Chapter XXXVIII
"What lessons do we have today?" Harry asked Ron as he put sugar in the cereal. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Two Potions lessons with the Slytherin students." Ron said, "Snape was the head of Slytherin's house, and they all said he was biased towards his students, and now we can see if that's the case." β
"You don't need to look at it, I can guarantee that it will make you jealous of absolute partiality." Lin Yiyan said while drinking porridge.
"Let's hope Professor McGonagall will favor us." Harry said. Professor McGonagall is the dean of Gryffindor House, but she left them a lot of homework yesterday.
While I was talking, the mail arrived. There were two owls carrying a huge package together, and threw this huge package onto Lin Yiyan's leg, almost breaking Lin Yiyan's leg! Looking at the half-human-tall thing, Ron was surprised and asked, "Although it's rude to ask that, did you buy anything?" With such a large package? β
"It's just some books, I ordered it with the owner of the Blotted Bookstore before school started!" Lin Yiyan waved his hand and sent this huge into the small world, looking at the thing that suddenly disappeared, Ron glared and said with envy, "Although it's not the first time I've seen it, but your hand is really magical!" β
Lin Yiyan shrugged with a smile, then watched as Harry's Hedwig flapped her wings and landed between the jam plate and the sugar jar, placing a note on Harry's plate. Seeing this scene, Lin Yiyan said without raising his head, "It's Hagrid's invitation." β
Harry looked at Lin Yiyan in surprise and said, "How do you know?" β
"I know a lot, wait for Potions class, if you don't want Gryffindor points deducted. Just remember this: the water of life and death, and the stomach of the ox, are all aconitum. Lin Yiyan said.
"Why? What is this? Harry asked.
"Don't ask too much, you'll find out later." Lin Yiyan pulled up Ron, who was still gobbling up, "Don't eat it, do you want to grow like Goyle?" β
"What?" Ron said as he looked at Goyle, who was feasting on the Slytherin table.
"It's time to go to class, you rice bucket." Lin Yiyan said. Potions classes are held in an underground classroom. It's darker than the main castle building above, and along the walls are glass jars soaked in taxidermy. Snape, like Flitwick, picked up the roster as soon as class started, and like Flitwick, he always stopped when he called Harry's name.
"Oh, yes," he whispered, "Harry Potter, this is our new arrivalβthe famous one." Draco Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle laughed with their hands over their mouths. When Snape finished the roll call, he looked up at the class, his eyes as black as Hagrid's, but without Hagrid's warmth. His eyes are cold and hollow, reminding you of two dark tunnels.
"You've come here to learn the exact science and rigor of this potion." He spoke, almost a little louder than a whisper, but everyone could hear every word he said. Like Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order effortlessly. It's just that the corners of Lin Yiyan's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, in fact, Lin Yiyan is very similar to asking, there is a relationship between magic and science?
"Since there is no foolish waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe in magic here. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the simmering cauldron of white smoke and the fragrance wafting from it, and you don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the mystical magic that makes people feel so delightful and disorienting that I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew honor, and even stop deathβbut one thing must be that you are not the kind of fools and fools I often encounter. β
After his short opening remarks, the class fell silent. Lin Yiyan noticed that Harry and Ron were exchanging glances, and Hermione Granger almost moved to the edge of the chair and leaned forward, looking like a rabbit in impatience.
"Potter!" Snape suddenly said, "What do I get if I add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?" β
"Well, it's life and death." Harry replied blankly.
Snape pursed his lips disdainfully.
"If I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it?"
"In the stomach of a cow? Mr. Harry replied. Snape continued unbelieving and asked, "Then what is the difference between scapular aconitum and lupus venom aconitum?" β
"It's all aconitum." Harry said confidently.
"Sit down!" He yelled at Harry and the others, "Why don't you write it down? β
Then there was a rustle of brushes and parchment. Lin Yiyan, who had been prepared for a long time, was waving his magic wand and writing automatically, while he was constantly flipping through the various books and materials transmitted by T-X2 through Jarvis on the neural connection device.
Harry answered correctly because of Lin Yiyan's help, but the situation of the Gryffindor students did not improve. Snape divided them into groups of three and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies. Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, looking at them as dry hemp, crushing snake's fangs, and almost all of the students were criticized, except for Malfoy, who seemed to be Snape's preferred student.
