Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue Chapter 886

At the same time, the other side.

"Okay, okay, don't be sad, Hermione."

Elena held a grilled sausage and gestured in front of the little beaver, trying to attract her attention.

"That big bat is nonsense. He can't instigate our friendship. The clear one is clear. We are not as nasty as he said-you see that Harry has not listened to the instigation, don't care..."

Since they came out of Snape's office, Hermione has been silent a lot during the afternoon spell class.

Obviously, Hermione Granger was quite concerned about Snape's last words.

"But, I do have that kind of thought..."

Hermione still had some redness around her eyes, and she fiddled with the beef on the plate in a daze, whispering.

"I saw Harry and Draco beat us in the potions class a couple of times ago. I was indeed... really jealous, so..."

"It's okay, it will be nice to win them next time!"

Elena patted her chest confidently.

"The times are advancing. It is impossible to surpass the development of cutting-edge potions based on past knowledge alone-this weekend you will go to school with me for further studies, and we can definitely return to the first place after we come back!

As for the "Half-Blood Prince", eh... "Madam"?

After finally coaxing Hermione, Elena glanced meaningfully at the faculty seat.

Now, she finally understood Professor Snape's previous plan.

Since her peers don't have a little wizard who can beat her, they simply put on a vest and pretended to be the geniuses of the past, through frustration education, to tell them the truth of "there are people outside, and there are heaven outside the sky"?

"Is this...fighting in the air? It's interesting."

Elena raised her eyebrows, her eyes flashed with excitement, and she hummed softly.

"This vain pride, this purpose is funny, I actually know that you just want to show off... How strong is this number one, don't ask, someone must challenge you..."

Due to time constraints, she has not been able to read the "Magic Potion and Potion" carefully, but she has roughly flipped through it from beginning to end and found that "Half-Blood Prince" has added notes on almost every page.

Those notes are all related to potion making and potion processing, without any superfluous spells or words.

There is no doubt that this is a carefully compiled supplementary material.

From the information Snape revealed, it was obvious that he was simply planning to graft the pseudonym "Half-Blood Prince" onto Lily Potter, and he also deliberately guided them to guess like this.

However, there are still several small loopholes in this plan.

"You like acting, don't you? I'll help you perfect it..."

Elena looked at the faculty seat thoughtfully. It was extremely rare that Snape was whispering something with Slughorn. Not surprisingly, it should be to solve the hidden danger of handwriting identification.

"Professor Lupin, Professor Black...well, Slughorn doesn't seem to worry anymore."

In fact, the way she said in the office was just to cheat Snape.

Not to mention that there are many differences between homework and class notes. If you are not a professional handwriting expert, it is difficult to accurately pinpoint suspects in thousands of manuscripts-more importantly, when Snape forged handwriting Use magic writing, and will inevitably avoid writing on the blackboard during class.

It's not surprising, otherwise if Harry glanced at the blackboard in the potions class, everything would be gone.

On the other hand, with Horace Slughorn's character, it is unlikely that he will generously take out the treasured student work to help in the identification-unless the other party can give a reason or price that cannot be refused.

Faced with the threat of social death, Snape would definitely figure out a way.

"By the way, Hermione, when is our next black magic defense?"

Elena retracted her gaze from the faculty seat and suddenly asked in a soft voice curiously.

Since binding with Miss "Calculator Ji" this semester, she has long since lost the habit of carrying class schedules. She can't find a way anyway. The lovely Hermione Granger will help her arrange everything.

"The next black magic defense? The first two classes tomorrow afternoon."

Hermione answered casually while cutting her steak intently.

"Let's say it first, I don't have time to play chess with you lately... Luna and Qiu's courses are too complicated. I have to find a way to finish my homework in class before I have time to help them with homework. ."

"Tutoring homework? You probably won't have a chance for that class tomorrow..."

Elena shrugged and glanced casually at the pale pink toad in the distance.

As one of the setters of Hogwarts' new curriculum standards, she naturally knew about the next teaching changes in the Defence Against the Dark Arts course early on. They will be taken over by Professor Lupin after two classes a week.

According to the purchase application sent by Professor Lu Ping, the following courses are quite interesting.

At the same time, Hogwarts faculty and staff table.

"Professor Snape, your request..."

Slughorn held the goblet, looked at the black-haired wizard beside him, pondering the sentence with some embarrassment.

"Indeed, I keep some homework from your school days, but most of them are for me to recall the past of Hogwarts. If you only want your own, but..."

"My personal storage cabinet, three materials, you can choose freely."

Snape said softly, looking at the old walrus blankly.

"Oh, it's not a matter of materials, Severus."

Slughorn shook his fingers and explained seriously.

"Just as I replied at the beginning, if you just want your own things, I can naturally keep them all for you... But if it's Lily Evans, well, you know... it's been me all these years My favorite student, she was once one of the best potion assistants in my mind."

"Oh? I thought you only admire those celebrities—"

"No, no, I mean... I need a potion assistant, Professor Snape."

Slughorn pondered for a moment, then smiled and said softly.

"As an elderly guy, I am not short of materials, wealth, and contacts. I now hope to return to the field of potions and leave some traces of mine in this world—for example, something like Something like wolf poison potion can be passed down in textbooks."

The chubby potion master looked at Snape meaningfully.

"You are very young, Severus, do you think if you are wholeheartedly'helping', do I have a chance to develop amazing, unpublished new potions this year?"

