Chapter 14: Severus Snape
When Dudley and the others entered the classroom, they found that there were only three empty seats, one of which had to be seated with Hermione.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they were all aware of the little filth in the hearts of the other two people.
Harry and Ron were at a huff in their hearts, and they each grabbed each other's arms. The two of them immediately looked at Dudley and smiled.
"It's not. Dudley put his hands on their shoulders and said, "That's all you can bear?"
Dudley pretended to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes and continued, "Do you know how painful I've been through this week, especially in the History of Magic and Astronomy classes, you're sleeping and I'm trying to pretend I'm not sleepy at all, and I'm listening to Hermione chatter in my ear. ”
Dudley pulled Harry and Ron in front of him, and he whispered almost to their ears, "Okay, all right, which of you is going to sit with her." ”
As if they had seen the dragon at its disposal, Harry and Ron hurried to sit down on two open seats next to each other, and Ron nearly tripped over himself.
The corners of Dudley's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "You guys are really brothers. ”
Dudley was helpless, but he had no choice but to sit down next to Hermione. He was a little restless, mostly because Hermione's cheeks were flushed and she was staring at him with her eyes. Presumably Hermione had listened to all the words just now.
Just as Dudley was thinking about fleeing, Hermione turned her back, leaving only the back of Dudley's head. Hermione's hair was really thick and unkempt, and the more she looked at it, the more she looked like an Angora rabbit.
"Bang!"
There was a loud bang at the door, and a man dressed in dark purple and wearing a black cloak walked in. His cloak fluttered as he walked, and he looked like a walking bat. In addition, he has a pair of dark eyes, which reveal a cold, unfathomable feeling.
He's our Professor Snape, and in the books, he has a tragic character, a man standing behind Harry. This is really a successful man, and there must be a man who is silently dedicated.
Professor Snape said as he walked, "You've come here to learn the exact science and rigors of this potion brewing. His voice was a little low, but it was for everyone to hear his every word.
"Since there is no foolish waving of the wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic, and I don't expect you to truly comprehend the beauty of the simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance, and you will not really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the thrilling and disorienting magic...... I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death, but only if you are not the kind of fools and fools I often encounter. ”
After his short opening remarks, everyone fell silent, only to see Harry and Ron raise their eyebrows in disdain. Hermione almost moved to her chair and leaned forward, looking very anxious to prove that she wasn't a dumb fool.
Professor Snape then pulled out the parchment and began the roll call, stopping when it came to Harry Potter.
"Oh yes. He whispered, then his voice raised significantly, "Harry Potter, this is our new arrival, the famous man!"
Harry's face was too much for Snape's jealousy and hatred. His face was a mocking one, and being a T was more than enough.
Dudley looked at Harry's face and wanted to laugh, and Harry's face almost said - Who am I, where am I, what am I going to do?
"I think some of you had extraordinary abilities and enough self-confidence before you came to Hogwarts. Let's see. He said as he flicked his cloak and walked slowly towards Harry.
"Potter!" Snape suddenly asked, propping his hands on Harry's desk, "Tell me, what would I get if I added daffodil bulb powder to wormwood infusion?"
Harry was a little glad he had read the book with Dudley before school started, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to answer it.
But before Harry could answer, Hermione, who was sitting next to Dudley, was very eager to show herself, and she quickly raised her hand, expecting the professor to answer the question by name.
"Together, narcissus root powder and wormwood can be formulated into a very potent sleeping pill. It is often referred to as the water of life and death. Harry replied calmly.
Professor Snape was a little surprised that Harry would answer, but he said disdainfully, "Tsk, tsk, don't think that you can be proud of answering a question correctly. So, Potter, if I asked you to go and find me a piece of dungstone, where would you find it?"
Hermione tried to keep her seat from her seat, raising her hands even higher, as if she was stimulated by what Snape had started talking about as fools and fools, and she wanted to prove herself too much.
Harry remembered seeing this in A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms, and he smiled confidently, "Dung stone is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat, and it has a strong detoxifying effect. ”
Harry replied again, making Snape's expression even colder, his eyes staring at Harry like a viper, and said, "How confident and proud our Potter is, what is the difference between a scapular aconitum and a wolf venom aconite?"
