Snape was very conflicted right now, yes, probably the most conflicted he had been teaching Potions for more than a decade.

The thrill of revenge and the remorse that welled up from the bottom of his heart were intertwined, and he continued to torment Snape's heart like a chronic poison. This made him extremely uneasy and anxious......

The mood that has been suppressed by hard work is swelling rapidly, if you don't do something about it.

…………

"Do you have a big in your head! Mr. Thomas? ”

Snape stood next to Dean, his features twisted together. Dean looked like he was going to be stupefied. "I just said that ten minutes ago! Don't pile dried nettles and alfalfa grass together! Look at that lump in your pot! I dare say that if you continue to play like this, your crucible will explode to the sky in less than half a minute! ”

The laughter of the Slytherins rang out all around, and Dean lowered his head, blushing and purple.

Snape roared unrelentingly, and seemed to see the spat flying. With the swing of the wand, the gray mass of melted rubber in Dean's cauldron vanished into thin air.

"Potions is a rigorous discipline! It's not a realm that any muscular dumb with an empty head can set foot in! Redo it! If you haven't provided a reciprocal sample before class, you know what to expect! ”

He snorted and dragged his long black cloak to the next table, and then, as expected, two or three minutes later, Snape's grumpy voice rang out at Lavender's table.

“…… Professor: What's wrong with him today? ”

Brandi could faintly hear Slytherin's incredulous muttering behind him.

Yes, at first, the little snakes could still gloat over the tragic events that happened in Gryffindor, after all, I heard the seniors say that this was the case in Potions classes in the past, and Snape, who was very biased, would almost always give small shoes to the students of other houses. And will turn a blind eye to the small mistakes of the little snakes.

It was only a few minutes later that the little snakes began to panic and found that the head of the branch seemed to be in a particularly bad mood today. And it's not just Gryffindor...... So far, all the students have been criticized!

"So what's next......"

Snape paced from the long table on his left, a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Brandi down there? Mr. Barton and Hermione? Miss Granger...... Oh, yes. It's you two ......."

Snape had already inquired about Harry before class, at least he knew that Brandi was Harry's best friend, which gave Snape the impression of the damn bigfoot and moon face next to the pointed fork! And Hermione was at least an acquaintance of Harry's. According to the principle of hating the house, Snape had already made up his mind to make it difficult for the two of them and scare this girl into tears? Well, that's a good idea.

With such joy in his heart, he looked at their crucible. It's good, the contents obviously don't match the image of the scabies potion, the scabies potion is supposed to be light blue, but the liquid in their crucible is really transparent. It's like ...... It's like nothing was added?!

Ha? Snape looked over a little confused, and sure enough, the required medicinal materials were still neatly sorted on Brandy's side, and they had already undergone very standard processing. The grinding of the powder of the snake's tooth is not faulty at all. The water in the cauldron had obviously been boiling for a long time...... But the two didn't do it for a long time.

"What are you two doing?" He asked irritably, "It sees, Miss Granger, you're in charge of the boiling operation!" After all the medicinal materials are processed, you still don't do it? Sit-in demonstration?! Are you expressing your displeasure with me? Yes? ”

He happened to be standing next to Hermione at the moment, and the roar made Hermione's body tremble, obviously frightened.

Because I'm still having an awkward relationship with Brandi, it's definitely impossible for me to work with him, after all, if I take the initiative to reconcile, I feel ashamed just thinking about it, I'm a girl, and girls are privileged!! So when Brandi occupied the table and weighed the herbs for cutting and grinding, Hermione had been gambling on the side, wanting to see Brandi make some mess, so that she could comment on him with a big advantage, and Brando is a guy who has a clear distinction between public and private, and he will definitely apologize if he thinks about it~

At this time, you can pretend to forgive him generously, and then pretend to accidentally mention what happened yesterday just because you are worried about your friends, no! It's the safety of your classmates! Mmmm, so that the contradiction is solved, and it is better to be able to speak normally!

Hey! Perfectly planned! It's really a little happy to think about it~ At that time, Hermione was still thinking so beautifully.

She herself knows that her character is not very good, to put it bluntly, she manages too much, and she is a little too arrogant, so until now her friends are only a few people, and she cherishes each of her friends. And Brandi certainly counts as one. Because he is one of the few boys who can listen to his preaching calmly. Of course, it is my own unilateral opinion...... When he meets, chats, he always addresses Miss Granger, who is always polite but makes him feel very distant!

Hmm, okay...... If it weren't for the fact that he was a little nosy, he called Professor McGonagall to confiscate his wand. That's a wand...... The most important thing for a wizard. Last night, she almost couldn't control her desire to apologize several times.

Hmph, absolutely not, Miss Ben loses if she speaks first!

………………

As a result, who knows, Brandi, who usually takes classes so so-so and feels extremely ordinary, is so talented in potions. In less than forty minutes, Brandi had already put the ingredients together perfectly, and he even had the time to notice that the viper tooth powder would slowly reduce its effectiveness in the air, so he deliberately added a layer of tin foil to the flask where the viper tooth powder was stored and temporarily sealed it. Didn't you notice any problems at all......

Seeing Brandy's rightful expression, Hermione just clenched her small fists, her teeth itching.

What a person! I don't even know how to let it!

However, when Brandi looked over, Hermione still tried to calm down, she puffed out her chest, pretended to snort coldly, and began to look seriously at the dense operation steps on the blackboard. After the start of the boiling, she needed to operate at the exact time, and it was easy to go wrong if she did it while watching the steps like the other groups, so she decided to write them down first.

