Chapter 43 - Snape Vs Flitwick (1/2)

They soon arrived at Hogwarts and were greeted by the 4 statues in the Entrance Hall.

”Well there are our answers for this riddle. As long as we can get the tool of immortality, we'll be able to go in,” Kristine said.

”Well we'll have to figure out what that tool of immortality is before being able to do anything,” Chris said.

'Well I have an idea of what it is, but I have time. I do want to personally see the events go down after all,' Chris thought.

Classes went by normally and at the end of the class, Professor McGonagall called the three over.

”Activities resume today. Please do stop by,” Professor McGonagall said.

”Yes ma'am,” Chris said.

”Off you go now,” Professor McGonagall said satisfied with his answer.

After Quidditch practice, Chris met up with Hermione and Kristine to go to the Dueling Club room. Surprisingly, the room was empty with no teachers or students in sight. The three looked at each other, shrugged, and took their seats.

Once they sat down, Chris noticed Hermione squirming in her seat.

”Are you that impatient to take that test Hermione?” Chris asked.

”Well, the only thing I've heard from Professor McGonagall was that my shield wasn't good enough. Now that I feel that it's good enough, I have to get it approved or else it won't feel right,” Hermione said.

”Luckily Father said he'll cover for us and allowed us to practice magic while we were in New York or else you two would've still been stuck on the Shield Charm,” Chris said.

”Yes and because of that I can finally feel right again,” Hermione said.

”Hello there you three,” Chris called out.

”Hello,” Harry said with a somewhat fake smile.

”Hello,” Ron and Se-yeon said afterwards at the same time.

'I suppose even with the changes, he saw the Mirror of Erised,' Chris thought.

”Do you feel alright there? You don't look quite happy. I suppose break being over has saddened you quite a bit,” Kristine said to Harry jokingly.

Harry chuckled a bit hearing this.

”On the contrary, I feel kind of glad it's over,” Harry said.

The room was silent for a bit before Hermione broke the silence.

”You think that as well?!” Se-yeon asked. ”I've been telling these two that it's never too early to study and they haven't been listening to me,”

”It's 6 months before the exams. We're just going to forget what we studied since we're still learning,” Ron said. ”Simply put, there's really no point in studying right now,”

”It's always good to study early. Nothing has ever gone wrong after studying early,” Se-yeon said.

”Except for my brains needlessly feeling like they're going to be turned into putty,” Ron said.
