The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

One evening a few days after Christmas, Harry Potter and the two Weasley children huddled in the kitchen of The Burrow.

The space in the kitchen is small and quite crowded. Near the inside is a dusty fireplace... and next to the fireplace is a clean wooden table and a few chairs. They are sitting here Several chairs.

Several people were wearing the same style of hand-knitted sweaters, among which Harry had a shiny golden snitch on his chest. These were knitted by Mrs. Weasley himself... Despite such an accident a few days ago, Wei Mrs. Sly still hadn't forgotten her Christmas present.

"I really miss the life in Grimmauld Place, at least it's spacious..." Ron Weasley muttered with a look of displeasure, "Now the house is really packed like a can of sardines..."

Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Because it is!

Since the horrific attack on Twelve Grimmauld Place a few days ago, the Weasley Burrow has served as the temporary headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix...

This "crooked" small building may be the first time it needs to receive so many guests at the same time... As Ron said, it is now as crowded as a can of sardines!

In the dining room outside the kitchen, Alastor Moody's roar could still be heard vaguely; since the attack in Grimmauld Place, Mad-Eye's temper had become extremely violent; Remus Lupine and Sirius - Black seems to be there to comfort him. And above the ceiling, in addition to the sound of the ghoul knocking on the pipe with "Hum Chi Chi Chi", a few tiny groans could be heard; several wounded in that attack were also It was transferred here to prevent suspicion from the outside world.

Ron Weasley's original bedroom had been "requisitioned", and he now had to live in the dark cupboard under the stairs.

Harry Potter's situation was not much better, although Mrs. Weasley had a room specially cleaned for him... the innermost room in the basement, which was full of all kinds of messy things, and the whole room There was a musty smell; Harry even found the textbooks used by Mrs. Weasley when he was young, the suit Mr. Weasley wore when he was married, and the relics left by Mrs. Weasley's two older brothers. ...

"Why did you say we came back here!" Ron said with a sigh.

"It's not that mom is worried about us!" Ginny replied, "Hogwarts was almost attacked, and she feels that the campus is no longer safe..."

"And there are at least ten members of the Order of the Phoenix here at any time, so it seems relatively safe? But if someone really wants to attack us, this must be the first target!" Ron said, looking all I was about to cry: "It's good for you, you just need to be in the same room with Tonks... and I... in that damn cupboard... I found a big, big spider last night... ..."

At this moment, a small, excited-looking owl came in from the fireplace, its body covered with dust.

At the same time, a piercing cry came from its mouth.

"Little pig?" Ginny ran over quickly, grabbed the small owl from the ground, and patted the dust on it: "It seems to have brought several letters from the school... this one is from you. Ron; Harry, you have two..."

"Oh?" Ron and Harry hurried over.

...

The first letter they both received was the same, and its content was simple:

"Apparition class

If you're seventeen or over by 31 August, you can take a twelve-week Apparition course led by Ministry of Magic Apparition teacher Professor Wicky Tecrosse .

Interested parties please sign below and return this letter to the Dean of the Faculty by January 10th.

Tuition fee: twelve Galleons. "

"This-apparition!" Ron's tone sounded obviously agitated: "It should be fun!"

"I don't know." Harry shook his head: "Professor Dumbledore took me to do it once before, but it felt terrible..."

"I forgot you already did, Harry... I'd better pass first!" Ron whispered suddenly, looking a little worried: "Fred and George both passed first, or they'd be laughing I have a summer vacation..."

"That's all Apparition class!" Ginny said with some disdain, and at the same time leaned closer to Harry to look at the contents of the letter: "Who is this Professor Wilkey-Tecross?"

"Probably a teacher from the Department of Magical Education of the Ministry of Magic." Harry guessed, "It looks like the school is going to have another professor!"

"Professor..." Ginny suddenly remembered something: "I heard from Tonks yesterday...Professor Slughorn was sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries."

This news did not attract too much attention from Harry and Ron, after all, they had witnessed the Potions teacher being knocked down by the dark wizard of Durmstrang that day.

"You guys haven't realized... what this means!" Ginny said with a bit of anger and amused: "Professor Slughorn must be recuperating in St. Mungo's for a while... Then, during this time, Hogg The position of Watts' Potions teacher is going to be vacant!"

Hearing what Ginny said, the expressions of Harry and Ron suddenly changed.

Especially Harry, his eyes were busy moving to the half-blood prince's potions textbook (he always carried this book with him).

If the position of Potions teacher becomes vacant in the middle of the semester, Professor Dumbledore naturally has no time to find a new teacher, he can only let another teacher come to replace the class... Just like in the third grade, Lupine When sick (actually when the full moon turned into a werewolf), Defense Against the Dark Arts class was temporarily replaced by Snape.

Then, the substitute teacher for the Potions class this time, shouldn't it still be...

Harry suddenly shivered. If Snape taught him another Potions class, then he would definitely discover his secret...

...

"Harry, you still have a letter!" Ginny urged softly, making Harry wake up like a dream.

Harry hurriedly opened the second "letter" that Owl Piggy brought him... or more precisely, a note—

"Dear Harry:

I plan to give you individual lessons starting next semester. Please come to my office at eight o'clock next Sunday evening.

Also, I wish you a wonderful Christmas break.

your faithful

Albus Dumbledore

And: I like sour soda. "
