Harry Potter and the Old Ones

"Of course." Tiera agreed with a smile, "If you still want to continue studying, one of the requirements for becoming an associate researcher at New Miskatonic University is to refine a magic stone by yourself... I think There is no harm in letting you familiarize yourself with the refining process of the magic stone in advance."

"Oh, my God, thank you so much, Tiera, you are great!" With that, Hermione gave Tiera a hug excitedly.

"Tip, Tiera, I too, I also want to watch you refining the Sorcerer's Stone." Harry said.

"Let's wait until you have thoroughly understood the knowledge in the Half-Blood Prince's potions book." Tiera said unceremoniously, "At least you should improve the accuracy of the daily contacts I left for you in the black magic class. Let’s wait until it reaches more than 80 percent.”

"But I got more than eighty-six points in several contacts," Harry argued dissatisfied.

"Without looking at the scratch paper that Hermione checked," Tiera revealed ruthlessly.

"Okay." Harry was silent for a moment, lowered his head and began to enjoy his dinner.

After they finished their dinner and were about to return to Gryffindor Tower, Horace Slughorn suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Aha! Harry! I've been waiting to see you!" Horace Slughorn said cheerfully, thinking about the tips of his walrus-like beard and pushing out his round belly.

"I originally wanted to find you before dinner, but apparently you seemed to have something and delayed it for a while." Horace Slughorn said with a red face, "How about having dinner in my office tomorrow night? We are going Have a little party, just a few of the new stars - MacLoughan, Burns will be there, and the charming Melinda - I wonder if you know her? Her family are pharmacists - and, of course Mr. Tiera, and our Miss Granger if you like."

After Horace Slughorn finished speaking, he gave Hermione a small, gentlemanly bow.

Despite Ron's displeasure, Horace Slughorn didn't even look at him.

"I may not be able to go, Professor," Harry said immediately. "I have to go to Professor Snape's for solitary confinement tomorrow afternoon and evening."

"Oh, my Merlin!" exclaimed Horace Slughorn, and then his face darkened comically, "I was counting on you to go, Harry! Well then... um... I'll go. Explain the situation as Severus did. I promise I can convince him to postpone your confinement. Well, see you tomorrow night!"

With that, Horace Slughorn hurriedly left the hall.

"There's no way he can convince Snape." Harry said irritably after Horace Slughorn walked away.

"That's not necessarily the case." Tiera said with a smile.

"Do you think Horace can convince Snape?" Harry asked in disbelief.

"Horace Slughorn is an extremely pleasure-seeking and vain person, but he is not a bad person at heart. To be precise, he likes to associate with celebrities, successful people, and important people, and enjoys the feeling of influencing these people. "Tiera said, "As a teacher, he turns a blind eye to mediocre students and can't even remember their names. But relatively speaking, he can always notice and discover students with outstanding talents to join his circle and provide them with Special treatment.”

"Although Severus Snape may appear to you as three middle-aged wizards with sallow faces, gloomy eyes, greasy hair, and a terrible temper." Tiera said, "But in fact, Snape himself is During his studies at Hogwarts, he showed his talents in Potions and Charms very early. When he first entered school, the spell reserve in his mind was no less than that of most Hogwarts students who were about to graduate at that time. Gewoz seventh grader.”

"Even now, he is a powerful wizard who specializes in black magic and its defense, potions, charms, and occlumency." Tiera said with a smile, "In a few months, I will have the entire European Ministry of Magic After the power has been fully digested, I will purchase academic magic journals that are basically internationally renowned from Hogwarts and the British wizarding community."

"You will soon find that the name Severus Snape shone like a morning star in the journal Magic Potions more than ten years ago." Tiera said, "So it is obvious that Severus Snape Snape was also under the care of Horace Slughorn."

"You mean Snape might care about the relationship between teacher and student?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

Tiera nodded.

"I hope so," Harry muttered.

As long as tomorrow's confinement can be postponed, Snape's confinement can only be postponed because Harry has classes in the afternoon and Tiera's new education regulations prohibit teachers from occupying students' rest time for any reason. to a week later.

Although there is still no way to escape confinement in the end, it can be delayed a little bit.

"Alas" Harry looked at Tiera longingly, and then sighed helplessly, "It would be great if I could be imprisoned under your hands."

Some time ago, Miss Mercedes Amicitia, a female fire dragon from the United States, was imprisoned by Tiera because she burned down her dormitory.

Of course, Tiera believed that education should be the main focus, so she gave her three choices -

One, help Hagrid patrol the Forbidden Forest for a month.

Tiera believed that with Mercedes Amicitia's strength and temper, there should be no creature in the Forbidden Forest that could threaten her life and property.

No matter how many magical creatures there are in the Forbidden Forest, to put it bluntly, they are just a bunch of beasts with higher IQs. The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, and the hard ones are afraid of their lives.

Second, be a teaching assistant for Tiera's black magic class for a month.

Mainly to help Tiera organize the slow class with a large number of lower grade wizards.

Although Tiera had experience as a tutor before traveling through time, most of it was one-on-one or one-on-two, or one-on-five at best.

Tiera has never encountered the situation of managing such a large team of adolescent children aged eleven, two, three, four or five years old.

Third, it is to help the administrator Fitch manage the use of magic spells and magic props by students in the corridors.

These three tasks are urgent tasks within Hogwarts.

Of course, Mercedes Amicitia finally chose the second option, becoming a teaching assistant in the slow class of black magic class to help maintain order.

After dinner they returned to Gryffindor Tower.

Although Tiera implemented Chinese-style education at Hogwarts, she did not set up evening self-study, so the young wizards at Hogwarts still enjoyed a long period of free time.

There were many people in the Gryffindor common room, and Hermione picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet that had been thrown on the sofa and started reading.

Harry was holding the Potions textbook of the Half-Blood Prince, while Tiera lowered her head and calculated something.

Ron has been in a bad mood since meeting Slug. He has been looking at the ceiling with his arms raised.
