Potions is one of several compulsory courses, and has always been a major subject that requires the two houses to be combined.

Today, the Potions class at Gryffindor House and Slytherin House was scheduled for 3 or 4 hours in the morning. As everyone rushed to the Potions classroom in the basement after the previous class, the students of the same house were talking to each other.

The other students found out a little later than Harry, but it wasn't long. When breakfast time was over, notices of the change of professors were posted on the foyer and the common rooms of the four faculties.

To be honest, this announcement conveys to everyone more than just the news of a change of professor. When the young wizards learned about it, both the Gryffindors and the Slytherins had mixed feelings.

The whole of Hogwarts knew that Snape, as the head of Slytherin House, was not an ordinary partiality towards the students of his house. In addition to the bias of the teaching itself, the rewards and punishments are all for the benefit of the little snakes, and the most unlucky ones are always the little lions.

This has not changed since Snape became professor, and there has been a clear tendency to change in recent years, mainly in the years since Harry entered the school.

But now, just today, the Potions professor has finally changed!

It stands to reason that this change was a great one, and all three other houses, with the exception of Slytherin, would be cheering on the arrival of the new Potions class.

However, although there are people who show happiness, they are all acute children who have not carefully read the content of the announcement. None of the students who actually read the announcement could laugh.

Because, Snape actually ran to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts class!

Right now, the fifth-year students of Gryffindor and Slytherin were still dragging their way to the Potions classroom.

The Gryffindors were both happy and depressed, for the next Potions lesson would not have to stir the cauldron against Snape's gloomy face. Unfortunately, the Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon should be careful.

The Slytherins were both depressed and happy that their esteemed Professor Snape was going to teach them some real defensive charms...... Well, probably, right?

As I said, the Potions classroom was in the basement of the main fort - it was a corridor with no other entrance, and the two houses were bound to run into each other as they descended the stairs.

So, the little lions and the little snakes suddenly glared at each other in the slightly dark corridor of the basement, and neither side gave in. It's just that Draco, who has always been the main firepower, didn't make any provocative moves this time, which couldn't help but make both sides a little uncomfortable.

Although Draco's level of ridicule has been declining in the past two years, which has affected the overall level of Slytherin House, it is not as silent as it is now, right?

"Draco, what's wrong with you?" The girl next to him was Pansy Parkinson, who looked a little confused, "Your godfather is no longer a Potions professor, but he has changed to a better Defence Against the Dark Arts class?" Shouldn't you be happy? ”

But Draco just shook his head, the ends of his golden hair swaying gently in front of his eyes, obscuring his vision in half, making it impossible to see his eyes at the moment.

A moment later, as soon as they stepped into the classroom, they saw something they would never have seen in a potions class in the past.

Gone were the neatly arranged rectangular desks, replaced by round potions dispensing tables. The chairs in the classroom have been largely removed, except for a row of desks at the back that can be accessed as needed.

After all, it was a Potions classroom, and it was still a bit dim, because some potions needed to be prepared without the interference of extra light. However, the four walls of the original brick walls are hung with exquisite tapestries for decoration, and several magical portraits taken from the famous potions master bring considerable vitality and vitality to the place.

This Potions classroom is finally not as lifeless as it used to be!

And most notably, the new professor got a lot of fluorescent white stamens out of nowhere and planted them in clumps on the surrounding ledges. The specks of light that emanated from the stamens replaced the original shimmering magic lamp, giving the entire professor a mysterious feeling.

"Come in, kids! Come on in! In this first class, Slughorn put on an amiable posture and greeted the students who were walking inside, "Four people or a group of five, you can choose your favorite round table, you can ...... Yes, just stand, I'll talk about that in a moment...... What the? Three people? It's okay, I think I'd better have enough preparation tables......"

The first impression of such a unique class is quite fresh. Of course, in addition to the freshness, the satisfying degree of freedom also creates a very good mood for everyone.

Whether it's Gryffindor or Slytherin, it's actually quite the same opinion on this point. It's just that most of the little lions showed it with laughter, while the little snakes suppressed their happiness in their hearts, but on the surface they put on a look of "barely qualified".

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you've all seen the announcement on the bulletin board. That's right, I'm your new Potions professor, Horace Slughorn. ”

The old man drew his wand and waved, and his name immediately appeared on the blackboard behind him. The font is the same as the character he expresses, it is very gorgeous and at the same time a little playful, and it is a beautiful flower font.

After that, he smiled and nodded at everyone, and continued: "First of all, I must explain the problem of the chair to everyone, or the young gentlemen and ladies will probably blame me behind my back......"

Slughorn paused slightly, as some of the Gryffindor students chuckled softly. They all thought that the old man seemed to be very talkative, and that he was.

“…… Actually," he continued, "we know that potions are complicated to prepare. When we need to stay around the crucible and mix and mix, it's always a bit overwhelming, because there are always guys who like to create some very tight preparation techniques. ”

At this, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"So, whenever we're with the crucible, it's basically not about sitting down. Trust me, it's a bit hard, especially when you're not paying attention to your workouts! ”

"That's why, in order for us to have more leg strength, I have to have you stand with me during class." Slughorn pursed the corners of his lips and made an innocent expression, "Yes, I'll have to stand too—voila, let's get to stand together!" ”

Before these words fell, many students secretly laughed, and for a while, the atmosphere in the classroom became more and more harmonious.

"Professor!" A Gryffindor schoolgirl suddenly spoke, "Did you set up the flowers in the classroom?" They look so pretty! ”

Slughorn heard this, but only shook his head slightly, and the smile on his face looked a little mysterious.

"You'll know who set it up right away," he said, "and now I'll have the special guest for this class, Mr. Macka McLean, the youngest professor at Hogwarts!" ”

As these words sounded, a tall figure walked in from the door, but his appearance was exciting.

Not to mention that Maca's level of potions is also very high, and the recent events have made his reputation in the wizarding world grow. For these young wizards who are still chasing stars, such a celebrity who has watched him step by step step to the top makes them more excited than other famous wizards.

"It would be great if I could decorate the white blossom bush in the classroom for everyone to like." Maca blinked, then walked to the front of the classroom and stood still, "But actually, they also have a mission today......

He pointed to the fluorescent white stamens and explained briefly: "Since this student mentioned them first, I will say one more thing in advance—the brilliance emitted by the fluorescent white stamens can make the reaction process more stable when preparing the vitality tonic, and then everyone can calmly stir the Ariot leaves." ”

"What a worthy Professor McLean who has amazed the entire European wizarding community," Slughorn duly complimented, "Look! I have just arrived and introduced a new preparation technique for everyone! Let me start by saying that there is no such trivia in the book! ”

With that, he suddenly turned around and pointed at the blackboard with his wand outstretched. Suddenly, the name that had appeared on the blackboard quietly disappeared, and then a line of letters appeared.

"Today we're going to talk about the last must-learn potion of the semester, which is called 'Vitality Tonic'. As its name suggests, it is an elixir that replenishes and boosts the vitality of the drinker, and at the same time, it is also a very practical elixir......"

At this time, Slughorn gave up his initial easy-goingness, and his tone became serious and serious. It can be seen that although he is a bit of a person, he has enough piety in his professional field.

Maca stood sideways on the side, watching the bald old man concentrate on the specific lesson, and couldn't help but see a shadow similar to Dumbledore.

Dumbledore also started as a professor, and he was also employed at the same time as Slughorn. Perhaps Albus Dumbledore once stood in front of the blackboard like him, teaching all kinds of metamorphosis to the young wizards in a classroom?

“…… When he was able to be the head of Slytherin House in the first place, it was naturally genuine. Maca sighed secretly.
