For some time to come, the most popular topic of conversation at school was Sirius Black.

News about him occupies an entire page of the Daily Prophet every day, and waiting for the owl to deliver the newspaper every morning has become the most anticipated thing for some people.

Plus, Harry has been excited lately. Almost every morning, he receives packages from owls, including but not limited to candy, clothes, or other novelty gadgets.

But none of this has anything to do with fifth grade.

It's like the professors are holding a competition to see who can wear down the students first, with more and more homework and more demanding, and even Kyle is not immune.

After all, not all professors would exempt him from his homework, such as Potions and Defence Against the Dark Arts classes.

After two weeks of learning the Iron Charm, Professor Moody decided to put them to a small test.

The test was supposed to take place last week, but the class was a disaster.

There were all kinds of students who mispronounced spells, stood still in a daze, and forgot their gestures, and Professor Moody was so angry that he had no choice but to postpone the test for another week.

"I don't mind telling you in advance." Professor Moody stood on the podium and said, "I'm going to use the Leg Lock Charm this time, and if you can't resist it, then unfortunately you'll have to jump away for the rest of the day." ”

Some people suddenly became nervous, but more often than not, they showed a look of indifference.

"I know you must be thinking, it's just a leg-locking spell, it's easy to unravel, even if it's not blocked...... That's right. ”

Professor Moody laughed, the scars on his face all huddled together, looking even more hideous, "But you'd better get rid of this idea now, for the Aurors' leg-locking spell, the usual solution to the spell is useless." ”

Then he asked everyone to stand on either side, greeted them in the order of the roster, and recited the leg lock spell to them.

Kyle noticed that the effect was much better than last week, at least as Professor Moody slowed it down, and the first two of them successfully cast the Iron Armor Charm, using an invisible wall to bounce the Lockleg Charm back.

But when it came to the third person, things changed, and one of the students didn't know if he was too nervous and forgot the spell.

Needless to say, his legs were tightly pressed together, and he could only jump and walk back, and he fell halfway through, almost breaking his nose.

When it was Kyle's turn, he stepped forward to the open space in the middle of the classroom.

Professor Moody raised his wand, and a flash of white light flew towards Kyle.

Some people were keenly aware that Professor Moody did not recite the incantation as loudly as before, and that the incantation appeared directly and without warning.

"Armor protection!"

The white light bounced back and flew straight towards Moody, but he dodged it.

"Very good, that's what it sounds like!" Professor Moody exclaimed, "Bounce the spell back to the opponent is what the Iron Charm really does, and the kind that flies around only means that you don't have enough of it...... Very good, Hufflepuff Plus ten! ”

Professor Moody gives Kyle a ten, but he doesn't get the homework waiver he wants.

After that, others also tested one after another, but the success rate was not high, only about half.

After class, those who didn't succeed had to jump like rabbits out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Listening to the tone of his voice, I thought we were going to be attacked at any moment."

Mikel limped down the stairs.

He failed at the beginning, and he took the make-up exam before class, and he fell down I don't know how many times during this period.

"yes, that's right, he talks like a paranoid ......"

Ryan next to him struggled to jump forward, he turned his head to look, and made sure that Professor Moody was already far away, before he whispered, "I heard that people in the Ministry of Magic don't like him and think he's too neurotic...... Even when he walked past him normally, he felt that the man was trying to harm him. ”

"Professor Moody may be a little harsh, but it's always good to learn more." Qiu, who was in the class with them, said, "And the Iron Armor Charm is also very important. ”

"I know." Ryan sighed, "But we have so much to do, how can we have time to study the Iron Armor Charm...... If. If L. doesn't show up, I still think it's better to put it in sixth grade, at least at that time we don't have any homework that we can't finish. ”

Ryan yawned, only to stumble and almost fall to the ground, but Kyle pulled him in time.

"It's so inconvenient, do you want me to help you untie it?" Kyle asked.

Professor Moody is right, normal anti-spells are really useless, this point has already been tried by students at the end of class just now, but the reduction spell should be fine, and if it doesn't work, all spells will end.

"Thank you...... Forget it. Ryan hesitated for a moment, but shook his head.

"Moody has a magic eye, who knows if he's watching us somewhere...... It just so happens that tomorrow is the weekend, so it's a big deal that I can't come out of the dormitory. ”

Ryan is very open-minded, and he will have to write his homework all day in the common room tomorrow anyway, maybe this will make him write faster.

Before that, though, he had to go to the underground classroom for the last Potions class of the week.

I don't know if it's a delusion, but Snape seems to be more moody when he comes back this time, which makes Potions class even more difficult.

The basement classroom was cold as if it was winter, and even when the doors opened, there was an eerie creaking sound.

"Quiet!" Snape said coldly.

In fact, this sentence was not necessary at all, as soon as everyone saw him come in, they immediately became silent, and all small movements stopped.

Generally speaking, Snape was the best tranquilizer at Hogwarts, and just standing there was enough to silence an entire school, better than Dumbledore.

"Today, we're going to formulate a palliative, which calms and soothes anxiety and is a common question in exams."

He said in a soothing tone, "But before I begin, I must remind you that potions are a rigorous discipline, and even the most expensive cauldron can't make up for a barren brain. ”

He looked around everyone's tables and seemed to be looking for something.

After watching the lap, Snape nodded in satisfaction, walked over to the blackboard and waved his wand: "Here's how to make it...... You'd better keep it firmly in mind, because if it is boiled so so, it will cause the person taking the medicine to fall into a deep, and sometimes unavoidable, lethargy. ”

Then he waved his wand again and opened the locker in the doorway.

"Take what you need, you still have an hour and a half, let's start......"
