Alice's Travels

In Potions class this Thursday afternoon, Alice seemed a little absent-minded.

Her gaze slowly scanned the bottles and cans on the shelf at the back of the classroom, and she felt that this was the most similar to the objects and feelings placed in the secret room - even if the person in the secret room was not Snape, he should like it very much Potions, she thought.

Alice was afraid to stare at Snape for fear of being spotted by him, but she couldn't help darting her eyes around him as he turned and paced - how could she ask him quietly? What about the secret room?

Just as Alice was deep in thought, Neville carefully elbowed her, and then immediately signaled Snape to come over with his eyes——

Harry and Ron were watching the scene. Hermione stopped what she was doing and frowned slightly to look at Alice. Even Malfoy looked over.

"Has your mind gone, Altman?" Snape said with a icy smile. "Look at your cauldron—are you trying to boil the potion dry?"

"Professor, I think I have a question—" Alice raised her eyes and said slowly, "Is there a kind of potion that can make the originally drawn creatures come back to life out of the frame—for example, the painting on the A little pig on the wall?"

Parkinson sneered on the other side, and Ron couldn't hold back a "puff" laugh, which immediately attracted disapproving looks from Harry and Hermione—he quickly pursed his lips.Crabbe and Goyle snickered, and Malfoy looked at Alice suspiciously, frowning.

"What imaginative whimsy! Altman -" said Snape sarcastically, "perhaps you remember that we are making a swelling potion in this class instead of - a kind of potion that will bring life to the portrait Magic medicine? Or, do you think that your level of potion production has surpassed the world—but in fact, you are no different from that pig?"

Alice didn't speak, her eyes were still watching Snape carefully, not missing any slight change of expression on his face.Neville stood tensely next to Alice, his whole body stiffened, his round face pale and miserable - as if he was the one who was being laughed at by Snape.

"Maybe you should ask your Charms teacher if he has such amazing magic, instead of highlighting your stupidity and ignorance in Potions class!" Snape sneered coldly, then turned and left.

Alice felt as if she had been shot standing up—a little blood was lost, but fortunately, a little experience was exchanged——Snape was not like the person who entered the secret room, when he mentioned the pig on the wall , His reaction was too normal - he didn't show any association or knowledge at all.

But that meant her leads were cut off again for the time being.Alice thought helplessly, and buried all the doubts deeply in her heart again.

After class, Alice had just walked out of the classroom when she heard Malfoy's voice behind her.

"Hey, Altman! What are you thinking, a little pig, huh?" Malfoy said, walking up to Alice from behind, and he gave her a provocative grin, raising his brow.Crabbe and Goyle followed him, grimacing at Alice and laughing.

"Shut up, Malfoy!" said Hermione, putting a hand on Alice's shoulder and pulling her towards her. "This is none of your business!"

"Oh—Miss Know-it-all from Gryffindor is really a good friend of Slytherin!" Malfoy said angrily, glared at them, and left with Crabbe and Goyle.

"What the hell are you thinking about today? It's that um, the little pig on the wall—poof—" Ron leaned over and asked curiously, and couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and said, "Ron! What Alice really wanted to ask was if there was a magic potion that would bring the creature in the picture back to life please - is there something wrong with you, Alice? She turned to look at Alice and asked, and Harry followed Hermione's words and looked at her.

Alice shook her head. She wanted to say that what she wanted to ask was actually the pig on the wall—but it was obviously what she wanted to achieve by causing such a wonderful misunderstanding.She smiled at Hermione and said, "I just thought of those people in the portraits. It would be great if I could use potions to bring them back to life."

"Oh, as far as I know, I've never seen it in any book—" Hermione said to Alice regretfully, "Snape said no."

"Magic is not omnipotent," said Harry. "Alice, you have to know that no one can bring back the dead, and you said it - no one lives forever."

"I think I see," said Alice, looking at them. "Thank you."

"Going to the library?" Hermione said with a relaxed smile.

"Okay." Alice nodded with a smile.

"Oh—" Ron wrinkled his face, "two nerds."

"Don't ask me or Hermione about the charm homework for a while." Alice gave him a sideways look.

"Harry—" Ron immediately called for help, and Harry laughed. "Don't ask me Ron, you know—I always ask Hermione."

"Haha!" Hermione laughed smugly.

