Chapter 330: Professor, do you know the Half-Blood Prince?
Chapter 330 Professor, do you know the Half-Blood Prince?
After the attack was resolved, the Quidditch game that had been suspended for a long time was restarted.
But now there is less than a month left before the end of the semester. In order to catch up with the time, the next games are almost all close to each other, and at least three games must be played every weekend.
Overall, the audience had a great time watching, but the players were very tired.
Especially Kyle.
The closer to the final exam, the more he regretted having chosen twelve subjects. Although that was not his original intention, this statement could not impress Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore.
He still had to memorize the key points in the book in order to take the exam, such as the formulas and meanings of arithmetic divination, and various common sense in Muggle life...especially the latter. Kyle wasted most of his time. On top of this.
How to put it this way, it wasn't until he got to know more deeply that Kyle discovered that the Muggle lifestyle in the eyes of wizards was slightly different from what he remembered.
Just like the function of a yard. Kyle thought about playing, having afternoon tea, resting, chatting...but nothing was right.
It wasn’t until he turned over the book that he realized that the correct answer was to mow the lawn.
Hey guys, building a yard just to mow the lawn...how free is that?
There is also the most popular group activity. Kyle could not have imagined that the answer would be watching TV...
Not only Kyle, but also Mikel. He even suspected that he had been a fake Muggle for eleven years.
For the first time, Kyle hoped that the mandrake would mature later, and it would be best to wait until after the exam is over.
Unfortunately, Kharidibubaji was discharged from the hospital a few days later.
Even though she had been lying in the school hospital for several months and had almost never taken this class, the school still had no intention of canceling this exam.
Professor Bubbaji has two full weeks to prepare examination papers for the students.
Mikel was so worried that he couldn't eat for several days. He originally chose this course to make his transcript look better, but now, let alone high scores, it would be good to get an A (pass).
If the questions were more tricky, maybe he would get the first P (fail) in his Hogwarts career.
But all that aside, the rest of the summer semester was pretty enjoyable.
Soon, on a sunny morning, the exam week came.
For three whole days, Kyle kept running between various examination rooms...
During the transfiguration exam, as soon as Kyle walked into the professor, Professor McGonagall moved the teapot on the table to the side... The students were originally going to turn it into a turtle.
“This is too easy for you, let’s change the exam content.” She said: “I hope you can write a paper about multiple deformations that is no less than five feet in length.”
Kyle was stunned for a moment. He thought Professor McGonagall would ask him to complete a more difficult transformation.
But writing an essay... Kyle didn't understand what the exam was about.
Written test? But I passed the exam yesterday.
“Written for Transfiguration Today.”
Professor McGonagall quickly explained: "The editor-in-chief of this magazine and I have been old friends for many years. We exchange letters every month. She is very interested in the ideas you raised at the Transfiguration Club.
So, I want you to compete for the Most Promising Newcomer Award of "Today's Transfiguration".
Nearly all contemporary masters who are proficient in transfiguration are ordering this magazine. If you can leave your name on it, it will be very helpful for your future. "
“When will you write it, now?” Kyle’s eyes lit up.
“Of course not, you have to write a good enough paper, but this time is not enough...”
"Two months, that should be about the same." Professor McGonagall smiled and said, "When the semester starts next semester, I will help you send the paper. As for the current exam..."
She casually drew a circle on the report card, "Full marks!"
In addition to Transfiguration, Kyle also received full marks in the Charms exam. Professor Flitwick continued his crispness from last year and did not waste time on him at all.
As well as the following protection of magical creatures... ancient runes... defense against the dark arts... Kyle also passed them all smoothly.
However, there are also problems, namely Muggle Studies and Potions.
Needless to say, Muggle Studies is a dual test of imagination and memory. Kyle didn’t put down his quill until the second before the end of the exam.
But the Potions exam was different. Snape didn't even let Kyle enter the classroom, but blocked him directly outside.
"Professor, the exam is about to start..." Kyle said.
He had reason to suspect that Snape was trying to prevent him from taking the exam in this way, and then give him a zero mark on the pretext of absence.
This situation is not impossible.
But Snape didn't care about this at all. He looked at it coldly and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with that curse?" "What curse?"
“Don’t pretend to be stupid.” Snape said word by word, “That pillar in the Chamber of Secrets that was almost cut open must not have been done by Riddle!”
"Oh...you said the Shadowless Curse of the Divine Edge." Kyle suddenly realized, "That was taught to me by a senior student."
"to be honest!"
Snape looked gloomy and took out a small bottle and held it in his hand.
"Don't lie to me again, otherwise, I don't mind using other means... You should know what this is."
“Veritaserum.”
"Yes, Veritaserum..." Snape sneered, "It only takes two drops to make you tell all your secrets."
"But Professor, it is illegal to use Veritaserum privately." Kyle advised, "You must not embark on a criminal path just for the sake of curiosity. Dementors can..."
"boom!"
Snape squinted his eyes and opened the bottle.
“Okay, I say.”
Kyle sighed, "This is really what a senior student taught me... Don't get excited, professor, just listen to me."
He blocked Snape's outstretched arm, "That's a sixth-year...or at least a sixth-year student. I picked up his "Advanced Potion Making"."
Snape's face stiffened.
Kyle continued: "I only know his name is the Half-Blood Prince, but I don't know what his real name is. It's not written in the book.
But I feel that the Half-Blood Prince... he should be a handsome boy. Of course, it could also be ugly... so I chose such a name to comfort myself. "
Snape's face turned purple, and the muscles on his cheeks continued to tremble.
“Shut up…”
Kyle acted as if he hadn't heard anything and said to himself: "If Professor, you are interested in this half-blood prince, I can help you find out.
You know, I am quite popular in school, and I also know many senior students. They may know who would call themselves the Half-Blood King..."
“I say, shut up!” Snape growled.
The students in the classroom heard the noise and turned their heads to see what happened.
"Turn your head away. Anyone who looks around will not have to take the exam and will get a zero score!"
Snape shouted to the classroom, then turned to glare at Kyle and said through his teeth: "Where is that book?"
"Maybe it's in the dormitory, or maybe it's somewhere else." Kyle thought for a moment, "I can't remember clearly."
“Then find it and give it to me!”
“But professor, the exam...”
Snape's expression changed again. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a deep voice, "Tell me what materials are needed to brew the broad-spectrum antidote."
“Bezoars, mistletoe berries, unicorn horns.” Kyle blurted out.
“Very good, full marks.” Snape gritted his teeth, “Now, go find me that **** book!”
"okay."
Kyle trotted out of the underground classroom, walked around outside, and then came back.
After all, he had always carried the book "Advanced Potion Making" with him and never put it in the dormitory or classroom.
“Professor, guess what, I...”
"Give it to me!" Before Kyle could finish speaking, Snape stretched out his hand and snatched the book away.
It was really a grab, moving faster than Peeves. Kyle suddenly felt like feeding the brow tree monkey at Newt's place, and the food he had just taken out disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Snape looked at the "Advanced Potion Making" in his hand with complicated eyes, and said without raising his head: "You can go."
“Professor, do you know the Half-Blood Prince…”
"roll!"