It's just inexplicable, why did it become the way it is...... I just want to memorize the operation steps, how can it become a demonstration!

Listening to Professor Snape's seemingly endless sarcasm and mockery, Hermione, who was full of grievances, did not dare to explain, she lowered her head and said nothing, and crystal tears could be faintly seen in her reddish eyes.

"Okay~ Miss Granger, Gryffindor will deduct five points for your actions," Snape played with his wand in his hand, a malicious smile on his face. "The reason is that you are disrespectful to the teacher~ In addition, if you still don't plan to apologize to me, you will probably be locked up with Mr. Barton, I remember that there is a pot of swamp lizards in the classroom that needs to be skinned, and I will be glad that someone will help me."

……

The classroom was silent, and the young Gryffindor wizards glared at Snape, but no one dared to speak.

Hermione shuddered, she was silent for a moment, and finally opened her mouth...... "Professor Snape, I'm ......"

"I think you're probably mistaken, Professor Snape."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from beside him, and as the sound of moving the stool sounded, a figure blocked her view to the right, and he stood up.

"We were just surprised to find that your mastery of Potions is unfathomable." Brandi stood up, fearless in the face of Snape's exasperated eyes. "I've found that the steps in the book are a bit more cumbersome than the steps on your blackboard. As a scabies potion for beginners, the formula and process are inherently mature, but you can still optimize it on a small scale. It was a great admiration for me and Miss Granger......"

Glancing at Hermione's red-eyed eyes and look of surprise. Brandi sighed softly with mixed feelings. "So, Miss Granger is going to memorize the steps taught to you, and then try to complete the process perfectly. If you have any misunderstanding about this, please understand......"

He bent down and bowed cordially to Professor Snape.

There was silence in the classroom, not even breathing, and Harry and Ron looked in shock at Brandi, who bowed down and apologized, mouthing duck eggs.

It's too late! Brandy, who has always been strong, actually apologized to Snape for Hermione?!

They were still in the cold war yesterday, and Harry had already decided that they would never get along with each other in the future!

…………

Snape didn't look happy at Brandy's sycophancy, and he stared at Brandy's eyes in anger, as if he didn't expect someone among the freshmen to dare to talk back to him. After a while, he suddenly laughed angrily. "Alright, Mr. Barton...... I have to admit that you are very eloquent. ”

"Since you said Miss Granger was able to make the perfect scabies potion, let's give you two a demonstration! Just to be clear, I'm sorry if there's something about your potion that I can't look through......"

Snape glared at Hermione's panicked face and yelled.

"Confinement! Trust me, I'll make you spit out when you see a lizard in the future! ”

"As you wish, Professor Snape,......" Brandi replied without humility or arrogance, and Snape snorted coldly, turned to the next table, and scolded the two little snakes behind them.

……

He actually ...... Speak for me?

Hermione looked at Brandi, who was sitting down slowly, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

"Why?"

Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, almost to the point that people couldn't hear it clearly when they pricked up their ears, obviously it was yesterday that Brandi lost her qualification to cast spells, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a bitter hatred, but she would naturally stand up for herself? Brandy, who is obviously such a strong person, would rather endure the pain and finish the spell in order not to be looked down upon by others, would actually swallow his anger and apologize to Snape for no reason?

She suddenly wanted to understand what was going on in this person's heart. Then she heard it......

Brandi slumped in his chair, gulping for air, trying to control his trembling calves, and said in a trembling voice: "Merlin, this guy's momentum is really scared to death!" ”

He was in a state of palpitations, when he suddenly remembered that Hermione was still looking at him, and the red of shame immediately covered Brandy's old face.

He hurriedly turned his head away and stammered to explain, "Don't, don't think too much!" I'm just... I'm not used to it, that's right! I just can't get used to the way that old man bullies us Gryffindor unscrupulously! It doesn't matter if it's you! Don't be sentimental! Don't hurry up and boil the medicine! I don't want to come and skin lizards at night! That's disgusting! ”

The strange mood was almost immediately driven away by Brandy's harsh tone.

"Idiot! If you hadn't been there to affect my mood, I would have boiled the potion a long time ago! To put it bluntly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been scolded by Snape at all! ”

"Hey~? If I hadn't stepped forward, you would have cried like a little flower cat by now! I really don't know how to be grateful at all! ”

"Who used you to stand up! I don't feel disgusting either! This girl can handle it herself! ”

"Okay! Then you made the scabies potion yourself! ”

"Just do it! Afraid you can't do it?! ”

I'm so angry, this idiot who doesn't know how to read words and looks!

Hermione huffed and tried to remove the cauldron from the fire as the first step, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy, and the crucible was about to fall to one side as soon as her hand was crooked.

One hand wears a heat-insulating glove, holding the crucible steadily. Brandi looked at Hermione awkwardly, "Don't think too much, I just don't want to be left in confinement at night." ”

…………

"Poof~" Hermione's tight little face suddenly couldn't hold on, and suddenly a touching smile bloomed.

"Hey! What are you doing? Laughing so ill-intentioned! Brandi suddenly felt a chill in his back, apparently the girl in front of him was thinking something stupid about him.

"You have to take care of it! Hurry up and get me aside! I'm going to add dried nettles! ”

"Oh......"

Looking at Brandi's panicked figure, Hermione took a sip, her heart warm like the warm sunlight in winter.

"Nerd~"
