Chapter 75: New Semester
At the beginning of the school year, as Professor McGonagall said, the Gryffindor Tower had been renovated, and Gryffindor students could now live there again, and after the explosion and fire, all the decorations and furniture inside had been replaced with new ones, which looked magnificent, and for a long time, this was what the Gryffindors showed off to the other houses, after all, the things in the rooms of the other houses were conservatively estimated to be used for decades.

Of course, the other students also ridiculed each other, thinking that Gryffindor is now a group of outbursts, with no historical accumulation, and like them, they can move a chair out of the common room casually, and they are older than the students, and as a result, soon after, there is a conflict between the new school and the old school at Hogwarts, which is quite similar to the existence of the "salty party" and the "sweet party......
After returning to their bedroom, Harry told Darren about his experience at Black's house, "You can't imagine that when Black arrived at his house, I thought he was going the wrong way, because he told me the address was 12 Grimmauld Place, but I only saw 11 and 13, and there was no 12 at all!"
"But before I could ask Blake, I saw the house in front of me begin to shake, and then split apart like a movable door, and in the middle appeared a door that looked tattered, and then the walls and windows, all squeezed out of it like an origami room, and finally," Harry waved his hands in excitement.
At this time, Ron whispered beside him, "He was the same when he was on the train, and he hit Hermione with the arm." β
However, Harry apparently didn't notice Ron's small movements, and continued, "Eventually, an entire house appeared out of thin air in the middle of the two buildings, as if it had squeezed things apart on either side. β
"Blake told me that this was because they all hated Muggles in their family and thought that Muggles should not be allowed to disturb them, so they cast a spell on the house, so that the house was usually hidden, and only appeared when the person who was granted the right to enter came, and even when the house was visible, Muggles were invisible, unless you took his hand and walked in, really, such a big house appeared out of thin air, but the people in the two buildings next to it did not react, and did not notice any change. β
"What's it like in there, there must be a lot of good things in the Black family, right?" asked Darren curiously, after hearing Blake talk about making the "Living Point Map", presumably his great-great-grandfather, Phineas Nigelus Black, also lived in that house, and since Blake could find parchment, there must be other treasures.
"Oh," Harry looked at Darren's words with a look of regret, "Well, Blake said, when he ran away from home, he was removed from the family tree, and his only brother died, so after he was taken into Azkaban, many of the things in that house were taken by other relatives, and I guess they must be precious treasures, because he said that those things that are inconsequential are worth a lot in my opinion." β
Well, Harry is still a dirt bun who has never seen the world, and if he let his father with the potion bubble map know, he will probably jump up and smoke him, and he will simply lose the face of the three Death brothers.
"And there is a house-elf in his house, called Ke What Cut, so old, he is slow to do anything, and he is always chattering, and Blake will always quarrel when he talks to him......"
With the start of the new semester, Darren's classes have also returned to normal, and sure enough, even the guys who have taken a vacation and rested for two months in one breath are all hand-raw, and for a while, Gryffindor's scores were wildly deducted, especially Seamo, who blew up several times in the Transfiguration class and Charms class, and was called the "Explosive Maniac" by the majority of teachers and students, in contrast, Neville's performance was very stable, and he consistently couldn't, couldn't finish and messed up.
In the midst of Gryffindor's desolation, the only two bright spots are Hermione and Darren, and although they followed Darren's advice and shifted their focus from endorsement to research, Hermione always maintained a very high level of memory, and every time the professor asked a question, he received satisfactory answers.
Darren because of his unremitting practice, the mastery and use of spells in the Charms class and Transfiguration class are as fast and effective as ever, almost on a par with Hermione, of course, this is after Darren released the water, he can have several months more practice time than Hermione every year, plus his mental and experience advantages, no more than a little girl, it can be regarded as a waste of firewood, but if the results are too good, it will be miserable to be targeted by Dumbledore, Voldemort was not on Dumbledore's blacklist back then, and he can't do anything, he can only rely on terror to reflect the value of his lifeγ
However, even if the two of them were as strong as they were together, there was nothing they could do about Potions class, and Snape seemed to be in a very bad mood because of Black's release, and he was very critical of Gryffindor, and if Gryffindor was not deducted ten points in any Potions class, it would be a victory.
Of course, Darren thinks that Snape may also know about Peter, and thinks that raising such a thing Gryffindor is not a good thing, it can be regarded as "hating monks, hating robes", plus Harry has a thorn from time to time, which makes Gryffindor even more unhappy.
But there are exceptions to everything, in this deep situation, there is also a calm course, that is, Lockhart's Defence Against the Dark Arts class, after this guy was blown up last time, he lay in the medical treatment for more than a month before waking up, and now his style of doing things is much more restrained, and he doesn't babble like before, but he just asks the students to read the book he wrote in class, saying that it is for everyone to give everyone a new learning perspective, and look at Defence Against the Dark Arts from a third-party perspective.
All the students were overjoyed by this, after all, it was much easier than wielding a wand to practice spells and brew potions, and although it was a bit tedious, Lockhart did not prevent the students from sleeping in his class now, or rather, as long as they stayed in the classroom, he didn't care what the students did.
The only one who was a little worried was probably Hermione, "In that case, I don't even know what I've learned this year, Lockhart's full autobiography, but I memorized it all before school started last year." β
Hearing Hermione's words, Darren suddenly realized that according to the current situation, this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class may really be Lockhart's book, "Hey, you say that, I haven't even written down a book, so won't this year's exam be suspended! I don't know if it seems to be too late now......"
