snake catcher

Monday, September 9

Mel woke up this morning with only two alarms going off, and she's in a good mood!

Also won the twin whistles while eating, so cool!

Looking at the class schedule, the first class is herbal medicine, the teacher is her dean, Professor Sprout, and the location is Greenhouse No. 1 behind the castle.

Gummers-Wanda of their academy said that to get to the conservatory one had to bypass the castle.Mel remembered one thing - the Marauder's Map, if it was in hand, he would definitely be able to find a shortcut.

Remember that the 'Marauder's Map' was given to Harry by the twin brothers, but where did the twins get that map?Mel can't remember, but a bit of the 'Marauder's Map' is still in the castle now, that's for sure.

Let it be, Mel decided to leave the matter to time to sort it out.

Look at your watch, it's almost time.Mel drank the last bit of milk in one gulp, quickly stuffed the schedule into the schoolbag, and ran away.After making a big circle around the castle, Mel saw rows of glass greenhouses, and at the same time saw the students crowded in front of the last row of greenhouses, they were Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw.

Mel walked up, and everyone was basically unfamiliar, only a few people who knew each other were chatting in twos and threes.

After waiting for a while, Professor Sprout came and began to roll names in front of the greenhouse.

"Roger Davis"

"To!"

"Howard Rice"

"To!"

"Gummers-Wanda"

"To!"

……

"Mabel Dalton"

"To!"

"Cedric Diggory"

"To!"

Mel shuddered at the name.The character Mel will never forget, killed by Voldemort, Cho-Chang's boyfriend.

Mel tried to keep his heart from beating so hard, and glanced at Cedric who was not far away.He was a handsome little boy with dark chestnut hair and brown eyes.Very tall!Mel pouted, reluctantly admitting.Of course, judging by her height, every student at Hogwarts is tall.

"Okay, stand around the platform. Have you brought the dragon leather gloves? Put them on, you'll need them later." Professor Sprout finished calling the names, let everyone enter the greenhouse, and began to lecture "Red thorn thorns, thorns, thorns It is slightly poisonous, and the fruit is green and red when ripe, with a diameter of about 1 cm. It has very high medicinal value, and it is used in many kinds of potions, such as: refreshing agent, skin revitalizing spirit..."

In fact, if these plants were not so special, then it would be no different from ordinary plant class, and Mel lost interest soon.

History of Magic was a disaster for most students, but not for Mel.After receiving 11 years of exam-oriented education, Professor Binns' level is simply pediatrics.Mel can pass notes to classmates, deal with the twins' shenanigans, take notes, and still get every word right.This makes the twins very admire.

Astronomy is currently Mel's favorite class. It is romantic, beautiful, and emotional. She tries to ignore the students who chatter and ruin the scenery during class!

What disappointed her most was the magic defense class. The teacher who taught this class was Jedra Travolta. It is said that he is only in his 40s, but he looks like he is in his 60s, and looks older than her father.

He used to work in the Ministry of Magic and was an Auror, but he was tortured by the servants of the mysterious man-Death Eaters, his health broke down, and he suffered from amnesia. After retiring, he came to teach at Hogwarts.

His class is listening to stories. For children from ordinary families like Mel, they listened with gusto at first, but one thing is that they have to keep reminding him which part has been told and which part has not been told. over.

Then there was the Charms class. Thinking of this class, Mel couldn't hide her frustration anymore.Professor Flitwick's lectures were very clear, and Mel didn't sound like he had any obstacles.

But she just couldn't understand, with her pronunciation so smooth and her wand movement so perfect, why couldn't she cast a complete spell?Why does her wand cause accidents at every turn?Explosions, flames, thick smoke, emerge in endlessly.

Charms lessons with her were a disaster, the twins said.The students called her "Mobile Vault" behind her back. Originally, this nickname was only circulated between Gryffindor and Hufflepuff.

But when, in Professor McGonagall's transfiguration class, Mel blew up half of a silver needle that was going to be a match, and the other half slashed the face of Slytherin student Herbert Gump Afterwards, Slytherin became a new member of the victim army from a gloating bystander.

Mel thought hard that night, thinking that it might be because of the magic power spinning in his body.So she tried to stop it, knowing that the magic power in her body used to rotate on its own, and it was not under her control at all.So, making it stop was difficult for Mel.

It took a whole night to finally control the rotation of the magic power, and Mel went to bed and squinted for a while.

Tomorrow's first class is Transfiguration class, and the second class is Potions class. It depends on tomorrow's performance.

Mel woke up the next day when the alarm went off.Wash up in a hurry and finish breakfast.Mel went to the Transfiguration classroom early and waited for the class.

The students came to the classroom one after another, and after a while, a large circle was formed near Mel - no man's land.The students who came late regretted their lives and tried their best to squeeze away from Mel.A Slytherin quarrels with a Hufflepuff because Hufflepuff's seat is further away from Demel, and the Slytherin wants to switch seats with him, but he won't.

From the time travel to the present, Mel has been living in the doting of his father.Because of birth defects, developmental delay, and thin person, people around her are very tolerant to her.Occasionally a small prank that annoys people is quickly forgiven.She was so happy that she didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.

But being isolated like this now made Mel a little uncomfortable.

"Class!" Professor McGonagall walked in quickly.

"Today, we will learn how to turn a quill into a pencil." Professor McGonagall said directly, "However, before that, we have to review the content of the previous lesson. Come to each table and take the needle down."

