Chapter 47 Potions Lesson

"What classes do we have today?"

Harry asked Ron as he put sugar in his porridge.

"Take two Potions classes with the Slytherin students." Ron said, "Snape is the head of Slytherin House, and they say he favors his own students. Now we can see if that's true." so. "

"I hope that Professor McGonagall can also lean towards us." Harry said that Professor McGonagall is the dean of Gryffindor College, but she still left them a lot of homework yesterday.

Just then the owls file in and the mail arrives.

So far, Harry's owl, Hedwig, hasn't brought Harry anything.

It flew in sometimes to peck Harry's ear, beg for a sip of toast, and then flew back to the owl house to sleep with the other owls in the schoolyard.But this morning, it flapped its wings between the jam dish and the sugar bowl, and dropped a note on Harry's dinner plate.

Ed placed the dinner plate next to Harry, broke off a piece of toast for his "owl" - the big black swift, touched it, and let the swift fly away.

"Hey!" Fox stood on the table dissatisfied and looked at Ed, putting one paw on the edge of Ed's plate.The proud little bird will never beg for food from the "hair-plucking enemy".

Ed handed Fox the top piece of toast on the plate, and then looked at the note in Harry's hand: "What's written in it?"

Because they got up early today, Draco and the others didn't come to have breakfast with Ed, and Ed didn't want to be crowded with the girls.

After looking around, Ron and Harry were there, so Ed sat down.

"Ed?"

Ron was very surprised when he saw Ed sitting over. After calling his name, he bent down and whispered, "Why are you here? This is Gryffindor's territory."

While peeling the eggs, Ed said, "Why, I'm not welcome?"

Ron pursed his lips and denied: "Isn't that right? It's just that the relationship between Ed and our two courtyards has always been bad. It's not good for you to sit here like this?"

"The relationship between the colleges is not good? What does it have to do with you and me? Could it be that in our class, the relationship between the two colleges can't be good? It's not about the hatred of the country and the family. Be generous, but no one cares.

What's more, I'm not alone here. "

Ed finished peeling the egg, and then put it in his mouth, pointing his fingers in the direction of Hermione and Elizabeth.At the same time, his eyes flicked to the note in Harry's hand:
The writing is very illegible, but I can barely read it

"Dear Harry: I know you don't have classes on Friday afternoon. Could you come and have tea with me around three o'clock in the afternoon? I'd love to know how your first week went. Whether you agree or not, please ask Hedwig to I have an answer."

"Who wrote this?" Ed asked Harry, taking a pen from his pocket.

Harry was very happy to see something he could use proficiently, picked up a pen and hurriedly wrote on the back of the note: "Okay, I'd love to, see you soon."

After letting Hedwig go, Harry returned the pen to Ed and said, "It's Hagrid, are you going with us today?"

In fact, Ed originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly remembered that Hagrid was the gamekeeper of the Forbidden Forest, and maybe he would have to trouble Hagrid with many things in the future.

Nodding and agreeing: "Okay, let's go together then."

Ron and Harry looked at each other, beaming, obviously happy that Ed was going with them.The friendship of children is often so simple and unpretentious.

Potions class is taught in an underground classroom.It's colder here than the castle keep above.Along the walls are glass jars filled with stuffed animals that will make you shiver even more.

Harry and Ron followed Ed, and Hermione and Elizabeth followed arm in arm. As for what happened between the two of them that led to their development as girlfriends, Ed had no idea.

Whomping Willow and Fox are enough for Ed to keep busy. If two 11-year-old underage girls are added, Ed will probably be overwhelmed these days.

"Hermione, do you know what the liquid that keeps the specimens in these glass jars is?"

Ed stopped in front of a specimen, the Motra rat inside seemed to be alive, and the sea anemone-shaped tumor growing on its back was swinging regularly in the soaking liquid.

Hermione thought for a while and answered Ed: "Maybe it's formalin! My parents use this to keep tooth specimens."

Ed nodded, he guessed it should be formalin, the old man used this to preserve his alchemy materials.However, maybe their dean Snape would have something even more magical.

To be honest, it was the first time I saw the dean of my college in person, and Ed and the other little snakes were a little excited.

I heard that the dean never washes his hair, is this true?
Compared with the students of Slytherin, Harry and Ron are resistant to taking potions class in their hearts.Professor Snape, among the other three colleges, the reputation is not very good.

Serious, unsmiling, dark and twisted, has no teacher ethics, never tolerates students' mistakes, and likes to find students' faults most.

All of these are disgusting to these young, eager young people.They like to take risks, but Snape and Filch are against them.

In Potions class, even if you did all the steps right, do you think Snape would praise you?No, you are wrong, as long as he thinks, even if the person behind you has mixed the wrong medicine, the responsibility should be yours.

Therefore, it is best not to leave a bad impression on Professor Snape.

Class was about to start, and Harry saw Ed was still playing with his red crow, and Harry called out in a low voice, "Ed! Ed! Ed!"

Ed didn't hear Harry's words, but Draco who was beside him pushed Ed: "Ed, Harry Potter is calling you."

"Oh." Ed turned his head to look at Harry and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's time for class!"

"I know."

"I mean, it's time for Potions class!"

"Yes, otherwise, what are we doing sitting here?"

Harry was defeated, but he was not someone who gave up easily: "Ed! The professor heard that he doesn't like others bringing birds in, so you let Fox out quickly."

Ed touched Fox's feathers and said, "It's not a bird, it's a phoenix. Don't worry, the professor will allow me to take it to class. Professor McGonagall agrees."

Harry was at a loss for words, he had never met Professor Snape, so it was difficult to persuade Ed.What if the rumor about Professor Snape is the same as the exam at the sorting ceremony?

After Ed and Harry finished talking, Draco looked at the bird that suddenly appeared in his bedroom, and asked Ed: "Are you sure you want to bring your own bird to class?"

"Why, don't you take it? At least half of the classroom has a bird. Professor Snape has to take it too.

What's more, Fox is not a bird, he is a phoenix. "
