Chapter 0948 - The First Potions Class of the New School Year (๑•؎ •๑)✧
Ding Ding Dong~??
As the Hogwarts administrator, the Squib Argus Filch, rang the bell for the end of class, the thirty or forty fourth-year Hogwarts students were finally relieved and hurried out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, as if there was some terrible monster in the classroom driving away and intimidating them?
And when the rest of the students were almost gone, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, the three who were at the bottom of the group, held their textbooks and squeezed them out with a hint of urgency.
By the time the three had left, the classroom had been empty, and there was no one left except for the one who was still sitting, leaning on a cane by the podium, with an old white hair, a scarred old face, and a blue magic alchemy prosthetic eye, drinking something in front of a silver curved wine bottle.
And that sloppy old man appeared at the last moment on the day of the opening ceremony, and then frightened the teachers and students present, and was appointed by Dumbledore as the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts this school year, responsible for teaching hundreds of students in the school The mad-eyed man of Defense Against the Dark Arts - Alastor Moody!
"Hey!"
"Hermione! And Ron! ”
"What did you think of this Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson, isn't it great? I've never met a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor like Professor Alastor Moody, who taught us how to fight and recognize those three terrible spells, and even gave them to us in their entirety, which is amazing! ”
Having just come out of the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom and on his way to the Potions class, Harry couldn't help but cheer at his two companions in his excitement.
‘……’
‘……’
It's just that, unlike the excitement of his own, Ron next to him seems to be a little frightened, and Hermione is also silently frowning, holding her own textbook behind the two, looking sullen, and I don't know what she is thinking.
"Harry!"
"Those three spells are unforgivable spells, and Professor Moody can show us them, because he is a retired Auror or a professor at the school, and the target of the spell is always ...... spiders"
"However, he also taught us the spell directly, and that was bad, very bad!!"
Hermione felt that kind of spell shouldn't have been for them fourth-year students to come into contact with, and that Professor Moody shouldn't have used that spell to teach them junior students!
Or, at least, have completed the fifth grade. Is it necessary for the sixth and seventh graders of the LS exam to be selectively exposed to them?
"That's an unforgivable curse!"
Hermione repeated it again to her companion who looked so big and didn't pay attention to it at all.
"Anyone who uses any of them will have serious consequences and will be arrested by the Ministry of Magic and imprisoned in Azkaban! Harry, I know you stalked down those three spells in your notebook, but I must warn you, you must not do it! ”
"Anyway!"
"Moody's way of teaching him is really terrible, if he continues to teach like that, he will definitely be complained by students or parents!!"
Surprisingly, this was the first time Hermione had said in private that a professor was not......
Because, in her opinion, Professor Moody's teachings were so radical that even she was frightened by the other party's method of controlling, torturing, and killing the poisonous spider, not to mention the other classmates.
And this is also the reason why the students left in a hurry as soon as the bell rang for the end of class, and they were not willing to stay with that Professor Moody for one more minute at all! If it weren't for Harry's special trip to consult with the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, she and Ron would have left with the others.
“??”
"Oh no! I didn't say I'm going to do nonsense! ”
"But, Hermione, you know, he's the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor that Professor Dumbledore hired this year, and since Professor Dumbledore didn't intervene, it proves that Professor Moody's approach was correct and allowed! And I think he should teach like that, preferably more, rather than exactly according to the textbook? ”
"Only then can we learn more and more useful things!!"
Finally, a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor who he liked and was interested in arrived, and Harry would not let Hermione say that the other party was not, so he spontaneously defended the other party as soon as possible.
Anyway, in his opinion, that Professor Moody is indeed very good, and he Harry said that he is very satisfied, and hopes that in the next year, the other party can teach them more and more practical spells and techniques, preferably the unique experience and spells of the other party as an Auror?
You know, Harry is determined to become an Auror after he graduates, and then join the glorious cause of fighting the Death Eaters, Mysteries and Dark Wizards, and fight on the front lines of the Wizards! And now, what Professor Moody's taught them is what he wants to learn the most.
"You're wrong!"
"Harry, I don't think it's necessarily Professor Dumbledore's orders, the Nine is just that Professor Moody himself is too messy, he shouldn't have done that, at least not to teach us junior students that kind of spell!"
