Chapter 038 Potions Materials Assessment Turmoil

"I don't have anything good to say, with my understanding of the dean, he will definitely use the "Complete Collection of Potions Materials" as the topic material, there are 187345 materials in this book, and the relationship between them is intricate, I have only mastered 80% since I was three years old, and the only one who can master 100% is Catherine except for the dean." With that, Draco glared at the girl next to him with a complaining look.

"Catherine, what is your opinion?" Ixissi asked.

"I don't think I have a good opinion on this kind of thing," said Catherine apologetically, "because I've always been a direct rote memorizer, and my experience is not at all suitable for most people." ”

"Your experience is simply not for everyone, okay!" The surrounding Slytherins all complained in their hearts at the same time.

"However, I have a very ordinary Jianyì, maybe everyone should have thought of this Jianyì." Catherine's words once again attracted everyone's attention, "It is to summarize and compare all the materials mentioned in the "Complete Works of Potions Materials", so that you may be able to remember it faster." ”

"This is indeed a very ordinary building, but at the same time it is also the most effective construction at the moment, Draco," Ixissi looked at Young Master Platinum, "This matter is entrusted to you, how long will it take to get it done?" ”

"If Catherine can help, and a few more scribes, it should be done in a month." Draco replied after a moment's calculation, "But it's best for the scribe to be a master of magic, so that the material is easier to associate and remember." ”

"In that case—" Ixissi began to assign tasks, "Sister Tibert, you will make a list of the people you need for me, Senior Dulac, you are responsible for the tools you need, and the remaining four chiefs, please arrange a time for group study." ”

"Yes, Prefect!" The four heads of year responded in unison, while Kensaut and Stoko only nodded.

"Okay, that's all for today's internal meeting, please pay attention to the students who have been deducted points in the afternoon," Ixacey paused, and the person who was named immediately became apprehensive, "Remember to make up the scores, and it's best to use more attention in potions materials, maybe the dean will focus on you at the end of the semester." ”

In the afternoon, the people who had been deducted points were again depressed.

"Disband!" Ixissi stood up and announced loudly, "Draco, Catherine, come with me. ”

The two looked at each other quizzically, and followed Ixissiy into the most ornate door in the common room, "Silver-Crystal" - "SC" for short.

Behind the door is a richly decorated circular foyer with four doors, but only the leftmost one has a sign with the name of Ixissi.

"I'm the only one here for the time being, so only the men's prefect suite has a door number," Ixissi said, pointing around, "I'm opposite the women's prefect suite, and the rest are the two student council presidents." ”

"If you can be the president of the student council, won't you have to move?" Draco asked curiously.

"According to seniors who have had the honor of holding these two positions in succession, the castle will move the things in the suite directly behind the corresponding door, so if I can be the president of the student council, I won't have to move then." Ixissi explained with a smile.

"Oh!" Draco answered, but his eyes were fixed on the door of the boys' student council president, his fists clenched.

"What is the matter with Governor Ixisi looking for us?" After walking into the men's long suite, which was also extremely luxurious, Catherine asked straight to the point.

"First of all, congratulations on becoming Professor Snape's personal apprentice!"

"Why do you think I'm already the Dean's apprentice?" Catherine's face was bewildered.

"Because proficiency in potions materials is the entry point for Professor Snape's personal apprenticeship." Ixessi explained with a smile, "It's just that I didn't expect the dean to be optimistic about you a month ago. ”

"Actually, the first time I met Professor Snape," said Catherine with a smile, "was the day I first met you. ”

"Ugh!" Draco looked at Ixissi in surprise.

"I was about to leave Diagon Alley that day when I happened to run into Catherine. By the way," Ixissi suddenly looked at the girl with a strange expression, "Do you have any clues about your origins?" ”

"Except that I look really, really much like her," Catherine shrugged, "except that the clothes I wore when I was sent to the orphanage were stained with my mother's blood." ”

"It's not easy!" Ixissi pressed his chin and began to ponder, "I'm afraid no one has kept a sample of her blood right now!" ”

"Hey, do you know who she is?" Draco asked curiously.

"I can't tell you, after all, it's about the dean. But," Ixissia smiled and patted his head, "you can ask Mr. Malfoy, it's an open secret, after all. ”

"That's it!" Draco was eager to run back to the dorm room right now to find the Two-Way Mirror and contact his father, but seeing that Ixissi was obviously still on the move, he had to hold back.

