Chapter 550 Snape's Private Tutoring
"Oh, right, Harry, there's one more thing." Seeing everyone fall silent, Sirius spoke up, "Dumbledore asked me to tell you that Sirius was slightly injured, but he's fine now and resting in St. Mungo's ward."
"Really?" Harry immediately forgot about Fudge and Voldemort, and jumped up.
This action attracted a lot of attention, and people all looked over.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Harry quickly covered his mouth and sat back down, lowering his voice to ask, "I mean, is Sirius really alright? When can I see him?"
"Hmm—that's not entirely true." Xiren added some water to his crucible.
"Sirius was tortured by the Death Eaters before, and may have even been subjected to the Cruciatus Curse. He will definitely need to rest for a while, and probably won't be able to leave St. Mungo's anytime soon."
Harry was somewhat disappointed, but this feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
Anyway, it's good that Sirius is alright. Even if I have to go to school and can't visit him, I can still write letters.
"Wait, since Sirius can't leave St. Mungo's, what are we going to do with our Defense Against the Dark Arts class?" Hermione suddenly asked, raising the most important question at the moment.
Sirius Black is the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. If he can't come back, what will happen to this class? We can't just skip it.
At other times it might not be a big deal, and they're used to it, but this year they're in fifth grade, and the 0.WL exam is just around the corner.
"Has Headmaster Dumbledore said anything about the new professor?" Hermione asked.
"No," Xilun shook his head and said softly, "Maybe he's already found one."
Despite saying that, no one seemed to really believe it.
This book was first published on 2020s.com, providing you with a reading experience free of errors and disordered chapters.
They knew all too well how difficult it was to find a professor for this course; Dumbledore spent an entire vacation just to find Sirius Black, an acquaintance of his.
Finding another one in just a few days is no easy task.
"Perhaps Professor Moody should teach us," Harry said thoughtfully.
Alastor Moody was their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor last year, but he was attacked by Death Eaters during the holidays, so Dumbledore had to find Sirius to take over his job.
Now that Sirius is injured again, it seems quite reasonable for him to come back.
However, Siren thought it was unlikely. Alastor Moody seemed quite busy lately, especially after Dumbledore and Fudge parted ways. He would only have more things to do, so how could he have time to attend classes at Hogwarts?
The group continued discussing the selection of a new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
At first, Harry was worried that Snape might suddenly return, so he kept glancing at the classroom door, intentionally or unintentionally.
But Snape didn't show up again until the end of get out of class.
"If only Potions class could be like this from now on," Ron said as he left the underground classroom. "Without Snape nitpicking, and just following the steps on the blackboard, I feel like the potions I brewed today were better than before."
Harry nodded vigorously in agreement.
He was talking to Xilun while brewing the potion, but even with this multitasking, he still managed to finish.
The orange potion, the silver smoke, and the bubbles suspended in the middle of the potion—all exactly the same as the standard answer.
He had never been so successful in making potions before.
"Why can't the Potions professor be the one cursed?"
Snape and Hagrid were absent during lunch that day, and they were also absent during dinner.
From Siron, Harry learned that Hagrid had been sent by Dumbledore to do a very tedious task and had already left Hogwarts. In the afternoon, Ginny also told them that the Professor of Protecting Magical Creatures had been replaced by Professor Grubland, who had previously substituted for the class.
He hoped Snape would feel the same way, and that he would never come back.
However, this expectation was soon dashed.
It's still Colin Crevey.
As they finished their potato pancakes and were about to return to the common room, Colin ran over from afar.
"Harry, Professor Snape asked me to tell you not to forget to attend your make-up class at six o'clock."
Harry froze on the spot—he had almost forgotten that he was to be tutored by Snape alone.
Even the news that Sirius had escaped danger was not enough to alleviate his terrible mood, which intensified with every step he took toward Snape's office.
But there was nothing anyone else could do but watch him walk to the underground classroom from the lobby, and then disappear into the darkness at the end.
Harry's departing figure was somber, as if he wasn't going to learn Occlumency from Snape, but rather to have a final battle with Voldemort.
After Harry's figure had completely disappeared, Ron sighed silently and looked at Siron with a sympathetic gaze.
Because Siren was also to be tutored by Snape individually, just not on the same day as Harry; Harry's was on Monday, and his was on Tuesday.
Siren was actually a little nervous, wondering how Snape would teach him Apparition.
So when he passed by the second floor, he went to the library and borrowed a few books about Apparition. After finishing his homework, he read them in the common room.
Although I don't know if the contents of these books are useful, it's good to know more basic knowledge. At least it will give Snape one less excuse when he deliberately picks a fight.
Around eight o'clock, Fred and George returned from outside, bringing with them their latest invention.
"Headless hat!" George stood on a stool, showing off a pointed hat decorated with pink feathers.
Two gallons for a hat; once you put it on, your head and the hat will disappear together.
The effect is similar to an invisibility cloak. Although the area is small, it is a genuine invisibility effect, which is quite practical under special conditions—such as hiding the body and only showing the head to observe the situation.
Several younger girls immediately screamed, while the others burst into laughter.
After George took off his hat, his head reappeared.
"That's amazing. I want to buy one. That way, Snape won't know where to cast his spells."
Siren paused for a moment, then turned around and realized it was Harry.
"When did you get back?"
"Just as George announced its price," Harry said.
"How's Snape's private tutoring?" Siron asked.
"This is terrible," Harry said, rubbing the scar on his forehead as if it were about to split open.
"He didn't want to tutor me properly at all; he just wanted to take the opportunity to settle personal scores."
Harry looked at Cyrus seriously: "Listen to me, if he tries to use any spell on you, don't do nothing, you must fight back!"
