Chapter 395: It Doesn't Matter

"Let me think about who knows more about house-elves!"

Wang Xu sat in a chair, shaking his wine glass with one hand and tapping the pilaf on the plate with a spoon with the other.

The house-elf will watch people put down dishes and know that Wang Xu is from China, and the meals prepared for him are mainly rice.

Yesterday I ate seafood rib rice, and today it has become mutton pilaf, which is obviously specially prepared for him.

"When Hermione was in the fourth grade, she established an organization called the House-Elf, the Welfare Promotion Association, and although she died in the end, she was very famous among the House-Elves, and she could be asked about it."

Wang Xu thought of this and began to look for Hermione, and after looking around, not only Hermione did not find her, but even Harry and Ron were not there, as if they had finished eating and left.

"What are you looking for?"

Sitting next to Wang Xu today was not Snape, but Potions Professor Slughorn.

Hearing this, Wang Xu gave up the idea of going to the dormitory to find someone, Hermione couldn't run away anyway, it was the same sooner or later.

"Didn't look for anything, just a casual look."

Wang Xu's tone paused when he said this, looked up at Slughorn, and said, "Professor Slughorn, I heard that your Potions class is very good, and I don't know anything about Potions, I hope to have the honor to audit it, is that okay?" ”

"Auditing?" Slughorn nodded with a smile and said repeatedly: "Of course no problem, I have taught many students, but I have not taught a single professor, this is my honor." Also, I've heard that you talked a lot about Muggles in your morning class, do you know a lot about Muggles? ”

"It's okay." Wang Xu is a Muggle himself, from a wizard's point of view.

It's just that he's a bit stronger as a Muggle, and even these professor-level wizards aren't enough in his eyes.

As for the Muggle Exorcism Charm, Wang Xu found that it was useless for him, normal Muggles looking at Hogwarts was just a ruin with a sign of danger not entering, and Wang Xu looked at Hogwarts as Hogwarts.

He didn't know what the reason was that he wasn't affected by the Muggle Exorcism Charm, but he guessed that it might have something to do with his martial arts realm.

Talking and laughing, lunch was spent in small talk, and the time quickly reached the afternoon.

Professor Slughorn's Potions class began at half past two in the afternoon, and each class lasted two hours, with not much content to be covered, but a lot of hands-on parts.

When Wang Xu followed Slughorn into the classroom, there were already many students present, who were reviewing their textbooks in the classroom, and quickly stood up after seeing them. Wang Xu looked at the environment, the classroom of the Potions class was in the basement, the classroom was lit with braziers around it, and above his head was a magic crystal that emitted white light.

Looking inside, it was a sixth-year student who took this class, but Potions was an elective course, and if you didn't think you had the talent, you could skip it.

So in the classroom, the sixth-grade students didn't show up, only about a third of them came.

"Potions is a delicate subject that can lead to a big mistake, and I usually discourage students who are not talented enough to come to the class because it is irresponsible to them." Seeing that there were not many students coming, Professor Slughorn whispered and explained to Wang Xu.

Wang Xu nodded clearly, the Potions class was a compulsory course before the fifth grade, and the Potions class became an elective course in the sixth and seventh grades.

Even the school believes that ordinary wizards do not need to master Potions, because Potions is rarely used in society, and 99% of students will not interact with Potions for the rest of their lives after graduation, which is somewhat similar to Chinese English.

"Good afternoon, students, I'm glad you can come to class, potions is a boring science, and intelligence and perseverance are the most important qualities. This morning, I brewed four potions in the classroom, the first three of which you have learned before, can anyone tell me what they are? ”

Slughorn, who walked into the classroom, quickly entered the state of a professor and opened his mouth to ask questions to the students.

In fact, these early students had been talking about this issue before, and some of them raised their hands soon after hearing the question.

Slughorn glanced around, keeping the raised hand in mind, then turned to look at Hermione in the crowd and said, "Hermione Granger, I have seen your fifth year general wizarding exam, and you got excellent in potions, I think you can speak for everyone." ”

Hermione walked up with a book in her arms, she was an elementary school bully, and she enjoyed answering questions in class, often the person with the highest raised hand.