After saying that, Hermione also subconsciously looked into the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom behind the three of them.
When she saw that Professor Moody, who was far enough away and was still drinking that strange smell in the classroom, did not come out with him, and certainly did not hear her, she lowered her voice and said with a hint of complaint.
Because, two years ago, she had already been exposed to some extremely profound and terrifying spells from that magic book, but she understood the harm of easily touching that kind of thing better than the two companions in front of her!
"No!"
"Hermione! Now that the Death Eaters are out and about, you've seen the Quidditch World Cup that night, burning down the camp and releasing the Dark Mark! Now that we have reason to believe that the Mystic will be back soon, we must be right to learn how to fight the Death Eaters who are adept at using the Unforgivable Curse! ”
"So, Hermione...... I don't think Professor Moody did anything wrong! ”
"And Professor Dumbledore must have had to do that when he invited a retired former Auror back to teach at the school?"
Harry was still sure he was right, and he was adamant about Professor Moody.
Because he now felt that the other party must be the best Defence Against the Dark Arts professor he had met in these four years of study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and there was no one! Compared to the current Professor Moody, the previous three, except for Professor Lupin who taught them important techniques for dealing with Dementors, whether it was Quirrell possessed by Voldemort, or Gilderoy Lockhart, who could only brag, was definitely unqualified.
Originally, Harry had thought that it would be a good idea if Professor Anne could be their Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, but now, he suddenly changed his mind, insisting that Professor Moody was indeed a good candidate?
"The ......"
"Harry, I don't think it's good for Professor Moody to do that...... Didn't you just see that? Neville was scared stupid, how could he mess around like that......"
"That Professor Moody must be crazy!"
"I've heard of it, like...... That mad-eyed man Moody was very fond of messing around when he was an Auror, crazy, and had a lot of quirks, and there weren't many people in the Ministry of Magic who liked him anyway......"
In fact, Ron was a little frightened in class just now, he never imagined that their new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would dare to openly demonstrate those three unforgivable spells to a small spider in the first class of the new semester!
Sure enough, the other party was called 'Mad-Eyed Moody' by others, and he was privately pointed at by people from the Ministry of Magic, and his popularity was not good, so it was definitely not unreasonable.
"Alright, let's not talk about Defence Against the Dark Arts class!"
"Harry, there's a Potions classroom ahead of us, let's hurry up, we don't have much time, and if we are late, I think Professor Snape will not let us go easily, especially ...... Won't let you go? ”
If you are late, the three of you will be deducted points for Gryffindor House!
Of course, in addition to deducting points, thinking about the scenes of those Potions classes in the past three years, Hermione felt that this poor friend Harry next to her would definitely be taken extra 'care' by Professor Snape, such as being punished for copying twenty pages of recipes and potions-related properties after being ridiculed in public?
That kind of scene is definitely not what she and Ron, who are friends, want to see, because that kind of picture is really too bad for them.
"Huh? O Merlin's beard! ”
"Quick! Hurry up Harry! We have to hurry, we must not be late!! ”
Soon, Ron, who was still a little in good spirits, as if he was frightened, suddenly shook his spirit, and then suddenly remembered all the things that Snape's 'dark wizard' had done to him before, and he didn't want to be grabbed and reprimanded by the other party in class again, and then he was ridiculed by the Slytherin snakes, so he slammed Harry's hand, threw off his arm and ran forward.
Today was the first Potions class of the semester, and if he was really punished for being late, his two twin brothers would definitely sue the family!
"You wait for me ......"
"Hey......"
Unexpectedly, the two of them abandoned themselves and ran first, there was no way, Hermione had to shake her head helplessly, sighed, and then quickened her pace, and chased herself alone along the complicated and dimly lit staircase corridors of Hogwarts, in the direction of the Potions classroom at the bottom of the castle.
————————————
The Potions classroom wasn't large, nor was it very dark, because there were a lot of candles lit in the classroom, and the kerosene lamps on the lab tables were lit to heat the crucibles...... However, I don't know why, none of the students who entered the classroom dared to frolic or make a loud noise, and they all sat in their respective places for the first time.
