[Comprehensive] Those years when I memorized the Analects of Confucius

Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.

"So, does this prove that in the hypnotic potion, among the three materials of nettle, wormwood and daffodil petals, there is no balance between herbs?"

Snape was really surprised now.

The preparation of hypnotic potions is the content of second-year potions. The second preparation method Kong Yun mentioned was not included in the Hogwarts potions textbook because of its own side effects. Some of the principles involved in the two production methods are only formally learned in third-year potions.

It is not a big deal to preview the high-grade potions textbooks in advance, and it is not a surprising thing to find a second formula in an extracurricular book. Most serious students can almost do this.

What really surprised Snape was that Kong Yun not only achieved the above two points, he even put into practice in order to compare the two hypnotic potions made of different materials more accurately!

If it was a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw who did this, Snape might not think it was a big deal, but at most he would appreciate that not all the students in this class were idiots.But... Hufflepuff?

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

Habitually stabbed his lips, but it is undeniable that Snape is in a good mood at the moment, a talented student who respects teachers is still very likable - especially when he corrects the demon After the medicine homework was changed, there were some doubts about the student's IQ.

"It's not too stupid." Snape said lightly, maybe only Slytherin students will understand, for the Slytherin headmaster, this is the best that a non-Slytherin student can get. evaluated. "Then have you ever wondered why the second production method is not included in the teaching materials?"

"why?"

The Potions professor snorted coldly, but didn't answer the question. He stared closely at the dazed young man 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 of the herbs to counteract the toxicity of the hypnotic potion."

"Stupid!" Snape glared at him, and reprimanded unceremoniously: "The potion production needs to consider not only the effect, but also the cost. If there is already a hypnotic formula without side effects, then improve it What's the point of a hypnotic formula?"

Kong Yun was taken aback.

His comprehension is not bad. When Snape mentioned this, Kong Yun immediately understood what he meant, but...he hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively: "Professor Snape, what do you mean?" Do you mean... let those who sleep peacefully sleep peacefully, and those who hypnotize hypnotize belong to hypnosis?"

Snape snorted nonchalantly, noncommittal.

Indeed, from the production point of view, the hypnotic potion with lavender as the main body has milder medicinal properties and is more suitable for people who have trouble sleeping. It is best called "sleeping potion".

As for the hypnotic potions with daffodil petals, nettles and wormwood as the main body, their toxicity has not been suppressed, but because the potion production process has been further strengthened, in the case of "sleeping potions".Instead of trying to counteract the toxicity of the medicine, it is better to expand the toxicity and turn it into a real "hypnotizer" for consciousness!

What Kong Yun didn't know was that during the time he lowered his head to think, his Potions Master was staring at him closely - with a close inspection look.

In fact, Snape couldn't tell what mood he was in right now.

It's rare to meet a student who is a bit talented in Potions, but unfortunately it's not a Slytherin... Even a Ravenclaw is better than a Hufflepuff.

Just like magic is also divided into ordinary magic and black magic, there are also various types of potions, which are therapeutic, and of course dangerous and extremely offensive.But just like Gryffindor and Hufflepuff usually dislike black magic, people in the two colleges also don't accept this kind of potion that is only born to hurt others, let alone use it. Say active research.

Instead, Slytherin and Ravenclaw, one obsessed with power and the other with knowledge, accept this well.

Although Hufflepuff is fine, but thinking about it this way, I always feel a little indescribable... regrettable.

Just when Snape was ready to receive a standard Hufflepuff answer - the boy suddenly stood up straight and bowed seriously to him.

"Thank you very much for your guidance." Kong Yun said solemnly: "I understand what you mean."

Snape's heart moved slightly, but there was no expression on his face: "Tell me."

"What I'm thinking of is, can we consider adding ingredients like lovage or scurvy?" Kong Yun said naturally: "Both lovage and scurvy have the effect of confusing the brain, I think, If you mix it into a hypnotic potion, there may be unexpected gains, but it’s not certain.”

