Chapter 1015 Where Did You Go Last Night?
?
"boom!"
Snape stepped down from the podium, slapped the desk on the desk, and made a loud noise. All of a sudden, the classroom where no one was talking at first became completely silent.
However, Luna, who was sitting behind that desk, just raised her head in a daze, then squinted her eyes and showed a puzzled expression at Snape standing beside her.
"Oh, Professor Snape..." she greeted inarticulately, "good morning?"
Perhaps it was because Luna's performance really hit everyone's point of laughter, even though it was still in Snape's class, many people couldn't help but secretly laughed.
"Quiet!"
Snape looked around coldly for a week, then lowered his eyes to look at Luna again.
"Miss Lovegood, since you think it's still morning... after class, don't eat lunch, stay in the classroom and read the part about resisting the Imperius Curse in Chapter 9 of "Encountering a Faceless Monster" Copy it three times before speaking!"
"That's not okay?" Luna pursed her lips and said pitifully, "There is creme brulee for lunch today! I saw it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the auditorium this morning..."
"Humph."
Snape completely ignored Luna's intentions, turned around and walked to the podium. Luna looked at his back, then blinked at the students next to him, with a bit of confusion in her eyes.
"what should I do?"
As soon as she said those words, the laughter that Snape stopped just now sounded again, making Snape suddenly turn around again.
"I said, be quiet!" he snapped. "If anyone wants to stay with Miss Lovegood, let me know by raising their hands, and I'll do it!"
As someone who hasn't slept all night, Snape is obviously much better than Luna - not only can't see any changes on the surface, even the warning words to the students are the same as usual , full of powerful irony.
That's right, Luna also spent the night in London last night, and was sent back by Aberforth until dawn.
To be honest, she still couldn't find Maca quickly last night. But with Aberforth's help,
It was a blessing that she had avoided the Aurors who were also prowling London several times.
Otherwise, if Luna was wandering alone in London, she would have been spotted by the Aurors long ago. If that's the case, the outcome of waiting for her is probably either sent back to Hogwarts to Professor McGonagall, or sent directly to the Ministry of Magic.
"It seems..." Luna finally muttered, "The creme brulee is going away from me."
...
Compared with Luna, who searched all night but found nothing, Hermione, who was facing the rune array map underground in Black's old house, finally had some results.
Um, no! Maybe not yet.
Right now, while Luna was lamenting the midday pudding in Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hermione was rarely bowing her head in Slughorn's Potions class.
She is about the same as Luna, and she didn't attend much class today.
Of course, this wasn't trying to catch up on the sleep she missed last night—under the care of Lupine and others, she still had some time to rest before breakfast when she returned to school.
The reason why Hermione didn't speak actively as usual, and even kept her head down, was actually flipping through a notebook of her own silently.
According to Maca's rune pattern, Hermione collected and organized many rune symbols that resembled Phoenician letters. After that, she compared those symbols with ordinary Phoenician letters, trying to find the connection between those runes and Phoenician letters.
And now, she has discovered three sets of characters that can correspond to each other.
Suddenly, the bell for the end of get out of class came from the corridor outside the classroom, and Hermione, who was still immersed in the artistic conception of runes, suddenly came back to her senses.
"Hermione, get out of class is over!"
"I heard."
After raising her head and nodding to Ron, Hermione packed up her things and stood up with everyone, and left the Potions classroom together.
In the corridor, Harry suddenly turned his head and asked softly:
"It's Hogsmeade Day the day after tomorrow, Hermione... you're going to the old house then, right?"
"Well," Hermione nodded immediately, "I finally made some progress, I'm definitely going, sorry."
"No no, why are you apologizing?" said Harry. "I just wanted to ask—do you think we should all go to London when you're gone?"
To be honest, Hermione can actually understand Harry's mood. If she hadn't joined the work of the Order of the Phoenix now, she would probably be more anxious than Harry.
It might be possible to sneak out of the secret passage at night!
but……
"I don't think so," Hermione shook her head and said, "You should also know that there are quite a few Aurors searching for London now. If you go, it is very unlikely that you will meet them. What's more, tomorrow will be a phantom Appearance class, when the time comes..."
