Chapter 11: First Contact with Hogwarts

Wednesday was the time for the first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, and Ryan was excited to come into the classroom to see the boss behind the scenes. Ah no, it's Quirrell, the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

Seriously, sitting in the classroom and the boss at the end of the story are less than ten meters away. It's an amazing feeling.

The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts, known for being one-off for decades. But even so, every year a wizard with a head iron comes to apply, and this behavior can be seen as a wizard's version of why there are so few foreigners in the series.

Therefore, English wizards are not lacking in courage, and the most important thing is that these professors who fight on the street are not of low level. Even Professor Lockhart, known for his straw bales, was able to obtain information from a group of experienced wizards and give them a perfect Oblivion Charm without missing a beat. And the other Umbridge, not to mention his political maneuver to force Dumbledore away. Just look at her quill, and you can see how skilled she is in the dark arts.

The remaining professors include Lupin, who has been in the wolf crowd for many years, but has not been killed by hostile werewolves. The greatest double agent, Professor Snape. Little Crouch who could hide under Dumbledore's nose for a year. Even the Death Eater professor who was handpicked by Voldemort in seventh grade, Amycus Caro. They are all the elites who can be called the elite of the elite.

It's just that Voldemort's curse was too strong back then. In the end, the only survivors of these professors were the insane Lockhart and Umbridge, who made their prison home.

And this year's professor, Quirrell, has always been famous for being a top student when he was in school, not to mention being upgraded to Quirrell-Voldemort Fusion Professor after adding an attachment to the back of his head.

Unfortunately, there may have been a mess when they fused, and Professor Quirrell did not embody the characteristics of a strong alliance at all. The classroom where he was in class was filled with the smell of garlic, and in addition to reading, the class was only boasting about adventures that could not be justified at all.

Ryan guessed that Quirrell was trying to hide himself from being targeted by Dumbledore. But let's be honest, it's easier to spot anomalies because of the fact that this situation has changed a lot compared to usual. It seems that sometimes if two brains are not compatible together, the combined IQ may not be as good as one brain.

After nearly a week of studying, it was Friday, the Potions class time that Gryffindor students feared the most.

Potions classes are held in an underground classroom. It was colder than the main castle building above, and there were glass jars of soaked animal specimens along the walls, which looked like the lair of the legendary evil wizard, and many students were scared and shivered.

After class, Professor Snape slipped Harry Potter out for a solo practice after reciting the famous opening sentence. Ryan looked at this famous scene in the movie, and what came to his mind was that the father and son repay the debt, which is really a law that is common in both the East and the West.

After scolding Harry and making excuses to deduct a point, Snape began to divide everyone into pairs. Instruct them to mix and make a simple potion for scabies.

Unfortunately, due to the initials, Ryan was assigned to the same group as Neville Longbottom. This made him not only have to finish the work of boiling the potion seriously, but also be optimistic that Longbottom would not let him get into trouble.

Thankfully, Longbottom is just a little clumsy and lacks self-confidence. But do things very seriously. It is good to weigh dried nettles according to the steps in the book and crush the fangs of snakes.

Professor Snape walked around the classroom, and Lane's group was beaten up by Snape for not being hot enough while cooking slugs with tentacles.

Just as Ryan heard Snape praise Malfoy for his perfect way of cooking slugs with tentacles, he craned his neck in an attempt to learn Malfoy's manoeuvre. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Neville stabbing the porcupine into the cauldron.

Ryan was shocked and grabbed Neville's arm, who looked at Ryan with puzzled eyes.

Ryan whispered, "Didn't it say on the blackboard that the pot should be opened from the fire before the porcupine thorns could be placed. ”

Neville opened his mouth slightly in surprise, as if he had forgotten about it.

The system also wastes no time in jumping out:

- The owner prevents the Neville Fryer incident from happening and gains 1 offset point.

Professor Snape came out silently from behind him, and then he circled around Harry and Ron at the next table, "Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine spines? "It seems that Professor Snape has an unforgettable hatred for James Potter.

An hour later, the class ended and everyone turned in their potions, and Ryan found Snape with an A on his potion label. Well, long live the pass.

Exiting the classroom door, Neville thanked Ryan for the rare time he hadn't blown up the cauldron and had been able to make a potion without being injured. Ryan felt that Neville's operation was not that bad, but Professor Snape put too much pressure on everyone. Even if he was an adult soul, he felt his hair stand on end when Professor Snape walked by, let alone the effect on Neville, a boy who was usually not very bold.

Harry and Ron came from behind, and Neville stepped forward to them and said, "I'm sorry you deducted points this time." Harry smiled, but didn't say anything. Ron waved his hand next to him and said, "It's okay, it's not your fault." We have known for a long time that Snape was not a man of reason. ”

Potions class is on Friday, so the first week of classes is over after Potions class. There are no classes in the afternoon. After lunch, Ryan brought all his school supplies and went to the library to prepare for his weekend homework, after all, it is easier to do his homework in advance and then play happily than to desperately rush his homework at the last minute.

When she arrived at the library, Hermione was already sitting there. Ryan said hello and began to sit on the side and do his homework. To be honest, Ryan in his previous life was when he was a student. He has always been a proponent and practitioner of the theory that scores are enough.

In this life, he originally planned to touch the fish for seven years after receiving the owl's letter. But he didn't expect to go to Hogwarts with his elementary school classmates, in order to avoid a sudden drop in grades and arouse suspicion, and to avoid being stared at with contempt by acquaintances or even written to his parents in letters, Ryan could only spend most of his time studying.

This kind of life reminded him of the preparation for the college entrance examination in his previous life, which was not a good memory. But every time he thought that power was supreme in the wizarding world, and knowledge was power, Ryan felt less tired of studying.

When it was time for dinner, the two of them finished most of their homework, and then went to the auditorium to eat together with their school bags. This reminded Ryan of his schoolbag and his classmates home after elementary school.

"It's a good feeling to be young. Ryan, who is a 30-year-old man at heart, said silently in his heart.
