Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 81 Volka's Potions Lesson
At night, Ms. Volka Anlow was ushered in the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. This curly-haired girl from Hufflepuff came in with a huge cauldron in both hands.

"Are you going to get started today?" Ash was taken aback for a moment, and he watched Vocka struggling to place the cauldron on the table.

"Huh..." Woka breathed a sigh of relief. She leaned on the sofa and wiped the sweat from her forehead slightly with her sleeve. "Isn't Potions class just about hands-on practice?"

Ash was silent for a while, he really didn't know about the Potions class, he nodded, and then waved his wand, "The cauldron is coming."

An ordinary black cauldron flew out from the corner of the office, and landed firmly on the desk.

Voka looked at Ash's wand enviously, then rubbed his hands together and took out a textbook.

"Professor, can we start?"

What's the rush... Ash glanced at her, and then took out a first-year Potions textbook from the drawer. It was all Anna's fault. He was going to study Thestrals tonight.

But looking at Vulka's brown eyes, Ash couldn't refuse anything for a while. He really wasn't good at rejecting others, otherwise he would have rejected this job of spreading fire a long time ago.

No, this is a blessing from the gods...it's not a hard job.

"Which potion have you learned?" Ash flipped through the textbook and asked, after all, the first half of the course was almost over.

"Herbicide." Woka thought for a while, "It's still a sleeping pill..."

"Then let's start with the herbicides." Ash said, and with a wave of his wand, he took a few potion ingredients from the bag in the corner, which he bought when he returned from the Burrow today.

"The refining of this potion is relatively simple, and the main difficulty lies in the preparation of the materials." Ash said casually, all of which he read from Snape's notes, "This potion needs Flobber caterpillar mucus, Huo Krapp juice and lion squid spine."

As he spoke, Ash took out these few medicinal materials from the material bag, and placed them in front of Woka.

The slimy caterpillar slime made the girl turn pale subconsciously, but she bravely put on her gloves and began to handle this disgusting material.

Ash nodded slightly, and he followed the steps in the book to guide Woka step by step. Although Woka's movements were a little stiff, he was still proficient. At least it could be seen that he was listening carefully in class.

Or maybe they listened to Snape's class very seriously.

"Very good." Ash nodded slightly. Wo stirred the cauldron proficiently. When she heard Ash's praise, she subconsciously raised her head and smiled. As a result, she stirred a few more times.

"I have to do it all over again, Miss An Luo." Ash spread his hands, then flicked his wand to fetch some materials again.

……

"The heat is not good, Miss An Luo, you should pay attention to the adjustment."

……

"There are too many materials, Miss An Luo."

……

"Don't pour too much water, try again."

……

"Again……"

……

Finally, when the alarm clock pointed to ten o'clock, Ash nodded slightly at Woka's work, "It's still a qualified work, Miss An Luo."

He looked up at the clock, and then said to Woka: "Miss An Luo, you should go back and rest."

"Ah? Is it so late?" Woka felt that he had learned a lot in the past few hours. Although Professor Embers had a cold tone, he was very patient. He never seriously criticized her or ridiculed her. A professor with a smelly mouth formed a stark contrast.

Of course, this does not mean that Ash knows more about potions than Snape. It can only be said that Mr. Snape seems to be really not good at teaching classes...

"Thank you, Professor." Volka thanked with a smile, and then took out a pair of black gloves from his small bag, with some yellow sun patterns sewn on the edges. There are a lot of thread ends and a bit weird pattern on it, indicating that the author should not be Especially good at handwork.

"This is..." Ash froze for a moment, he didn't reach out to take the glove.

"Gift for you, Professor, thank you for agreeing to teach me Potions." Volka generously handed the gloves to Ash, and then said, "Although I'm not particularly good at these, I feel pretty good." She pointed Sun pattern, "Isn't it beautiful?"

Ash smiled slightly, "Very beautiful, thank you, Miss An Luo." He put on his gloves, although they were a little small, they still felt very warm.

"Excuse me, professor." Woka said with a smile, then packed his schoolbag and prepared to leave.

Ash nodded, and then watched Vorka pick up the cauldron and strenuously walk to the door.

"Cough cough." Anna coughed, how could this guy have the heart to let a little girl go home at night with a crucible in her arms... it was really heartless.

Her cough brought Ash to his senses, and with a wave of his wand, the cauldron floated behind him, "It's a bit late, Miss An Luo, I'll take you back, lest Filch see the deduction."

"Okay." Vorka nodded, and then waved his wand, "Luminescence flashes." It illuminated the dim environment in the corridor.

The two walked downstairs one after the other. Hufflepuff's lounge was next to the kitchen on the first floor, and the door seemed to be a painting of fruit.

"Deng dong." Footsteps came from the end of the corridor, startling Worka, she shrank back subconsciously and bumped into Ash's waist.

"Deng dong." The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and they gradually turned the corner in front of them.

It's not a ghost in a horror movie, but Som with dark circles on his face. This Comrade Death Eater hasn't slept well since his last failure. Some students said that he is developing in the direction of Ash. On more than one occasion, someone saw the office that was always bright all night during a night tour.

"Embers?" Som was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet his colleague in the corridor. He lowered his head and saw Worka. He subconsciously showed a gentle smile, but he seemed a little reluctant because he was a little tired.

"Good evening." Ash nodded, "Who are you?"

"Can't sleep, come out for a walk, how about you?" Som asked, he was a little curious.

"Send Miss An Luo back to the lounge, she just asked me some questions." Ash said casually, completely ignoring the huge cauldron floating behind him.

"..." Som looked at the cauldron and opened his mouth, but he still didn't speak. He wiped his glasses with trembling fingers, "It's getting late, Embers, good night." After saying that, he left slowly.

Ash looked at his leaving back and was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's go."

……

"Professor Som's situation seems..." Woka thought about it, "not very good."

"Yeah." Ash nodded, and then there was no movement. His appearance as a topic terminator made Vocka couldn't help shaking his head. Professor Embers is good everywhere, but he hardly talks except in class.

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Hufflepuff's lounge. It was not the fruit painting that Ash had heard about... but a wooden barrel. To be honest, it was not as good as the fruit painting...

"Thank you, Professor." Vorka bowed slightly, and then took the cauldron from Ash.

"Good night, Professor." She waved slightly.

"Well, good night." Ash nodded. He watched Vocka get into the lounge, and subconsciously took out the pair of gloves from his pocket.

He looked at the gloves and smiled, then slowly returned to the office under the moonlight.
