Chapter 1428: Irritable Emotions and Invitations
In addition to the restlessness peculiar to adolescence, everyone's inexplicable restlessness is mainly due to the current worsening situation in the wizarding world.
Evan didn't want to say much about it, but he couldn't help but say it.
Every morning the newspaper brought by the owl would have some more bad news, and the bad news came last week that Stan Sanpark, a rider bus conductor, had been arrested on suspicion of Death Eater activities, but anyone on IQ Online knew that the guy was not a Death Eater at all.
He was bragging, and the Ministry of Magic had arrested him to prove that they hadn't done nothing.
If anything, it is that bragging and rumor-mongering are also sinful, and Sanpak does deserve it in this regard.
He'll be released after a while anyway, and Azkaban without Dementors won't do him much harm.
In addition to this, there was news of Eloise Meadgan's withdrawal from school and the parents of the students being harmed by the Death Eaters......
In the second week of the new semester, although the week is not over yet, the bad situation is still the same trend and worse.
On Tuesday, Hermione told Evan that two more students were certain to drop out.
Friday's edition of Hogwarts Wizardry brought the terrible news that a heavily armed team of five Aurors had been killed in the line of duty, done by the Death Eaters, the first time an Auror had died since Voldemort's return.
The shadow of war and panic have gripped the wizarding world and are beginning to seep into Hogwarts......
The students are now trying not to actively talk about Voldemort and the news, at least not in public.
On the surface, everything is immersed in an eerie calm and quiet.
Yes, it's quiet, at least the upperclassmen's areas are quiet.
Now, whether in the common room or during meals, Evan often sees the 6th and 7th graders staring at something, their faces flushed, and secretly fighting with themselves, as if they had taken an overdose of constipation.
They were actually practicing the ability to make the spell work without pronouncing it out loud, i.e., practicing silent spells.
This incident first started in the sixth-grade classroom, after Snape required the students to master the silent spell, other professors also put forward the same requirement in the first or second class, mastering the spell-casting technique "silent spell", which requires one of the necessary skills, but this advanced spell-casting technique is difficult, not to mention the sixth grade, many seventh-grade students who have been practicing for a year last year have not been able to master or use it proficiently.
Of the entire sixth graders, Evan was currently the only one who had mastered the Silent Spell, and many people consulted him.
During the event, he also devoted a lot of time to explaining the use of this magic.
As for the silent mantra, Aven's advice is to practice a lot, practice makes perfect, not to back down because of difficulties, the method is fixed, in this case, it is much more effective to think less and do more than to read a book over and over again or ask for the so-called know-how.
So, it's no surprise that Neville is faster than the others in mastering this magical skill.
He is stupid, but his perseverance and perseverance are the strongest of all, and his growth and space are probably the strongest.
After Evan and Hermione, Neville became the third student in the entire grade to successfully use the Silent Charm.
Although a successful use of the Silent Spell was still a long way from being fully mastered, the news of Neville's success spread, somewhat impatient and irritating to the others, blending with the stress of the heavy classes in the senior year.
Come to think of it, even Neville has successfully used the Silent Spell, but they don't feel it at all, it's a shame!
This happened not so long ago, and after that, a lot of people have noticeably gotten harder at practicing silent spells, including seventh graders.
These two things are the main reasons for the spread of anxiety in the school, in addition to this, Evan also has some troubles of his own.
For example, his current main mission is to find the key clues left behind by Hufflepuff.
After talking to Dumbledore and thinking a lot about using the Ravenclaw crown, Evan decided to summon the house-elf demons beneath the school's kitchen in the near future. He didn't know what would happen, but Dumbledore said he would follow when Evan was ready.
He wasn't going to help with the summoning ritual, and Evan could understand that Dumbledore had so much to do.
What's more, it was Evan who was completing the Hufflepuff test, which was both a test and an improvement in his personal spellcasting ability.
As for timing, if all goes well, it will be when Dumbledore trains for the second time in a few weeks......
As long as Dumbledore can go, it will be the greatest help to Aven!
That's not all there is to it, and the invitation from Hagrid, for example......
There was no way to refuse, or really hard to say no, an invitation that Hagrid had been inviting to visit Glopp and the seriously ill Aragog after a few of them had visited Hagrid to help him recover.
No one wanted to go, and the matter could be delayed again and again, but everyone didn't want to make Hagrid sad again, so sooner or later they had to go......
Speaking of invitations, we have to mention another annoying invitation that is difficult to refuse.
On the first day of the second week of the semester, Professor Slughorn sent an invitation letter to Evan, Harry, Hermione, Elaine, and Ginny, inviting them to the party they were organizing this weekend.
Needless to say, it's the slug club trick again.
Almost without much thought, the five of them refused.
No one wants to go to dinner with a bunch of Slytherins and some nasty guys, wasting an entire evening listening to Professor Slughorn reminisce about the past.
But Professor Slughorn wasn't going to give up, and it seemed that Evan hadn't given him an accurate return visit, and he finally decided to come in and block a few of them before dinner on the weekend, and he seemed to have been waiting at the door of the auditorium to talk about it.
Considering Professor Slughorn's status, it would not be good to refuse his invitation directly in front of him.
After getting the news in advance, Evan Hermione hid early.
The two of them spent the weekend huddled in the Room of Requirement, working together on magic that was not well known to outsiders, and even had lunch and dinner brought by Dobby.
Harry, Elaine, and Ginny were not so lucky, they were going to Quidditch training, the goal was too obvious, when the Gryffindor team walked into the castle after a day of training, they saw Professor Slughorn waiting there in advance, blocking their way, looking at Harry with a smile on his face......
