Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

Chapter 12 Potions Lesson

Potions class is taught in an underground classroom.It's colder here than the castle keep above.Along the walls are glass jars in which various taxidermy animals are soaked.

Like Flitwick, Snape picked up the roster as soon as the class started. When Augustus's name was called, Snape obviously paused.As the dean of Slytherin, Snape naturally knew the tradition of Slytherin's selection of hidden prefects, and the various performances of this year's Augustus had already reached his ears through the descriptions of many people. , for such an outstanding Slytherin freshman, Snape's always rigid face softened a little.

"Oh, yes." When Harry's name was called, Snape's voice suddenly changed a little. "Harry Potter, this is our newcomer - a famous character." Augustus I am a little surprised why a professor who has such obvious disdain for Harry suddenly appeared among the professors who have always liked Potter, yes, such obvious irony, obviously everyone heard it, Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle were giggling with their hands over their mouths.

After Snape called his name, he raised his eyes to look at the whole class. In his dark eyes, there was indifference and emptiness, reminding you of two dark tunnels. "You have come here to learn the delicate science and exacting art of potion-making," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, but every word caught him.Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the intimidating power to bring order to the classroom with little effort. "Many of you won't believe it's magic, as there's no foolish wand waving here. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with its white smoke and fragrance, You don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magical power that makes people's hearts swell and their minds blurred...I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death-but there must be one thing, that is, you are not Just the kind of dumbass fools I've come across all the time."

As a demigod archmage who has experienced countless ups and downs, Snape's demagogic words are actually very unnutritious to Augustus, and those who were inspired by Snape are full of enthusiasm. Unlike the students in Chung, Augustus has long been used to seeing the lives and deaths of countless people. For him, only the pursuit of the true meaning and essence of magic is the only thing he can't let go of.Not to mention, prevent death?As one of the most terrifying laws in the natural world, Augustus dare not say that he can resist death even if he completely stepped into the divine realm.

After he finished his short opening remarks, the class fell silent.Seemingly attracted by the deceptive words, Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances.Hermione Granger moved almost to the edge of her chair and leaned forward, looking eager to prove that she wasn't a dumbass.

"Potter!" said Snape suddenly, "what would I get if I added powdered daffodil root to an infusion of wormwood?"

"I don't know, sir," said Harry.

Snape curled his lips contemptuously.

"Tsk, tsk—it seems that fame isn't everything."

Snape deliberately ignored Hermione's raised arm.

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it?" Harry looked around in despair, except for Hermione's still raised hands, Most of the Gryffindor students looked helpless, and of course most of the Slytherin students were watching jokes. Suddenly, Augustus, who seemed to be a little impatient, appeared in Harry's sight. When facing Malfoy on the train, Harry looked at Augustus with pleading eyes.

In fact, as early as Snape started to ask Harry the second question, Augustus was already a little dissatisfied. He came here to learn the best of the family and absorb the essence of various magical theories. Instead of wasting time listening to a professor keep asking students questions he doesn't know.

"Professor Snape, since Harry doesn't know, why didn't he ask other people? For example, Miss Granger. Or I can explain it." Augustus looked at Snape and said calmly.

In the silent classroom, Augustus's iconic voice suddenly sounded. Everyone was stunned for a while, and after hearing the content clearly, they all looked at Augustus in disbelief. They questioned him in Snape's class. What courage.Many Slytherin students also looked puzzled, as if they didn't understand why Augustus had to rescue a Gryffindor student.

There seemed to be a flash of anger in the depths of Snape's eyes, but it was fleeting, followed by a thoughtful and puzzled expression. Looking at the still calm Augustus, Snape Pu's face gradually returned to calm.

"Very well, Mr. Augustus, now it's up to you to answer these two questions." Snape's flat voice seemed to contain a bit of chill, and the already dark classroom seemed a little colder.

Augustus looked at Snape indifferently, and said all the answers naturally.Snape nodded, instead of continuing to ask questions as before, he turned around and walked towards the podium again.Seeing that the matter was exposed like this, everyone was inexplicably moved. They didn't know whether they admired Augustus' courage or were surprised by Professor Snape's uncharacteristic behavior.Of course, for Harry, he was naturally full of gratitude for Augustus's two consecutive rescues.

Afterwards, Potions class continued, but the situation of the Gryffindor students did not improve.Snape divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies.In the group with Augustus was Mo Yan, who was defeated by Augustus in the first battle of the hidden seniors. For being lucky enough to be in a group with Augustus, Mo Yan was naturally extremely grateful joy.In fact, almost everyone among the many Slytherin freshmen now has an inexplicable sense of admiration for Augustus.

While Augustus was concentrating on arranging all kinds of fine materials, Neville somehow burned Seamo's hot pot into a crooked piece, and the potion in the pot suddenly spilled on the stone floor. Some students who had no time to escape had their shoes burnt in an instant. Seeing the potion that was about to flood all over the classroom, most of the students began to stand on stools to avoid this indiscriminate disaster.

Augustus frowned, took out his silver wand and pointed it at the ground, a spell similar to clearing it up took effect, and the potion on the ground disappeared instantly.

Snape added ten points to Augustus appreciatively, and growled loudly at Neville who was already twitching and crying: "Idiot! I think you probably didn't take the pot off the fire. Put the porcupine quills in, didn't you!" Seeing the many scabies popping out of Neville's nose, Snape snapped at Seamus with some disgust, "Take him up to the hospital ward."

Potions class ended in such a farce-like ending. The students filed out along the classroom stairs in twos and threes. Hermione followed Ron and Harry, watching the crowd of Slytherin students still calm Augustus as ever. "I just said that even if he enters Slytherin House, Augustus can't become like those Slytherins." Hermione said proudly to Ron and Harry.

Ron snorted indistinctly, while Harry was in a daze. Indeed, the young man in white robe who was on the train back then is still as handsome as before and has never changed.
