Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

In the afternoon Charms class, nothing unexpected happened. Just like the Transfiguration class, Noel once again stole the show. He answered several questions from Professor Flitwick perfectly, helping Slytherin House get 4 points. In this way, in the next few days, Noel had to get a few points for Slytherin in every class.

When there were no classes, he would go to the Room of Requirement alone, transfer the content of his homework to the magic quill, and let it write the homework assigned by the professor that day.

Noel himself continues to study the first Asolkin magic array diagram. He has now designed 4 methods to reconstruct the magic array diagram. Hesitantly considering that the process of reconstructing the magic circle was too long, Noel planned to go to the Room of Requirement to reconstruct the magic circle during the rest time this Saturday and Sunday.

The construction difficulty of the Asol Golden Magic Array is Noel's most difficult magic circuit so far. It is a complex and huge collection of circuits with many mysterious structures. Noel understands these mysterious structures and has been using them for practice these days. Meditation time is diverted to studying and understanding these mysterious structures.

Although there was no meditation, Noel's mental power still increased, and the system showed that his mental power increased from 20 to 21.

Noel would go back to the Slytherin common room after dinner every day and sit by the fire to rest for half an hour.

Noel was not just trying to warm himself up, he had an important goal, to integrate into the Slytherin group. Occasionally, for a few seconds, the first-year wizard would come over to ask him a few questions, or tell Noel about his new news.

Every time, Noel would answer their questions carefully and give a few compliments at the end, making them leave happily.

Later, several senior students who became familiar with Noel would also say hello to Noel and chat about recent interesting things.

Everything went according to Noel's imagination.

That afternoon, after dinner as usual, Noel went back to the Slytherin common room to take a nap in front of the fireplace.

"Look who this is, our rising star in Slytherin - Noel Black. Let us thank him for scoring 20 points for Slytherin House just four days into the school year." Cole walked up to Noel as soon as he approached the lounge. He said to everyone.

"It's nothing, Prefect Cole. As a member of Slytherin, I should make a small contribution to the glory of Slytherin."

Noel, who found that many Slytherin students had gathered around him after Cole said this, had to stand up.

"Actually, I want to thank each of you even more. It was you who made me feel the pride of being a Slytherin when I first entered the academy. Thank you!"

"Black, you don't need to say that. We are also members of Slytherin. Although we have always contributed to Slytherin, no one can bring 20 points to Slytherin like you when we first entered school. You It already makes us proud in front of classmates from other colleges." Gemma said next to her.

"Yes, Black. If I hadn't gone to Professor Snape's office today, I would have never known that you actually added 20 points to the college in four days. Professor Snape said that he hopes you can also contribute to the Potions class tomorrow. Bonus points for the academy.”

Cole said excitedly,

"You don't know, our Headmaster is notoriously strict, and other houses basically deduct points in Potions classes. Although he is more tolerant to us Slytherins, he has never been in the first period of the first-year freshman class. Points for Slytherin House in class. We hope you break this record."

"Yeah, the first time I took Professor Snape's class, he directly deducted 4 points from Ravenclaw. We were lucky that no points were deducted. But there were no extra points either."

said a senior student next to him.

"I was also..."

"..."

Other students around him also began to talk about their first Potions class.

"Thank you everyone. Since everyone is so looking forward to Professor Snape giving Slytherin points tomorrow, then I must prepare carefully. I will preview "Thousands of Magic Herbs and Mushrooms" now. All for Slytherin. Glory!" Noel said after asking everyone to quiet down.

"All for the glory of Slytherin!"

"All for the glory of Slytherin!"

"All for the glory of Slytherin!"

………………

The next morning, after practicing in the Room of Requirement for an hour, Noel arrived at the underground potions classroom 5 minutes before class. It was cooler than the main building of the castle above, but it was more suitable for the students living in Slytherin. I have gotten used to this cold feeling.

Most of the seats in the classroom were already filled with students. Noel found a seat next to Hermione and sat down.

"Good morning, Hermione. It's not enough for you to just memorize the knowledge points. For potion making, you need more practice."

"Hi! Noel, I haven't seen you for a long time. Professor McGonagall praised you in our Transfiguration class." Hermione said to Noel happily.

