Chapter 53 Harry, I urge you to surrender!
Although Dumbledore said that night tours are possible, Rove decided to suspend this activity, which is suitable for all ages, and conveyed this spirit to Shirley and the three of them.
This fully embodies what is meant by adding code layer by layer.
Dumbledore only asked not to go to the restricted area and dangerous places. Rove not only consciously stopped the night tour, but also specifically told Hermione:
Don't leave your bed unless necessary, preferably not even in the common room.
He definitely didn't write about his desire to transfer to Ilvermorny in the letter of complaint for "revenge" on this little girl!
Rove is not a grudge at all.
He is a man of revenge.
It is indeed necessary to keep a low profile for the time being. Not only Professor Snape, but even Professor McGonagall seems to dislike Rove. Recently, he always wants to trouble him in Transfiguration class.
That look... as if Luo Fu stole the emerald Chinese cabbage she had just planted.
Fortunately, Professor Dumbledore reminded Rove mentally, so that he would not be too passive in the face of Professor McGonagall's aggressiveness.
It can only be said that the headmaster is a rare kind person in the team of Hogwarts professors.
In order not to be found fault, Rove stayed up late to learn Transfiguration, and asked Shirley what he didn't know. Finally, stepping on the tail of the disappearance of [Transfiguration Talent], he finished the first-year Transfiguration course ahead of schedule in a month.
It can only be said that Professor McGonagall's talent is terrifying!
Even Shirley was slightly surprised that Rove's recent progress was so fast... almost catching up with her.
Hermione was the happiest. After she wrote many complaint letters, Professor Dumbledore finally wrote back to her.
Dumbledore said that he can't solve the problem of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the time being, because it is too difficult to find wizards who are willing to be generous.
But he was willing to take two classes a week to teach her Defense Against the Dark Arts, which made Hermione so happy that she stopped writing complaint letters and praised Hogwarts for its good teaching all day long.
Dumbledore once served as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration, and he is definitely a good teacher.
Rove took Shirley away as an assistant, and Professor Sprout had no free labor. She saw that Neville was honest and liked herbs, so she asked him to come to the greenhouse every week to help.
So far, Shirley learned Transfiguration from Professor McGonagall, Hermione learned Defense Against the Dark Arts from Professor Dumbledore, and Neville learned herbal medicine from Professor Sprout...
Only Rove was not claimed, so he had no choice but to continue to keep his group of harmless animals in the box honestly.
Of course, it was not without good news. Professor Sprout found Dumbledore and made Rove the Hufflepuff Quidditch team's...substitute.
Although Rove is, in Cedric's words, the youngest Quidditch player in a century, a substitute is a substitute.
He won't play for a while, maybe not even for a year.
Hufflepuff has a strong team this year, and after two years of running in the lineup, the cooperation has become more and more tacit.
It is impossible for a mature team that is determined to win the championship to engage in a large number of rotations at the beginning of the season to train new players.
What they have to do is to rely on cooperation to win as many games as possible while the other reorganized teams are still in the running-in period, and accumulate enough points advantages.
Therefore, after Rove became a substitute, he didn't even participate in Hufflepuff's training match.
It's Halloween and the Hogwarts castle decorations have changed overnight:
There is a sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkins in the corridor, and jack-o-lanterns are hung in every corner. When students pass by, a bat will emerge to scare the passing students.
Groups of ghosts walk in the corridors, and when they meet little wizards, they ask them to say a blessing.
On the way to class, Rove met Nick, who was almost headless, and wished him to lose his head as soon as possible, become "Nick the Headless", and successfully join the Headless Hunter team.
Nick was very happy, saying that this was the most touching and sincere blessing he had heard in hundreds of years, and wished Rove... always healthy.
In Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall teaches how to turn a mouse into a pumpkin.
Rove was the fastest and completed the transformation first. Professor McGonagall smiled at him and gave Hufflepuff a point.
Shirley, who deliberately slowed down, looked at the young man who was chatting with Professor McGonagall, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent.
In herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout introduced a kind of pumpkin to everyone. When the wizard approached it, it would jump on top of the opponent's head and smash it down.
But this kind of pumpkin doesn't live very long, because they often bump into each other and smash themselves.
Professor Snape didn't like Halloween. In fact, he didn't like any festivals. In order not to let everyone have a good time, he even delayed the class for twenty minutes on purpose.
In Charms class, Professor Flitwick showed everyone how to levitate a pumpkin.
"Don't forget that subtle wrist movement we've been training!" he screeched. "Remember, swing and shake!"
The pumpkins flew higher and higher and ended up hanging from the ceiling, and everyone couldn't wait to try it, but they could only start with the lightest feathers.
Hermione rolled up her sleeves, waved her wand, and said, "Wingardim Leviosa!"
Her feather rose from the table and hovered four feet above her head.
"Oh, well done!" Professor Flitwick shouted, waving his hands. "Look, everyone, Miss Granger has succeeded! Two points for Gryffindor!"
Neville flicked and shook, doing it over and over again, but the feather that was supposed to be floating was still lying motionless on the table.
Hermione whispered: "Neville, it's Yuga—Dim Leviosa, you should say the word 'plus' long and clearly."
"But I can't keep track of the time." Neville was a little distressed.
"Then look at the watch, you have to stretch it for three seconds, and you can basically succeed." Hermione introduced the little tricks she summed up.
Neville did it again, failed again, and Hermione corrected two mistakes again, and he finally succeeded smoothly.
"Hermione, is there something wrong with my gesture?" Hannah asked hurriedly.
"The third movement, the wrist is too small, look at me..." Hermione shook her wand slightly.
Burns, who was sitting in front, turned around and said enthusiastically, "It's time for Hermione to see me..."
During this time, Hermione has made quite a few friends, most of whom are of course Hufflepuff students.
In a place like a school where social relations are relatively simple, as long as a top student is willing to help a bad student, he will immediately gain a lot of friends.
This is even more so before the exam, as long as you share your Xueba notes and summarize the key points of the exam, you will immediately become the most popular student.
As long as a student like Hermione is willing to change her attitude, it would be a strange thing if she can't make friends!
After explaining to the surrounding students, Hermione came back to her senses with some excitement. She turned her head and looked at the book in Rove's hand.
"What is the use of the three-headed dog's venom?"
"Yes, the venom of the three-headed dog is very precious." Rove said: "The potion it makes has antispasmodic and analgesic effects, as well as good local anesthesia."
After cleaning Lu Wei's teeth, Rove got the [Mouth of the Beast], he can now make his own venom, so it can't be wasted.
"Where did you find this book?" Hermione asked curiously.
"The restricted section." Rove raised his eyebrows and said, "Professor Dumbledore said last time that if you want any books, write to him."
At this moment, Harry, who was sitting in the back row, poked Rove's back with a quill, and whispered, "Rove, I have a question for you."
Hearing Harry speak, Hermione snorted, then turned her head and said nothing.
Since the last time Harry and Ron were persuaded not to go out at night and they were arrested, Hermione hadn't spoken to them again.
Harry was a little embarrassed, but still whispered:
"Rove, if I want to catch a...animal and grab it silently, is there any way?"
"It'd be better if the other person and the animal didn't see both of us!" interrupted Ron.
Rove was silent for a long time, and said:
"Harry, I urge you to surrender yourself."
