Chapter 111: The First Potions Lesson
Along the steps, Canaan and Roger found their dormitory, a dormitory at the corner of the hallway.
The other two people in the dorm room are Will Anthony and Terry Bout.
Among the new students in this class of Ravenclaw, there were only four of them, and they happened to form the only dormitory.
Canaan found a cot with his name written on it. The cot leaned against the arched window, which looked out onto the dark Forbidden Forest. Canaan even saw Hagrid's cabin, the campfire in front of it resembling fireflies in the dark, glowing faintly.
Canaan felt that Hagrid would probably blame himself for what had happened today, and that the half-blood giant, who looked tall but was actually very fragile inside, decided to take some time to see Hagrid.
......
In the middle of the night, on the opposite side of a troll image on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, golden sparks flashed, and Canaan emerged from the mirror space.
"The Room of Requirement should be here. Canaan muttered as he looked at the wall in front of him.
The Room of Requirement is a very magical room, which can generate different rooms according to the different needs of each person.
Canaan remembers that in the last film of the Harry Potter series, the Rowenclaw crown was hidden by Voldemort. Now he needed to find the piece of the house and take out the crown.
"I need a room where I can hide things. Canaan walked back and forth in front of the wall, concentrating on the sermon.
A three-meter-high gate slowly appeared on the opposite wall, occupying almost the entire wall.
"Good!"
When Canaan walked in, he found that the space inside was very large, but it was also very cluttered. A large number of items are piled up on a hill that looks like a garbage dump.
However, a worn-out knight's armor in the distance attracted Canaan's attention, and the armor wore a gray crown on its head, as if it had been placed here for hundreds of years, and it was very old.
If nothing else, it should be the crown of Lawncrowe, who was made into a Horcrux by Voldemort, and he could feel the evil aura exuding from the crown, as if it was tempting people to take it.
Canaan stepped forward and cautiously used the levitation charm to put the crown into the storage bag, not daring to touch it with his hands. He felt that Voldemort must have left a trail in his Horcruxes, and it was better to be careful.
Finding the tiara, Canaan searched everywhere, and although the room where the belongings were hidden, there was no shortage of valuable items, although they were full of old antiques.
He saw a tattered broomstick, the Halo 1000, which was the first edition of the Halo series to be released, and it was very collectible.
In addition to this, Canaan also found a magic book called "Transfiguration Analysis". There was a thick layer of dust on the book, and it looked like it had been sitting here for some years. But the book contains a lot of techniques for using Transfiguration to fight, and Canaan feels very useful.
After continuing to search for a while, Canaan felt that he had gained nothing and hurried back to his dormitory. He was still looking forward to tomorrow's class, and he didn't want to go to class with a pair of panda eyes.
The next day, the morning sun shone through the window on Canaan's face, waking him from his sleep.
The first year at Hogwarts wasn't very easy, so he took a quick look at the timetable. Except for Thursday afternoon, when there were no classes, the rest of the time was scattered and filled.
After a hurried breakfast in the hall with Pikachu and Roger, Canaan prepared for their first lesson at Hogwarts, Snape's Potions class.
When Canaan arrived at the Potions classroom in the basement, he found that the seats were almost full, and he saw that Alita was already seated in the first row, but he didn't reserve a seat for them. In desperation, they had to find a seat in the back row and sit down quickly.
"Oh, how can there be a cauldron on their table? Why don't we?" said Roger, looking around, a little puzzled. It wasn't until he saw Canaan silently take out a crucible from the storage bag that he slapped his forehead violently, "Damn, I left the crucible in the dormitory." ”
"Let's share one, it's too late to go back and get it now. Canaan shook his head helplessly, fortunately he was used to putting things in the storage bag, otherwise he would probably forget the crucible.
At this moment, the door of the classroom was slammed open, and Snape walked in quickly in his black robes.
He stood on the high platform in front of the classroom, glanced at everyone with his sharp eagle, and then spoke slowly.
"Potions requires intense science and rigorous craftsmanship. ”
"This course doesn't require you to wave your wand stupidly, but I want you to really appreciate the beauty of the simmering cauldron of white smoke and wafting with a fragrant fragrance. ”
"I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death!" Snape's cold voice echoed through the classroom.
"But one thing, you're not the kind of stupid fools I often meet. Snape suddenly looked at Canaan in the back row, and said in a stern voice, "Mr. Blaine, don't you know that pets are not allowed in the classroom?"
Sure enough, as soon as it comes, it will be targeted!
Canaan stood up in front of everyone's gaze and said slowly, "Professor Snape, Pikachu is not a simple pet, it saved us all yesterday, Professor McGonagall said it was our hero. Moreover, it is here, and it will not affect us to do experiments. ”
"Pika!Pika!" Pikachu also climbed on the table, waving his tail and nodding in agreement.
