Start at Hogwarts

Chapter 9

In fact, Lantu has always been very fond of the subject of potions, because Severus is best at this subject, and it is easy to see his love for potions, so Lantu thought, if Wouldn't Severus be happier if her potion grades were better, and that way, the next time he went to the Forbidden Forest to pick potion ingredients, she would be able to help him instead of standing aside? .

However, for some reason, as long as she faced the crucible and the drifting smoke, she would feel flustered and short of breath, and she would unconsciously put the wrong materials, and then there would be the consequences of the crucible exploding.Moreover, her memory is obviously good, but if she can't remember the potion ingredients, she will always get confused, so the result is that the cauldron explodes again.However, Lantu felt that she had made great progress under Severus' teaching. For example, the crucible exploded less frequently than before...

"How many times do you want to memorize this herbal medicine! I only memorized three of the dozen or so herbs I taught yesterday. Have you tried to memorize it! Is your brain the brain of a troll? Or do you drink it for breakfast? Too much pumpkin juice caused those liquids to soak into your brain!" Because Lantu couldn't remember Snape who had been in a violent state all morning...

"I didn't eat or drink pumpkin juice in the morning. Pumpkin juice doesn't taste good. Does Severus like pumpkin juice?"

"How could I like drinking that..." Halfway through the answer, it suddenly occurred to him that he didn't talk about pumpkin juice. Snape slapped the book in front of the only student, Rantu Hurley, even more troubled.

"Pay attention to me, this is a class! What I'm talking about is that you didn't seriously memorize the potion ingredients!"

"Well, I know, potion ingredients are so hard to memorize. I didn't sleep last night, and I only memorized three kinds. If you memorize the first few, you will forget the later ones..." Lantu yawned as he spoke. .

"How is it possible... no one, no matter how stupid, can only have this kind of speed..." Snape was a little disbelieving, but the black circle under Hurley's eyes and her always clear black eyes told him that she was I really worked hard...

"Is there really such a creature in the world that seems to be an insulator to potions..." Snape frowned and thought, and suddenly heard a loud grunt.

"I'm so hungry..." Lantu murmured as he memorized potion ingredients all night and morning, and didn't eat in the morning, clutching his stomach and pinching the book in his hand.

Snape paused, pressed his forehead, and put the book away with a wave of his wand. "Now, go eat for me! Don't let me see you like this again in the afternoon!" After speaking, he walked out of the classroom first.

Only Lantu was left packing his books in the empty classroom.She looked at the back of the man walking out of the classroom, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.In fact, Severus is quite a soft-hearted person...By the way, is this the cold outside and hot inside that Uncle Hurley said?Sister Lantu happily went to have lunch and ate very deliciously... She didn't know the entanglement in Snape's heart, the master of potions... She was beyond the range of potion monsters...

In the afternoon, Snape didn't ask her to memorize those potion ingredients, but brought some simple ingredients and tools.

"Now, you follow me and do the same every step of the way." After setting up the two cauldrons, Snape said to Lantu seriously. "Don't waste my potion ingredients! Otherwise, you'll have to pick them yourself!"

Lan Tu felt even more like facing an enemy, and nodded solemnly.Every step was strictly followed by Snape's movements. Not only had the materials to be used already been processed, Snape also deliberately slowed down his movements to wait for her.Even so, Snape successfully brewed a pot of high-quality low-level potion, and Lantu failed to brew a pot of purple unknown liquid...

"Wow!" Lantu sighed as he looked at the pot of potion he had brewed, and there was actually a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "I didn't blow up the crucible this time, and I can still cook such a beautiful color, Severus, you are amazing!"

Faced with Lantu Chiguoguo's admiration, Snape no longer knew what expression to use.

Aiming not to blow up the cauldron...how ridiculous this seemed to him.

"Again!" Snape couldn't believe that he couldn't let Hurley brew a potion successfully!

This time, Snape looked carefully.The action was correct, the amount of potion ingredients was correct, he had specially handled it, the number of stirring circles and direction were correct, and the time passed through his control without error... However, what appeared in front of him was still a failed potion .The green one on the left was made by Lantu, and the colorless one on the right was made by Snape.

"The green color is so pretty this time too~ Severus, can I keep it too~"

"Up to you..." Snape, who had been asked this question several times, was no longer in the mood to be sarcastic. He wondered why Hurley could use such ordinary potion ingredients to make such a special potion. s color.Except for a short period of time, such as when adding ingredients while stirring, Lantu's pot of potion was almost brewed by him, but look at this terrible situation...

Looking at the client who didn't take this matter to heart at all, Snape just felt that he was busy dealing with the potion materials for her practice, and looking for books and materials for her situation... …

"It's so beautiful..." Lantu couldn't help sighing as he looked at several bottles of blue, purple, green, yellow, and red liquids.

"Do it again, and stop looking at those failures!" Despite his impatience, Snape was still dutiful.

"Severus, come back tomorrow, okay?" Lantu touched the glass bottles filled with colored liquids.

Snape took out two prepared potion ingredients, "What? What excuse does Miss Hurley have, did she not eat lunch this time?"

"No, I'm still full after lunch."

"What I'm asking is what reason do you have! If there is no reason that I approve, you must stay here to practice until dinner this afternoon."

"You can't keep wasting Severus' potion ingredients. I want to bring them myself tomorrow, so it doesn't matter."

Unexpectedly, Lantu would say that, Snape's expression softened slightly, and he snorted, "I don't think you have those materials."

"I can pick them in the Forbidden Forest, there are a lot of them."

"To collect those materials by yourself? It's a great idea. I think you should first remember what those plants look like before thinking about this impossible thing for you at present." Snape pushed the materials on his hand Going in front of her, he took away the bottles of colorful failed products that she had been looking at and put them on his side.

"Ah, that's mine..."

When Snape came over, Lantu obediently withdrew his hand again, still staring at the bottles of liquid with reluctance.She originally wanted to keep it as a collection, but it was a potion made with Severus.

Seeing her reluctance, Snape, who was only planning to put those bottles away, became interested and took them all for himself.Maybe something interesting can be found in these failed potions.

Professor Snape wouldn't know that many years later, there would be a dedicated section on his potion cabinet for these colorful failed potions, and these colorful failed potions would take up a small half of his cabinet, giving the dull A lot of life has been added to the room, just like the masters of those potions...

..............................

"These bottles of failed potions will be regarded as, I will give you the reward for practicing potions with these materials."

"But that's useless. If Severus likes it, I can give it to you. I can pick the herbs I know tonight, or I can bring a book to compare..."

"I haven't paid you for the redwood flowers you picked for me last time, just offsetting these materials." Snape interrupted Lantu impatiently.I don't know what state of mind it was that made him blurt out this sentence.Obviously, the rootless redwoods that Hurley brought last time were useless.

Forget it, it's just for this reckless guy not to be eaten by the creatures in the forbidden forest... After all, he is a classmate...

"Did Severus like the redwoods last time?" Lantu asked happily.

"……Um."

So, Snape didn't know that his white lie this time was kept in Lantu's heart.Later, when he received a large handful of precious potion material redwood flowers (the ones that are useless if they are not pulled up together by the roots), he looked at Hurley's cheeks scratched by grass blades and The back of the hand... I can only face it in silence with a dark face, feeling extremely painful in my heart... so many precious materials have been ruined by this guy!But the other party has good intentions!He can't blame her yet!This is such a frustrating thing...

He was so overwhelmed that he didn't recover for several days, and the culprit didn't know what she did...

The author has something to say: Hahahahahaha~ The professor is very aggrieved~
