Chapter 1015 Scars
Harry opened his eyes suddenly and reached out to cover the stinging scar on his forehead. His face showed the exhaustion and sleepiness after having a nightmare.
He dreamed of that long and dark corridor again!
During the summer vacation, Harry began to have similar nightmares. It's the same corridor every time. Sometimes if you dream a little longer, you can still see a locked door at the end of the corridor.
These **** dreams were making him uneasy. Harry didn't know what it meant, but he knew it was never a good thing to keep having similar dreams.
Harry knew very well that if he dreamed once, the second time might be an accident, but if it happened too many times, it would definitely not be an accident.
He once told Sirius about this, and also asked Albert about it after school started.
Albert told him that this dream might be related to Voldemort's power becoming stronger again. The other party gave him four suggestions: stay calm at all times; find someone to learn Occlumency; take a dreamless sleeping potion before going to bed; and talk to Dumbledore if you need anything. Lido helps.
Harry felt that Albert might have guessed something, but he didn't say anything and only gave him a few suggestions.
Harry used the two-way mirror to seek help from Sirius. However, Sirius was sometimes very busy, and Harry more often found good friends to talk to.
Ron was always worried but didn't know what to do. Hermione suggested that Harry go to Professor Dumbledore for help, but Harry hadn't seen Professor Dumbledore recently, not even entering the principal's office. Don't go.
So, most of the time, Harry can only take a small amount of sedatives to control his emotions and try not to be affected by his emotions as much as possible. This is the only thing he can do at the moment.
The stinging pain from the scar on his forehead made Harry get up from the bed, reach under the pillow and take out a small medicine bottle, and poured out a few painkillers from it.
This bottle of medicine was given to him by Sirius after he told Sirius that he had a nightmare. It can relieve the pain of scars. He guessed it was another thing invented by Anderson.
Harry poured himself a glass of water and took a long gulp to relieve the thirst in his throat. When he was about to go back to rest, he noticed Seamus staring at him.
Harry didn't pay attention to the other person's gaze and lay back on the bed to rest.
Ever since the two sides had an unpleasant quarrel on the first night of school, Harry had been too lazy to pay attention to each other.
Just a fool who deceives himself. Harry can't help such a guy. He can only wait for him to recognize the reality.
After taking the medicine, the sting from the lightning scar on his forehead was much relieved. Harry closed his eyes in a daze. He was going to take a nap. He was going to Hogsmeade today, so it didn't matter if he slept late.
Harry got up relatively late and was still a little tired when he went downstairs for breakfast. He slowly put food into his mouth and chatted casually with Ron, who was flipping through the newspaper beside him. Hermione brought them a good information.
Fred and George have found a place that is private enough to serve as the DA's activity room.
This was undoubtedly good news to be happy about. Harry had even doubted that they would never find such a place.
A few people passed Filch's inspection and were walking on the road to Hogsmeade. Harry asked: "Have you been to the activity room that Fred and George talked about?"
"I haven't been there. Fred and George asked me to finalize the time of the party before telling me the specific location of the activity room." Hermione lowered her voice and said, "I suspect that is their secret base."
“Those two guys have a lot of secrets up their sleeves,” Ron muttered.
"I think they were infected by Albert. How do you say that..." Harry reached out and scratched his hair. He couldn't remember it for a moment, so he changed the subject and said, "But, his book " "Self-Defense Guide" is indeed very good, but there are some things in it that I really can't understand because no one has taught me, such as how to cast spells. Hermione, can you understand that?"
“What method?” Ron asked puzzledly.
"It just teaches people how to duel with others." Hermione explained. "I think the things in that book are very difficult. We haven't learned many things. Albert seems to particularly advocate the use of silent spells to fight, but I think the whole school Not many people are good at that stuff.”
"What are you talking about?" Ron was confused. He had not read the contents of the "Self-Defense Guide".
“The Self-Defense Guide also teaches you how to duel.” Harry explained to Ron, “Although more often than not, it advises you not to confront dark wizards head-on.”
"However, there are many examples in that book." Hermione continued: "For example, what should a person do if he encounters several malicious wizards in the forest? How should he save himself if he encounters a werewolf? If he encounters a giant, What should I do, what should I do if I encounter a dementor, what should I do if I am attacked by an untransformed werewolf?”
“Sounds very practical.” Ron also found it interesting. He decided to ask Hermione to borrow the book after Harry finished reading it.
"In the forest, you can use spells such as flying sand and stones to cause trouble for the enemy, and use Apparition to escape when the enemy's vision is blocked, or use the Disguise spell to escape. You can also cast spells on plants to let them sneak up on the enemy, but I think this requires a high level of attainment in the Transfiguration Spell." Hermione felt that if the "Self-Defense Guide" was used as the basic textbook for the Defense Against the Dark Arts course, only a few people would be able to barely pass the exam after graduation.
It is not difficult to imagine how bad the Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts really is.
"I think that after thoroughly studying the contents of the "Self-Defense Guide", I will probably be able to reach the level of a trainee Auror." Although Harry didn't know what the quality of a trainee Auror was, he heard from Sirius that the Ministry of Magic The level of Aurors is relatively average. Although they may be good at many things, most of them are actually useless. On the contrary, they are very poor at catching dark wizards.
Sirius has the right to speak about this more than anyone else.
Not long after he escaped from Azkaban, he mistook those Aurors for fools.
Others are like walking dogs, and he is like walking around like a dog.
"I dare say that if Toad sees the content in the Self-Defense Guide, he will probably go crazy!" Hermione said happily, and she also knew that Albert and the others were completely teasing Toad as a fool.
Who borrowed the "Self-Defense Guide"?
Of course it just goes around in a circle.
"Unfortunately, we have never had a powerful Defense Against the Dark Arts professor to teach us this useful knowledge." Hermione regretted that Albert could not teach them.
Compared with Hermione's emotion, after reading "Self-Defense Guide", Harry only felt that it was incredible that he could survive from Voldemort's hands. Harry suddenly understood why Albert always said that he was a very lucky man. .
