Last year, half of the class had attended Silver's Defence Against the Dark Arts after-school cram school, and they had already learned protective spells such as the Iron Armor Charm very well. Still, none of them recited the incantation silently. As you can imagine, this is followed by a lot of cheating. Many of the students were chanting mantras in whispers, but they didn't amplify their voices.

However, in addition to the regular Defence Against the Dark Arts cram school, Silver also runs the more expensive (and darker) Defence Against the Dark Arts After-School Advanced and Ultimate classes. Unsurprisingly, within ten minutes of the lesson, Malfoy, Hermione, and a Ravenclaw girl managed to cast the Silent Spell - Snape added twenty points to Slytherin, and Hermione and the Ravenclaw girl's cousin was ignored.

Harry and Ron were separated, with Harry being assigned by Snape to Silver and Ron being assigned to a Hufflepuff boy. So far, neither of them had cast a successful silent spell, and both Harry and Ron's faces were flushed, fearing that they would not be able to resist the temptation to whisper the incantation.

"Potter, I gotta say you're terrible. Snape dragged his robes over to Harry and Silver as they were practicing, "You haven't even been able to cast a successful silent spell so far, Silver, it's up to you to attack." ”

"Yes, Professor Snape. With a wave of Silver's wand, Harry was knocked to the ground before he could react.

Harry fell to the ground, it wasn't that he didn't have the strength to get up, it was just that he didn't want to face the ridicule of Snape and the others.

But Snape was clearly not going to miss an opportunity to taunt Harry.

"Oh, that's bad, Potter. Snape had a smile on his face, and Malfoy laughed loudly at Harry's clumsiness. "I have to say, you really don't have much talent in this area. Silver, you go to the side first, and let me practice with the savior, Harry Potter. ”

Anger burned in Harry's heart. He got up from the ground and drew his wand to defend.

"Very well, Potter, it looks scrappy. Snape's tone was still an annoyed emphasis for Harry.

Snape suddenly turned his wand towards Harry, who instinctively reacted, forgetting all about the silent spell and shouting, "Armor!"

His Iron Charm was so powerful that Snape was knocked off balance and slammed into a table. The whole class turned their heads. He watched as Snape struggled to his footing, his face full of rage.

"Do you remember when I told you that we were practicing the Silent Spell, Potter?"

"Yes. Harry said stiffly.

"Apparently you still don't know the bare minimum of classroom discipline, Potter. Snape said with a grimace.

"Do you want me to add Mr. Professor?" said Harry.

"Potter, in lockdown, Saturday night, in my office. "I won't allow anyone to be rude to me." Porter...... It doesn't matter if you're a savior. ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Harry, you shouldn't be so impulsive. Ron said, "Snape wants to get you." ”

"It's nothing more than confinement, I'm not afraid of it at all. Harry said stiffly.

During the break after lunch. Harry and Ron racked their brains to do the homework Snape had left behind, and before they were halfway done, the bell rang for the afternoon Potions class.

"Alright Harry, Snape has a benefit to teaching Defence Against the Dark Arts as well. Now it's not him the Potions teacher, and we can finally take the Potions Intensive class. Ron reassured Harry.

"yes. Harry said with a straight face, "Otherwise, I'll have to go back to Aunt Petunia's house if I can't take three advanced courses." ”

They said. As he hurried down the familiar path to the basement classroom, which had been Snape's preserve for a long time.

When they came to the hallway outside the classroom, they saw that there were only twelve or thirteen students coming to the advanced class. Obviously, Crabbe and Goyle didn't do O.W.Ls the required grades, but four Slytherin students passed the exam, including Malfoy. There were also four Ravenclaw students and one Hufflepuff student - and Silver and Hermione, of course. Harry was a little upset, and Silver's silent curse had embarrassed him, so he pretended not to see them greet him.

The door to the basement classroom suddenly opened, and before the Slughorn could show up, the big belly had already come out. The classmates walked into the classroom, his walrus beard twitching over his smiling mouth, and he greeted Harry and Silver with great enthusiasm.

Unlike usual, the underground classroom was already filled with steam and all kinds of strange smells. Harry and Ron walked past the bubbling cauldrons, sniffing with interest. Four Slytherin students sit at a table, as do four Ravenclaw students. Silver and Hermione sat at the same table, and no one else dared to sit at the same table with the two of them. Harry and Ron had to sit with their only Hufflepuff student, Ernie McMillan, who was a Hufflepuff prefect and knew Harry and Ron well, and they had chosen a table closest to a golden cauldron, and the smell of the cauldron was emanating from it.

"Alright, alright, alright," Slughorn said. Looking through the many hot vapors, his large figure seemed fluttering. "Ladies and gentlemen, please take out the scales, the medicine bag, and, don't forget to take out your "Advanced Potions System" textbook ......"

"Sir?" said Harry, holding up his hand.

"What's wrong, Harry?"

"I don't have books, I don't have scales, I don't have anything—and so is Ron—because we didn't expect to be able to go to higher classes—"

"Ah, by the way, Professor McGonagall mentioned that...... Don't worry, kid, don't worry at all. You can use the ingredients in the locker today, and the scales can be lent to you, and there are some old textbooks here, which you can use first, and then you can write to the Blotts......"

Slughorn strode over to a storage cabinet in the corner, fumbled around for a moment, took out two tattered copies of Liberasius Polage's Advanced Potions Zuò, and handed them to Harry and Ron along with two sets of faded scales. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the book friend Liuzihao, and speed up the update from tomorrow, two chapters a day.

Spoiler: Soon Harry will get a Potions textbook for the Half-Blood Prince, which is far more powerful than the original book, and then Harry will use this golden finger to defeat Silver, the protagonist of this book, and take over the two Dark Lords, become the Minister of Magic, and reach the pinnacle of his life...... (Probably O(∩_∩)O)
