Chapter 9 Do You Know Pharmacy?

Soon it was Friday, and after the Transfiguration and Astrology classes, the first-year students had another Defence Against the Dark Arts class. Although this course is a class that all students look forward to, the course is actually not as interesting as expected.

Albert listened to Professor Quirrell's story with Hermione discussing the chemical changes in matter, well, in fact, he was talking to Hermione completely and wasn't listening to the lecture at all. They sat in a corner of the classroom, and no one noticed them.

Hermione's attention was also diverted by Albert's suggestion that "chemistry is more like magic than magic", and the rare good students also deserted and chatted with people in class.

It's just that Hermione and Albert didn't notice that the golden boy Harry Potter was watching them.

Originally, Harry Potter himself was now the same as everyone else, everyone was half-pounded, and the knowledge gap between the children of the magical family and the Muggle family was not large, and there would not be much pressure. But the appearance of the two dark horses, Hermione and Albert, made Harry Potter quite uncomfortable.

"I'm a golden boy and Hermione is a golden girl, but the gap between me and her is like a goshawk in the sky and an ant on the ground...... She can turn a room into gold, and I can't even turn a match into a needle. ”

Harry was chatting with Ron as well.

"And Albert, I dare say I heard about him a lot when I was at my aunt's house, and it seemed like children all over England were following his example. Now that he's a wizard, maybe he'll be much better than me. ”

Ron couldn't help but shake his head when he heard Harry's words, "Harry, how can you have such a mentality. You're a golden boy, and as for what kind of golden girl, look at her smug face, know everything? What a megalomaniac! Harry, you were born to defeat that man, and you are the hope of the wizarding world, Savior! ”

"Maybe that Albert is great in the Muggle world, but that only means he's a great Muggle, and the wizarding world is not a mudblood, oh, sorry...... I mean, Albert couldn't have imagined the magic of the wizarding world. ”

"Really......"

Hermione, Albert and Harry, and Ron have unconsciously widened the distance, as the so-called close to Zhu is red and close to ink is black, Hermione has been completely changed by Albert. The excitement and curiosity of entering the wizarding world had disappeared somewhere, and her mind was filled with the words physics and science by Albert......

But luckily, that's in the past. It's Friday.

"El, you know what? Today there was a potions class, throwing in a mess of seemingly unrelated things into magical potions, and I felt like I was as interested in the class as I was in chemistry. In the morning, Hermione showed up in the hall even before Albert, and you could tell she was excited.

"That's great. I'm also a little interested in this class, and I hope it doesn't disappoint me. I've heard that the professor of this course is the dean of the strict Slytherin over there, and I hope he has some real material. You must know that my mother Yiyi is Chinese, since I was a little sick, she will boil very bad smell and unpleasant Chinese medicine for me to drink, I hope that the Slytherin dean made zuò potion will be better and better than my mother's Chinese medicine. Albert pursed his lips and said after drinking a glass of milk, the traditional Chinese medicine made by Yi Yi can be said to be a shadow of his childhood, which also led Albert, who was not good at medicine, to go directly to a biological research institute to study viruses with a doctor of biology there, just so that he would never get sick again.

"China? The former world hegemon of the Far East? I didn't know your mother was Chinese. Medicinal herb? Sounds amazing, how is that? Hermione blinked, she didn't know the country, she had only heard of it.

"Don't remind me of that smell...... Houttuynia cordata sugar for indigestion, this is the first Chinese medicine my mother gave me, and the taste directly made me vomit all the food I ate the day before yesterday......"

"Is it really that scary...... "Looking at Albert with a hideous face, Hermione couldn't help but imagine the taste, and her intuition told her that it might really be a terrible taste, more terrible than preserved eggs. However, the porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork is delicious, and after eating it in Chinatown last time, Hermione can't forget the taste.

"Al, do you eat porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork at home? I mean, I've eaten it before, and it's pretty tasty. It's a pity that Hogwarts doesn't. Hermione unconsciously changed the subject.

"My mother sometimes cooks it in the morning, but my favorite dish is still a dish from my mother's hometown, which my grandfather brought when he came to visit me last time, although it is also sold outside, but it is not as delicious as my grandfather's brought. The name is mapo tofu! Albert showed a nostalgic expression, "It's numb and spicy but melts in your mouth, it's delicious!" ”

"Is it really that good?" Hermione thought she had the best food she had ever eaten, French caviar, and she really hadn't touched Chinese food.

