Chapter 174
The truth is, the truth is.
"That's the situation."
Argus repeated to Slughorn what he had told Dumbledore.
Slughorn shook his head!
"Albus always thinks he can control everything."
"Unfortunately, many things don't go according to your plan."
"If he hadn't been so arrogant, Harry and Ron wouldn't have been attacked by Lockhart."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Slughorn likes people who dwell on the past.
He was also afraid that if he continued to talk, Argus would be nervous, so he immediately changed the subject.
"Have you read the notes I gave you? Is there anything you don't understand?"
"Thank you for your concern. Your notes are very detailed. There is nothing I don't understand for the time being."
As for Slughorn's notes, Argus only took a quick look.
Compared with Snape's innovation, Slughorn's potion notes are more about experience.
It allows people to quickly pass through the process of accumulating experience and grow into a mature potion master.
In the hands of others, it may be like finding a treasure.
But Argus never thought of investing too much energy in potion science.
He studied potion science more to analyze the nature of magical animal materials and potion materials through potion science, so as to improve his understanding of spells.
For example, through the instinct of Thunderbird to summon thunderstorms and control the weather, the nature of spells such as meteorological spells can be reversed.
Through the invisible beast, the disillusionment spell can be reversed.
The magical animal course and the herbal course are about classification and breeding, which are far less detailed than the analysis of potion science.
Slughorn didn't know this, and only thought that Argus treated his notes as seriously as Dumbledore did.
He smiled immediately.
"With your talent, the notes I gave you can only be used as a help."
"Wait until you have thoroughly understood this one, and I will give you the next one."
"Thank you for your generosity, Professor Slughorn."
"Hahaha... Don't be so polite, come and try the Anglo-German black tea sent by my former students."
...
A week later.
Hogwarts returned to peace.
During this period, Alan Mitchell came twice with great fanfare, all to assist Dumbledore in the investigation.
As a result, both times he returned empty-handed.
British wizards have quarreled over this matter.
Many people think that Dumbledore, as the headmaster of Hogwarts, is seriously derelict of duty for not staying in school and running around all day for two students!
Why didn't he see him so active when several students were petrified?
Is the life of the savior more valuable than that of an ordinary wizard!
Some even think that Dumbledore is guilty!
He disappeared from Hogwarts just to avoid the investigation of the Ministry of Magic!
The main hall of Hogwarts Castle.
The prefects of the four colleges are surrounding Argus and asking him questions.
"Argus, is it the fifth grade's turn tonight?"
"Argus, can you talk to Professor Slughorn about having more classes before curfew? We can communicate with the dean and just go back at curfew every night!"
"Yes, there is also Friday weekend, so we can also take time out to attend classes!"
After a week of study, the fifth and seventh grade students who participated in the club activities clearly noticed the improvement of their grades.
Perhaps they still don't understand the meaning of these questions, but the cramming teaching of the exam-oriented education makes them subconsciously generate answers as soon as they see the test papers.
While other students are still struggling to answer this question, the students who have participated in the "evening self-study" have already come up with countless solutions.
Comparing the two, the difference is obvious!
For top students, this kind of education is really useless and may even limit their development.
But most students are still ordinary people. When they are likely to fail the exam, this method is simply a life-saving straw!
Argus raised his hand and signaled them to pause.
"Everyone, I know you are anxious."
"But you also have to consider Professor Slughorn's situation. He has been retired for many years and has to take extra classes every day."
"Plus the club before curfew."
"If you continue to take extra classes, you will have no problem, but Professor Slughorn's body will not be able to bear it."
Several prefects smiled awkwardly.
Argus thought for a while: "How about this, if the fifth and seventh grade students really want more time to review, you can discuss with the professor and apply for an extra auditorium."
"I'm for
They prepared the test papers, let them review freely, and explain together when it was their turn. "
"Okay! Let's do it!"
Several prefects knew that this was a concession made by Argus to protect their face in front of the students of their own college.
Besides being grateful, their eyes showed gratitude.
Just as they were still discussing how to make specific arrangements in the future, a large group of owls flew from the ceiling.
Throwing rolls of newspapers and gift boxes onto the long table.
Before Argus and others continued to speak, exclamations came from all the long tables.
"Someone escaped from Azkaban!"
"What! Is it true! Aren't there Dementors guarding there? How could someone escape from prison!"
"It's true. The one who escaped was Sirius Black, the murderer who was arrested twelve years ago! He escaped from prison!"
"The newspaper said that he was a member of the Death Eaters and had killed a whole street of Muggles! "
"Merlin's gradient stockings! Why didn't the murderer let the Dementors give him a kiss! He won't take revenge on the wizarding world after escaping, right?"
"The Daily Prophet said that before he escaped, he had frantically shouted Harry's name, maybe to kill Harry and avenge... that person! "
Sirius escaped from prison?
Argus raised his eyebrows.
According to the original book, Sirius should have escaped from prison during the summer vacation after seeing the photo of the Weasley family traveling to Egypt and recognizing Peter Pettigrew.
How come it was so early!
Still shouting Harry's name frantically in prison?
Could it be that he knew that Harry had become an idiot?
If so... there would be a lot of room for him to operate!
Argus briefly exchanged a few words with the prefects of the four major colleges, and then hurriedly picked up the Daily Prophet to check.
At first glance, he saw the animated picture of Sirius screaming when he was arrested.
After reading the report carefully, his brows slowly relaxed.
"It seems that he did choose to escape from prison after knowing that Harry was in trouble."
"It's just that I don't know if he knows that Peter Pettigrew is still alive now."
"It's time to get Ron's mouse!"
