Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 655: Dessert tasting meeting

"...Well, what the old man Slughorn thinks, I don't understand at all! The reward for the course is definitely yours, isn't it? Hermione?"

One day after school started at noon, in the Gryffindor common room, Ron was holding a book and complaining lazily as he read it. And just around the table where he was, Harry and Hermione were doing their own things.

"It's not really the last moment, no one knows what the result will be. If you work harder, maybe the prize will go to you..." Hermione scribbled something on the parchment, her head Don't lift the authenticity.

Actually, Ron doesn't really care about the rewards, because he is at least very clear about his abilities now. Students in the "good" potions class like him are already lucky to be able to attend the class. At the moment, he is more appropriate than complaining.

"Speaking of, you won the prize..." Ron turned the book in his hand and said casually, "But seriously, I really don't understand the baldness. What is the old man thinking...what did he say, "The gift for the lady can't be too shabby"... Isn't the prize a potion? What's so shabby or not?"

"Maybe to pack it?" Harry closed the notebook on the desktop, then stretched his waist vigorously. "I remember when Uncle Vernon gave Aunt Maggie some small gifts, he seemed to say something similar. Words?"

"Anyway, I don’t have much interest anyway." Hermione stopped writing and shook the feather of the pen. "Didn’t Professor Slughorn mention it in class? He said that the elixir should not be overdose. Besides, there are some other side effects...Since that is what Maca said, even if there is no basis, I still think it is best not to touch it!"

"But what Slughorn said later, I felt like it was right—" Harry thought for a while, "Luck can't be measured actually. Whether the side effects of the blessing agent exist or not, who I can’t explain it clearly."

"Then tonight, I will not go to the dessert tasting party hosted by Professor Slughorn. Then you can help me find a reason!" Hermione turned her head and glanced at him, "The prize goes to you, too. Now, do you need to figure it out for yourself-anyway, I don’t need it, and I don’t want to use it.

"No, no, Hermione..." Harry said helplessly, "I think you'd better take it this time! You didn't go the time after the exam last semester... You didn't make excuses both times. Isn’t it right?

"I--" Hermione opened her mouth and looked down at the parchment again, and then she reluctantly said, "Um...I think about it, let's talk about it after dinner!"

……

Speaking of the small event held by Slughorn, Maca won’t be missed. Yes, he also received the old man's invitation as in the past, but it is still unknown whether he will be there by then.

At this moment, in the responsive house, the "werewolf statues" that were originally placed in all directions have been unified and placed against the wall, but on the surface of the floor where they were originally, there are faint blue flows. The brilliance of color.

Here is where Maca studies rune patterns and individual rule runes.

The room is still dim. This is to eliminate other unwanted visual disturbances and to observe the formation pattern purely. Right now Maca was squatting in this big formation, his eyes staring at the little rule rune floating in the center for an instant.

Around the spinning rune, the ice crystal fragments flew away lightly, and then slowly fell and disappeared, exuding a clear sense of beauty every moment.

It was so careful, not to miss any moment of gaze, which lasted for several hours, and then Maca stood up and twisted her neck slightly. He was using his own eyes and his ability to sense magic while simultaneously observing the rule itself and the appearance of its runes.

Why does the rule rune actually appear in this stroke? What is the special connection between this and the meaning of the rules? If he can comprehend the connection between the two, then his understanding of the cooling rune may be able to go further.

In this way, you might be able to comprehend another rule rune diametrically opposed to it. And even if it can’t, it’s definitely helpful to understand other rule runes, isn’t it?

In fact, he has already spent a lot of time on this.

After a short rest, Maca crouched down again, and continued to study the cooling rune in the center of the formation.

Actually, he deliberately chose a day when there is no magic lesson this afternoon, so he plans to think about it. But no matter how much time there is, for things like studying rule runes, it is like climbing a ten thousand peak, how can it be calculated by common sense?

