The Dementors, the Hogwarts teachers, and the Aurors have turned the entire Hogwarts campus upside down in a single night.

It's a pity that they didn't get anything in the end......

Maybe the culprit has fled, or maybe it's still lurking in a corner of the castle.

Apparently, the fugitives were much more cunning than they thought.

And the following evening, and the next morning.

Wherever Matthew Wakefield appeared at the castle, all he could hear was about the Azkaban fugitives.

Many students were eagerly discussing how they broke through the layers of defenses and broke into the Hogwarts campus, and the rumors were getting more and more bizarre—

Some say that the fugitives were transformed into flowering bushes and slipped in under everyone's noses......

...... Others say that they may have mixed in with the students' pets, as early as the beginning of the school year......

...... Others say that they may have disguised themselves as professors early on, and perhaps several teachers have already been "replaced......

All in all, the public is talking about flying clouds, and it is getting more and more outrageous......

......

It's a pity that although there was such a "big accident", there was no delay in the course.

Before Matthew went to bed on Friday night, he suddenly saw the parchment of "after-school practice", shining with light -

This made the five students in the Slytherin dormitory very disappointed, and they thought that tomorrow's bi-weekly after-school practice would be postponed or even canceled......

Matthew looked at the parchment, and he saw that it showed that the instructor of their after-school practice this time was Professor Severus Snape, the teacher of the Transfiguration class!

It starts at half past eight on Saturday morning.

After-school practice is a new curriculum that began at Hogwarts almost fifty years ago......

The content of the book is divided into two groups of boys and girls (a total of eight groups) according to different faculties, and then a practice is carried out with different professors.

The frequency is bi-weekly, and the time is set on Saturday (instead of flying lessons). However, the specific content of the time and the schedule depends on the professor assigned to the group:

It could be very simple work that can be done in half an hour, or it could be physical work that lasts for a day......

Matthew: In the past nine months of this semester, they have gone through two after-class practices.

The first time they were in charge of their practice was Mr. Pringer, and it was an extremely bad Saturday...... Mr. Pringer gave them the task of wiping the windows of the entire castle with a rag...... They worked almost all the way from eight o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening, and when the practice was over, Crabbe and Goyle's two little fat mounds seemed to have lost a lot of weight......

The after-school practice of Mr. Pringer, the castle keeper, was the worst, the most boring, and the least popular...... This is recognized by all students at Hogwarts.

The second after-school practice took place at the end of September, and was led by Professor Bathilda Basshat, a teacher of the History of Magic class...... During this time, Professor Bassat has been compiling a modern history of magic, and Matthew's group is only tasked with helping Professor Bassat find some things in some manuscript materials.

It was relaxing and enjoyable...... From time to time, Professor Bassat told them a few interesting stories, and during the break, he asked the house-elf to bring out a plate of chocolate cake, which tasted very good.

Because of the after-school practice the next day, Matthew and his wife fell asleep on Friday night as soon as they returned to the Slytherin common room.

And the next morning, they also came to the auditorium early and quickly finished their breakfast.

At a quarter past eight, the five of them gathered in front of the Transfiguration teacher's office.

......

"Welcome!" Professor Severus Snape opened the door to his office and let all five students in.

"Mr. Wakefield, Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Noether, Mr. Crabbe, and Mr. Goyle......" Professor Snape nodded, "Sit down and rest for a while." ”

He took out his wand, and with a flick of it, five small benches appeared in front of them.

"Of course, we'll have to wait a little longer......" he added.

The five Slytherin second-year students all sat down one after the other.

Matthew quietly looked around, and the office seemed to have changed a lot from a year ago.

A year ago, when Professor Troka lived here...... The doors and windows are closed, and the curtains are completely closed, making it very dim...... There are even occasional stains of blood and chicken feathers on the floor......

But now, the whole office is flooded with abundant sunlight, illuminating it brightly.

Overall, the office was quite plain, like Principal Rozier's office, but a little different.

Principal Rozier's office is simply furnished and barely furnished.

But here, there are several bookshelves with all kinds of manuscripts and documents, and on the other side of the wooden table are many deformed knick-knacks...... In a way, the whole office is a bit cramped and a little shabby.

Draco Malfoy was staring at a teapot, half a teapot to be exact, on the small wooden table...... Its base is transformed into a small turtle, crawling slowly on the wooden table, looking somewhat comical and somewhat terrifying......

"Would you like a cup of tea?" Professor Snape said, looking left and right at the teapot that was finding him, "I was just about to make a pot of tea." ”

Matthew and the others could only nod a little crampedly: "Okay!"

Professor Snape seemed to find his teapot, and as he waved his wand at it, the tortoise on the pedestal began to crawl slowly towards him, while he opened a dusty jar: "But I only have tea bags here......"

Just as he was making tea, Professor Snape waved his wand again. Six glasses appeared in front of him, which was also a bit different, and the rest of Hogwarts usually used gold or silver cups.

"Would you prefer some sugar or cream?" the Transfiguration teacher continued.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, interrupting him.

"Come in," Professor Snape shouted, "the door is unlocked. ”

The door was open, and a timid boy appeared in the doorway.

"Professor Snape......" he whispered.

"Ah, Mr. Evans," Professor Snape smiled and nodded, "Okay, we're all here!"