After arriving at Hogwarts, she hadn't seen Noel for several days, and the classmates around her somewhat deliberately avoided her.

"Haha, you need to work a little harder to surpass me. I'm very optimistic about you, Hermione."

Noel said with a smile.

"Hello, Noel." Harry, who was beside Hermione, also noticed Noel.

"Hello, Harry. How is life at Hogwarts? And hello, Ron. I almost didn't notice you."

"Hello, Noel!" Ron said a little embarrassed.

"I like life here, Noel." Harry thought for a moment.

"Ah That's good!"

.........

At nine o'clock on time, Professor Snape came to the Potions classroom. Like Professor Flitwick, he first picked up the roster and called the names, and stopped when he called Harry's name.

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

When the third Malfoy brother heard this, he covered his mouth with his hands and laughed.

When Snape finished calling the names, he looked up at all the students. His eyes were cold and empty, making you think of two dark tunnels.

"You are here to learn the precise techniques and strict craftsmanship of this potion preparation."

He spoke, his voice barely above a whisper, but every student could hear every word he said, and like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape had the intimidation to keep the classroom in order without much effort. strength.

"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 understand the beauty of the slowly simmering crucible with white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You won't really understand the wonderful magic of the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and blurs their will. …”

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the stupid fools I often encounter."

After he finished his wonderful opening remarks, the classroom was silent.

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

"I don't know, Professor."

Snape curled his lips contemptuously.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems fame doesn't mean everything."

"Let's try again, Potter. If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you look?"

"I don't know, Professor."

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

The third Malfoy brother turned to look at Harry, his whole body shaking with laughter. Noel glared at Goyle who could see him.

He was so frightened that he quickly pushed Malfoy back to his original position and pointed at Noel behind Crabbe. Malfoy immediately stopped Crabbe who was still laughing.

Noel didn't care who they laughed at, but he had to ensure that Snape could give Slytherin extra points today.

Regarding Hermione's raised arms, Noel wanted to tell her that Snape was specifically looking for trouble with Harry today and would not let a third party get involved in the emotional dispute between him and Harry.

"Potter, what's the difference between the boat-shaped aconite and the wolf-venomous aconite?"

"I don't know!" Harry whispered, "But I think Hermione knows the answer. Why don't you ask her?"

"Sit down!" Snape shouted angrily at Hermione, who had already stood up with her hands raised in the air. "Granger is unruly, and one point will be deducted from Gryffindor."

"Black, would you like to tell Mr. Potter the previous answer for me?"

"It's a pleasure, Professor!" Noel stood up and said to Professor Snape.

"Narcissus root powder and mugwort can be combined to create a very powerful sleeping pill, which is just one dose of water of life and death. Bezoar is a stone taken out from the stomach of goats, which has a strong detoxifying effect. As for Aconitum naviculata It is the same plant as Wolfsbane Aconitum, also known as Aconitum. Professor, I have already answered. I think not only Harry, but other students will also remember it."

"Very well, Black. Slytherin gets five points for you."

"Thank you, Professor." Noel said and sat down.

Snape fixed his gaze on Harry, "Potter, because you contradicted the teacher, one point was deducted from Gryffindor."

……

After Professor Snape taught everyone the basic steps of potion preparation, he asked everyone to prepare a simple potion to treat boils according to the method in the "Magic Potions and Potions" textbook.

This was too simple for Noel. He was teaching Hermione how to deal with slugs with tentacles while answering Professor Snape's questions.

Yes, Professor Snape shifted his gaze from Harry to Noel after Noel taught Hermione how to weigh dried nettles and crush snake fangs.

"Blake, why did you only choose the 3 ounce slug?"

"Professor. In fact, I chose the range between 2.5 ounces and 3.5 ounces. Slugs in this range are generally only 6 months old. The slugs during this period have not yet reached maturity. The glutinous colloid in the body is the most, and it is prepared The potion for treating boils works best.”

"Black, I remember this knowledge was not in the first-year textbooks. I wonder where you learned about it?" Snape asked. The surrounding students secretly cast their eyes on Snape and Noel, some with nervousness, some with doubts, some with secret joy, and some even stared at Noel with the look of "Noel, you are finished" - -This person is Malfoy.
