On closer inspection, his slightly long, tousled shoulder-length black hair was as greasy as the legend had suggested, and he was wearing a somewhat old robe, tall and thin.
His face was a little unhealthy sallow, and at first glance he felt as if he was suffering from a stomach ailment—Willow felt that perhaps he really had a stomach problem, lacked the care and affection of his parents in his childhood, and often missed meals because he grew up making potions—and when viewed from the side, the large Roman hooked nose on his face stood out. At this moment, he was intently stirring the potion in the crucible, and his expression was extremely focused.
However, in order not to attract the attention of others, Liu Quan saw only that. As a Gryffindor, her gaze lingered on the Slytherin side for a long time, but it would cause displeasure or discussion among the students on both sides.
Liu Quan quickly retracted his gaze, hesitated for a minute at the pile of ginger root slices on the table, and decided to take a risk.
Is that how it is...... The book doesn't say it explicitly, isn't it similar to "cut into moderately sized slices" or "add an appropriate amount of XX ingredients", it's like reading a recipe for dark cuisine - ambiguous expressions such as "a little salt, an appropriate amount of green onion and ginger", isn't it similar?!
However, her good fortune should be enough to support her not to blow up the cauldron, right?
Liu Quan followed the steps in the textbook and carried out them one by one. The smashed scarab beetle didn't bother her, and when the liquid in the cauldron had boiled for five minutes, she reached for the ginger root slices on the table, and after a little hesitation, grabbed them and threw them into the cauldron.
There was an immediate crackling sound in her cauldron, startling Willow Quan and the other students around her. Fortunately, this slightly reckless operation did not blow up the crucible immediately, but the liquid water level inside rose sharply, and there were surging bubbles at the mouth of the crucible.
Willow Spring subconsciously glanced at Snape, and found that his attention was finally drawn to the strangeness in her crucible. At this point, he had completed almost all the steps, just sitting there and waiting for the potion to cool before it could be bottled and turned in. But the strange sound of Willow Spring's cauldron made her a little confused for a moment, and the Gryffindors around her began to give her ideas in a mess.
"Turn off the heat early! Turn off the heat quickly! or the potion will overflow!"
"No, then this pot of potions will be ruined, quickly add armadillo bile and stir!"
"Add water, add water, your potion is too high Lily......" This is Lily's roommate, Mary MacDonald, who was sitting in front of Willow Spring, and screamed as soon as she turned her head.
Her screams made Liu Quan feel that things were going to end even worse. And she didn't remember that the potion would be the same as a chemical solution, and if the concentration was high, it would have to be diluted with water, and even if it was a chemical solution, it couldn't just be added with water, it might cause an explosion...... But this potion is obviously on the verge of death, and it is clear that it is about to push her, the "best student of Gryffindor", to the forefront.
In the midst of the chaos, she suddenly heard a hoarse boy in the middle of a voice change say quickly, "Hmph, stupid Gryffindors!
There was a contemptuous sneer in his tone, and a burst of merry laughter erupted from the Slytherin side.
The Gryffindors almost immediately stopped giving Willow Springs a rarity and glared at the Slytherins. James Potter, who had not expected Willow Spring to arrive late for class and chose the back seat, was sitting at the front of the classroom and staring at it with his eyes in disarray, jumped up at once, as if intending to grab the vicious little snakes and beat them one by one.
"Hey! snot-"
His friend Remus Lupin immediately grabbed him.
Snape pouted.
"Cutting the ginger root like that and thinking about what effect it will have! Gryffindor wants to show it too much, but cutting the ginger root into a piece of paper as thin as a piece of paper will not get extra points. He said sarcastically.
James almost shook Lupin's hand away. He looked like he was going to jump up and slap the table again to fight Snape.
"You-"
Liu Quan glared at James in time this time, stopping him from this hateful behavior. Then she immediately stirred five times clockwise, as Snape's caustic voice had said in the taunt she had just said.
The liquid in the crucible magically stopped bubbling, and the water level fell back to its normal position. It's a pity that the color is still a little ugly - Liu Quan estimates that this mistake will not be reversed unless some additional materials are added to neutralize it.
Willow Springs, pretending not to see the mysterious color of the potion in the cauldron, calmly followed the steps to add armadillo bile and turn off the fire. The next qiē is very smooth.
Professor Slughorn smacked his lips, looking very embarrassed, but gave Willow Quan an E. But his expression speaks volumes about the fact that he was "a point of friendship that was only given for the sake of Lily's usual excellent performance." The Slytherins began to talk without embarrassment, and their eyes were full of malice as they looked at Willow Spring.