Perhaps, it was because the black-robed professor on the podium, with straight hair, cold eyes, and a pale complexion, was standing there with his hands crossed over his hands, and his aura was too powerful?
'Hey, look! ’
'Professor Anne, how did she end up here?' Could she be the helper Professor Snape has hired today? ’
'Ah......h
'I don't know, Professor Snape never seemed to need an assistant, did he?' ’
'That doesn't have to be ......'
‘……’
'Could it be that Professor Anne himself wants to learn potions?' You see, she also seems to have a lot of potions and a crucible in front of her? ’
'But she's a professor now, and she's so good, does she still need to come and learn potions with us?' ’
'Her spells and magic are really good, maybe her potions class is poor, not as good as ours?' ’
'It's possible!! ’
'Doesn't she have to go to class today?' ’
'She's an emeritus professor, and if she's going to start a class, there's going to be a notice there's going to be in the auditorium......
'I'm telling you, Professor Anne is probably the quietest professor at Hogwarts, she can go all semester without having to start classes if she wants, and she's not afraid of Headmaster Dumbledore getting her in trouble!' ’
"She's here in Potions class today, so she doesn't have to write her homework like we do, right?" ’
'Definitely not!' ’
'Why?' ’
Because Professor Snape couldn't beat her, and he couldn't ask her to do her homework! ’
‘!! ’
'You're miserable, I think Professor Snape must have heard you, he just saw it!' ’
'Huh?? ’
When they came to the Potions classroom, the Gryffindor students and Slytherin students were preparing for class in pairs, and when they saw that in the corner to the right of the podium, there was a little girl sitting on the small table that had been empty, and Professor Anne, they began to whisper to each other.
However, they did not dare to speak loud......
Because, although there is no formal class yet, their Potions professor, that Severus dressed in black. Snape was standing on the podium, and the horrible man with his fingers folded and his eyes slightly squinted, his eyes closed, was standing there and exuding some terrible majesty towards them!
“……”
"Please be quiet, classmates!!"
Seeing that the time was about to reach the point of class, and seeing that everyone had arrived, and that no one dared to be late for the first day, Snape finally had to speak.
"Students......"
"Even though it's a new semester, you're in your fourth year now......"
"But I repeat what I said when I first saw you: you're here to learn the exact science and rigor of potions, and it's not something that can be done with a stupid wave of your wand...... So, there may be a lot of hard time among you to believe that this is magic, and I don't expect you to really comprehend the beauty of the simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance, and you won't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic that makes people's hearts flutter and their minds blurred......"
"Some of you are destined to be a bunch of hopeless fools, but luckily, in two years, after next year's exams, all of you will not be eligible to enter my class except for those who have achieved excellent grades in the Potions exam!"
With that, Snape swept his cold gaze at Harry and Ron at Gryffindor House, and it was clear that he had heard some of what the students were talking about!
However, he didn't want to teach them a lesson now, because Snape needed to do something else now......
"I'm sure you've all seen it, right?"
"This Professor Anne Hasta next to me ...... Some of you just guessed right, she's not my assistant, and I've never needed an assistant, especially when teaching you fourth-year students who are just getting started with potions! ”
Snape turned slightly to the side of his podium and looked at the little girl sitting on the right side of his podium, fiddling with his precious potion raw materials, and the muscles in his cheeks twitched slightly.
"In fact......"
"Professor Anne she's just here to observe our class, and it is said that she also wants to make some potions herself, so she 'borrowed' me a new cauldron and some medicinal herbs?"
"I don't know exactly what she's trying to do, but you can just treat her as if she doesn't exist, if you get distracted by her and make a mistake......"
Snape said this, and glanced at the little girl in the corner who had to come to his class to join in the fun, and didn't give any face.
He didn't say much about the consequences of the students' mistakes, because he knew that his students must know his style.
In fact, if he could, he didn't want such an irrelevant person in his class at all, even if the other party was also a Hogwarts professor, even if the other party was powerful! And if it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't leave with a dead face, and forcibly took his own potion, he had to go to class with the students, and he really couldn't help the other party, if he changed someone, he would have directly and forcibly bombarded the other party away.
