Douluo: Huo Yuhao of the clone style

Chapter 294, Snape's Counterattack

In this way, the course for three students, one from the second primary school and one from the first grade, began.

Unexpectedly, Snape's first class did not teach anything like advanced potion recipes.

He explained the first Potions class, the scabies potion, in more depth and detail, starting from the theory and medicinal materials.

However, after the Potions class ended, Snape did not choose to leave the get out of class, but began to explore other areas of study.

For example, Charms class, Transfiguration class, Herbology class...are all part of Harry's first week.

But they are more inclined to the deeper theory, that is, the aspect of "why do this?"

Oh, except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

As we all know, Quirrell, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, has Voldemort's face welded to the back of his head.

So he focused on completing Voldemort's task and had no time to teach the young wizards.

So Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was all new stuff.

But Harry felt a little surprised that Snape didn't mix in any dark magic. Was it because of his godfather?

Harry ruled out this reason instantly.

The reason these two people haven't fought in the same room is all because of me. It would be strange if they would give each other face.

Most likely he was worried that Blake might cause trouble while he was teaching, so he restrained himself a little.

fair enough.

Harry favors most of the magic in the wizarding world, except for the dark magic.

Even the three unforgivable curses that appear in the original work are not irreplaceable for Harry.

The Imperius Charm is far less convenient and quick than the Steel Seal;

The Cruciatus Curse is just hilarious next to the necromancy that plays with the soul;

As for the curse of chewing a big melon, it sounds very powerful, but in fact it is just that.

To put it bluntly, this spell is used to bully weaklings.

The protagonists of the original novel used their physical skills to dodge many times, Dumbledore could also use a transformed statue to block, and even ordinary wizards could use the wall to block...

In a confrontation of the same level, if you can weaken the opponent to the point of being hit by the spell, you may be able to solve the problem by just pulling out a pistol.

Maybe even a pistol is more stable.

From what Harry had observed in the past, bullets flew much faster than most spells.

Not to mention, black magic can only be used with some negative emotions.

If you use this thing to fight enemies every day, wouldn't that just make you a psychopath?
Harry is not like Voldemort, who ended up losing his nose while playing.

When the Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended, it was almost time for dinner.

Snape announced the end of get out of class reluctantly.

"I have to admit, Snape is really good at bats."

Blake whispered beside Harley after they left the classroom.

"You can indeed learn a lot as his apprentice."

"But aren't today's materials all first-grade content?"

Hermione asked in confusion before Harry said anything.

"I mean, even though the professor explained it in great detail, we won't need it in the future, right?"

"Hermione, that's not how it's meant to be understood."

As soon as Harry heard it, she knew that Hermione had fallen into the same misunderstanding as in the original book.

Hermione in the original book is like this. She learns a wide range of things and is proficient in each of them, but she does not have a deep understanding of any of them.

In other words, she is excellent in everything, but has never tried to explore perfection.

As for innovation, there is no need to say anything.

This is reflected in the sixth novel, The Half-Blood Prince.

In his sixth year, Snape improved every potion in the book and invented several spells of his own.

Hermione, who is the same age and is also considered a genius, is still trapped in the contents of the book and has basically no innovation.

"The key to learning magic is not to master some advanced spells."

Harry explained for Hermione.

"It's about understanding how it works and developing your inquiring mind."

This was clearly Snape's purpose in teaching.

"That way, the next time you encounter an unfamiliar magic, you can understand it quickly."

Then learn, or find ways to deal with it.

"As expected of Harley."

Blake exclaimed, then subconsciously applauded for Harley.

Being able to understand Snape's purpose so clearly has surpassed many adult wizards.

However, just because Black could understand it doesn't mean Hermione could too.

"But this time can be used to learn something else..."

"Hermione, Professor Snape wants to train us to be truly powerful wizards, not a living magic library."

Harley's words were a little more intense.

But this is what she has to do.

Later on, Hermione almost showed a pathological attitude towards learning: pursuing knowledge, but not for the purpose of improving herself.

In other words, she did not have the ability to distinguish the knowledge she needed, so she chose to take it all in.

And the most important thing is that she doesn't have the ability to take them all.

So naturally, unnecessary knowledge dragged her down and made her lose the possibility of becoming a master in a certain field.

Hermione turned pale when she heard Harry's words.

This was the first time she had heard criticism from Harley.

"There is nothing wrong with your thirst for knowledge, but you must remember that no wizard can master all knowledge."

Harley's tone softened a little.

"So it's better to give up some of them and focus on improving the more important ones."

Even Brother Gua gave up the research on soul guides, let alone them.

"I understand."

Hermione said with a look that looked like she was about to cry.

Then she ran away with her schoolbag without looking back.

"Don't be sad, she will understand."

Blake comforted Harley.

"I'm not sad, I just hope she can figure it out."

Harry sighed slightly.

Smart people are sometimes harder to convince than stupid people because they are often too confident in themselves because of their past successes.

I hope Hermione is not such a person.

"Tell me something happy. I have prepared a gift for you."

Blake didn't believe that Harry wasn't sad.

"Look, Hagrid has prepared an owl for you. It would be a bit unreasonable for me, your godfather, not to prepare a gift, right?"

"So what's the gift?"

Harry guessed it was a broomstick.

"I'm also curious, what gift did the gamekeeper prepare?"

Snape's voice suddenly sounded from behind them.

"As Harley's godfather, I have the right to give my daughter anything."

Black naturally wouldn't give Snape a good look.

"As Miss Potter's teacher, I have an obligation to protect my apprentice and prevent her from being harmed by any unstable factors in the outside world."

Snape spoke a long string of lines slowly and steadily.

