Hufflepuff never works overtime

What's more, Miss Granger prepared very carefully at that time, both the performance and performance effects were top-notch, and she succeeded in getting the filter of the piano master in the heart of little Faith.

But how would such a Hermione cooperate with herself?

You must know that she has never tried any musical instruments, and she can't even understand the staff...

So no matter how tempted she was, she still chose to decline the proposal.

Because Faise really couldn't think of what she could do to contribute besides helping to turn over the score as a music stand, or performing a seal-like applause by herself after the other party finished playing.

And, apparently, that ruthless music teacher wouldn't give her marks if she only did those things.

"It's okay, you just need to sit with me and play a few fixed tunes!"

The excited Miss Granger did not give up her idea, and even took Faith to her home that night, and demonstrated it on the piano herself.

Simple and lively rhythm, no complicated movements, and no large-scale movements.

Indeed... It looks very relaxed, it seems that I can do it myself?

The song chosen by the other party was the very basic "Ode to Joy". Although she played the main melody, she only needed to memorize two fingerings and repeat them constantly. Hermione would do the rest.

In this way, driven by this inexplicable self-confidence, her hands were played by the little lion, and she even pressed a few decent tunes on the keys.

"You are really talented!"

After being praised by the other party, she felt a little giddy, coupled with the excitement of just touching the keys, Faise felt like she was tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, blinded by the momentary sweetness.

The next day, their names were reported as a group.

Then, her hard life began.

Faith originally thought that she only needed to learn from Hermione, open her little hands, put on the correct posture, press down the keys, maintain a rhythm, and move once in a while.

But obviously she underestimated the difficulty of this art and overestimated her own ability.

She encountered great difficulties in reading the score alone.

Before that, the teacher actually taught some things in class, such as treble and bass, lines and lines, but those things were like a brand new language to her ears. Anyway, she didn’t take the exam and couldn’t understand it. In a state of resignation.

After Hermione introduced it to her in detail, Faise realized it deeply.

It's over, she can't handle this thing.

Not to mention the one-to-one correspondence between the 88 keys on the piano and the score, she simply can't understand it, what should I do...

Hermione didn't expect the other party's dyslexia to be so clearly reflected on the staves. Looking at the little head lying on the keyboard with a gray face, she stroked her chin thoughtfully.

Since you don't understand, just memorize the keys on the sheet music by memory.

So even at the last moment, Faise still couldn't figure out what the score looked like, and which notes she was playing.

She just memorized the position of her own hand according to the position of Hermione's hand, and then used muscle memory to forcefully memorize what she was going to do during the repeated practice of the two of them.

At the beginning, when her hand touched the piano, the sound made by the other party was like the scream of a woman from a good family when touched by a strange man. Faith even wondered if Hermione's piano had any recognition function. I really hate my playing.

In order to improve the situation, the two little ones spent that time in the piano room of Granger's house after school, and she would not leave until dinner.

Of course, there were times when she would be stayed by Mrs. Granger, who couldn't resist her kindness, and would go back after dinner.

Faise was actually afraid that Hermione would get impatient, or resent her for making the same mistakes over and over again.

But in fact, when it comes to teaching herself, the other party is always surprisingly patient-correcting her mistakes over and over again, and practicing with her.

Chapter 66 Playing Together

Like most children, it is difficult for Faith to maintain her attention on one thing, especially when doing this kind of repetitive exercise, even a bird flying outside the window can be easily attracted her attention.

In order not to distract herself, she could only force herself to stare at the black and white keys, and memorize the score by practicing over and over again.

The time of piano practice is not always painful. Sometimes it seems that she can't hold on anymore, and Hermione will choose to play a cheerful piece of music to relax herself.

At that time, Faise would get up to make room for the other party. She would usually choose to lean halfway by the piano, watching Hermione's hands fluttering on the keys, and listening carefully to the mellow and changeable piano sound.

Thanks to this, she gradually found that she could understand the priorities in some melodies, but it was only limited to appreciation, and it was still very difficult for her to actually play.

Fortunately, the energy and time they spent were not in vain. The day of the final performance went unbelievably smoothly, and the most difficult part was the waiting period before going on stage.

After the two of them sat on the piano chair, all movements became natural, and Faith felt as if her soul had floated out.

There is no time to think about what to do next, but I just devote myself to it and let my hands play freely.

She even seemed to hear the other party whispering in her ear the fingering she should do next when she was playing, but after the exam, when she asked Hermione about it, the other party insisted that it was just her hallucination .

