Chapter 222 Professor Flitwick Comes to the Rescue! Snape's Little Trick
For most students, the hypnotic effect of ancient runes is stronger than that of the history of magic.
As a hypnotic course, the history of magic can be understood as long as you memorize it carefully, but if you don't keep up with the ancient runes, you really can't figure it out.
It's no different from advanced mathematics.
In the first ancient rune class, few people understood it.
The few people who could understand it, such as Pansy, had a lot of exposure in advance because of their rich family background.
In order to brush achievement points and learn ancient magic, Argus had been exposed to a lot of ancient runes before.
The content taught in class was relatively simple for him, and with the praise of Professor Baburin, he scored five points for Slytherin.
At the end of the class, Argus quietly glanced at the time on the time converter.
"Fortunately, the time reserved for going to the first floor was not too rushed."
Argus walked out of the ancient rune classroom.
The classroom is located on the third floor of the west tower. It takes a long detour to go back to the bathroom on the first floor.
As he was going downstairs, an unexpected scene appeared.
He went down the stairs and happened to meet Draco and his group coming to class!
Seeing Argus coming down the stairs, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
"Argus? Didn't you go to the other side just now for something? How come... you ran ahead of us?"
Draco scratched his head, puzzled by Argus's ability to teleport.
Argus didn't expect to run into Draco here.
But thinking about the potion class that would be held later, it was reasonable for Draco and his group to come up from the Forbidden Forest.
Just as Argus was thinking about how to solve it, Professor Flitwick walked out of the classroom.
Although Hogwarts did not have a delayed class, most professors were still reluctant to take up students' spare time.
Professor Flitwick saw Argus coming down the stairs, and looked at the puzzled eyes of Draco and others.
He immediately realized something.
He took the initiative to speak up to help Argus out.
"Little wizards, please make way. Your Charms professor is not big enough to squeeze through you!"
Draco and his friends saw Professor Flitwick speaking, and they remembered that the next class was their dean's class.
They didn't dare to delay any longer and ran to the Potions classroom without stopping.
Until almost everyone around them had left, Argus took the initiative to speak.
"Thank you for your help, Professor Flitwick."
Professor Flitwick sighed: "Mr. Grindelwald, this should be your first time using the Time Turner, right?"
"Mr. Weasley, the head of Gryffindor, Miss Granger of Ravenclaw, and you..."
"If I'm not mistaken, Professor Snape should have told you about the precautions."
Argus nodded: "He did, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental."
Argus didn't ask Professor Flitwick how he guessed it.
Hogwarts professors are not fools. The class times of many courses conflict.
There is no other explanation for appearing in two places at the same time except the Time Turner.
Moreover, it is not unusual for some students with excellent grades and talents to choose all courses.
Although few, there are always a few every few years.
Professors will also take the initiative to cover up something to protect them.
Professor Flitwick stepped forward and tried to pat Argus's shoulder.
As a result, he found that he seemed to be not tall enough.
He could only withdraw his hand and continue: "Mr. Grindelwald, you are the most talented student in the history of Hogwarts. When using the time converter, you must be careful!"
"Don't get lost in the turbulence of time and space!"
"You are different from Miss Granger. When necessary, you can use some spells to assist."
Argus understood what Professor Flitwick meant.
As the head of Ravenclaw, who represents wisdom, Flitwick has never been a rigid person.
It is not incomprehensible to use some means to protect yourself without hurting other little wizards.
"I understand what you mean, Professor Flitwick!"
Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction.
"Remember, Mr. Grindelwald."
"Don't try to change history at any time."
"History cannot be changed. All your actions are accidental, but also inevitable!"
"Okay, go back quickly. It's not a bad thing to reserve some time in advance."
Agus didn't hesitate. After bowing and thanking, he walked towards the bathroom on the first floor.
At the right time, when the time converter was reset to zero, he pushed the door and walked into the boys' bathroom on the first floor.
Click, click, click!
The time converter issued a reset prompt.
The next second, his shadow slowly dissipated in front of him.
Agus knew that his first time travel was over.
"Fortunately, nothing happened!"
"I really don't know how Hermione managed to survive in the original book. She used the time converter back and forth every day and was not caught."
"I can only say that she is worthy of being the future Minister of Magic!"
After confirming the time, Agus came all the way to the Potions classroom.
As soon as he sat down, Draco came over and asked, "Argus, where did you come from just now?"
"Why are you so much faster than us?"
"Because you guys are laughing and joking, of course you walk slowly."
Argus pretended not to care, which didn't make Draco suspicious.
In this potion class, Harry and Ron were not there, and Gryffindor was deducted only three points.
It was because Seamus blew up his cauldron.
However, fortunately, the explosion was not large, and the prepared potion was not harmful.
The affected wizards only needed to be cleaned up.
After a few sarcastic remarks, Snape announced the end of the get out of class.
Only Argus was left, and he was asked to go to the office every day after class to deal with the potion materials.
Follow Snape to his office.
I saw a large pile of materials on the ground and a smoking crucible on the table.
Argus sighed in his heart, and was about to deal with it when he was stopped by Snape.
"No need to deal with these things."
"Today, you will be my assistant!"
As he said, he rolled up his sleeves, picked up a few wolfsbane Aconitum, and put them into the medicine scoop.
He threw it in front of Argus.
"Mash it into a paste."
"Okay, professor!"
Argus didn't delay, picked up the medicine scoop and started pounding.
This kind of physically demanding work is not that magic cannot be used, but it is impossible to control the strength and degree of crushing when pounding with magic.
In the end, the materials in the entire medicine scoop may be wasted.
Snape did not stop, repeatedly selecting from some materials that did not need to be processed.
Finally, he placed the selected materials and materials waiting to be processed on the table in order.
He even placed them in front of Argus.
Argus, whose arms were a little sore from pounding, looked up.
This... isn't this the material for the wolfsbane potion?
Damn! I knew that Snape's request for me to come here was definitely not that simple!
Look at these materials!
Which one is not carefully selected... the worst ones!
The main point is that it is drinkable!
