Chapter 1373 Trials

The handwriting that the Half-Blood Prince left on the book was very small, very dense, and very scribbled.

A little recognition was fine if there was enough time, not so much time in Potions class.

In fact, not only Ron, but even Ivan and Hermione struggled to see it, and it took a lot of effort.

Of all of them, only Harry could easily recognize...

It had to be said that there was a natural connection between him and Snape.

On the premise that Aiwen didn't take the initiative to say it, they also had speculation about the identity of the half-blood prince.

Hermione thought the Half-Blood Prince was a girl because the handwriting didn't look like a boy's.

Of course, she was very impatient when she said these words, and I hope Harry will stop saying the above content

After multiple "failures" in Potions, her strategy now was to try not to talk about that textbook.

Ivan also noticed that she has been spending more and more time on potions recently.

There were a few nights when Hermione offered to accompany him to brew potions instead of reading in the library.

Harry disagreed with Hermione's speculation. He thought that since it was called "Half-Blood Prince", it couldn't be a girl.

But when Harry said this, he wasn't quite sure.

Because he also told Ivan that the half-blood prince gave him a familiar feeling, very familiar...

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

According to Ivan's speculation, Harry was probably thinking, could it be her mother who left this textbook?

Unlike Harry, who spent most of his energy on Quidditch, during this time, Ivan studied the textbook carefully, adding notes on almost every page, and there were only a few things related to potion making. small portion.

The remainder of the text contained some instructions, spells of Snape's own making up.

There are still some, which Aiwen did not study to understand, including some ancient runes, runes, complex formulas, etc.

The last part may be Snape's personal emotional record.

Just like a diary, he recorded his feelings in the sixth and seventh grades, but in a more subtle way.

With his understanding of what happened back then, Aiwen can probably understand a small part of it.

There are some contents in it. It can be inferred that he is expressing his dissatisfaction with Harry's father James, Sirius and others. Mother Lily's love is the same.

On the above, Snape also unreservedly expressed his admiration for that person and his recognition over the years.

Like most Slytherin students of that era, Snape was an avid would-be Death Eater, honored to serve Voldemort.

Putting these aside, just the improvement of the potion formula has benefited Aiwen a lot.

After reading this book, he realized that there are many potion ingredients that can be processed in this way.

There are also improvements in the production process and methods that are a bit inexplicable and unimaginable no matter how you think about them, but the effect is surprisingly good.

Apart from experimenting and modifying over and over again, Ivan really has no way to imagine how Snape thought of these back then.

Because of this "Advanced Potion Making", Aiwen's study and life arrangements were very tight in the first week of school.

Now, even Elaine rarely bothered him now, and she might have been intimidated by Hermione's review method.

The expression on her face when she looked at the two thick stacks of books in front of her was very unforgettable...

When breakfast was on Saturday morning, Elaine still joined Ivan and Hermione.

"There's a Quidditch tryout this morning!" she said. "You two won't be so obsessed with reading that you'll forget to watch it, will you?"

Elaine also signed up for the Gryffindor Quidditch Trials, competing for the Chaser position.

Elaine's flying is still good, but she still needs to strengthen her understanding of the basics of Quidditch.

"Don't worry, we will definitely go to see it, have you adapted to the new broom?" Ivan asked.

"To be honest, the broom you designed is too bulky and not suitable for me at all." Elaine said bluntly, "Not only me, but even Ginny thinks so. But don't worry about me, I never I borrowed the Firebolt from Harry. I like this kind of broom better. If you are selected by the team, you can consider buying one. Ginny said that the Firebolt has a new model this year. I saw the promotional poster, the new Firebolt The performance has been improved a lot, which is perfect.”

Yeah, the price is perfect too, it's ridiculously high...

Aiwen felt that Elaine might not know what he was talking about. Where did she get so much money for the latest model of Firebolt?

This guy is still paying for the food bought by Ivan, and Keresis doesn't care at all.

He was relieved that Elaine would be taken care of by Ivan, and Keresis would be gone.

How can he feel at ease if he doesn't even pay for living expenses? Is it my uncle...

Aiwen sighed, Felicity Potion, new Firebolt, no matter how you look at it, he will spend a lot of money this Christmas.

Looking up at the rainy ceiling, he suddenly felt that today might not be the right day for Quidditch trials.

The same is true for the spectators, who will be sitting in the cold and damp stands in the rain for a while.

At this moment, compared with Elaine's relaxed expression, Ron on the other side of the table was obviously much more nervous.

That expression reminded Ivan of the situation when Ron participated in the competition for the first time last semester.

That's what he was, and needless to say, that match against Slytherin turned out to be a nightmare.

Weasley is our king is the favorite song of the Slytherin students.

"Come on, Ron, can you relax, you played Quidditch for a whole year last year!"

"It's different this time. The number of people who signed up for the selection this year is more than four times that of last year, and many of them are very good." Ron said.

"Strange, I don't know why the team has suddenly become so popular!" Harry agreed, looking at the long registration list in his hand.

He is also a little nervous, this is his first test after becoming captain.

"Come on, Harry!" said Hermione, "don't you get it? It's not Quidditch that's popular, it's you! You've never been more interesting, frankly, you It's never been more likable."

"What?"

"Now everyone knows you're telling the truth, right? The entire wizarding world has to admit that your news about Voldemort's return is true, and that you've actually fought him twice in the past two years, Narrowly escaped death twice. Now they call you 'the savior', what, now you don't understand why people are obsessed with you?"

"But it's not just me, but Ivan..."

"Yeah, and Ivan, he is considered to be Dumbledore's successor and the candidate with the most potential to become a powerful wizard." Hermione said impatiently, "Like you, he is also very popular, Ivan It was also very popular among students before, so I have received so many love letters recently..."

"Hmm, love letter?" Harry blinked, feeling that the topic was going in a strange direction!

That's right, Ivan has received a lot of those love letters recently... 10
