Chapter 460 One week

Mike ignored Franklin and walked straight towards the Ravenclaw lounge.

He did such an extreme thing in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class just now and was not even imprisoned. This is really a lucky thing, so now he just wants to leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom quickly to prevent Snay

Pu suddenly remembered this matter.

However, when he arrived at the door of the Ravenclaw lounge, he found that Harry and the three of them were already waiting here.

"Mike!"*3

"Is something wrong? Everyone."

Harry and others looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Hermione gritted her teeth and stood up and said:

"That's right, Mike. Where did the "Advanced Potion Making" you gave Harry come from? Why have all the potion recipes in it been modified?"

After saying that, before Mike could answer, Ron asked again:

"Oh! The key is, are the recipes above really better than those taught by Professor Slughorn at the beginning?"

Hermione immediately rolled her eyes at Ron as soon as she said this, but Ron didn't care. At this moment, he was waiting for Mike's answer with his eyes wide open.

"First of all, what I want to say is..." Mike said with a smile, "Ron, you guessed it right, the modified formula in the "Advanced Potion Making" is indeed better and more convenient than the original formula in the textbook!

"

Upon hearing this, Ron and Harry burst into bright smiles, and then they cheered and hugged each other.

Mike understood their feelings very well. This "Notes of the Half-Blood Prince" was a precious treasure for anyone, let alone scumbags like Harry and Ron.

Hermione on the side looked unhappy when she heard this. She crossed her arms and stared at Mike angrily, as if she was blaming Mike for giving the book to Harry.

"Don't look at me like that, Hermione." Mike spread his hands and said, "I'm doing this for your own good. This is a good book. Besides, although I gave it to Harry, you can read it to each other, right?

?It’ll be good for you both.”

"That's right! You're absolutely right!"

Ron said excitedly before Hermione could answer.

Hermione glared at Ron again, and then said to Mike:

"You haven't told us where this book came from?"

"I'm sorry that I can't tell you the origin of this book, but you should have noticed the signature on the book, right? Half-Blood Prince."

Everyone nodded.

"What I can tell you is that you all know this half-blood prince, and he is already an old acquaintance of yours."

Mike said with a smirk on his face.

At this moment, even Hermione's face showed a curious look. She frowned and thought for a while before saying:

"You used 'him', which means the original owner of this book was a boy."

"Come on! Hermione!" Harry rolled his eyes and said, "He calls himself the 'Half-blood Prince', how could he be a girl? I would say he must be a half-blood boy."

Hermione smiled awkwardly.

"If you ask me to guess, since the half-blood prince was able to make so many improved formulas when he was a student, his talent in potions must be very outstanding, so he should be a big shot now! It's easy to guess, after all

We don’t know many people with outstanding potion talents.”

"Are you talking about Dumbledore?"

"Dumbledore's grades in Potions were very good when he was a student?"

"Well, I don't know, but I really can't think of anyone else. After all, it can't be Snape, right?"

"Thank you for your joke, I laughed at it."

…

Hermione and Harry had a heated discussion about the identity of the Half-Blood Prince, while Ron looked indifferent. He didn't care who the original owner of the book was. The main thing was that this book could help him in class.

Cheating then it is a good book!

"By the way everyone, maybe you should study the contents of this book carefully. In addition to potion formulas, there are some more useful things worth learning."

Ron's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked directly at Harry, as if he wanted to go back immediately and start researching.

It's a pity that Harry didn't think so. He glanced at Hermione who was still sulking in confusion and said to Mike:

"Mike, you just went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, right?"

Hermione also reacted as soon as this was said. Her eyes widened and she asked curiously:

"By the way, when we passed through the hall before, we also found that the Ravenclaw house point hourglass was missing many gems and was almost empty. What's going on? Did Snape deduct points from you too?"

"Oh, you guessed it right. Snape did do this. He deducted 20 points from Franklin and put him in solitary confinement on Saturday."

"That's not right. The points missing from the Ravenclaw hourglass are more than just 20 points."

"It's true." Mike spread his hands and said, "He also deducted 50 points from me because I made him look embarrassed in class."