With no one around, Mel went up to get the needle off by herself.

Ignore the gasp in her ear when she got the needle.

Professor McGonagall carefully explained the main points of the spell and gave a demonstration.Then say "Okay, who wants to show it to everyone!"

"I, Professor!" Mel had been waiting for a moment, and before Professor McGonagall could finish speaking, she raised her hand.

Professor McGonagall closed her lips tightly, her jaw twitched tightly, and she was silent for a few seconds.

"Well, Miss Dalton will come first."

Mel felt more empty around her.Closing her eyes, she felt the magic power in her body with all her strength, and forcibly stopped its rotation.Then, Mel went over the chanting of the spell and the movement of waving in his mind.

very good!Mel opened his eyes and smiled. It was absolutely fine this time.

Hold the wand tightly, lightly tap on the top of the silver needle, pronounce firmly and clearly, and wave calmly and powerfully, it's perfect!

"Boom" a gust of air rushed towards me, and Mel was blown against the long table behind. There was a white mist on his glasses. There was no explosion. Was it a success?Mel polished his glasses and quickly looked at the desk, but there was nothing!Where did you go?She looked confused.

Looking at Professor McGonagall again, her face was so heavy that she almost dripped water.Eyes fixed on the ceiling above, Mel followed her gaze upwards to see a small shiny dart teetering on the stone ceiling.

"Miss Dalton!" Professor McGonagall found it difficult to pronounce. This was the first time she had made such a decision in her more than 30 years of teaching career. "I allow you to sit in on this class!"

Although Mel's face was ugly, looking at the students who were visibly relaxed and whispering with expressions of fear and joy, Professor McGonagall told herself that the decision she made was right.

Mel didn't know how to get through the next transformation class.The notes were neatly written down five pages full, but Mel didn't have the slightest impression.

After class, with the surging crowd, I went to the next classroom.When she sat down, she realized that everyone around her was looking at her strangely.

what happened?Why are the Slytherin students here?

Broken, Mel suddenly realized, went to the wrong classroom.

Putting the discussion behind her, Mel hurried to the Potions classroom.

When Mel found the Potions basement, Professor Snape was walking in front of her.She passed him against the wall and slipped into the Potions classroom.Looking at the cauldron, the crystal jar, the glass funnel, the brass scales, Mel felt her confidence restored.Potions class does not require magic, so it should be no different from doing a chemistry experiment.

Just like the Ravenclaws sung by the Sorting Hat, the people are smart and wise, and they behave normally.

Mel felt relieved and found an empty seat to do it.

As Mel expected, Professor Snape gave everyone a bad word at the beginning of Potions class.Two-thirds of the people were terrified, and the other third were eager to prove that they were not stupid.Mel didn't feel any of this. After all, except for Dumbledore, she knew him better than anyone else in the world.Thinking of his ending, it was too late for her to sympathize!Where are the negative thoughts.

Until Professor Snape assigned the potion to be boiled in this class, he said blankly, "Since we have a 'Hogwarts Mobile Armory' here, we will make the simplest potion in this class. A medicine 'cough water' is used to eliminate the sequelae of colds. The production process is very simple, so you don't have to worry about accidental personal injury."

After he finished, all the Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws laughed happily, except for Mel.

Mel's first reaction was: dizzy, why did the nickname change again?

The second reaction was: Shit, Snape is mocking me!

Because of being stimulated one after another, the expression on Mel's face is now numb, and nothing can be seen.

The half-dried licorice root is very difficult to cut. Mel gritted his teeth and chopped the herb vigorously, while thinking in his heart, "I know him, I understand him! I know him, I understand him!..."

Throw chopped licorice roots into a boiling cauldron, and the pink liquid turns silver in no time.Stir clockwise 7 times, turn off the heat immediately, and while it was getting cold, Mel quickly poured the wormwood into the mortar.

Snape stood beside her for a moment, said nothing, and left.

She crushed the wormwood along the mortar clockwise with a pestle.Still muttering the old saying "I know him, I understand him!"

Otherwise, I can't suppress the fire!

Pour the wormwood powder into the crucible according to the prescribed amount, stir clockwise 7 times, and then light it on the fire.Watch as the silvery liquid turns bright yellow and boils, then turn off the heat.Mel glanced at the steps on the blackboard and Snape, who was standing on the left, went to the medicine cabinet to get the golden spotted grass.

Golden Spotted Grass is the only expensive drug that will be used in the 'cough water' potion. Its function is to make the effect of the drug more stable.In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't need it-the book says so.

After Mel came back from taking the herbs, he felt that something was wrong. The yellow liquid in the crucible was boiling, and the bubbles rolled out one by one, and then became slower and slower, as if a force was imprisoning its boiling.

Suddenly, there was a very violent and raging feeling coming from the cauldron.

Mel had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "No, it's going to explode, get down!"

As she spoke, she jumped up and threw down Cedric who was closest to her.

As expected of a Death Eater, Snape was very responsive.While leading the two students beside him to lie down on the floor opposite Mel, he commanded the others to "get down!"

There was a panic in the classroom, and muffled groans came one after another.

There was a disconcerting silence.

"May..." Snape looked up at Mel viciously, just as he was about to speak, there was a muffled sound, followed by a ringing in his ears, and after the dizziness, his eyes were pitch black!

The author has something to say: I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
