Chapter 12: Potions Lesson!

A hundred or so owls suddenly flew into the dining room, and these owls flew around the table until they found their respective owners, throwing letters or packages into their laps.

Harry's owl, Hedwig, fluttered her wings and landed between the jam pan and the sugar pot, placing a note on Harry's plate.

Harry immediately opened the note, and Liu Jiecao, who was sitting on the side, flashed his eyes and saw the contents of it directly. Although the handwriting on it is very sloppy, it is still difficult for Liu Jiecao's sharp eyes.

Dear Harry: I know you don't have a class on Friday afternoon, so I wonder if you can come and have tea with me around 3 p.m.? I'd love to know how your first week went. Please let Hedwig hear back to me.

Hagrid

Harry borrowed a quill from Ron and hurriedly wrote on the back of the note, "Okay, I'll be happy to see you soon." Then let Hedwig fly away.

Luckily, Harry was still looking forward to drinking tea with Hagrid, as Potions was the most boring class Harry had since he entered Hogwarts.

Not only did Harry remember the Potions class, especially the first Potions class, but even Liu Jiecao still couldn't completely forget the first Potions class that happened next.

It's been said that first impressions are the most important thing, and that's exactly what happened.

Potions class is held in an underground classroom. It's darker than the main castle building above. Glass jars are lined up along the walls, and the soaked taxidermy insides make you shiver.

Snape, like Flitwick, picked up the roster as soon as class started, and like Flitwick, he always stopped when Harry's name was called.

"Oh yes," he whispered, "Harry Potter, this is our new arrivalβ€”the famous one." ”

Draco. Malfoy and his friends Crabbe and Goyle laughed with their hands over their mouths. Snape finished the roll call, and looked up at the class. His eyes were as black as Hagrid's, but they didn't have Hagrid's warmth. His eyes are cold and hollow, reminding you of two tunnels in total darkness.

"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. "Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe that it is magic. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the simmering cauldron of white smoke and fragrance, and you don't really understand the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic of the heart-stirring and mind-shifting, I can teach you how to increase your prestige and brew glory. Even to prevent death - but there has to be one thing, and that is that you are not the kind of stupid fools I often encounter. ”

After his short opening remarks, the class fell silent. Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances. Hermione Granger almost moved to the edge of her chair and leaned forward, seemingly eager to prove that she wasn't a fool.

Liu Jiecao and other friends were expressionless and completely indifferent to this.

"Potter!" Snape suddenly said, "What do I get if I add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?" ”

What grass root powder is put into what solution? Harry glanced at Ron, who was just as stunned as he was; Hermione's arms were raised high into the air.

Liu Jiecao and his friends were also at a loss. Because they hadn't studied potions at all, because they were all busy learning the ability to telepathize and trying to learn magic.

"I don't know, sir." Harry said.

Snape pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Tsk. Tsk - it seems that fame is not everything. ”

Snape deliberately ignored Hermione's raised arm and asked, "Let's try again." Potter, if I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it? ”

Hermione tried not to leave her seat. Raising his hand high, Harry didn't know what a bezoar was. He tried not to look at Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, and the three of them trembled with laughter.

"I don't know," he said. Mr. ”

"I don't think you opened a book before school started, did you, Potter?" Snape sneered.

Harry forced himself to stare straight into his cold eyes. He did turn over all the books when he was at Dursley, but could Snape ask him to memorize all the contents of A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms?

Snape ignored Hermione's trembling arm and continued to ask, "Potter, what is the difference between scaphoid aconitum and wolf venom aconitum?" ”

At this point, Hermione stood up, her hand reaching straight for the ceiling of the basement classroom.

Liu Jiecao looked at poor Hermione with a look of pity. And his friends continued to be expressionless, and this little thing could not arouse their emotions at all.

Even Lihua Song and Gu Yueling, who are usually a little lively, showed a face that looked a little numb at this time.

Could it be that Liu Jiecao will tell others that these loli are not focused on the classroom now, and are mainly thinking about the cultivation of ability, concentrating and imagining the ability they want in the future?

In the classroom, the person who is really listening to the class seems to be only Liu Jiecao, and his friends don't have to expect too much for the time being.

