickly browse the catalog and choose a topic you are interested in and have something to say about."

Alice wandered around the long table, the customer is God, she must ensure that everyone is focused on catching up on papers, "Attention, you have to think about this topic, connect and come up with your own topics, not copy other people's views."

She understood it with emotion, moved it with reason, and after repeated assurances that it would not affect other students' studies, she finally persuaded Mrs. Pince and obtained the right to use the most remote corner of the book corner.

But access rights are time-limited, so efficiency must be improved.

"After determining the topic idea, make an outline, and in the process of making the outline, further determine whether you are suitable for this topic."

"And Francis, you don't need to use "Top [-] Quidditch Stars" in your Transfiguration paper, put it back."

Despite Alice's repeated orders not to make a sound, suppressed laughter came from the long table.The boy who was named scratched his head, trotted without changing his expression, and put the book on the bookshelf not far away.

"Okay, come back to your senses, let's continue." Alice provided experience while checking the books they read, "The outline requirements start from the three directions of 'what, why, and how'."

"These are just three directions, and there are several aspects to write about in each direction in actual operation."

Alice stood beside the drowsy Abby: "Take what is an example, what is the background, what is the problem, what is the definition, etc."

The sound that was close at hand woke Abby up from her dream, and she blushed immediately when she looked back at Alice's condemning gaze.

"Half an hour to make an outline. Give the outline to me in half an hour."

Assigning homework means that she can relax a bit for the next half hour.

"Even if you can't write, you have to submit the outline after half an hour, which will help me help you solve the problem." She emphasized before leaving, "And the most important point, no plagiarism."

Temporarily away from work, Alice cheered up and walked into the restricted area.

It is always easier for Ravenclaw to get the signature of the headmaster, not to mention that Alice can also ask for Professor Snape's signature on the grounds of research.

Regardless of everyone else, at least the Restricted Area was an old friend of Alice's.

But this time it's not an excuse, she is really preparing for the research.

About Alice's original thought in fifth grade: The mechanism of action of mood potions is to affect certain substances in the human brain.Without her doing anything, Professor Snape had made progress.

The gap between people is so big. When Alice was still struggling with the OWLs exam, Professor Snape had already finished high school chemistry and biology, and was gearing up to advance to university knowledge.

The current result is that a new potion that can affect people's emotions has been developed.

It's just that, unlike traditional potions, this potion has very limited effects on people, and it can't even be proved whether the effects are real or come from psychological comfort and illusion.

In this regard, Professor Snape believes that potions are different from Muggle chemicals after all. In addition to the impact on physiological substances, the key may lie in higher-level influences.

Like the soul.

Although Alice believed that the professor made this guess because he was still concerned about his own research and development of new potions, but before officially starting the experiment, she was still planning to consult and collect relevant information on the soul issue.

The problem of the soul is so advanced that few copies can be found even in the restricted section.

Alice's eyes quickly skipped over the books on the upper row, and bent down to search carefully in disappointment.

"Basic Use of Black Magic", "Ten Most Practical Black Magic", "From Zero to Mastery of Black Magic"...

At a glance, black magic books accounted for more than half, and most of the remaining books were not even written in English.

At first, Alice thought that the curse might be related to the soul, but after searching through the few books, she found that wizards' understanding of the curse was very poor.

The book is all about how to cast a curse or how to cast a more vicious curse while undoing it.The principle of the curse was only vaguely stated, and the word "soul" was not mentioned in the entire book.

"There is no way, we can only start with black magic."

Alice had no resistance to black magic. After all, it was the person who used black magic who was wrong, not black magic.

Now that we want to study black magic, we should start with the most difficult ones. After all, books on low-end topics such as souls should not be covered.

Cutting-Edge Dark Arts Revealed

The three unforgivable...

Fiendfire...

Um?Spiritualism?

Awaken the dead!

Oh, Infernal, it's all right.In her opinion, an infernal corpse without reason and emotion is not a soul at all.

"It turns out that black magic still has headlines." Alice shook her head, muttered and turned to the next page, and then her eyes froze.

The state of immortality...can possess...splitting soul...

After reading the explanation, Alice's first thought was: Who invented such a vicious spell?

Cut the soul, lose magic and body after being killed, become weak, as long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, it will never die.

What if this is used by someone to avenge the revenge?First make the opponent into a Horcrux, then kill the opponent, and then you can torture a weak, immortal soul forever.

She shuddered, terrible and terrible.

"It's almost time." Alice glanced at the Horcrux elimination method one last time, and put the book on the bottom shelf.

Although scary, there is a high probability that you will never encounter it.She didn't think she had any mortal enemies.
