The journey back was obviously much easier.

Outside, though, the clouds were still thick, the sea breeze was howling, and the rain was still lingering, but there was something annoying like the Dementors missing.

Other harsh conditions can only be trivial for wizards.

It is worth mentioning that Dumbledore did not waste time when he returned, but came to Hogsmeade directly with his apparition.

He entrusted himself to Professor McGonagall, who had been waiting there, before leaving again.

Accompanied by a 'crackling' phantom shapeshifting sound.

McGonagall shook her head and sighed, then raised her chin in the direction of Hogwarts:

"It's time to go back to school, Mr. Zhang."

It was getting late, and only a little of the setting sun remained on the distant horizon.

Today is a rare good weather, and the night sky is like a light veil dotted with dense sequins, twinkling and twinkling.

The stone-paved road is flanked by old masonry fences, and clumps of weeds grow wildly.

At this time, it is late spring, and the insects are also chirping, mixed with the sound of rushing water, and there is a particularly peaceful atmosphere.

The sound of 'da', 'da' and 'da' heels hitting the stone slab and the sound of the 'squeak' of the waterwheel not far away form a monotonous but interesting song.

"Zhang, is Blake okay?"

Professor McGonagall suddenly broke the silence and asked softly.

Zhang Xiao glanced at the professor, although she didn't squint, still looking ahead, but she could faintly feel that she was not as quiet as she appeared.

"It's not bad, at least I haven't been tortured crazy by the Dementors, although I have suffered a lot, but I will definitely be able to recover after a period of cultivation."

Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head, and said:

"He, James, Lupin, and that Peter, I'm impressed with them.

They were all very courageous children, but why did they do that - they were so good. ”

She paused, looking a little sad: "Oh—I shouldn't have told you this, it's all gone, it's all gone." ”

The two of them walked quietly for a while, and the sun had completely disappeared, leaving only the bright moonlight scattered on the stone path.

"Professor, does Harry know about this?"

"No, for the sake of some— some uncertainties, we're keeping that kid a secret for the time being."

Professor McGonagall was clearly upset about something, and she thought for a moment and said:

"Zhang, I would also like to ask you to keep it a secret for the time being, and wait until the dust settles before I have a chance to talk to Harry."

Zhang Xiao nodded:

"Yes, Professor McGonagall."

As the huge Hogwarts castle drew closer, Professor McGonagall suddenly said:

"Zhang, although I seem to have said this sentence a lot since you entered school, I still want to tell you this time."

She nodded at Zhang Xiao and said with a smile:

"Well done!"

Summer crept into the grounds around the castle;

The sky, like the lake, turned light blue, and flowers as big as cabbages bloomed in the greenhouse.

The day after Zhang Xiaocai returned, Professor McGonagall announced the key content of the exam, and vaguely revealed that if they failed the exam, they would have good fruit to eat.

The most dumbfounded are those students who were petrified, especially the first batch to be petrified, who were almost about to collapse.

This feeling of waking up for the final exam not long after school started.

Wait? Vacation after the exam?

As soon as they thought of this, the corners of the little wizards' mouths couldn't help but turn up, and they pursed their lips desperately, not wanting to let the smile show.

With the exception of Ginny, she is taken by Percy and tutored with a rather strict attitude.

If there's anything more uncomfortable for Ginny than that, it's that Percy also takes Penelope with her for tuition.

While studying, you have to endure the small actions of the two of them who thought they would not be noticed by Ginny.

Each time she looked back at Harry with a wretched look.

Harry quietly picked up the book and held it in front of him, as Hermione was already staring at him with a 'McGrid' gaze.

"What do you want to do Harry? She pulled down a whole half semester of classes, half a semester! Oh my God, this is terrible! ”

On this day, Gryffindor left the Potions classroom in shame.

Zhang Xiao said hello to Malfoy and hurriedly stepped forward to find Professor Snape.

"Professor, are you free now? I have a question for you. ”

Snape was in a good mood, having just found another reason to deduct Harry 20 points, as he flipped through the assignments the students had handed in in the previous lesson.

