I, Hogwarts Second Time Around.

Chapter 22 Footsteps in the Corridor

As is well known, time flows differently in Potions classrooms than elsewhere. In fact, time passes differently in every classroom at Hogwarts; some, like History of Magic, pass faster.

Some things progress slowly, such as the transformation course.

Among these courses, the one that stands out is the famous Potions class.

Here, saying that each day feels like an eternity is an understatement.

At least one second is a century!

For most young wizards, attending a potions class is more arduous than going to a grave.

If you observe carefully, you will gain a unique skill: you can tell what kind of class a little wizard is going to by the way of their gait in the corridor!

With light steps and an ethereal, almost otherworldly air, they must be on their way to a flight lesson.

The slow, unhurried pace suggests they're heading to a spell or transfiguration class.

Emerging from the classroom, his steps unsteady and yawning, he had just finished studying the history of magic.

He walked unsteadily, yawning, towards the professor's office; he was on his way to an astronomy class. (Because stargazing is always done late at night.)

Shoes covered in dirt, body reeking of a strange odor—this person had just come out of the greenhouse. (Herbalism)

Covered in dirt and disheveled, this person probably just finished a class on the protection of magical creatures.

As for potion-making—it's the most unique of them all, with an extremely tragic pace, reminiscent of the desolation of "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return."

After all, our prince gets shot every day.

If someone doesn't like you that day, anyone could be within their line of fire.

Even though Owen sacrificed himself to draw most of the fire in this class, even Harry, who was never favored by Snape, received a bit of 'protection'.

But this still couldn't stop Professor Snape's even more surging and powerful rhetoric!

Points will be deducted because you can breathe.

The entire class was filled with his distinctive drawn-out tone and barrage of sarcastic remarks!

Sometimes, Owen even had to admire Professor Snape's exceptionally large vocabulary and incredibly powerful memory.

Not everyone can deliver a whole section of insults without repeating themselves.

What's even more terrifying is that Snape not only remembered the names of all the young wizards, but he also knew their parents' names, identities, jobs, and family histories perfectly well.

This means that whenever he opens his mouth, it's not just you he's greeting.

Your parents and immediate family members, as well as important figures in your family, will also become part of his vast vocabulary.

To make matters worse, today's trains are Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.

Wuhu!

Professor Si took off immediately!

Near the end of get out of class, Snape had made at least five or six young wizards cry.

Hermione's face turned ashen from the mockery, and her clenched teeth remained clenched throughout the entire class.

However, the steel girl never sheds a tear!

But inexplicably, Irving received a strange look from her.

Irving immediately scanned the code to pay and then handed over the receipt with a look.

Ding-dong~

Your personal account has received a remittance of two Galleons!

Tsk tsk!

Look, another deal has been made!

Professor Snape was his lucky star!

With him around, Irving believes his career will soon grow bigger and stronger.

He's even started considering promotional activities, like: getting a free lesson for referring a new user; or getting a spin on the lucky draw for every ten lessons purchased. Whoever wins, he'll teach them everything they need.

Yes, we also need to consider lower-tier users. By using a point-line-surface approach, we strengthened user awareness, ensured user retention, and simultaneously obtained user profiles. We combined various promotional methods to create a comprehensive strategy.

Aligning the Academy's rules influencing the mindset of junior wizards across different academies led to data differentiation, thus triggering the product's explosive growth and ultimately achieving results-oriented goals. Affected users were then given resources and their needs were quickly responded to, ultimately resulting in empowerment.

In short, my career is bright!

On the other hand, Neville and Hermione, both deeply wounded, reacted very differently.

After being subjected to Snape-style roars and taunts from every angle, he was already in tears.

After a certain unscrupulous professor announced the end of get out of class, Neville, looking disoriented, walked out of the classroom door crying, looking extremely pitiful.

Seeing this, Owen, sensing that he was another potential client, was about to instruct Harry to go over and comfort him when a figure suddenly appeared beside Neville.

soon!

He completely extinguished any thought of sympathy he had just had.

He saw Hannah run over, pat Neville on the shoulder, and whisper comforting him.

In an instant, Neville's disheveled figure became repulsive.

Hmph! What kind of winner in life is that?

Harry looked at Owen beside him, who was gritting his teeth, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At eleven years old, he didn't understand love and romance.

He thought Owen was angry because Snape was deducting points so many times. Before leaving, he specifically told Owen not to talk back and not to make Snape angry again.

Unfortunately, this didn't work.

Because Snape had no intention of letting him go!

"Hmph! Well then, Mr. Sanchez, you should clean the crucible."

Monday afternoon.

Irving returned to the Hufflepuff common room early.

Then, to Justin and Hannah's astonishment, he said, "Little Snape? He's easy to deal with. I only used 30% of my strength and he fell down."

The two were stunned, thinking that Owen and Snape were fighting.

If other junior wizards said this, of course they wouldn't believe it.

But that's Kyrie Irving!

Is there anything at Hogwarts that he wouldn't dare to do?

Of course, the reality is: "Snape only forbade him from using a wand, he didn't say he couldn't use magic at all."

Therefore—'A powerful cleanse that wipes everything away is indeed the greatest magic spell!'

The next day, very early in the morning.

Irving's valiant record quickly spread.

The Gryffindors were overjoyed to see Snape suffer a humiliation.

The Gryffindor upperclassmen who were planning to cause him trouble even declared that they intended to let him go.

In response, Irving would like to say, "There's no need for that. Feel free to nitpick."

If they don't fight this battle, they will never understand who is the true head of Hogwarts and the elder brother of the junior wizards!

The first lesson in the morning is Defense Against the Dark Arts, a class that leaves countless young wizards deeply disappointed.

The Hufflepuff wizards arrived early at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom on the fourth floor.

This was supposed to be the most anticipated course for all the first-year wizards at Hogwarts.

Until last week in class, Quirrell messed everything up.

This turned the course into a joke.

Now, everyone's expressions during class aren't as expectant.

Actually, the first-year wizards' reactions were relatively good. The older wizards, especially fifth and sixth graders, who had hoped to finally learn some useful magic this year, were the most disappointed.

Last year, when Quirrell was a professor of Muggle Studies, he was quite popular.

How could he have changed so much in just one year!

In fact, of all the courses at Hogwarts, only Defense Against the Dark Arts can't be determined by the way the young wizards walk in the corridors.

After all, taking Defense Against the Dark Arts class is like opening a blind box.

Nobody knows what will happen.

The young wizards had different opinions about their hurried pace.

Taking a break! The afternoon's work was pretty easy to do, sigh! I've already written six thousand words at the office, hehe!