Having said that, the young man paused for a moment, his eyes lit up with a look of expectation: "If, I mean——when I make the finished product, can Professor Snape help me take a look?"

It was rare for someone to look at him with such eyes, and Snape couldn't help being a little awkward. He subconsciously wanted to lower his face and reprimand him, and widen the invisible distance to the extent he was used to. Inexplicably unable to speak out.

"I don't have time to see what crap you make."

The Potions professor's voice was still cold, but the junior Hufflepuff seemed to understand some meaning of agreement from it. He smiled all of a sudden, and said firmly, "I won't let you down!"

The door of the office closed silently, and the surrounding environment fell into silence again. Snape returned to the desk alone, and continued to correct his homework. He glanced at the messy content of the thesis, and his eyes glanced at the name column——

Harry Potter.

This realization made the corners of the potions professor's lips bend even deeper, he raised his eyebrows in a happy mood, and wrote a bright red "T" without hesitation.

……

Holding the idea that "Professor Snape is really good", Kong Yun happily walked out of the office belonging to the Potions professor.Perhaps because of the proximity to the Slytherin common room, he saw several students with green snake badges on their chests not far from the office door.

"Why are Hufflepuffs here? Isn't their lounge up there?"

"Wait, I remember... the direction he came from was not only Professor Snape's office? He didn't just come out of Professor Snape's office, did he?"

"Really? Is anyone still able to escape from Professor Snape's office alive?"

"What's the matter, it's true or not, just ask him and you'll know it?"

The Slytherins didn't deliberately lower their voices. Kong Yun could easily hear their discussions. He frowned slightly. Although he wasn't used to always being the focus of other people's conversations like this, he did There was nothing to say, so he simply pretended not to hear it, and walked down the stairs to the Hufflepuff common room.

He intends to turn a blind eye, but some people are obviously unwilling to just let him go.

"Hey, I'm talking about you—I'm asking you something!"

He could hear the voice of an unknown Slytherin behind him, speaking in the same tone as those who whispered about him in private - condescending, and unabashedly disdainful.

In the Slytherin dormitory, Draco put down the letter he had been reading for a long time, and lowered his head slightly. He seemed to be staring at the letter on the table, or he seemed to be simply looking at something else through the letter. His expression was inexplicable.

Being in Hogwarts, Draco didn't have any chance or way to really find out Kong Yun's identity, but in the name of curiosity, asking his father to investigate by the way was just a matter of words.

The results of the investigation went smoothly, because whether it was the Kong family or the Chinese magic world, although they were low-key and concealed, they did not intend to hide from the world deliberately, and the final result did not seem to be much different from what he had guessed.

At the very beginning, Draco never understood why this Hufflepuff from the East could be as calm as water and as unmoved as a mountain in the face of those slanders from gossip and gossip.For a child who is only in his early 12s, can he really not care about the opinions of outsiders?

Many Hogwarts students interpreted Kong Yun's gentle retreat as a proof of cowardice and cowardice, not daring to cause trouble.Draco felt the same at first, but after what happened with Raymond, he began to vaguely realize that this little wizard from the East was not as harmless as he seemed.

Kong Yun is indeed very simple.

But this kind of simplicity is not the kind of simplicity that doesn't understand the world. He has a gentle and friendly disposition, he doesn't like to argue with others, and it seems that others' private slander and insult have never made him angry.

Draco didn't understand why at first, but now he can vaguely understand Kong Yun's thoughts.

It's not that he doesn't care, but the family education he received since he was a child has given him humility and tolerance far beyond his peers. Similarly, it is the confidence from his family and his own strength that makes him uninterested and short-sighted. Do more pestering.

This is the real reason why Kong Yun just laughed it off in the face of other people's ridicule and belittling.

If you were an eagle soaring in the sky, would you care about the clamor of a reptile under your feet?

The junior Hufflepuff stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and looked at the Slytherin whom he couldn't name, as if he didn't realize the maliciousness in the other party's words, the boy still had a slight smile on his face, and his tone was as gentle as usual: "Yes What's the matter?"
