Malfoy did not reappear at the Slytherin table until Wednesday morning. He entered the Great Hall amid the cheers of the Slytherins, his right arm wrapped in a bandage and hung by a sling around his neck, like a hero surviving some terrible battle.
Seeing him like this, Harry and Ron looked disdainful, but Malfoy himself was complacent, and he made a provocative grimace at them both.
Harry turned his head to the side, trying to restrain himself, as if he didn't see Malfoy's provocation, he found that everyone around him was looking down at today's "Daily Prophet".
"What are you looking at?" Harry asked strangely.
"The latest on Sirius Black!" whispered Hermione, pushing him a newspaper.
Harry saw it read: Black was seen by a Muggle somewhere not far from Hogwarts. When the Ministry of Magic arrived, he had already left and was currently in the process of hunting.
It was speculated that Sirius Black was trying to get into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Harry swallowed, what did Sirius Black do in Hogwarts, is it really the same as Mr. Weasley said, he wanted to kill himself? !
The thought of being watched by such a lunatic suddenly made Harry lose his appetite, and what made him feel even more disgusted was that he had to rely on the dementors outside the castle for protection.
"It's too bad, he appeared somewhere not far from here!" Ron said worriedly, "This Black, how did he escape the pursuit of the dementors?"
"Maybe it's the Patronus Charm?!"
"That's impossible, he doesn't have a wand, and there are two hundred dementors out there." Hermione said quickly, "Do you know what that means?"
Seeing Harry, Ron, and Hermione whispering, Ivan did not participate in their discussion. The question he needs to consider now is how to control Pettigrew Peter and get in touch with Sirius Black smoothly.
These two things are easier said than done, but fraught with difficulty.
The easiest way is undoubtedly to go to Dumbledore and tell him that Ron's rat spotted was transformed by Peter Pettigrew. With Dumbledore's witty calculations, as long as he gets this information, he will be able to figure out the whole incident.
The problem is, this is the same as dealing with Tom Riddle's diary last year. Ivan doesn't know how to explain to the other party, how he knows that Scabbers is Peter Pettigrew.
Knowing everything but being unable to do anything is a bad feeling.
Ivan sighed. It seemed that everything was still up to him. There was no rush to get to Sirius Black. Let’s find a way to control Peter Pettigrew. He remembered that there was a very useful potion in "Power Potion".
Just as Ivan was concentrating, Malfoy suddenly walked over the long table. He stood behind Harry with a malicious gleam in his eyes.
"Have you seen your mate Hagrid lately?"
No one paid any attention to him, and Harry and Ron clenched their fists tightly, trying to restrain themselves.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid he won't be able to be a teacher again," said Malfoy, with feigned distress. "My dad is not happy about my injury!"
"Get the hell out of here before I beat you to the ground, Malfoy," growled Ron.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so impulsive. It won't do you or your good friend Hagrid any good. You'll know soon..." Malfoy's eyes fell on the newspaper in Harry's hand , continued, "Well, Potter, do you want to single-handedly try to catch Black?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"Of course, if I were you..." Malfoy's thin lips curled into a mean smile, "I'm not going to stay in school and be a good boy, I'll be looking for him everywhere."
"What are you talking about, Malfoy?" said Ron roughly.
"Don't you know, Potter?" Malfoy's pale eyes narrowed, and he let out a low sneer, "If I were you, I would choose revenge, and I would find him myself."
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Harry said angrily.
"It really disappoints me, you probably don't want to risk your life in the hope that those dementors will deal with him, don't you?"
"Malfoy, if you have anything to say, you can either say it freely, or get out of here." Ron took out his wand.
"Five points from Gryffindor!" Snape walked over without a sound, sneering, "Weasley, put away your wand, I don't want to see you spitting those disgusting slugs everywhere. "
Ron blushed, Malfoy smirked, and followed Snape away.
Harry kept looking at his back, wondering what he was thinking.
"Damn it, why should Snape deduct points? It was obvious that Malfoy came over to provoke him first, saying something incomprehensible." Ron said angrily.
"You shouldn't have given him a chance. Snape had been staring at us just now, and he was waiting for you to show his weakness." Hermione whispered.
"He wants to deduct points, so he can find any excuse." Ron picked up his schoolbag, "There are two whole Potions classes this morning, I hope it won't be too difficult."
In fact, third year potions class was almost a disaster, with Harry and Ron cutting up Malfoy's potions for an entire class, and Snape threatening Neville to poison his pets unless he could Cook out the antidote by yourself.
In the end, with the help of Hermione, Neville's antidote successfully passed the test, but Snape still deducted five points from Gryffindor on the grounds that Neville's toad was not dead.
All the little wizards in Gryffindor thought they could tolerate Snape to the extreme, but this was obviously not the limit that Snape could do.
Soon, everyone experienced for themselves what despair is, and this may be the third omen.
It happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon of the third grade. Professor Lupine found a Boggart for everyone. This is a dark creature that can transform. s things.
Ivan didn't know what other people were afraid of, but it was obviously Snape that Neville was most afraid of in the world.
With Lupin's encouragement, Neville cast a spell to turn "Snape" into a comical figure: he was wearing a long, lace-embroidered dress, and a tall hat with a A moth-eaten old vulture specimen, dangling a huge scarlet handbag.
This story spread like wildfire on campus, and it spread fast.
The Gryffindors laughed all night long, and the laughter quickly died down in Snape's ensuing storm of revenge.
Now as soon as Professor Lupine's name was mentioned, Snape's eyes flashed a threatening light; he bullied Neville even more than before, and Ginny secretly told Ivan in the Potions class the next day that she At noon, I saw Neville secretly wiping tears.
Aiwen sympathizes with Neville's experience, but they are in danger now.
In Potions class of the second year, Snape walked up and down, looking at every student of Gryffindor College with a gloomy look, and found all kinds of reasons to deduct points for them.
In less than an hour, he deducted more than 50 points from everyone, and successfully made three girls cry.
In this class, except for Ivan, no one successfully completed their potion.
Snape glared at Ivan, but ignored him. He satirized the others severely, and assigned so much homework that it was almost impossible to complete.
As for the poor Boggart, it was said that Snape used a spell to blow it into thousands of wisps of smoke and completely disappeared.
Ivan felt very sorry for this, and he wanted to see what he was most afraid of.
