Lesson 2...... For the little wizards in the third grade, it was a nightmare.

Of course, from Snape's and Elena's point of view, it might be more appropriate to describe it as a disaster—no better, but at least relatively objective.

Hogwarts courses can be roughly divided into three distinct levels of difficulty.

The curriculum for Year 1 and Year 2 students is focused on developing interests and building a solid foundation.

The junior wizards in the lower grades did not offer elective courses, and the content of the courses involved had been revised many times, and there were almost no doubts and knowledge of room for improvement, such as levitation charms, basic transfiguration, etc., mainly to adapt to the subject.

It is only the period from the beginning of the third year to the end of the fifth year that belongs to the real application of the field of teaching magic—or in other words, to prepare for the test-taking part of the exam.

And after the sixth grade, students will be integrated. LS exam results, as well as his future employment aspirations, discussed with the dean at the beginning of the new semester to choose a course, and signed up for the corresponding (Advanced Wizard Exam) improvement class - according to Professor Snape, it was only from this time that he barely touched the field of potions.

However, correspondingly, the difficulty of this stage is also showing a leap forward, and some young wizards with a weak foundation may not even be able to read textbooks, let alone carry out follow-up course learning.

In fact, most of the wizards in the entire wizarding world are in the category of "ordinary wizards", and they can really pass smoothly.

In contrast, it is more like a university/college diploma, with which you can apply for some suitable jobs.

To take a simple example as an analogy, it is actually equivalent to a secondary school diploma in the world of the non-magical world, or even more important, it will directly determine whether the young wizards can enter the society in a reassuring situation, use magic to achieve basic self-care, and survive independently and healthily in the society.

Therefore, the magical knowledge taught in these three years is undoubtedly the most important part of the entire Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the vast majority of students will show a certain degree of discomfort in the first few classes of the third year.

And this is especially evident in the actual operation of today's Potions class.

You know, before that, the students were exposed to potion recipes that were clearly described, had simple steps, and had Professor Snape help with simple processing of raw materials, such as the [Scabies Treatment Potion] that the first-year freshmen were supposed to learn (click for the detailed recipe →).

However, from the third grade onwards, everything started to get tougher.

The first is that the handling of potion raw materials begins to become a desperate part, to be precise, the proficiency of the knife work.

Just take the "shrinking potion" as an example:

The students had to cut the daisy roots into evenly sized pieces within the allotted time, peel the wrinkled figs without damaging too much of the fleshy lining, and slice the dead caterpillars with a knife......

Not to mention, due to the fact that "a little", "partial", "some", "a little" began to appear in the potion recipes...... With such a headache word, the frequency of operation mistakes by young wizards has skyrocketed.

This situation will not be slightly better until the end of the fifth grade.

As had been the case in previous years, Snape had to spend a great deal of energy on his rounds lest the clumsy third-year Pippi Shrimp accidentally cut off his fingers and weep and fall into the cauldron - this was not uncommon, but fortunately the potion wasn't too corrosive.

Today, though, things are a little different......

"Dean Metachlin, please tell me. Snape stood in front of a curly-haired Gryffindor lion cub, his eyes narrowed, the broad black robe shadow hanging over the little wizard with a sense of oppression that seemed to be substantial.

"What the hell are you stupidly holding up your wand in front of the cauldron?"

"Clean and clean crucibles and glass test tubes...... Elena, well, Miss Kaslana said, you can use the ...... of the Cleansing Charm," Dean swallowed and said with some fear.

For some reason, Professor Snape's terrifying gloom seemed to have increased tenfold since Elena placed the lily bulb on the table, exuding a terrifying aura all over his body, and a palpitating gray flashing in his eyes from time to time.

"So...... What should be the effect of casting the spell?" Snape's voice was slow and eerie.

"Make the crucibles and tubes clean. Dean's tone was full of hesitation and confusion, not knowing where his operation had gone wrong.

"Become ...... Clean up? That's all?"

Snape raised an eyebrow and snorted coldly, "It seems that your spell may have taken effect in your brain first, and what I talked about in the last lesson has already been cleaned up by you, right?"

As he spoke, the Potions professor reached out and picked up the glass test tube on the boy's desk and shook it slowly.

"Well, I repeat, the standard of cleanliness is not based on your naked eye. Only if the water attached to the inner wall of the container is evenly distributed, and there are no droplets of water condensing or flowing down in strands, it is considered clean – Gryffindor deducts five points. ”

Snape looked around at the little ones who were staring at him, their eyes full of sudden realization, and then there was another wave of annoyance in his heart, and he suddenly straightened up and raised his voice.

“...... So, if you can't remember, why don't you hurry up and write it down in your notebook?!"

Immediately, the classroom resounded with the rustle of quill pens and parchment, as well as the sound of incantations and water rushing through them.

Syllable!

"Woo...... Professor Snape ......"

In the midst of the noise, there was a crisp sound of glassware breaking in the rear right, and a few seconds later a Slytherin girl's cry of pain was heard—apparently another cut accident caused by clumsiness.

"When cleaning a test tube, don't pinch the end of the tube, how many times have I said that?"

Snape glanced indifferently at the Slytherin girl who was crying and clutching her fingers, and almost instantly understood why, and stood still and whispered unmoved.

"I think you should have mastered the [Recovery Spell], hurry up and fix it and continue your operation. ”

"But...... Professor ......"

The girl pitifully pinched her bleeding fingers and looked blankly at the dean standing at the other end of the room—before that, although Professor Snape would have been polite in his words, most of them would have hurried over to comfort her.

“Ur!”

The faint white light flickered, and the wound cut by the sharp glass slag healed quickly, and soon only a shallow red mark remained, and the pain that had not yet had time to dissipate showed that there had been a wound here.

"This senior sister has been cured, you must be careful next time. ”

Elena reached out and touched the Slytherin girl's finger, and said sweetly, like an angel descending in the basement, in stark contrast to Snape, who stood not far away.

In this Potions classroom, which suddenly became ruthless, the only thing that could make everyone feel a little peace of mind and comfort was the one who kept shuttling through the crowd, helping the little wizards to recover their wounds, and at the same time assisting in correcting the Potions class operation rules - Elena Assistant Teaching Angel Kaslana.
