The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

There's no rush to go to the kitchen to improve the food. Link doesn't want to bother someone else's kitchen at noon.

So after struggling to eliminate the food in front of him, Link went directly to the dormitory to take a nap, and then went directly to the Potions classroom with a bunch of potions equipment.

Yes, their class this afternoon is Potions class.

The so-called Potions classroom is actually a semi-basement. The dark and damp lighting here relies entirely on the few old magic lamps that have become extremely dim and the torches on the walls.

Moreover, there are many cabinets filled with specimen jars arranged around the classroom. Various strange human organs and weird creatures are soaked in some unknown liquid. The strange light makes the entire Potions classroom stand out. Terrible.

On the podium at the end of the classroom is a complete set of crucibles, small boilers, measuring cups, knives and other items needed for refining potions.

It's just that there is no one on the podium now. It is obvious that the professor teaching this course does not like to arrive early like Professor McGonagall.

After taking a brief look at the surrounding environment, Link sat in the area belonging to the Hufflepuffs according to the area divisions, and placed various tools such as cauldrons and textbooks on the table from the space bag he carried with him.

While Link was tidying up his desk, other students also arrived in the classroom one after another.

This time it was Gryffindor who was in class with Link and the others.

It is said that only the bravest students will be sorted into Gryffindor, and in line with the character of its students, the representative color and symbol of Gryffindor also happen to be gold and red, which symbolizes courage, and a head of Lion.

It is worth mentioning that Dumbledore, the current principal of Hogwarts, was also born in Gryffindor. Dumbledore also has extraordinary strength and outstanding achievements, and is known as the greatest white wizard of the [-]th century. .

Under his example, Gryffindor was also called the best house in Hogwarts by some.

Of course, Ravenclaw and Slytherin houses dismissed this and strongly condemned it.

As for Hufflepuff House, they maintain an indifferent attitude.

Getting back to the subject, it wasn't until the bell rang that the door to the Potions classroom was pushed open again.

A wizard with greasy black hair and a cold and serious face walked into the classroom.

And because he walked very long and wore a large black robe, from Link's perspective, he looked like a big black bat when he walked.

He is the Potions Professor, Severus Snape, and the Head of Slytherin House.

As soon as Snape arrived, the atmosphere in the classroom became cold. Even the Gryffindors, who are known for their bravery, sat upright in silence at this moment.

Snape himself walked quickly to the podium, waved his right hand casually, and a bare blackboard hung from the ceiling.

"You'd better hope you've done your homework, otherwise we're going to have some fun today."

Professor Snape said slowly.

His speech was extremely slow and his voice was strange, devoid of emotion, and sounded like he was talking in his sleep.

Such a voice coupled with his seemingly expressionless face naturally put an invisible pressure on everyone present.

The students in the audience were also very cooperative, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Seeing this, Snape continued:

"What we are going to make today is a delirium, which is a dangerous drug. As long as you drink a little bit, you will become reckless and manic, and you will do some things that ordinary people can't understand.

It consists of scurvy, lovage, sneezeweed, ten tablespoons of water and two tablespoons of Sigel's solution.To make the perfect potion, you first need to peel off the sneezeweed rhizome with a spatula before using it.”

Professor Snape continued to speak in that indifferent tone. As he spoke, a piece of chalk automatically flew to the blackboard and recorded what he said one by one.

At the same time, there was a rustling sound of pen writing below the podium, and students were quickly excerpting class notes.

This is a necessary step in Potions class, as these items are the basis for completing the Potions homework.

If you don't write it down in time, you will not be able to do these class assignments well no matter what, and you will have to copy them from your classmates.

As for the consequences of not doing homework well and being caught copying homework.

That can only be said to be quite sad.

Professor Snape is the most hated and feared professor among most students in the school.

He is definitely among the best in the industry when it comes to teaching students who make mistakes.

Link was also writing notes, but he didn't just use them as materials to complete his homework, but he really wanted to learn the Potions course well.

In the process of copying notes, Link also discovered some mysteries in Snape's blackboard.

Link had previewed the content of the Confusion Curse before. The Potions class textbook also recorded the production process of the Confusion Curse, and it was very detailed. It was so detailed that Link even felt that as long as he had the materials, he would not be able to do it at all. A level where you can start making without the need for guidance from a professor.

But the content of the steps written by Snape at this moment is slightly different from that in the book.

For example, regarding the process of stirring a heated medicinal solution, the textbook states that stirring is required in a clockwise direction, but Snape writes in a counterclockwise direction.

For another example, when dealing with sneezeweed, the textbook says that it needs to be peeled off bit by bit starting from the root, but Snape's instructions are to cut a small slit and then tear it directly.

Link didn't know which of the two methods was better, but between textbooks and Professor Snape, he chose Snape without hesitation.

Putting aside the consequences of not listening to Snape, Link has read the original work.

So he knew very well that the greasy-haired middle-aged man in front of him was one of the world's top potions masters. When it came to potions, the guys who wrote the textbooks were not necessarily as good as Snape.

On the other side, Snape, who had fully explained the entire potion making process and principles, did not wait for the students to finish copying their notes, but directly said:

"The above is everything about the Confusion Potion. To be honest, this is simply the simplest and most useless potion I have ever seen. If you can't even make it, I'm afraid I really need to ask Pomfret Mrs. Lei will try to open your skulls to see if the contents inside are actually paste."

After saying this, Snape shook his arm expressionlessly, and then three strangely shaped plants and two jars of transparent liquid appeared on everyone's desk.

"Then, let's start making it."

Following Snape's order, the students in the audience immediately picked up the tools at hand and started making the intoxicating potion, regardless of whether they had finished writing the notes.

At this time, Link also finished writing the last letter and started taking action.

However, compared to others, Link's movements were much calmer and more cautious.

I saw that he first carefully put on the protective dragon leather gloves, and then picked up the scraper and started to prepare the raw materials.

At this time, Professor Snape on the podium also walked down with his hands behind his back.

His pair of cold, deep, lifeless eyes that were as silent as a deep pool kept scanning back and forth over the students.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Link felt that he didn't look like a professor who was always ready to answer questions for his classmates, but more like a lion walking by the water source on the African savannah, drinking from those who were there. choosing prey among animals

Hey, it’s been so many days, I don’t need to say more about what I should vote for.
