HP Miss Paranoid and the Old Bat Professor

Hogwarts’ course schedule is still very tight. There are three herbal medicine classes a week in the greenhouse on the Hogwarts lawn; one astronomy class, students have to climb up to the tall astronomy tower every Wednesday night Counting the stars; there is also Charms class, the short Professor Flitwick needs to stand on top of a thick stack of books for the students to see him, An Nan heard that Professor Flitwick has pure elf blood; of course There is also a transformation class. Professor McGonagall's exquisite Agmanis, which transformed from a cat into a human, really shocked many young students. In the class, she demonstrated to the students how to easily transform a table into a pig. .But An Nan, as a freshman, their first transformation class task is how to turn a match into a silver needle. Such a simple transformation spell An Nan believes that most Slytherin wizards and children from aristocratic families It can be done easily, but it seems that no one is willing to show the strength of their family, and An Nan is even more unwilling to attract the attention of others.So in the end, it was Hermione of Gryffindor who made some changes to her matches first.

Of course, there is also Quirrell's Defense Against the Dark Arts class. There is no doubt that An Nan, who can hide from the big man behind Quirrell's head, chose to hide in the back corner of the classroom, pretending to be a turtle with a shrinking head. An Nan is always very good at things.

It finally arrived on Friday, and An Nan waited for her first Potions class.The potion science classroom is on the cellar floor of the castle. The dark and damp atmosphere permeates the whole air. The shelves near the wall are filled with all kinds of potion materials – the guts of bats, the poisonous needles of Billy bugs, roosters The mouth of the crocodile, the heart of the crocodile... An Nan noticed with great sympathy the pale faces and trembling shoulders of some timid little freshmen at the moment.

An Nan sat down next to Draco who was sitting in the first row, anxiously waiting for the moment when her dean opened the door and walked in.When the pointer pointed to 12, the door of the classroom was finally pushed open with a bang, and the black robe walked in with the cold wind, and Snape, who came behind the podium, was sharply examining every student like an eagle. student.

'You have come here to learn the exact science and exacting craft of potion-making.No silly wand waving here, so many of you probably won't believe this is magic.I don't expect you to really understand the beauty of the slow-simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You will not really understand the magical power of the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels ..I can teach you how to raise your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death.But it has to be that you are not one of the slobbery idiots I often meet. '

An Nan, who kept her head down, felt that she had to tightly hold the armrest of the chair to keep her body from shaking with excitement. She took a deep breath to calm her heart down, and at the same time blinked Blink to let the tears flow back as far as possible.

'Potter, what do I get if I add the powdered sun ranch root to a dilution of absinthe? ' Snape turned his attention to poor Harry.

'I don't know, sir' Harry replied truthfully.

'It seems fame isn't everything,' said Snape grimly, 'let's try again.Potter, if I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it? '

'I don't know, sir' Harry trailed off.

'I suppose you didn't turn over a single book before school started, did you, Potter?' Snape's voice was full of contempt.

"Potter, what's the difference between Aconitum acanthus and Aconitum aconitum?"

I don't know, sir." Harry's voice was barely audible, but he added afterwards, "But, I think, Hermione knows the answer, and it would be a shame not to ask her to." '

Snape stared at Harry steadfastly, and An Nan felt that if the gaze could be powerful, then Harry must be full of wounds at this time.But An Nan didn't stay as a bystander for a long time, because soon our Potions professor unexpectedly turned his attention to An Nan.

'Well, Miss Bennett, can you answer these three questions? '

Annan didn't know why Severus suddenly noticed her, and she didn't know why things didn't develop as she knew, the only thing she knew at this moment was why all the students were afraid of being with the Slytherin house. Long-term eye contact – those sharp eyes seem to be able to see through all the most intimate secrets in you.As far as An Nan was concerned, she was still afraid that she would be defeated under this gaze, and her eyes would turn red.

Snape wanted to ask this Miss Bennett on a temporary basis. He didn't know why he did this suddenly, but he believed that based on the Bennett family's knowledge of potion ingredients, these three questions were very important to this lady. It must have been very simple for Miss Bennett.And the fact is the same, An Nan's fluent answer gave a very standard answer.But what caught his attention even more was the look in Miss Bennett's eyes when he looked at him.

