Chapter 707 Handwriting (The Timing Is Wrong...)

After finishing the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Fish had no other classes today, and Hermione had to rush to the Arithmetic Divination class after a short break, and after lunch, she had to meet Harry again. Leigh and Ron went to the two potions classes in the afternoon.

"I really don't understand why Hermione puts herself through so much trouble..."

(Φ~Φ)

Just as Hermione and the others were running to Potions class, Fish came to Hagrid's hut and said while chewing rock biscuits.

Hagrid responded unhappily. He received the list of this year's N.E.W.T. advanced classes. There were fewer people signing up than he expected, especially since neither Harry nor Ron came, which made Hagrid very depressed.

"This is normal," Fish added inadvertently: "Many people say they prefer Wilmina's class, and they don't like the animals you introduce to everyone..." Maomao tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Actually, Fish feels the same way, nya."

"Why?" Hagrid was shocked.

"Fish doesn't like those Blast-Ended Skrewts, they can't communicate at all," Cat flicked his tail, "Hermione and the others don't like them either, they think those Blast-Ended Skrewts and other animals are too dangerous... although Feishu doesn’t think so, but Feishu has known other animals in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, and they don’t have much interest in meowing.”

"Then why did you choose my class?" Hagrid said angrily.

"Because your class is easy," Maomao replied matter-of-factly: "And this class is one of the few outdoor classes. Fish likes to play outside!"

Then Hagrid became even more depressed.

After successfully chewing up a rock cake and destroying Hagrid's mentality, Fish patted his butt and ran to the Forbidden Forest to play with Lu Wei and the others, taking Yaya away with him. Hagrid was left alone in the room doubting life.

Fish played in the Forbidden Forest until dinner time, then strolled back to the castle.

"Hermione, what's wrong with you?"

ω

As soon as they arrived in the auditorium, Maomao noticed that Hermione's mood was a little bit off, and she didn't seem very happy.

"Because our Miss Know-It-All lost to Harry in Potions class today." Ron said with schadenfreude, and then received a fierce glare from Hermione.

"Actually, it's like this..." Harry looked around and quietly explained to Fish and the others: "The "Advanced Potion Making" given to me by Professor Slughorn contains the contents of the previous book. There are many operations in the owner’s notes that are different from those in the book. I tried it and it worked great!”

Hermione's face became even more gloomy after listening to his narration. She felt that Harry was simply invincible!

"You probably thought I cheated, right?" Harry was annoyed by the expression on her face and asked her after she finished speaking.

"...No!" Hermione originally wanted to accuse Harry, but after looking at the cat beside her who had lost interest and picked up a knife and fork to start eating dinner, she changed her tune.

And after she calmed down, her expression was no longer so ugly.

"You reminded me before, didn't you? Stir counterclockwise seven times and then stir once clockwise..." Hermione sighed softly and said, "I chose to believe the textbook."

"He took a risk, so he was compensated." Ron also said on the side, and sighed regretfully, "Slughorn might have handed me the book, but, alas, no one was there for me. There was writing on that textbook. Judging from the situation on page 52, it seems that someone vomited on it, but..."

"Wait." Ginny's voice came from the left and she joined in their conversation. "Did I hear you correctly, Harry? You've been following instructions written in a book?"

She looked panicked and angry. Harry immediately guessed what was going on in her head.

"It's nothing," he lowered his voice to reassure her: "You know, it's not like Riddle's diary. It's just an old textbook that has been scribbled on."

"But you did what it said?"

"I just tried a few tips written in the margins of the book. To be honest, Ginny, there's nothing weird about it."

But Ginny obviously didn't think so. When she was controlled by Voldemort's diary, although there were no terrible consequences, it was because Fish subdued the basilisk. If there hadn't been Fish, or if Voldemort hadn't been so quick to trouble the cats, maybe it wasn't just Mrs. Norris who was petrified or even killed by the basilisk, but other students and professors.

And Hermione also suggested vigilantly: "What Ginny said makes sense, we should check it to see if there is anything wrong with it. This way we can feel more at ease when preparing potions based on the notes above."

"us?"

"Is there any problem?" Hermione said matter-of-factly: "Since the content in this note is better, why don't we study it? I even think that after confirming that the above content is okay, we can share it To other members of the Cat Club.”

Hermione, who had put aside her pride and prejudice, naturally would not refuse a better learning method.

"Okay..." Harry was persuaded by Hermione and took out the worn-out "Advanced Potion Making" from his bag.

Hermione raised her wand, tapped the cover neatly, and said: "The true form is revealed!"

Nothing happened. The textbook was still a textbook, worn, dirty, and the corners of the book were curled up.

However, Hermione was still worried. She flipped the pages and found a line of small, dense handwriting at the bottom of the back cover:

This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince.

"Half-Blood Prince?" After carefully identifying the content of the line, she guessed: "It seems that the original owner of this book should be a half-blood wizard."

"And most likely a handsome wizard," Harry said: "No girl should call herself a prince... In addition, there should be no problem with this book, right?"

"Wait a little longer, just to be safe, let's confirm it again." Hermione said, and handed the book in her hand to the cat who was eating at the table next to her, "Fish, come and help me see if there is any problem with this book."

"Okay meow!"

Ψ(~)卩

Fish raised his head from the plate, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and took the worn "Advanced Potion Making".

Although the cat was concentrating on eating, the cat ears on his head were always erect, paying attention to the chat content over there.

After taking the book, Fich first put the book under his nose and sniffed it...

The smell on the book was very mixed, with the smell of various people and medicinal materials mixed together, and a little musty smell, which made the cat sneeze.

The beast instinct did not detect any danger, so there should be no problem.

However, considering that Riddle's diary did not trigger his beast instinct at the beginning, Fich still opened the book cautiously.

Then...

"Isn't this Severus' handwriting?"

(ω)

The cat continued to flip through it a few times and confirmed: "No mistake! This dense handwriting like ants is definitely written by Severus, meow!"

Harry: !!!

There is a BUG in the humanities version of HP. After lunch, Harry and his friends went to the potion class, and had lunch again after the potion class.

I checked the English version specifically, and it said dinner, which should be a translation error.

However, my set should be the first edition, and it was reprinted several times after Humanities. The latest edition seems to be published in 2021. It is said that some modifications have been made in it. I don’t know if the later versions have corrected this error.

At that time, I bought HP one by one... and I bought pirated copies by mistake...

"HP and the Big Funnel" is basically a replica of the Chamber of Secrets, but the background has been changed to Harry graduating and going to a new school to teach. The so-called big funnel is the Chamber of Secrets. In short, various characters and nouns are replaced, and the plot is basically the plot of the Chamber of Secrets.

"HP and the Water-Repellent Beads", Hermione was captured by the dragon, and Harry went to rescue her. After the rescue, the two did some unspeakable things, and they did it on a flying broom... This caused a great shock to me who was still young at the time.

By the way, there is also a plot where Gandalf peeks at Hermione taking a bath...

After that, I learned my lesson and checked the name before buying it. As a result, the pirates also changed their tactics...

So I bought another pirated copy of "HP and the Half-Blood Prince", which tells the story of Harry going to a new school and meeting a "Half-Blood Prince" named Prince, and Harry uses an axe instead of a wand...

There are other pirated versions, I have seen them, but I didn't buy them.

What makes me vomit blood the most is that after all seven genuine books are released, there is a discount for buying the whole set...
