HP Approaches the Magic World

The following days were very uneventful.

Hermione quietly followed Jon's recommendation and bought some books for practicing acting skills. Of course, these books were not shown to Harry and Ron. They were all stored in her dormitory. She would read some in silence every night -

—Just like usual, except that usually she was reading magic books, but now she was reading about how to become a good actor.

In fact, Jon originally planned to let Lockhart teach her in person, but later this plan was abandoned by Jon. After all, if Lockhart needed to teach Hermione, he would have to appear in the school. After all, Hermione was not

He can be unscrupulous, but fortunately Hermione is very capable of self-learning. Even if she is reading a book, she can quickly grasp the essence of it. Although it is still a bit immature, it is much better than the stiff disguise before.

And just as Hermione predicted, the time when there were no classes in the sixth grade was not at all a time to relax and rest as much as Ron expected. Instead, it had to be used to work hard to complete the large amount of homework assigned by the teacher.

Not only do they study hard as if they have to take exams every day, but the homework itself is much more difficult than before.

These days, Harry couldn't understand almost half of what Professor McGonagall taught. Even Hermione had to ask Professor McGonagall to repeat what she said once or twice before he could understand it. In fact, she had a more convenient way, she

He could ask for help from his notebook, but he didn't choose to do so because it said: Don't always think about yourself performing, this is life.

Experience is the best way.

What most people who didn't know the inside story couldn't believe was that Harry's best subject suddenly became Potions. Thanks to the half-blood prince, Hermione felt more and more "aggrieved".

And now they are required to use silent spells. Not only the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but also the Charms and Transfiguration classes require this. This is also a bit difficult for Hermione, but she knows clearly that her teacher can do it.

It was even stronger, not to mention silent spells, and she could even cast spells without a wand, so she held her breath in her heart and wanted to work hard. This was also the mentality of most students.

Only when they came to the greenhouse outside did everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Of course, the plants they deal with in herbal medicine classes are now more dangerous than in the past, but when the poisonous tentacles of the mandrake catch them from behind, they can at least chant the curse out loud.

Due to heavy homework and practicing silent spells day and night, Harry, Ron and Hermione never had time to visit Hagrid.

Hagrid no longer comes to the staff table to eat, which is an ominous sign, and the few times they meet him in the corridor or outside on the playground, he pretends not to see them or hear them say hello to him, which is really

Too strange.

"We must explain it."

During breakfast on Saturday, Hermione looked up at Hagrid's big empty seat at the staff table and said.

"But there are Quidditch tryouts this morning!"

Ron said: "And we have to practice the clear water spring spell arranged by Flitwick!

Besides, what is there to explain?

We can't tell him we hate his stupid course!"

"We don't hate it!"

"You said so yourself. I haven't forgotten those squids."

Ron said sadly: "Now let me tell you, we were lucky enough to escape.

You didn't hear what he said about his idiot brother—if we'd stayed and continued the lesson, we'd probably be teaching Grawp how to tie his shoes."

"I don't want to not talk to Hagrid."

Hermione looked sad.

"Then we'll go after the Quidditch tryouts are over."

Harry comforted him by saying that he actually missed Hagrid very much, but like Ron, he also felt that it was best not to deal with Grawp for the rest of his life.

"With so many people applying, the selection process may last all morning."

He felt a little nervous at the thought of facing his first obstacle as captain.

"I don't know why the team suddenly became so popular."

"Come on, Harry," Hermione suddenly became impatient and said, "It's not Quidditch that's popular, it's you!

You've never been more interesting, and frankly, you've never been more lovable."

Ron choked on a large piece of pickled salmon in his mouth. Hermione glared at him with disdain, then turned to Harry to show off her acting skills. Today she was going to play a girl who had been robbed of her limelight.

.

"Now everyone knows you are telling the truth, right?

The entire wizarding world has to admit that the news you said about Voldemort's comeback is correct, and you have actually fought with him twice in the past two years, and escaped death both times.

Now they call you the Savior, how about it, now you still don’t understand why people are fascinated by you?”

Harry looked at the suddenly unfamiliar Hermione, and suddenly felt that it was uncomfortably hot in the auditorium, even though the ceiling still looked rainy.

"Also, you have suffered persecution from the Ministry of Magic, who are desperately trying to portray you as a capricious person and an expert liar.

And that vicious woman forced you to write the mark with your own blood. You can still see it now, but you still insist on your statement..."

"You can still see the traces left by those guys in the Ministry of Magic when they captured me. Look."

Ron said, shaking up his sleeves.

"Also, you grew almost an inch during the summer vacation, which is also impressive."

Hermione ignored Ron and continued talking to herself.

"I'm taller too."

Ron said this without thinking.

The owl that delivered the message came, swooping through the rain-splashed windows and sprinkling raindrops on everyone's heads and bodies in the auditorium.

Most people are receiving more emails than usual, and worried parents are anxious to get news about their children and, in turn, to tell them that everything is okay at home.

Harry had not received a letter since the beginning of school. The only person who wrote to him regularly was dead. He had secretly hoped that Lupine would write to him occasionally, but this expectation also came to nothing.

Therefore, he was surprised when he saw Hedwig's snow-white figure among the brown and gray owls.

Hedwig landed in front of Harry with a large, square package.

A moment later, an identical package fell in front of Ron. His petite owl piglet was pressed underneath, and he was so tired that he couldn't breathe.

Harry opened the package and revealed a brand new copy of "Advanced Potion Making", which had just been sent from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

"Oh, great," Hermione said happily, "Now you can return that textbook that is so messed up with graffiti."
