No.17 Sword 9 (Reverse)

Savior brand punching bag, good quality and low price, good effect XD

The plot of the professor's insult was quickly skipped, after all, Pansy, who knew the plot, was there, and it was impossible for Lupin to be excessive. By the way: the biased professor is very sullen and awkward and easy to flirt with XD

Still, huh......

Lupin, don't think you can get away with it, my little Ao is a full Slytherin, short and careful~ (Crowd: What's going on with your wavy sighs, hey!) ๏ผ‰

=======================================

Sword 9 (Reversed): The one who has secrets.

ใ€

Hogwarts Potions classroom

ใ€

[Draco.] ]

Before entering the Potions classroom with the book Pansy had brought her, Opal paused briefly, [Something I want to say.] ]

"What?"

[In Potions class, I think I might need to sit with Pansy.] ]

Draco looked at Opal's slightly apologetic expression and frowned without a trace, "Why?" I thought our partnership for the last few years should be perfect. โ€

[You know I've only been through the Mana Riot, and if I'm going to stir the potion now, the mana output in the fine areas is not stable enough.] ]

Although it was a little unpleasant for Draco, Opal explained seriously, [Considering that our Lord Dean has been in a state of low pressure since breakfast, it is imperative to ensure that the number of high-quality potions is to ensure his own safety. ]

"Do you mean to put me in a match with Blaise, and then you with Pansy?"

After being prompted by Opal to get here, Draco also reacted, "Also, Blaise's magic control is not as good as mine, and Pansy is not good at handling materials, and your current condition is not suitable for potion stirring......"

But at the end, he paused slightly, "...... later"

[In the future, of course, my partner will still be you.] ]

Opal smiled and continued, [It's just a stopgap measure for now.] Double Perfect Potion, I think it should at least guarantee that we, as Slytherin students, won't freeze to death before we even get out of the cellar. And Draco, you don't think I can put up with a clumsy guy being my potions partner, do you? Then I'd rather go it alone! ]

So she actually admired Snape in a sense - because there were no teaching assistants in Potions class, and the Potions class in charge of all Potions classes from grades one to seventh hadn't been by those Potions idiots...... In other words, she had already poured the other party a bottle of potion for free, so that he could be freed as soon as possible.

In her opinion, Snape was better suited to conduct his own potions research in a dedicated laboratory than to teach Potions, rather than wasting his life every day on the massive potions idiots and the basics of potions making.

"I said, what are you two doing here? If you want to talk to each other, would it be better to go in and talk about it? โ€

Just as Opal and Draco came to an agreement, Pansy and Blaise walked over, and Pansy teased when they saw the two of them standing in the hallway near the Potions classroom.

[Brace, your Pansy borrowed it from me for her Potions lesson.] ]

However, Opal didn't care at all, and he didn't look at the anti-general, and then without waiting for the two of them to answer, he directly dragged the anti-molested Pansy to the Potions classroom, [Pansy, you are responsible for boiling it when the Potions class is over, and I will handle the materials. Well, prepare an extra crucible, and I'm going to boil a modified paralysis potion by the way. I've calculated, today's class should be a shrinking potion, and the time to boil these two is completely more than enough. ]

"Huh? Opal what are you going to do with the paralyzing potion? Isn't that used to numb the body? โ€

Although she blushed a little at the teaser, Pansy quickly reacted to why Opal suddenly chose her as a potions partner - at first, in good conscience, if it wasn't for Opal, Draco would have reacted quickly. Is this a fan of the authorities?

[It's not because of the potions I received this morning, those bottles of potions work well, but the effect is definitely inversely proportional to the taste.] If I hadn't taken the modified paralyzing potion to numb my own sense of taste, I would have vomited it on the spot. ]

After glancing at the corners of his black robe flashing in the hallway on the other side of the classroom, and seeing that the other party had no intention of coming over to warn or warn, Opal raised an eyebrow - was this tacit approval?

"Opal, what are you looking at?"

Pansy, on the other hand, glanced strangely at her friend, who had stopped abruptly.

[Nothing.] ]ใ€

It's just that I saw a snake king who obviously cared but refused to get close, so he could only hide in the corner and pay attention quietly.

ใ€

Although the first half of the Potions class was taught and marked on the blackboard, the details that should be paid attention to were not left behind, and the second half of the potions brewing stage was quickly carried out, if not to mention that Gryffindor had lost a dozen or so house points again.

In front of Pansy and Opal's table, two crucibles were erected, and Opal did the selection, processing, and addition of materials, and Pansy just followed Opal's prompts to pay attention to the heat, stirring, and cooling.

It's not hard to make two different potions at the same time, but it's not easy to say.

However, Opal knew the brewing process of these two potions very well, and when she first listened to Snape's explanation of the shrinkage potion, she had already drawn the corresponding time scale schedule, and with the level of potion making of her and Pansy, as long as the above operations were carried out, the quality of the potion made would definitely not be any worse.