"Shut up, the magic attached to a pet's fur can have a very big impact on the experiment, and I don't believe the famous Mr. Bryan doesn't even know about it!" Snape interrupted coldly.
"Professor, don't worry, I put a spell on Pikachu's body beforehand, and it won't lose a single hair today. Canaan was still smiling, and he was at ease in the face of the aggressive Snape.
Snape's brow furrowed slightly, he felt that every time he faced Canaan with sharp words, it was like hitting cotton with a fist, and it had no effect.
He quickly got off the stage with a large black cloak and came to Canaan with a sense of oppression.
"I hope you'll take care of your big fat yellow mouse," Snape said word by word, looking into Canaan's eyes. But before he finished speaking, he saw Pikachu on the table cocking his tail angrily, surrounded by electricity.
"Pika!" Pikachu looked at Snape angrily, as if he was going to attack the next moment.
Snape's lips twitched, and he finally swallowed the words that followed. He gave Pikachu a hard look, then turned around and walked back to the platform, like a big bat that had lost a battle.
After that, Snape seemed to be even more irritable.
"Where's your crucible, don't tell me, you didn't even have a brain!"
A chubby boy from the Snake Courtyard stood up: "Professor, I'm very sorry, I forgot. However, Alita, who was next to me, said that she could experiment with me, and I guess that shouldn't be a problem. ”
"Shut up, don't make excuses for your stupidity, Slytherin deducts 10 points!"
The morning Potions class went on with Snape's roar, and as for Canaan, Snape didn't bother him anymore.
Canaan was happy to do the same, and he and Roger completed the simple class tasks. I took out the materials from the storage bag and practiced other advanced potions alone, which was very free.
It's just that Snape would occasionally turn around, and when he saw that some of Canaan's steps were not properly handled, he would point out the problem in extremely sarcastic terms, and then strode away.
Tsundere Snape!
......
Lunchtime, Auditorium Hall.
"It's hard to imagine that Professor Snape would deduct credit for his own house in Potions class. Robert was taken aback. He had been at Hogwarts for so many years and had never heard anything like it.
"I think he must have been very angry. But he seemed fine except for being a little more irascible and stern. Roger said his opinion as he dug through the strawberry-flavored patches with a silver spoon and ate them.
"Roger, it seems you don't know him well yet. I'll tell you, if you were to rank among the professors at Hogwarts, Professor Snape would be the least popular. Robert said softly.
Listening to their small talk, Canaan did not interject as he ate a tender steak on the side. I have to say that the house-elves at Hogwarts cook very well, and a lot of the food is full of characteristics.
His steak seems to be a French method, and there is a faint red wine flavor in the steak, coupled with the freshness of lemon juice, showing a different taste, very delicious.
"Canaan, when lunch is over, Dumbledore wants to talk to you. At that moment, Professor McGonagall suddenly stepped into Canaan's ear and whispered.
Canaan looked up and saw Dumbledore's crescent-shaped eyes smiling at him, and he raised the red wine glass in his hand and gestured slightly.
What are you going to do with this old fox?
After lunch, Canaan arrived in the Headmaster's office, where Dumbledore was already waiting for him at the door.
"It seems that you don't hate life at Hogwarts very much, and you have a good time with your friends. Dumbledore smiled.
"Life here is good, and the food is great, but what are you looking for me for?"
"Did you feel anything unusual yesterday when the merfolk rioted?" Dumbledore asked slowly.
"No, Mr. Headmaster, I suppose you can see what happened? It has nothing to do with me. Canaan shook his head.
Dumbledore wasn't suspicious of him, was he?
"Oh, Canaan, I don't doubt you, I just think you might be perceiving details that ordinary people can't. Dumbledore explained.
Canaan touched his chin and muttered, "If you really want to say it, there was something strange about yesterday. First of all, we heard a "plop" sound before the merfolk swam around us, or our freshmen were the first to attack the merfolk before they attacked us. ”
"But, I'm sure you're already investigating that freshman Will, right?
Dumbledore shook his head solemnly, "There's nothing wrong with him. This is also where he doubts the most.
"Okay, then I'll go back, I still have classes in the afternoon!" Canaan shrugged and turned to leave. He didn't want to worry about Dumbledore, and the merfolk riot shouldn't be too difficult for him.
"Wait, Canaan, I hope you can join me in the afternoon to see the merfolk's lair in the Black Lake. Dumbledore smiled and said, "Professor McGonagall has already taken a leave of absence for you. ”
"Oh hell, I want to go back and catch up on sleep..."Canaan sighed weakly at the sight of Dumbledore's foxy smile.
