Science students at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Potions Lesson

Classes at Hogwarts were easy, at least for Elios.

He had previewed most of them at home, and with his help, Slytherin's scores soared. It was like the First Emperor touching the wires - winning.

Slytherin's excellence has also led to competition from other colleges. Coupled with the widespread rumors in the school that exchange students are selected through examinations, the library is full of vitality and everything is competing.

All professors like this phenomenon of being in the library at the beginning of the semester instead of cramming before exams.

They often "accidentally" pass by the library, giving points to several students, making the Hogwarts library even more full.

The advantages of students from the Muggle society are clearly demonstrated at this moment. They can always occupy seats in advance, and Elios and his party also benefit from them.

First-year students from different colleges mingle quickly.

Among them are Hermione, Justin, Kevin, etc. who come from Muggle society, as well as Black, Malfoy, Parkinson, Macmillan, Longbottom, and Goyle who are from pure-blood families. And this small group Still expanding.

Such a large group of people naturally attracted the attention of Mrs. Pince, who often waved a feather duster to stop the children's illegal behavior.After experiencing Mrs. Pince's angry yells several times, their relationship became very good in just a few days.

The topic of discussion gradually shifted from magic to all aspects of daily life.

For example: Kevin was troubled by Ravenclaw's strange question, "What is the nature of magic?" They searched for the answer together for several days before they managed to get through it.

Everyone was also worried about Neville and Gregory. With everyone's help, the two young children finally kept up with the teaching progress at Hogwarts.

During a casual chat, Elios accidentally discovered that several marrow wizards had quite good foundations in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Needless to say, Hermione and Justin, one of them is a well-known academic, and the other was going to Eton College. Unexpectedly, Kevin, who comes from a poor family, is also a problem solver.

Elios was ecstatic. Since the photometer was successfully developed, they turned their attention to mass spectrometry, trying to separate and detect substances based on the mass of atoms and molecules.

However, progress is quite slow. After all, there are still traces of absorbance, and mass spectrometry is completely starting from scratch. It is still unknown whether it is feasible.

Professor Snape and George were both studying chemistry on their own, and they frequently used confusion spells to attend classes at Cambridge.

Since the beginning of the school year, the professor has given most of the Potions classes to George, and he is only responsible for the senior students.

He is very strict with his students, and any mistakes will be regarded as a waste of time by him and will result in a scolding.Perhaps because he usually spends more time with Slytherin, instead of being partial to them, he is more harsh towards them.

At the same time, after he discovered that Elios and Draco were comfortable with the Hogwarts courses, he assigned them an additional [-] million points of chemistry courses.

Elios also became increasingly eager to have a team that was both proficient in science and magic.

Now that hope is in front of him, he must consider whether this may be his only chance at this time.

He made a prompt decision and ordered several sets of science textbooks. On Friday morning, before the first Potions class, they were delivered to the Slytherin table by owl.

After Professor Snape's class changes, all students took the first Potions class together. For this reason, Professor McGonagall adjusted the class schedule for a long time.

All the freshmen are looking forward to this Potions class. They have been talking about it since Thursday, discussing the content of this class.

Who at Hogwarts is looking forward to this class the most?Definitely Ron Weasley.

Potions class has been overhauled this year, and the Weasleys have had to buy new books and new work robes for all the children.With new clothes and new books, even if Ron didn't like reading, he was still looking forward to it.

On Friday morning, he and his brothers asked about Potions class. Percy pondered for a while and gave it a very high evaluation.

"Potions is very interesting. Mr. Black is responsible for teaching the lower grades of Potions. He is the best teacher in Hogwarts. He is funny and treats all students equally."

Harry was relieved to hear that it was not Snape. As early as the sorting ceremony, he felt that the professor did not like him.

Ron was the complete opposite. His expression was uglier than eating booger-flavored beans. He subconsciously looked at the Slytherin table.

"What's his relationship with that Black?"

"Obviously a relative, little Ronnie." I don't know if it was George or Fred who received it immediately.

"Mr. Black is the most interesting teacher at Hogwarts. He graduated from Durmstrang, which is where the exchange students go," another continued.

The auditorium suddenly became quiet, and everyone raised their ears, waiting for them to continue.

The twins obviously knew what they were waiting for, but they deliberately changed the subject and kept it secret.

"Potions is very interesting. Teacher Black will teach you many things, such as..."

"George!" Ron interrupted.

"I'm Fred, Ronnie."

"Okay, Fred, why did he come to Hogwarts to teach when he was born in Durmstrang? I heard that Durmstrang always thought we were aliens."

"I lied to you, Ronny, I'm George." The twins burst into laughter, and Ron blushed angrily and yelled at them.

"Ron, although Durmstrang only accepts pure-blood wizards, it has never considered us to be aliens. This year, they even exchanged students with us." Percy continued what he just said.

"Professor Snape is busy studying potions, so he asked Mr. Black to teach. It's as simple as that."