In any case, she never touched the piano after that time, only occasionally when she stayed at Granger's house, the other party would practice in front of her, and she was happy to be an audience.

In fact, Faise enjoyed the feeling of being bathed in the sound of the piano, listening to the other party's playing from rusty to smooth, her emotions gradually enriched, and every movement of her hands revealed elegance.

The piano and the girl formed a scene that complemented each other in his eyes, and his graceful and smooth figure and movements seemed to be shrouded in a halo.

Seeing the other party immersed in the world of music, Faise felt that she couldn't help but lose her mind.

"Merlin's beard, I finally got through that difficult part,"

But this wonderful heartbeat stopped abruptly when Hermione opened her mouth, and the sharp-edged temperament that the other party brought back to her usual feeling when she played.

Hermione turned her head and looked at Faise excitedly. She flicked her sore wrist, and babbled about the unfamiliarity caused by not practicing for half a year.

Seeing Hermione who was in a relaxed mood, and the other party's toes under the piano bench touching the ground one after another, Faise gave her an affirmative look.

"I think your playing is still as good as before, and your movements are even more natural than before."

"Really?" Hermione scratched her cheek shyly, twisted her slender fingers together, and stared at Faith with eyes that couldn't hide a smile, "You're not flattering me, are you?"

"How is it possible?" Faise quickly shook her head, "I'm telling the truth, your sense of pitch must have always been there, and you're already very talented."

"Then you should try it too, remember the song we played together before?"

Hermione stood up from the piano bench, she went straight to the small bench where Faith was sitting, and grabbed her.

"But...I..."

With half a push, Faise was also pulled to that piano chair by the excited little lion, and the two sat down side by side.

"Hermione, I don't think I really remember much..."

"It's okay, just give it a try. Anyway, we don't need to take the exam now, so just play casually with me."

Faith looked at the black and white piano keys in front of her with some headaches, it was difficult for her to explain to the other party her dazed state facing the piano.

In fact, half a year is enough time for her to forget the piano score completely, and even the key that she managed to remember at the beginning has almost been forgotten.

Coupled with the absence of the opponent's hand as a coordinate, even Feisi is not sure whether there should be three keys or four keys in the middle.

After hesitating for a long time, she posed the most basic fingerings on the slightly cold piano.

Playing the first note with vague memory, the melodious and familiar sound of the piano emptied the remaining distracting thoughts in her mind, allowing her to instantly immerse herself in the days of practicing together.

Faith thought that she would definitely make a mess of playing, but her strong muscle memory allowed her to play naturally without thinking.

She could feel that the people around her moved after the first loop, and with the addition of the second person, the originally monotonous melody suddenly gained resonance and layers.

Hermione's movements were more natural than her own, as if soft water flowed around her, making Faise gradually relax, and she just went to simply enjoy the happiness brought by the music.

After the song ended, the eyes of the two met, and neither of them spoke for a while, as if they were still reminiscing about the sound of the piano echoing in their ears.

Hermione spoke first, "I think you play really well!"

Hearing the other party's sincere praise, Faise seemed rather embarrassed, "It's just that the practice at that time worked, and I still have to rely on you to lead me..."

"It's okay, I feel really happy when I play the piano with you," Hermione seemed very excited, "Although I don't have time for the grade exam, maybe we can play together once in a while, what do you think, Fayce?"

Talking about what you like, the other party's eyes are shining with anticipation and joy, looking at you with big moist eyes like a newborn deer.

Being stared at by Hermione like this, Faise forgot her determination to never practice the piano again, and just nodded silently.

If it's just an occasional flick, it shouldn't matter...

After getting the approval of the other party, Hermione obviously didn't take this matter as just a joke, she even started to figure out which song they could learn next.

Listening to the other party chanting the names and genres of various music masters, Faise couldn't get in the way for a while, and could only smile and go along with the other party, not to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.

In fact, she still can't figure it out. Playing this kind of... how should I put it, a piece that is a bit too simple with Hermione's level, wouldn't it be boring?

After all, if she hadn't wanted to accommodate herself as a beginner, from the etudes she had heard at the time, Hermione could have become one of the most outstanding ones in the music exam.

Chapter 67 Nicole Flamel

After receiving Mrs. Granger's call, Hermione gently closed the piano cover and put the bracelet back on.

Seeing the other party's movements, Faise suddenly tapped her palm, pointing to it and said a little excitedly, "I remember where I saw that man named Nicole Flamel!"

"Ok?"