As she spoke, Hermione glanced behind her, and she looked at the figure of Ron who was discussing the potion ratio with Neville.
"...I'm worried that Ron will be under more pressure then. After all, he is the only one of the three of us who hasn't learned Apparation in advance."
Disapparation is a very difficult spell, and its characteristics make it difficult for young wizards to practice without the help of experienced professors.
However, with the support of Maca's potion, the danger of splitting caused by the failure of revealing is no longer a problem.
However, it is obviously not enough to have the ability to practice without a place to practice.
Since the entire Hogwarts space has been firmly reinforced, no one can practice the Apparition Charm here without the headmaster temporarily lifting it.
Therefore, not to mention Harry, who had learned from Sirius earlier, even Hermione and the others had practiced during the last period of the previous Christmas holiday.
There is no doubt that this spell is difficult, but it will naturally add a lot of convenience to everyone's actions after learning it.
It's a pity that Ron couldn't practice until the beginning of school after all.
"So, if Ron still can't do it tomorrow, you and Neville will take the potion on Hogsmeade Day and help Ron continue to practice!" Hermione whispered, "I should have gone too ..."
"It's okay," Harry said, "I see. Your suggestion is correct, it's better to let Ron learn to speak, so that we can also—"
"What are you talking about?"
Suddenly, Ron's voice sounded from behind the two of them, which startled them.
"Oh, no...it's nothing," Harry said with a dry smile, "I'm asking Hermione to lend me the notes from the Potions class just now, you know, the working principle of the euphoria potion..."
"Huh?" Ron suddenly looked puzzled, "Didn't Hermione study ancient runes in potions class? And I said, you didn't listen well in class, did you? The euphoria was already taught in the last class It's over!"
"Oh, is it...?"
Harry turned his head in embarrassment, wanting Hermione to answer Ron's words for him, but to his surprise, Hermione had already taken a step ahead and headed for the auditorium.
Seeing this, he had to turn around again, and squeezed a stiff smile at Ron.
"Hmm...Look, it's no wonder Hermione is angry again, ha..."
"Why are you still laughing, then hurry up and apologize!"
Ron took Harry's shoulders and pushed him towards the side door of the auditorium. It was only when he passed the bulletin board in the hall that his eyes lingered on a certain notice for a few seconds, and then he silently looked away.
It was a big notice that had been posted on the bulletin board since the beginning of this semester. The content of the announcement was naturally the 12-week apparition course, and the teachers were sent by the Apparition Testing Center of the Ministry of Magic.
In fact, even though he had been talking to Neville just now, he still heard a fragment of the conversation between Harry and Hermione.
Although he didn't hear it all, just the words "Apparition" and "Ron" allowed him to guess what the two of them had said.
But even if Ron was indeed frustrated that he hadn't been able to Apparate yet, he wasn't as stressed out as Hermione imagined.
how to say? Is it because I am used to being a beat slower than the two of them?
Shaking his head, Ron pushed Harry into the auditorium together, and took his seat at the old Gryffindor table.
At this time, on the faculty bench at the other end of the auditorium, Slughorn was looking curiously at the empty seat at the edge of the long table.
"Where's Severus?"
"I don't know," said Professor Sprout, "maybe still in the office?"
But they didn't know that Snape wasn't actually in the office right now, but remained in his Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.
with Luna.
...
"Miss Lovegood, that's all right, stop writing!"
Luna, who was engrossed in copying the textbook, suddenly stopped the tip of her pen when she heard Snape's voice in front of her, then raised her head in doubt.
"What's the matter, Professor Snape?" She looked at the professor who was still standing on the podium, and said in a daze, "I haven't finished copying the first time yet!"
"I know," Snape said calmly, "You answer me a question, and if you get the answer right, you can just copy it once."
Luna immediately nodded again and again, as if she saw the creme brulee that had gone away reappear in front of her. At this moment, she was twisting her smooth and sweet body, waving at her!
"Oh! That's really great!" she said quickly, "What's the problem?"
Snape waved his hand and asked succinctly:
"It's very simple, I just want to know - what did you do when you left Hogwarts so late last night?"
