[hp] warm as jade

Snape's office is in the cellar next to the Potions classroom, the light is dim, and there are all kinds of bottles and jars on the walls around the office, there are about a thousand kinds, all of which are ingredients for potions. On the table facing the door were various books, crucibles and other potion containers, one of which was gurgling and tumbling, exuding a bitter breath.There is a small passage on the right, probably leading to Professor Snape's bedroom.

Snape was sitting behind the desk, and Rong Jiu stood obediently in front of the desk, with her head lowered, wondering in her heart why Professor Snape asked her to come here.Is it because her attitude in class before was too weird?still……

"Professor McGonagall told me that you can't use the wand proficiently, can you?" Snape's voice was much softer than in class, although the pressure had not weakened at all.Maybe it was because he was in front of a Slytherin student who was doing well in Potions and had a good relationship with Draco, so he seemed more lenient.

Rong Jiu was obviously a little surprised, but immediately replied: "Yes, Professor."

"Then Miss Rong, do you know the reason?"

Rong Jiu quickly raised his head and glanced at Snape, gaining some courage from those black eyes, and then replied: "Professor, I can't understand why simply waving a wand and chanting a spell can have an effect?"

Snape raised an eyebrow: "Go on."

Rong Jiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "That's it, I don't know how to use this kind of magic power. Isn't the magic we use because of our own abilities and external elements? Just by waving and chanting spells correctly, we can produce various magic powers. If there is such an ability, why is there such a thing as Muggles? Could it be that Muggles have magic wands and can use spells correctly, just like us? "

silence.

Rong Jiu could almost feel Snape's eyes lingering on her for a long time, as if he wanted to see what was in her head.She felt her back start to sweat, and her fingers kept twisting in front of the wizard robe, as if she wanted to twist her fingers into a ball.But she still forced herself to be calm, at least she looked calm - it really wasn't her fault, Professor Snape's aura was really terrifying.

After about a century, at least Rong Jiu thought so, Master Snape finally said: "I don't know how boring you are to find time to think about these meaningless things from formal schoolwork, maybe My homework is less so that you have such a leisurely mood. A piece of parchment, about the knowledge of the medicinal materials involved in today's potion class, I will see it appear in front of me before next Tuesday, Miss Rong .”

"Yes, Professor." Rong Jiu almost started roaring and rolling inside, why why why didn't she just ask Professor McGonagall for help after class, why was she punished with an extra paper?But she calmly obeyed the order.Anyway, resistance must be ineffective.

Snape looked a little satisfied: "Now, then, we can solve your problem."

Rong Jiu looked up in surprise, Snape had already stood up, and pulled out a match from the material bag: "Let me see what you learned in Transfiguration class?"

Rong Jiu tried his best to recall what he learned in the transformation class, and the match indeed turned into a needle.However, the needle head is still round, and there is no hole-like thing at the end of the needle.Looking at the so-called needle, Snape's face darkened quickly, Rong Jiu thought he was about to roar, but Snape just sat back behind the desk.

"It seems that your problem is indeed serious." Snape frowned. "Why do you have such a problem? How did you think of it?"

Rong Jiu said honestly: "Because I have learned different magic systems before. By mobilizing the surrounding elements to strengthen myself, and through myself to control the surrounding elements - wind, fire, water, earth, wood... to make them To achieve my purpose. This makes me feel very secure, I know the reasons and consequences of this, but the wand cannot."

"Show me," Snape ordered.

Rong Jiu sighed: "Okay, Professor."

So she had to repeat the action on the train again, the difference is that this time the object became the poor match, and what she gathered was not the wind, but the fire.It burned up under Professor Snape's gaze, and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

Snape looked at the matches silently.The ability used by this first-year student just now is equivalent to the raging fire used by senior students after learning the silent spell. Even if the power is not so amazing, it is already very good for people of this age.

It's just that she has been educated in a novel magic system and has already started.With such a foundation, how to learn new things?

After another long silence, Snape asked, "What did Professor McGonagall say?"

"She suggested that I forget what I have learned." Rong Jiu replied, "But she felt it was a pity and said that I should work hard to get used to it first."

Snape stood up from the chair, his black robe trembling with his steps, like a huge black bat: "It is indeed a pity. It is undoubtedly stupid and incompetent to give up one kind of knowledge to learn another Yes, Slytherin does not allow anyone who is weak - unwilling to accept a challenge; nor stupid - who cannot accept a challenge. Do you understand me, Miss Rong?"

"Yes, Professor." Rong Jiu replied firmly.

"Very good. Then every night from now on, from six to eight o'clock, come to my office. To help you overcome your weakness and incompetence." Snape's lips curled into a mocking arc, "Because the existing abilities cannot Learn other skills smoothly, your brain capacity is obviously not bigger than this match, I hope you can use the time spent discussing whether Miss Granger's arm is sore with Miss Parkinson to think about how to make yourself smarter , instead of accepting only what you can accept like a troll."

"...Yes, Professor."

Rong Jiu looked particularly miserable after leaving the office, because for an hour after that, while training her to use a wand, Professor Snape used a lot of rhetorical techniques to describe his knowledge of her abilities and IQ Most of the metaphors are trolls and stone statues to show her stupidity and clumsiness.The double blow of spirit and body almost made her unable to lift her feet.However, under such pressure, she was indeed able to conjure a nearly perfect needle.

The reason why it is said to be almost perfect is because Professor Snape thinks the gloss is not enough.For such a reason, Rong Jiu could only swallow tears silently.

You are the boss, you have the final say.

Thinking that every night in the future, she will face all this...

Merlin, Taishang Laojun, whoever comes here, save her!
