I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

The subscription rate is insufficient, and the waiting time or re-subscription can be seen. During the time when he was frowning and reflecting, low sneers began to sound from all around.

Some people sneered, and some people didn't care.Hufflepuff is still a Hufflepuff, even though she has been bullied to the extreme, she still looks so soft and easy to pinch.

Some people's eyes flashed slightly and they took a step back calmly.

It is true that most Hufflepuffs are "timid and afraid of getting into trouble", but at this point, even the clay figures should have a temper. If they are really afraid of conflict with Slytherin, then why is this junior Hufflepuff in front of him? Chipachi, his eyes are calm and clear, without any trace of panic.

"Look, let me just tell you. It's not that troublesome." The Slytherin who stopped Kong Yun turned around and said to his friend with a smile: "If you want to know, just ask. Anyway, it doesn't matter. Hufflepuffs and Chinese are both notoriously cowardly and afraid of getting into trouble."

At this point, senior Slytherin paused.

The suddenly quiet surroundings and the strange expressions from his friends made him keenly aware that something was wrong. He subconsciously turned around and unexpectedly saw the Hufflepuff opposite him suddenly cool down.

Slytherin's usual cautious mentality made him slightly wary, but mostly he didn't care how many spells of practical significance a second-year guy could learn, let alone a Hufflepuff.

This made him smile playfully.

Are you indifferent to slander and prejudice against yourself, but intolerant of any insult against your own institution and country?

"Why, am I right?" With full malice, the senior Slytherin said unscrupulously: "Speaking of which, you Chinese people are indeed very suitable for Hufflepuff. You are just as cowardly and incompetent, and you are groveling."

He didn't finish his sentence.

No matter how he despises the opponent in front of him, he still has a sense of vigilance in his heart. At this moment, he is speaking in an understatement that is enough to make people lose their minds, while holding the wand in his sleeve robe tightly. He even takes the time to I thought for a while whether there was any amazingly powerful magic in the East.

But what he never expected was that the other party had no intention of using magic at all.

Kong Yun didn't know what grade the Slytherin in front of him was.

Maybe third grade, or fourth grade, but it doesn't actually matter. The other party must have more spells than him. From his own point of view, in order to minimize the negative impact of the matter itself, and all To truly teach the opponent a lesson, Kong Yun did not intend to use any offensive spells from the beginning.

In the inherent impression of the world, many people seem to have some misunderstandings about Confucianism and military strategists: for example, Confucianists are only good at magic and are delicate and frail scholars, or military strategists are a group of people with strong limbs and simple minds who do not read books or learn magic. Rough guy.

But this is actually a very ridiculous prejudice.

Perhaps the early Confucians and military strategists were indeed as distinct as the civil servants and generals in the past, but as time went by, the two families began to consciously absorb the advantages of each other. Confucians would also practice magic and focus on physical fitness.In addition to specializing in physical skills and military arts, military strategists also do not lack the understanding and mastery of magic.

In Fengshen Hall, fighting skills is one of the important major courses. Although Kong Yun has not officially taken a class in Fengshen Hall, even the preparatory class of Fengshen Hall has this course.

By the way, during the final exam of the fighting class last year, Teacher Han Xin gave him a grade of A:

Kong Yun moved quickly.

The distance between the two people was less than two meters, but at this moment, in the blink of an eye, Kong Yun instantly closed this tiny distance to within a stone's throw. The senior Slytherin quickly raised his wand, He opened his mouth and was about to recite the incantation. The next second, with a crisp "click" sound, a sharp pain quickly came from the knuckles of the fingers holding the wand tightly.

The joints of his right hand were instantly dislocated, and he could no longer hold the wand tightly and fell to the ground with a clatter that could be heard clearly in the dead silence of the basement.

Many Slytherins who had originally thought of watching the show changed their expressions.

For most wizards, the wand is their most important weapon. If the wand is lost in battle, the consequences will be self-evident. But for the Slytherins present, compared to the senior Slytherins, Their safety, what they care more about is if they are faced with this situation on the field, can they react in time and counterattack?

And this is just the beginning.

Slytherin, who had lost his wand, simply smashed the jar and punched the thin boy directly. However, the latter only turned slightly to avoid the opponent's unorganized punch, and then he bullied him. Then, with one hand, he grabbed the opponent's right hand that had lost the ability to move, and with the other hand, he simultaneously grabbed the left hand that still had strength left, and held it firmly behind his back.

Compared to the senior Slytherin's crude retaliation, which was like a child fighting, the boy's movements were obviously more crisp and neat, and even had a sense of fluidity.

Without waiting for the opponent to struggle, Kong Yun kicked him directly in the calf. The sudden loss of strength from the leg and the natural downward pressure when his hands were clasped made Slytherin unsteady on his feet and he stumbled before being pinned down. Got to kneel down.

There was deathly silence all around, but the person who caused all this had no expression on his face. Kong Yun lowered his head and said calmly: "Say it again."

