Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

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

In the following period, the most popular topic in the 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.

Besides, Harry has been very excited lately. 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 none of this has anything to do with fifth grade.

It was as if the professors were holding a competition to see who could tire out their students first. Their homework became more and more demanding, and even Kyle was not immune.

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

After two weeks of learning the Iron Armor Charm, Professor Moody decided to give them a small test.

The test was supposed to take place 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 that 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 a little, and the scars on his face were all crowded 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 in 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 recite the spell loudly this time like before. The spell appeared directly without warning.

"Armor 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 , plus ten points for Hufflepuff!"

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

After that, other people also conducted tests one after another, but the success rate was not high, only about half.

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

"The tone of his voice made me think we were going to be attacked at any moment."

Mikel limped up the stairs.

He failed at the beginning, and 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 around and looked to make sure that Professor Moody had gone far away, and then whispered: "I heard that people in the Ministry of Magic don't like him and think he is too neurotic... Even 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 at that time we didn’t have homework that we couldn’t finish no matter what.”

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

"This is so inconvenient, do you want me to help you untie it?" Kyle asked.

Professor Moody is right. Normal counter-curses are indeed useless. Some students had already tried this when get out of class was over. However, the restoration spell should be able to do it. If it doesn't work, all curses 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... It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend. At worst, I just need to stay in the dormitory and not come out."

Ryan is open-minded. He has to write homework in the common room all day tomorrow anyway. Maybe this will 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, what we are going to prepare is a demulcent, 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 we begin, 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."

After looking around everyone's table, he 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, it will be done." It can cause 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. You have one and a half hours. Let's get started..."
