Blessing Potion [Comprehensive British and American]

When Cyril finished the review and homework of Transfiguration, Professor Snape had already returned to his desk to continue grading papers.

The boy looked at the time and there was less than an hour left, so he obediently took out the potions textbook.The first Potions class was on Thursday, and I heard Senior Jin say that the headmaster was very demanding and would ask questions...

Asking questions, thinking that the whole sentence can only be understood: words like "Why", "What" and "How" are very confusing.

Someone who learned from the pain opened the textbook Chapter 1 and decided to read it carefully.

Then... a little dumbfounded...

Potions books were full of unpronounceable, unpronounceable words that were more complicated than gillyweed.

Are you sure this is a grade one textbook? !

In comparison, Mr. Ma's "Peter and Kate meet at the zoo to recognize animals", is it at the kindergarten level? ? ?

What was he fighting against at the time?

Cyril raised his head guiltily, and glanced at the professor who was working.Snape pulled a piece of crumpled parchment with a quill so hard that a huge "T" could be seen running through the text from a distance.

The boy shrank his neck, quietly opened the dictionary, and searched word by word resignedly.

First word: Aconite

ACO is very good, without this word, draw a circle first.

Next line, so Aconite is also known as: monkhood, wolfsbane? ? ?

I searched M and W in the high-level dictionary, but nothing...

Cyril took a deep breath,

Draw two more circles...

Half an hour later, after reading the whole article, I didn't remember much of the content, and the pages were full of circles...

"Can McLean please tell his poor professor what he's doing?"

The corners of Snape's eyes twitched a little as he looked at the boy who was scratching his head and frantically flipping through a thick book in front of him, and the horrible potions textbook under his hand that was filled with circles.

"Um, look it up in the dictionary, Professor."

"Dictionary?" Snape raised his tone slightly, holding out a hand full of suspicion.

Cyril looked at the big pale hand in front of him, and with a rare understanding, he handed over the dictionary in his hand.

Snape was tall, standing upright, with his shirt tucked into his suit pants, especially when Cyril sat and looked up, he felt that his two long legs seemed to be almost 2 meters tall.

The professor grabbed the dictionary handed over by the boy, glanced at the cover, and slowly opened it.

Although the action of drawing the book is aggressive and decisive, but the action of flipping the book is unusually careful and gentle. It can be seen that he is a book lover, or at least a careful person.

Cyril wanted to laugh, even though he was like this, he could calmly think about the professor's careful love of books, so he might be a different kind...

Snape flipped through a few pages, closed the dictionary again, and began to look carefully at the red and blue cover.

The whole process took less than a few minutes, but Cyril felt like he had been publicly executed for hours.

"You use this...to check potions?"

"..." Cyril didn't know how to answer, because Professor Snape's tone sounded a little weak.He had no choice but to stare back with a pair of innocent big gray-blue eyes.

"Muggle dictionary?" Snape asked, apparently not paying attention to the boy's silence.

"Forehead……"

Snape didn't say anything more, put the original dictionary back on the boy's desk, turned his head and left.

"..."

What to do, did he go to write a letter to his father...

Ru'er is dull, stubborn... Take it away, if you can't teach it, don't teach it anymore, the tuition fee will be refunded to you, and then you can ask to commit suicide.

Cyril went through the ten ways of being expelled in his mind, and wanted to shake his legs nervously.

It hasn't waited for the boy to reflect on what he has done too much or whether there is a return Hogwarts express now.Snape folded back again, still holding a book in his hand.

"Take it, from today on, memorize two pages a day, and I will spot-check at this time the next day."

Cyril tremblingly took the book handed over by Professor Snape.The book looked old, with yellowed pages, a worn and faded spine, and a drawing of a plant on the cover.

"ThousandsUseofHerbs" (thankfully not a sample dropout application case!)

The boy opened it carefully, and "Severus Snape" was written in the lower right corner of the title page, using some faded dark blue ink.

Unlike Snape's sharp and tough handwriting when he annotated Cyril's class schedule, this name was written very densely and small, even a little slanted.

I turned two more pages, and there were five or six nouns on each page of the book, next to which were sketched plant pictures, and there were two or three lines of explanations.It's a bit like the "Hand-painted Chinese Herbal Medicine" given by my mother.

Most of the blank space in the book is filled up, with fonts like the title page, full of dark and shallow, densely packed annotations.

It must have been Professor Snape's student book.

Cyril put the book flat on the table with great care, and opened the first page. Aconite was the second plant introduced.Looking at the corner of the book without creases, Cyril once again confirmed that Professor Snape really cherishes books.

"Thank you, Professor." The tone was sincere.

"Just borrowing from you. So McLean, if you want to learn English well, you can't always use Chinese to understand. Similarly, if you want to learn potions well, you need to read more basic books."

Snape's words were very clear, and Cyril understood everything and kept it in his heart.

With this book, Cyril found that many unfamiliar words can be solved easily. Most of these magical plants grow very interesting and have amazing functions.The "38th generation inheritor of Lin's traditional Chinese medicine" who was already very interested in herbal medicine was instantly addicted to it. Most of the explanations in English are not complicated, and the basic function books for beginners are always easy to understand.

And he couldn't help but look for Snape's extra notes after reading an explanation, most of them were some experience in using or picking, which couldn't be better.

Unknowingly, the clock pointed to 9:30, glanced at the boy who was reading with gusto, and Snape appropriately reminded him that it was time to go back to the dormitory.

"You can take the book home and read it," Snape said.

On the way back, Cyril, who was holding the book, was jumping while walking.

In this way, the English tutoring program is proceeding in an orderly manner.

When the whole family returned to China, the class had been in for two weeks, and when the plants memorized the letter starting with E, the full moon arrived.

Ping An has been extremely restless these two days. During class, he crawled around in the pocket of Cyril's wide robe, and it was only after he realized that Xiril remembered that Xiao Ao wanted to bask in the moon.
