Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 22 Potions Lesson

Hermione became increasingly dissatisfied with Maple, who went to the library less and less frequently.But what made her most angry was not that she had to go to the library alone without Maple's company, but that she guessed what Maple was thinking.Maple was getting ready for the weekend, and no matter how much she asked, Maple wouldn't speak.

"Sir, where can I get a broomstick?" Maple found the almost headless Nick and asked.

"Isn't there a broomstick shed in the school?" Nick replied doubtfully.

"I'm a freshman and I'm not allowed to hold a broomstick. What I want to find is a way that won't alarm the teachers and students, you know, Sir?" Maple asked.

"Since the school doesn't allow it, then don't do it." Nearly Headless Nick advised.

"This is not a Muggle school. What kind of wizard is he if he hasn't violated the school rules a few times?" Maple snorted.

"Jazz, do you want to cut off your head completely? I can help you!" Seeing that Nick was unmoved, Maple directly took out his trump card.With Uncle Jiu's Maoshan Technique, as long as he studies it further or directly possesses the five-star card, Maple can cut off Nick's head immediately. There are too many ways to deal with evil spirits in Maoshan Technique.

"Really!" Nick, who was almost headless, immediately said with trembling eyes and bright eyes.

"As long as you can help me find the room in the castle where the broom is hidden without alerting the professor, I will agree to your request. But let me tell you one thing, that magic is not mature yet and will take some time to perfect. ." Maple said.

"Is one year enough?" said the almost headless Nick.After hearing this, Maple immediately thought of next year's Halloween. Nick seemed to want to fulfill his wish before that important holiday.

"That's enough, Sir!" Maple said.

"That's good." Then Nick leaned close to Maple and whispered, "I know there is a secret room, and there should be what you need there."

"It's opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle where the troll beats Barnabas the fool!"

After spending so much effort, Maple was not only doing it for the weekend hunt, but also for the secret room itself.

Room of Requirement, got it!Without revealing her prophetic identity, Maple had actually forgotten where the Room of Requirement was.

"Thank you, Sir, I will take care of your matter as soon as possible!" Maple thanked Nick.

Knowing the location of the Room of Requirement, Maple prepared to explore it after her last class of the week.

"What classes do we have today?"

"Two Potions lessons with the Slytherin students."

While eating in the restaurant, Harry received a letter from Hagrid, inviting Harry to go down to him for tea. Harry happily agreed and wrote a reply.

"Hey, Professor Snape, long time no see. Have you missed me in the past two years?" Maple greeted Snape familiarly after entering Snape's classroom.And not only Gryffindor, but also Slytherin students are respectful.

"Find a position and do your job." Unexpectedly, Snape did not choose to scold, which made the young wizards look suspicious.

Maple did not come to her seat immediately and sit down. Instead, she walked to the storage room of the classroom and rummaged through the old Potions textbooks.

Snape put the Half-Blood Prince's Potions textbook in the storage room just so that students could find it.It's just a pity that Snape underestimated his intimidation power. In his class, there was no one who was not an honest and well-behaved child.So it wasn't until the course changed professors that Harry accidentally got the Half-Blood Prince's advanced potion making that he had deliberately left behind.

But the greedy Maple obviously would not be satisfied with this book. He rummaged around again and found that it was not only about advanced potion making, but also basic potion making. It seemed that he had kept all the potion textbooks from his student days. Here it is.

Maple stuffed the whole thing into a waist bag that had been cast with a traceless stretching charm, and then went to find a seat to sit down with the Elementary Potions class in her hand.

Snape saw Maple's movements, showing a hint of surprise and a rare smile, if the twist at the corner of his mouth could be considered a smile.

Seeing an empty seat next to Hermione, Maple walked over and sat down.

"What did you do?" Hermione asked curiously.

"I found some treasures!" Maple said with a smile.

Potions class is held in an underground classroom.It's colder here than in the main castle building above.There are glass jars placed along the wall, and the animal specimens soaked in them will make you shiver.

In this environment, the atmosphere of Snape's eerie Potions class did not change in any way because of Maple's appearance.

