Chapter 24: Make-up Potions Lesson
.As soon as the news was released, the little wizards became even more enthusiastic.
For a time, almost everyone was discussing this matter.
As for Lockhart being captured?
Not many people care about him anymore.
Ever since his news appeared in the newspapers, his fans have lost their enthusiasm for him.
How much I admired him before, now I hate him so much.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was taken over by an Auror.
After this Auror took over the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, he began to teach wizards some commonly used protective spells.
Overall, he is a pretty good teacher.
Unfortunately, he could only teach for one year.
"After all, I am still a working Auror and was assigned by the Ministry of Magic to teach as a substitute for one year."
The Auror named Spike said this in class.
After experiencing the powerful Quirrell and the braggart Lockhart, the young wizards loved him very much.
The time soon came to Thursday.
Time always disappears quickly like Merlin taking off his socks.
Lumi came to the Potions classroom.
After all, he still had to make up for the Potions class he missed last time, and he didn't know how much venom Snape would spray on him.
Sitting next to Draco again, waiting for Professor Snape to come in for class.
“There won’t be many people there on Saturday.”
Draco whispered to Lumi: "Goyle and Crabbe have enough food to keep you busy for a while."
"It doesn't matter. Professor Sprout allows me to use the power of house elves. I believe they will not let me down."
After Lumi finished speaking, he handed a piece of paper to Draco.
"You can write the cake you want to eat on it, and I will prepare an extra one for you when the time comes."
"Ha, I've been waiting for your words."
Draco was very happy, lying on the table and writing something on the note.
In his opinion, Lumi clearly regarded himself as a friend by doing this.
Due to the lack of friends of the same age, Goyle and Crabbe were just followers to him, and they were only willing to follow him because of his surname.
As for Lumi, since he gave him face in front of all the freshmen last year, Draco has been happy to communicate with Lumi.
It's just that he didn't like the loner temperament exuded by Lumi last year.
This year, he received a mission from his father to build a good relationship with Lumi.
At first he thought it was a difficult task, but he didn't expect Lumi to be so easy to talk to this year.
She even offered to make a cake for him.
This made little Draco very happy.
The note was filled with eloquent words, and then he crossed out nearly half of it unbearably.
Finally, Draco handed the note back to Lumi before Snape entered.
"I wrote a few words wrong, don't worry."
Lumi nodded after hearing this.
But I have decided in my heart that not a single cake on this paper is left, all are ready.
After all, when Draco just crossed out the word, his expression was like cutting his flesh.
Facing this proud little snake, Lumi would not be ignorant to expose him to his face.
Finally, Snape opened the door and walked in.
He stood on the podium and looked at Lumi, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raising a slight arc.
"Well, look, who appeared in my classroom."
As expected, he directly attacked Lumi: "It turned out to be the 'hero' who forced a professor away."
"I wonder if Sir Hero came to my class and wanted to drive me away?"
"No, Professor."
"Not raising your hand, disrespecting the professor, five points deducted from Hufflepuff!"
Seeing Lumi shut his mouth, Snape's mood improved a lot.
But when his eyes moved away from Lumi, they fell on Harry.
The corners of the mouth that were originally slightly curved drooped.
As if he saw something objectionable, Snape looked away in disgust.
“Who knows what to do with fresh mandrake?”
"Potter, you answer."
"I don't know, Professor."
"One point from Gryffindor."
"What about you? Gu Lier?"
"I don't know, Professor."
Lumi really didn't know that when he helped Snape handle potion materials, he only came into contact with semi-finished products that had already been processed. He had never used fresh materials once.
"Five points from Hufflepuff."
Snape seemed to be very good at finding opportunities to deduct points.
After deducting twenty points from Lumi, he finally stopped spraying venom on him.
He began to focus entirely on Harry.
He kept deducting points.
Every time, one or two points are deducted, very frequently.
After finally explaining the potion in this lesson, Lumi was relieved and began to prepare the potion with Draco.
Draco was very good at potions, and Lumi's control of materials was almost perfect.
With the cooperation of the two, a potion was handed over to Snape.
"You have chosen a good partner."
There was no ripple in Snape's voice.
As expected, the two received full marks in class.
Finally, the word "get out of class is over" came out of Snape's mouth.
These two words seemed to have some magic power, and they could actually make the whole class breathe a sigh of relief at the same time.
But Lumi can’t slack off yet.
Because tomorrow he would have Snape's Potions class again.
Back to his Hufflepuff.
It was lunch break after Potions class, and Lumi followed Draco and the others back to the auditorium.
"Gu Lier, can we talk?"
Lumi, who was trying to kill the chicken legs in front of him, looked at Hermione sitting in front of him with doubtful eyes.
"of course."
Lumi had no reason to refuse.
Although there was some unpleasantness last year, as long as the three of them don't take the initiative to cause trouble for Lumi this year, Lumi is not willing to keep holding on to them.
And as a handsome dog, Lumi is very tolerant of good-looking people or things.
"It's about the party."
Hermione's face looked a little embarrassed, "Harry has always wanted to taste your cake, but they both can't keep their dignity and are too embarrassed to come over."
"It's okay, you can come."
"I won't still be worried about what happened last year. As long as you don't deliberately sabotage it, then I still welcome you to participate."
Hermione breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She looked at Lumi gratefully, "Thank you, Lumi. I think this news will make them happy."
Lumi's open-mindedness made Hermione feel happy, and because Harry's presence made her feel a little embarrassed, she left after saying a few words.
It can be seen that after she relayed Lumi's words, Harry and Ron's eyes also moved to Lumi.
Their expressions were exactly the same as Hermione's.
There was a bit of embarrassment in the joy.
Lumi didn't take it seriously.
Lumi, who returned to his normal class schedule, finished his classes for this week and began to devote himself to the party.
With the help of the house elves, Lumi decorated the Great Hall and prepared a cake with the elves in the kitchen.
After working from morning to dinner, Lumi had time to take a rest.
There's still half an hour until the party starts.
Lumi looked at the mountains of small cakes in the kitchen, feeling a little nervous but also feeling a great sense of accomplishment.
As six o'clock arrived, Lumi came to the auditorium anxiously.