"Hey!"
(*^▽^*)
"Hello all of you!!"
(?????? ▽??????)
Anne actually came here today to attend class together for a reason, of course, she didn't want to say what the specific reason was, and she didn't have time to say it, because ah, they will find out soon.
‘……’
‘……’
The students didn't dare to speak, not even Hermione, who knew the little girl well, because they could all see that Professor Snape seemed to be in a bad mood right now, and they wouldn't touch each other's mold at such a time, and then incur unnecessary punishment for themselves or their own houses.
After all, when the time comes, whether they will be deducted from the academy or punished for copying texts, that is not what they want to see.
"Now!"
"Pick up your textbooks and turn to the first page! Today, we're going to learn new potions refining techniques and learn about new herbs......"
"I just hope that in which semester last year did you not disappoint me too much about the herbalism you learned from Professor Pomona Sprout?"
Herbs and Potions could have been combined into the same course, but since Hogwarts tradition was to divide it into two classes, Snape didn't have much to say, after all, it did make it a lot easier for him, saving him the time to teach some idiots to recognize the complicated herbs one by one?
"Before I begin to explain the potions that need to be tested and refined today, I must remind you of the following......"
"'Bai Xian' should remove the sediment and rough skin, only peel off the root bark, and also slice, dry, and directly use raw, not allowed to bake!"
"The roots of narcissus should be ground into powder, the finer the better!"
"Finally, absinthe ......"
"All I ask is that you leave its leaves and branches, and then soak the juice!!"
At this, Snape paused, for he noticed that Professor Anne next to him was already busy in her own place, and he did not know what the other party was messing with.
“……”
"Now, can anyone tell me what I want you to do with these potions, and has anyone studied the textbook?"
Snape, who wasn't prepared to be distracted by some little girl, thought about it, and stepped forward, pacing his class, watching the students who had already begun to scramble to prepare for what he had just requested, and asked in that gloomy tone.
Then, as a matter of course, he stopped next to the group of Ron Weasley and Harry Potter, watched with mocking eyes as they dried the white fresh sand with the fine sand, and then sneered at the ingredients that had been chopped up with the absinthe and the roots ready to be juiced.
He was already thinking, maybe, when the finished products of these two guys came out, he could try to let them drink a small glass each, and let them know what the terrible consequences would be if they didn't listen to him.
“……”
However, when Snape looked around and saw that Miss Hermione Granger, the Gryffindor jack-of-all-trades, was the only one among all the students, he glared at the unruly fellows of their house with chagrin.
"Okay!"
"Miss Hermione Granger, please?"
There was no way, only the jack-of-all-trades lady was raising her hand in the whole class, even if he Snape wanted to name the students of his own house for favoritism, it was impossible, so he had to look at the child from someone else's house who was obviously very good, but he couldn't like it at all.
"Professor!"
"According to the formula, white fresh + narcissus + absinthe, I think, what you want us to refine today should be a dose of 'super healing medicine' water!!"
Hermione proudly said what she knew, she had memorized all the Potions lessons and recipes for the entire fourth year, so this kind of little problem must have been difficult for her.
“……”
"Gryffindor plus five points......"
"Now, what are you waiting for, why don't you start your potions work soon? The method of making it is written on the fifth page of your textbook, two very simple paragraphs, do you want me to teach you how to read and write? ”
With Snape's habitual rebuke, the Slytherin and Gryffindor students were soon busy with their Potions experiments on their respective test benches.
……
"Narcissus root, ginger slices, mandrakes, Abyssinian wrinkled figs, puffed pods, cinnamon bark, and spring water from the willows......"
|???? ω?? `)
"Tibbs, this should be about the same, right?!"
o(?? ω??) o
While Snape in front of him was just patrolling the students and checking in on the situation, and occasionally shouting at some of the students who had made mistakes, little Anne was not busy, and quickly threw a large pile of her washed potions into the crucible soaked in red pieces.
(…… )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
(Tiebs didn't speak, because it didn't want to mess up with that nasty little master of the house, and it didn't want to be angry with the other party when it messed up, so the wisest thing for it to do now was to say nothing, nothing!) )
“……”
(。?? ˇ?? ˇ??。 )
"That should be the case, right?"
