Chapter 17 There is no harm without contrast
After you have fame, you have the troubles and responsibilities that match your fame.
On Tuesday, a new issue of Transfiguration Today came out. The article co-signed by Saul and Professor McGonagall appeared in the newspaper.
Moreover, Thor's name is still in front.
This is nothing, the editor-in-chief also personally wrote a testimonial, introducing Saul, and praised Saul as "a rising star", "the wisdom of the sages has been inherited", "his ideas are at the forefront of the whole era", and "the future is immeasurable".
Along with the newspaper, there was also a letter of interview from the Daily Prophet, which was on Wednesday.
Saul had no experience with interviews and had to turn to Draco for help.
Draco generously explained some of the interview etiquette, the posture for the photo, and the answers to unexpected situations and tricky questions.
And reminded him that if it was Rita Skit, he had to be careful.
After this morning, Draco wrote a letter to his father, asking him to help him ask who was coming to interview Sol tomorrow.
If it's Rita, then please tell the newspaper and book Rita the best doctor and the best bed in the Spell Damage Unit at St. Mungo's Hospital. And arrange a backup reporter.
Professor McGonagall just gave Thor a smile and took her pumpkin juice and gave him a toast, to which Thor responded with a smile.
Wednesday's interview didn't cause much of a stir, and it wasn't Rita who came, but a reporter who seemed to be a newcomer.
Newcomers also have the benefits of newcomers, and the questions asked are not too tricky and weird, but they still faithfully reflect Thor's study and life.
Of course, it is inevitable that professors and classmates will be interviewed.
The professors were unanimous in their praise of Thor, and the students, under the explicit hints of the descendants of the great nobles led by Draco, did not say anything that should not be said.
In the end, Saul is a good boy who loves learning and magic, although he is a bit withdrawn and likes to be alone. However, this is also one of the common problems of masters, and it is not unacceptable.
At noon on this day, a clever raven flew into the Great Hall for dinner, and after scanning the circle with its attentive eyes, he locked on to his target, and dropped a box behind Thor, while he stopped on the table and called for Thor to notice it.
Thor did notice it, untied the letter from its feet, and didn't bother Thor to ask for money, just looked at the bacon that Thor had set aside.
"Eat! I don't eat it either, this one is too greasy. Thor saw it staring at the bacon, placed the plate in front of the raven, and opened the letter it had sent.
The letter was written to him by the Potions Store. The box contained the materials he had ordered, and the raven was a messenger that had been bought for him, a price for an owl, and an expression of long-term cooperation.
There was no class in the first class in the afternoon, and Saul carried the box straight to the Room of Requirement, where he hadn't been in days.
However, the room that belonged to Thor was kept clean and tidy.
The cauldron was lit with a wand, and Thor did not use any of the potions refining techniques in Potions class, but instead used a unique way of refining them. After weighing enough portions, Thor began purifying.
This allows potions to take shape more quickly. Saul knew that there wasn't much time left for him. The high-intensity study has made him feel that he is already a little physically exhausted, and his magic power can't keep up.
It is imperative to make a medicine that strengthens the body. By the way, he also has to add a magic potion, even if this thing can't be drunk too much, he must prepare these things.
So, Thor didn't show up in the library again, much to the disappointment of many people who wanted to see him in the library.
In Potions class, Professor Snape took out the treatment of Harry Potter, treated Thor once, and asked a full seven questions, some of which were only available in the textbooks of the senior grades, and some of which were not in the textbooks at all, and were very important, and even asked Thor to memorize a Potions formula on the spot!
Merlin's pants! Rao is a Ravenclaw, and some of the young eagles don't know the answers to those questions. However, it was difficult for Saul, and Saul answered fluently.
When it came time to make the potion, Thor's cauldron was placed in front of the podium, in the first row, and Professor Snape asked Thor to make a potion independently, not what they had asked for in this lesson, but a potion that was not in the book.
It was supposed to be an undisguised difficulty, but Thor accepted the challenge and did it so well that he handed in the potion even half an hour before class ended.
Professor Snape gave Saul an "O" on the spot, the highest rating. I was still in a good mood and wrote a lot of things in Thor's notebook and appeared! Appeared! Saul and the professors' magical way of communicating!
According to people who have seen Saul's notebook, Saul and the professors are communicating in a different language entirely, which is good English, but they can't understand it at all.
Take Potions class as an example! In addition to the potion formula and the name of the herb, there are some symbols and letters, which look like abbreviations for something.
That's what they can do.
Thor finally gets a warning from Professor Snape: "You have to stay that way, you can't think that if you have fame, you have everything." Who you are, I think, you yourself should know very well! ”
"How do you know?" Saul thinks that he has always pretended to be very good, very low-key, and has not had much contact with Harry Potter, and his daily life is the four points and the line.
"The letter you wrote, with the fire paint mark on the back, tells us who you are. You're different from Harry Potter, you're good that way. Professor Snape stared at Thor.
Thor bit his lip and thanked him, and left the Potions classroom with the same firm steps as ever.
On Friday, the Gryffindor lion cubs, specifically Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, received special attention from Professor Snape.
At the beginning, he had Hermione answer a series of the same questions as Thor, yes, the original question! However, Hermione had only answered four questions correctly, and as for the potion formula, Hermione was confused.
"Miss Know-it-all, I'm sorry, Saul answered these questions yesterday as well, and he answered them exactly right." Professor Snape certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and as for the deduction of points, of course, it was "because of Miss Know-It-All's ignorance, Gryffindor deducted five points." Also, Miss Jack-of-all-trades, what about your paper? ”
Thesis, Hermione remembered this and didn't know what to say. She thought about it for a moment, but still said, "I'm sorry professor, I don't know how to write." ”
"Then when will you know, you will leave it to me again, before the Christmas holidays. I can only wait until you are then, and Thor will not wait long for you. ”
After striking Hermione again, Professor Snape's gaze shifted to Harry's. "Our Mr. Savior, who seems to be a little out of name, tell me, what color should it be? What color is your potion? ”
Harry didn't say a word, no doubt, and was deducted five more points.
As for the Slytherins, with Thor in front, even Draco was not spared being criticized for the wrong method, and moreover, Slytherin was also deducted three points!
Unprecedented, unprecedented! Professor Snape, in Potions class, actually deducted Slytherin's points, or Draco's!
"Listen, when Snape mentions Thor, he always calls him by his name, not by that weird Slater. Could it be that Thor was his apprentice? Ron asked the question as soon as he got out of class.
Draco walked past them with a blushing face, "My dad said that Thor was not Professor Snape's apprentice, and that Professor Snape wasn't even qualified to teach Thor. Professor Snape said this himself. ”
