Chapter 332: Professor Snape's Change

What is the difference between scapular aconitum and wolf venom aconitus?"

"They are all the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum sinensis, which is a slightly poisonous plant. ”

"From the naked eye, how can you tell if the scabies treatment potion is boiled correctly or not?"

"If the potion is boiled correctly, pink smoke will rise from the cauldron, and the potion itself will take on a nearly sky-blue appearance. ”

"What kind of potion can be made from lionfish spine powder mixed with Hoklap juice?"

"Herbicides, professor. However, in addition to this, two drops of Flober caterpillar slime will be added. ”

“......”

After five minutes, Professor Snape finally stopped asking a barrage of questions and looked at Harry in front of him with a complicated expression.

Although the kid looked like a miniature version of James Potter from the outside, both his eyes and his familiarity with potions made Severus Snape seem to see the shadow of Lily Evans.

There is no doubt that the child inherited his mother's talent for potions.

"All...... Answer correctly. ”

Snape nodded noncommittally, staggered his gaze at Harry, and stood up and walked back to the podium.

"It seems that you still flipped through the textbook before the class. Now ......"

Snape's eyes moved to the faces of the young wizards sitting in the classroom, frowned, and said coldly, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and write it down?!"

As if waking up from a big dream, the classroom suddenly sounded the rustle of fumbling with quill pens and parchment. In the midst of this slightly noisy voice, Snape tapped his index finger on the lectern and hesitated for a few seconds before whispering.

"Gryffindor House, plus five points. Harry Potter, this is the reward you deserve for those wonderful answers. ”

Potions class continued, but Harry soon discovered that what he had prepared was no longer useful.

Because, unlike on Monday, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw first-year wizards were faced with a different Potions lesson.

In today's potions class, Snape did not follow the original rhythm and guide them to prepare and learn about the [Potion for Scabies] step by step.

As soon as the lecture began, Professor Snape handed each of the young wizards two pieces of parchment with words written on them.

"At the suggestion of Miss Caslana, I have compiled these two basic normative instructions for the time being, and I hope you will take the time to memorize and memorize them after class. ”

Under the blank eyes of the young wizards, Snape whispered expressionlessly.

"I'd advise you to keep this in mind, because before the start of next week's classes, I'll be randomly calling out the class to memorize them – which, by the way, will also be part of the final exam. ”

Although these regulations may seem cumbersome and mentally retarded at first glance, based on Elena's practical experience as a teaching assistant in Potions class over the past week, it is indeed very effective in preventing students from being injured due to various low-level reasons, and greatly reducing the number of accidents caused by irregular operation in Potions class.

Therefore, after Snape revised and perfected some of the details, he naturally used them unceremoniously.

The first year wizards on Friday morning were lucky enough to be the first "crab-eating" pilot group in the entire Hogwarts castle - not just first-year students, of course.

In fact, starting next week's Potions class, Professor Snape will enforce this rule in all grades and classes across the school. According to Snape, any student at Hogwarts Castle who still needs to take Potions class must memorize these rules and regulations.

That's not the biggest change in the Potions class, though.

"All right, everybody. Please put away the Magic Potions and Potions textbook on your desktop now, you don't need it for the rest of today's lessons, you still need some practice before you can get your hands on the real potions material. ”

After a brief introduction to some of the basics of Potions, Snape cleared his throat and spoke slowly in Hermione's disbelieving eyes.

As he spoke, Snape waved his wand lightly, and an oval-shaped green-skinned plant appeared in front of each student's workbench.

Winter melon is a cute and beautiful plant that originated in China and the East Indies, but was brought back to the European continent for cultivation as early as the 16th century.

And this is also the unexpected joy that Elena discovered when she was "taking inventory" in the Hogwarts vegetable garden.

There is no doubt that winter melon is a suitable vegetable for cultivation and storage, which is one of the reasons why it appears on the European continent.

Not only does it have a good ability to withstand heat and cold, but the meat is white, crisp and juicy.

Rather than the Eastern way of eating it primarily as a dish, continental Europe prefers to treat it as a plant that sits somewhere between fruit and vegetables – such as winter melon juice, winter melon cutting plate, or stewed winter melon in plain water like boiled cabbage.

What's more, winter melon is one of the most suitable vegetables for beginners to practice knife skills in the chef world, after all, its unique internal structure is too safe for novices.

"Quiet!"

Glancing at the whispering classroom, Severus Snape frowned, raised his voice slightly, and effortlessly quieted the classroom instantly, and order became orderly again.

"Peeling, slicing, pitting...... These are the three most common operations we do in potion material handling after that. ”

Snape said unhurriedly, walking over to Elena's seat and reaching out to pat the melon on Elena's table.

"And the content of your lesson today is to deal with the winter melon in front of each of you - the requirements are simple, peel off the green crust on the outside, clean the melon on the inside, and cut the melon into small cubes as neat as possible. ”

"Now, you can all lean forward. I'm going to show you a full rundown of how to do it and what I want to do with the results...... Then explain in detail some things that need to be paid attention to. ”

As it turned out, Elena's reasoning was not wrong.

In order to preserve the magical properties of potions as much as possible, a qualified Potions Master will use manual or pure drive magic to avoid deviations when handling many potion materials.

As a veteran Potions Master, Professor Snape's basic skills in knife and planer skills are naturally no less than those of top chefs who have been immersed in the kitchen for decades.

Without using any magic, it took Professor Snape less than five minutes to process a large ripe melon into a plate of neatly arranged melon squares - and that's when he deliberately slowed down at some point so that the young wizards could see clearly.

Immediately afterwards, Snape picked up the various tools he had just used, and took the trouble to demonstrate and explain the basic grip and power again.

To make sure that at least this time there will be no more stupid guys who hold the knife with their backhand, or actively put their fingers in the direction where the blade falls.

"Did you hear and see it clearly? I don't want to repeat such a simple and basic thing a second time. Of course, don't let me find out that you're not even as good as a bunch of baboons. ”

Snape raised his head, his empty and indifferent gaze sweeping over the young wizards in the classroom, the corners of his mouth slowly curling in a pleasant arc, and whispered slowly in his usual sarcastic tone.

"By the way, I almost forgot, and one last thing I need to explain. ”

"In your lunch today, part of the ingredients for your lunch will be used in the winter melon you have processed in this lesson. And, everyone has to eat it all. ”

"Now, let's get started. ”