Incidentally, Snape had passed by their desks several times, intentionally or unintentionally, but he had ignored the obvious irregularities at their tables, and instead seemed even more critical of Hermione, who was constantly paying attention to their desks.

"Opar, do you know something?"

Pansy churned the cauldron containing the shrinking potion as she whispered to Opal beside her, "Lord Dean really doesn't care about this...... It's too ......."

Although Snape's eccentricity towards Slytherin is a well-known fact, this kind of strange scene can no longer be described by the word "eccentricity" - it is simply "favoritism", right?!

[Just do what you have to do.] ]

Compared to Pansy's surprise, Opal seemed very indifferent - except when she was a student, when she was a unicorn, she had been with a certain awkward snake king many times, and she already knew exactly where his bottom line was. A small violation like the current one, as long as it doesn't involve the attitude towards potions, then basically as a Slytherin, she can pass without risk.

Of course, if it were to be replaced by a certain golden savior of the Lion House......

"I thought I had told you again and again that the caterpillar slices that need to be added to this potion need to be cut into slices of about 3 millimeters. But it's clear that ......"

Standing a little behind the table between Harry Ron and Dracobres, Snape pursed his usual sarcastic smile as he pursed his lips, "Our savior would rather spend his energy discussing with his companions about the great adventure he's about to embark on than make his caterpillar slice thinner...... Perhaps, how about we should use the potion he made to conduct a little experiment, like Mr. Longbottom's toad? โ€

Neville hiccuped nervously as he was named, and his hand shakingโ€”and Opal glanced at it, and saw that the liquid that was supposed to end up bright green could actually be made into a ...... Orange?!

How the hell did he do it?! Potions can be made like this, which is also a kind of talent, right?

"Leave it alone?"

Pansy glanced at some of the people who had been sprayed with venom by the head of her school, either angry or frightened, as she handled the potions in her hands.

[There's Hermione here anyway.] ]

Opal shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, as he sorted out the materials needed for the last paralyzing potion, waiting for the next step to be added, [And don't you see that Professor Snape is in a rage right now?] It's better for him to deduct the lion's academy points to vent his anger than for us to be locked up and help with potion materials. Isn't it? ]

"It's also ......"

After thinking about it, Draco wasn't hurt anyway, and with Harry's potions production level, it was impossible to really poison Neville's toad, Pansy didn't bother to bother with this and turned to other aspects, "Speaking of which, what exactly is the potion you received today, Opal?" โ€

[Conditioning of the body.] ]

Looking helplessly at the magical flames beneath the cauldron, Opal took out her day's potions from her pocket - Riddle had given her three crystal bottles this time, containing a beautiful rose-purple clear liquid.

"The colors are still beautiful."

Pansy commented pertinently.

[Aside from the colors and effects, everything else is a nightmare.] ]

Opal looked at the bottle in his hand with a bitter expression, and waved his wand to divide the paralyzing potion that had been prepared into three small bottles, [Madam Pomfrey's special potions taste several times better than this.] Otherwise, I wouldn't have to prepare this paralyzing potion. God knows how to drink the potion after drinking the paralyzing potion...... I don't want to eat lunch. ]

"Not that exaggerated, right?"

[It's that exaggerated.] ]

With a sigh, Opal drank the paralyzing potion he had made first, completely paralyzing his mouth and the taste and senses of his esophagus, and finally pressed the mouth of the bottle containing rose-purple liquid to the base of his tongue in one breath, and raised his head so that the liquid could flow into his esophagus, [hmm......]

She knew that Rosemary wouldn't make her better, that the potion's strange taste was a direct stimulus to the nerve centers rather than the epidermal cellsโ€”and that her paralyzing potion was going to be modified again.

Staring at the potion bottle in her hand almost with a dark face, Opal noticed that there were still a few drops of potion left in the bottle but did not bother to drink it anymore, but casually placed it on the other side of the table against the wall, as if inadvertently omitted - Riddle's restrictions on potions had been lifted after she had drunk nearly all of them, and I believe Professor Snape would be happy to study the potion, right?

It's better to have a Potions Master to help than to suffer every time you study it yourself.

Spreading out two pieces of parchment paper in front of him at the same time, Opal threw the final boiling heat of the shrinkage potion directly to Pansy to deal with, and he was distracted and began to write about the re-improvement plan of the paralysis potion and the related papers about the shrinkage potion.

Snape, after passing Opal and Pansy's table, paused slightly, and after scanning the empty bottle with the remnants of potions in the corner of the table, and the titles of the two parchments on Opal's table, he walked over again as if he were blind, and went on to terrorize the Gryffindor lions.

