Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

18. Chapter 18 Ivan's Retaliation

    More difficult than Transfiguration is the Potions, which all Gryffindor students think.

    Deep in the basement, the cold Potions classroom, because of the relationship between various potions all the year round, the air in the air exudes a faint smell, the glass jars are placed along the wall in the classroom, and the animal specimens soaked in it are even more sultry. trembling.

    More chilly than the potion classroom, it is the Potions' Professor Snape's face. As long as he stood there, no one would dare to speak in the whole class.

    In the first lesson, after ridiculing everyone, Snape shouted Ivan and prepared to give him a horse.

    However, Ivan was prepared, and he answered all questions raised by the other party.

    "Hey, hey, another Mr. Know-it-all ! ”Snape snorted softly.

    That's right, this is the new nickname Ivan got from him after "the great saviour's follower", matching Hermione "Miss Know-it-all".

    Snape still gave Ivan a point on the grounds that his uniform was not neatly dressed, but he changed his strategy after discovering that Ivan had almost turned the entire "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" and "Magical Drafts and Potions" down. .

    He treats Ivan now, just like treating Hermione, that is, it doesn't matter.

    It made Ivan a lot easier, but he was hard to be happy when he listened to Snape looking for a variety of reasons and giving points to Gryffindor students.

    To be honest, Snape is still very capable.

    For example, they are going to have a simple remedy for acne today. The configuration steps on the blackboard in front of the classroom are different from those in the book. One more step is to cook the slug with the tentacles.

    A small change will make the treatment of the syrup better.

    All the students present, except for Ivan who had previously practiced this potion, did not find this.

    Snape didn't specifically explain that it wasn't a big deal, but Ivan knew how difficult it was. "Each potion formula and configuration process described in Magical Drafts and Potions is the best method that has been practiced thousands of times by countless potions grandmasters.

    Snape can actually change it, even the most basic and simple potion is a great thing.

    "As everyone said, Professor Snape is terrible."At dinner, Colin has not recovered from the shadows of Potions.

    He seems to have a lingering fear. If Ivan prevented him from putting the porcupine into the boiling pot in time, he might report to the school hospital now. But then again, if Snape had been staring at him, he might not forget this.

    For this mistake, he was deducted two points and got an "idiot" rating from Snape.

    "Colin, happy, Professor Snape is just not good at expressing, people are good."Ivan comforted him.

    This sentence was heard by Ron, who just sat down. He immediately stood up and said with surprise, "good heavens, you are actually praising Snape, you will not be cursed by him?!"

    "I am just telling the truth."Ivan didn't take care of him and bowed his head to destroy the pie in front of him.

    "Hello, Harry!"Seeing Harry coming over, Colin hurriedly stood up and said excitedly.

    "Hello, Colin!"Harry replied helplessly, the other party seemed to have carried his schedule down. He has told him about six or seven times today, but Colin is still enjoying it, as if this is the most exciting thing in the world.

    Harry looked at Ivan with a look of help, and Ivan couldn't help it.

    He couldn't stop Colin and Ginny from admiring Harry, just as he couldn't stop Hermione from admiring Lockhart.

    By the wayThinking of this, Ivan turned to look at Hermione. "Professor Lockhart has agreed to help us. He invited me to go to his office after dinner and promised to put his manuscript in the newspaper serial, like "Voyages with Vampires" The part of the book that has never been published."

    "Really, Ivan!"Hermione looks very happy. "Is it tonight, can I go with you?"

    "I think there should be no problem, but I still have something to write at night. You can go with Colin and remember to take more photos."

    "Oh, I thought that after the bad Defense Against the Dark Arts yesterday, you already recognized the essence of the guy, Hermione!"Ron yelled, "He is a liar who can't do anything."

    "nonsense!"Hermione glanced at him. "You have all seen his book, think about the amazing things he did…"

    "Just he said he did it."

    The debate didn't last long. After dinner, Hermione and Colin went to Lockhart's office, and Harry and Ron promised to go to Gryffindor Castle's ghost “Nearly Headless Nick”, and asked him to contact other ghosts to provide news to the newspaper.

    Ivan had intended to go with them, but suddenly received a reply from Bagshot Bathilda detailing the day when Voldemort was defeated, the life of Harry's father and mother, including various details.

    These are first-hand historical materials and have never appeared in any other book.

    Ivan didn't even have time to tell Harry about it. He returned to the lounge as quickly as he could, and read the letter back and forth several times before he sat down with some trembling handwriting.

    "The guardian of love, the great mother Lily Potter!"

    This is his topic, and Ivan briefly introduced Lily's life, including her excellent performance at Hogwarts and three escapes from Voldemort.

    Immediately after the turn of the style, he used a slightly exaggerated yet rigorous tone to describe Lily's last day of life, as if he had seen all things happen, and added numerous details on the basis of Bagshot's reply.

    Especially at the end, after James Potter's duel defeat was killed by Voldemort, Lily repeatedly prayed for Voldemort for Harry, and was repeatedly rejected, but she still struggled to protect Harry, and the article reached its peak here.

    Ivan used a lot of sensational ink to highlight Lily's greatness as a mother, her love for Harry's, and the fierce battle scene at the time. I believe that anyone who is not a Death Eater can't help but shed tears.

    Ivan took a pass on the magic that Lily used last. First of all, he didn't know what the curse was. Secondly, he wasn't sure if Dumbledore wanted to let people know about it, because the paragraph was not mentioned in the Bagshot reply.

    As rumored, after Voldemort killed Lily, he wanted to kill Harry, but he failed, whether it was killed by a rebounding curse or running away. In short, he never appeared again.

    The truth cannot be said, but it does not prevent Ivan from conceiving details.

    In his description, Lily slowly fell to the ground after Voldemort's death curse, and his hands still caught Voldemort's robe, stopping him from going to Harry, a round hanging in her arms. The front is a family portrait of the Potter family, and on the back is a photo of a brunette boy when she was a child.

    The picture ends up here and the text ends.

    Regarding this dark-haired boy, Ivan is completely referring to Snape's way of writing. As for whether he can be guessed who this is, it is not something he considered.

    "Oh, this is not my revenge on Snape's."Ivan thought without hesitation, "Hey, since you dare to deduct me, then I can't make you feel good!"
