days at Hogwarts

Chapter 17 The opening scene of Potions class

"Harry Potter."

Professor Snape was a little dazed when he pronounced the name.

"Yes!" Harry replied.

Professor Snape looked into those eyes, breathing faster.

The green ones are hidden behind the glasses, reflecting the faint light in the basement, like the blue light reflected on the broken glass in the darkness of night.

It was so similar, for a moment it seemed that Lily was really looking at him.How much he wanted to apologize to her. When he was young, he was always inferior and conceited. He blurted out some words when he was angry. Before he could figure out how to explain his unintentional words, the two drifted away. People with low self-esteem and conceit go to the other extreme.

Maybe there was still a chance before that, he wanted to prove himself, he wanted to show those people what kind of talent he possessed, but in the end he pushed her into the abyss with his own hands, life is so fragile and irreversible, he is willing to use his own death In exchange for Lily, it's just that some people never come back.

This world is so boring, darkness is the eternal theme, but you can't die easily, you have to pay for your sins, and some people have to pay the price...

Snape helped the table and looked at the next person on the list.

Only Loren noticed something strange about Professor Snape.

When Loren's name was said, Snape also gave him a deep look.

This made Loren guess that Dumbledore should have communicated with the professors about the mouse spotted. It is impossible for a dark wizard in the school not to inform the professors.

After counting the students, Professor Snape introduced them to the great subject of potions as usual.

"In my class, no wands are waved, no spells are said." Snape began a low aria.

"Personally, I don't expect some of you to be able to grasp the techniques and mysteries of potions."

"However, for the very few talented people, I can teach you how to confuse people's minds and imprison people's senses."

"I can teach you how to pot fame, brew honor, and even live forever."

I don't know if Professor Snape said it to the freshmen every year, but the same words that Snape recited are fascinating.

Harry next to him wrote these down in his notebook. He felt that the professor's attitude was not very friendly, but he still wrote down what he said.

Snape also noticed that Harry was writing and drawing below, with his head down, and his maverick appearance was somewhat similar to James, and a sense of irritability came to his heart:

"Perhaps, some people at Hogwarts feel confident because they are famous."

"I think you don't need to listen carefully!" The aria made some waves here.

"Potter! Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered daffodil root to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape asked suddenly.

Harry was a little flustered, and looked at Ron, who was also stunned.

The Slytherins watched the scene gloating that it was their Head, sure to deal with Gryffindor.On the other hand, the little lions are all a bit at a loss. Do we have to answer questions in the first lesson?

Hermione was so excited to raise her hands that she almost got "I know this question! Ask me!" printed on her face.

Harry had to tell the truth: "I don't know, sir."

Snape looked at him, as if he wanted to see something from Harry's body: "It seems that fame doesn't mean everything. Let's change the question, if we want to find bezoar, where should we start?"

Hermione raised her arms high in the air.

Harry glanced at the person next to him, "I don't know, sir."

Snape went on to ask, "So what's the difference between Chamaysma aconitum and Aconite acanthus?"

Loren and Ron looked at Harry with pity on their faces. Hermione wanted to stand up and answer, but she suppressed the urge and raised her hands straight without leaving the stool.

Harry was a little helpless, but he also understood that he was embarrassing himself, "I don't know, sir." His tone became lighter, he couldn't answer anyway, so he opened his mouth.

"So, it's a pity, in name only, isn't it, Mr. Potter." Snape didn't sound regretful at all, but felt relieved.

Harry was a little annoyed, and his words were stinging: "Obviously Hermione knows the answer, it's a pity not to let her answer."

Several students laughed out loud.

Snape glanced at them and said softly, "Quiet."

The students all sensed a substantive coercion, and their laughter was suppressed.

Hermione was still struggling to raise her hand, and Snape walked in front of her, and the sound of footsteps made the classroom quieter, "Put your hands down, silly girl!"

Hermione was a little disappointed, but still put down her raised hand.

At this point Snape turned his gaze to Loren, staring into his eyes, "Some people have a little bit of talent and are just as self-righteous."

Dumbledore told him about Loren's strange eyes. In order to solve the Animagus who had been hiding in the Weasley's house for more than ten years, Snape prepared some potions, and he worked late into the night these few nights.

Loren was confused, why did you shoot at me, my eyes are not green.

"Loren Morgan, you answer these questions."

Loren knew that Professor Snape would give Harry a hard time in the first Potions class, but he couldn't remember exactly what questions he asked, so he couldn't tell Harry the answer in advance.But before the start of school, for alchemy and wolfbane potion, Loren read the textbooks of potions class by heart, and memorized all the knowledge points.

"Narcissus root powder and wormwood can be combined to make a powerful sleeping pill - take the water of life and death."

"Bezoar can be found in the stomach of cows."

"Aconitum acanthus and Aconitum chamaejasma are the same plant, collectively referred to as aconitum."

Loren answered one by one, these are indeed not advanced knowledge.

Snape didn't succeed, he stopped talking about Loren, he turned his head and scolded the other students: "Why don't you write them all down?"

Then the sound of quill writing on parchment rustled in the classroom.

Amidst the commotion, Snape said, "Potter contradicted the teacher, and Gryffindor deducted 5 points for this."

A few little lions curled their lips, you didn't add anything to answer the question.

Loren didn't have any ideas. When he came out to hang out, he had to talk about his background and influence, and the deduction of points would not affect the Academy Cup.