In this silence, time seems to be slow and fast passing, bit by bit, silently disappearing between the fingers. When the table deep in the room suddenly made a soft "ding", Maca suddenly stood up and rubbed his face vigorously.

"...is it time to eat? Hmm...I'm really hungry when you say that?"

As he said, with a sudden wave of his hand, the rule rune disappeared instantly, and the blue streamer on the floor also disappeared without wind. As he walked straight to the door, the "werewolf statues" that were leaning against the wall also floated up and fell to their original positions, covering the rune pattern on the ground.

"Click—Boom!"

The door of the House of Requests was closed easily, and it disappeared into the wall behind Maca.

"This kind of research is really time-consuming and laborious...Ah!" As he walked forward, he tilted his head as if thinking of something again, "It seems that Slughorn's dessert is coming tonight. Hmm... Then let’s postpone the post-dinner research for a while! The old man’s network is still very useful..."

Now that there is no urgent crisis, Maca is no longer as rushed as it used to be. The magical road is winding and long, but life is limited. Under the premise that it cannot be accomplished overnight, it is also very important to know how to enjoy life from time to time.

As soon as the meal arrives, the Hogwarts auditorium will become as lively as usual. Seeing this scene where teachers and students gather and enjoy themselves, everyone will feel a sense of warmth rising in their hearts. .

"...After the observation during the beginning of the school period, the class is obviously higher than in the past, especially some of the students..."

When Maca sat on the staff seat, he heard the little Professor Flitwick talking to Professor McGonagall about his views on the little wizards. He also smiled knowingly when several familiar names appeared from the other's mouth.

Hermione and others are of course one of several names specifically named by Flitwick. Maca knew that the words he had said in the ward were working properly.

The almost conclusive conclusion about "Voldemort will be resurrected" can bring a sense of crisis to everyone present at the time; and a suitable resurrection period can allow everyone to properly convert that sense of crisis into a driving force for progress. During the current safe transition period, it is a good thing that they can steadily improve.

"It's a pity that they can't actually sense the magic, otherwise the practical content of the magic text can be deepened a lot... It's really a pity..."

While thinking, he was enjoying tonight’s food, feeling that this kind of life is indeed very good.

"McLean, haven't I forgotten my little event for a while? I really hope you have time to come, this time I asked Ambrosio to get me some new sweet varieties, in the store But I don’t have to sell it!"

Slughorn, who was sitting several seats away, suddenly poked his head out and suddenly interrupted Maca's thoughts. Maca didn't mind at all, but just nodded.

"Of course, I will pass..." He smiled and said, "Several professors, don't you go together?"

"Oh, I actually invited them too, but—"

"That's not appropriate," Flitwick said in his sharp voice. "Slughorn invited a lot of students. If we guys go, they will definitely be uncomfortable."

"Look at it!" Slughorn said, "Actually, I want to say that the professor should mix with the students. This will also be of great help to the teaching!"

"That's not necessarily," Snape interjected when the old man said so, "I admit, you can use this method to achieve results, but it doesn't mean that everyone can use it. To me, those students are usually too slack~IndoMTL.com~ It took seven full years to learn only so little things."

Maca couldn't help but smile secretly when he heard the words-it was obvious that even Snape could hardly deny Slughorn's ability. But his philosophy is completely different from that of the old man, so it will inevitably be unconvincing.

"Right," Maca thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "I can roughly understand the situation in the senior year, but what about the freshmen this year? You know, my course is an elective subject. I don’t know much yet! Can you talk about it, professors?

His words reminded all the major professors a bit, and he obviously compared the freshmen horizontally in their hearts.

"It's not bad to have three students," said Professor McGonagall. "Everyone in the first grade is still in contact and adapting. This stage is the easiest way to show the difference in talent. Sarah Ravenclaw Hornheim, Hufflepuff’s Ens Tavon, and Gryffindor’s Alexander Wolf-these children are all worth looking forward to."

Speaking of this, McGonagall paused, and finally added: "Of course, talent is not everything. Every student deserves our energy to guide them on the right path."
