The White Lord of Hogwarts

Chapter 11 Snape gasps

Harry was stunned.The terms daffodil root powder and wormwood infusion are very familiar, but he really can't remember where he has seen them, and he has no way of knowing what he will get when he adds them together.

He glanced at Ron and found that Ron was just as confused as he was.Maybe Love and Hermione knew the answer, but they both sat behind Harry and couldn't see it even if they wanted to.

So he could only tell Snape that he didn't know.

After hearing this answer, Snape's eyelids drooped slightly, and no one noticed the flicker of disappointment in his eyes.

"Looks like fame isn't everything," he said dismissively.

Hermione couldn't hold back her desire to go up and answer Harry's questions, but Love kept pressing her arm and told her with his eyes: don't get involved!

"Let's try again." Snape didn't end his inquiry. "Potter, if I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it?"

This is a question that a Muggle can answer.Bezoar is the calculus of cattle, so it is natural to look for it in the belly of the cow.

However, Harry didn't even know what bezoar was, so he could only say again: "Sir, I don't know."

Malfoy next to him almost laughed out loud.His father, Lucius Malfoy, told him before the start of school that he hoped that he could become friends with Harry Potter, the boy who lived in catastrophe. Therefore, he made several efforts, but every time he tried, it turned out to be counterproductive. As a result, the relationship between the two is getting worse.

Malfoy was a little worried about this before, but now it seems that Potter is nothing more than that, not worth his friendship at all.

Snape was extremely disappointed by Harry's reaction.Judging from Harry's performance, he only inherited his mother's eyes, and the talent for potion science does not exist at all!

"I'm afraid you haven't read a single book before school started, Potter." Snape hated the name Potter, but having to keep pronouncing it made him feel even worse.

Harry was also very wronged: when he was at the Dursleys' house, he did go through all the books, but that didn't mean he could handle this level of random questions.Those who can answer Snape's question must have memorized all the contents of "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi"!

"I've seen it." Harry gritted his teeth and spit out two words from his mouth.

"Oh? Then Potter, tell me what is the difference between acanthus aconite and wolfsbane aconite?" Snape bent down, put his hands on Harry's desk, stared closely at Harry's eyes, and then A question was raised.

Harry still didn't know the answer.Hermione, who was sitting behind him, was numb. She looked at Love bitterly: She didn't understand why Love stopped her, and she really wanted to answer these questions.

But Love just shook his head at her, put his index finger in front of his lips, and made a "shh" gesture.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Snape was embarrassing Harry. How could he allow others to help Harry at this moment?As for why he targeted Harry, I'm afraid it will take some investigation afterwards to find out.

After being silent for two seconds, Harry said to Snape in a dry tone, "I don't know, Professor, you can ask those students who know."

As soon as Harry's words came out, several young Slytherin wizards in the classroom laughed out loud.

In just three short questions, Snape completely gave up on the boy in front of him.In his mind, Harry's image inevitably merged with that annoying James, the two looked exactly the same, and even the talent in Potions was as bad as his father.

He wanted to tell Harry the answer directly, and then start today's teaching, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Love and Hermione's small movements behind Harry, two veins appeared on Snape's forehead, and he changed temporarily. idea.

"Love Moon, you seem to be able to answer these three questions for Mr. Potter?" Snape decided that if Love Moon couldn't answer, he would be locked up for a day.

For some reason, he was very angry when he saw Love and Hermione making small movements there.

Seeing that Love was pointed out by Snape, Hermione showed a look of extreme envy. She only hated why she didn't answer these three questions by herself.

Like to rush to answer questions in class, which is a common phenomenon for children who love to learn.What I did was nothing more than a bit of face and the joy of getting praise from the teacher.It's just that these children don't realize that many teachers don't like this kind of behavior, because children who raise their hands too actively will reduce the participation of other children, and will also bend other people's thinking.Therefore, many teachers will instinctively feel headaches when they see those children who raise their hands frequently.

Hermione didn't know this, and she naively thought that as long as she actively answered the questions, she would win the love of the teachers!
"Narcissus root powder and wormwood can be combined to make a powerful sleeping potion, the water of life and death. Bezoar, a stone taken from the stomach of a cow, has a strong detoxifying effect. Aconitum acanthus and wolf's poison Aconitum is the same plant, collectively referred to as aconitum." Luo Fu replied in a deep voice.

As Harry had expected, he had almost memorized the contents of the book "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi", so these three questions were completely bonus questions for him.

"Correct." Snape said blankly.As for whether he was surprised in his heart, no one knows.

All three questions turned out to be correct!

The students in the classroom were all shocked.Most of them asked themselves, if they answered these three questions by themselves, they would end up not much better than Harry, but Love actually answered all of them!Now everyone secretly remembered the name Love Moen in their hearts.

【Scholar point +90】

Love raised his eyebrows: With such a basic question, how can each of them bring you 30 learning master points? !
Then he really wished that Professor Snape would ask endless questions.

It's just that Snape obviously didn't have the motivation to continue asking. With a sarcastic smile on his lips, he looked at Harry and said mockingly: "Potter, this is how someone who has read books before school starts. If you just put The book is spread out, and then keeps turning the pages, even the trolls in the forest can read the book."

Although Harry didn't know what a troll was, he knew that Snape was mocking himself.

After a few words to Harry, Snape decided that he could start today's lecture.But he noticed that Love, who had just been called up to answer questions, was still standing there.