Snape, like Flitwick, picked up the register as soon as class began, and like Flitwick, paused when Harry's name was called.But compared to Professor Flitwick's excitement, Snape was mean and mocking——

"Oh, yes, Harry Potter, this is our new arrival - a famous character."

He probably felt that James Potter's annoying face hanging in Lily's eyes was an insult to Lily's beautiful eyes!If he had only inherited Lily's appearance, I'm afraid Snape would have wanted to raise Harry as his own son!

It's just that God played a cruel joke on him, leaving him with only Lily's eyes, but the man he hated the most passed on to Lily's child more things.

So in the struggle between love and hate, he guarded Lily's eyes as a treasure, and then vented his dissatisfaction and anger on Potter's stinky skin except these eyes.

After Snape's taunt, Draco Malfoy and his two lackeys, Crabbe and Goyle, covered their mouths with their hands and chuckled.Why are you laughing? If you knew that your lines for the rest of your life would be nothing but giggles, I wonder if you would still be able to laugh.

After Snape called the names, he looked up at the class. His eyes were as black as Hagrid's, but without the warmth of Hagrid's.His eyes were cold and empty, making you think of two dark tunnels.

"You are here to learn the precise science and art of potion-making," he began, his voice barely above a whisper, but everyone caught his every word.Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the intimidating power to bring order to a classroom with little effort.

"Since there's no silly waving of wands here, many of you won't believe this is magic. I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of a simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrant aromas wafting out. You will not truly understand the magical power of the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which makes people feel dizzy and confused. 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 It’s the kind of stupid fool I often encounter.”

After he finished his short opening remarks, the whole class fell silent.Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances.Hermione Granger moved almost to the edge of her chair and leaned forward, seemingly eager to prove that she was not a stupid fool.

The drama begins, Maple feels deep sympathy for Harry.

"Potter!" said Snape suddenly, "what would I get if I added narcissus root powder to a wormwood infusion?"

What kind of grass root powder was put into what solution? Harry glanced at Ron, who was as stunned as he was; Hermione's arms were raised high in the air.

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

Snape curled his lips contemptuously.

“Tsk, tsk—it seems that fame doesn’t mean everything.”

In the Victorian language, asphodel is a lily that looks like a narcissus, and its flower language is "my regret follows you to the grave"; while wormwood means "bitter sadness", and Lily Potter's death was his lifelong concern. Bitter sadness and hopeless regret that cannot be undone.

After vaguely expressing his longing and regret for Lily, and then sarcasm and ridicule towards Potter, who made Harry the combination of Lily and James?

Snape, do you feel comfortable bullying James in the face?

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you look for it?" Hermione tried her best to raise her hands as high as possible without leaving her seat, but Harry didn't do it at all. Don't know what bezoar is.He tried not to look at Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, who were shaking with laughter.

"I don't know, sir."

"I take it you didn't read a single book before term started, did you, Potter?"

Harry forced himself to look directly into his cold eyes.When he was at the Dursleys' house, he had indeed read through all the books, but could Snape ask him to memorize all the contents of "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Fungi"? Snape still ignored Harry. Min's trembling arms.

"Potter, what is the difference between Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum wolfsbane?" At this time, Hermione stood up, and her hand stretched straight towards the ceiling of the underground classroom.

"I don't know," Harry whispered, "but I think Hermione knows the answer. Why don't you ask her?" Several students laughed.Harry caught Seamus's eye, and Seamus winked at him.Of course Snape was unhappy.

"Sit down," he snapped at Hermione, "let me tell you, Potter, narcissus root powder and wormwood can be mixed together to make a very powerful sleeping potion, which is a dose of water of life and death. The bezoar is made from the cow A kind of stone taken out from the stomach of a man, it has a strong detoxifying effect. As for Aconitum naviculata and Aconitum wolfsbane, they are the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum. Do you understand? Why don’t you write these down? "

While everyone else in Gryffindor was looking at Harry with sympathy, Maple was staring at Snape with interest. He noticed that when Snape looked at Harry, his eyes changed. The focus is mostly on Harry's eyes.

Perhaps he was too obsessed with Lily's eyes. It was almost at the end of the first bullying process that he finally noticed this annoying look.

So Harry lay down again, and amid the rustling of quills and parchment, Snape said: "Potter, because you contradicted the teacher, Gryffindor will be deducted ten points for this."

