Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 311 Sharp turn down
When Scrimgeour got the news, it was already the next day, and this was because he asked the guards of Azkaban to report every day, but he didn't get the news when he should get it.And when he led the Aurors to Azkaban, the tall tower had been completely razed to the ground, leaving only ruins.

This news cannot be concealed, nor can it be concealed.Sure, he could silence those who were loyal to him, but you know, the Ministry of Magic right now is no different than a sieve.

"The Fall of Azkaban: The Death Eaters' Escape"

Harry stared dumbfounded at the front page of the "Daily Prophet". Before the scene in the photo where only a pile of rubble remained, Scrimgeour was livid and speechless.

It has not been a few days since Hagrid leaked his words last time. Even yesterday, the front page of the "Daily Prophet" was "The Ministry of Magic has won a big victory", and today it has become "Azkaban is destroyed"?
Subconsciously, Harry looked at the professor's seat, Dumbledore's position was still in the air.

"He must be busy with such a big incident," Harry thought.

"This is a disaster!" Ron said loudly at the Gryffindor table. "Those Death Eaters we worked so hard to catch, all of them just ran away?"

"If what the newspaper said is true, it's true." Hermione frowned, she was no longer in the mood to enjoy a delicious breakfast, "But even if what was said on it is not true, you can tell by looking at this photo, All the prisoners got out. And..."

"And what?" Harry asked.

"Look at the whole report, there is no mention of the original guards. It seems that they should all be killed." Hermione said, "Don't forget, they just locked Greyback in."

"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, and this decision was also agreed by Hermione and Ron.

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

This already explains everything.

"It's him again!" Ron said bitterly, and slapped the table, his face flushed, "He has completely become the lackey of the Dark Lord! Seriously, I hate him even more than Malfoy now."

Neither Harry nor Hermione spoke, just listening in silence to Ron's non-stop complaining and cursing.Ron also spoke more and more vigorously, and his words became more and more ugly.While listening, Harry quietly observed Hermione's face, but he didn't see any psychological activity from her face at all. From the beginning to the end, she was surprisingly calm.

This scene made Harry's heart flutter. He really wanted to ask Hermione's opinion, but he was afraid of hurting her feelings.I thought about it for a long time, but didn't speak.

After experiencing so many things, he has grown a lot after all. If it were two years ago, he would definitely ask the question immediately.

For the next few weeks, Azkaban and Ike were the only talking points at Hogwarts, and even the active Professor Slughorn and his Slug Club had to stay out of the way, Daily Prophet Even the headlines on the front page for a week have been talking about it.

In fact, it is still being said now, but it is only used as a tool to criticize Minister Scrimgeour.

The time soon came to mid-October, and Hogwarts miraculously approved the students to go to Hogsmeade, which was beyond everyone's expectations.According to the current bad situation, everyone thought that they would not be able to go to Hogsmeade this year, but now they knew that they could go, and they were very happy.

The oppressive atmosphere had enveloped Hogwarts for a long time, and it was good to go out and relax, even if it was only for a few hours.Harry was probably the most looking forward to it, because Sirius had written that he would be waiting for him in Hogsmeade.

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

Without making a sound, he picked up the "Advanced Potion Making" beside the bed and read it.

This book looks very new now, because Harry dropped the bag and replaced the old one with the old one bought from Lihen Bookstore. Anyway, Professor Slughorn doesn't care, as long as it is still Just give him an "old book" and that's it.

After getting this book, Harry seems to have become a child who loves to read, and his behavior has gradually become "Hermione", always holding it to read.He found that this book could not be regarded as a textbook at all. It was very rich in content. Not only were there tips and shortcuts for easier potion operations, but there were also many small curses and small magics written in the margins of the book.

The messy notes that had been scribbled and redacted made Harry conclude that these must have been invented by the "Half-Blood Prince".

He has tried several of the above spells, one that makes toes grow wildly, and another that sticks people's tongues to the roof of the mouth, but the most useful is to close the earplugs and listen to the spell, which can make everyone around My ears are filled with a bee-like buzzing sound, which is great for chatting in class.

Harry lay on his side on the bed, flipping through his textbook, carefully identifying a spell.It seemed that the "Half-Blood Prince" had put a lot of thought into this spell, scribbling and changing it countless times, and finally wrote the name of the spell on the corner of the page:
Fuchsia (Silent)
Harry stared at the word in brackets, not sure if he could do it.More than a month had passed, and he still hadn't mastered the technique of silent spellcasting proficiently, so Snape often used this matter to make irresponsible remarks in class.

"Try it..." Harry thought to himself, picked up his wand, pointed at a random place, flicked it lightly, and at the same time muttered a spell in his mind: Fuchsia!

"Ahhhh!"

A bright light flashed, and the dormitory immediately became a mess.Ron screamed loudly, hanging head-down in the air, as if he was being hung from an invisible hook.This immediately woke everyone up, Dean and Seamus laughed loudly, and Neville was so scared that he fell off the bed and fell to the floor.

"I'm sorry!" Harry said loudly, looking quickly to the page of the textbook that said Fuchsia, and finally found the counter-curse in the corner.

Concentrate and say silently from the bottom of your heart: the golden bell lands!

The wand flashed another glare, and Ron fell straight onto the bed.

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

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