Chapter 225 223 School starts

I don’t know when Feeney will think of this, or in other words, when Feeney will be able to calm down.

At this time, he was very irritable. He kept pacing back and forth in the cave, scratching his hair from time to time, and kicking the ice pick residue on the ground or in the corners that had not been completely cleaned up.

What should the liquid in the golden cup be? This question kept lingering in Feeney's mind, making him even more at a loss as he was already irritable.

Time passed slowly, and Puff beside him could no longer watch Feeney venting like this, so he came to him and said,

"Master, why don't Puff take you back to have a rest?"

You know, as house elves, they cannot provide their own advice to their masters, the wizards. All they have to do is obey, obey, and obey.

Therefore, it was a very risky move for Puff to make this suggestion at this time. It not only violated the iron rules of house elves, but also had a high possibility of angering Finny, who was very emotionally unstable.

Fortunately, even though Feini was emotionally unstable at this time, he did not lose his mind. He knew that Puff's proposal was the most correct choice at this time, so he nodded and agreed to Puff's suggestion.

After spending a peaceful night in the Room of Requirement, Feeney realized that it was already January 6th, which meant that classes at Hogwarts would officially begin the next day.

The little wizards who went home today started to go back to school.

The conversations between the little wizard and his companions after returning to school were roughly similar.

"Have you finished your holiday homework?"

"What did you get for Christmas this year?"

"Where did you go for Christmas?"

Of course, Feeney and the others who stayed in school also had holiday homework, but Feeney had forgotten about it.

"Have you finished all your holiday homework?"

Well, Feeney had to ask the same question as the twins and Jordan.

"One more thing, I can go to the library to check some information later and it will be done."

Jordan distributed the food he brought from home to the twins and Feeney, and at the same time answered,

They were currently in the room in the Room of Requirement, which was where they stayed most often when there were no classes. Especially after Finny moved out of the Slytherin common room, the twins and Jordan were more willing to come. Find him here, read magazines together, joke around, play with props, or play chess, gossip, and do research.

Compared with Jordan, the twins were less attentive to their homework. They answered Feeney's question in unison,

"We don't have any problems here anymore. We've finished writing."

Jordan was naturally very familiar with the personalities of the twins and exposed their tricks mercilessly.

"Is it copying from each other?"

The twins still said in unison,

"No, this is called borrowing,"

Feeney shook his head speechlessly,

Jordan looked at Feeney doubtfully and asked,

"Finney, you don't usually ask about our homework. Why do you think of asking this today?"

Feeney smiled bitterly and said,

"I got caught up in some things during the vacation and forgot about my homework."

The twins and Jordan were stunned when they heard this, looked at Feeney blankly, and asked in disbelief,

"Finney, you mean you didn't do your holiday homework?"

George asked in shock,

Fred was even more startled and screamed,

"You really didn't do your homework?"

Feeney had no choice but to nod in admission.

Jordan sighed and said in disbelief,

"Who would have thought that the top student in our class didn't do any Christmas homework. So, you ask us because you want to copy our homework?"

Feeney shook his head and said in unison with the twins,

"No, this is called borrowing!"

However, laughter once again filled the entire small room in the Room of Requirement,

And Feeney also got the three people's homework, some of which were time-consuming and not unique, so Feeney directly copied the three people's homework, no, he borrowed from the three people's homework.

Feeney wrote some papers on the understanding or application of magic spells himself. After all, at his current level, it is still very easy for him to write a third-grade paper.

As a result, the day after handing in the homework, Professor McGonagall found Finny.

"Mr. Black, I have to remind you that even if your grades are very good, you still have to do your own homework, instead of directly copying the homework of Mr. Weasley and Mr. Jordan, even if you make a few changes. ”

After saying that, Professor McGonagall handed back his homework. Apparently, Professor McGonagall discovered the flaw in Finny's homework and directly thought of the source of Finny's homework.

Feeney took the homework and nodded and said,

"Professor, didn't I delay some things during the vacation? Besides, you know my current level, these homeworks really won't help me."

Professor McGonagall sighed. She also knew that the homework they left before the holiday was completely dispensable to Finny. She couldn't help but feel a little frustrated and said,

"Okay, forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I will punish you in solitary confinement."

After saying that, she turned and left,

Watching Professor McGonagall leave, the twins excitedly high-fived each other and celebrated warmly.

"Great, she didn't find the problem with our homework,"

Feeney and Jordan looked at each other and shook their heads together. Not to mention Professor McGonagall, they could all see the problems in the twins' homework. It was just because Feeney, who had very good grades, did not do the homework and copied it exactly as it was. Copying made her very angry, and she just ignored the twins.

So speaking of it, the twins also wanted to thank Finny for attracting Professor McGonagall's attention.

"Actually, Professor McGonagall must have seen through your tricks a long time ago. It's just that I was there to support you, so I let you go. Believe me, Professor Snape won't let you go so easily in the future." ”

As a Slytherin student, Finny was still the first in age, so Snape naturally gave him a lot of privileges, one of which was that he didn't need to do homework in Potions class.

Therefore, Finny had no way to attract attention in front of the twins and divert their hatred.

His words soon became reality. Finny had no way to excuse the twins in front of Snape.

