Free extras are placed at the top of the works related to
Dumbledore spent a long time talking, but in fact he only said three things.
Explaining the Horcruxes, explaining the current situation of Elaine and Harry but not mentioning how many Horcruxes Voldemort made.
Ensure that everything is under control, that there are ways to solve it, and that no one needs to worry.
I hope the four of them will keep it secret and not think too much or do anything extra to avoid any changes.
The detailed plan contents were all vaguely mentioned because the four of them had not grown up and were not qualified to listen to it yet. We would wait until they became stronger.
Most of the content was chicken soup for the soul, but Harry and others didn't have much experience and were easily fooled.
Even the most wary Daphne believed that as long as she listened to the old principal and acted according to the plan, the soul fragments of Harry and Elaine would eventually be removed.
If Elaine were present, she would definitely chuckle and lament that children are easy to deceive.
If the Horcrux problem could be easily solved, Adair would not want to kill her.
Having said that, the four of them do need chicken soup for the soul, at least Harry definitely does.
Before his mind was fully mature, Adair was told that he had part of Voldemort's soul in him. If he hadn't been enlightened by chicken soup, he might have committed suicide.
In any case, this matter has been revealed, at least for the time being.
Harry, Daphne, Hermione and Ron were deeply aware of the shortcomings of insufficient strength. They could only bury tonight's events deeply in their hearts and try their best to improve themselves. Especially Harry, who was thinking about whether You should spend more time in Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets and learn a little bit.
Professor McGonagall sent them back to the dormitory. Before leaving, she seemed to want to say something to Harry, but in the end he said nothing. He just patted her on the shoulder and left quickly. Harry seemed to hear the sound of her blowing her nose.
Indeed, as Adair said, he was quite unlucky. His whole family was killed by Voldemort and made into Horcruxes. He did not gain any extraordinary power. He only had a comforting Parseltongue and the fact that he did not want to fame.
In comparison, Elaine can own the entire Shafiq family and live a second life. Even if she almost dies, it is a bloody gain.
Probably so.
The original Adair was left behind by Dumbledore, and no one knew what they talked about.
The next morning, Harry got up late because he had not slept well, but both Ron and Hermione stayed to wait for him.
When the three of them went to the dining hall for breakfast together, as usual, it was noisy inside, with a large number of owls wandering around looking for the recipient. The students were eagerly discussing various things, but the main topics were the Defense Against the Dark Arts course and Adair. .
Elaine had always subscribed to the Daily Prophet. Since she was not at the dining table, the owl that often delivered letters to her skillfully threw the newspaper in front of Hermione. The owl will remember the people close to the subscriber. Hermione had no choice but to take out the cash register. Special fee.
Anyway, Dumbledore mentioned last night that Elaine needed three or four days of treatment, and he also paid for it. Hermione opened the newspaper as a matter of course to kill the time, but she immediately fell into it until she finished reading it. She didn't even say a word to Harry or anyone else.
"Nothing, I just wrote down Mr. Adair's speech last night." After reading it, she simply explained the content to Harry and others, "It's just that there are many people's opinions on it, and I don't know how the news spread so quickly. Yeah, it seems like it’s a mess outside now──”
But this is just the beginning.
After breakfast, they hurried off to this morning's classes: Transfiguration and Charms.
During this period, Hermione was being questioned by Lavender and Parvati about where Elaine had gone and why she didn't return to the dormitory last night. As Adair's daughter, did Elaine know some secret information or something like that? She was bored beyond measure.
Harry was glad that he was not Elaine's best friend, but he was immediately surrounded by Seamus, Neville and Edward. It turned out that although Dumbledore explained that Adair was the mastermind last night, everything was done to get the inheritance. caused a commotion, but they still did not clearly explain what happened.
Harry immediately felt Hermione's annoyance that she knew but couldn't say.
Fortunately, Professor McGonagall's appearance diverted attention. After only five minutes of listening, Harry knew that today's Transfiguration course was extremely difficult because Professor McGonagall showed his hand.
She first made the rose for demonstration larger, and then tapped it lightly with the wand. The white rose immediately became colorful, with each petal having a different color, just like a rainbow. The girls were stunned to see it. .
"A simple color-changing spell." Professor McGonagall said lightly. "We learned it in the first grade, but at that time we only changed a single color. Today we are going to try a multi-color change. This little trick is very convenient to use in life, especially The textbook will not teach you these changing techniques when giving gifts, but today we can try it and listen carefully─"
She waved her wand again, and this time the color of the rose was no longer fixed, but constantly changing, reminding Harry of the shining signboards on the roadside. The female classmates seemed to be very impressed by such a gorgeous technique. Interested, several boys' eyes lit up.
But Harry always felt a little weird
With Professor McGonagall’s personality, how could she want to teach such fancy skills?
This was even more true in the Charms class that followed. Professor Flitwick took out a lot of stones and told them that today they would practice the Smashing Charm—a somewhat dangerous little spell that, in addition to crushing big things to open a path, could also be used to Attacking people, this kind of spell is always the most attractive. Everyone immediately sat up straight and prepared to listen to the lesson.
Only then did Harry realize that the professors seemed to have promised to use all kinds of fancy or unique magic techniques to attract students' attention. This semester's courses were obviously much more interesting than the last semester.
Could it be that they don’t want Adair to be more beautiful than before?
I couldn't stand how every student was discussing Defense Against the Dark Arts, so I specially changed the teaching content.
This is not bad. Harry was only distracted for a second before he decided to concentrate on the class, because Flitwick began to talk about the precautions and tips of the crushing curse, which was very helpful to his growth in strength.
Everyone excitedly lined up to blast the rocks into powder. Watching the rocks fall apart and turn into ashes was really relaxing. Everyone wanted to practice more rounds, and Flitwick also cooperated by conjuring a lot of rocks. They practiced, and later it even inexplicably evolved into a strange situation where the classmates used crushing spells to attack the professor, while the professor continued to defend with rocks.
Overall, everyone had a great time. Even when the bell rang, they didn't want to leave the classroom to have lunch. Even at the dining table, they kept talking about Charms and Transfiguration until Fred, George Wait for the fourth grade students to sit down at the dining table with solemn expressions.
"We just took Defense Against the Dark Arts," George said meaningfully, "Professor Shafiq."
"He really taught Slytherin the magic skills." Dean asked with interest, but his attitude was not as enthusiastic as in the morning. "What did you learn?"
"No, I heard it is still under review, but" Fred looked at Harry and said slowly. "The professor brought up the memory and allowed our class to witness the process of his duel with the Death Eaters and the mysterious man."
