Chapter 21 The Shadow of Potions Class

"What are you doing?" Montague watched Noah bring in the book in a daze, and began to read it.

"Preview before class." Noah didn't look up, "I think I might encounter a little trouble in class."

Montague and Warrington were still in a daze, unable to understand what they meant.

When the class was really in the afternoon, the two of them understood Noah's foresight.

Today, the Hufflepuff students were in class with Slytherin. There were not many people in the two houses, and there were only thirteen students in total. The Potions classroom for first-year freshmen was relatively large, so it seemed a bit empty.

Professor Snape walked into the classroom quickly, his large black robe fluttering back, fluttering in the wind blown by his walking.

He walked quickly to the desk, and glanced at the young first-year wizards present with a sinister gaze, making them sit up straight subconsciously.

Professor Snape withdrew his gaze without saying a word, then picked up the roster and began to roll the rolls one by one. Fortunately, no little wizard would think of being late for the first Potions class.

After the roll call, Professor Snape casually threw the roster on the table, crossed his arms and said, "This class is to teach you the quiet science and rigorous craft of preparing potions."

His gloomy eyes swept across everyone, and he looked extremely scary in this dark classroom because it was located underground. He lowered his voice, with a little sarcasm in his tone: "Because this class doesn't need you stupid There are always some idiots who will think it's not magic. Of course, I don't expect you to really understand the beauty of 'the beauty of a simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance wafting out', and neither will you. Knowing the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magical power that makes people's hearts sway and their minds blurred."

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death—" he stretched out his voice, "but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the kind of idiots I often encounter."

This opening sentence was enough to make this group of first-year wizards dumbfounded, but they shared a common understanding - this Potions teacher seemed very fierce!

Just when a group of young wizards were worried about their future academic career, the professor suddenly raised his voice.

"Lannister!"

Noah stood up as expected.

"What will happen if you touch the leaves of the hyena tree rashly?" Snape looked at Noah aggressively.

"Can cause hysteria and uncontrollable laughter, Professor." Noah answered deliberately.

"What is the sting of a Billywig?"

"It is a slender stinger that grows from the bottom of Billywig's body. It is also a kind of magic material. People who are stung by the stinger will become dizzy and then float around. But if there is a serious Allergic reactions to stings can also leave a person permanently airborne."

"Hmph, showing off, but you deserve credit for previewing your textbooks. Ten points for Slytheringa. Sit down."

He turned to a Hufflepuff in turn to ask a question.

"Amazing!" Montague sitting in front of him lowered his voice and said to him in a low voice.

But more I admire his expectation.

Eve on the side lowered her voice: "Professor Snape should not embarrass you anymore, he has always favored the students of his own academy."

"For the sake of my good performance." Noah recorded the question just now, and looked at the student who was unfortunately called up by Snape.

This was a little witch with brown hair and brown eyes, and looked a little nervous. When asked by Snape, this little witch even trembled a little.

Noah looked away, showing no intention of helping.

But the other Hufflepuff students would not just sit idly by, Cedric raised his hand, trying to help his classmates from the same house.

Snape didn't change people immediately, but changed another question and continued to ask the little witch.

This time the little witch answered in a stumbling manner. Obviously, she had previewed it, but she was too nervous to answer normally.

Snape just gave up.

He didn't embarrass the group of young wizards any more, but asked them to write down the questions and answers with a pen, and then asked them to open the book and learn how to make the first potion.

Snape is a practical school, so after he explained the precautions for making this simple potion, he divided the students into groups of two to make this potion.

It's worth mentioning that Morgan was apparently the one who was left alone, and Snape taunted him for not even finding a companion, but inserted him into Montague and Warrington's group anyway.

Although Montague, Warrington and Morgan didn't get along well, they didn't have any objections to the professor's arrangement at the moment.

Noah is naturally in a group with Eve.

What they want to make is a simple potion that can cure boils (jie), even the name is "cure boil potion", as a primary potion, the method is naturally very simple.

But young wizards who are new to potions will inevitably be extravagant. For example, when cutting plant materials, the size is not correct, and some young wizards don't cut them at all, and throw them in in a hurry.

Snape shuttled between the tables and scolded all the little wizards in a circle, even Noah was not spared.

Well, Noah lost his mind for a little while, and it didn't take long, because he remembered that the "Popular Elimination Potion" in the book seemed to have very similar ingredients to the "Boil Healing Potion".This slight desertion was still keenly noticed by Snape.

After being reprimanded, Noah continued to make the potion in his hand honestly, and did not wander off again.

Eve obviously didn't like those tentacled slugs, and didn't want to touch them directly, but was severely scolded by Snape, and finally could only boil this disgusting thing with a stiff face.

But the accident happened suddenly at this time, the color of the potion in a crucible began to become bright, turned into a dark green, and then sprayed out like magma, scaring the little wizard at the table to run away immediately, and almost died. was splashed.

"Idiot!" Snape snarled, cleaning up the spilled liquid with a flick of his wand. "You're too hot!"

The ones being scolded were the other two little witches of Slytherin. They stood at the table helplessly being scolded, not daring to refute a word.

This is just the beginning. After Slytherin, Hufflepuff also had troubles one after another. Either they forgot to add porcupine quills or they didn't cook the slugs properly.

After one class, the little wizards reckoned that there was some kind of shadow on the Potions class, a terrifying shadow called "Professor Snape".

Not to mention them, even Noah felt Snape's roar lingering in his ears.