"...An unpublished new potion."

Snape repeated it softly, his eyes on the wrinkles on the old man's face for a moment.

In the potions research community, there are not many gossips about Slughorn.

As the longest-serving potion professor at Hogwarts, the most embarrassing thing about this old man may be that apart from his teaching ability, he has never had any results in potions research.

There are many speculations about the reasons, and the most reliable is the story of the sequelae of the "fulingji".

"I understand, I will help you complete your research results."

Snape nodded calmly and said softly.

"But before that, I want to see those assignments first. This is the basis of cooperation—"

"No problem, happy cooperation!"

Slughorn's chubby face showed a bright smile.

Just paying for some old work that has no real effect other than the collection value can be exchanged for the naming rights of the new potion. This can be said to be the most cost-effective exchange in his life.

The crumbs accompanied by the sweet pudding disappeared into the plate, and the dinner was over.

The senior students cannot return to the dormitory to rest for the time being. There is still a big class on their class schedule. With the implementation of the Hogwarts new curriculum standard, every student's class schedule is fully arranged.

The students and the professor stood up and started pouring out of the auditorium.

At the long Gryffindor table, a crowd of melon-eating lions looked at Harry excitedly.

"Go on, Harry, the professor is leaving," Ron whispered.

"Wait until Professor Snape is gone," Harry said, "Okay..."

Harry hurried forward, stopping Sirius and Lupin before they disappeared on the porch.

"What's wrong, Harry? Hmm... Did Snape make things difficult for you in Potions class?"

Before he could speak, Sirius stopped, and when his eyes fell on the old textbook in Harry's hands, he couldn't help frowning, "Didn't I buy you a whole new set of textbooks? How come this is happening... "

"Uh-Sirius, I mean, uh, Professor Black..."

Harry glanced at Professor Lupin who was standing beside Sirius, and said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, Remus is not an outsider. If it weren't for... well, I'm a little more handsome, maybe he is your godfather now. Apart from Lily, he was the only one who could control James back then."

Sirius Black took Lupin's shoulder and said with a smile.

Lupin rolled his eyes at Sirius helplessly, turned his head, and said softly.

"Is there any problem? Harry."

"Some time ago, I accidentally broke the textbook when I was making up a class with Professor Snape, so Professor Snape asked me to take an old book from the closet—no, no, I was not caught by Snape. The professor bullies. Although the professor usually looks cold, we all know that he is a good person."

Good guy?

Can Snape have such adjectives?

Sirius and Lupin exchanged strange glances.

Although they didn't know why Dumbledore trusted Snape so much, they wouldn't believe that the lonely guy would really get better. The Death Eaters were Death Eaters, at best it was just a temporary pretense.

"In fact, this book contains a lot of useful potions knowledge. With its help, my potions grades have improved a lot this semester. The problem is, the author of this book..."

Harry held up the "Magic Potion and Potion", his voice trembling slightly.

"I doubt that this is my mother's old textbook-Percy said, if it's Sirius, you might be able to help us tell if this is my mother's old textbook..."

"Well, Lily's old textbook?"

Lupin took the textbook from Harry, and smiled kindly at him.

"This is indeed our negligence. Later, I will find a way to help you find some pictures of James and Lily. If possible, I will help you ask if there are any letters, notes, classmates..."

"Ah, really!" Harry said in surprise, "I thought everything was taken by Voldemort--"

"Oh-Voldemort didn't have the energy to destroy James and Lily's house. He didn't even have time to escape at that time. Speaking of which, you reminded me. I will ask Professor Dumbledore later, if possible, see if he can. I can't take a day off and take you back to that place to see James and Lily..."

Sirius snorted disdainfully and tilted his head to look at the old textbook in Lupin's hand.

"How about it, is it Lily's handwriting, Remus?"

He glanced at the dense, upright handwriting in the blank area of the textbook, and dazzled it to see that it was indeed a bit like Lily's handwriting-Sirius' impression of Lily's handwriting only remained when he was copying homework.

"I can only say that it looks like..."

Lupin frowned slightly, and he turned to the cover and took a look.

"This is the second-year potions textbook at Hogwarts~www.mtlnovel.com~Sirius. Don't forget, Lily didn't have a good face for you guys at that time-but I was a little impressed with some of the operations in it. "

He closed the old "Magic Potion and Potion" and returned it to Harry again.

"So, Harry..."

Looking at Harry looking expectant, Lupin thought for a few seconds, and said with some uncertainty.

"About the name "Half-Blood Prince", I have never heard Lily mention it before, but there are many ways to deal with potions mentioned in the book that only Lily knows. I am not very good at potions, especially those Skills that are not recorded in the textbook, and I can't give you much advice..."

Harry nodded excitedly, carefully putting "Mom's old textbook" into his school bag.

As for what Lupin said later, Harry couldn't listen at all.

He just wanted to go back to the Gryffindor common room as soon as possible and read this old "Magic Potion and Potion" from beginning to end, without missing any notes.

By the way, it's best to purchase some magic for maintenance and page binding!

After so many years, the joints of the spine of the book have become loose, and there are many cracks and curls on the pages of the book. If it is not repaired properly, it may be broken in a short time.

"mom……"

Harry looked at the small line of [This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince] on the back cover and muttered.

This may be what the eldest sister Elena once said, although those who love them so deeply may die one day, love will not disappear, it is just a different form of accompanying them.

And this old textbook may be one of them...

Great!
