Chapter 262 Snape and the Devil

The weather gradually became colder and frost formed on the court. Due to repeated complaints from the players, Wood had to temporarily suspend all training plans.

"Angelina, remember to keep your position during the game - and you two -" During the break, while the players were changing their witch robes, Wood grabbed Fred and George and warned: "Don't

Let me find out that you are late again, otherwise I will definitely give you a good look!"

Fred said with a smile: "No problem, we will cover your eyes in advance during the next training."

"My ears are blocked, so I won't be able to hear you." George also said with a smile.

"I'm not kidding you!" Wood said angrily. He seemed to have eyes on his back. He stretched out his hand to pull Harry over who was trying to go around him. He said in a solemn tone: "I heard that you often have sex with Cedric recently.

·Digory mixed in? How about it, have you heard about the tactics of the Hufflepuff team?"

"Of course not!" Harry said in surprise: "We are going to take lessons, and those tricks can't be used in the competition."

"Trick?" Wood suddenly became more energetic: "So, you have prepared a secret weapon yourself? I like this trick."

"It's nothing like this." Harry quickly denied: "It's just a class, and it's Professor Highmore's class. That's Professor Highmore, and it has nothing to do with Quidditch."

Wood just stared at Harry with an "I understand" look. After patting his shoulder, he asked: "By the way, you didn't reveal our tactics to him, did you?"

"How many times do you want me to say this?" Harry sighed.

"Yeah." Fred added: "You put too much pressure on him, Wood."

George followed up and said mysteriously: "That will affect Harry's performance in the game. Listen and see how many people will fall half to death in Professor Heimer's class."

Harry wanted to retort, but when he thought about the tricks he and Cedric used during training, almost all of them were related to the devil - from this point of view, it seemed not impossible.

But they can't make the devil invisible.

Hey, he seems to have an invisibility cloak.

Fortunately, Wood's exclamation pulled Harry back from the road of crime in time: "Why didn't I expect that Professor Heimer's class, he knows so much, I even regret that I can't continue to learn from him

I have taken the course and I feel it will be of many uses in the future.”

Angelina, who was placing the broom, paused and asked suspiciously: "Are you serious?"

"Of course." Wood said seriously: "The divination method of ancient magic is so useful. There have been many times that I guessed the weather the next day correctly. Otherwise, why do you think it is always sunny when we apply for a training venue?"

This sentence made the entire training room become quiet, and the players' breathing disappeared.

In the silence, Angelina said in a small voice: "I thought that could only be used to predict the taste of beans."

Chaser Alia Spinnet also said quietly: "Isn't that just a random guess by you?"

"How is that possible?" Wood said proudly: "You have to know your scepter well enough, and then just think desperately about letting the team win."

It seems this method only works for Wood.

"Oh my god!" Fred suddenly hugged his head and wailed: "How much time we have wasted, all the gold has slipped away!"

George's reaction was exactly the same as his, and the two of them almost hugged each other and cried.

A black shadow blocked in front of them, and Wood said with an evil look: "So this is why you are late - are you still doing those so-called business? Wake up, compared with winning the Quidditch Cup, these two things are

Don’t you know which one is more important?”

"Of course I understand!" Fred said immediately, but everyone could hear that what he meant was completely different from Wood.

Harry quickly and quietly slipped away before causing more trouble in the lounge.

Principal Dumbledore's class, Professor Lupine's class, plus Professor Helmer's tutoring class, these alone are three additional courses.

That took up almost all of Harry's spare time, and he had to participate in training after finally resting. Fortunately, it stopped due to the weather, otherwise Harry really didn't know how to ask Wood for leave. He always felt that Wood was very likely to

I'll strangle myself to death in one fell swoop.

But among the three courses, Harry's favorite was Professor Heimer's tutoring class.

There are many reasons: there is too much pressure to teach Dumbledore. In Professor Lupin's Patronus class, he could only be an observer, but the most important thing is that in Professor Hemmer's extra classes, Harry was able to sit in the warm atmosphere.

Enjoy the excitement of Firebolt indoors.

He couldn't fly enough.

And Cedric Diggory is just the right opponent. Like Harry, he is the seeker in the team. When comparing each other, he can always discover some new skills - unfortunately these skills are also useless.

Many of the words used in official competitions are related to the devil, and this is definitely a foul.

However, compared to the regret of not being able to use the secret weapon, what Harry did not expect was that he would become resistant to Professor Heimer's courses so quickly.

"I probably don't need to introduce you to you, but - Professor Snape, he will also participate in our subsequent courses."

Room of Requirement.

After Toby said these words, Cedric looked at Snape doubtfully, and his reaction was not that surprising.

It is estimated that Professor Heimer's upcoming courses will be too busy for one person, so he asked Professor Snape.

Only the selection puzzled him-could it be that Professor Heimer and Professor Snape had such a good relationship?

He clearly remembered that the two people seemed to have fought in the corridor, and that rumor did not sound false.

On the contrary, Harry's eyes were different. His eyes were full of hostility, and he was very unwilling to see Snape.

This had nothing to do with whether he was in Professor Hemmer's class or not. No matter where he was, Harry didn't want to see Snape again, and it was best to never have to see him.

As for Snape, as soon as he entered the Room of Requirement, he glanced around with vigilant eyes, wary of any possible mischief on Toby's part.

It wasn't until he found that there was no problem that he silently relaxed the fingers that were clenching the wand in his sleeves, and turned his attention to Harry, who was always staring at him. He looked at him condescendingly, and the corners of his mouth turned into disdain.

"Okay, kids."

