Chapter 217: The Seniors' Experience in Potions Class
The next morning, Hermione Granger, who had been crying tired the night before, was extremely rare to be in bed, even though it was theoretically the first day of school at Hogwarts.
When Elena was awakened by the good biological clock she had cultivated in the orphanage, Miss Beaver was still reluctantly curled up under the covers, motionless as if sealed in bed by magic...... Even if the quilt she wrapped around her body has been taken away by Elena beside her.
"Get up, Hermione. β
"Let me sleep a little longer, just five minutes. β
The brown-haired little Lori squirmed and struggled twice on the soft bed, stretched out her hand to grab the quilt in the air with half-closed eyes, raised her head from the pillow with a blank expression, pulled up a crystal silk thread between the corner of her mouth and the pillow, and then fell back on the pillow in less than half a second, muttering that she wanted to continue sleeping.
Well, it looks like we're going to have to make a big move.
Elena sighed helplessly, simply took down the clock decorated with kittens (little lions) on the bedside dresser, dialed it back for an hour, put it in front of Hermione, pushed the girl, and then said in a slightly anxious voice.
"Don't stay in bed, Hermione, we'll be late if we don't get up. It's your first day of class. β
Late? What time......
When poor little Hermione opened her eyes again and swept the clock on the pillow, and saw that the time had unconsciously moved to half past eight, the whole person bounced out of bed almost at once, jumped out of bed barefoot, and hurriedly began to wash upβfor Hermione, who was expecting to be an honor student, being late for the first day of class could not have been worse.
By the time she hastily put on her Gryffindor robes, Hermione's unkempt brown hair was trying to tie her tie, and her somewhat chaotic brain finally began to wake up, and the girl suddenly stopped what she was doing, staring at the white-haired balls who were sitting on the bed unhurriedly playing with the clock.
"Elena, what are you doing?"
"Of course, it's time to turn it around, otherwise it won't be good to forget it later. β
Elena shrugged her shoulders and explained calmly, "Why are you still looking at me? aren't you going to comb your hair today?"
While speaking, the mixed-race little Meiwa raised her hand and gently stroked the long silver hair on her shoulder, only to see the girl's waterfall-like silver hair instantly hanging neatly behind her, and the look on her face was self-evident.
β......β
Hermione, who looked like a lion cub with her hair blown up, twitched the corners of her eyes, looked down at the socks on her feet that were worn in different heights because of her hurry, and then looked at the other girls around her who were still asleep, and her eyebrows jumped slightly...... Then, jump again.
"Kaslana, you're going to die today!"
In the next second, without the slightest hesitation, Hermione waved the golden-red tie in her hand that had not yet been ununtied, and pounced towards the white-haired balls with a stinky expression on the bed, and scratched Elena's waist accurately with both hands - she always remembered that Elena's waist was super sensitive, and when she accidentally touched it the previous time, Elena almost fell to the ground directly.
"Haha...... Don't touch my waist, be careful of me biting!"
"White-haired dumplings, you just broke your throat today, and I won't let it go...... Don't touch anywhere!"
Accompanied by the cheerful screams and slapsticks of the girls, the rest of the lion cubs who were originally asleep also woke up with their eyes rubbed, or sat on the bed in a daze, or looked at the two little Loli who were playing with interest.
The vast majority of Gryffindor students were not surprised by Elena's sudden appearance.
In fact, since Elena led the Hufflepuff House into a fight with Slytherin, her popularity in Gryffindor House is nothing short of high compared to the mixed reviews in Hufflepuff House. Both the Gryffindor boys and girls were impressed by the legendary first-year witch who had knocked over dozens of (well, rumors, of course) Slytherin Quidditch team members head-on.
Not to mention, since Professor McGonagall cast her magic to conjure up a bed for Elena in the girls' dormitory, in the eyes of many Gryffindor House wizards, Elena has actually become a complete Gryffindor - but because of her super ability to break into trouble, she accidentally slipped into the Badger House (Hufflepuff House).
"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time. β
"What a hard mouth, I don't even have the strength to use it. β
After the two of them fought on the bed for a while, Hermione, who was a little thin-skinned, finally failed to continue to fight with Elena on the bed under the watchful eyes of many senior sisters, and after snorting lightly as a truce signal, she stood up and walked to the dressing mirror, and began to rearrange her clothes and deal with her messy bow tie.
I have to say that after this fight, all the bitterness that was originally frustrated in Hermione's heart was vented, even if the rest of the students in the same grade continued to alienate her in the following time, she felt that it was not so caring and uncomfortable.
