Save the world from Hogwarts

Chapter 12 The Eve of Halloween

Lin Zhen picked up the book, which was about intermediate potion making.

The potions textbook that the first-year students of Hogwarts now study is elementary potion making. It seems that Snape thinks that with Lin Zhen's strength, he can try more complex potions.This admission may be the most obvious complimentary expression for his awkward personality.

Lin Zhen smiled happily, her smile was bright and sunny, and he said loudly in an excited tone: "Okay, Professor"

Snape gave him a look of disgust and waved his hand to let him study on his own.He picked up the quill and continued to write his unique comments on the students' papers.

Lin Zhen unceremoniously sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace and read books comfortably.

Obviously, this is a textbook that former students have read or used. Every page of the textbook is densely covered with notes.The notes explain in detail every step of making the potion recorded in the textbook, and some even suggest ways to improve it.

Lin Zhen is like a treasure.Just like what he said to Draco and the others, the book has its own beauty.He loves reading books, which is more than just a pastime. He believes that every book has something worth learning.In fact, he is not particularly fond of potions, but he doesn't mind completely mastering this skill without being overwhelmed. Besides, he is also a well-known savior in the magic world, and he must be worthy of this title.

The owner of this book obviously has a lot of research on potions, and Lin Zhen feels that every point mentioned here is worthy of his verification.He glanced up at Snape, who was grading his homework, and secretly guessed whether he was the owner of the book.

The wood burned in the fireplace, giving off a warm light.The only sounds in the Potions Master's office were the rustling of quills writing on parchment and the sound of books being turned.Occasionally there will be a "beep" sound of firewood in the fireplace, but this makes the room warmer and more comfortable.

Lin Zhen read the contents of the first lesson thoroughly, got up and went to Snape's material room to look for production materials.Snape glanced at him when he walked into the material room, then lowered his head and continued grading homework.

Lin Zhen placed the intermediate potion science on the small corner next to the console and began to process the materials.Snape was still grading homework, and Lin Zhen occasionally heard a few sounds that seemed to be grinding of teeth. Perhaps the students' homework was not satisfactory, which made Snape grit his teeth in disappointment.

Lin Zhen recovered her mind, set up the crucible, and prepared to try the improvement method proposed by the unknown senior in the textbook.He was not sure whether this method was dangerous, so he decided to be on the safe side and let Professor Snape guide him.

"Professor," Lin Zhen turned to Snape and asked, "I'm sorry to interrupt your work. I would like to ask you to guide me in brewing potions. I saw notes recording some improvement methods in the textbook you gave me. I want to try it out."

Snape put down his quill, stood up from his desk, and walked to the console.He glanced sideways at Lin Zhen and said: "Very good, it seems that our savior is very courageous and always has the courage to try new things. For the sake of your life, I will supervise you here so that I don't have to go to Deng. Bledo explains how his beloved savior died."

Lin Zhen asked in surprise: "Principal Dumbledore cares about me very much."

"This has nothing to do with what you are going to do tonight." Snape said coldly.

Lin Zhen shrugged and started brewing the potion.

Whoever wrote these notes must be a potions genius.Lin Zhen admired secretly in her heart.He found that the improved method took less time than the method indicated in the textbook and made it easier to produce potions of perfect quality.The textbook said that this potion of bone growth required at least six hours to brew, but Lin Zhen used an improved method to complete it in only two hours and 10 minutes.

He looked at the potion in the crucible and praised in a low voice: "The person who improved the potion is really amazing. He must be a potion master."

Snape hummed softly and asked Lin Zhen to bottle the potion.

"Take your new textbooks and go back to your falconry."

"Okay, professor." Lin Zhen responded happily, "Good night."

He hugged the intermediate potions book to his chest and closed the door of the potions office.

"Have a nice night," Medusa winked at him from the door, "It's the first time I've seen students from houses other than Slytherin get along so well with Professor Snape."

"Maybe it's because they didn't realize how good Professor Snape was." Lin Zhen also blinked.

"Good night, Harry."

"Good night, charming Lady Medusa."

Medusa smiled "hehe" and glanced at Snape in the office.

Time flies by like a white horse, as Lin Zhen pursues knowledge.When Lin Zhen woke up one morning and smelled the sweet and tempting smell of roasted pumpkin wafting in the corridor, he discovered that it was already the end of October.

