Chapter 959: Sirius in the Fireplace
"Oh, you three are back, how is the training going?" Half an hour later, Evan, Harry, and Ron slipped through the portrait hole into the Gryffindor common room, Hermione asked coldly, with a thick stack of books in front of her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Totally screwed up. Ron said in a hollow voice, sitting on the couch with a glazed gaze.
Evan gave Hermione a look, she seemed to understand something, and her cold attitude softened slightly.
"It's okay, it's your first time training. She reassured, "It will definitely take time to ......."
"Who's to say I messed up the training?" Ron asked angrily.
"Nobody!" Hermione said, looking taken aback, "I thought ......"
"Do you think I'm destined to be a waste?"
"No, of course I didn't think so! Look, you said training was messed up, so I ......"
"Somehow, I'm going to do my homework. Ron said huffingly.
He slammed his way to the stairs leading to the boys' dormitory, his body vanishing in a flash.
"What the hell is going on?" Hermione turned to Evan and Harry, "Did he mess it up?"
"It's not. Harry replied immediately, loyally defending his friend.
Hermione raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced, and turned her gaze to Aven.
"He's just too nervous and needs to get used to it. Evan said.
"yes, I think he could have done better. Harry muttered, "It's just the first training......"
At dinner, Ron also didn't show up.
Despite Ron's absence, Aven, Harry, and Hermione didn't bring up the topic. As everyone knows, he must have been thinking about his poor performance in Quidditch training, and he himself had a hard time getting the "Gryffindor lost" song out of his head.
On Sunday, Evan taught Harry, Hermione, and Ginny their first magical studies since the start of the new semester, with a moderate increase in numbers, and Corin, Neville, and Kate, who were in the first year, were also on board, this time learning the basics of spells.
Fred and George didn't come, and Ron didn't show up.
The spell practice only lasted about two hours, and after briefly practicing the stun spell and obstacle spell, it was hastily done.
Everyone's minds didn't seem to be on it, Harry was still thinking about his homework, everyone but Hermione didn't seem to finish it, and everyone else was thinking about the field outside, enjoying what might be the last bit of sunshine of the year.
During lunch, Ron finally walked out of his bedroom, and the incident seemed to be over, and he was back to normal.
Perhaps, he may have been hungry, and there was no need to starve himself to death because of his poor training in Quidditch.
After lunch, Evan and Hermione went out for a walk, while Harry and Ron stayed in the common room, burying their heads in their books.
The Quidditch teams from the other three houses were still training on the grounds, and Evan and Hermione stood and watched for a moment before making their way to Hagrid's cabin at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid hasn't returned, and he doesn't know where he's so far.
Even now, Hermione thought Hagrid was too impulsive to bring back a giant, and that he could encounter any danger along the way.
In addition, they saw the cauldron that Professor Grapeland had gotten.
They gather in an elaborate tree and do not leave an inch, these magical creatures are the protectors of the trees and live only in the wand tree.
They all looked like elves made of wood, each with brown, pimpled legs and arms, two twig-like fingers on each hand, and two small, round brown eyes shining on each flat, bark-like comical face.
After a while, Hermione decided to go back and revise her sketches, which she hadn't drawn well.
Inside the common room, Harry and Ron were huddled by the fireplace, looking particularly difficult and haggard.
"How's it going out there?" Harry said to Aven, his eyes staring out the window at the clear blue sky.
"The weather is nice, everyone is playing outside, what about your homework?"
"Hey, there's not much progress, we really should do as much homework as we can on a regular basis. Harry sighed, he was grappling with Professor Sinista's paper, about Jupiter's many moons.
Ron was writing Professor McGonagall's long paper on non-animal summoning charms, which he tried to refer to in the one Harry had already finished.
But to be honest, there is no reference point, it is better to flip through the textbook.
"yes!" Ron said, rubbing his slightly bloodshot eyes and throwing the fifth piece of invalid parchment into the fire next to him, "Aven, you say, can I go and ask Hermione and let us see the paper she wrote?"
"I don't think she'll agree!" said Aven, holding out a magic book.
Hermione revised her sketch of the Cauldron as she chatted happily with Ginny, Crook Hill curled up in her lap.
The three of them fell silent again, and Aven was immersed in his hand on the treatise on magic that was released from the gathering of magical power into energy.
Unlike cumbersome magic spells and usage techniques, this spell discards other effects and converts mana directly into energy, dealing damage to the target it hits, which is an interesting research direction that is more suitable for Aven's current situation.
When fighting, you don't need to think about what spells to use, but directly use magic to deal damage to the enemy, which can greatly shorten the cast time.
Moreover, Aven's magic is very strong, and the energy that can be gathered far exceeds that of others.
Next to Aven, Harry and Ron continued to rack their brains to think, write, and do their homework as best they could.
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and gradually, the people in the common room began to sparse again.
It wasn't until half-past eleven, when there was no one else in the common room, that Hermione yawned and walked towards them.
She sat down next to Evan and looked at the book in his hand, knowing that it had been taken from the Black Family Library.
Led by Aven, she now began to read these magic books as well.
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Ron and tried to say, "It's bedtime, you're almost done with your homework, right?"
"Nope. Ron said angrily.
"Well, Jupiter's biggest moon is Europa, not Ganymede!" she leaned out and pointed to a line from Ron's astronomy treatise, "Also, it should be Europa that has volcanoes." ”
"Thank you. Ron smacked, relining the misspelled sentence.
"I'm sorry, I just ......" Hermione seemed to want to apologize for what happened to Quidditch yesterday.
"yes, if you're just here to find fault!"
"You know, I'm not, I'm ...... Oh my God, Sirius!" Hermione cried out in surprise, looking at Sirius's head that had suddenly appeared in the flames of the fireplace.
