I am the Potions teacher for all students, not yours alone.And those boring relationship problems, I am not a psychological counselor, you should ask your dean.Well, it's time for you to go, how many times do you want me to say this again? "

"Yes, Professor." Dolores lowered her still wet eyes, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Severus waved his hand impatiently: "Come on, don't bother me after you find out!"

"Goodbye, Professor." Dolores quickly put the dried lavender given by Sprout on his desk, then stepped back step by step to the door, giving him a last look with nostalgia: "Also, good night. "

Flattery Oil ([-])

Dolores would undoubtedly take seriously the task assigned by Severus himself.After leaving school, she attended Cedric's funeral with her father, Myron, and devoted herself to the research of the Emerald Potion.Putting the emerald green liquid on the desk, she spent more than a month writing a thick stack of parchment, which could almost be published as a small academic monograph.

For the rest of the vacation, she chewed on his answers repeatedly while making up other winter vacation homework.She could almost guess that when he learned that her sweetheart was the mother of the boy chosen by the prophecy, he must have tried various methods to save it. opportunity.But if she wants to save him in the future, who can she turn to?Dumbledore?Dumbledore was even ahead of him.

Until September [-]st, the summer homework can be finished, but the troubles are still troubled.But on the surface, Dolores was still the same as usual, meeting Kara and other classmates in the train compartment, listening to them talk about various news and experiences of the summer vacation, such as Harry Potter coming to the Ministry of Magic because of encountering dementors. On trial.Although he was finally acquitted in court, criticisms against him continued to emerge endlessly. Even Kara couldn't help saying that he had an accident physique, and his every move could be published in the newspapers.

The new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new semester was Umbridge sent by the Ministry of Magic. She rudely interrupted Dumbledore's speech and gave a long and stinky inaugural speech in an official tone.The students applauded in unison, again giving up hope for this year's black defense class.

Dolores even felt lucky in her grade.At least Moody in the last school year—although it was later revealed that he was a Death Eater in disguise—has taught a lot of things, and there are not a few people who have obtained grades above A in the ordinary wizard level examination.

After breakfast the next day, the sixth graders got their schedules from their deans one by one.For the subjects Dolores wants to study, including Charms, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbalism, Astronomy, Defense Against the Dark Arts and Ancient Runes, she is eligible to enter the advanced class.In fact, except for Potions, the threshold for the general wizard level examination of other subjects is E.

Such a difference caused the class of Potions, even if the four colleges attended together, the total number of students would be just over ten. The previous five years, the form of a two-person partnership was correspondingly broken, and it became one person, one crucible, and the results were self-conceited.

The first lesson at the beginning of the school year was the production of the water of life and death. During the demonstration, Severus introduced several private techniques. Dolores compared the lesson plans and found that his changes were very good, so she directly crossed out the print and used him as a for the new authority.

After class, Dolores slowed down to pack up, deliberately dragging to be the last person.When the potion was returned and the thesis was handed over to Severus, he skimmed through it briefly, made a moody nasal voice, and told her to pick up the paper on Friday night and accept a new private tutoring assignment .

When it came to Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Dolores regretted taking this class after listening to Umbridge's opening remarks.Umbridge called it a fluke that they passed the ordinary wizarding level examination, formulated the so-called systematic theory-centered course content, and repeatedly reiterated classroom norms and etiquette, such as copying blackboard writing and answering every question.After one class, she felt more tired than finishing the written test of any class.

Fortunately, although this kind of teaching mode is dull and boring, with Hufflepuff's college style, it is not difficult to live in peace in front of her; and soon it was reported that her main target was Harry Potter, And adopted a terrible form of confinement.

"Merlin, Dolly, you didn't see Harry's hand!" Carabi stroked his hand and introduced to her, "The sentence Umbridge wrote as a punishment was engraved on his skin, although it didn't flow too much. There's a lot of blood, but every letter is embedded in the meat, and it's useless to rub white fresh essence!"

"I know this spell." Dolores sighed slightly: "It's a magical tattoo, just like Muggles like to tattoo their lover's family name or some kind of totem on their body, wizards can also use this spell to achieve it. Umbridge didn't know whether to praise her or scold her for using it like this."