"Especially this one, who even needed Miss Potter's help to get out, Your Excellency Godfather."

Snape continued, emphasizing the word "godfather".

"Why don't you, a competent teacher, go and comfort your other apprentice first?"

Black couldn't find a way to refute Snape, so he could only hint to Snape to stay out of the way. "Miss Granger is an excellent wizard. No matter what setbacks she encounters, I believe she can easily get through them."

Snape even began to praise Gryffindor students for the first time.

Judging from his attitude, he is probably determined to go against Blake.

After all, Sirius had forcibly intervened in the previous class, so it would be strange if Snape didn't find an opportunity to take revenge.

"Harley is also an excellent wizard. She can naturally handle her own affairs."

Black didn't dwell on Hermione for long.

"Yes, Miss Potter is undoubtedly very good."

Snape echoed.

"But that's why we need help from others, to keep an eye on those who are leading others astray."

In short, the two of them got into a long war of words.

And the more he talked, the angrier he got. If Harry hadn't been there, he would have brought up the past and taken out his wand for a one-stop service.

And Harley, who was watching the show, almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

It was so interesting to see two grown men talking in a restrained manner while greeting each other's family with their eyes.

Finally, the two reached an agreement.

In other words, Black chose to compromise after realizing that the only way for Snape to give up the idea of ​​interfering was for him to not attend their private lessons.

He allowed Snape to come and watch, but Snape was not allowed to make any movements.

Just like Blake during class.

Although Snape did not achieve his goal, he at least disgusted Black, so he agreed to this condition.

"Come on, Harry, I left my stuff with Hagrid."

Black relied on his own willpower to ignore Snape in his mind.

"Didn't the principal arrange another dormitory for you?"

Harry asked a little strangely.

"The headmaster arranged a place for me to live in the castle, but I refused. A gamekeeper has to act like a gamekeeper."

Blake introduced Harry to her with some excitement.

"I'm going to build a house outside the Forbidden Forest, just like Hagrid, probably around this location."

He pulled out a brand new wand and drew a map on a blank piece of parchment.

The map is fairly simple, but all of the buildings at Hogwarts are clearly visible.

"This is Hagrid's hut. This will be my place."

Blake marked the location for Harley as he walked.

"This place can cooperate with Hagrid and can see almost all students who try to enter the Forbidden Forest."

As a troublemaker comparable to the Weasley brothers in the eyes of teachers, Black's first move is a deadly one.

If he were really allowed to sit there, I'm afraid few people in Hogwarts would be able to sneak into the Forbidden Forest.

But this also means danger.

Harley still remembered that in her first year, Voldemort, who possessed Quirrell, sneaked into the Forbidden Forest many times and poached the unicorns there to survive.

Given Blake's personality, he would definitely go up and stop it if he found out.

By then, the pursued Voldemort might risk being exposed and take action...

"Godfather, I take it you still live next to Hagrid?"

Harley said in a sweet tone.

This made Snape's look at Black seem a little ferocious.

"why?"

Blake asked confused.

"We have to give students who want to take risks a little chance, right?"

Harry's words made Snape frown, but made Sirius smile.

But Blake instantly suppressed his smile.

"Harley, be honest, you don't want to go in and play, do you?"

He tried to keep a straight face.

But it’s like an uncle who plays with his child every day suddenly asks the child to study hard and stop playing. The effect is not obvious.

"I am not strong enough now, so I don't have any plans for the time being."

Harry really doesn't have this idea now.

Just kidding, wait until she turns Voldemort's soul fragment into a servant, and then bring the basilisk from Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets.

The entire forbidden forest is a natural material library, safe and rich.

Why rush for so long?

But obviously, what Blake said meant that he would definitely go in and take a look in the future.

But Blake was very satisfied that he realized that now was not the time to take risks because he was not strong enough.

"I see. I'll live next to Hagrid then."

So he instantly agreed to his goddaughter's request.

"Thank you, Godfather."

Harley said in that sweet little girl's voice.

"nothing."

Black looked at Snape, who was obviously unhappy, and an unusually bright smile appeared on his face.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid was a little surprised by Snape's arrival, but he quickly accepted the situation.

Then, Blake began to introduce gifts to Harley.

"This is a cauldron made from the shell of a fire crab. It is the most suitable cauldron for brewing potions."

Blake first took out a large box and opened it, revealing a crucible with an extremely gorgeous appearance.

"Thank you."

Harley took the box.

But her attention was not on the cauldron, for she noticed that there were other boxes in the room.

Including the one she has in her hand now, there are eleven in total.

"This is an astronomical system. It can be used as a decoration, and it can also help you learn astronomy."

Just as Harley was thinking, Blake opened another box.

In the box is a large crystal ball, and inside the crystal ball is an extremely delicate astronomical model.

"Godfather, these are all?"

As Harley took the box, she couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, I'm so late, I have to do something, right?"

Blake continued to introduce what he had prepared for Harley.

There are also rainproof cloaks made of complete dragon skin, wizard hats made of phoenix tail feathers, etc.
These things have one thing in common: they are expensive.

“In the end, this is my favorite.”

Blake pulled out a long box.

The moment Snape saw this thing, he showed an unhappy expression, but he still forced himself not to speak.

"I spent a lot of effort to get this, a test model broom."

He opened the box, revealing an unusually fine broom.

The entire broom had a polished gem-like luster, which made it stand out in Hagrid's hut.

Each broomstick at the tail is straight and firm, without any knots or branches.

"This is the fastest broomstick available. The new Nimbus 2000 can't even compare to it."

Blake introduced Harley.

"It is said that the name they have tentatively proposed is Firebolt."

As fate would have it, he said the name.