"Speaking of which, I almost got tricked by you just now - we Gryffindor first year have no classes in the morning, and our first class on Monday won't start until the afternoon herb class. Elena, you're different, aren't you?"
"Well, my main class schedule is still at Hufflepuff House's pace. β
Elena, who was still sitting on the bed, nodded, took out the class schedule from the pocket of her robe hanging on the chair and looked at it, "The first and second periods are Potions classes, and the two classes are a whole morning, with Ravenclaw. β
"Potions lessons?"
An upperclasswoman in the next bed cupped her left arm curiously and said with a sympathetic face, "The first class of school was Professor Snape's Potions class, you guys are so pitiful." I'd suggest you don't wear this Gryffindor house robe, or you might be a Potions sacrifice on the first day of Hogwarts. β
"What's wrong with Potions class? β
Hermione, who was changing her clothes, couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she heard this.
Even according to the schedule, they wouldn't have until Friday morning for their first Potions class. However, this did not prevent her from being frightened by the gloomy tone in the mouth of the senior Arya.
"Because that's Professor Snape: the Head of Slytherin, the holder of the record for the highest cumulative score deduction from Gryffindor House in the history of Hogwarts. In our experience, so far, there has been no Gryffindor who has not been deducted too much from his class. β
Arya said with a serious face, her tone a little helpless and frustrated.
"Why?" Hermione asked curiously, feeling completely illogical, "Even if it's a school professor, it's impossible to arbitrarily deduct a student's points for no reason." As long as we work hard to do a good job ......"
"Impossible. β
Hearing the conversation of several people, Angelina Johnson, who had just returned from the bathroom after washing, the tall Angelina Johnson shook her head and said unceremoniously, "For example, once you make a mistake in the configuration of potions, then as long as he finds out, you will inevitably be deducted from one point to five points." β
"There is nothing to complain about this, it can only show that Professor Snape is more demanding. Hermione spread her hands.
"That's true, but even if you don't have operational problems, there are all sorts of reasons to deduct points. For example, if the classmates around you make a mistake, sometimes you will be deducted pointsβ"
Arya recalled slightly, her face a little ugly, and her lips curled up to imitate Snape's tone:
"'Why didn't you think to remind your classmates to avoid such a low-level operational mistake?' Do you think that it is a good thing to brag about using the mistakes of your classmates to set off your own success?' Then, even if it was Slytherin House that made the mistake, it was usually Gryffindor who was sitting next to him who would be deducted points. β
"So, as long as we remind the students around us in time, so that everyone can clear the customs smoothly. Hermione looked around at the seniors with solemn faces around her, blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
"'Don't talk to each other in my class, Gryffindor deducts five points. This was already the best outcome, after all, for a girl, Professor Snape was relatively mild. β
Angelina said with a look of trepidation, "If it's a boy, like George and Fred, you can ask later how many times they've been hit by Professor Snape's head." β
As the girls talked, more and more Gryffindor seniors gathered and scrambled to spread the horrors of the Potions professor to the surrounding Gryffindor freshmen.
"Not only that, but especially remembering not to ask the questions that the professor had said before. Otherwiseβ'Didn't you just listen to me?' because you don't concentrate, and you're going to waste the precious time of the class.'" Naturally, Professor Snape would answer the relevant questions, but after some explanations, the deduction of points was almost 100%. β
"But if you don't ask questions, you will be deducted points, you forgot, there was a time when we all agreed not to ask a single question, and in the end, before the end of the class, we were all labeled as arrogant, and the entire class of Gryffindors was deducted five points. β
β......β
"Well, that's what it says...... If there is a problem, it will die, and if there is no problem, it will die. Asking questions is death, not asking questions is death, and then the people around you had better go the same way, otherwise, reminding is death, not reminding is death?"
Elena scratched her cheeks, summing up the experience of the Gryffindor seniors, and hesitating to change her clothes into Hufflepuff uniforms.
So, it seems like the only way to do that is to find a way to mix up a Slytherin uniform and change it into a lab coat before Potions class?
Wait a minute...... Not necessarily.
Elena looked down at the golden lion on her chest, and then at the little beaver whose expression was close to collapse, if she remembered correctly, according to the plot of the original book, since Harry entered the school, at least in the previous school years, Gryffindor would be 100% successful in the final House Cup because of the partiality of an unscrupulous headmaster.
So according to this logic, as long as she wears Gryffindor's house uniform, she can actually rest assured and bold to tease the professors of various subjects - anyway, no matter how many points are deducted, Dumbledore will find a way to add it back...... That's how it should be, right?
If you think about it carefully, why did you suddenly have a strong desire to make trouble by breaking the jar.
