Chapter 863 Half-Blood Prince? I Have Heard!

"How did you do it? It's impossible!"

Draco Malfoy grabbed Harry and asked seriously.

Near the end of Potions class, Neville's pot of potion had almost turned light yellow, and it didn't smell as pungent and spicy.

Judging from Professor Snape's final rating and performance, it is clear that Harry succeeded in saving Neville.

You know, saving a magic potion that is on the verge of failure is much more difficult than brewing a perfect pot of potion again.

It was difficult for Draco to judge which of these two seemingly impossible things was more difficult, 'Gryffindor got extra points in Potions class' or 'Reversing the failed potion in a quarter of an hour' - because just now In class, Harry did it all - with Professor Snape's pretentious "Five points from Gryffindor", almost everyone in the class applauded.

However, as a close friend, Draco Malfoy knew very well that this was not the level of potions Harry should have.

During the last summer vacation, he and Harry lived together in Uncle Black's old house for a month. Maybe Harry did have some extraordinary talent in potions, but he was far from reaching this professor-level level.

"Alright alright……"

When the students around him were almost gone, Harry spread his hands helplessly and roughly explained the whole story.

Anyway, there wasn't much of a problem. Draco also knew that he would go to Professor Snape from time to time to make up lessons. Although it was a bit embarrassing to break the Potions textbook clumsily, Harry didn't think there was anything wrong with the subsequent repairs.

What's more, this old textbook was also one that Professor Snape asked him to take randomly from the pile of old textbooks in the cabinet.

Harry winked at Draco Malfoy with some pride and tried to speak calmly.

"...No, that's about it. You're pretty lucky, right?"

"What a good luck, ha,"

Draco Malfoy's face gradually became serious and gloomy as he listened to his statement.

"You look like you think I cheated, right?"

Harry was a little annoyed by the expression on Draco's face, and subconsciously asked him after he finished speaking.

"Yeah, you're not really sure about completing that, are you?"

Draco raised his eyebrows, his face was cold, and he said in a stiff tone.

"I thought you were more mature and you might get into big trouble, right? The most important thing is, it's been so long since school started. If I hadn't asked you, how long would you have kept it a secret from us? The professor must not know that either Weird notes, right?”

“I just borrowed a few different operating methods, it wasn’t a big deal.”

Harry waved his hand a little irritably, as if he didn't intend to continue discussing this topic.

"What's wrong, Draco, are you going to expose me to Professor Snape - then go ahead. In this way, you can help eldest sister Elena regain her number one position, right? Would you do this?"

"You know I wouldn't do this-"

Draco Malfoy's pale face turned slightly red and he said coldly.

"It's just that I'm worried about something else now, Harry... So, you have been following the instructions of a stranger in the past month? Strange, unverified notes that appeared in the notebook ?”

He looked anxious and angry.

Harry didn't know what he had encountered this semester, so naturally he didn't understand the worries in his heart.

Every Thursday night, Draco Malfoy goes to a mysterious room in Hogwarts, and under the protection of a group of the top wizards in the wizarding world today, he carefully writes the contents in a magical diary— -If necessary, Draco will even enter the memories of Voldemort's youth to analyze and complete some designated experimental tasks.

"Listen, Harry, you must be wary of unfamiliar magic books in the wizarding world..."

Draco Malfoy thought for a few seconds and said with great seriousness.

"For example, take the most famous cursed book "The Wizard's Sonnets". Anyone who has read that book will only be able to speak in five-line limericks for the rest of their lives. Some books may burn your eyes out directly, and some may burn your eyes out. There are evil spirits hidden in books, and some may even take away your body and soul..."

"It's nothing, Draco. It's just an old textbook that has been scribbled on. It doesn't have any magical power."

Harry glanced suspiciously at his suddenly nervous friend and shrugged uncomfortably.

"Not to mention that I have been reading it for a month, and besides, I just tried a few tips written in the margins of the book. To be honest, Draco, some of the content in it was also written by Professor Snape during class. I’ve told you before, so there’s nothing strange about it——”

"Draco has a point."

At this moment, Hermione's voice came to their ears.

"Maybe we should check it out to see if there's anything wrong with it. I mean, that doesn't make sense, does it? If this is really a Potions Master's textbook, why don't we see it in the bookstore? book?"

"Then, judging from the results, there are only three possibilities..."

Hermione Granger raised her fingers and counted them softly and confidently.

"The wizard died before he could become famous. The wizard degenerated into a dark wizard. Or, there was a fatal mistake in the wizard's theory, so he failed to become famous in the end -"

"In short, just give it a try first and you will know."

"Hey!"

Harry protested somewhat angrily. Before he could react, Draco pulled out the book "Magic Potions and Potions" from Harry's bag and raised his wand as if he was holding a sharp dagger.

"The original shape appears immediately! Restore to the original state!"

Draco tapped the cover crisply and read solemnly.

This is a little trick Professor Gilderoy Lockhart taught him. This magic can be very effective in detecting camouflage.

"Just like hunting in the forest, if a dark wizard intends to seduce others, he will definitely put a disguise on the magic book. Perhaps this spell cannot break the curse, but it can trigger corresponding magic fluctuations."