"Without Umbridge, I might think this spell is quite romantic." Kara also frowned regretfully: "Oh, how touching and affectionate it is to engrave your name on my flesh and blood. , Unfortunately Harry wrote 'I must not lie' on his hand."

Carla is worrying about Harry Potter, and Dolores is also occasionally worrying about the late Cedric, because she has more than once bumped into Cedric's ex-girlfriend, Cho Chang, who is lovingly with Harry Potter. chat.

Of course, Cho Chang is not obligated to remain single for Cedric, but it's only two months after the summer vacation, and she can chat and laugh with other boys. Dolores, who has only loved Severus from the beginning to the end, can't understand this kind of situation. Emotional differences.

The tutoring provided by Severus is basically maintained once a month to one and a half months, which is also the frequency that Dolores just accepts when she needs time to write a thesis.After Emerald Potion, she also studied Dogbreath Potion, Caxambu Style Borborygmus Potion, Alihotsy Draught, Bulgeye Potion, and Scintillation Solution.She also gradually discovered that his focus is very clear, because these potions either have unconventional effects and are out of daily routine, or have complicated formulas with many steps, and they are likely to become part of the two parts of "knowledge and memorization" in the Potion Master Qualification Examination. The test sites, and only these two parts have a certain room for improvement, and personal efforts and outsiders' assistance can play a role.

If she had been a really ambitious young girl, she would probably have resented his tutoring style.It cannot be said that he is not responsible enough, after all, he can read and comment on her papers; but he is definitely not dedicated, he has never noticed the occasional typos in her articles, and all the medicines handed over to her are from previous collections , there is no need for him to prepare additionally for the thesis topic.He is like a race referee, who only indicates the track for her, fires the gun, and records the time. It has nothing to do with him whether she runs fast or slow, relaxed or tired.

After realizing this, Dolores was not without a little bit of discouragement, but she still completed the task with excellence every time, and handed it in with a smile.It's a pity that Severus couldn't possibly notice her subtle thoughts.According to his character, she even felt that if she showed the slightest bit of weariness or boredom, he would be more happy to see it, so that he could take the opportunity to get rid of the burden and put the responsibility on her.

Dolores would be blind in all things Severus, but she wasn't blind enough to see his shortcomings.However, she can always make up for his shortcomings, such as his perfunctory approach, she quickly found the reason: this is not his job after all, she is not a student of his college, friendship and help depend on the other party When she met Harry Potter occasionally in the office, she guessed that he had other counseling for Potter. Presumably, his mood was like the winter weather in the Scottish Highlands, and it was difficult to get clear.

On the first Monday in March, Dolores set off from the library for his library with Gregory's Unctuous Unction and freshly baked papers from Severus early last month. office.Before going down to the foyer on the first floor, she heard the noise in there, a female voice screaming hysterically, almost like a drunken maniac.

When she entered the scene, she watched for a while before she realized what happened.Umbridge, who has been trying to meddle in the academic affairs of Hogwarts, received an order signed by the Minister of Magic to fire the divination professor Sybill Trelawney and throw away all the latter's possessions in a brutal manner.

One of the two protagonists was proud and the other was embarrassed, and Dolores didn't pay much attention.Her gaze fell across the crowd and landed on Severus precisely.He seemed to have just come up from the cellar, and Harry Potter stood nearby.The farce didn't interest him either.When the others were attracted by McGonagall and Dumbledore who came out successively, he glared at Potter, turned around and left quietly.

Potter messing with him again?With such doubts in her heart, Dolores slowly moved to Potter's side while taking advantage of the little confusion caused by the appearance of the centaur Fizeren.The stone statue of Gregory the sycophant in the corridor hurriedly passed her vision, she pursed her lips, and secretly poured the flattery oil in her pocket into the palm of her right hand.

"Ah!" Dolores stumbled and fell on purpose, seemingly flustered but she accurately caught Harry Potter's hand.

Potter supported her submissively: "Be careful, there are a lot of people here!"

"Thank you! Ah—"
