John didn't go to watch, he was in the principal's office.
He put a teaspoon of dried blackroot powder into the crucible and stirred it. The fishy smell filled the room.
"Blackroot has a protective effect against black magic when consumed."
Slughorn put his hands on both sides of the belly of the big belly, and the buttons on his waistcoat were about to fly out due to the big belly.
He praised: "It's a wise choice, but we have no way of knowing whether the blood curse can also be resisted."
"This is not a potion against the Bloodborne Curse," John shook his head and said, "This is to prevent other magical effects from being caused when clearing the Bloodborne Curse."
"Your vigilance is admirable," said Slughorn.
"Maybe we could add some rose thorns."
Slughorn, as the Potions Master, offered his opinion.
This is why John sought out Slughorn for research.
On the one hand, he can establish a friendship with Slughorn, and on the other hand, he can complete research with the help of the bright brain who has taught at Hogwarts for decades.
As the headmaster, Slughorn had no complaints about being invited to do experiments on Saturday.
Because John sent him a new luxury ice cream set, the pineapple flavored ice cream in it was very popular with him.
Slughorn had a good relationship with the former Principal Black, and the two Slytherin principals could often be seen chatting and laughing. Often at this time, the other principals would snort from their noses.
John saw a complete set of Lockhart series on Slughorn's bookshelf.
"While he was at school, this Ravenclaw child always had some outrageous ideas to attract people's attention," Slughorn said. "But after he went out, he seemed to have become a brave wizard."
Slughorn said regretfully, "I failed to discover his potential ability at the time."
Well, because he doesn't have the ability.
John's face was expressionless, and Lockhart played so well that Slughorn once felt that he was seeing people wrongly.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with the Lockhart he knew.
After all, even John couldn't figure out how Lockhart ended up at Hogwarts.
In addition to the Oblivion Charm, Lockhart's two simple lock-picking charms may cause problems.
Slughorn's vicious and cunning eyes were as accurate as a scanner.
Today's experiment is over and John is ready to leave.
Slughorn wanted to invite John to the Slug Club dinner, but John declined because he had to sift through the rest of the material.
He left the principal's office.
Instead of going to the Society of Stars, John went to the Quidditch pitch.
Before entering, John heard the commotion coming from inside.
Ten broomsticks fly around the court, and the fastest one will advance to the next round.
Among the ten people, one with golden hair stands out.
Wearing windproof glasses on her face, the girl controls the Unified Nimbus 1000 broomstick used for Slytherin testing.
When making a turn ahead, the girl will lower her body and lower her center of gravity, creating a smooth arc as if drawn by a compass.
Some of the candidates at the back couldn't control their speed and bumped into the audience, and some used too much force and bumped into the people behind them.
The girl wins.
John couldn't help but applaud, and thunderous applause erupted from the field.
The girl took off her windproof glasses and sat on the Nimbus 1000, raising her right hand high.
His heroic appearance made a Slytherin boy shout: "Tai cool!"
Her blond hair is tied up in a ponytail, and her beautiful face that gradually grows out is mesmerizing.
Daphne waved excitedly, "Astoria!"
Astoria entered the final selection, and Malfoy was restrained by Goyle and Crab.
"Draco, don't be impulsive."
"What did that kid say about Tai Ku La? How dare he say this to A Tuo at any level?"
The two big men barely managed to hold Malfoy back, preventing the prefect from beating up the junior class.
Continue with the selection.
Astoria's performance was amazing.
Her appearance is not an aggressive one like her elder sister, but a soft and cute face.
But this girl flies faster than everyone else and throws eighteen balls while moving at high speed.
John sat next to Daphne and said unexpectedly: "I didn't know Astoria had such good flying skills."
"She is very talented in this area and is the fastest skier in Finland."
Sister Daphne was so proud that she even subconsciously ignored why Astoria came to select the team members.
Her smile lasted until Astoria managed to become Slytherin Chaser.
