The Bard at Hogwarts

Hogwarts Potions Office.

Unlike the nervousness when he first came here, Ino was somewhat relaxed at the moment. Perhaps this was the confidence brought by magic.

As for Snape, although he still couldn't beat him now, after a year, he felt that he had the capital to face him.

It was probably like a leopard seeing a lion. It was definitely powerless in the face, but when it came to escaping or sneaking, it always had some capital.

After all, a leopard is not a harmless antelope. It also has teeth and claws.

Before the summer vacation, Professor Flitwick said that his magic power was close to that of a fourth-grade wizard.

Even if the past few months were not counted, just the spiritual baptism in the Room of Requirement, he clearly felt that his magic power had grown significantly.

Of course, magic was something illusory and had no reference, so he couldn't calculate how much it had grown.

But a feeling called confidence had quietly arisen.

...

The Potions Office was located in the basement of the castle, so the light here was always a little dim.

With the weak light of the candle, Ino also looked around as much as possible.

But besides the countless glass jars of specimens on the shelves on both sides of the wall, there are some books that look like banned books.

"Don't make trouble for me. Do you think Hogwarts is everything? Oh! You live in a bridge hole and don't know this! There are 11 magic schools in the world, but this is still not everything."

Snape said calmly while sitting on a chair. In the dim light, people couldn't see his expression clearly.

"Professor! I didn't make trouble, really! I just dissuaded a conflict. If I really wanted to make trouble, Hogwarts would have been restless last year. Besides, I have no right or ability to make trouble."

Ino replied with a smile. He heard the hidden meaning of Snape. The water in the magic world is indeed a bit deep. After all, the life span of wizards is generally much longer than that of Muggles.

What's more, there are wizards like Nicola Flamel who have lived for more than 600 years. Although Nicola is probably dead now, this also shows that the magic world is not a sitcom performed in a castle in a corner as described in the original story.

Besides, he never thought that this world with time converters, felicity potions, and extension spells was a simple world.

Time, space, destiny, such advanced magic, no matter how you put it in any story world, is also a ceiling.

Just as his thoughts were flying, Snape's voice sounded in the room again.

"It seems that you understand what I mean! This is good, proving that you are not a stupid and arrogant person. Unlike some reckless people, who rely on... sacrifice to gain fame, now he has almost forgotten who he is."

Although it was a sarcastic tone, Ino also heard the good intentions in the voice, and he also knew the reckless man's allusion.

To be honest, Snape can say such words, which is basically open and honest.

Although he didn't understand Snape's change, Ino still followed the other party's topic and whispered:

"Professor, fame is not an achievement. Some people are pushed to a height that they don't deserve by fate, which makes them feel proud, dizzy, and finally makes them feel terrified."

"Don't show off your lip service here!" Snape suddenly interrupted.

"If you have time to show off, why don't you practice magic or learn potions? Today you can stop a conflict forcefully and protect... I mean, you can protect the honor of the college. But what about next time? What if they are more people? What if they take advantage of you when you are not prepared?"

Snape's tone seemed to contain some anger.

"Thank you for your teachings! Professor!"

Ino probably figured out what was wrong with Snape, and this terrible story was very immersive. However, when I think about the fact that the other party had good intentions from beginning to end, although the tone was a bit problematic, it was not annoying.

On the other side, Snape pointed coldly at a bookshelf and said sarcastically:

"There is an old textbook in the middle drawer of the third row of bookshelves on the left. Take it and read it! Otherwise, you will have nothing to do all day and use half-baked magic to cause trouble."

Hearing this, Ino didn't say much, stood up and bowed slightly to Snape.

Turning around and walking to the third row of bookshelves on the left, a bookshelf that looks like it has been used for at least a dozen years. It is made of thick oak and has clear wood grains. Each of them looks like a natural work of art, deep and full of charm.

Opening the drawer in the middle of the bookshelf, what comes into view is an old and yellowed "Advanced Potion Making", which is also a common textbook for grades 5 to 7 at Hogwarts.

But whether it is the style or the color, the textbook in front of him is conservatively estimated to have been stored for at least 15 years.

The moment he saw the textbook, Ino had some guesses in his heart. After flipping through it casually and seeing it filled with various notes, he had the answer in his heart.

"Thank you again, Professor Snape! I will read it carefully and return it to you as soon as possible."

Although Snape responded with silence, he was really not annoyed at all. After all, some people's personalities are born like this.

...

Leave the Potions Office.

Ino suppressed his inner joy. The notes of the Half-Blood Prince are one of the few good things in the castle.

Because it not only contains super practical spells such as "Hanging Golden Bell", "Blocking Ears and Blocking Ears", "Locking Tongue and Sealing Throat".

Similarly, it also records Snape's exclusive magic "God of War", a powerful poisonous curse and black magic.

Wizards injured by the Shadowless Divine Sword cannot receive conventional treatment. Neither the White Fresh Essence nor the Healing Spell will have any effect. The injured can only bleed to death.

If it were not for the corresponding counter-spell, this terrifying killing effect alone might be completely classified as the highest level of cursed black magic, on par with the three unforgivable curses.

What's more, the Shadowless Divine Sword is an invisible magic, which is more difficult to predict and defend than the Killing Spell.

"As expected of a Half-Blood Prince, he is a good dean for sending poisonous curses to the second-year wizards of his own academy..."

In the basement corridor, Ino murmured with a smile.

He was already a little impatient. Facing such a note, how could he just read it once?

He had to copy it. If it weren't for the magic of the powerful wizard's notes, he would have wanted to copy it with a spell at this moment.

Of course, this was just a thought. The notes written by powerful wizards, let alone magic copying, even the automatic writing quill pen could not copy them.

If you want to save it, there is no way to take shortcuts. I can only do it myself, and copy it word by word honestly.

"I need to buy a copy of "Advanced Potion Making" in advance, and I need to find Davis to customize the musical instrument..."

Ino secretly calculated his future plans in his heart. He planned to violate the school rules once, and sneak back to Hogsmeade during this weekend to solve all these things at once.

Meow, the monthly tickets will be doubled in the next two days! Don't save them, give them to Xiaodi... otherwise it will expire.
