Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Terrible Professors
"All teachers and students should please pay attention to ......"
Through the effect of some unknown magical magic, Dumbledore's gentle voice reverberated throughout Hogwarts Castle, not harsh, at first glance it sounded as if the entire castle walls were coming to life, vibrating sounds.
The little wizards are actually no strangers to this "broadcast" mode, and when they were on the Hogwarts Express before, the conductor also used a similar method to make announcements, but this time the scope was expanded from one train to the whole of Hogwarts, and the sensory experience brought by it was very different.
Hearing Dumbledore's voice, the young wizards of the seventh year scattered throughout the castle all stopped their ongoing projects and looked up curiously to the left and right, as if Dumbledore was hiding beside them with a disillusionment spell at this time.
"All teachers and students should please pay attention to ......"
Dumbledore repeated his previous words, and if one looked closely, they could notice that Dumbledore's tone and pauses were slightly different each time, as if he was constantly adjusting and verifying whether the "broadcast" voice was clear and effective.
Actually, it's not a particularly complicated piece of magic.
The only difficulty is that if you don't want to waste mana needlessly, you need to selectively target certain areas for "multiple magic manipulation". Compared with traditional amplification magic, this method is undoubtedly dozens of times more complicated, but the effect presented is much more ingenious and exciting.
The headmaster of the great Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry paused for a moment after repeating it three times, listening carefully to the sounds echoing through the castle, and a childlike look in his eyes flashed - a new feeling he had never experienced before.
"Lunch will start in an hour, and considering the different progress of the training program in each grade, please give timely feedback on the situation of each group. We will enter the auditorium in three batches according to the level of completion. As a special reminder, some dishes are limited in quantity and will be used up while supplies last, so it is recommended that students cooperate with the professors as much as possible to complete the basic physical training program in the morning. β
As the words fell, Dumbledore gently put down the parchment in his hand, his fingers tapped on the handwriting in a delicate round handwriting, and his blue eyes lit up slightlyβperhaps, this interesting format could have been used for more purposes, such as the situation that has been bothering professors in various subjects, when students can't get out of bed on time, or ......
However, in this case, there are many places where the magic needs to be changed slightly.
Dumbledore rubbed his wand thoughtfully, picked up a beautiful red quill from the table, dipped it in the silver inkwell beside him, flipped Elena's "dictation" over and began to write directly on the back of the parchment.
......
Meanwhile, Hogwarts Castle is home to a Potions classroom on the basement floor.
It is a large classroom, and legend has it that it was converted from a large dungeon used by the first castle to hold prisoners.
It is said that in the earliest days, the Potions classroom was not located here. Judging by the glassware in many of the abandoned classrooms in the castle, it seems that the Potions class has changed many times. At least Elena knew that the room with its black piano across from the entrance to the Gryffindor common room had briefly served as a Potions classroom.
However, in recent decades, since successive Slytherin heads had all happened to be Potions professors, there had been no new changes in the location of the classrooms, so much so that Hufflepuff students felt cold every time they crawled out of the common room.
The blue-gray walls are cold and eerie with a thin mist of water, and along the walls are glass jars soaked in taxidermy.
In the corner of the classroom is a stone basin with a monster-shaped drip spout above it, which is usually used to wash hands and spoons. During normal school hours, there would be copper balances, glass test tubes, and jars of ingredients on a long wooden table, and dozens of cauldrons for potions between the wooden tables.
By this time, however, the classroom had changed.
In response to Hogwarts' [Basic Life Skills Training] this week, Professor Snape moved all the tables and chairs to the corner and piled them together, and he put away the crucible and balance teaching equipment. In this way, there is enough space in the center of the classroom for students to complete the Magic Gesture 1 & 2 training.
"Fred, do you hear me? There's still an hour to be free. β
In the corner of the Potions classroom, a red-haired boy who was slumped on the ground touched his twin brother with his arm, and said weakly, the two of them had just returned to the classroom after ten sets of hellish [Nature Release - 50 Meters Round Trip].
Lying not far from the brothers was a blank-eyed Ravenclaw girl staring vacantly at the top of the dark Potions classroom.
"It suddenly occurred to me now that Potions class was actually a very gentle and fun class. I swear I will never pray again for something as horrible as the start of school and the closure of classes. β
Fred leaned against George's back and rubbed his aching calves, speaking in a tone so painful that he thought he had just left the battlefield or a memorial service.
The thought of this going on for another week made him feel as if his life had come to an early end, and even the sumptuous Hogwarts lunch had become boring.
About ten meters away from the two of them, Professor Snape, dressed in a black robe, stood at the door of the classroom with an expressionless face, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes patrolling back and forth inside and outside the classroom from time to time.
In the hallway outside the classroom, strange sounds echoed, and if you carefully discerned them, they seemed to be mixed with the chaotic footsteps of the students, the heavy breathing of witches and wizards, the moans of pain, and the low cursing voices...... The twins knew it was the wail of the other third-graders who hadn't finished their running yet.
Fred asked cautiously, lowering his voice, his lips moving slightly.
"You say, how many vicious, horrible and tormenting thoughts Snape thinks about every day under that greasy hair. β
"Shhh Remember, we're now two willows growing horizontally. β
George blinked and replied in a low voice.
It was just a short holiday between them, and Snape's terrifying level had simply risen by two or three notches.
A thin wisp of smoke wafted through the Potions classroom, smelling so fresh and refreshing that the Weasley brothers, who were already exhausted, couldn't feel sleepy.
In order to ensure that each young wizard could maintain a standard [magical stance] to complete the project time, Snape was far more serious than the young wizards imagined.
Young wizards with non-standard standing or squatting postures usually only have one chance to adjust themselves, and the second time they are confronted with Professor Snape's cold "all petrified".
Boom!
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground outside the hallway caused the twins to subconsciously shut their mouths, tilt their heads in unison, and turn to the door with a look of pity.
Snape frowned, didn't move a single step, just stood in the doorway, pulled out his wand and casually clicked.
o( Μdish Μ)γ€ββ......
"Recover!"
The little wizard's eyelids moved slightly, then closed tightly, and continued to cross the hallway motionlessly.
"Wake up and get up from the ground quickly, there are still three sets left to run back and forth, or do you want to lie on the ground and rest for a while and start from scratch?"
Snape snorted coldly, his eyes away from the Slytherin student who was quickly getting up from the ground, his eyes slowly swept left and right, and said a little irritably.
"Don't stand still in a daze, don't talk to each other, keep running, and when you're done, you can go into the classroom to rest!"
"We have two more programs behind us! I don't want to end up in the last third grade in the school because of the laziness of a few people. β
