Chapter 18: A Promise with Hermione, the Room of Requirement
When it came time to practice, Snape asked two people to make a scabies potion.
Zicomo decisively pulled Hermione to the table on the edge of Gryffindor.
This place is not only far from Harry, but also has a certain distance from Seamus.
The two, one being watched by Snape, had the illusion of being surrounded by venomous snakes all the time. As for the other, Zicomo, who has read the original book, knows that this is a blasting genius.
Zicomo still likes explosions, otherwise he wouldn't be researching the magic version of grenade mines. But he also doesn't want to blow up whatever he encounters.
However, he did all the calculations and missed the little confused Neville.
Neville, with a poor memory, forgot he had not dealt with the porcupine's thorn and threw it directly into the cauldron.
Soon the liquid in the cauldron began to surge, and it exuded a corrosive smell. The boiling potion began to splash out, and the water was about to fly to the surrounding little wizards.
Zicomo promptly took out his wand and fired a shot at the cauldron to clean it up.
Seeing that the confusion was resolved, Snape didn't say that he would give Zicomo extra points or deduct points for Neville. He threw the sentence "Remember to read the steps on the blackboard" and went to inspect the production process of other little wizards.
After class, the little witch who had been holding back a lot of doubts pulled Zicomo to ask questions again and again.
"Cousin, what did you mean by the language of flowers in class? Why did Professor Snape target Harry? Do you know something?"
"Shh! It's a secret." Zicomo put his index finger to his lips and blinked.
Hermione looked around at the little wizard watching them, and nodded knowingly.
This is an agreed action between her and her cousin. When something is inconvenient to say in public, she will put it on hold for the time being, and then find an opportunity to pass the news quietly.
This is the magical world after all, so there might be some kind of eavesdropping magic.
You must know that now the whole of Hogwarts is in the hands of Dumbledore, and all the portraits in the house are his eyeliner.
Zicomo used to want to rant when watching a movie. Every time those people talked about some secret topics, it gave people a feeling of loud conspiracy.
It seems that Hagrid's dragon in the original book was discovered by Draco in this way, without any sense of precaution.
Back in the room, Zicomo wrote an article about how Snape's childhood sweetheart Lily was robbed of love by James and was bullied on campus by the four villains of Gryffindor headed by James.
After writing thousands of words, she wrapped an envelope and added a magic seal, which made Erro run to the girls' dormitory through the window.
The magic seal on the envelope came from Mr. Serian, and Zicomo only told Hermione the solution. If it is forcibly opened by others, the entire letter will be reduced to ashes.
After writing the letter, Zicomo lay on the bed to continue his journey of fighting zombies.
He thought he could get the clearance reward after finishing the first week of the game yesterday, but the system told him that he needed to finish all the mini-games and clear the second week of the game to get the golden sunflower trophy to get the clearance reward.
No way, he can only repeat his farming work.
In fact, it is not difficult for him to clear the customs after opening the command.
The difficulty is that there are more zombies and each level takes longer.
And you have to be careful that your plants are not eaten by zombies.
Fortunately, this version can run in the background, otherwise Zicomo would have been staring at the virtual screen all the time.
On the other side, the little witch who received the letter said that the story is very exciting. The melon is very sweet and delicious. Please tell her about this kind of melon next time.
…………
Zicomo didn't expect that his Potions class remarks made Snape stare at him.
In Potions classes since then, Snape would have Zicomo answering his questions after he'd made things difficult for Harry.
The knowledgeable Zicomo was naturally able to answer easily, so Harry was out of luck.
Gryffindor takes a few points off every Potions class for him, sometimes more.
So much so that every time the seniors and seniors of the senior year see their school's scores being deducted again, they will subconsciously figure out whether they are taking potions again in their first year.
And these points will be made up by Zicomo and Hermione in other classes.
Word has spread throughout the school that Gryffindor has produced two talented students.
Originally, Zicomo's low-key should not be so famous, but he has a loving and responsible cousin.
Hermione thought that since the credits were deducted from her grade, she naturally had to earn them back from her grade.
