Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 493

Chapter 493: Paranoid and moody (Profound and Endless Alliance Leader, plus update 35)

 For the next period of time, the most popular topic in school was still about Sirius Black.

 News related to him can occupy an entire page of the Daily Prophet every day, and waiting for the owl to deliver the newspaper every morning has become the most anticipated thing for some people.

 In addition, Harry has been very excited recently. Almost every morning, he would receive a package from an owl, which included but was not limited to various candies, clothes, or other novel gadgets.

 But these have nothing to do with fifth grade.

Professors are like holding a competition to see who can tire out their students first. Their homework is getting more and more demanding, and even Kyle is not immune.

  After all, not all professors will exempt him from homework, such as Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts.

 After learning the Iron Armor Curse for two weeks, Professor Moody decided to conduct a small test on them.

 This test was supposed to be conducted last week, but the class was a disaster.

There were many students who mispronounced spells, stood still in a daze, and forgot their gestures. Professor Moody was almost furious. He had no choice but to postpone the test by another week.

"I don't mind telling you in advance." Professor Moody stood on the podium and said, "This time I will use the leg-locking curse. If you can't successfully resist it, then unfortunately, you will have to jump around for the rest of the day. Let's go.”

 Some people suddenly became nervous, but most of them showed indifferent expressions.

“I know you guys must be thinking, it's just a leg-locking curse, it can be easily broken, and it doesn't matter even if it's not blocked... That's right.”

Professor Moody laughed, and the scars on his face were all squeezed together, making him look even more ferocious, "But you'd better give up this idea now. For the Auror-specific leg-locking curse, the general solution is useless. ."

 Then he asked everyone to stand on both sides, greeted them one by one in the order of the roster, and recited the leg-locking spell to them.

Kyle noticed that the effect this time was much better than last week. At least when Professor Moody deliberately slowed down, the first two people successfully cast the Iron Armor Curse and used an invisible wall to bounce the Leg Locking Curse. Went back.

 But when it came to the third person, things changed. One student didn't know whether he forgot the spell because he was too nervous.

Needless to say, the result was that his legs were stuck together tightly and he could only jump back. He fell down and almost broke his nose.

 When it was Kyle's turn, he stepped forward and walked to the open space in the middle of the classroom.

 Professor Moody raised his wand, and a white light flew quickly towards Kyle.

 Some people keenly discovered that Professor Moody did not read the spell out loud this time like before. The spell appeared directly without warning.

 “Armor for protection!”

 The white light bounced back and flew straight towards Moody, but he dodged it.

"Very good, that makes sense!" Professor Moody said loudly, "Reflecting the magic spell to the opponent is the real function of the Iron Armor Curse. The kind that flies around only shows that you don't have enough control... Very good, Ten points for Hufflepuff!"

 Professor Moody gave Kyle ten points, but he didn't get the free homework he wanted most.

 Other people have also conducted tests one after another, but the success rate is not high, only about half.

After class, those who failed could only leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom hopping like rabbits.

“Listening to the tone of his voice, I thought we would be attacked at any time.” Mikel limped up the stairs.

 He failed at the beginning. He passed it during the make-up exam before get out of class. During this period, he fell down countless times.

 “Yeah, that's right, talking like a paranoid...”

Next to him, Ryan tried his best to jump forward. He turned his head and looked to make sure Professor Moody was far away before whispering: "I heard that people at the Ministry of Magic don't like him and think he is too neurotic... even if When he walked past him normally, he felt that the person was trying to harm him."

“Professor Moody may be a little strict, but it's always good to learn more.” Qiu, who was in class with them, said, “And the Iron Armor Curse is also very important.”

"I know." Ryan sighed, "But we have too much to do, how can we have time to study the Iron Armor Curse... If it won't appear in O.W.L., I still think it is more appropriate to put it in the sixth grade. At least we didn't have endless homework at that time.”

Ryan yawned, staggering and almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, Kyle grabbed him in time.

 “This is too inconvenient, do you want me to help you untie it?” Kyle asked.

 Professor Moody is right, normal counter-spells are indeed useless. Some students have already tried this when get out of class was over, but the restoration spell should be able to do it. If it doesn't work, all the spells will end.

"Thank you...forget it." Ryan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

"Moody has a magic eye. Who knows if he is watching us from somewhere... Tomorrow happens to be the weekend. At worst, I just need to stay in the dormitory and not come out."

Ryan is very open-minded. He has to write homework in the common room all day tomorrow anyway. Maybe this can help him write faster.

 But before that, he had to go to the underground classroom to attend the last Potions class of the week.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Snape seemed to be more moody than before when he came back this time, which also made Potions class more difficult.

The underground classroom is as cold as winter, and even when the door is opened, it makes an eerie creaking sound.

 “Quiet!” Snape said coldly.

 In fact, this sentence was not necessary at all. As soon as everyone saw him coming in, they immediately became silent and all small movements stopped.

Generally speaking, Snape is the best tranquilizer in Hogwarts. Just standing there is enough to silence the entire school, even better than Dumbledore.

“Today, we are going to prepare a palliative, which can calm and relieve anxious emotions. It is also a question that often appears in exams.”

He said in a calm tone: "But before I start, I must remind you that potion is a rigorous subject. No matter how expensive the crucible is, it cannot make up for a poor brain."

 He looked around everyone's table and seemed to be looking for something.

After reading a circle, Snape nodded with satisfaction, walked to the blackboard and waved his wand: "Here is the preparation method... You'd better remember it firmly. If you are careless when cooking, you will It causes the person taking the drug to fall into a deep and sometimes inevitable drowsiness."

 Then he waved his wand again and opened the storage cabinet at the door.

 “Get what you need yourself, you still have an hour and a half, let's get started…”