I don’t know if Toby noticed this scene. He announced directly to the two of them: "It's time to start today's training. You go and warm up first. It will officially start in ten minutes."

Snape had never seen Toby's special training method - as expected, it was not what ordinary people could think of - there were three flame balls flying in the air, and Harry and Cedric were both

It is required that it cannot fly beyond ten feet and cannot be hit by the fire ball.

This training is not easy at all, but both Harry and Cedric are very good at it - because there are devils.

From the beginning of the warm-up, they took the initiative to summon the devil, and it seemed that because Snape was also present, Harry's rune snake looked particularly real, as if it had really come alive. Cedric's devil

The badger was immediately at a disadvantage.

"This reminds me of last year's Quidditch match."

Snape, who was watching this scene from a distance, said abruptly: "I remember that during that game, Potter was as annoying as his father."

"Are you asking me if I have ever trained him in this way?" Toby interrupted: "I can tell you right now, yes, Severus, he is much better than James. I have

I also considered letting him play in the Quidditch World Cup."

Snape let out a short sneer.

"Unless werewolves stop attacking wizards," he said, "or maybe you finally stop misbehaving, otherwise you are just wishful thinking."

Toby didn't show any anger at all. He even responded with a smile: "It's a pity that you can't achieve both of these goals - especially the latter. Don't forget, Severus, it was you who begged me.

Those who teach you devils must have the consciousness of being a disciple."

Snape acted as if he wanted to have a life-or-death duel with Toby.

"Don't be so excited." Toby said slowly: "It's not the time for you to be angry yet - you should understand that negative emotions are not just sadness, but can also be other things."

Snape's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you going to teach me about the devil in this way?"

Judging from Toby's performance, he is even considerate and can bypass the memory of Lily by irritating Snape, making Snape less painful.

This really doesn't look like the Toby Highmore in Snape's impression.

Facts have proved that what he thought was absolutely right.

"Just to give you an example." Toby said, looking into Snape's eyes: "There are more effective ways than this - I told you, Severus, you will definitely regret this decision.

Yes, but who told you not to listen to me?"

Then he turned his head and shouted to Harry and Cedric in the air: "Okay, kids, the warm-up is over."

The flame ball stopped automatically, and Harry and Cedric flew back to Toby panting. He flicked his wand, and actually conjured two Firebolts out of thin air, which made Harry stare straight in the eyes -

—How many Firebolts did Professor Heimer buy?

Does he want to form a special team?

"It's just a prize from the wish box that hasn't been drawn yet." Toby explained simply: "I'll use it first - here, don't tell me you can't ride a broom yet."

Cedric watched helplessly as Professor Hemmer handed one of the Firebolts to Professor Snape, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange.

He still remembered that in a conversation with Professor Heimer some time ago, Snape broke into the Ancient Magic Office on a broomstick - or to be more precise, he was thrown in.

That scene was really memorable for Cedric.

Snape stared at Toby for a moment, and he unexpectedly took the broom without saying a word.

Toby raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned to the two students and said: "I told you during the last training, and some new tricks will be added to this training.

——The Golden Snitch. You are all seekers, so you will definitely be familiar with this. But——"

Harry knew what was coming next would not be good.

Cedric had immediately turned his head to the corner of the court.

It was so dark there that I couldn't see anything clearly.

However, the clanking sound of armor can still be heard.

That piece of armor was the teaching material that Heimer used in his second grade immortality class. It came out of the darkness, emitting a dim light all over its body, trapping a rare humanoid devil inside.

A bad premonition suddenly arose, and Harry came up with an absolutely impossible guess.

He heard Professor Heimer continue to say to everyone: "It's time, it's time for you to see the real devil. It is the Golden Snitch that will be used in today's training - and the task of the two of you is to separate them."

Help me and Professor Snape recapture it, it's that simple."

No, this doesn't sound simple at all.

Snape said gloomily: "Is this really your decision, Toby? Even I didn't expect that you would actually miss the days when you were called to talk, and you couldn't even wait to relive it again.

Shall I call Dumbledore in advance?"

In the anxious eyes of the two students, Toby said nonchalantly: "You can give it a try - I really don't intend to hurt my students, but my colleagues may not know, maybe it's time for Slytherin House to change to another house.

It’s grown.”

Sparks of hatred were about to splash onto Cedric. He was about to speak to lighten the atmosphere, but he noticed that Harry had silently moved his position and took the initiative to stand on Professor Hemmer's side.

"It seems that you have made your own choice." Toby said with satisfaction: "Then Mr. Diggory, you can team up with Professor Snape - don't worry, I still know how to distinguish the priorities."

He snapped his fingers, and the armored arms immediately fell off and fell to the ground with a clanging sound.

"Pick them up." Toby ordered: "Each person takes one. It can be used as a bat to knock away the devil. It can also cooperate with each other to protect you. Yes, you heard it right, here

The position you will play in this training is the batter, and the seeker——"

He looked at Snape: "We are responsible for that."

"There is no more effective way than to contact the devil personally, Severus, and feel the pain I have suffered. You should be lucky that it has not really broken out of the cage yet."

Harry looked at Professor Heimer blankly, and he vaguely thought of something.

By the way, it's Ron and Hermione.

The way Professor Heimer helped him solve the Horcrux problem was to let Ron and Hermione learn the Patronus Charm. Professor Heimer also mentioned that he had also obtained the Patronus Charm from Al and Angel under similar circumstances.

Ask Professor for help.

And that help happened to be related to the devil in the armor.

Could it be that the reason why Professor Heimer became a devil was because of the wailing soul trapped in the armor?

Which one of them is the real devil now?
