Chapter 1016

"Bang!"

Snape came down from the podium, slapped on the desk and made a loud noise. Suddenly, there was no one talking in the classroom, and it immediately became silent.

However, Luna, sitting behind the desk, just looked up vaguely, then narrowed her eyes and showed a puzzled expression at Snape standing next to her.

"Oh, Professor Snape..." she greeted vaguely. "Good morning?"

Maybe it's because Luna's performance really poked everyone's laughter. Even if it was still in Snape's class, many people couldn't help laughing secretly.

"Be quiet!"

Snape looked around coldly for a week before he lowered his eyes and looked at Luna again.

"Miss Lovegood, since you think it's still morning... Don't eat lunch after class. Stay in the classroom and say" that's not good? "Luna pursed her mouth and said pitifully," there's caramel pudding for lunch today! I saw it on the bulletin board at the entrance of the auditorium this morning... "

"Hum."

Snape completely ignored Luna's meaning, turned and walked to the podium. Luna looked at his back and blinked at the students next to him. Her eyes showed some confusion.

"What should I do?"

As soon as she said this, the laughter that had just been stopped by Snape sounded again, which made Snape suddenly turn around again.

"I said, be quiet!" he snapped. "If anyone wants to stay with Miss Lovegood, raise your hand and tell me, and I'll agree!"

For the same person who hasn't slept all night, Snape is obviously much better than Luna - not only can't see any change on the surface, but also the words of warning students are full of powerful sarcasm as usual.

Yes, Luna also spent the night in London last night and was not sent back by aberforth until dawn.

To tell the truth, she couldn't find Maka's place very soon last night. But thanks to the help of aberforth, she avoided the Aurors who were also searching around London several times, which is a blessing.

Otherwise, if Luna wandered alone in London, Auror would have found her whereabouts. In that case, I'm afraid she will be sent back to Hogwarts to Professor McGonagall or directly to the Ministry of magic.

"It seems..." Luna finally muttered, "caramel pudding is going away from me."

……

Compared with Luna, who had searched all night but found nothing, Hermione, who faced the rune matrix underground of black's old house, finally achieved some results.

Well, no! Maybe not yet.

At the moment, when Luna was very sorry for the noon pudding in Snape's defense against the dark arts class, Hermione rarely bowed her head in Slughorn's Potion class.

She's like Luna. She didn't listen much today.

Of course, this is not to secretly make up for the lack of sleep last night - under the care of lupin and others, she still has some time to rest before breakfast after she returns to school.

Hermione didn't speak actively as usual, and even kept her head down. In fact, she was silently looking through one of her own notes.

According to Marca's sign matrix, Hermione collected and sorted out many magic symbols in the shape of Phoenician letters. After that, she compared those symbols with ordinary Phoenician letters, trying to find the relationship between those magic symbols and Phoenician letters.

Now, she has found three groups of characters that can correspond to each other.

Suddenly, the bell rang in the corridor outside the classroom, which made Hermione, who was still immersed in the artistic conception of magic text, suddenly recovered.

"Hermione, class is over!"

"I heard it."

After raising her head and nodding at Ron, Hermione packed up her things with everyone, stood up and left the potion classroom together.

In the corridor, Harry suddenly looked back and asked softly:

"It's Hogsmeade day again the day after tomorrow, Hermione... Are you going to the old house then?"

"Well," Hermione nodded immediately, "I've made some progress. I'm sure I'll go. I'm 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 leave?"

To be honest, Hermione can actually understand Harry's feelings. If she hadn't joined the order of the Phoenix now, she would be more anxious than Harry.

Maybe I'll sneak out of the secret road at night!

But

"I don't think so," Hermione shook her head. "You should also know - there are many Aurors searching in London now. If you go, it's hard not to meet them. Besides, tomorrow is the phantom development class, and then..."

As she spoke, Hermione glanced behind her. She looked at Ron who was discussing the ratio of potions with Neville.

"... I'm worried that Ron will be under a lot of pressure. After all, he is the only one of the three of us who hasn't learned the phantom movement in advance."

Phantom shape shifting is a difficult spell, and its characteristics make it difficult for little wizards to practice without the help of experienced professors.

However, with the support of Marca's Potion, the danger of separation caused by manifestation failure is no longer a problem.

However, it is obviously impossible to have the ability to practice without a place to practice.

Since the entire Hogwarts space has been firmly reinforced, no headmaster has temporarily lifted it, and no one can practice the phantom shifting mantra here.

Therefore, Harry, who learned from Sirius early, even Hermione and others, practiced in the last period of the previous Christmas holiday.

There is no doubt that although this magic spell is difficult, it will naturally add great convenience to everyone's action.

Unfortunately, Ron didn't practice until the beginning of school.

"So if Ron still doesn't work tomorrow, Hogsmeade, you and Neville will take the potion and help Ron continue to practice!" Hermione whispered. "I should have gone..."

"It's all right," said Harry. "I see. Your suggestion is right. It's better to let Ron learn to say it. It can also make our future --"

"What are you talking about?"

It was so cold that Ron's voice sounded behind them, which startled them.

"Oh, no... nothing," Harry said with a quick dry smile. "I'm asking Hermione to lend me the notes of the potion class just now. You know, how euphoria works..."

"Ah?" said Ron with a puzzled look. "Isn't Hermione studying ancient magic texts in potion class? And I said, you didn't listen well in class? The euphoria was finished in the last class!"

"Oh, is it...?"

Harry turned his head awkwardly to ask Hermione to answer Ron's words, but Hermione had already gone to the auditorium.

Seeing this, he had to turn around again and squeeze out a stiff smile at Ron.

"Well... You see, no wonder Hermione is angry again, ha..."

"What are you laughing at? Then hurry to apologize!"

Ron broke Harry's shoulder and pushed him to the side door of the auditorium. It was only when he passed the bulletin board in the hall that his eyes suddenly stopped on a notice for a few seconds, and then he silently looked away.

That's a big notice posted on the bulletin board since the beginning of this semester. The content of the notice is naturally the 12 week phantom development course, and the teachers are dispatched by the phantom shift test center of the Ministry of magic.

In fact, although he had been talking to Neville just now, he still heard a few words in the dialogue between Harry and Hermione.

Although he didn't hear it completely, the words "phantom development" and "Ron" alone could make him guess what they said.

However, even though Ron was really depressed that he had not been able to practice phantom movement, he was not as stressed as Hermione thought.

How to put it? Are you used to being slower than both?

Shaking his head, Ron pushed Harry into the auditorium and took his seat at the granfen table.

At this time, on the teaching bench at the other end of the auditorium, Slughorn was looking curiously at the empty seat on the edge of the long table.

"Where's Severus?"

"I don't know," said Professor spruot. "Maybe it's still in the office?"

But they didn't know that Snape was not in the office at the moment, but remained in his defense against the dark arts classroom.

With Luna.

……

"Miss Lovegood, all right, stop your pen!"

Luna, who was buried in copying her textbook, heard Snape's voice in front of her, suddenly stopped at the tip of her pen and raised her head in doubt.

"What's the matter, Professor Snape?" she looked at the professor still standing on the podium and said, "the first time has not been copied!"

"I know," snape said calmly, "you answer me a question. If you answer it correctly, you can only copy it once."

Luna nodded again and again, as if she saw the caramel pudding that had gone away reappear in front of her. At the moment, she was twisting her smooth and sweet body and waving to herself!

"Oh! That's great!" she hurriedly said. "What's the problem?"

Snape waved his hand and asked briefly:

"It's simple. I just want to know - what did you do when you left Hogwarts so late last night?"
