Chapter 328: Heavy Task
Undoubtedly, this year's opening ceremony was devastating, starting with the Sorting Hat singing a new warning song that, according to Nick, who was almost headless, meant "the school was in great danger", and then Umbridge, who frowned at Harry's sight and said, "The woman surnamed Umbridge!
In fact, it didn't need to be said by Harry, Darren also noticed, short and fat, with short gray-brown hair with a very ugly big pink bow on it, a pale, toad-like face and a pair of eyes with loose eyelids and bulging eyes, which were too eye-catching. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The meaning of her dry speech was even more impressive, "What do you mean 'progress for progress' should never be encouraged?" Hermione said through gritted teeth, "It shows that the Ministry of Magic is interfering with Hogwarts." ā
"It's about interfering," Darren added, and as soon as he finished speaking, there was a clash of tables, chairs and benches, and Dumbledore announced that the dinner was over, and the teachers and students dismissed and went back, and it was time for the prefect to play his role......
Watching Ron and Hermione beckoning the Gryffindor freshmen to leave, Darren felt Harry a little stunned and patted him, "Let's go too, we can help them," after all, it is not easy to lead such a large group of bear children, especially in Hogwarts Castle.
The group of freshmen would be amazed at what they saw, pearly white, translucent ghosts, oil paintings that would move and chat, stairs that kept changing, chattering non-stop, looking at them, Darren felt as if he was himself four years ago, time flowing......
Stumbling and yelling, he finally brought all the new students back to the Gryffindor common room, Darren grabbed a cup on the table, poured it full of water, and poured it down in one go, dealing with these kids felt even harder than dealing with the Swedish short-nosed dragon!
In the dormitory, someone had already arrived at the dormitory and was cleaning up their bed, but when Darren walked to his bed, it was already laid out, and his luggage was also put in the cupboard, shiny, no wonder wizards wanted a house-elf.
He fell on the bed at once, well, it was quite comfortable, Darren folded his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and thought, he had already started planning during the holidays, Voldemort returned, the situation in the future will be more and more dangerous, there are only a few days of stability like now, but his strength is still insignificant, and there is still a lot of work to be done, "Alas!" he sighed, "There is not enough time!"
Now it seems that this year, like the previous two years, we will have to fully "improve efficiency" and "optimize learning content", and in the fifth grade, there will be O.W.Ls exams......
The next day, as was customary in previous years, Darren once again handed Hermione the History of Magic lesson, "If you don't take it seriously this year, you won't be able to pass O.W.Ls!" she whispered to Professor Binns's unchanging scripted voice.
"I'm sure your notes will help me," Darren took out the tablet word and opened the document that recorded Moody's two notebooks, like other wizards, there are a lot of hidden words and passwords in it, which makes it very difficult for people to read it, but fortunately, the tablet word has a search function, which can find relevant information in the entire document and the database that records a large number of books, which can reduce some of the workload.
"Besides, I've been like this for the past few years, and I hope to make it up this year," he shook his head, "don't waste time, I don't care about O.W.Ls anyway." ā
Hermione has nothing to say about Darren's statement, others are O.W.Ls to find a job in the future, this guy's current net worth, only he works for others, who can let him work......
It's just that this good life only lasted two lessons, and in Potions class, Snape gave a "friendly reminder": "Next June, you will take an important exam, and at that time you will prove how much you have learned about the preparation and use of potions, although several people in this class are indeed mentally retarded, but I hope you can barely 'pass' in O.W.Ls exams, otherwise I will be very angry!"
"Of course, after this year, many of you will no longer be able to attend my classes, and I will only select the best students to join my N.E.W.TS Potions class, which means that some of us will have to say goodbye. ā
"But we have another year to hold on before that happy moment of farewell comes! So, whether you plan to take the N.E.W.TS exam or not, I advise you all to concentrate on your homework and achieve the high passing level that I expect my O.W.Ls students to achieve. ā
As Snape intended for his students to pass through the O.W.Ls of the lessons, it was said to be the most difficult and laborious potion of all, "the ingredients must be added to the cauldron in a strict order and quantity, the mixture must be stirred to a certain number of times, no more and no less, first clockwise and then counterclockwise, and the temperature of the flame must be lowered to a certain standard, neither high nor low, and held for a certain period of time before the last ingredient can be added," Hermione frowned and whispered the contents of the textbook, while Darren copied the ingredients and recipes on the blackboard, and then compiled them into instructions in required and chronological order.
It's so troublesome, don't think about being able to "get through" in Potions class this year, after writing the operating program, looking at the long parchment, Darren pouted and sighed, it won't save much time if it goes on like this! He handed the operation program to Hermione, and began to divide the operation content, the operation of this potion is too complicated, and splitting it can allow the operators to supervise each other, and improve work efficiency, fill-in-the-blank questions are always easier than the entire paragraph of dictation.
"Your potion should be emitting a faint, silvery-white steam by now," Snape said in the classroom with ten minutes left, as per the procedure.
Looking at the silvery-white steam coming out of the cauldron, Darren turned to Hermione, her potion was the same, and Snape walked over, looked down at the results of the two of them, and didn't speak.
Darren and Hermione looked at each other and smiled, and it seemed that it was done, and then they had time to check on the other people's work, Ron's cauldron was spraying green sparks, and Seamus went crazy and stabbed the flames under his crucible with the tip of his wand as they looked like they were about to go out, and when he turned to Harry, he found him standing next to an empty cauldron......
