HP Approaches the Magical World

(This is chapter one hundred and eighty-seven, I just slipped and made a mistake, sorry, everyone)

After spending a happy afternoon with the few club students who had no classes in the afternoon, Jon finally received a reply from Snape while having dinner.

"I will, you can come over at night."

Few figures.

Jon put away the note and nodded to the three pairs of eyes around him.

Then the four of them started eating.

Eating can often bring happiness to people, especially when everyone can talk about it while eating, the happiness is often doubled.

"But I always feel that the professor is not easy to get along with."

Sculley complained about Snape while poking at the mashed potatoes: "Last year's Potions class, if it weren't for Jon's last surprise tutoring, I guess I would have died tragically under his hands."

"He is a bit stricter, but his character is still very good."

It was rare for Jon to say such a fair word, but Stephen didn't think it was a good thing.

"Blind optimism is not a good thing."

He sucked up the last bit of pudding in the cup: "You know, character and strictness are two different things. Your training method is biased towards actual combat. If you are knocked down to the ground by him in your individual tutoring tonight, then it will be a shame." So funny."

Fren also echoed: "And today is Friday, maybe you will spend the next two days in bed in the school hospital."

"Are you still human? I take the liberty to ask."

Jon glanced around: "Are you planning to rebel?"

"Rebellion is out of the question. The two of them are under my control now, and I am not under your control now."

With Helga as the backer, Stephen is very confident now. Of course, this is also because everyone is joking now.

"But you don't really think you can wrestle Dumbledore's arms do you?"

On the way back to the dormitory after dinner, Stephen discussed with Jon in a low voice, "I still think you're a little reckless."

"Don't worry, everyone is using their brains on this point. The first step on the ladder of a wizard's progress is imagination. I am better than him in daring to think and do, and I have some inherent advantages in school, although it is impossible. It is more comprehensive than Dumbledore thought, but the sword is slanted, and it is a little bit to add."

As long as it's something Dumbledore didn't expect, he can just aim at that point and do it.

"But is Snape really going to teach you?"

Stephen worried: "Sculley is right, he is the head of Slytherin after all."

"Don't worry, since he has agreed, if you are not sincere, you can't let him go."

Jon loosened his nose: "I just said that the first step on the wizard's ladder of progress is imagination. Do you want to know what the last step is?"

"All ears."

Looking at Stephen's curious eyes, Jon grinned.

"The last step is to be shameless."

...

Meeting again, Snape had a cold face.

"Long time no see, Professor."

Jon showed a friendly attitude, but the professor was obviously not used to this kind of enthusiasm.

The cold expression on his face became even colder, and Jon bet that he definitely discussed today's matter with Dumbledore, and maybe he also talked about the previous matter.

"We met last time in Potions class, Mr. Smith."

Snape said coldly: "Come with me, but I don't suggest you have too much expectation for this tutorial, I'm very strict."

As expected.

Jon followed Snape, pretending not to know anything, and asked, "What are you going to teach me?"

"Of course it's something you can use, don't ask too much now, you'll know in a while."

The empty classroom Snape had chosen was very empty.

Because this "classroom" is outside the castle.

As I said before, in addition to the space inside the castle, Hogwarts is a war fortress, and many spaces outside have their own uses.

For example, the area of ​​Hufflepuff is adjacent to the Forbidden Forest, part of Slytherin is very close to the lake, and the place where Snape brought Jon obviously does not belong to any academy.

Because he saw Snape pressing his wand into the void, and the ripples opened up a new space.

"This is the curse of space closure, one of the principal's privileges. During the previous principal's tenure, this was the training ground for the students to train each other [Poseidon]. This place is closer to the Great Lake than the Slytherin area, so The water vapor here is very strong, it is most suitable for practicing [Poseidon].”

Bringing Jon into the space, Snape waved his wand again to close the entrance, and the whole site seemed to be exiled to another space in an instant, surrounded by that kind of fluffy foggy barrier.

"Okay, we're short on time, let's get started now."

Snape signaled Jon to stand in the center of the arena: "Because you haven't been in contact with [Poseidon] for a long time, you probably don't know some characteristics of [Poseidon], now, release it to me first."

Jon obeyed, raising the wand in his hand as if holding a scepter.

The magic power came out from his body, and with the fluctuation of the frequency of the magic power dissipation, the surrounding water vapor slowly gathered towards him, gradually converging into a network.

"Very good. According to my opinion, Professor Sprout gave you this training method on Monday, right? In just a few days, you can master it to this point, which is already very good."

When Jon heard Snape's praise, he immediately realized that he might have made a big mistake.

Otherwise, this kind of words would not come out of Snape's mouth. The master of potions has always been ironic, and Jon is quite aware of this.

But he didn't hear the yin and yang in Snape's tone, so he really couldn't figure out Snape's real intention.

"I'm still far behind, otherwise I wouldn't need your teaching."

In any case, there is always nothing wrong with being humble first.

"oh?"

Snape moved his upturned head slightly, and the moonlight penetrated from all directions, illuminating Jon's surroundings.

"You are humble, which is a good thing, but I still have to ask you, what exactly are you going to use [Poseidon] to learn?"

Jon frowned and thought about it. This question is really not easy to answer.

It is of course necessary to lay a good foundation. No matter when, the foundation is the most fundamental content.

But now, the purpose of laying a good foundation is not so difficult to achieve, and Jon's needs have increased a little bit.

For example, he combined [Monitoring Wind Whisper] and [Poseidon].

"Any alternatives, Professor?"

Snape flicked his fingers and said, "Of course there are choices. In fact, this training method was not created to help wizards lay a good foundation, but to improve their survivability.

So, which stage do you choose? "