Snape had met many different people so far, some of them were considered familiar, but more people were either afraid of him, or despised him, and some hated him.But even though they only stared at each other for a few seconds, Snape still keenly captured the obvious fear of this Miss Bennett when facing him, which he could understand, after all, few students were not afraid of him, Perhaps this Miss Bennett was more timid; but Snape could still see the sadness hidden in her eyes and other complex emotions that were unfamiliar to him?

After the questioning at the beginning of class, An Nan's nerves were tense all morning.While she was worrying about whether she might have leaked something before, on the other hand, she had to put up all her energy to add four servings of fangs to the crucible, and then carefully observed whether the liquid in her crucible was heated to ten seconds.

As if just one nasty Potter wasn't enough of a headache for our Potions Master, that stupid Longbottom was making Snape's lungs explode.In an instant, the cauldrons of the group of Neville and Simmons exploded, and the hot liquid dripped down the table legs to the ground quickly, and many students' shoes were corroded by the potion.A few seconds later, all the students were standing in their chairs, except Neville, who had gotten into trouble - who was screaming in pain as he watched the reddish purple scabies grow rapidly on the skin splashed by the potion.

'You stupid boy! At this moment, Snape felt that this was the most troublesome class in his teaching history. With a wave of his wand, the ground contaminated by the potion instantly recovered clean, and then glared at the instigator who was full of pain at this time, 'I suppose you didn't take the cauldron off the fire when you added the porcupine quills? ! '

After such a serious farce from Neville, all the freshmen stared at their crucible with all their energy, and An Nan was even more so. After all, the Bennett family had a reputation as a crucible monster.Fortunately, to An Nan's relief, she couldn't help but not burst the cauldron in the end, and she also successfully completed her own scabies potion.

After class, all students are required to hand in their potion results, and when An Nan nervously handed over her blue potion to the podium, she nervously stared at it with her big lake-blue eyes. Looking at our Potions Professor, never let go of the slightest expression of the other party.

Out of the corner of Snape's eye, of course, he noticed the staring eyes of the opposite person, but he was unmoved.In all fairness, although the potion in front of him was not perfect, it was still qualified, but for some reason, he didn't want to make the person in front of him happy, so he simply squeezed out a sentence, "barely passed"

But to Snape's helplessness, the little freshman in front of him was not disappointed when he heard his words, but heaved a sigh of relief, with a big smile on his face, "Thank you, Professor!" '

Looking at the figure of Miss Bennett leaving briskly, Snape couldn't help but wonder how low the child's expectations for his Potions results were.But Snape had to admit that he was a little taken aback, after all he'd heard about the Bennetts' terrible talent for potions, and he'd spent the whole class staring at the kid in case she Blow up the whole class.But soon he found that although An Nan obviously lacked the outstanding rigor to become a potion master, it was not too bad, at least he could see that she memorized every material and step in the heart.Snape thought again of what Sprout had said to him at lunch today:

'Oh, Severus, I have to say, Miss Bennett is really talented in herbalism, just like her parents' Professor Sprout's round face was covered with With an excited smile, 'Severus, can I borrow a favor from you?I'm growing some molly flowers and just need a helper to help me tend them.Can I ask Miss Bennett to be my teaching assistant in herbal medicine? '

Thinking of this, Snape closed his lesson plan and decided to find some time to ask this Miss Bennett's opinion.But he didn't expect that when he walked out of the classroom door, he heard the voice that made him very annoying.

"Annan, I'm sorry." Harry didn't know where he summoned up the courage to stop Annan who was about to walk out of the cellar, "I'm Harry, we met at King's Cross Station"

'Yes, Harry, I remember you' An Nan replied politely.

"Um, I just want to say, thank you to your family for helping me that day, otherwise I would not have been able to find the entrance to the Hogwarts Express." Harry's ears were red, and he only thought of Such a lame excuse.

But this sounds untenable to Annan, after all, she knew that even if she didn't show up at that time, the Weasleys would help Harry, "You're welcome, I'm sure other people will also help Harry." will help you'

Harry wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a gloomy voice,

"Potter, for disrupting order in the corridor, ten points will be deducted from Gryffindor." Snape stared at Potter's face that he hated so much, and then changed the subject and said to Annan, "Miss Bennett, I office now'