Every night, Liu Jiecao helped them make up lessons in simple terms, and the time in the dream state was much longer than in the outside world, so there was no need for them to listen to these lessons.

However, at this time, the important thing is not Liu Jiecao, but the unlucky protagonist of the plot, Harry. Potter.

"I don't know." Harry whispered, "But, I suppose, Hermione knows the answer, why don't you ask her?" ”

A few students burst out laughing. Harry met Seamus's gaze, and Seamus winked at him. Snape, of course, was upset.

"Sit down." Snape shouted angrily at Hermione, "Let me tell you, Potter, Narcissus Root Powder and Wormwood together can be combined to make a very potent sleeping pill, which is a dose of life and death water. The bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow and has a strong detoxifying effect. As for Aconitum scaphoida and Aconitum lupus, they are the same plant, also collectively referred to as Aconitum sinensis. Do you understand? Why don't you write it all down? ”

At this moment, there was a sudden rustle of fumbling with quill pens and parchment.

After receiving Liu Jiecao's transmission, the Lolitas seemed to have just come back to their senses, and they also pretended to write something, and began to scribble things on the paper.

In the midst of the cacophony, Snape said, "Potter, Gryffindor will be deducted a point for you confronting the teacher. ”

Potions classes continued, but the situation for the Gryffindor students did not improve. Snape divided them into pairs and instructed them to mix a simple potion for scabies.

Since she finally had something practical, especially the white crow, her eyes began to brighten. Liu Jiecao felt that her main consciousness was beginning to descend completely, and it seemed that she wanted to learn some magic potions through this course, help her touch the class, and improve some of the knowledge of refining weapons and refining medicine learned in the martial arts world.

Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them call dried nettles and crush snakes' fangs, and almost all of the students were criticized.

Even though Liu Jiecao and his friends are far better than others, they are still no exception. Only Malfoy was spared, although the thing wasn't really doing well, and it seemed that Malfoy was Snape's preferred student.

Just as Snape showed everyone how perfectly Malfoy cooked the tentacled slugs, there was a sudden burst of acidic green smoke and a loud sizzling sound from the underground classroom.

Neville somehow burned Seamus's hot pot into a crooked piece, and the potion spilled on the stone floor, burning holes in the classmates' shoes.

Within seconds, the class was on the stool, and Neville was drenched in potion as the pot was knocked over, and his arms and legs were covered in red, swollen scabies, and he screamed in pain.

"Idiot!" Snape roared, swung his wand away the potion that had been spilled on the ground, and continued, "I suppose you probably put the porcupine thorns in without opening the pot from the fire, did you?" ”

Neville sobbed and cried, and even a lot of scabies popped up on his nose.

"Send him to the hospital room above." Snape snapped at Seamus.

He then circled around Harry and Ron, who were right next to Neville.

"Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine thorns? Do you think he's going wrong and showing you? Gryffindor lost another point because of you. Snape said coldly.

It was so unfair, and Harry was about to defend himself when Ron kicked him from behind the pot.

"Don't mess around." He whispered, "I've heard that Snape is particularly unreasonable. ”

An hour later, they climbed the stairs out of the basement classroom, Harry's mind tumbling and depressed.

Gryffindor had been deducted two points for Harry in the first week of school, and he didn't know why Snape hated him so much. This matter is important to Harry. Potter's blow was particularly hard.

"Cheer up," Ron said, "Snape often deducts points from Fred and George. Can I come with you to Hagrid? ”

Suddenly, Ron turned to Liu Jiecao and asked, "Are you going with you?" ”

Liu Jiecao shook his head, pointed to the lolis not far away and said, "There will be some things later, you can go." ”

In fact, it's an excuse. Liu Jiecao had no interest in Hagrid's giant at all, even though he approached Harry and Ron, but he didn't have to contact Hagrid.

Even though I may have to contact it in the future, it is definitely not now.

However, Liu Jiecao did have something to do with the lolias, and he felt the need to study some things in the Potions class before.

Also, the Lolitas seem to have mixed up with Hermione, and I wonder when they established this friendship? (To be continued......)