"If you have time for Christmas, you can come to my house!" When Albert heard Hermione say this, he invited her directly and without hesitation, if Hermione agreed, he only hoped that Yiyi would not talk nonsense about his little girlfriend or anything like that, and make others embarrassed. "My house is at 788 Victoria Road Boulevard."

"What? 788 Victoria Road Boulevard? Did you know that there is a children's park not far from the boulevard? Hermione looked surprised.

"Children's park? Farm Times Park, a park built to commemorate the harmony and beauty of England in the 15th century? ”

"Yes! My house is at 65 Sunshine Avenue at the entrance of the park! Hermione looked excited, she didn't expect Albert's home to be so close to her own.

"Hey! After that, you can come to me to play on vacation, I have a room at home with so many books, and then I save more things in my computer, and I can make a copy to you when the time comes. Albert laughed.

"Copy? I'll go home to Mom and Dad on Christmas and talk to see if I can buy a computer, you know, it's expensive......" Hermione pursed her lips, a little impatient.

"Okay, if it doesn't work, I'll change a computer and give it to you, since Jobs, I've dismantled the personal computer made by IBm, even if it's the structure of a chip inside." Albert smiled again, "Maybe you can get a gift from New World for Christmas, you know, I'm friends with the CEO of that company, and I've heard that they're driving a high-end smartphone that is more powerful than a computer, and it's more convenient and more software!" ”

"Then I'm going to look forward to it!" Hermione doesn't really know much about cell phones and the like, and compared to the New World phone, which costs a whopping £8ooo, the Motorola is better to use, although it's not very pretty, and it looks like a brick.

Soon, breakfast time was over, and Hermione and Albert followed Slytherin to the Potions classroom, a cellar that was a little cold.

When everyone had arrived, Potions Professor Snape, who looked like he hadn't washed in a long time and looked greasy in a long time, finally arrived, and as he walked, his robe was blown up by the wind and looked like a bat.

Snape, like Flitwick, picked up the roster as soon as class started, and like Flitwick, he always stopped when Harry's name was called.

"Oh yes," he whispered, "Harry Potter, this is our new arrival—the famous one." ”

Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle laughed with their hands over their mouths. When Snape finished the roll call, he looked up at the class, his eyes as black as Hagrid's, but without Hagrid's warmth. His eyes are cold and hollow, reminding you of two tunnels in total darkness.

"You've come here to learn the exact science and rigor of this potion." He spoke, almost a little louder than a whisper, but everyone could hear every word he said. Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order effortlessly. "Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the smoky and fragrant cauldron, and you don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the thrilling, disorienting magic that I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death—but one thing has to be that you are not the kind of fools and fools I often encounter. ”

After his short opening remarks, the class fell silent.

"Potter!" Snape suddenly said, "What do I get if I add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?"

What grass root powder is put into what solution? Harry glanced at Ron, who was just as stunned as he was. Hermione, who was about to raise her hand, was stopped by Alberta and motioned for her not to be showy.

"I don't know, sir." Harry said.

Snape pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Tsk, tsk—it seems that fame doesn't mean a qiē."

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?", Harry had no idea what a bezoar was. He tried not to look at Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, and the three of them trembled with laughter.

"I don't know, sir."

"I don't think you opened a book before school started, did you, Potter?"

Harry forced himself to stare straight into his cold eyes. He did turn over all the books when he was at Dursley, but could Snape ask him to memorize all the contents of A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms? Snape still ignored Hermione's trembling arm. "Potter, what is the difference between scapular aconitum and wolf venom aconitum then?"

"I don't know," Harry whispered.

"Sit down, it looks like our savior isn't omnipotent!" Snape said with some satisfaction, "Let me tell you, Potter, the combination of narcissus root powder and wormwood can make a very potent sleeping pill, which is a serving of life and death water." The bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow and has a strong detoxifying effect. As for Aconitum scaphoida and Aconitum lupus, they are the same plant, also collectively referred to as Aconitum sinensis. Do you understand? Why don't you write it all down?"

Suddenly, there was a rustle of quill pens and parchment. In the midst of the cacophony, Snape said, "Potter, Gryffindor will be deducted a point for you confronting the teacher. ”

Potions classes continued, but the situation for the Gryffindor students did not improve. Snape divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies until he reached Hermione and Albert's table.

"Why don't you do it, is it because you're so stupid that you can't even cut some materials! Mr. Crowley and Miss Granger. Snape was slightly annoyed, even Potter wouldn't dare not do anything in his class, even though he was just a little monster wasting materials.

Ignoring Hermione's nervous hand gripping his own, Albert stood up, "Professor, do you know what pharmacy is?" ”
