Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 591 You Shut Up
Time flies and it’s already October.

Everything at Hogwarts was as fun as usual.

At least that's what Ryan thought.

He was not troubled by the sudden increase in academic pressure in the third grade.

These things are still a piece of cake for him in his mortal state of mind.

Now there are mainly a few things that are particularly interesting to Ryan.

First, the time for the individual competition was recorded on the old notice board next to the fireplace in the lounge - afternoon of November 11th.

That was Wednesday afternoon.

This means that classes will stop after noon.

In the afternoon, all you have to do is watch the performances of the selected warriors.

This also means that the Warriors' selection is about to take place.

I don't know if it is still the Goblet of Fire from the original world line.

And until now, there has been no mention of what rewards will be offered for individual victories.

Could it be that the 1000 Galleons were swallowed directly?
As a win for school funding?
And the first event of the group competition, War Magic, will be held this month.

The specific time has not yet been determined.

But in terms of learning progress, students from the four colleges have almost mastered their corresponding spells.

They can also resonate with the magic of students of adjacent spells.

Ryan was very curious about the effects of these three magics that had not yet been put into practical use.

In order to keep things fresh, Ryan even set up corresponding restricted areas in the Mind Palace.

Avoid understanding everything after just one 'think'.

The second is Harry.

His 'role' has really interested Ryan recently.

Because of Ryan's influence.

Harry had private lessons from Dumbledore in his third year.

And the content also contains more valuable information.

Rather than an immersive movie like the one in the world line called "The Past and Present of Voldemort".

In the last 4 private lessons.

Harry learned the universal hand gestures for casting protective spells, the unique combat methods against magical creatures (which Voldemort used on unicorns in his first year), and watched immersive films called "The Decline of the House of Gaunt" and "The Love Story of Voldemort's Parents".

The first two were things that Dumbledore brought into the coffin in the original world line.

Harry hadn't touched it at all.

In addition to these key 'scenes'.

Harry's daily life is also very interesting.

After each divination class.

Just like in the original world line, whenever the students around him spoke to Harry, their voices became soft, as if he was already lying on the bed.

But there is one thing that is a pity about Ryan.

Perhaps considering Lavender's mood, Trelawney did not say to Lavender, her favorite student, "The thing you are afraid of will happen on October 16th."

Now, even if Lavender's rabbit was bitten to death by the fox on October 16th as in the original world line, Trelawney's ability could not be demonstrated.

Therefore, the attention, which was considered a hardship for Harry, was expected to weaken after the warriors were selected.

The third is to eat hot pot.

Ryan has been eating hotpot in various classes as if no one is around.

Recently, he even dragged Hermione into the hot pot party.

However, for Ryan, the best time to eat hot pot is undoubtedly Potions class.

A cauldron is great for cooking hot pot.

And only the Potions classroom has a stone sink in the corner.

This allows Ryan to experience the joy of washing dishes and pots.

In Smith Castle, if Ryan dared to wash the dishes, Jack would be so scared that he would bang his head against the wall.

Moreover, eating hot pot in front of Snape, the professor who frightened almost all students, and eating hot pot in a crucible was very fulfilling.

If Ryan's system had the same achievement function as in other fan fictions, the achievement reward would at least be a magic stone.

And now, Ryan is using the crucible to boil the bottom of the pot.

Today's hotpot has been made less spicy and more spicy for Hermione's sake.

Its color is also clear, rather than the thick and turbid color of ordinary hot pot.

The students around were playing and fighting.

Dudley was holding Ernie down with one hand, and was talking to him about something.

Hannah and Susan chattered, and from time to time they glanced at Neville, who was holding his head high and looking like a thinker.

Ron boasted to Harry about the recent sales of his smoke bottles.

Little did he know that Fred and George had already known about Ron's betrayal and were lying in ambush at the place where Ron had to pass through the lounge.

However, in an instant, the classroom became quiet.

It was as if the pause button was suddenly pressed.

Then, the noise suddenly resumed.

"Here we go again," Hermione muttered, "It's happening again.

Could it be that the charming fly that Luna described really exists?

Even though I can't see or hear it.

But when it flaps its wings and flies, it makes a sound that can only be heard subconsciously, which can make the people in the room stop thinking for a moment and then resume thinking?

Otherwise, why would everyone suddenly stop talking when nothing happened? "

Ryan smiled and added another piece of ginger to the boiling cauldron. "Before the Potions class starts and Snape comes, if you promise not to tell Luna, I can tell you the answer."

Hermione raised an eyebrow and pouted, "You said so."

"This is the group's sensitive psychology to the environment + the coincidence of some individuals' unconscious pauses + the group's conformity." Ryan said with a smile.

"Speak human language." Hermione frowned.

“To put it bluntly, it’s synchronicity.

This is an instinct inherited from genes.

Because there was some overlap in the frequencies of everyone's speaking just now, but everyone happened to be very quiet during the period of time when they stopped.

Our instinct tells us that this is a sign of a predator approaching.

Then naturally no one dared to speak.

Because no one wants to be a target of predators.

This is the same principle as when the chirping birds in the forest suddenly fall silent." Ryan shrugged and said.

"But this is a classroom, where did the predators come from?" Hermione asked in confusion.

"Wait a minute, um, one, two, three!" Ryan's voice fell.

Hermione was surprised to find that the classroom had returned to silence.

She followed Ryan's gaze and saw Professor Snape.

He walked into the classroom with his usual deadpan expression.

The gaze that was so cold that it was almost freezing would only warm up and stay when it saw Harry and Dudley.

"You get it. He is the predator." Ryan looked at Hermione who had a look of sudden enlightenment on her face.

Then he slightly flared his nose and said, "Well, the base of the pot is ready, now add the duck blood and ham!"

On the stage, Snape looked indifferent.

He pulled the curtain on the side and started playing the PPT.

Then he said, "I heard your noise from several rooms away."

The students in the audience couldn't help but shrink their necks.

“That’s the feeling.

You look serious but you can't do anything to me." Ryan took a sip of Coke excitedly.

"But Professor Snape can't see you, right?" Hermione prompted, poking Ryan's elbow.

"Shut up, please!"