"When I was helping you make the bracelet, I saw it in Dad's notes. He is a potion master and proficient in alchemy."

At the beginning of that notebook was an introduction about the development of potions, and this person's contribution took up a lot of space, which made her very painful to read at the time, but also benefited from this, allowing Faise to remember the name. down.

"Potions and alchemy?"

The sudden progress made Hermione a little unresponsive, she repeated the other person's words, and looked at her wrist.

"Yes," Faith pushed her glasses and recalled carefully, "At first I wanted to make the bracelet directly through alchemy, because my father's notes contained very detailed content, and he had taken this course as an elective." class."

"Later, I found that the knowledge contained in it was a bit too profound, so I chose Transfiguration as the next best thing, but I remember very clearly that he was mentioned in the opening chapter of potion making, and he was also known as the contemporary The only surviving master of alchemy."

"But I haven't seen his name in that "Great Wizard of the 20th Century"," Hermione frowned. If that person is so powerful, there is no reason why his name would not be recorded in this book up.

"Maybe you can ask Professor Snape? He may be a well-known wizard in the small circle. If he is a Potions teacher, he should know something."

Faith said with some uncertainty that she only knew that alchemy and potion making were inextricably linked, but based on her existing knowledge reserve, she really couldn't deduce why.

"I'd rather ask Headmaster Dumbledore directly than Professor Snape..." Hermione subconsciously retorted.

In fact, she didn't know much about alchemy. She only knew that it was an elective course in the sixth and seventh grades, and the conditions that needed to be met were quite harsh.

Alchemy is mentioned only briefly in other sources as an ancient science with close ties to potions, chemistry, and transmutation magic.

Snape must have wanted to use this lost magic to do something bad. If he asked the other party so blatantly, regardless of whether he would tell the truth, if he became defensive, he would want to catch him later. His tell is even more troublesome.

Got the clue, but Hermione's expression didn't look very happy, after all, she still wasn't sure what Snape's evil plot was...

She can look for books about alchemy, or books that record modern potion masters, maybe there will be some clues.

"Why?" Faith looked at the other party with some incomprehension, "Are you still upset because Professor Snape didn't give you an O for the homework last time?"

"Of course not, it's because of some more complicated reasons," Hermione couldn't help adding, her lips pursed tightly, her fingers twisted together unnaturally.

"But he should have given me an O for that homework, why Malfoy can get an O, my God, I still can't figure it out..."

Listening to the other party's complaining whispers, Faise felt that Hermione might be afraid that she and Professor Snape would conflict because of their disagreement. After all, the little lion had been caught with a sore foot several times before, and was almost about to be deducted points.

"If you have a grudge against him, I can help you to ask, although Professor Snape always likes to point at me in class, and will say some... Not very nice things," thinking of Black Bat Wang called her name in a low tone and drew a long voice behind him, and Faith trembled subconsciously.

"But if there is any question, he will usually answer it, unless he thinks it is a question asked by a fool."

"No, you can't go!" Hermione raised her voice suddenly, startling Faise beside her.

She glanced at the other party apologetically, before she hesitated to speak, "I, what I mean is, you don't need to bother the professor with such a thing, I'm just a little curious."

No, I don't think you seem a little curious, you seem obsessed.

Faise complained silently in her heart, but since the other party said so, it proved that Hermione didn't want her to intervene in this matter.

Forget it, she must have her own plans, and besides, Hermione has always been a measured person, so she shouldn't let her get into any predicament.

Faise nodded at the other party, "Okay, if you need any help, you can tell me, of course, if you are willing to let me know..."

Hearing the slight dissatisfaction in the other party's tone, Hermione could only smile consolingly at the other party. After all, the more she explained, the more problems might be exposed. Hagrid is a good example.

It's definitely not that she doesn't believe in Faise, it's just that this incident sounds too magical-a Hogwarts professor has a plan for the treasure hidden by the headmaster in the school-so before she figured out what exactly Professor Snape had Before any conspiracy, it's better not to let the other party get involved.

Faith is different from Harry and Ron, she has always maintained a respectful and insensitive attitude towards this kind of adventure, even if she said it herself, she would only think that she was crazy.

I thought this incident was just a small episode in their lives, but after the start of the second semester, Faise realized that it seemed more like a planted bomb, ready to surprise herself at any time.

---------------------------

"Wow……"

The three of them stood in front of the hourglass. Part of the ruby ​​in the hourglass belonging to Gryffindor disappeared overnight, and the expressions of the Gryffindor students in the crowd were not clear.