?? (?????? ~????) ╭????
Little Annie, who thought that it was almost enough, thought about it, and then continued to add a few pieces of ginger slices to the pot that could remove the smell, and then resolutely reached out and added a magical flame to the bottom of the crucible, so that it began to simmer at the things she had stuffed into the crucible.
o(??????????????) o
That's right, her Professor Annie's potion is to be stewed, not to 'simmer slowly' like the fierce Professor Snape said, even if the other party just turned his head and glared at her, it was useless, she just had to stew it with a fierce fire, and only then could it be boiled to taste, and she didn't have to wait too long.
(…… )
ε=(???? '●))) Alas
“……”
Snape stared back at the teacher's seat next to the lectern, and for a moment looked at the cauldron that was boiling some potion for some reason.
"Humph!!"
When he found that the little girl had added some chaotic things such as narcissus root, puffed pods, cinnamon bark and other things floating on the water, he didn't know what the other party was doing, and he looked at it for more than ten minutes, until the soup that was too much began to tumble, and felt a little bit of faint magic emitted during the period, thinking that the other party's potion had completely failed, he snorted coldly and turned his head directly.
There is no doubt that according to his eyes as a potions master, no matter what kind of potion the other party makes, when those magic and medicinal properties are diluted by too much water, when those magic powers are involuntarily emitted instead of remaining in the potion, the magic potion that does not know what it is has been declared a complete failure.
In this regard, especially in the art of potion refining, Snape is very confident, even if his own magic strength is far inferior to that of the other party! Obviously, Professor Anne didn't seem to have any talent in refining potions, because the other party really added too much water......
"Hmm......"
Having stopped paying attention to the little girl who was wasting her potions materials, Snape began to concentrate on the classroom once more, because now that his students were almost finished with their potions, and his Potions professor was about to start grading and recording their results.
“……”
Snape was the first to look at Neville of Gryffindor, and it was clear that the other party's super-powerful healing pill was perfect, and it was wafting with a burst of fragrance...... Didn't say it, the other party must have improved some of the recipes in the textbook, so as to come up with this kind of result that even he was a little amazed at?
However, Snape didn't praise this 'fool' who had been reprimanded by him in his first year, he just didn't expect that in addition to his amazing talent in herbology, the other party could occasionally surprise himself in potions? Perhaps, after the other party's fifth-grade exam, choose to come and take it yourself. If you improve the class, can you teach each other some secret insights and experiences?
Of course, the premise is that the other party can get excellent results, otherwise......
"Huh?!"
Soon, then, as Snape moved to Harry and Ron's desks, looking at the black, reddened, bitter potions in each other's cauldrons, he was even more determined to wait for them to have a drink.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he could have them just drink a small glass, get them to poke up a few times, and realize the terrible consequences of not making potions seriously.
"Hmm."
As he walked to the stage of Hermione's group, Snape frowned involuntarily and then gave a noncommittal 'um'.
That's not because the other party is doing badly, but because the other party is doing too ...... Too dogmatic!
He could even guess that this know-it-all Miss must be a completely copied textbook, all the steps, time and even the size of the medicine block are exactly the same as in the book, and he has not made any changes or thought about how to improve according to the actual situation, so the results are very standard, that's all!
Of course, that doesn't mean that the other party is doing something wrong or bad, if his Slytherin students and other students can do the same thing as this Miss Jack-of-all-trades, then he Snape is too worry-free. Anyway, Neville Longbottom and Miss Know-It-All will definitely be bottled and recycled, and then sent to the school infirmary's place for Ms. Poppy Pomfrey, after all, it is an excellent super-powerful healing drug.
“……”
"Decora ......"
Looking at the Slytherin student in front of him, who he had taken care of in many ways, Snape shook his head regretfully and left. Because he saw that the other party did a very poor job, anyway, worse than the Neville and Miss Know-it-all just now, which made him very unhappy in his heart, compared to that Neville and the Know-it-all, which made his original idea of finding a reason to add a few points to Slytherin House in vain.
"Huh?!"
Smell! Smell!