A group of people walked towards the library talking and laughing, and their accompanying figures stretched far under the light of the corridor.

A week later, a dueling club opened in the auditorium.

The students were all very interested. All three of Harry went, and Alice also went to join in the fun at night.

There were a lot of people in the auditorium, and everyone was crowded with magic wands in their hands, and their faces were full of excitement.

But soon the corners of Alice's mouth twitched, because she saw Lockhart walking over with Snape—unfortunately, Lockhart was the founder of this club, and Snape was his assistant — According to himself.

The corners of Alice’s mouth twitched, considering whether to continue watching the performance of this source of happiness, whether to cooperate with his performance, or choose to ignore it——she watched Lockhart’s enthusiastic commentary and promoted her new work and Sneaker. With a cold expressionless face, he looked around at the expectant eyes of the people around him, and stayed silently in place.

Forget it, I haven't been happy for a long time, she thought secretly.

Lockhart and Snape started to demonstrate. They turned around and walked to both ends of the stage and pointed their wands at each other. After the countdown - as expected, Lockhart was knocked away by Snape after only one blow. A parabola flew off the stage and hit the wall before landing on the ground.

Oh oh - Alice smiled and said in her heart, one hit KO, over.

Malfoy and the surrounding Slytherins were applauding Snape.

"Is he all right?" Hermione asked worriedly, frowning as she tiptoed to look in Lockhart's direction.

"What the hell!" said Harry and Ron at the same time.

After a while, Lockhart re-entered the stage and tried to get himself back - verbally, but was immediately defeated by Snape's murderous cold face, and he stopped saying that he was hit by Snape on purpose In order to let the students see the power of the Disarming Curse, they hurriedly said that the demonstration was over.

Alice smiled silently.

Next, Lockhart divided the students into groups of two and asked them to practice in pairs.What's interesting - Alice and Parkinson just formed a team.

Alice raised her eyebrows and looked at Parkinson with a slight smile, showing her white teeth.Parkinson stared at her warily.

However, while Lockhart was grouping the other students, Snape walked straight through the crowd to Harry and Ron. He broke up the golden trio, called Malfoy over, and asked Harry to follow him. He's in the group - Alice saw the sneer on Snape's face as soon as she turned her head - the troublemaker, she thought.

When all the students were in groups, Lockhart called out, "Wands up - get ready! When I count to three, I'll cast a spell, disarm each other - just disarm - we don't want accidents. "

"one two Three--"

Alice quickly made a move when the three words just fell, "All petrified!"

Parkinson held up his wand before he had time to react, his body stiffened and he fell straight down, with a horrified expression on his face.Alice laughed, walked up to her and squatted down, "Look, it's just to impress you."

After she finished speaking with a smile, she looked around and found that other students were already fighting fiercely—some attacked each other with magic spells, and some huddled together and fought because the spells were not working. The scene became a mess, like Few of them ended a round so peacefully.

Alice watched speechlessly as Neville and another child were poking each other with their wands, Ron was apologizing to his ashen-faced opponent, Harry and Malfoy - one was jumping wildly, the other was laughing wildly, obviously they used magic The curses attack each other.

Lockhart looked at the chaotic crowd in horror, screaming for them to stop, but no one heeded him.Still relying on Snape to make a move, he used a 'Curse Standing Stop' on the venue, dispelling all the spells, and everyone stopped panting.

As soon as Harry stopped dancing, he rushed towards Hermione, and Alice saw Hermione lying on the ground with a tall and strong Slytherin girl, Millicent Burst. Clamping Hermione's head tightly, their wands were thrown aside, and Hermione was screaming in pain.Harry hurried over and pulled Burst away, and then helped Hermione up.

Alice cast a petrifying spell on Bostrode with cold eyes, and she immediately fell straight to the ground.

Harry and Hermione looked back and saw Alice approaching, "Are you all right, Hermione?" Alice asked, picking up the wand and handing it to Hermione.

"Oh, I think the hair still hurts -" said Hermione, rubbing her head.

"You should have come here sooner, Alice," said Harry, "I saw that girl pulling Hermione's hair all the time!"

"Sorry, I didn't see that before," Alice said.

At this moment, Lockhart stood in the middle of the auditorium with a flustered expression. Instead of letting each student practice duel, he decided to choose only one group to demonstrate to everyone.
