Chapter 178 Are the Professors at Hogwarts This Good?

Ivan held the wand close to the wall, and then he saw clearly that the paintings on the wall were suffering people. These humans all had hideous wounds or bizarrely twisted bodies, which looked extremely strange under the night and the fluorescence of the wand.

"This is really Snape's style," Ivan said looking at the pictures on the wall.

If he remembered correctly, when Snape took up the post of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the original time and space, he had a lot of the same pictures in the classroom.

It is possible that Slughorn, who was the Potions Professor at the time, did not like such a dark style and asked Snape to bring these decorations with him.

[Ding, the Potions Classroom has been explored, and the current exploration progress is 54%! 】

After walking around, the system's beep sounded in Ivan's mind, but Ivan did not leave immediately. Instead, he searched in the cabinet where old books were placed.

"That should be it!" Ivan didn't look for long before he found what he wanted among a pile of books.

It was a tattered-looking book titled "Advanced Potion Making."

Ivan flipped through a few pages and found that they had been scrawled a lot, and a lot of notes and annotations were written in the blank spaces.

If someone else got it, they would think it was scrawled on the book by a naughty student. After all, many of the annotations on it are completely contrary to the content of the textbook.

Some places were even darker, and even a few lines of textbook content had been roughly crossed out, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

But Ivan knew clearly that this was the potions textbook used by Snape, the most capable potion master in the magic world today, when he was a student. In addition to potion knowledge, it also recorded several self-created spells.

Ivan looked at the traces of alterations in the book and couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue.

In the sixth grade, Snape dared to question the contents of the textbooks, innovate and research more efficient potion formulas, which was simply too strong.

In comparison, the students in these years are obviously much weaker. In terms of magic research, no one can reach Snape's level.

Putting the old textbooks away in his pocket, Ivan tidied up the cabinets that he had rummaged through, and then left the potions classroom. Before leaving, he did not forget to restore the door lock to avoid being discovered.

Ivan, who visited dozens of classrooms one night, returned to the door of the Gryffindor lounge before dawn and read out the password.

"Sleeping Lion!"

On the hanging painting in front of the passage, the fat lady who was dozing was startled. She opened her eyes wide and looked ahead, but saw nothing, only darkness.

"It must be you, right? Potter? If you wear an invisibility cloak and tease me like this next time, I won't open the door for you!" The fat lady frowned and said dissatisfiedly, but still got out of the way. He moved his position, revealing the circular passage behind him.

Sorry, I'm not Potter

Ivan shrugged, didn't reply, and got in through the passage.

When they returned to the dormitory, everyone on the bed was resting. The sleepless Harry was holding the quilt and muttering something, Ron was snoring, and the others had no intention of waking up.

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to bed to catch up on his sleep. There were still classes the next day.

In the next few days, Ivan explored all the classrooms and secret passages that he had never been to before, and the progress of the exploration slowly moved towards the sixty mark.

But not everything was smooth sailing. At least in the second Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ivan encountered some unpleasant things.

"Eleven people! A total of eleven people got perfect scores on this questionnaire! Of course, in fact, I originally thought there would be more."

After collecting all the questionnaires, Lockhart looked very excited when he took the papers one by one to make comments.

"One thing that surprises me is Potter! Harry Potter! And Ivan Halse!" Lockhart raised his voice as he said this.

Ivan reluctantly stood up in front of everyone. If he had known better, he would not have written the questionnaire.

Harry, who also stood up next to him, also had a sad face and felt depressed for a while.

"I didn't expect you to remember everything about me. In view of this, I will add twenty points to each of you!" Lockhart said happily, ignoring the expressions on their faces.

He never expected that the two celebrities in the school were actually his fans, which made him less repulsive towards them.

"To be honest, I don't mind taking an intimate photo with you after class!" Lockhart winked playfully.

"No, I have other things to do after class, Professor!" Ivan refused Lockhart's request for a photo without hesitation.

Lockhart looked at Harry disappointedly, and the latter shook his head shamelessly.

After sitting down, Ivan did not get a notification sound from the system. It seemed that this type of extra points was not recognized by the system.

This made Ivan give up the idea of ​​relying on Lockhart to improve his academic points this semester.

After Lockhart was briefly disappointed, he quickly recovered, picked up the book "Wandering with Werewolves" placed on the table, and said to everyone.

"Now let's go to class officially. Today I will tell you how to subdue an out-of-control werewolf!"

"Mr. Neville Longbottom," Lockhart shouted loudly, turning his head to the front row on the left, but did not see the chubby little figure.

Just when Lockhart was wondering, Neville, who had changed his seat and sat in the corner, stood up slightly tremblingly and wanted to refuse, but Lockhart didn't give him the chance and said happily.

"Mr. Longbottom, I think your performance in the last class was very good, so you will play the werewolf today!"

Neville walked to the podium with a grimace and accompanied Lockhart in a poor performance. Sometimes he had to play the role of a dark wizard defeated by Lockhart. When Lockhart pulled out his wand, he pretended to be injured and fell to the ground. .

Ivan watched it with great interest in the audience. It was quite good as a comedy show, not to mention that many of the plots in it were true, but the protagonist was not Lockhart.

The pages of the diary on the table were slowly opened, and the black ink on it turned into a line of text.

[Are all the professors at Hogwarts now of this caliber? Tell students stories during class? 】

Ivan rolled his eyes, whose credit do you think this is?

If you hadn't created a curse, Dumbledore wouldn't have to worry about the choice of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor every year.

Anyone in the wizarding world who is qualified for this position has either been there for a year and has been unlucky, or has heard about it and rejected it outright.
