Magical Studies at Hogwarts

When Scrimgeour learned the news, it was already the next day. This was because he asked the guards in Azkaban to report every day, but he didn't know it until he didn't get the message when he should have received it.

When Aolo and his team arrived at Azkaban, the tall tower had been completely razed to the ground, leaving only ruins.

This news cannot be concealed or concealed. It is true that he can silence those who are loyal to him, but you must know that the current Ministry of Magic is no different from a sieve.

"Azkaban: Death Eaters Escape"

Harry stared at the front page of the "Daily Prophet" with his mouth open. In front of the scene where there was only a pile of rubble in the photo, Scrimgeour was livid and speechless.

Not a few days have passed since the last time Hagrid spilled the beans. Even yesterday, the front page of the Daily Prophet was "The Ministry of Magic is victorious". Today it is "Azkaban is destroyed"?

Subconsciously, Harry looked towards the professor's chair. Dumbledore's position was still in the air.

"He must be busy after such a big thing happened." Harry thought.

"This is simply a disaster!" Ron said loudly at the Gryffindor table, "All those Death Eaters we worked so hard to capture just ran away?"

"If what is said in the newspaper is true, it is true." Hermione frowned, no longer in the mood to enjoy a delicious breakfast, "But even if what is said in the newspaper is not true, you can tell by looking at this photo.

All the prisoners escaped. And..."

"And what?" Harry asked.

"If you look at this entire report, there is no mention of the original guards. It seems that they were all killed." Hermione said, "Don't forget, they just imprisoned Greyback."

"How could it be like this..." Ron muttered, looking very disappointed.

Harry also wanted to know this question, so after breakfast, he decided to write a letter to Sirius to ask. This decision was also unanimously approved by Hermione and Ron.

Three days later, Hedwig brought back Sirius' letter, and the three of them couldn't wait to open it and read it. But Sirius didn't write much, there was only one name on the letter: Ike Strider.

This already explains everything.

"It's him again!" Ron said bitterly, slapping the table, his face turning red, "He has completely become the Dark Lord's lackey! To be honest, I hate him now even more than Malfoy."

Neither Harry nor Hermione spoke. They just listened in silence to Ron complaining and cursing beside them. Ron also became more and more energetic and his words became more and more unpleasant. While Harry listened, he quietly observed Hermione.

Min's expression, but no psychological activity could be seen from her face at all. From the beginning to the end, she was surprisingly calm.

This scene made Harry feel a little anxious. He wanted to ask Hermione what she thought, but he was afraid of hurting her feelings. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't speak.

After all, he has grown a lot after all. If it had been two years ago, he would have asked immediately.

In the following weeks, Azkaban and Ike became the only topics of discussion at Hogwarts, and even the active Professor Slughorn and his Slug Club could only avoid the spotlight temporarily, "Daily Prophet"

It was even mentioned in the front pages for a week.

In fact, I still say it now, but it is used as a tool to criticize Minister Scrimgeour.

The time soon came to mid-October, and Hogwarts magically approved students to go to Hogsmeade. This was beyond everyone's expectation. With the current situation so bad, everyone thought that they would not be able to go to Hogwarts this year.

Maude, now that I know I can go, I feel very happy.

The depressive atmosphere has enveloped Hogwarts for a long time. It is good to go out and relax, even if it is only for a few hours. Harry is probably looking forward to it the most, because Sirius wrote that he would be waiting in Hogsmeade.

he.

With excitement and excitement, Harry woke up early. When he woke up, it was just getting dark outside, and other people in the dormitory were still asleep.

Without making any sound, he picked up the book "Advanced Potion Making" beside the bed and started reading.

This book looks very new now. Harry dropped the bag and exchanged the old one with the one he bought from Flourish and Blotts. Professor Slughorn doesn't care anyway, as long as he returns it.

Just give him an "old book".

After getting this book, Harry has become a child who loves to read, and his behavior gradually becomes "Hermione", always reading it. He found that this book cannot be regarded as a textbook at all.

It is very rich, not only has tips and shortcuts for easier potion operation, but also many small jinxes and magic spells are written in the margins of the book.

Those messy notes with alterations and alterations made Harry conclude that these must have been invented by the "Half-Blood Prince".

He has tried several of the above spells, one makes people's toes grow wildly, and another makes people's tongue stick to the roof of their mouth, but the most effective one is listening to the spell with ear plugs, which can make everyone around them

My ears are filled with a buzzing sound like a bee, which is very useful for chatting in class.

Harry lay on his side on the bed, flipping through the textbook and carefully identifying a spell. It seemed that the "Half-Blood Prince" had spent a lot of thought on this spell, and had redacted it countless times, and finally found the spell on that page.

On the corner was written the name of the spell:

Upside Down Golden Bell(Silent)

Harry stared at the word in brackets. He was not sure whether he could do it. More than a month later, he still could not master the technique of silent spellcasting. For this reason, Snape often used this incident in class.

Three ways and four.

"Try it..." Harry thought to himself, picked up the wand, pointed it at a random place, shook it slightly, and at the same time recited the spell silently in his mind: Hang the golden clock upside down!

"Ahhhhh!"

A bright light flashed, and the dormitory immediately became a mess. Ron screamed loudly, hanging head down in the air, as if there was an invisible hook hanging him up. This immediately woke everyone up,

Dean and Seamus laughed loudly, and Neville was so frightened that he fell from the bed to the ground.

"I'm sorry!" Harry said loudly, and quickly looked at the page in the textbook where the upside-down golden clock was written, and finally found the counter-curse in the corner.

Concentrate your mind and say silently in your heart: The golden bell has landed!

The wand emitted another bright light, and Ron fell directly onto the bed.

"I'm sorry." Harry looked at the embarrassed Ron and apologized again. Dean and Seamus next to him were still laughing loudly.

Ron didn't seem to be hurt. He shook his head and replied in a muffled voice: "It's okay, but Harry, next time you wake me up, I'd better use the alarm clock..."