Liu Quan wanted to slap the table and yell, "Everyone is arguing", but this is definitely a bad impulse to self-destruct. But being the focus of everyone's discussion is not very pleasant, especially when she herself is about to make Lily's image OOC.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered a long, long time ago, when she was still in the world of Honsheng, when she stepped through the school gate on the first day and looked uneasily at the strange Qiē in front of her, the only instruction given to her by the fierce mother of her family.
[Keep your head up and your chest up, and smile when you don't know what you should do.] 】
This is probably the old lady's experience or secret to deal with the malice of the world. However, it is not very easy for Liu Quan - her skin in the world of Bunsen is tanned, and no matter how good her facial features are matched with black skin, she will probably get a discount in this kind of Xiuxiu society that pursues whitening and dermabrasion.
Therefore, Liu Quan has always thought that it doesn't matter whether he laughs or not, when he is overwhelmed, because when he smiles, he is treated with kindness by everyone, which is the privilege of a beautiful woman--wait!!How did she forget!Now she is Lily!The flower of Gryffindor! Where to find Su's beautiful and excellent character!
Liu Quan immediately thought about it quickly, and then made a choice, and put a calm smile on his face, "You guys are noisy, I won't move".
...... To tell the truth, in her imagination, the point of accurately conveying this smile is probably similar to the kind of "friend please do this glass of friendship wine" that is necessary in the emoji package of middle-aged and elderly people, the corners of her lips are slightly raised, and she purses her lips to show a slight smile and expression, so that the receiving party feels the sense of [friendship like a spring breeze].
This inscrutable smile slowly took effect. As her smile continued, the argument in the classroom grew quieter, and Professor Slughorn coughed, adding as if encouragingly, "But this situation must be temporary, Lily, you are an excellent student I expect a lot", and brushed a good review for her.
...... It's amazing that swiping emojis can also calm the field.
After class, Liu Quan quickly packed up his things and rushed out of the classroom first.
...... Admittedly, the boat of friendship is still spicy and steady, but James' courteous greetings eight times a day when her brain will return to normal is indeed a little ...... The pressure is high.
The afternoon of the history of magic class had finally passed without incident, and it seemed that Professor Binns couldn't be more satisfied with Willow Spring, who was good at rote memorization, and he slowly added fifteen points to Gryffindor.
This incident finally gave Liu Quan some self-confidence that was about to be lost. However, early the next morning, Willow Spring, who had left the table early because he had forgotten to bring his textbooks and was rushing back to his dormitory, was grabbed by Snape in a hidden corner of the hallway.
Liu Quan: ?!
Snape was actually very fast, flashing out of the shadows around the corner and grabbing her arm, and when she was still standing, he quickly let go of his hand, and looked around a little annoyed, pursing his lips for a moment without speaking.
Liu Quan had no choice but to start the conversation himself.
"Uh...... Seaver, are you looking for me?"
Snape's expression grimaced. His black eyes were full of cautious defense, as dangerous as Liu Quan's next minute when he could send out Avada's life-threatening green light directly from his mouth, killing him.
Liu Quan was helpless.
...... Didn't you hold me back? What the hell is going on with another look of caution and fear now? I just found out that I chose the wrong limb and want to read the file again?
Liu Quan had no choice but to sacrifice the trick he used yesterday - [Friend please dry this glass of friendship wine] emoji, smile - smile - smile -
Snape looked disgusted, glared at her angrily, and was silent for a moment before squeezing out a word.
"Come to the Room of Requirement at night!"
Then he flicked off his school robe—which already had the posture and aura of the black-robed black robe of the Potions class professor in the future—and left.
Willow Springs: ...... It can't be some wonderful date waiting for me as an imposter - no, I'm being beaten by the professor!!
Anyway, in the evening, when she pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement, and was afraid that the enraged young professor would point his wand at the head again, as if he were going to give her an Arvada in the next second, she didn't get the bad treatment.
This time, the scene she saw in the Room of Requirement was actually - Potions Classroom!!
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment. Snape, who was standing at the long table making potions, raised his eyes slightly and cast a glance at her, a sneering sneer slowly rising into the corners of his lips.
"Is this a reminder of anything bad, impostor?"
Liu Quan: "...... No, I was just surprised. ”
After all, who doesn't suddenly turn colorful when they step into this wonderful room and see potatoes, carrots, lettuce, and other vegetables piled up on the long table?
Not sensing Snape's sharp hostility as she had done last time, she walked to the long table with confidence.
As a result, the next second, Snape picked up a kitchen knife that was dangling - no, a knife!