No one speaks.

The boy who was controlled and forced to kneel on the ground gritted his teeth and his cheeks turned red. He wanted to break free from the other party's restraints, but the force pressing on his hands was like a heavy shackle, making him unable to move.

 

When Draco came over after getting the news, he happened to see this scene.

It had to be said that this Hufflepuff was far smarter than he thought.

Even fights are divided into degrees in the eyes of professors. If using learned or unknown magic to hurt classmates is a more serious one, then a fight with fists and kicks can be a simple one. It's down to conflicts between students.

What is the most painful thing for a Slytherin?

The physical pain was not unbearable. What really embarrassed the other party was that he was forced to kneel in front of his familiar Slytherin classmates by Hufflepuff, who was a few years below him.Compared with the physical pain, this kind of mental blow is the most fatal.

With the smallest punishment, he achieved the greatest power-building effect. Considering his aboveboard methods and the reasons for his anger, with Dumbledore's character, maybe not only will he not be wary of this, but he will appreciate it more.

On the contrary, this senior Slytherin may not have an easy life in the academy from now on.Draco thought casually.

He knew too well that this academy was accustomed to downplaying the weak and flattering the high, and following the trend.

Although it is not certain whether Kong Yun did it intentionally or unintentionally, it is undeniable that he did what he could do in the current situation. The best choice was probably nothing more than hitting the snake seven inches away.

I don't know why, but looking at the thin but determined silhouette of the young man in the crowd, Draco suddenly remembered a metaphor that made him feel a little disgusted, but was indeed often used to describe Chinese people.

Like a sleeping lion.

"So, does this prove that there is no balance between the herbs in the hypnotic potion, nettles, mugwort and narcissus petals?"

Snape was really surprised now.

The preparation of hypnotic potions is the content of second-year potions. The second production method mentioned by Kong Yun is not included in the Hogwarts potions textbook because of its side effects. Some of the principles involved in the two production methods are content that only third-year Potions students can formally learn.

It is nothing to preview the high-grade potions textbook in advance, and it is nothing surprising to find the second formula in extracurricular books. Most students who study seriously can almost do this.

What really surprised Snape was that Kong Yun not only accomplished the above two points, he even put into practice in order to more accurately compare two hypnotic potions with different production materials.

If the person who did this was a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw, Snape might think it was okay. At most, he had a general idea that not all students in this class were idiots.But Hufflepuff

"When did Hufflepuff, who has always been friendly, start experimenting with living animals?"

He made a habitual sarcastic comment, but it was undeniable that Snape was in a good mood at the moment. A talented student who respected his teachers was still very likable, especially when he was correcting potions homework. , after changing it to the point where I had some doubts about the students’ IQ.

"It's not too stupid." Snape said lightly. Perhaps only Slytherin students would understand that for Dean Slytherin, this is the best that a non-Slytherin student can get. Rated. "Then have you ever thought about why the second production method is not included in the textbook?"

"why"

The Potions Professor snorted coldly and did not answer the question. He stared closely at the confused boy in front of him and unexpectedly asked a question: "If you were asked to improve this formula, how would you change it?"

This question is not difficult to answer. Kong Yun said without hesitation: "Use the balance between herbs to offset the toxicity of hypnotic drugs."

"Stupid" Snape glared at him and reprimanded him unceremoniously: "When making potions, you need to consider not only the effect, but also the cost. When there is already a hypnotic formula without side effects, how can we improve it again?" A hypnotic formula, what’s the point?”

Kong Yun was stunned.

His understanding was not bad. When Snape mentioned this, Kong Yun immediately understood what he meant. However, he hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Professor Snape, what do you mean? Let those who are sleeping return to sleep, and those who are hypnotized return to hypnosis?”

Snape snorted, noncommittal.

Indeed, from a production point of view, lavender-based hypnotic potions are milder and more suitable for people who have difficulty sleeping. It is best to call them "sleeping pills".

The toxicity of the hypnotic potion, which is based on narcissus petals, nettles and mugwort, has not been suppressed. Instead, the potion making process has been further strengthened, even though there is already a "sleeping agent".Rather than finding ways to counteract the toxicity of the drug, it is better to expand its toxicity and turn it into a true "hypnotic agent" for consciousness.

What Kong Yun didn't know was that while he was lowering his head and thinking, his potion professor was staring at him closely with a look that was close to scrutiny.

In fact, Snape couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

It's rare to meet a student with some talent in potions. It's a pity that even if he is not a Slytherin, even a Ravenclaw is better than a Hufflepuff.

Just like magic is divided into ordinary magic and dark magic, there are also many types of potions, some are therapeutic, and of course there are also dangerous and extremely offensive ones.But just like Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are generally averse to dark magic, people in the two houses are also not very accepting of this kind of potion that is only designed to harm others, let alone He said he took the initiative to research it.