Just as he showed everyone how perfect Malfoy's method of steaming tentacled slugs was, a thick puff of acidic green smoke suddenly rose from the underground classroom, and a loud sizzling sound was heard. Neville somehow burned Seamus's hot pot into a crooked piece, and the potion in the pot spilled onto the stone slab, and Lin Yiyan quickly pulled Harry and Ron to stand on the stool. Neville was soaked in potions, and his arms and legs were covered in red, swollen scabies, and he screamed in pain.
"Idiot!" Snape roared, waving his wand to sweep away the potion that had been spilled on the ground, "I suppose you probably put the porcupine thorns in without opening the pot from the fire, did you?" Neville sobbed and cried, and even his nose suddenly appeared with many scabies.
"Send him to the hospital room above." Snape snapped at Seamus. Then he walked around Lin Yiyan and the others, and they were still some distance away from Neville.
An hour later, they climbed the stairs out of the basement classroom, and Harry was in a depressed mood. However, he still thanked Lin Yiyan beside him, "Thank you!" β
"You're welcome, but it's better to be cautious in the future, although Snape ......" Lin Yiyan, who didn't know what to say for a while, only hesitated for a moment and said, "Anyway, it's better to be careful!" β
"Yi Yan is right!" Ron comforted Harry, "Cheer up, can we go with you to Hagrid?" At three o'clock and five o'clock, they left the castle and went out through the fields. Hagrid lives in a small cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with a stone bow and a pair of rubber galoshes in front of the gate. As Harry knocked on the door, they heard a nervous struggle and a few muffled barks coming from inside the room. Then came Hagrid's voice, "Back off, tooth, back off." β
Hagrid opened the door open, revealing his large, bearded face.
"Wait a minute." He said, "Stand back, tooth." Hagrid let them in, desperately clutching at the collar of a large black hound. There is only one room in the chalet. Ham and pheasants hung from the ceiling, boiling water was boiled in a brazier, and a large bed with rags of bedding was placed in the corner.
"You're welcome." Hagrid said, letting go of his teeth. Yaya immediately pounced on Lin Yiyan, Lin Yiyan hurriedly flashed, and Ron behind him was pounced. Like Hagrid, Tooth is clearly not as fierce as he looks.
"This is Lin Yiyan." Harry pointed at Lin Yiyan and said.
"Hello, Hagrid." Lin Yiyan said with a smile.
"You're the one who spelled Malfoy with the spell in the first place?" Brother Hai persuaded with concern, "However, although Professor Dumbledore helped you cover, you still have to be careful of Malfoy's family, they are not good people!" Obviously, Hagrid knew exactly what was going on.
"I know!" Lin Yiyan said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of them!" β
"Hagrid knows about Yi Yan?" Halich said.
"Just like you, you're a celebrity!" Hagrid laughed with a pun.
"Hehe, is it......" Harry didn't realize this, and then continued to introduce Hagrid, "This is Ron! β
"Another little Weasley brother, right?" Hagrid poured boiling water into a large teapot and placed the crust cake on his plate, glancing at Ron's fat face, "It took me almost half of my life to get the twins out of the forest. β
Lin Yiyan knew the hardness of the rock skin cake, so he didn't touch it. Harry and Ron, the two little fools, pretended to be very fond of food, and told Hagrid about the past few days of class. Tooth rested his head on Harry's lap, saliva staining his robe.
Harry and Ron were delighted to hear Hagrid call Filch "that old rice bucket".
"As for the cat, it's Lady Loris. Someday, I'd love to introduce her to my Yaya. You know, every time I go to school, it follows me everywhere I go, and I can't shake it off, and Filch must have made it do that. β
Harry told Hagrid about Snape's lesson, and told Hagrid that Snape seemed to hate him. Hagrid, like Ron, told Harry not to worry, as Snape had hardly ever liked any of the students.
"How's your brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron. "I like him a lot -- he has a lot of things to do with animals." Even Ron knew Hagrid was changing the subject. When Ron told Hagrid about Charlie's research on dragons, Harry eventually found a small piece of paper under the teapot heater, which was a clip cut out of the Daily Prophet. (To be continued.) )
