Chapter 153: 'Accus”

Chapter 153: “Accus”

The boy at the door was named Harry Evans.

The five Slytherin sophomores were familiar with him.

Last year, Harry Evans had been in the same grade as them, though he belonged to Gryffindor House.

Unfortunately, his final exam scores were so dismal that he ended up repeating the year.

Now, while his peers had moved on to their second year, he was forced to start his first year again.

As a result, he had been subjected to quite a bit of teasing.

Matthew was aware that Evans wasnt to blame for this situation.

Most of the previous semester, the Harry Evans they had interacted with was actually an impersonation by a dark wizard.

The real Mr. Evans had been confined to the school hospital for over half a year due to illness, during which he had not learned anything.

It was hardly surprising that he ended up repeating the year.New novel chapters are published on

However, this matter was kept strictly confidential at Hogwarts, and only a select few knew the truth.

Even the memory of Harry Evans might have been erased.

Well, everyones here, Professor Snape said with a smile.

Come in, Mr. Evans, he motioned towards the door, Mr. Evans is here for his Transfiguration class. I thought Id have him join in todays practice with you all First, have some tea!

He began distributing cups of tea to the students in the office.

Matthew took a cup of the steaming tea, sweetened with plenty of brown sugar. It tasted quite good.

Lets discuss todays plans, Professor Snape said while sipping his tea, This after-school session might extend through the entire day

Mr. Pringle was known for his odd and irritable temperament, while Mr. Donald was a rather aggressive Golden Retriever.

Not only students but even teachers around the castle seemed to have a strained relationship with them.

Yet, Professor Snape appeared to get along well with them.

They continued past the greenhouse and Professor Kettleburns cabin.

On the small rooftop at the forests edge, smoke wafted upward Professor Kettleburn seemed to be cooking.

Professor Snape didnt pause to disturb him but led the way deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

The faces of the students looked slightly pale, but they had no choice but to follow Professor Snape into the forest.

The expansive Forbidden Forest gradually enveloped them, and they followed a narrow path that wound deeper into the dark woods.

The forest was eerie, cloaked in silence.

Curious, Im sure you all wonder why Ive brought you here, Professor Snape spoke casually, his tone relaxed. After all, todays practice involves Transfiguration and not defensive dark magic or magical creature protection.

There was no response, and Matthew himself wasnt sure what was happening at this point.

In my view, however, Transfiguration demands the most practice and needs real-world exposure, Professor Snape continued, his tone growing more serious:

Lets take a basic example Can any of you turn this tiny piece of wood into a needle?

The students exchanged uncertain glances.

Mr. Malfoy, why dont you give it a try? Professor Snape handed the small piece of wood to Draco.

Draco nervously accepted it and drew out his wand.

Bending down, he placed the piece of wood on the ground and aimed his wand at it:

Accus!