"The second thing is that I'm curious about your armguards," Ixissi blinked, "Can you take a look?" ”

"Yes." Catherine pulls out her arm guards.

"Is this a papal thing?" Seeing the cross on the armguards, Ixissi asked.

"This is no ordinary papal item," Draco said after a moment's scrutiny, "it probably belongs to the Inquisition. ”

"It can't be, right?" Ixissi exclaimed.

"If you look closely, you will see that this cross is engraved with the dark lines of 'sword' and 'chain', which is the emblem of the Inquisition." Draco looked at Catherine with a gloomy face.

"It's just a gift from my martial arts teacher." Catherine said with a smile.

Ixissi wanted to ask, but Catherine showed that she didn't want to continue talking, so she had to give up. The trio began to discuss the science of potions materials, and it was not until the lights went out that Ixethi sent them away.

"Can I ask you one thing?" Upon reaching the stairs leading to the large living room of the first-year dormitory, Draco suddenly exclaimed, "Is your martial arts teacher really from the Inquisition?" ”

"It's useless if you knew," Catherine paused to look at him, "he's dead. ”

Draco was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"It's the 20th century, not the Middle Ages. If you always hold on to the old vision, you can't accept new things. With that, Catherine waved at Draco without waiting for him to react and went straight back to the dorm, "See you tomorrow, Draco." ”

Draco looked at her departing back and froze for a moment before whispering to himself, "Catherine, how many secrets do you have?" ”

The next day, according to the plan set by Ixissi, with Draco in command, Catherine in charge of the "Mobile Library", Kenshart leading the records, Lesterford leading the copying, and the other grade chiefs organizing collective learning, the whole Slytherin was moving quickly around the Complete Potions Materials.

Compared to the chaos and order of Slytherin, the other houses were chaotic.

Ravenclaw borrowed from Slytherin, but because they had the largest and most cluttered house library in Hogwarts, they would always look inside first, but the problem was that they found not one but seven, and each with a different focus, had to be reorganized.

Hufflepuff, on the other hand, was very self-aware, knowing that he was not the material to be organized, so he directly asked for the final version from Slytherin and Ravenclaw, and then began to memorize it.

As for Gryffindor, it was the most chaotic of the four houses, some were looking for connections to get materials, some were sorting it out by themselves, and some were holding a large book to recite directly, but they had no idea of uniting at all.

As a result, the library's "Complete Potions Materials", which was originally more than enough, was directly borrowed, but there were still many Gryffindors who received the news late, so Madame Pince had to submit an application to Dumbledore to purchase the "Complete Potions Materials".

After Dumbledore learned what was going on, he first called Professor McGonagall and asked her to organize Gryffindor, and then Snape to make the exam less difficult. After a "serious" discussion, Snape agreed that with the exception of fifth, sixth, and seventh graders who had taken potions, the rest of the grades would only be tested on the basics this year.

At this point, a storm of potions materials assessment that had caused a lot of trouble finally subsided temporarily.

The basic materials have been finalized by the various houses, and the senior students who are serious about Potions have basically gone through the "Complete Collection of Potions Materials", and what they need is to integrate it and turn it into their own knowledge.

As a result, the students' nervous spirits were relaxed for a while, and their attention began to turn to the upcoming Quidditch team selection, and although the first year could not participate in the auditions, they finally looked forward to the long-awaited flying lesson.

When Thursday morning, after the notice board posted that "Slytherin and Gryffindor first-year students have flying lessons together on Thursday afternoon", all the first-year students who had ridden the magic broomstick showed off their flying experience to their classmates.

Draco even went so far as to tell how he had escaped from a Muggle helicopter with a broomstick, until Catherine's ears were calloused.

"I remember that the Princes family seems to have a helicopter, because it was placed in Sri Lanka, and it was too late to auction it, so why don't I have someone drive it over, and then you can show us it!" Catherine looked expectantly at Draco, who was sitting across from her.

Draco knew very well that Catherine could absolutely do what she said, as long as he dared to agree, then even if the Princes family did not have a helicopter in Sri Lanka at all, she would buy one immediately, as for the limitation that electromagnetic supplies do not work within Hogwarts range, it is easier to solve, with their ability, can't they find a place where the helicopter can take off?

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that Master Malfoy, who was fortunate enough to see a helicopter, knew very well that even if he used the latest Barewheel 2000, it would be impossible to do what he said, so he didn't know how to answer for a long time.