Pansy, on the other hand, glanced suspiciously at the friend who had just finished the half-finished shrinkage potion paper and continued to lie there and work hard, as well as the dean of her own who had just walked over to the point that she felt a little unbearable, reaffirmed the speculation that there was definitely a cat between the two.

Merely...... Gossip is precious, and life is more valuable.

As a good Slytherin, it's a survival instinct to avoid harm and profit, well!

=====================I'm the divider ==================== the switching scene

Hogwarts Staff Lounge

ใ€

After drinking the potion with the ingredients, Opal didn't even eat lunch because of the side effects that could be described as "bad taste", but just held the sugar jar and stuffed a piece of sugar into his mouth from time to time.

"Opal, you're not going to do it, are you?"

Watching Opal's actions with a black line almost on his head, Draco felt the corners of his mouth keep pumping as he saw Opal take out the candy jar and stuff it into his mouth as if he were dying.

Because it reminded him intuitively of a mutant bee in the skin of a Gryffindor lion at Hogwarts.

[It's good to survive these three days......]

Opal didn't explain much about this, but continued to stuff sugar into his mouth with a bitter face, [I'll explain it to you later, but for now...... Can Draco trouble you not to ask anything? ]

"Draco, you're going to be bald if you're too worried."

Pansy and Blaise shook off from the side, and Pansy dropped a smirk, "And, though I don't want to say it." However, if you use too much hairspray, your hairline will move up in middle age. โ€

"Pansy Parkinson!"

A certain little platinum snake that took care of his hair was furious.

The afternoon session was Defence Against the Dark Arts by the newcomer Professor Remus Lupin, who focused on Boggart, known as "Facing the Most Real Fears," at the very top of the spacious faculty lounge.

Opal raised an eyebrow, glanced thoughtfully at the Slytherin Serpent King, who had been transferred from the original armchair to the back of the wall, with his hands around his chest and a face full of "no one should enter", and then looked at Lupin, who was holding an old wardrobe in front of him, and finally turned his attention to his textbook noncommittally.

There's no denying that after a morning of Potions de-suffocating points - perhaps the joy of reaping new potions? Anyway, Opal noticed that the potion vial on his desk had disappeared after Snape had walked by - it was clear that Snape's aura had warmed up a bit, at least much better than the cold and snow in the morning.

So, how satisfied do you think they are?

As for the little argument between the two teachers about Neville Longbottom, although Opal himself did not take it seriously, it was not intended to be a warning sign for Pansy.

Slytherin's snakes are quite protective beings, even if the other party doesn't actually need them, but as long as they identify it, they will pay something.

So after a brief explanation, just as Lupin was about to let Neville come up and test it first, Pansy took the lead and raised his hand before Lupin began to guide Neville: "Professor Lupin, I have a question. โ€

"Please."

He frowned imperceptibly, but Lupin was still grumpy enough to let Pansy, who was completely obedient to class etiquette, start to speak.

"As you said before, Boggart will become the most feared being of everyone, such as Longbottom is most afraid of Professor Snape, Weasley is most afraid of spiders, and Zabini is most afraid of slugs...... These are all things we know. โ€

After a slight pause, Pansy continued casually amid the friendly or mocking laughter of the crowd, "But speaking of which, it is also a deeply frightening thing for some embarrassing things about a girl's family to be exposed in front of the public, isn't it?" At least now, the thing I fear the most and don't want people to know is that I have a small bump on my back that affects my skin, and I don't know if this matter is shown by Boggart...... What will it become? โ€

"Uh......"

Lupin obviously didn't expect this stubble, and was slightly stunned.

Pansy's words resonated with the other girls and whispered in agreement, while Opal glanced at Pansy, who was obviously open-minded at the moment, and nodded lightly - although it was still a little too deliberate, but forget it, Pansy's age should not be too demanding.

After all, if she really became the head of the academy as Riddle requested, the original position of head of the year would be stepped down, and at that time, Draco would definitely become the head of the next year, and the position of head of the year would ...... Parkinson's family background can only be regarded as upper-middle, and if Pansy's qualifications are too poor, she can only give up and choose Brace, who is more well-connected but super afraid of trouble.

After a brief period of hectic commotion, a partition was erected between Borgert and the students to ensure the privacy of the students who stepped forward alone, as the final result of the class was acceptable to both parties.

However, neither Harry nor Opal were named by Professor Lupin to face Boggart during this class.

However, Pansy seemed to inadvertently mention it at the end of class: "That Professor Lupin doesn't know why he is afraid of a full moon-like silver platter......"

Isn't that normal?

Draco and Brace on the side seemed thoughtful, and Opal couldn't help but sigh when he noticed that Harry and his party had just passed by were completely unconscious.

Sure enough, she shouldn't have expected Gryffindor's observations, hoping that after the recent full moon, Harry's growth would find some clues.