While saying casually:

"Oh? What's the problem? ”

"It's mostly a matter of creating your own spells."

Snape's movements stopped, and he turned around, the expression on his face a little incomprehensible:

"Dumbledore told you again?"

"Yes, Professor!"

Snape looked at him and dragged out his tone:

"But last time I asked Dumbledore."

Zhang Xiao said very sincerely:

"It's really real this time, I promise, Professor!"

The two men were silent for a while, and Snape seemed to remember something, and said slowly:

"I think it's a bit early, but since Dumbledore told you about it"

Zhang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he knew that if it was about catching Peter, Snape would definitely not refuse.

But what is it called?

This is called coercion, is he Zhang Shaotian a person who does such a tasteless thing?

So Zhang Xiao never thought to tell Snape about it, but apparently Snape still took this into account.

In terms of hatred of Peter, Snape was by no means less than Blake.

Even Snape hated both, if it weren't for Blake's replacement of the Secret Man.

Although he looks down on Blake, he has to admit that Blake will not betray Potter even if he dies.

Zhang Xiao followed Snape to the small room at the back of the Potions classroom.

Very consciously found a small chair to sit on, and waited quietly.

Professor Snape's teaching style was completely different from that of several other professors.

He usually only says it once, and if he doesn't understand it, he's classified as a troll.

"Every wizard has a spell that fits very well with him."

Snape didn't even get water on this time, but simply cleared his mind and began to tell.

Zhang Xiao immediately thought of the original plot, and Harry's compatibility with the spell of removing your weapon was a natural pair.

Ginny's bat spirit spell and the weasley's women's unique fragmentation

"But more often than not, the spells that fit the most are the spells created by the wizards themselves.

It's hard to create spells, and there are often people who have all kinds of accidents because of creating spells, and don't lose their lives. ”

Snape said in an almost murmuring voice, looking at him with dark eyes:

"So Zhang, are you sure you want to create your own spell?"

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath: "Yes, I'm sure." ”

With a wave of his wand, the cabinet not far away suddenly opened, and a thick manuscript flew out, and after flipping a few pages at random, he handed it to Zhang Xiao:

"It's the idea I've ever created, and if you want to create a spell, it's all about having a strong belief and the right way.

and an extremely advanced theoretical foundation. ”

Snape looked at Zhang Xiao and said slowly:

"Zhang, I think you still have a lot of shortcomings in this regard."

The accumulation of theoretical knowledge is not enough, Zhang Xiao of course knows this problem, but he just wants to understand, but he does not plan to start creating now.

As Snape said, if creating spells were so simple, the wizarding world would not be able to contain a simple book.

In the following time, Snape carefully explained to Zhang Xiao the key points of creating the spell.

What excites Zhang Xiao the most is that the example he gave is - Shenfeng has no shadow!

Zhang Xiao had long been interested in this spell with the nature of black magic.

Professor Snape had really taken out the contents at the bottom of the box, presumably for the sake of catching Peter.

"Zhang, the effect of this spell—" Snape suddenly swung his wand and slammed it at the wall.

I heard a muffled 'poof' sound, and a huge cut suddenly appeared on the wall.

The key is that the movement is extremely fast, as if there is no delay, almost in an instant, it spans a distance of almost ten meters.

Strong! With this kind of spell, Zhang Xiao suspected that almost no one would be able to react unless he defended in advance.

"Zhang, let's start by breaking down the spell, Sectumsempra.

Sectum – means 'has been cut in the past' and the latter part of the sempra – means all the time.

Judging from the spell alone, do you understand what the effect of this spell is? ”

Zhang Xiao's eyebrows raised high:

"Professor, that's what this spell means. The goal has been cut in the past and will continue to be? ”

Is this magic? This effect. Zhang Xiao had always thought that the spell of Divine Blade Shadowless was similar to launching an invisible sword qi to slash people.

Good guys, is it still playing the top spell of time and concept?

Skipping the incision step and giving the goal directly to the fact of 'incision'?

Snape nodded with satisfaction, this is his favorite student, no need to talk nonsense, you only discipline, you definitely don't have to worry about not understanding and learning.