Harry thought back for a moment, and he said with some staccato words, "Aconitum scaphilari and Aconitum lupus venom are the same plant, also collectively referred to as Aconitum aconitum. ”
Harry looked at Snape very proudly, and almost said, 'Sample, keep asking!'
"What can I use if I want to breathe underwater?" Snape asked with a dark face.
Hermione finally lowered her arm that she had raised for a long time, and she didn't know the answer to the question.
As soon as Dudley heard this question, he knew that Harry was going to be unable to answer it, and the answer was not in A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms at all. The answer to this question was gill grass, which Harry only used when he was in his fourth year. This question is too much of an excesse. Sure enough, Harry scratched his cheeks in a hurry, and he looked at Dudley for help.
Dudley turned his mouth to Harry, holding one hand to the side, trying to block Snape's view. Dudley opened his mouth in response, but didn't make a sound.
Harry replied with some humility, "It's the cheek grass." ”
"Mr. Potter, are you proud of answering the answers that have been told to you? It seems that your fame does not match the amount of knowledge you have! Obviously, fame alone is not enough, is it, Mr. Potter. ”
Then Snape looked at Dudley coldly and said, "Desley, because you told Potter the answer, Gryffindor deducted five points. ”
Dudley pursed his lips helplessly, he had thought it would be like this before he told Harry.
"So, Potter, how do you make a potion of invisibility? If you dare to make a small gesture in secret, then you can try to see the consequences of doing so. Snape continued to ask, apparently trying to ask Harry if he couldn't answer.
Even if Dudley tried to tell Harry the answer, he couldn't do it, and he didn't even know how to make the invisibility potion.
Harry was completely dumbfounded, but some people were dumbfounded and some people were excited, Hermione suddenly stood up, and accidentally bumped Dudley, her hand stretched out, eager to stab the professor's ceiling.
"I don't know. Harry said cautiously, "But, I suppose, Hermione knows the answer, so why don't you ask her?"
Several of the students couldn't hold back their laughter, and Snape felt unhappy that he had been provoked.
"Sit down. Snape yelled at Hermione.
Hermione was a little indignant and wanted to say something, but Dudley quickly pulled her and let Harry and Snape tangle her.
"Let me tell you, Potter, the Invisibility Potion requires the fur of the Invisibility Beast, the juice of the carrot, and the eyes of the Spider soaked in alcohol...... Why don't you write it all down?"
The little wizards were a little afraid of Professor Snape, and everyone hurriedly picked up a quill and wrote on the parchment, only Snape's voice and the rustle of writing in the classroom, and finally Snape said: "Potter, because of your arrogance, lack of progress, and rudeness in class, Gryffindor deducted five points because of you." ”
After this episode, Potions class continued, but the Gryffindor students were in a very bad situation, and Professor Nerve found various reasons to deduct the points of the Gryffindor lion cubs.
Finally, potions were made, and Snape divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix a simple potion to cure boils. Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them call dried nettles and smash snakes' fangs, and almost all the students were criticized, except for Malfoy, who seemed to be Snape's preferred student. Just as he showed everyone how perfect Malfoy's method of cooking tentacled slugs was, a loud hissing sound suddenly rose from the underground classroom with an acidic green smoke. Neville somehow burned Seamus's crucible into a crooked piece, and the potion from the cauldron spilled onto the stone floor, burning holes in his classmates' shoes. Within seconds, the class was on the stool, and Neville was drenched in potion when the cauldron was knocked over, and his arms and legs were covered in red, swollen boils, and he screamed in pain.
"Idiot!" Professor Snape snarled, waving his wand to sweep away the potion that had been spilled on the ground.
"I suppose you probably put the porcupine thorn in without opening the cauldron from the fire, did you?"
Neville sobbed and cried, and boils popped up on his nose.
"Send him to the hospital above. Snape snapped at Seamus. He then circled around Harry and Ron, who were right next to Neville. Snape started his 'It's all Potter's fault' and forced the pot to Harry, which was even sharper than Dudley's dumping: "Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine spurs? You think he made a mistake to show that you are good? Gryffindor lost five points because of you." ”
After class, the Gryffindor cubs were tortured by Professor Snape, and they almost came out of the underground classroom on their stomachs.
