Chapter 11: Potions and Flying Lessons

Written on the front: In the next few days, I have to think carefully about the direction of the plot, maybe Carvin, and there are students who want to make a cameo appearance in Ravenclaw as soon as possible.

After the chaos, it was discovered that none of Slyerjelin's students had received a rant letter, and it was no wonder that every student of Slyerjelin, who considered himself an aristocrat, still knew some etiquette.

By the time everyone figured out when they were in class, the clock had reached 9:30, and the students who had traveled far away hurried to their classes, while the students who did not have classes slowly paced back to the dormitory. For some of the older students and all of the Slyczelin students, they did something unacceptable as they left the hall - the Slajelin students, who had always been at odds with Gryffindor, walked around the Ravenclaw and Gryffindor long tables to greet Holly - bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.

Holly didn't care about this, but after glancing at the class schedule, he got up and left the auditorium and ran to the classroom of the Charms class, after all, it was the class of his own house president, and it was not always so nice to be late or too late.

Arriving at the Charms classroom, Holly hurriedly found a place to sit. By this time, Professor Flitice Flitwick had already walked into the professor. In the first lesson, Flitwick did not ask the students to do anything, a simple lighting spell - the fluorescent spell - was all about the lesson, there were no special gestures, all that was needed was to say the spell "Lumos". Time flies, and Professor Flitwick is happy to joke with his students. Although he was not tall and needed to stand on a stack of books to see all the students, Charms class was also a class full of laughter, and after the first week of classes, Holly's feeling was especially strong.

The most anticipated lesson was Potions, the first time Holly was excited to face Snape as a student, and at the same time she had some doubts about whether her Potions level could meet Snape's requirements, after all, Snape had told her that for her, any grade below E was unforgivable...

On the way to the underground classroom, Holly did not see any portraits, but instead snakes, which was unique to Slejelin Academy, and the presence of snakes also made this cold and dark classroom even more gloomy.

The roll call before class gave everyone a dismissal.

The quick and short roll call made everyone nervous in an instant. A black robe that turned around and fluttered made everyone realize that the Potions class did not seem to be an easy class.

Gazed upon by hollow, indifferent eyes, the opening line "You have come here to learn the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of this potion brewing. Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of the simmering cauldron of white smoke and wafting with the fragrance wafting out of it, you won't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic of the heart and mind... I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death—but one thing has to be that you are not the kind of fools and fools I often encounter. "Many people have begun to feel guilty and try to show themselves to prove that they are not stupid fools as the professor said.

Snape divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies. Joining Holly was Lily Dupin. Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them call dried nettles and crush snakes' fangs, and almost all of the students were criticized.

There were no accidents in the Potions class, and Holly and Lily, who were the fastest and best done, only received 2 points and 2 E's. Holly, who didn't get the P evaluation, was very depressed, and when she was about to take Lily to the library, she was reminded that it was very late and it was easy to violate the curfew, and it was only then that Holly remembered how much her identity had benefited her.

Compared to the more hands-on herbs and lethargic history of magic, the Transfiguration class was a good course, especially after Professor McGonagall showed off her transformation into the human and animal forms of the Animagus, and Holly finally became a little interested in the subject, and the ensuing three-inch parchment homework made Holly feel a little in awe of this unusually close discipline that combined theory and practice, and no longer had a joking attitude.

After the last class on Friday morning of the first week, the first week of classes ended. On Monday of the following week, Ravenclaw had a flying lesson with Hufflepuff. Given that Ravenclaw didn't have the proud peacocks of Draco Malfoy, the first weekend was quite quiet for Holly. The only problem was that when he borrowed Snape's Potions classroom to do his second-year potions experiment, Holly did not achieve the colors required by the textbook for the first time, so Holly repeated the experiment twice, but still did not get good results.

Monday's flying lesson was uneventful, and after spending a lesson smashing the roots of the Sunlight Orchid, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students stepped onto the Quidditch pitch for their first flying lesson. Twenty broomsticks were neatly laid out on the ground.

Their teacher, Mrs. Hodge, came. She has short gray hair and two yellow eyes, like the eyes of an eagle.

"Okay, what are you all waiting for?" She snapped, "Everybody stands next to a broomstick. Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

Holly glanced down at his broomstick, which was worn and old, with some branches poking out in all directions. But it seems that everyone's brooms are the same, tattered, as if they will break at the touch of a button.

"Stretch out your right hand and put it over the broomstick," called Mrs. Hooch in front, "and say, 'Get up!'"

"Get up!" Everyone shouted. After everyone had grabbed the broomsticks in their hands, Mrs. Hooch showed them how to ride the broomsticks without slipping off their heads. She walked up and down the line, correcting their hand grips.

"Well, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and kick hard. Mrs. Hodge said, "Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, and then lean forward slightly and fall vertically back to the ground." Listen to my whistle -- three-two-one, get up. ”

Holly was the first to get off the ground, and after climbing a few feet as required, he felt great, as if he knew what to do from the start. With a slight exertion, the broom moved forward at a slower speed, and then Holly carefully controlled the broom to spin in a circle in the air, and then returned to the ground.

"Nice, Ravenclaw plus one point. Miss Holly Parker has given you a good example, why don't you try hard. Mrs. Hodge immediately shifted her attention, "Miss Parker, you can go to the relatively large open space over there and try to fly by yourself, not too high, not too fast." ”

The two hours were quickly over, and everyone was on the air, though one landed just three feet off the ground, and even then, Mrs. Hodge rewarded him with extra points. While everyone is getting extra points and enjoying the joy of flying, no one cares that Holly can already ride an old broom and do some wonderful dodging maneuvers in the air...