"That's great, Atto!"
Malfoy couldn't hold it back and shouted encouragement when he saw Astoria becoming a team member.
Astoria saw this and ran over and hugged Malfoy.
At that moment, John's left hand stretched out almost subconsciously.
"Calm down, calm down."
John held down Daphne's hand that took out the wand, and said with cold sweat: "Even if he is Draco, he can't withstand the curse."
"That damn skunk boy!" Daphne struggled, "I want to hang him in the astronomy tower..."
After struggling for a few seconds, Daphne realized something was wrong.
She seemed to be dead, her head slowly lowered.
Seeing the hand holding her tightly, Daphne's anger disappeared quickly like a marshmallow soaked in water.
Instead, there was a different kind of emotion.
John noticed that Daphne was gradually calming down and beginning to feel relieved.
To prevent Daphne from acting impulsively again, John held her hand along with her wand.
There was no objection from Daphne, who didn't even pay attention to what her sister was doing.
Slytherin's selection lasted two hours.
Astoria becomes a Chaser, and that's something to celebrate.
There is no shortage of batsmen, with Gall and Crabbe performing well last year and successfully defending their regular player status.
The Chasers underwent a major overhaul and several substitutes were recruited.
After the selection, Malfoy announced his disbandment.
The advantages of Slytherin over other houses are shown in that they are much more disciplined than chaotic.
Line up to walk off the Quidditch pitch.
John looked at the new team members who were unfamiliar with the world. They didn't know what they were about to experience.
Today was the selection, and Malfoy didn't start training.
Wait until next week, this group of people will face the ruthless destruction from Malfoy.
Compared with other houses, Slytherin has always had a simple advantage.
That means they have money.
This wealth not only refers to the student's background, but also the sponsorship of the team.
When students in other colleges brought their own broomsticks, Malfoy took the team members to the lounge first.
There are six Nimbus 2001 neatly placed inside.
The flying broomstick left over from the previous generation, even though several years have passed since the first batch of Nimbus 2001 was shipped from the factory, there is still no other broomstick to replace its position second only to the Firebolt.
Unless other houses buy Firebolts in bulk, Slytherin's equipment is definitely the best.
After leading the team to get familiar with each other, Malfoy officially dismissed the team.
Just like the calm before the storm, Malfoy allowed these team members to spend the last relaxing vacation of this semester.
...
Gryffindor common room.
Harry kept comforting Ron because of what happened.
At the back, even Hermione joined the comfort team.
In fact, Ron's skills are good, but he lacks confidence.
It was this that led to Ron being defeated by McLagan due to stage fright in the second game. 33
Even though Ron pretended not to care, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Harry even wanted to reopen the arena for him to comfort this good brother.
But after all, you can't do this, as it would be unfair to other players.
"It's McLaggen." Ron was annoyed.
He didn't have such regrets when he lost to others, but that McLaggen was so annoying.
Ron felt that McLaggen should go to Slytherin, which would be the best match.
Harry didn't like that guy either because he was acting more like a captain than he was.
Hermione had no choice but to offer to go find Hagrid.
Ron said a little irritably: "Come on, Hagrid probably doesn't want to see us at all."
"Let's go over, Hagrid must miss us." Harry also felt that he would take this opportunity to relax Ron.
Both of them agreed, and Ron was forced to agree.
They headed towards Hagrid's hut.
Outside the cabin, they saw Buckbeak, the hippogriff who was supposed to be executed.
As Sirius left for Hogwarts, Buckbeak returned to be raised by Hagrid.
Harry knew how to deal with it. He leaned forward, looked Buckbeak in the eyes, and bowed deeply.
Buckbeak looked at him for a moment, then bowed and allowed Harry to come closer.
Just as Harry stepped forward to stroke Buckbeak's fur, they saw Hagrid coming from behind the hut.
But Hagrid, who was quite happy at first, suddenly fell down.
...
Some people died, but not completely...