"Yes, but this is only the final summary of the spell, and it is only the first and the last step in the whole process of creation, and there are many other steps in between.

For example, "

Snape slowed down and cast the entire spell's casting gesture, benefiting from his time of making up for the standard spell system.

Zhang Xiao immediately discovered details that he had previously overlooked, such as the twisting and forward stabbing of Professor Snape's wrist.

The wand is wielded in the shape of a blade or something.

Gradually, Zhang Xiao found that she seemed to be divided into two people, one of whom was listening carefully to Professor Snape's guidance.

The other part is summarizing these things, comparing them with what they have already learned, or absorbing them.

Inside the Thinking Hut, the locked cabinet was quietly opened, and the book that exuded distorted power had become more and more stable.

Even the words on the cover are beginning to reveal - no curse.

Time seemed to fly by, just in the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Snape kept his mouth shut, and the impulse of human nature to be a good teacher was greatly satisfied.

There was even a strange idea that Harry Potter could also have Zhang Xiao's ability to learn.

It's not impossible to deduct one less point from him.

Soon, he was disgusted by this thought of his own, he quietly pursed his lips, looked at Zhang Xiao and said slowly:

"Zhang, these things are enough for you to think, let's get here here today."

Zhang Xiao slowly stood up, still immersed in the special state of learning before, and suddenly a spirit woke up.

Slightly confused, he asked, "Professor, is it over?" ”

Snape looked at him carefully, and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed:

"Zhang, seems very tired? No, why is your energy expended so much? ”

Before Zhang Xiao could answer, he fainted cleanly in front of him.

The familiar ceiling, the familiar smell, the familiar blackout curtains, it took Zhang Xiao almost a few seconds to get used to it when she opened her eyes.

So, I'm at the school infirmary again?

Zhang Xiao sat up, as always, in surprisingly good spirits, and there was a familiar small bottle on the cabinet beside him.

It was Professor Snape's specially made weakened version of the Water of Life and Death.

Zhang Xiao pinched the bridge of her nose, but she didn't expect that just learning a little new thing, she unknowingly entered the empty mirror.

Although it is not as good as the consumption of the battle, the duration of up to an hour can only be said to be a recent surge in his strength.

Otherwise, it would have fallen long ago.

But in the blessing of the Empty Realm, what Professor Snape said not only remembered very clearly, but also combined it with what he had learned.

A lot more understanding.

Zhang Xiao took the water cup next to the bed and drank it slowly, the difficulty in creating a spell actually lies in anchoring.

It's not complicated to say.

First of all, you need to know exactly what the effect of the spell you are creating.

This effect must be very, very clear, and there can be no deviation.

The next step is to break down the effects and anchor them with a well-established system of gestures and spells.

For example, which spells the gesture is commonly used for, what role it will do, and how to connect with the next action.

This pronunciation and tone are common for which spells

In this way, use the syllables and gestures of the spell to accurately present the effect of the spell you want.

That's spell creation!

Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly, the whole process sounds very simple, but it is very difficult to operate.

Because the mind is the most difficult to control, an immature mantra as long as there is a deviation in the time of experimentation.

God knows what the horrific consequences will be.

Difficult!

It's no wonder that creating spells requires an extremely deep theoretical foundation and talent, and Professor Snape is good at memorizing magic and controlling emotions.

And those who are extremely talented and like to delve into theories can embark on the path of creating spells.

Look at it this way. My own dean is really strong!

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but sigh in admiration, and then fell into contemplation again.

Professor Snape is right, this is indeed not something I can grasp at this stage.

After a long time, his eyes slowly lit up, and his heart was like a lightning bolt cutting through the sky, illuminating the heavens and the earth in an instant.

It was a flat boat above the nine heavens, with an empty mirror and a mixture of various factors, sending out a thunder talisman!

It is the power of the thunder that directly skips the drawing talisman and forms it at one time, so that everything is silent!

It's a wonderful fusion of magic and Taoism, a sight that no one has ever imagined!

Zhang Xiao suddenly laughed softly.

Maybe I can take a different path.

My own way!