So she actively raised her hand to answer questions in all classes, and she earned points for Gryffindor in almost all classes, except for Potions and History of Magic.
Snape's attention in class was all on Harry, and Cuthbert Binns of History of Magic never gave his students extra points.
What can you expect an old ghost to do other than lecture?
He doesn't even care about classroom discipline. Every time he lectures, the little wizards in the audience are all falling asleep.
Well, it's more and more like a university.
And Zicomo, as Hermione's cousin, will naturally be studied by the teachers.
Then the teachers found out that this is a genius as good as Hermione.
This made Professor McGonagall happy, and every day Professor Flitwick complained to her that the Grangers should be in Ravenclaw.
That's when Professor McGonagall would justify saying they belonged to Gryffindor.
To this end, she also publicly stated that she invited the Granger siblings to join her Transfiguration club.
As soon as the news came out, the fame of the two brothers and sisters became even more prominent. After all, this was the first time a first-year wizard could join Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration club, and two.
Most of them are masters who are proficient in Transfiguration, or students who are quite talented in Transfiguration.
As far as common sense is concerned, the minimum students who can join are all transfiguration masters in the third grade or above.
This resulted in a bunch of little wizards watching wherever Zicomo went.
Somewhat slightly socially apprehensive, he wished to develop a wizard exorcism spell for himself.
Hermione didn't care about it. She had been the first in her grade for six years in elementary school, and she had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, not to mention that she was accompanied by her cousin now.
What she cares about is whether her level of Transfiguration has reached the standard. In order not to lose face at the next meeting of the club, she now pesters Zicomo every day to accompany her to practice Transfiguration.
…………
In Gryffindor's lounge, Hermione was casting Transfiguration on an apple with her wand raised.
The apple twisted and changed, and soon became a third-order Rubik's cube.
Seeing such a result, she was still not satisfied.
"Alas, the progress of Transfiguration is still too slow."
Zicomo put down his book and joked: "Don't let Harry and Ronald hear this, they can't hear Versailles like this."
It's been two or three weeks since the start of school, Harry is okay, the shape of the target can be changed in Transfiguration class, and Ronald is still making no progress.
Zicomo guessed that it might be the reason why the wand didn't fit him well, and the wand he's using now is his older brother Charlie's.
Although the wand between blood relatives can be inherited, it is not his own after all.
What's more, his wand had not been properly cared for and had long since worn out.
"But what I said is the truth. At my level, the Transfiguration Club will definitely not be able to do it next time!"
The little witch has been a little irritable recently, and practicing Transfiguration requires concentration and not being disturbed.
Obviously the lounge is not a good place to practice, there are often little wizards coming and going.
"Isn't there a classroom dedicated to practicing magic?" Hermione complained.
"Hmm, why don't you just find an empty classroom?" Zicomo said lazily, leaning on the sofa, "Why don't you go to Professor McGonagall and ask, if it doesn't work, you can go to our principal... Wait! The principal! Room, eighth floor! How could I forget this!"
Zicomo bounced off the sofa, took Hermione's hand and ran quickly towards the lounge.
When the two came to the eighth floor of the castle, Hermione was at a loss.
"Cousin, what are we doing here?"
"Wait." Zicomo didn't answer.
He took Hermione to the opposite tapestry where the troll stick beat Barnabas the fool, and walked back and forth three times.
In Hermione's surprised eyes, a smooth door appeared on the wall.
Zicomo opened the door and explained to Hermione:
"This is a place I accidentally discovered. As long as you concentrate on thinking about the venue you need, and walk through the wall three times, this room will be arranged according to your needs. The corresponding scene."
"A magical room! Also, are you sure you didn't find it accidentally when you got lost?"
While surprised, Hermione did not forget to make fun of Zicomo.
Zicomo didn't speak, rolled his eyes, and walked into the room.
He couldn't say that he knew about this place in his previous life, right?
PS: I saw that a brother gave me a reward! Many thanks! One more chapter later! ! ! *
