In terms of timing, Ivan is not qualified to talk about Hermione.
He also has a lot to do besides the normal school curriculum.
Every afternoon when there is no class, I go to the Response Room to make potions. In the evening, I review and edit newspaper articles with Hermione in the library. After returning to the common room, I finish the work assigned by the professors with Colin and Ginny. Homework after class, quietly studying black magic books in the bedroom in the dead of night, etc.
There is not enough time at all, and Ivan feels that he also needs a time converter, so that he can arrange time more flexibly when his body can handle it.
Looking at the thick magic book and parchment in front of Hermione, Aiwen prepared to brew some potions for her that could concentrate and improve concentration.
All in all, after the holiday, he returned to the familiar and busy school life.
Early the next morning, when Ivan and Colin walked into the auditorium for breakfast, they saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione sitting at the dining table, discussing the course schedule.
"After Professor Lupine left, there are new changes in this semester's curriculum." Ron looked at the timetable and said happily, "It's really great. Today, the third grade only has Sirius' Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
"This is Sirius' first class, the only catch is that he's going to be with the Slytherins," Harry continued, grabbing some sausages and fried tomatoes.
"What did you say he prepared for us?" Ron asked expectantly.
"I don't know, but I hope Sirius's first class goes well. If Malfoy dares to make trouble in class, I won't let him go."
"Relax, Harry! Sirius is not Hagrid, he won't let Malfoy mess with him, I hope Malfoy will ask for it, and let Sirius kick him out." Ron spread his bread Serve with thick jam.
"The class schedule for the third grade is really good. The second grade has Potions class in the morning and History of Magic in the afternoon. We don't have Defense Against the Dark Arts class until Friday." Colin said disappointedly, and he also shared what he just got. The schedule was flipped out.
"That's bad enough, seeing Snape on the first day of school." Ron wrinkled his nose, as if recalling something bad.
Thinking of Snape's face when he left yesterday, Ivan nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Ivan!" Harry raised his head and said, "Hagrid just wrote me a note, he invited us to drink tea with him this afternoon, and by the way, help him to see what will be used in the new semester courses s things."
"I'll go, what did Hagrid prepare?" Ivan picked up his own bread.
"Probably some other kind of caterpillar, after those Flobber caterpillars are all dead, he needs something new for his lessons." Harry said uncertainly, with a hint of worry in his tone, "Did he promise?" We, before the outcome of Buckbeak's case, will not rush to create new dangerous magical creatures?!"
"He did say that, but the problem is that Hagrid's definition of danger is different from other people." Ron stuffed a large piece of bread covered with jam into his mouth, "Those monsters with fangs, In his eyes, he may just be a cute and good baby."
"That's why we need to help him choose a suitable magical creature." Hermione stuffed a thick magic book into her schoolbag, "I'm going first, see you later!"
"What's the matter with Hermione? I just saw her class schedule, which is different from ours. She has three classes this morning." Looking at Hermione's back, Ron frowned and said, "Last time That's it for the semester, she's got her timetable wrong, I don't understand, she must be hiding something from us"
Hearing Ron's words, Ivan and Harry lowered their heads hurriedly. They knew the reason, but they promised to keep the time converter a secret for Hermione.
Ron was still muttering there, until Harry said that after watching Hagrid this afternoon, he could take the Firebolt out for a test flight and let Ron ride the Firebolt, he forgot about it .
Twenty minutes later, people went to the first class, and the auditorium began to empty.
Ivan separated from the elated Harry and Ron, and he followed the depressed Colin to the basement classroom. It's best not to be late for the Potions class.
As soon as they opened the door and went in, they saw Snape standing gloomily on the podium.
"Mason, Creevey, you two are late, this class started five minutes ago!" Snape looked at the two of them in disgust, "Ten points deducted from Gryffindor, now hurry back to yourself Sit down in your seat."
"But, Professor"
"Five more points from Gryffindor," said Snape icily, "don't ask any questions until I agree."
Aiwen and Colin did not continue to argue with him. They saw Ginny winking, and the two hurried to their respective seats and sat down.
As he sat down, Colin whispered, "Does he even know what he's doing? There's ten minutes until class!"
"We'd better be careful, Snape's not in the right shape today."
Everything was just as Ivan said, Snape's attitude was a hundred times worse than usual.
For students who weren't in Slytherin House, today's potions were a total ordeal.
Snape first commented on the vacation homework one by one in acrimonious and mean language. In his narration, everyone's homework was completely useless, even worse than the first-year students. He directly gave a lot of people zero points and asked them to resubmit a paper on moonstone next week.
He then divides the group into pairs and instructs them to mix a common antidote.
Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them weigh dried nettles, crush snake fangs, and almost all the students were criticized.
Several Gryffindor and Hufflepuff girls were even told to cry by Snape.
Under Snape's supervision, no one except Aiwen could successfully complete his potion. Because of this, Snape deducted a lot of points from everyone. Gryffindor was the hardest hit area. By the end of Potions class, Gryffindor lost more than 200 points.
"I really don't understand, what the hell is he trying to do?"
When going to the auditorium for lunch, Ginny complained to Alvin, "Is he trying to scare all the girls to tears?!"
"I was about to cry just now. If Ivan hadn't reminded me not to put the porcupine quills in boiling water, the cauldron would definitely explode!" Colin said with lingering fear.
"Yes, Ivan was deducted 20 points for this." Ginny said bluntly, "because he successfully prevented his classmate's cauldron from exploding."
Ivan did not participate in their discussion. Snape was indeed very abnormal today, and must have something to do with Sirius.
What must have happened between them last night? !
Based on Ivan's understanding of Sirius, he might be impatient to fight Snape and decide the outcome.
It's not clear how it turned out, but Snape seemed to transfer all his hatred of Sirius onto the students of Gryffindor House.
His behavior this morning was abnormal to the extreme, and his attitude was even worse than that of Neville's blogger incident last time. Usually, that's the only way he would treat Harry.
When Ivan walked into the auditorium, he realized that the atmosphere inside was as abnormal as Snape. (.)