Suddenly, Snape seemed to notice something, and began to sniff vigorously twice, first scanning the classroom in confusion, and only after not finding the source of the strange smell in the crucibles of any students, did he suddenly remember something, and turned his head directly in the direction of the classroom lectern.
Obviously, Professor Annie's cauldron, which he thought had been a complete failure in refining medicine just now, had undergone an unexpected change at this time?
'Good ......'
'What kind of potion is that?'
'I don't know ......'
'But it smells so good......
'How can potions smell like food?' ’
"Anyway, it's definitely different from what we're doing, it looks so advanced, it must be a great potion!" ’
'It's so delicious, I really want to eat it......
'Hey! Ron, your saliva is dripping onto my robe!! ’
'Ahh ’
‘……’
As the scent grew stronger, the students, both finished and unfinished, stopped what they were doing, shook their noses vigorously, and craned their necks in the direction of the crucible that was tumbling and did not know what potion was boiling.
"Hmm......"
I never thought that I had just looked away?
"Professor Annie, what kind of potion are you, and why have I never heard of a recipe for this scent?"
Snape, who thought that the other party had not failed in refining, but had succeeded, stared at the boiling and tumbling crucible suspiciously for a while, and found that although there was not much magic in it, he could not understand the potion, which could not be said to be a failure based on the fragrance alone, so he humbly asked a little girl who was standing on a chair, staring at the pot through the steam with round eyes, and inhaling vigorously as if she was enjoying it.
"Huh?"
∑(?? △`)?!
"Who told you this is a potion, it's not a potion!!"
(???????? -)??
Well, how could she, Professor Anne, waste a class of time making all that messy potions here? Obviously, that kind of thing could never happen to her.
“……”
"And what are you doing here?"
Snape paused for a moment, then moved a little closer, smelling the rich, magical scent wafting from it for a moment before he asked again.
In this regard, he said that he was very puzzled, he didn't know what the hell this little girl was doing, and he didn't know what the other party was matching.
"You're so stupid! Of course, it's a stew! ”
(*???? ╰╯`??)??
"However, people added a little bit of medicinal herbs to it, and now it smells really good, do you want to come and eat it?"
o(??????????????) o─?? Here!
After speaking, the little Anne who swallowed her saliva thought about it, and generously inserted a piece of meat from the pot with a long bamboo skewer, and then handed it directly to the other party.
(…… )
(● ̄(??)  ̄●)
(Tiebs wouldn't tell the big black-haired Snape in front of him that the reason why his little master was so generous was because she didn't know if it was good or if she could eat it, and she didn't know if she would eat the dead after adding so many messy potions, so she always needed to have a taste now?) )
“……”
Snape took it, stared twice, sniffed, and then involuntarily shuddered in his throat.
After a while, after the piece of meat that I don't know what it was was no longer so hot, and I really couldn't resist the temptation of the fragrance, I frowned again, gritted my teeth, and tentatively lifted the bamboo skewer and carefully put the piece of meat in my mouth.
“!!”
"It's delicious, you should have put the cinnamon skin in it......"
His eyes lit up, and he felt that this pot of meat was very different from the ones he had eaten before, and Snape, who had an alternative flavor, thought about it, and took another step forward, and directly inserted a piece of meat that was tumbling and floating up with a bamboo skewer.
"Haha, that's pretty good, isn't it?"
?? (?? `▽????) o
Seeing that the other party didn't look like something was going to happen after eating two pieces in a row, little Annie smiled reassuringly. Thinking about it this way, her Potions class today must have been a success.
"Professor Annie, what kind of animal meat is this?"
Snape, who said he had never eaten such an animal, said that when he had free time, it seemed that he could buy some of his extra gold gallons and stew them himself?
Anyway, after eating two pieces, he already knew about the ingredients used by the other party, there must be daffodil root, ginger slices, mandrake, Abyssinian wrinkled figs, puffed pods, cinnamon bark, and ...... There was one more thing he hadn't figured out, but it didn't matter, he would definitely be able to figure it out after eating a few more pieces!
After all, when it comes to potions, he Snape is a specialist!
"I won't give it to you!!"
(ー`?? ー)
However, without waiting for Snape to reach out for the third time, little Anne quickly reached out to protect her crucible.
