Chapter 526: A Head-on Blow to Warrior Granger

"You should make sure you get enough rest, Hermione!"

Harry told his friend this before the Potions class.

Yesterday was just a simple duel training, she shouldn't have made herself so embarrassed.

"Harry is right, Hermione," Ron nodded, "You are now a Gryffindor warrior. Although studying is important, the Triwizard Tournament is more important. You have to manage your time well."

After Hermione became a warrior, the two were not jealous at all. On the contrary, they were even a little secretly happy - not only did their friend become a warrior, but she also became a warrior better than Taylor.

Even though even the Gryffindor students didn't think they were really defeated, it would still be nice to celebrate internally and vent their anger!
But Hermione's current appearance is really...

Harry and Ron looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly - his hair was messy and the dark circles around his eyes showed that he had not slept all night. The most important thing was that he looked the same as last semester. He was always distracted when talking and looked even worse than those seniors in the fifth year who were in OWLs.

"I was so busy looking up information that I forgot the time. Plus, I used a time converter this morning..."

Hermione really didn't know how to face her best friend at this moment - the previous achievements were hers, but the current Triwizard Tournament was not entirely hers.

The celebrations a few days ago were the most lively ones she had encountered since entering Hogwarts, but pressure also came with the celebrations - when you become a warrior representing the college, you can no longer ignore the mission that comes with the honor.

The day before yesterday, Professor McGonagall had a talk with her, suggesting that she could stop using the Time Turner to adjust her condition - the warriors didn't even need to take the exam, let alone something like the Time Turner that would seriously destroy their condition.

"But, there are too many courses..."

There were homework assignments for each course, content to preview and review, duel instructions for Harry and the others, and necessary preparation of materials to prepare for the competition - none of them could be missed. You couldn't just hand over the work to others while carrying the title of a warrior, could you?

She had decided to give up in her heart, but she just couldn't make up her mind. She could only take advantage of this time to reluctantly follow Harry and the others towards the Potions classroom.

Harry and Ron didn't know what to say - they saw how hard Hermione worked, and she never rested for a moment. However, this kind of busyness was still too much for a warrior.

The three of them wandered all the way to the Potions classroom, where Harry took a breath at the door, whispered a warning to Hermione, and then headed towards his usual spot.

It's really not his fault that he couldn't concentrate in Potions class. He had tried very hard to review using Hermione's notes, but with Professor Snape, few people in the entire Hogwarts would be interested in listening to Potions class seriously.

Harry looked around the class and decided to find something interesting to help him get through this damn class - at least to keep him under control and not challenge Snape to a duel.

Looking around, Harry suddenly perked up.

"Ron, Taylor isn't here."

He raised his eyebrows - not everyone dared to skip Snape's class, this was going to be fun.

He knew that Tyler could skip classes this semester. Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had a lot of overlapping classes this semester, but the professors seemed to ignore it, as if Tyler should have that privilege.

But in Potions class, he had only seen Taylor being called out by Professor McGonagall once, and this was the first time he had skipped class on his own initiative.

"Yes, his roommate is here, but he's not here - there's some fun."

Ron laughed happily - he had long wanted to see Taylor and Snape fighting each other, and it would be fun no matter who got bullied.

Apparently, Harry and his friends were not the only ones who wanted to watch the fun. The entire classroom was in a state of being ready to watch, and even the Ravenclaw students were no exception.

There's no way. We've all seen the serious Taylor on weekdays, but we've never seen the unlucky one!

"Don't be late, otherwise it will be boring." Ron said expectantly.

But today, I don’t know what happened, everything is going in the direction I expected.

Until the class started, Snape entered the classroom with a stern face, but Taylor still did not appear.

"Oh hoo, this is going to be fun."

Ron's eyes widened, and he didn't even bother to put the cauldron in place, but secretly stared at Snape out of the corner of his eye.

So, the targeting he wished for came - unfortunately, it was targeted at him.

"Weasley, I don't think an intelligent wizard needs to be told which side of the cauldron to place more than once - three points from Gryffindor."

Snape's harsh voice sounded, and then his cold eyes shifted to Harry again.

"And you, Potter, do you think you can show your wisdom by not telling him where the cauldron should be placed? Three points from Gryffindor."

Harry didn't even protest, he just said nothing - this semester Hermione was going to switch careers to become a warrior, and the house points were already insufficient, and trying to explain the reason to the unreasonable Snape would only lead to more deductions.

"Today is supposed to be a happy day," Snape shook his head when Harry didn't say anything, and whispered, "Although some people don't live up to their reputation, there are always genuine people. Although he is a little stupid sometimes, at least he is still capable."

"That's going to be a really unhappy day."

Harry heard Ron muttering next to him.

'really. ’

Harry agreed in his mind, but he didn't dare speak out loud. Snape was eager for him to speak and then send him to detention somewhere - in that case, the dueling training would be forced to stop.

"So, I am very happy to exempt him from all the following courses, so that he won't waste his talent and time in repeated classes, and will also avoid him being hurt by disasters caused by certain wizards in class. It would be a pity if the crucible exploded again."

Ignoring the usual sarcasm in Snape's words, Harry quickly understood the core point.

No way?
What does this sentence mean?

He looked at Ron and read the same message in Ron's eyes.

Are you kidding me?
"Yes, I won't have to bother to find out who the first place is in the future. The name will be fixed before graduation. Talent is talent, and it is different from being an annoying know-it-all."

Snape looked at Hermione without any hesitation, "All he has to do next is take the OWLs and NEWTs and get full marks."

...

Lock in first?

Harry quickly looked at Hermione. Hermione's condition had been very bad in the past few days, and this news was really...

But he found that Hermione's eyes were unexpectedly firm.