"There is also a rumor that Mr. Black's coming to Hogwarts is related to his wife, who is a marrow wizard." Fred looked mysterious and lowered his voice.

Now the little wizards are even more excited. Rumors, love, pure-blood families, and hemp wizards, these elements that will never go out of style no matter how long they are gathered together, arouse everyone's interest.

The little wizards craned their necks one by one, looking at the long Gryffindor table, silently urging him to speak faster. Many turned their condemning eyes to Elios, clearly accusing the Black family of beating up the mandarin ducks.

"Fred!" Percy naturally noticed this, and he was furious, "Don't talk about the professor behind his back. Now, get out of class."

Fred shrugged nonchalantly, bowed to everyone with a playful smile, indicating that today's story was over, and ran out with George making faces.

"Did Cousin George really marry a marrow wizard?" Pansy asked Elios eagerly.Many people focused on them again.

Draco noticed this and stopped her sternly, "Pansy! This is Black's family matter!"

"It doesn't matter. Cousin Louisa is indeed a hemp wizard, but she is one of the most outstanding wizards I have ever seen. I think she must be the best student at Beauxbatons. Cousin George fell in love with her at first sight." Eli Oss replied slowly.

"But I suggest you don't ask him these things. He will just keep showing off to you how extraordinary Louisa is. Believe me, no one can stand his showing off."

After breakfast, the group headed to the potions classroom.Along the way, Elios had to dodge fun spells that appeared everywhere.

Thanks to these fun charms, he finally started his training plan after dinner. He didn't want to go to class with a bunch of weird decorations.

The classroom with the Seamless Stretching Charm can easily accommodate all the students. The Potions classroom is a little colder than the main building, but this does not affect the enthusiasm of the little wizards. They are talking in low voices. It is obvious that everyone is looking forward to this class.

There was nothing new in George's opening statement. He just copied it.

Snape's exact words.

The little wizards all sat up straight, trying to prove that they were not fools.

George waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax.

"But I believe that those who come to Hogwarts are not fools. Each of you has one ten thousandth of your talent. From this point of view, you are all geniuses."

The little wizards held up their chests, and their faces were filled with pride.

Ron blushed. He had never received such a straightforward compliment. He praised George in a low voice. Harry ignored him. He was busy writing down everything George said, but he could say it. too fast.

"Okay, I want to say a few things." He waved his wand gently, and a copy of the laboratory safety guidelines appeared in front of everyone.

"The first thing is to dress." He glanced at all the students. Only a few students were wearing white work robes. He nodded happily at them.

Ron was even happier. He straightened up and wanted everyone to see his new work robe.

"These work robes are very different from the past. The style has been modified and changed to white. As long as you are in Potions class, you must wear work robes. This is the first time and it will not be the case next time."

His expression was quite serious.

"It is not ordinary clothes, it is a barrier to protect you. It is attached with a variety of defensive magic. If dangerous medicines are splashed on the body, it will take effect immediately. Even if the magic fails, White can easily detect this situation."

"Mr. Potter?"

Harry stopped writing, raised his head, and found that everyone was looking at him, "I..."

George glanced at his notes, "Taking notes is a good habit and Gryffindor will earn two points for that."

Harry never thought he would get bonus points, and he now believed Weasley's words that Mr. Black was the best teacher at Hogwarts.

"Mr. Potter, why are the work robes white?"

Harry faltered, hating himself for not being able to remember faster. "I guess it's because white looks better?"

"Unfortunately, one point will be deducted from Gryffindor. Mr. Potter, you should also pay attention to the method of taking notes." He looked at Hermione next to him and nodded approvingly. He picked up the notes and showed them to them.

"You can learn how to take notes from this lady. Elios, please answer."

Elios had no choice but to serve as a demonstration for George. He stood up, repeated the answer, and added.

"Compared with traditional work robes, it looks a little weird, but it actually has many advantages. The narrower sleeves facilitate movement, and the tightened cuffs will prevent the medicine from coming into contact with the skin. In addition, it has a constant temperature charm..."

George nodded approvingly and explained other contents of the code to them in detail, such as: standardized operations, fire safety, accident handling measures, etc., and then asked them to recite the code.

Next, he explained some common spells in detail and asked them to practice how to deal with various accidents.

Harry found that Teacher Black added points more frequently, but received very few points. At the same time, he was more strict with Slytherin. He did not add points to Elios and Draco's many perfect answers.

It doesn't matter if I get a few points, Harry thought happily, what's important is that I won points for Gryffindor!

At the end of the class, there was a free questioning session. George was almost overwhelmed by Ravenclaw's questions. Hermione also found every opportunity to ask a long list of questions, and George answered them one by one.

Walking out of the Potions classroom, everyone was talking about this unique course, and their faces were filled with excitement.

In addition to Elios and Draco, they were also called by George to assess potions and chemistry. After the assessment, George asked the two of them to help process potion materials and prepare potions.

They were not let go by George until before dinner. As soon as the two returned to the dormitory, they fell into sleep from exhaustion.
