The Potions class was held in an underground classroom, which was very remote and dark, just like Snape, the Potions professor himself.
As for whether he chose that place as a classroom because he was gloomy, or because the gloomy environment there affected him, or a combination of both, it is currently unknown.
Maybe it's because Snape's classroom is too remote and difficult to find, or maybe it's because he was delayed for too long in the Great Hall?
Anyway!
Although they didn't want to, Harry and Ron were late after all!
Then there was no surprise. Snape, who was taking the roll call and obviously knew that both of them were not there, saw the two of them appear at the door of the classroom and saw their awkward and uneasy expressions and movements.
He opened his mouth and started laughing.
"Aha!"
"Yes……"
"Look who this is?"
"Harry Potter...our new arrival at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year, a very famous figure!"
"And this..."
"Potter's little follower, the youngest son of the Weasley family..."
"Although their family is indeed very capable of having children, it can be seen that each of their sons is worse than the last?"
"I'm very impressed by this..."
Speaking of which, some students in the classroom, especially the Slytherin student Malfoy and his friends, those who have always been at odds with Harry and Ron, and even had several conflicts with Crabbe and
Gao Er and others couldn't bear it any longer, and they all laughed out loud with joy.
But fortunately, before they could continue to laugh or utter sarcasm or ridicule, they were stared down by Snape's cold, empty black eyes and lowered their heads and closed their mouths, not daring to make trouble in class.
"Damn it!"
"Don't waste my time!"
"Get in quickly!"
Fortunately, Snape did not embarrass the two of them too much after all, and directly shouted at them to let them enter the classroom.
"..."
"..."
Although it was very uncomfortable to be scolded by Yin Yang Monster, the two of them trotted into the classroom with relief after seeing that they were able to get through.
"Before class next time, each of you should submit a three-page review to me!"
"besides……"
"Ten points for each person who is late!"
"Twenty points from Gryffindor!"
However, before the two of them could secretly rejoice, Snape spoke viciously and deducted twenty points from Gryffindor, which made the Gryffindor students who were originally somewhat sympathetic and pitiful for their experiences.
They all turned towards the two men and saluted with angry eyes.
"..."
Especially Hermione, her eyes were red with anger.
You know, she worked very hard in the first few days of school, and she spent nearly two months preparing textbooks during the holidays before she could barely get a total of 20 extra points for Gryffindor in a few classes. Now she is doing well.
, just let Ron and Harry be completely defeated in one lesson?
"Class begins now!"
However, Snape did not intend to give anyone a chance to waste time, he started teaching directly...
"remember!"
"You are here to learn the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of preparing potions!"
"Since there's no silly wand waving here, many of you won't believe this is magic."
"I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and wafting out bursts of fragrance. You won't truly understand the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which is so exciting and confusing.
Wonderful magic..."
"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death-"
"But there must be one thing, that is: you are not the stupid fools I often encounter?"
After saying the opening remarks, he once used his cold eyes to roam around Ron and Harry, intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say: Are these two people the kind of idiots and fools he just said?
And then there was no surprise. He specially picked some questions that were not about today's class to make things difficult for the two of them. He once again found an excuse to deduct two points from Gryffindor, and then angrily answered the question he just made things difficult for the two of them.
Answers to a few questions, while shouting at the students to write down what he just said.
Then, after giving enough power to the students, he started the formal class, that is, according to the requirements of the textbook, he instructed the students to work in pairs to mix and prepare a simple potion to treat boils.
Unfortunately, Anne was assigned to the group of Neville, the stupidest one, instead of Hermione who came with her.
And what I didn’t say!
When Anne saw Neville's clumsy tricks, she couldn't stand it. She grabbed the other person's tools and quickly smashed the dried nettles and crushed the snake's fangs without using the troublesome scale.
She threw slugs and other things into the cauldron, then turned on the fire and stirred, and before Neville could do anything, her potion was finished.
"professor!"
(￣︶￣)
"We're done!"
(^o^)/
Then, without saying anything, before the stunned Neville could react, Anne raised her hand and said she was done.
"What?"
"This is impossible!"
Upon hearing this, Snape became furious and quickly walked to their table, ready to scold them severely.
Because he knew that although the potion was very simple, just mixing the medicinal ingredients and cooking the slugs with tentacles would take a lot of time. It was a delicate job and could never be that fast.
"..."
However, when he walked up to the two of them and saw the potion in the big crucible and the steaming blue mist, he was dumbfounded.
Because he discovered that the potion in front of him seemed to be a good potion in terms of color, transparency, viscosity and taste?
Moreover, the amount seems to be quite a lot?
Then, thinking about it, I still felt a little unbelievable. I felt that no one would be able to match it so quickly. Even Snape, who was not good at it, even took the risk to reach out and apply a little bit on his penis after looking at it again and again.
On the back of the hand.
"snort!"
In the end, there was really no fault to be found, and he didn't know how the two people in front of him accomplished it. Snape could only snort coldly and said with a gloomy face:
"Now that it's done, hurry up and write down the steps you just took!"
"That's your homework today!"
After saying that, he took another deep look at Neville and the playful little girl next to Neville. Snape flicked his sleeves and walked away with a sullen face to inspect others.
"besides!"
"The rest of you, don't be so stupid!"
"That was done by others, not you!"
"Start now!"
"Complete it as it says in the book, then write down your steps, revise it when you go back, and hand it in before the next class!"
Then, he started roaring in the classroom.
that's all……
Nearly an hour later, after several groups of people were scolded, and even a few girls were almost frightened to tears, the first potions class was finally coming to an end.
But at this time, it was very unexpected!
I don't know what happened, but Neville suddenly raised his hand, and then stammered to Snape, saying that he wanted to know if there was anyone who could cure people who were tortured crazy by the Unforgivable Curse.
Potion or something?
"..."
After hearing his question, Snape did not answer immediately, but stared at him deeply and sinisterly, and after a long time he said:
"Instead of asking unrealistic questions, you should think carefully about how to complete today's homework!"
"What do you think..."
"If there really is that kind of magic potion, how can a guy like you, who can't even cut and weigh the medicinal ingredients, prepare it?"
"Don't think I don't know!"
"You didn't even use the magic potion just now. You even copied the steps from your classmate!"
"Hmph!"
"Whenever you become half as capable as your classmate, it won't be too late to come and ask me about this question again!"
"Because then, I won't have to worry about you, an idiot, not being able to understand?"
Snape sneered viciously, causing the boys in Slytherin, led by Malfoy, to laugh unbridled again.
But they didn't dare to laugh for too long, because Snape also gave them a vicious and threatening look, which made them so scared that they shut their mouths instantly.
"Now!"
"Everyone listen!"
"Before next class, hand in the lab report for today's class!"
"Just follow the steps you each performed today. No deviations are allowed, and you are absolutely not allowed to copy other groups' work!"
"Otherwise, you will know the consequences..."
As he said that, he ignored Neville who was standing and a little at a loss, but took a deep look at a little girl with a playful smile for a while, and then waved and said when the bell rang:
"Pack your things!"
Chapter completed!