"I'll tell you, it's the meat of the Ball Bird, but I managed to catch it!"
Goodbye ( ̄▽ ̄)~!
After saying that, Anne was not afraid of the hot crucible, and after reaching out to hug it directly, a flash appeared, and she disappeared directly.
“……”
After discovering that the other party had disappeared in an instant, leaving only the slightly charred table, Snape was stunned for a moment before he suddenly came back to his senses, seeming to ...... This is his classroom, and his students are watching him and swallowing from behind him?
"Huh?!"
"What are you all looking at? Are all your potions done? Hum! If you don't finish it, or if it doesn't match what is described in the textbook, be sure to hand me a recipe assignment full of 10 sheets of parchment paper before the next class! ”
After putting away the bamboo skewer in some embarrassment, Snape didn't even wipe the oil from his mouth, and turned his face directly at the students who could only look at it and smell it, but couldn't eat it at all.
"Now, who is going to tell me what kind of animal the ball bird is?"
"Okay......"
"Miss Hermione Granger?"
As soon as the question was asked, he found that it was the jack-of-all-trades lady who raised her hand, and Snape, who was anxious to know what kind of animal it was, nodded to the other party.
"Professor!"
"The ball bird is an obese, full-fluffy, flightless but teleportable bird, native to Mauritius...... But it's hard to catch, because our wizard's spells can't hit her easily, and traps can't trap it! ”
"It is said that the long blue hairs on their heads are so precious that they can be made into extremely expensive sketch quills, which are said to be able to memorize at least 10,000 words in an hour, which is amazing!!"
Soon, Hermione, who had seen the ball escape bird from the miscellaneous books of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", spoke clearly in a few words, and proudly puffed up her little chest, waiting for the professor's praise and the envy of her classmates.
“…….”
"Excellent! You're probably right, but you don't get any extra points, because it's completely unrelated to the content of Potions class! ”
Snape gave the little girl a cold look, and then motioned for Miss Know-It-all-trades, who blushed and seemed to be angry, to sit down. Unfortunately, the other party is from Gryffindor, and if it was their Slytherin student, he would definitely add ten points to the other party's answer to that question.
"Now!"
"Everyone, stand up, tidy up your tables, gather the unused materials and finished potions, sort them and pack them, and I'll give you a score!"
"Also, remember what I just said, if you don't finish it, please hand in your homework in the next class?"
After saying that, and without waiting for the bell to ring for the end of class, Snape snorted coldly, turned and walked towards the herb room behind the classroom podium.
He was sure that his students would take care of everything, because anyone who didn't have that kind of 'good habits' had already been cleaned up many times in the past three years!
"A pen with 10,000 words an hour?!"
"Hey! Is that true? Hermione, where can I sell it?! ”
Ron suddenly felt that if he had a quill like that, he would be able to write his homework quickly and well, and that he would not always be at the end of the crane and always borrow Hermione's notes when class was about to go.
“……”
Harry, who was in Ron's group, was obviously thinking the same way as Ron, so he leaned over to Hermione as well, because he also wanted to know where the hell would sell that pen, and then he could choose to mail order one?
“……”
Hermione didn't speak, just gave the two of them a roll of the eyes, and then quickly cleaned up her table, carefully packing her perfect potion into a clean bottle. Because, now that Professor Snape is staring at this side in the herb room behind the podium, they dare to speak before the class is over, are they all crazy?
Besides, she didn't know if what she had just said was true or not, because it was only written in a book, so she had just used the word 'supposedly'.
……
After a long time, the bell rang for the end of class, and when the students cheered to leave the class at the signal of Snape's eyes, and when the dark-haired Snape quickly graded the students and left with the potion of Hermione and Neville, one of the forgotten stuffed bears slapped himself on the ass and jumped off the table next to the podium.

(No way, some bad little master forgot about Tiebs when he got something to eat, so he had to walk back to the room at the top of the castle on his own...... Luckily, this Hogwarts castle is a school of witchcraft and wizardry, and there are a lot of all kinds of chaotic spells such as Transfiguration or Transfiguration Charms, even if Tiebs is seen, there is no need to worry about attracting onlookers. )