In the midst of all the attention, Hermione came to the four medicine pots, opened the seal of the first medicine pot, sniffed it, and said: "The potion takes on the color of clear water, and the water surface can even shine the reflection of people, and there is no peculiar smell, I guess this is a truth elixir." ”

Slughorn smiled and clapped his hands, motioning for Hermione to continue.

Hermione took a deep breath and continued, "The Truth Elixir is a very powerful interrogation potion, and its effect is similar to that of the Dementor, which is a very advanced form of magic that is generally only mastered by master magicians.

It doesn't need to be so troublesome, and it doesn't require the user to have master-level skills, just a small sip, and the person who drinks the elixir will be in an ethereal state, in which the person's main consciousness will go into hibernation, and the brain will be controlled by the subconscious.

At this stage, one cannot lie, but recently the Ministry of Magic has decided that no suspect should be forced to become a witness against him, thus recognizing truth-telling as an illegal product and prohibiting its use in interrogation. ”

"Very good, Hermione's answer is almost perfect, Gryffindor plus one point."

Slughorn smiled and pointed to the second pot.

Hermione lifted the lid of the second potion again, leaned in and sniffed it gently, and frowned: "This pot is a compound potion, some people like to call it a transformation potion, the taste is very light, it smells a bit like lemon juice, and the color is amber." It's a potion that is strictly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic, because it can turn one person into another, and the change is perfect, except for the flaws that may be revealed in the behavior, very few magic can see through this disguise. ”

"Answer correctly, Gryffindor adds one more point!"

Hearing the words in her ear, Hermione, who had succeeded twice, became more relaxed, and walked happily to the third medicine pot.

As soon as the lid of the cauldron opened, Hermione was stunned for a moment.

She looked slightly red, and said with a twist: "This is an ecstasy potion, also known as an ecstasy potion, a couple potion, and a love potion." It is said that its flavor varies from person to person, and it will give off the flavor that attracts the person the most.

When you take the first sip, it tastes a bit like stinky shoes that have been worn for months and have not been washed once. Take a second sip and it will become your favorite smell, for example, the smell of grass is the aroma of grass, the smell of ink, and the cherry flavor of toothpaste. ”

Hermione ran away with a red face at this, looking very cute.

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, he was the only one present who knew, and the smell Hermione smelled was not this at all.

In fact, in the ecstasy potion, she smelled the smell of Ron's body, a combination of licorice and sweat.

Hermione herself later said that when she smelled it, she immediately thought of Ron.

It was also this time that she understood that she liked Ron, so the smell of Ron appeared in the Ecstasy potion, and also laid the groundwork for the love between Hermione and Ron in the sixth part.

It's just that compared with the original book, the movie version of Harry's series has deleted a lot of emotional scenes.

In the movie version, in the first and second films, Hermione did not show her affection for Ron, but was a little happy with her enemies.

In the third part, when Ron was injured, Hermione was lying in his arms crying, which was actually a foreshadowing, but there were not many shots given, and many people ignored the past.

There is a dance party in the fourth part, and Ron does not ask Hermione to be his dance partner, and Hermione angrily finds Ron's favorite Quidditch player to be his dance partner.

When Ron confronted her, Hermione said that if you want to stop this, please think about me next time, instead of using me as a last resort, what are you and me, and ran away crying.

Judging from here, in fact, at this stage, Hermione and Ron already have a crush on each other, especially in the original book.

Therefore, those who look closely at the love between Hermione and Ron will understand that this is an inevitability, because happy enemies can often achieve positive results, and Harry and Hermione are friends, but they don't treat each other as men or women, but more like good buddies.

When Wang Xu first watched Harry Potter, he also hated Ron, thinking that he was not worthy of Hermione, and Hermione should marry Harry.

When he grew up, he realized that Hermione had a strong personality, and marrying the equally strong Harry would end up in a divorce 100%.

On the contrary, Ron, who is stupid and clumsy, can contain Hermione's shortcomings without being on the tip of the needle.

It's like the leather pants Wang said, I don't care...
