The Hufflepuff-exclusive Christmas dinner lasted until late at night.

Everyone had a great time.

Especially the members of the Hufflepuff Quidditch team.

Link's gift to Cedric's Halo 2000 was a relief for the entire Hufflepuff varsity.

They finally saw a glimmer of hope of winning the championship.

It's just that soon they won't be able to laugh.

Because the next day before dawn, Cedric got up and went into their dormitories one by one to pull them out for training.

It made them feel miserable, knowing that it was very cold and windy outside, and training in this weather was torture.

But Cedric didn't care so much.

In his words, since everyone has unanimously decided to accept Link's gift after discussion, it is necessary to show some achievements and not disappoint Link and all the Hufflepuffs.

This scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping happened to be seen by Link.

Looking at the players who were dragged by Cedric to the snow outside, Link felt a little empathy.

Because he also needed to get up early to go to Snape's office.

"What a sin!"

Rinke, who was whipped by the cold wind outside the lounge, grumbled.

In his opinion, only a warm quilt in winter is his eternal home.

Of course, this is just a wish.

With a sigh, Link eventually rubbed his hands together and walked to Snape's office.

Snape's office was still the same shabby, not the least different from when Link had left last night.

Snape was still sitting at his workbench boiling potions, and the basement was actually quite hot under the bubbling cauldron.

It's just that the air here is filled with a strange smell caused by not opening the windows for too long, and Snape's head and face are greasy, which makes Link a little suspicious if Snape is a cultivator.

This is a very reasonable conjecture, you must know that Snape has refreshing potions and nutrients for hunger, and cultivating immortals is as simple as eating and drinking water for him.

Taking off his heavy coat and hanging it on a hanger, Link silently moved away from Snape.

None of the people who had just finished the night smelled good, even if he was Snape.

Snape, however, noticed that Link had arrived but glanced at the hourglass in the corner, and when he saw that Link was not late, he continued to bow his head and say:

"Alright, you can start practicing on your own. ”

"I practice on my own?"

"Yes, first use the Divine Blade to cut a small cut on the back of your hand, and then practice the anti-spell. ”

Snape said impatiently, but Link's eyes lit up.

When he completes the Divine Blade's Shadowless Reverse Spell, the experience points of these two skills will be increased after such a set of processes.

Link Straight Good Guy!

Here's how to do it...... Wonderful!

Link nodded, and eagerly raised his wand to the back of his hand.

And then...... Link was obviously too high on his proficiency in the Bladeless Spell.

An indiscernible light flashed, and a large hole appeared on the back of Link's hand.

"Huh!"

Link's voice caught Snape's attention, and he glanced at Link quietly, but his eyes widened suddenly.

"You're a genius, Mr. Foley!"

Snape said sarcastically.

"Okay, don't talk about it, this amount of bleeding is terrifying, okay?

Link said dissatisfiedly, holding up the back of his still bloody hand to Snape.

Unexpectedly, Link's movements were a little big, and the beads of blood that were scattered from the wound were thrown out and almost fell into the crucible.

"My potion!"

Snape immediately exhaled with a headache.

He immediately pushed Link away and checked the cauldron for a while, until he confirmed that the potion inside was not damaged, and then looked at Link with a gloomy face.

"What a stupid fool you are!"

Snape scolded Link, who stood there with his hands folded and silent.

As a young wizard with excellent grades in the potions class, he naturally understood that if his blood was splashed in the cauldron just now, the pot of potions would definitely be scrapped.

It was a treasure that Snape had worked on all night, and it was normal for the other party to behave like this.

Snape looked at Link's aggrieved appearance, and then at Link's bleeding hand, and finally raised his wand out of breath and swiped at Link.

Something magical happened.

The deep wound on Link's arm quickly disappeared like a zipper that had been pulled by someone, and eventually left only a faint trace.

"Practice it yourself! Stay away from my crucible!

Snape scolded and walked away, and Link rolled his eyes at Snape's back before raising his wand again and practicing.

The practice of the Bladeless Shadow Reverse Spell did not go well, but fortunately, although Snape cursed and cursed, he would turn his head and curse Link a few times when he failed to release it, and then point out the mistakes in Link's casting process.

Under this different kind of education, Link finally let the trace on the back of his hand disappear.

[Shadowless: Anti Lv1 has been obtained!]

Looking at the information in front of him, a smile also appeared on Link's face.

He happily approached Snape, a gesture that startled Snape, and he quickly picked up the lid and fastened it to the crucible.

"I succeeded. ”

Hearing this, Snape turned his head to glance at the back of Link's hand, and sure enough, he found that the trace had completely disappeared.

"Tsk!"

Snape snorted, the expression on his face a little complicated.

He looked at Link's slightly meaningful expression, his mouth moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he still closed his mouth, hesitated for a moment before saying coldly:

"Go on!"

With that, Snape bowed his head and continued to boil potions.

Link didn't walk away, he secretly observed Snape's expression, and saw that the other party didn't look angry, so he said slowly:

"Professor Snape, should you teach me Occlumency?"

"Huh?"

Snape raised his head and stared at Link for a moment with his deep, hollow eyes before he said:

"When did I promise to teach you Occlumency?"

"Just yesterday. ”

Link feigned surprise as he spoke.

Hearing this, Snape looked at the cauldron with a blank face.

Unbeknownst to Link, what was boiling was a special tranquilizer for him, a special custom-made potion with a rather complex procedure that even a potions master like Snape would have to work through the night to make before Link could drink the potion.

The liquid in the cauldron was still bubbling and bubbling, and Snape quietly asked:

"Why do you want to learn Occlumency?"