"Take it back and redo it!"

He stared at the twins with a pair of cold eyes and said sternly,

Looking at the twins who looked depressed because they had to rewrite their homework because they failed, as if they had lost all vitality, Jordan laughed unkindly, patted Fred on the shoulder with great pleasure and said,

"Okay, you know, that's Snape. Not locking you up is the best punishment for you. Speaking of which, you are really lucky."

George suddenly said,

"I think Snape can see through our minds, and Dumbledore gave me a similar feeling."

Feeney said as a reminder,

"It's Legilimency. I remind you, never look at Snape. His eyes can easily see through you. He is a master of Occlumency. And Occlumency masters are often also Legilimency." "Master Nian."

The three of them looked at each other, obviously shocked by what Feeney said, but they did not feel any surprise. Feeney knew many secrets in the magic world. This was the same understanding among the three of them.

The homework matters are over, but the twins' difficult days have just begun. After Christmas, the training of the Gryffindor Quidditch team became even more arduous.

It seems that because of the addition of Harry this year, Wood's desire to win the Academy Cup has become stronger, and the requirements for his players are more stringent than ever before, even in the continuous rainy weather after heavy snow.

"He's just a lunatic,"

"A training freak,"

"We can't stand him anymore."

The twins would complain to Feeney and Jordan in the Room of Requirement every night when they could take a break from training.

In fact, it is not incomprehensible for Wood to be so crazy, because as long as they get a life separation in the next game against Hufflepuff, they can defeat the Slytherin team with the same score as them in the Academy Cup Championship.

After all, this is the first time in seven years that the distance to the championship is so short, almost within reach. How could Wood not pay attention to it and not be crazy.

You know, the last time Gryffindor won was seven years ago, and even the year before last when Charlie was still on the team, they couldn't win the championship.

"We will lose the game this way! Snape will definitely find every excuse to deduct points from the Gryffindor team."

The twins complained to Finny,

They had just received the news not long ago that the referee for this game between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff would be Snape.

This is definitely devastating news for the twins.

And Feeney was confused,

"Snape as referee?"

The twins nodded,

"What Wood told us is absolutely correct. I guess Snape must be the referee because we might beat your college team. He will never make a fair decision!"

Feeney shook his head and said,

"Snape targets Gryffindor many times. However, this time he may not be the referee because he wants to target Gryffindor. If you think carefully, the first game of the Gryffindor team's game before this semester Ms. Hooch was the referee. Later, Harry was cursed and almost had problems. Then as long as it was a Gryffindor game, the referees were always the school's professors, Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, and Sprout. Professors have all been referees.”

George confirmed to Feeney uncertainly,

"You mean, Snape became the referee to protect Harry?"

Feeney nodded,

"This may be very big. I remember I once told you about the relationship between Snape and Harry's mother Lily. He may resent Harry because of James Potter, but because of Lily For the sake of senior, he will definitely protect Harry and prevent his life from being in danger. Of course, if possible, it is okay to let Harry suffer some losses. "

In fact, the twins just felt awkward and complained about Snape being the referee, and they were a little unhappy.

On the opposite side of them was Harry. After he learned the news, he lost his fighting spirit and even became much more decadent. Ron and Neville even gave him some bad ideas to escape the competition, but unfortunately, He was the only Seeker in Gryffindor, so there was no way he could withdraw from the game.

When Harry came back from Christmas vacation, his personality changed a lot. Almost all the little wizards noticed this.

He no longer has the same low self-esteem as he did before the holidays. Yes, although Harry often behaves heartlessly, when facing many young wizards from the wizarding family, he feels a little unsatisfied from the bottom of his heart. Confidence is like putting others first,

However, after returning from this Christmas vacation, Harry behaved more like the sole heir of the Potter family. His aura of wizard, or simply put, his mysterious style became more obvious. This cannot be decorated and acted out. It is a change that occurs from the inside out due to the richness of the foundation.

The reason why Harry changed like this is because of Sirius' teachings to him during the holidays, teaching him common sense in the wizarding world, teaching daily magic, and finding Harry's most talented black magic. Defense classes and training in combat magic made Harry much better than his peers.

Time gradually passed, and the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff was slowly approaching.

Of course, Feeney had no intention of watching this game. He planned to use this time to think about the liquid that should be placed in the gold cup.

However, until the day of the competition, Feeney had not thought about what this liquid was. Just when he was about to give up, he finally remembered that he was still a prophet who had opened his vision.

Finding a crystal ball that could be used for predictions among his pile of magic items, Feeney began to ask about the liquid in the golden cup.

Unlike other prediction methods, if the crystal ball prediction is successful, the smoke in the crystal ball will disperse to form the predicted picture, and it will be visible to everyone.

After casting a certain amount of magic, you can even fix this prophecy in this crystal ball. Otherwise, this prophecy will slowly dissipate and turn into white smoke again.

Feeney held the crystal ball in both hands and recited his question silently in his heart.

He only felt a tremor in his mind, and then saw the smoke in the crystal ball slowly dissipating, revealing the pattern inside, which was the correct answer to the question asked by Feeney.

The truth about the liquid that should be contained in Hufflepuff's golden cup.