Nothing happened.

The textbook is still a textbook, old, dirty, and the corners are rolled up.

"Oh, Draco, that's not enough..."

Hermione Granger seemed to suddenly become interested, took out her wand and clicked it.

"All curses are over! Reveal your secret! Text transformation! Drive away evil spirits! Super small stick..."

Still nothing happened.

Even in the face of Hermione's ultra-small dose of explosion curse, apart from a small shallow pit exploding on the worn book cover, there was no expected magical phenomenon - this made Erin who was following behind to watch the fun. Na was slightly disappointed.

"Is it over?" Harry asked angrily, "Do you still want to wait and see if it will do a few back rolls?"

"It looks fine," Draco Malfoy said, still staring at the textbook suspiciously. "I mean, it does look like... just a regular old textbook with some weird notes on it."

"Good, then I'll take it back."

Harry said, about to reach out and take the textbook back from Draco Malfoy's hand.

However, the textbook did not return to his hands.

They saw the old textbook suddenly trembling, fluttering like a flying bird and unfolding in mid-air, and finally stopped on the last page of the back cover. They saw a few lines of small, dense handwriting at the bottom of the back cover. .

Exactly the same as those messy, small handwritings in the margins of the textbook.

"This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince"

…

"I see, is this book also written by the Half-Blood Prince?"

Elena stretched out her hand to wave, and spoke softly in a rather strange tone.

The next moment, the old textbook hanging in mid-air fell into her hands like a swallow returning to its nest. Since stimulating the Veela's magical bloodline, she has become very proficient in this simplest silent flying spell.

She could easily manipulate a simple, lightweight object like a book at such a close distance.

If it were normal times, such magic skills without fireworks would definitely attract many envious eyes.

However, at this special moment, the three young wizards present were all focused on the girl's words.

"Wait! Yes, too?"

"Do you know who this is?"

"Half-Blood Prince?"

Hermione, Draco and Harry reacted quickly and asked in unison.

"Unfortunately, I don't know exactly, but I happened to read another one——"

Elena tapped on the old textbook that looked a bit old, with a look of interest flashing in her eyes. ,

I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it...

Never would I have imagined that the respected Professor Snape also has a unique skill in "darkening antiques".

This makes Elena quite a bit surprised and surprised, but it is not impossible after careful study. You must know that the process of brewing potions is inherently a delicate job, and the relationship between antique making and pharmacy is also quite complicated. close.

Of course, as a kind-hearted "prophet", she would not reveal the answer to the mystery directly.

"Well, let me think about it...ah, by the way, I remember it!"

Elena pretended to think in distress for a few seconds, then patted her forehead gently.

"Harry, do you remember that I told you before that I saw a record about your mother in a certain book? The title of that book seemed to say Half-Blood Prince... But I don't I remember exactly where I put it..."

"Hey! Yes, I remembered it. Sister, you seemed to have said that before!"

Harry Potter was stunned for a moment, his eyes quickly brightening.

"Sister Elena, do you think it will happen, will it happen..."

He glanced at the old textbook with some excitement, and a certain idea began to flow out uncontrollably.

"What I want to say is, do you think the author of this book is my father?! Mr. Hagrid said that my parents were very good when they were in Hogwarts, and the Half-Blood Prince knew my mother. ,If this happens……"

"Maybe, but I suggest you don't rush to recognize your father. This is not good."

Elena's mouth twitched and she glanced at Harry helplessly.

This kid's mind is really bad. If James Potter was still alive, he would beat this unfilial son to death.

etc--

It seems to make everything more interesting——

Just when Elena was subconsciously preparing to deny it, the little demon soul in her mind suddenly danced.

If Lily's son starts calling him "half-blood prince" as his father, will the cold-faced, warm-hearted and conscientious prince agree or not? Should we deny it outright?

This seems to be a very subtle and exciting question!

"So, why not just ask Professor Snape?"

Elena's voice suddenly became excited, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

Fortunately, on the other hand, she could also take a closer look at the "Half-Blood Prince"'s arrangements for this matter - these things were really too strange and weird, and they must be quite interesting.

"Eh?! Just ask Professor Snape?!"

Harry was slightly startled and glanced at the old textbook with some reluctance.

Over the past month, he had unswervingly followed the advice in this "potion secret book".

Judging from the current results, with his operational guidance and seriousness, he may even have a chance to shake the dominance of Elena and Hermione - even if there are elements of reference in this, the final operation will ultimately be completed by him. Yes.

"Don't worry, I won't be jealous of your notebook. It is destined to be yours."

As if she guessed Harry's thoughts, Elena glanced at the little boy meaningfully.

"I'm just curious, well, the same as you. And I don't think Professor Snape will reprimand you. This is what he asked you to choose. Honesty and frankness do not deserve blame. This is a very precious thing. Courage and character.”

"On the other hand, since you are not 100% sure whether the content in this book is correct, why not just ask the professor and ask for his opinion? If there are not too many omissions, and it is indeed beneficial to your study If it helps, I think the professor might allow you to keep this book as an extracurricular reference... What do you think?"
