Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Page 280

Even so, he often felt ashamed of himself. For example, his notes always looked messy and he often felt that he had memorized the wrong knowledge points.

Fortunately, Defense Against the Dark Arts always helps him regain his confidence.

Harry was naturally happy to see that Ron had regained interest in the effort, and the two found an empty classroom to practice spells.

But learning spells is difficult to achieve overnight.

By the time they graduate, some people can use the levitation spell to float a car, while others can only use it to move a table.

This was also true for most of the courses in school. Sometimes it would take them two or three classes or even half a month to learn a spell.

But at the SSC meeting, Harry found it very easy to learn spells. In most cases, he only needed about ten minutes to successfully cast a spell. For some particularly difficult ones, one or two days would be enough.

Most of their practice time is spent on familiarizing themselves with spells and increasing their power.

They spent more than an hour learning the barrier spell, but Ron's "barrier" was so severe that Harry broke it with just an ordinary repulsive spell.

"Well done!" He tried not to show his disappointment and said, "Very good! Your spell stopped me for a bit!"

But after spending so much time together, Ron naturally saw that his words were not sincere, and he couldn't help but feel strongly frustrated.

"Don't comfort me. I know I'm still far from this level." Ron looked down at his wand, a little dejected.

"Vide Grey?"

Ron hesitated, about to speak.

Harry didn't notice it. He looked at the time and urged, "It's time to go to the Herbology class. Let's go!"

……

The students put away their dragon-skin gloves and shovels, and walked out, exhausted and smelling of dragon dung. Vader stayed behind last.

"Wait a moment," he said to Michael. "I have something to ask Professor Sprout."

"Then I'll wait for you at the door." Michael brushed off the dirt on his body and said, "I'm going to breathe some sweet fresh air."

Wade walked to the other end of the greenhouse, where Professor Sprout was checking the transplanted plants.

Professor Sprout takes care of these magical plants tenderly, as if he were taking care of his own children.

"Professor," Vader said as he approached.

"Oh, Vader." Professor Sprout wiped his hands on his apron and asked with a smile on his face, "What's the problem?"

"I want to ask, has Professor Dumbledore not come back yet?" Wade said, "I haven't seen him."

She hesitated for a moment, then thought of the fact that Wade was also involved in that incident, so she said, "It's about settling those children."

"Those children?" Wade paused and said, "I heard that Maybelle...I mean, Mo Mo Ran ran away?"

Chapter 402 V Area

"Yes, she ran away... Maybe I shouldn't say this from my perspective, but I think... it's a good thing she ran away."

"What happened?" Vader asked.

"The Ministry of Magic wants to execute that girl, and they don't want to let the child who was rescued with her go easily."

Professor Sprout, remembering the argument she had heard on the ship a few days ago, could not help but get angry. She said:

"They are planning to incarcerate these kids, and I heard some people say they won't let them go until they are at least adults and proven to be no longer a threat."

She said this angrily, her nostrils flaring, and she took a deep breath before saying:

"After the girl escaped, the Ministry of Magic suddenly realized that anger and hatred would breed more powerful dark creatures. They were afraid of being retaliated by the Obscurus, so they suddenly changed their tune and said that they could consider treating those children more leniently."

She said this in a mocking tone, and her expression was almost similar to Professor Snape.

Wade asked, "But there is still controversy about how to deal with it?"

"Actually, I can understand their thinking... and some of the children are indeed older. Even if they enter the school, they will graduate soon, but they will most likely not be able to pass the wizard level test."

"Later, both sides made concessions. Children over the age of eleven could not be admitted to the school as an exception. However, the Ministry of Magic specially approved a sum of money for them to take correspondence courses in introductory magic. This way, after graduation, they will have mastered some simple magic and at least be able to find a way to support themselves."

"Correspondence courses?" Wade asked in confusion, "I thought there was only one school of magic in the whole of Britain, Hogwarts!"

Professor Sprout smiled tolerantly: "Of course, there is only Hogwarts in the UK, but there are also some wizards who will open a magic correspondence course in their own yards, recruit a few crappy students, and teach some simple household magic - in fact, they are all tricks to fool people."

"Once they are all settled, perhaps next week, Dumbledore should return to school."

Wade had been planning to ask about the whereabouts of those ordinary children who couldn't do magic, but when he saw that students for the next class had already started to enter the greenhouse, he thanked Professor Sprout and said goodbye.

Once outside, Wade joined Michael.

"There's still more than an hour until History of Magic!" Michael said, "How about going to the maze and arranging a competition?"

Wade happened to be feeling a little depressed recently and wanted to relax.

The two turned a corner and headed towards the maze.

Ron and Harry, who had just come out of the castle, also saw the two people turning from afar.

Harry immediately said sympathetically, "It's bad luck for anyone who goes to the maze today."

……

Wade did not use enlarged insects to bully children in the maze as Harry had imagined.

Most of the students who could still play in the maze during normal class hours were lower grade students with fewer classes. When they saw Wade, they ran away as if they were afraid that they would be caught by him if they ran too slowly.

"Hahahaha... Wade, you're being treated as the god of plague... hahahaha..."

"I don't plan to use insects to bully them today..." Wade said helplessly.

"Okay, the next batch can come in!"

It happened that Hagrid was on duty in the maze today. He opened the entrance of the maze and shouted, but there was no sign of the little wizards who had been eager to get in in the past.

Hagrid put his hands on the bush wall in surprise and looked out, and saw only Wade and Michael standing outside.

"Ahem!" Michael coughed dryly, stopped laughing and said seriously, "They all went to class."

"Well..." Hagrid muttered disappointedly, "Looks like there's no one else. Do you two want to come in?"

"Uh..." Michael hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let's go. Now that we're here..."

Wade took the lead and Michael hurriedly followed: "Let's make it clear first, Wade, we only pass the level, not compete, OK?"

"What is it?"

Michael asked curiously, but Wade smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

At the entrance behind him, vines stretched and closed together, weaving like a weave, closing the gap in the wall.

Behind the wall, Hagrid, sitting on a rock, put down his pink umbrella and picked up the ball of yarn and a handful of hair of an unknown animal at his feet.

"Oh, I'm going to make a belt out of the hair of the Chimera, the old one is about to break."

"Would you like one? I could make one for you, too," Hagrid asked, as he tangled the yarn and fur together with his thick fingers.

Michael looked at the belt that was thicker than his arm and quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it. I can't use it."

Wade also greeted Hagrid, and then said, "Professor Hagrid, we are going to Area V."

Hagrid picked up the pink umbrella and knocked on the wall, and an arched entrance appeared in the bush wall.

"Go ahead, and be careful," said Hagrid.

"Got it, thank you."

Vader waved his hand and walked inside.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this is a newly opened area."

Wade said, leading the way. Michael looked back at the sealed entrance, then at the walls on both sides that were getting higher and higher, and felt that the surroundings were unusually quiet.

It's not like this usually -

Once you step into the maze, every step may be a trap and a challenge.

So even if you enter the maze along the same route repeatedly, you may encounter new "surprises" every time. This is the fun of the Hogwarts maze.

Michael recalled the process of his previous cautious steps in the maze, comparing it with the silence at this moment, and felt a strange sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He couldn't help but want to find something to say.
