Chapter XVII

"Hello, Professor Snape."

Li Lin said respectfully.

Professor Snape stopped his hurried steps and stared at Li Lin and Hermione not far away.

"Mr. Lovegood, you still have some potions talent. Any questions? ”

Li Lin quickly organized the language.

"That's right, Professor Snape, I don't know if you've read the Knight King novel, which describes an elixir that stimulates the hidden power of the human body and stimulates the blood."

"Okay, I probably know what you're going to say." Professor Snape's voice grew cold.

"There is no potion in potions that will change a person forever, so there is no potion that stimulates the potential power of the human body, whether it is a polyjuice decoction or something like that, it has a time to use, and the novel you are talking about seems to me to be nothing more than the innocent moan written by a man who has not even the slightest talent for potions. The author of this book can't even configure the simplest potion that you have configured today. Someone like you who is more or less gifted, don't be misled by that kind of book, don't waste a little time on that book! ”

Professor Snape's long list of speeches, the attack effect was extremely significant, which made Li Leng hold back what he wanted to say, and hesitated again and again, feeling that it was not suitable to say it in this environment.

"But Professor, Lin is the author of that book, and besides, he made the potion today, and he also got extra points."

It was Hermione's voice.

In an instant, the atmosphere became very awkward.

Snape's bat-like eyes stared at Li Lin's face for a long time, and then he said in a strange tone.

"Oh, Sole Lin Lovegood, Lyn! I see. ”

"No wonder this book has no common sense at all, a great wizard actually revolves around a Muggle woman, and what knightly potions are brewed? It turned out to be a child's whisper, no wonder it was like this, the potion was even more made up, and the rootless water and emerald green liquid added to it were something I had never heard of. ”

Professor Snape's eyes sharpened, and the next thing he wanted to say was probably that I didn't have time to play children's games with you. However, Li Lin's speed was faster.

"So, Professor, you've read the books I've written. So do you remember? The altar of resurrection in the book? ”

"Another nonsense, using the blood or a very small part of the body of the deceased, you can resurrect the dead as a baby in the world, I admire your way of writing in the book, for a child, it is a success to come up with such nonsense, but this kind of joke that makes people laugh, don't put it in reality!"

"But, Professor, the scenes in the book are almost becoming a reality."

Li Lin said in the face of Snape's ridicule, neither humble nor arrogant.

Snape's expression instantly became wonderful, surprised, pale, and even mad. Then he yelled.

"What are you kidding?!"

Li Lin shook his head and continued to speak calmly.

"Professor Snape, you should be able to easily tell if I'm lying."

In an instant, the breath of the entire basement turned cold, Snape's hand was shaking, and his wand was holding his hand like chopsticks dancing.

But he didn't use the Regent after all, this was in the school, in the classroom, after all.

"Mr. Lovegood, if you still have fantasies about your ridiculous potions, then I don't think you would mind stopping by my office after dinner."

With that, Snape turned around and left the basement classroom. But the fact that he hadn't withdrawn the wand, and the constant shaking of the tip of the wand, showed that Professor Snape's mood was by no means as calm as he had appeared.

Professor Snape left, but Hermione leaned over with a serious expression, her eyes blazing at Li Lin, and asked.

"Lin, I've read all the novels you wrote, and I don't like the illogical things on "Singing Contradictory", but I like your novels very much, and I've already read them."

She paused.

"So I know what's going on with the altar, so, are you going to do something that violates the laws of the Ministry of Magic?!"

Li Lin hurriedly denied it.

"No, no, Hermione, don't get me wrong, the altar thing was just a fictional artistic idea at the time, but the Muggle world has indeed been realized, that is, cloning technology, although it is still in the animal stage, to be precise, it is still in the simple amphibian, but I think it will soon be popularized to mammals."

Hermione's expression began to look dazed, and there was a feeling that I didn't understand what you were talking about. Li Lin continued to explain.

"Actually, I still want to ask Professor Snape to help me research, the knight's potion I conceived in the book, I have also read the potions books, and I know that the potions that act on the appearance and essence of the human body are time-limited, but I want to forget the potion, which acts on people's memories, the effect is permanent, so why can't I try it? Besides, even with a time limit, these potions are pretty good for me. ”

Hermione's expression was a little hesitant, and Li Lin immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Hermione, think about it, it's like breathing underwater, don't do that, drinking it can make people grow cheeks. While allowing people to move freely in the water. So whether it is possible to make the same potion, so that people can grow wings and can fly over cliffs, the knight potion is also based on this idea, even if it can't really change the essence of people, but it is feasible to make people gain strength and speed in a short time. ”

"But. Well. ”

Hermione wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.

Li Lin smiled, and he said in a gentle tone.