In the original time and space, Harry was only deducted one point. This was probably for Lily's sake. Harry allowed him to see Lily's eyes again.But in this time and space, after noticing Maple's scrutinizing gaze, Snape felt offended and directly deducted ten points from Harry.

Potions class continued, but the situation for the Gryffindor students did not improve.Snape divided them into teams of two and instructed them to mix a simple potion to cure scabies.

Maple looked through the textbooks and found that the lower-grade potions textbooks had not been revised much, and there were not as many spells as there were in the advanced potion-making textbooks.

"Pay attention to the order of addition, and crush it thoroughly. Also, the medicinal powder that has been filled once must be thoroughly cleaned. Once other medicinal powders are mixed in, even just a trace will affect the efficacy of the medicine." In Maple's foresight, After mentioning a few details, Hermione, who was already a top student, immediately made the most perfect potion.

Maple's potions are slightly worse than Hermione's. It seems that girls are still more careful than boys.But Snape turned a blind eye to Hermione's perfect potion and praised Maple's potion——

"Yes, ten points for Slytherin!"

"Hey, Professor, you remember correctly, I am a Gryffindor student!"

"You were already my disciple before you entered school, Maple!" Snape said stiffly.

Then he turned around and left dragging his very long black cloak, and then praised Malfoy's potion again, adding another ten points to Slytherin, which made the little lions of Gryffindor very angry, but Faced with Snape's power, the little lions of Gryffindor did not dare to tease his beard.

At this time, Neville finally had an accident and his hellish career in Potions class began.Fortunately, Maple and Hermione were right behind him.

"Armor protection!"

"Clean it up!"

Maple cast the Iron Armor Curse in time to block the splashing potion.However, Maple's Iron Armor Curse could only protect one person. Neville was not injured at all. On the contrary, several classmates around him were splashed by the potion.And because of the rebound of the Iron Armor Curse, more potion splashed on the ground than before.

But no matter how bad the situation is, it will only burn their shoes. At most, they will burn their shoes and then burn their feet. It is better than Neville's whole body being burned!

Ding, get some academic points.

Hey, yes, this feeling is good.It seemed that I had to sit closer to Neville in the future, so as to be ready to deal with the disaster that would happen to Neville every potion class. Then the academic mastery would be delivered to my door.

You are my baby, Neville!

Maple looked at Neville with bright eyes. Seeing the strange look in Hermione's eyes next to her, Maple quickly retracted her expression, "I'm not gay, don't get me wrong!"

"Recover as before!" Seeing the man who burned Seamus' pot to a crooked appearance, Maple cast the recovery spell again.It's just that the power of the spell was not strong enough. It just barely restored Kanguo to the appearance of a pot, but it did not completely restore Kanguo.

"Idiot!" Snape roared.

"I think you put the porcupine quills in the pot without taking it off the fire, didn't you?" Neville started whimpering, apparently frightened.

"Another ten points from Gryffindor!" Neville cried even harder now.

"Restored to the same state as before!" Snape said a little to Seamus, who miraculously returned to the way it was before it was burned.Maple smiled. It seemed that Snape was deliberately demonstrating to him, otherwise, he would not be so kind as to repair the Gryffindor students' things.

"Maple, you handled it well, twenty points for Slytherin!"

Sure enough, is this really good?He actually earned so many points for Slytherin. Should he be more low-key in Potions class from now on?But my academic points are also very important. It’s really a dilemma!It’s difficult, it’s so difficult for me!

"Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine quills? Do you think he made a mistake just to show you off? Gryffindor lost another ten points because of you." Then he walked around Harry and Ron After going back and forth, the two of them happened to be operating next to Neville, so Snape found another opportunity to deduct points from Gryffindor.

This was so unfair, and just as Harry was about to defend himself, Ron kicked him behind the pot.

"Don't be ridiculous," he whispered, "I heard Snape is very unreasonable."

After a while, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.It was finally over, and the Gryffindors felt like they had just escaped from hell.After Snape announced that get out of class was over, Gryffindor collected their things very quickly, and then hurriedly left the Potions classroom in the blink of an eye, as if reincarnated.