For two months, Lin Zhen has been training her body continuously.Although he still looks thin now, his body under the robe is already strong and healthy.In terms of study, Lin Zhen silently mastered all the content he needed to learn in the first grade. At the same time, he also learned a lot of useful knowledge thanks to the magical collection of books in the Ravenclaw lounge.

The progress of Potions is also gratifying. He can perfectly brew most of the potions in Intermediate Potions. For the remaining potions that take a long time, Lin Zhen plans to seek Snape's opinion before brewing them.Now he often helped Snape by brewing healing potions for the school's hospital wing, which made Snape's attitude toward him more gentle.

He came to the hall to have breakfast, and then went to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class with his classmates.After lunch, Ron came excitedly to tell him that he had successfully made feathers float during Charms class.

"I can't believe it, man" Ron blushed with joy, "I successfully cast the spell before the end of get out of class the first time and it was successful the second time I recited the spell."

"You're so awesome," Lin Zhen praised, "I tried six times before I succeeded, but you succeeded the second time. It's so awesome."

Ron smiled sheepishly: "Actually, it was Hermione who told me how to pronounce the words and wave the wand. She successfully made the feathers float in the air for the first time. Professor Flitwick gave our college two bonuses because of her." very."

"Hermione is so smart," Lin Zhen said, "Why didn't she come with you?"

"Hermione thought it was an unimportant matter," Ron became even more embarrassed. "She said there was no need to come and tell you excitedly, so she left first. But you know, for me, the joy of such success is How rare.”

"I understand, Ron." Lin Zhen smiled, "You did a very good job."

Ron left happily.Lin Zhen returned to the Ravenclaw lounge to read.

In the evening, a Halloween party is held in the hall.The hall was colorfully decorated, and the delicacies on the table were full of Halloween flavor.

Lin Zhen was eating bone-in lamb chops when Professor Quirrell suddenly burst into the hall.The big scarf hung crookedly on his head, and he looked frightened.Everyone looked at him.He ran to Dumbledore's desk, leaned against it, and gasped: "There are trolls in the underground classroom. I thought you knew."

As if he was holding on to his last breath to report the news, after he finished speaking, he fell softly to the ground and fainted.

The students panicked, and the hall was filled with buzzing discussions.Dumbledore stood up and said something loudly, but it was drowned in the discussion and no one heard him.

Dumbledore gave himself a "loud voice" and said loudly: "Be still."

The hall grew quiet and the students looked at Dumbledore.

"The prefects of each college will lead the students of this college back to your lounge. I will go with your teacher to see the situation of the troll."

The students started to move, lining up one by one and walking out of the hall.

Lin Zhen glanced disdainfully at Professor Quirrell who had fainted on the ground, then turned around and followed the team.Halfway through, he realized that it was almost six o'clock. He found a secret passage leading to the cellar and walked in.

Medusa opened the door for him, but Snape was not in the office.Lin Zhen guessed that he and Dumbledore went to check on the troll.

He set up the cauldron in a familiar manner and began to boil the healing potion. The demand for the medical wing was huge.

As he was brewing the third pot, the cellar door banged open and Snape limped in.He seemed a little surprised to see Lin Zhen there.He immediately returned to his usual walking style, with an angry look on his face: "Very good, it seems that our savior thinks his life is not important, or his ears have lost their function. Dumbledore clearly asked you to return to your own rest." room."

Lin Zhen walked quickly to Snape worriedly: "Today is Wednesday, Professor, I have potions tutorials."

Snape glared at him fiercely and opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Zhen interrupted him hastily: "I came through a secret passage. It's safe. Professor, are you injured?"

"This is not your concern." Snape waved away Lin Zhen's reaching hand and limped to the sofa to sit down.He lifted his robe to reveal a bloody wound on his leg.

The wound was so large that it covered Snape's entire thigh and was bone-deep.The bleeding had been stopped, but the torn black trousers were stained even darker with blood.Lin Zhen immediately went to Snape's potion cabinet and brought out several bottles of healing potions.

"Which bottle should I use, Professor?" Lin Zhen asked.

Snape took a bottle out of his hand and was about to pour it into his lap.Lin Zhen snatched it away: "I'll do it, professor."

Without waiting for Snape to answer, Lin Zhen opened the lid and carefully applied the medicine to Snape's wound.When the medicine comes into contact with the wound, it makes a "chichi" sound.The muscles in Snape's legs trembled rapidly, but he made no sound.

"Did that big dog bite me in the corridor on the fourth floor?" Lin Zhen asked in a low voice.
