Vol 2 Chapter 255: Tranquility before the storm

Taking into account the threats of Malfoy and other Slytherin, Harry and Ron eventually persuaded Hermione, who excitedly invited Avon to participate in the war between the two colleges.
"What happened in the morning?" Ai Wen asked strangely. "How is Sirius' defense of the Dark Devils going, isn't there something unexpected?!"
"The course is very smooth. He showed everyone the dead banshee, a very interesting dark creature. It always makes a sharp and bleak voice. Although it is a bit unlucky, it does not do anything to hurt others." Hermione explained. "The main thing is Sirius. He did not hide his dislike of the Slytherin students in the classroom, and gave them a lot of points, about a hundred."
"It doesn't blame Sirius, it is Malfoy's initiative to provoke." Harry argued. "He messed up in Sirius's class and didn't do what he said."
"I know, Sirius is still too emotional. He is now a professor. He should treat every student as fair as Professor McGonagall." Hermione grinned and said that it made her look very Like Professor McGonagall.
"God, do you know what you are talking about?!" Ron exclaimed in surprise. "A professor who favors Gryffindor. This is the biggest expectation of my life. You tell me now, hope him. Be fair!"
"Sirius is not too much to do, think about Snape, how he treated everyone before, if it is him," added Harry.
"Snape deducted Gryffindor by at least two percent this morning, and even scared a few girls." Ai Wen spoke about what happened in the morning potion class.
"I knew it would be like that old bat," Ron said disgustedly.
All in all, because of Snape's and Sirius's duel, their unreserved dislike, and other long-standing grievances, the hostility between Slytherin and Gryffindor reached its highest point ever.
In the following week, the students of both colleges were all cautious. Everyone in pairs appeared in the castle, for fear of any accident.
Although they are on the alert, nothing actually happens.
With the involvement of Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall, the castle was strengthened in management, and neither Harry nor Malfoy had the opportunity to conduct the so-called college war.
As time went by, Snape and Sirius also converge a lot. They also gave Gryffindor and Slytherin points to each other and slowly stopped, but the Potions and Black Defence classes also became Gryffindor and Slytherin students love the two lessons that are most annoying to each other.
Compared with the highly differentiated potion class and the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, Hagrid's Protection of Magical Biology class was unexpectedly well received.
At the suggestion of Ai Wen and Hermione, Hagrid chose the magical creature of the first class of the new semester as a fire monster. He raised a lot of fires on the ground, there were fire monsters, let everyone have fun, collect dead leaves and leaves to keep the fire, and the lizards who loved the flames jumped on the cracked, self-heating wooden blocks.
Almost everyone reflects that this is the best course that Hagrid has ever had.
A week after the start of the school, Ravenclaw and Slytherin played a Quidditch, Slytherin won the game, but the score is very close.
According to Wood, this is good news for the Gryffindor team. Because if Gryffindor wins Ravenclaw, it can still take second place.
This game allowed everyone to turn their attention to the Quidditch game. Compared with the vain college war, they found that it might be more practical to score the outcome in this way. Gryffindor lost to Hufflepuff before, but because of Harry's fire arrow, they are still the hottest team this year.
Now, Gryffindor's Quidditch team has to train at least five times a week.
In the cold wind of January, Harry flew outside for five or six hours almost every day, and he didn't even have time to finish his homework.
Ai Wen also feels that his time is not enough. He has entered the bottleneck in magic research and needs to invest more time. Tom Riddle's diary gave him the guidance last year. Alvin has done all the research. He is now studying the black magic books he has taken from No. 12 Grimaud Square.
These magic books, especially the magic recorded in "The Secret of Dark Arts" are very esoteric and complicated. There are many places, and Ai Wen can't understand it.
He can't take these black magic books to ask Dumbledore or Sirius, only one person can secretly conduct research, he spends more and more time in the library, and the librarian Mrs. Pins looks at it. His eyes are getting more and more strange.
With the approval of Sirius, most of the books that Ivan borrowed and referenced now are very old and unpopular magic books, all of which are books in the forbidden zone. These books are not to be said to be twelve-year-old wizards, and even adult wizards rarely use them.
The only thing that is more busy than Ai Wen is Hermione, because there are so many classes to choose from, and the weight of the course is finally revealed in her.
Every night, if she is not studying in the library with Ai Wen, it is bound to appear in the corner of the public restroom. There are various textbooks on the tables in front of them: arithmetic charts, various magic dictionaries, and Muggle lifts. A diagram of the heavy objects, as well as a wide range of notes.
Except for Ai Wen, she rarely talks to others now. If someone disturbs her, she will be disgusted when she speaks.
"What happened to the two of them?" Ron finally couldn't help but yell at Harry one night. "I have never seen anyone who is more busy than Ai Wen and Hermione, even if they are preparing for a senior wizard. There is no such thing as Percy in the grade test. The books they read two days a day are much more than I have seen in a semester."
"I don't know!" Harry didn't look up. He was writing a paper on Snape's undetectable poisons. "How do you say that we borrowed Her Potions class with Hermione?"
"It's best not to, she won't agree." Ron looked up again and looked at Hermione, who was sitting behind a pile of crumbling books, and people couldn't see it.
"Hermione is so strange, how can he go on so many classes," Ron continued. "I heard her talk to Professor Victor this morning. Victor is the witch who teaches arithmetic divination. They are Say yesterday's homework, but Hermione couldn't go to the arithmetic divination class yesterday because she was with us to protect the magical biology class! And Ernie McMillan told me that Hermione never missed a Muggle study. Class, but half of the class was in conflict with the divination class, and she never missed a divination class."
Harry certainly knows why, but he has to keep it secret.
He can't talk about the time converter, and he has to write Snape's papers at this point.
Although the confrontation between Snape and Sirius has calmed down on the surface, it is still undercurrent. Harry had to be more careful. At this time, if he had any handles that fell into Snape's hands, it would be hard to see.
"You said that I went to find Ai Wen to help me, let him help me with my homework, Hermione will certainly not reject him." Harry transferred the topic.
"This idea is good, but the premise is that you can find Ai Wen," said Ron. "In addition to Hermione, I also want to know what Ivan is doing these days. He is in the library every night, how many When I saw him, he always took a thick magic book that nobody could understand. There was something recorded there." (To be continued.)
