Chapter 12: Poor Spots (Recommend, Collect)
Then, watching Harry gradually close himself under Snape's repeated questioning, Ivan remembered a conjecture he had seen in his previous life.
Each of the questions Snape asked Harry had a deeper meaning.
The most obvious is the Latin word for asphodel, which means "My regrets follow you to the grave".
Wormwood, on the other hand, often has connotations of pain and regret.
It was hard for Ivan to imagine what kind of emotions Snape had when facing Harry, with a gloomy face and bitter hatred.
Guilt over leaking information that led to Lily's death? Or is it the deep affection of knowing that your lover is dead and willing to die together?
Thinking like this, Ivan's eyes gradually became a little more pity.
"Ivan Hals!" Or noticing that something was wrong with Ivan's way of looking at him, Snape turned his wand and pointed at Ivan after forcing Harry to ask three questions.
"Now you answer these three questions!"
Ivan was stunned at first, not expecting Snape to ask himself a question, but quickly reacted and replied.
"When the powder of daffodils is added to the juice of wormwood, it gives water of life and death, which is a powerful sleeping pill,.. The bezoar is in the stomach of the cow, while the scaphoid aconitum and the lupus venom aconitum refer to the same plant. ”
Ivan, who has read the original book, will certainly not be stumped by these three questions, but Ivan is also a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that Snape will ask other questions.
Although Ivan had read the Potions textbook several times before taking Potions class, Snape was clearly not going to follow the routine, and none of the three questions he had asked Harry were what he should learn in a first year.
[Ding, you answered the difficult questions carefully prepared by the professor in class, answered the questions three times, the correct rate was 100%, and the grade point was rewarded with 9 points...]
An unexpected system sound sounded in Ivan's head.
Ivan's face instantly changed from worry to surprise and then to ecstasy, and all his original worries were thrown aside.
Come! Despite the question, a frown will count me as losing!
Ivan looked at Snape with a resolute face, a true warrior is never afraid of any challenge!
It's best to come up with ten questions and eight questions, Ivan doesn't believe that he can't answer a single question, and it is a little bit to add a little grade point...
Ivan's face-changing skills impressed the young wizards.
However, to Ivan's surprise, Snape didn't even look at him, but turned his head and mocked Harry with a blank face.
"Hear that, Potter? It seems that not every young wizard who has just entered the school is as stupid and ignorant as you..."
"Professor, I.." Harry stood up angrily and tried to retort, but Snape simply interrupted Harry's words
"Potter! Because of your performance... Gryffindor deducted a point! ”
As if reading a verdict, Snape turned around and continued to teach without mercy, while Harry was pulled desperately by Ron, and his white cheeks were flushed with anger.
Ivan, who was just ready to face Snape's troubles, was a little inexplicable in the face of such a snub, and after glancing at Harry apologetically, he had to continue listening to the lecture with peace of mind.
Looking forward to when Snape continues to make things difficult for himself...
Unfortunately for Ivan, Snape seemed to have forgotten about him in the next lesson, and apart from occasionally taking the time to scold the little wizards who had made the wrong move, he only had a strong interest in Harry.
Like a magnet of iron, he roamed around Harry, his hollow eyes scrutinizing every step of Harry's potion-making, and the slightest mistake was a taunt that covered his face.
Ron, who was sitting next to Harry, was also unlucky, and the rat spots he was carrying with him were searched by Snape, and the guinea pig with his tail designated as the effect of the experimental potion in public, Ron almost cried on the spot.
When he learned of his fate, the speckled cry was a miserable...
If it weren't for Neville's accidental burning through the cauldron at the end, Snape would have been forced to drink a yellow potion of made by Ron with unknown composition.
Ivan glanced at Spotted, who was slumped on the table, with a slightly sympathetic look, and lamented that Peter Pettigrew had been unlucky, and that he had already been frightened twice in only a few days since he came to school.
An hour of Potions class is nothing short of torment for most young wizards, and they rush out of the dungeon after class.
"Oh my God, how could Dumbledore hire Snape to be a professor, he almost killed Spotted!" After the Potions class, Ron angrily tried to smash the wall while calming the still shivering Spot.
Harry nodded in agreement, standing on the same front as Ron, who was so clearly targeted in the first class of school that no one could bear it.
Harry couldn't understand why Snape hated him so much.
"Harry, if you could read more books before class, you wouldn't be unable to answer Professor Snape's question." Hermione, however, had a different idea, looked at Ivan after speaking, and continued.
"Just like Ivan, Professor Snape just knows that Ivan can answer, so he doesn't bother him."
Hermione's praise made Ivan a little embarrassed, and if he didn't know the plot, he might not be able to answer Snape's question.
"Hermione, not everyone can memorize the Potions books within a few days of school, and besides, the questions Snape asked Harry weren't in the first-year textbooks." Ivan sighed.
Hermione pursed her lips and didn't refute, because she also saw Snape's actions in Potions class today, but she was used to obeying the law and obeying the professor's arrangement, so she would help say a few words of defense when Ron was spraying.
Ron and Harry were very unhappy with Hermione's behavior of helping Snape speak, and the three of them walked awkwardly, thanks to Ivan's persuasion, and finally dispelled the guilt of the three before they reached Hagrid's cabin.
"Hagrid, we're coming to see you!"
Harry stepped forward and knocked on the door, and then the group of four heard dogs barking and running from inside the house, and before long the door was opened, and a huge figure came out of the house.
"Harry, you're coming, come in," Hagrid greeted Harry warmly, reassuring his restless big dogtooth.
Ivan followed Harry into the hut.
There was only one room in the whole house, and the layout was a bit cluttered, with lots of dried meat and ham hanging by the window, and a large stove in front of it. A kettle of boiling water was boiling on the stove, and the patched bed was placed on the right against the wall.