"This is not good!" Hermione frowned and said, "Now that the semester has just started, you have already been deducted 70 points. You have to work hard for this year's College Cup."

Mike shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer.

He is now completely indifferent to things like the Academy Cup. In fact, if Hermione hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

Ron and Harry, on the other hand, were very excited. They were very interested in the incident where Snape made a fool of himself, and wanted to hear Mike talk about the specific situation at that time.

It's a pity that Mike doesn't want to do this. In his opinion, this is really nothing to be proud of.

"I was also detained by Snape! Just because he wanted to cast a curse on me in class, and I happened to use armor to protect him!" Harry said happily, "It's just that I didn't use it.

Literally go into detention because I have to go to Dumbledore's on Saturday night."

As soon as these words came out, Mike's brows raised. He very sensitively grasped the key point of Harry's words and asked softly:

"Did Dumbledore say what he wanted to do with you?"

"Well, he didn't say anything in the letter he gave me, but I guess it was about teaching me how to learn Occlumency." Harry said hesitantly, "After all, he had already started teaching me some spells during the summer vacation.

, also mentioned this matter to me."

Hearing this, Hermione and Ron both cast envious looks at Harry. In their opinion, being taught by a legendary wizard like Dumbledore was a supreme honor, while Mike lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Dumbledore's choice to teach Harry in person just shows that his time is running out, and his current strength may have declined to an exaggerated level, which is why he is so anxious.

But compared with the original work, Dumbledore's situation should be pretty good. After all, in this world, Dumbledore did not have to resist other traps set by Voldemort, such as the terrifying Inferi, because he wanted to destroy the Horcruxes.

cave.

Without these hardships, Dumbledore's current physical condition should be enough for him to fight.

Of course, it is estimated that there will only be one battle, after all, excessive use of magic spells will make his injuries worse.

Thinking of this, Mike no longer wanted to continue chatting with Harry and the others.

After saying goodbye to Harry and the others, Mike hurried back to the secret realm of the Freemasons and participated in the work of the Freemasons.

Before the next action begins, he must concentrate all the current strength of the Freemasonry into the secret realm of the Freemasonry. Only in this way can his plan proceed smoothly.

…

Time flies so fast, and a week has passed since I left school in the blink of an eye.

During this week, although the Death Eaters outside were still causing trouble, and the situation was even getting worse, Hogwarts was peaceful.

I don’t know whether Dumbledore’s Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic were too powerful, or whether Voldemort consciously avoided Hogwarts. In short, the students’ lives were not affected in any way.

If the Daily Prophet hadn't been reporting news from all over the country every day, the students at Hogwarts would have almost forgotten the fact that Voldemort had come.

In this short week, Franklin also realized how outrageous his thoughts when choosing courses were.

After abandoning many elective courses, he did have a lot of free time, but at the same time, the number and difficulty of assignments assigned by professors also increased exponentially.

At the same time, not only the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but also Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class and Professor Flitwick's Charms class began to require students to use silent spells in class.

This is embarrassing for everyone.

Today's Ravenclaw lounge is full of sixth-grade students sitting motionless with wands in hand, their faces flushed from suppressing their emotions.

The younger wizards once thought that Slughorn from the Potions class had given these seniors some constipation potion. After some questioning, they learned that these people were practicing silent spells.

The combination of all these factors made Franklin not only lose the so-called free time, but also had to squeeze out some time from his meal breaks to practice silent spells, which also left him with no time to participate in Quidditch.

train.

This was really a tragic thing for Franklin, and it also made him admire his seventh-grade seniors.

The sixth grade alone is already so hard, so wouldn’t the seventh grade be a hell on earth?

Harry's situation is similar to Franklin's. No, it should be said that Harry's situation is even more miserable than Franklin's, because Harry is the captain of this year's Gryffindor Quidditch team, and he is also responsible for the team's overall management.

A series of matters, including newcomer selection and daily training.

This greatly shortened Harry's rest time, and deep dark circles appeared on his face.

And the one with more serious dark circles than Harry was Hermione.