"Hermione, we're Ravenclaw students, inventing potions or creating spells at school. Shouldn't it be a common occurrence in our college? Have you forgotten yesterday, the prefect's welcome? ”

Hermione finally nodded in agreement. Seeing Hermione's agreement, Li Lin and Hermione left the basement classroom together.

There are two more classes today, the Transfiguration class, and the Flying class.

The professor in the Transfiguration class is Professor McGonagall, who is also the Dean of Gryffindor House. She appeared almost with oppression, a feeling similar to facing Professor Snape in Potions class, but Snape's aura was chilling, or malicious, and Professor McGonagall was pure suppression.

She was strict and intelligent, and in order to arouse the interest of the students, and at the same time to give the students a dismount, she turned the podium into a dog, and turned it back into the podium in a stunned gaze.

"Transfiguration is the most complex and dangerous spell you'll ever have in Hogwarts classes."

Professor McGonagall said.

"Anyone who wants to be naughty in my class, I ask him out and never let him come in. I warned you. ”

At this point, neither Ravenclaw, who was known for his cleverness, nor Hufflepuff, who was honest about his friendship, was attracted by Professor McGonagall's hand. All of them are enthusiastic. I can't start learning right away.

Then they face reality. It will take a long time to turn furniture into animals.

After jotting down a large number of intricate notes, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a match and began to make them try to turn into a needle. This is stumped, Li Lin, he wields his wand, and the effect is almost the same as not waving it. But everyone was a beginner, and by the end of the lesson, all the students didn't react except for Hermione, who had made some changes to her matches.

Professor McGonagall complimented Hermione and showed the class Hermione's work.

Li Lin was sure that Hermione was happy, and this happy mood lasted from the end of the transformation class to the beginning of the flying class. Laughing all the way, sometimes even jumping twice while walking.

But when Hermione remembered that she was going to take flying lessons next, she immediately became nervous.

As for flying, Hermione, as a little wizard from a Muggle family, has a close experience with flying, and the only way to get close to flying is to fly, but this is completely different from flying in the air on a broomstick described in the book. It's also impossible to see this skill in a book and memorize it with your heart.

Hermione had thought of a book called Quidditch Tracing the Origins, but she didn't have it herself, and Li Lin wouldn't have bought it in a bookstore.

However, Li Lin still had some experience with flying, and he tried to pass on his shallow knowledge to Hermione to appease her exaggerated emotions.

Well, Li Lin himself can't fly, but his sister can. To be precise, in the entire Lovegood family, except for Li Lin, everyone else can fly.

This strong family atmosphere also allows Li Lin to keep talking about relevant knowledge at lunch, without having nothing to say.

In the afternoon, the flying lesson, which took place on the lawn outside the castle.

The Hogwarts Flying Lesson Professor is Lady Hodge, who is also a Quidditch Judge. She has short gray hair and two eyes that are yellow, like the eyes of an eagle.

Madame Hodge divided the old broom blowers from Hogwarts School and placed them on the ground.

If you want to fly, it's impossible, the young wizards in the first grade are still too young, and they don't have any foundation at all, how can they.

So......

"Okay, what are you all waiting for?"

Mrs. Hodge snapped.

"Everyone stood next to a broomstick. Hurry, hurry, hurry. ”

Li Lin stood with disgust next to the worn, old broom at his feet.

"Stretch out your right hand and place it above the broomstick,"

Mrs. Hooch shouted from the front.

"Then he said, 'Get up!.'"

"Get up!" Everyone shouted.

Li Lin saw Hermione's broom rolling on the ground, and reacted strongly.

And his flying broom didn't move at all. It's like growing on the ground.

The students shouted a few more times, Hermione's broom was the first to respond, flying to her hand, and the other students also grabbed it one after another, Li Lin had to take advantage of Mrs. Hodge's inattention, bent down to pick up the broomstick, and grabbed him in his hand.

Hermione saw this scene very clearly, and she glared at Li Lin. Li Lin smiled in return.

Mrs. Hodge then showed them how to mount a broomstick without slipping off their heads. She walked up and down the line, correcting their hand grips. Then she stopped by Li Lin's side for a while, looking rather strange. In the end, nothing was said.

"All right, as soon as I whistle, you kick your legs off the ground and kick hard."

Mrs. Hodge said.

"Hold the broom steady, rise a few feet, and lean forward slightly, falling vertically back to the ground. Listen to my whistle - three-two-"

Very well, except for Li Lin, all the students succeeded, floating a few feet into the air, obviously flying. And Li Lin, he also went into the air, and then fell vertically. But he did jump upwards with a broom between his legs, and then did a free fall.

Compared with the students who flew into the air, Li Lin suddenly felt very embarrassed.

But he didn't expect that this embarrassment would last for a long time.
