A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

"Huh!" Snape snorted coldly and slapped the roll call on the podium.

The classroom atmosphere that had just relaxed immediately became tense and thin again.

"I know some of you think potions are nothing special." He walked down the stage step by step, his long black cloak dragging on the ground, moving like a snake, "Because this course requires almost no waving of a wand, no need to The great magic power cannot burst out with dazzling light and shocking sound effects.”

He looked at Yunieff, looked him in the eyes, and said, "So you sincerely despise this course because it doesn't bring out your strengths, Gorel?"

Yunieff didn't refute. Although he didn't look down on it, he did put the potion on the second level.

There are many things he has to do, all kinds of messes are placed in front of him, and the goal is out of reach.

Snape said, "I don't expect you to—"

"And you..." He glanced at everyone again, "You can truly understand the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance. You can't really understand the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels. The kind of miraculous magic that makes people feel fascinated and confused..."

"Most of you will even feel tortured in this class... But this is the basis for increasing your reputation, brewing glory, and even preventing death... I don't think you think you can do this easily. .”

The whole class fell silent.

They don't know whether it's glorious or not, but they already know whether it's easy or not.

However, Hermione moved almost to the edge of the chair and leaned forward, seeming to agree with Snape's reasoning.

"Griel." Snape still didn't let Yunivo go, "Of course you may have a very high level of potions, so you don't need to listen to my lessons at all. Maybe I should test you first to avoid misunderstandings. Of course now It’s not too late either.”

Yunieff felt a little embarrassed. No matter how mature his mind was, the limitations of his identity and strength prevented him from escaping from the position that Snape had arranged for him.

But he still had some confidence. Not to mention the formula of water of life and death, the source of fecal stones, and the difference between Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum wolfsbane, as long as it was content that appeared in the two textbooks, he would be able to answer it.

however--

"Grill, what would I get if I added moonstone powder to hellebore syrup?" Snape asked.

Yunieff was slightly startled.

Hellebore, of course, he knew, was a flowering plant, most of which were poisonous and could cause various symptoms ranging from dizziness to cardiac arrest.

But he didn't know what the hellebore syrup was used for.

As for moonstone powder, I don’t even know what it is.

Junifer glanced at Hermione, who had a similar reaction to him.

"This is not first grade content..."

"So you don't know, right?"

"Of course not."

"I thought you knew everything." Snape curled his lips, "Moonstone powder and hellebore syrup can be mixed together to prepare a demulcent. Making this potion must follow a strict order. So you know that you What went wrong?"

"You should do your Potions work in Potions class," Yunieff said.

"It seems that you are still very smart. I hope you can use this smartness in the right place." Snape returned to the podium and picked up the quill. "Another point will be deducted from Ravenclaw."

"Why?" Yunieff couldn't help but ask. Although he didn't care much about the Academy Cup, Snape's score was simply ridiculous.

Snape raised his head: "Don't you already know that you are wrong?"

Yunieff had nothing to say.

The Potions class continued, and although the questions asked were completely out of scope, the actual teaching was to instruct them to mix and prepare a simple potion to treat boils.

Perhaps as he said, things should be done at the right time.

Snape walked around the classroom watching them weigh dry nettles and crush snake fangs.

Although the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students were somewhat talented at brewing potions and had no major accidents, they were still caught with many minor problems.

Even Hermione was criticized for a slight flaw - when she was cooking slugs with tentacles, she let the tentacles touch the bottom of the pot, leaving a little burnt mark. This should have no effect on the potion's effect, but she was still criticized. For "carelessness".

Yunieff completed every step with extreme care, because he was undoubtedly being taken care of. Snape stared at his cauldron for a long time, giving him the feeling that he was preparing to deduct points at all times.

But in the end Snape walked away without saying a word.

Bonus points are absolutely impossible.

The potions class lasted until eleven o'clock. These short two hours made all the little wizards exhausted. On the one hand, Snape demanded full attention and on the other hand, he always interrupted (pointing out mistakes), which made them very angry. contradiction.

The moment the bell rang, everyone wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but they didn't dare to let it out.

It wasn't until Snape finished assigning a foot-long paper assignment and uttered the words "get out of class is over" that a stone fell in their hearts and they began to pack their things.

Yunieff stepped forward and asked: "Professor Snape, I have something to ask you. Do you have time?"

Snape frowned: "No time."

He didn't give Yunivo a chance to speak again, walked out of the classroom and walked away.

Yunieff sighed. He originally thought he could say a few words, but in the end he refused so bluntly.

After all, he was still weak in strength, so Snape didn't take him seriously.

I had no choice but to go have lunch.

At the dinner table, Hermione was summarizing what she had learned in Potions class. Snape's harshness did not affect her at all.

She even felt that this was the right thing to do: "The preparation of potions is indeed a precise science. It doesn't matter if the elementary potions are sloppy, but at the advanced stage, a small mistake may cause the whole pot of potions to go to waste. Snape The professor is being strict for our own good.”

"But the deduction of points is outrageous." Padma Patil, the little Indian witch sitting next to Hermione, complained, "We were at the bottom on the first day of school. I feel like we are already far away from the Academy Cup. .”

"It will be added back." Hermione said firmly, "The afternoon is a good opportunity. Professor Binns, who teaches the history of magic, is a wise man. As long as you perform well, you will definitely be able to get extra points."

"How did I hear he was a ghost?" Padma asked.

"He is a ghost, but not an ordinary one." Hermione said, "I have read about him in "Hogwarts: A School History". It is said that he was a ghost when the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded. He is very old, but he is knowledgeable, quick and clear in thinking, so he was invited to be the history of magic professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

"Then he is over 1000 years old?" Padma was a little surprised.