"Is there something wrong with you standing here? Mr. Moen." Snape meant that you can sit down if you have no questions, but Love actually asked a question.During the summer vacation, he did encounter a few questions that even Senior Foxy didn't know how to answer. Since Snape, the master of potions, said that he could ask him questions, Love would not be polite.

"Professor, I do have a few questions."

"Oh?" Snape suddenly became a little interested in the little black-haired wizard.

"Ask." He allowed Love to ask himself the question.

"Professor, I read a potion called Compound Potion in a book. It is said that after taking this potion, it can change into the appearance of other people. Is this transformation only the appearance or even the internal structure? and changed?"

Love was very curious about this, he wanted to know if a boy turned into a girl, wouldn't it be...

And this question can be further divergent. After transforming into a girl, does only the appearance change, or does the internal structure also change?If the internal structure changes, will the functions unique to girls but not to boys also be attached?Furthermore, if the compound decoction is taken for a long time, can a boy give birth to a child for another boy, is this child his and his child, or his and hers child?

Snape fell into a rare silence, he really wanted to knock Love's head open to see what this guy was thinking.And why did he come into contact with such an unpopular and extremely difficult potion as compound decoction?He's just a freshman!

"Compound decoction is an extremely difficult potion to prepare. Its raw materials are very rare, and the preparation process is also very complicated. This has led to very unpopular research on it, so basically no one has studied the questions you raised... Or even if they knew it, no one would announce it." When it came to the professional field of Potions, Snape said a long series of words which was rare.

Most users of compound decoction have ulterior motives.It's too late for them to conceal that they have used the compound decoction, so how can they spread the specific status of the use process everywhere?Not to mention that Polyjuice Potion requires an extremely rare ingredient, making long-term consumption of Polyjuice Potion next to impossible - barring looting the collection of a wealthy potions master.So Love's question is destined to not have an authoritative answer, but it is theoretically possible.

"But I think the internal structure will change at the same time." Although there was no theoretical support, Snape still made a conclusion based on his own experience.

It stands to reason that Professor Snape has answered Love's questions as much as possible. At this time, he should accept it as soon as he is ready, sit down obediently and start the normal Potions class teaching, but Love continued to throw out asked a question:
"Does the hair have to be from a living person? Can the hair of the dead be effective?"

Snape:?

Snape: (⊙_⊙)
Snape:!

At first glance, this question sounds outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, it is really outrageous, but...

Snape thought about this question seriously.

"It shouldn't work." In the end he answered Love's question in a very heavy tone, and then he looked at Love meaningfully and warned: "Don't think about this issue anymore, it's not what you should think about matter."

Regarding Love's conjecture, Snape believed that there was a high probability that it would not work, and even if he could make compound potion, he would not conduct research in this area, because it was a blasphemy against the dead, and he had already touched black magic field of.

"Who taught you this knowledge?" Snape took a deep breath and decided to end the question and answer.However, he was a little curious about where Love came into contact with these things, so he asked him one last question before starting the lecture.

"Sister Foxy taught me during the summer vacation, Foxy Swift."

Snape:  …

He just felt dizzy for a while: Why is that child so worried?It's fine for me to keep causing trouble, but now it seems that there is a tendency to pass the trouble on to the next generation of freshmen!Snape knew that Foxy Swift wanted to leave Hogwarts after the OWLs to exchange with other schools, or start working, so she wanted to cultivate a successor before going to exchange?
Snape's first reaction was that it was necessary for him to warn Foxy to teach her less things she shouldn't teach, but in the next second he realized: Love Moen is a Gryffindor!
He was a Gryffindor!
What he just said made Snape almost forget his origin, subconsciously thinking that he was a student of Slytherin, but now calm down and think about it, Love Moen was assigned to Gryffindor House.

Regardless of whether the score is accurate or not, the sorting ceremony is over, everything is settled, and he is a Gryffindor.Then Minerva McGonagall is responsible for what he did!He could stand aside and watch the excitement when Minerva McGonagall was in a state of desperation.

As for whether Love would become a dark wizard or something without perfect teaching, Snape didn't care.This is something that Love's headmaster, Minerva McGonagall, and Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, should worry about. What does it have to do with him, Severus Snape?
"I will pass on the question you raised today to Professor McGonagall."

Love:? ? ?
The little wizards around didn't react too much, because they didn't understand the conversation between the two at all.I didn't even understand it, so how can I tell the astonishment of Love's questions.They just felt that Love had offended Professor Snape, so they were picked on.

"Okay, Mr. Moen, you can go back to your seat, we should also start the class." Snape waved his hand, and finally began to teach.

Snape was in a good mood after talking to Love, so he didn't even make trouble for Harry Potter in the first half of the class.In the second half of the class, he divided the students into pairs and asked them to mix a scabies potion according to his own instructions.

On the blackboard in the Potions classroom, there are instructions for preparing a scabies potion:
【1. Smash snake fangs

2. Steaming slugs with tentacles

……

7. After the potion has cooled slightly, add porcupine quills to it]

In Snape's opinion, this was the simplest potion, and if he couldn't do it well, he would be a hopeless idiot.

"When did Miss Foxy tell you about those things?" Hermione hid it in the The question that had been on my mind for a long time came out.

"I talked about it during the dinner chat. At that time, you had already been taken home by your father."

Hermione heard the news like a bolt from the blue.She regrets it very much now, why didn't she stay at Love's house for a while longer?Sure enough, I missed important knowledge!
