Chapter 14: Professor Snape

"Quick, quick, quicker Ron!" Al covered his eyes helplessly as there was a rush of footsteps and shouts in the hallway. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It must be Harry and Ron, I got up in the morning and called them, but it didn't work. Al whispered to Hermione and Neville beside him. Professor McGonagall suddenly threw the light of wood at him, and the three little ones straightened up and didn't dare to move!

"Report ...... Report!" The door was pushed open, and Harry and Ron stood in the doorway with embarrassed expressions, and their Adam's apples moved, showing that they were nervous at the moment! It's the third day of coming to Hogwarts, but the two poor guys still haven't adjusted to the Hogwarts routine and the moving corridors, "What a damn corridor." "The two must have thought so at this moment!" Professor McGonagall's attention was quickly drawn to it.

"Hello, Mr. Harry Potter, and Mr. Ron Willes, I think I need a reasonable explanation for you two being late for half a class. Professor McGonagall looked serious, her head down, her eyes constantly sweeping between Harry and Ron!

"I'm sorry...... Professor McGonagall...... We...... Lost!" Harry glanced at Ron, who was still gasping for breath from the violent run. Harry didn't get any better, after all, it was a long way from the tower of Hogwarts!

"Lost......" Professor McGonagall grimaced, "Anyway, get up late or get lost, etc., Gryffindor has been deducted ten points, now go back to your seats!"

With that, Professor McGonagall turned her head away and resumed her lesson on elementary transfiguration. Harry and Ron looked at each other with an embarrassed face, and returned to their actions in a daze, in the past three days, Gryffindor has been deducted 35 points because of big and small things, and more than half of the midterm is because of the two of them being late!

After class, packing up their things, Harry and Ron walked behind everyone dejectedly, looking at the people laughing in front of them, Harry and Ron felt embarrassed, and glanced at each other, an unspoken frustration spread between the two!

"Hey!" Al saw the awkward atmosphere between the two of them, and took a slight two steps behind and stepped back to Harry and Ron's side.

"Harry, Ron, don't be so downcast, it's nothing, the points deducted can still be added back, no problem, I believe you both. ”

"I know, Al, but ......," Harry said mid-sentence, when he suddenly remembered his embarrassment, he didn't know anything, and he wasn't the best at studying. There are two college tyrants, Al and Hermione, and the extra points in terms of grades are basically not obtained. As for the other aspects, Harry didn't know what stood out about him, and so did Ron!

"Nothing, Harry, Ron!" Al smiled slightly. "There's always going to be a chance, isn't it, I trust you. ”

"Al, Harry, Ron, you three hurry up! Hermione stopped in front of the door, turned around and yelled at the trio!, "Don't be late!" Hermione was clearly not happy with the trio's struggle!

"Oh, Hermione, come on!" Al took two quick steps and winked at Harry and Ron!

"What are you doing in the back?" asked Hermione, curious.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that Harry and Ron are a little frustrated!" Al looked at Harry and Ron who were following him, smiled at Hermione and shook his head, saying that he would not continue the conversation!

The Potions classroom was on the third basement floor of the castle, and the atmosphere was very dark, with a pile of copper or tin cauldrons illuminated by the dim light, and a bookshelves piled up on one side of the classroom, on which were piled up with books on Potions, which Al wanted to see, this was the first thought that El had when he came here.

"Al, it's uncomfortable here. Hermione tugged at Rael's sleeve, and in a cauldron in front of the classroom, something was boiling all the time, gurgling!

"It's okay, Hermione, I think Professor Snape is cooking some potion ingredients. Al was very curious about what was in the pot, although the darkness could not stop his gaze, but the black whirring things in the pot were completely unrecognizable to people what kind of material it was, or what kind of potion it was!

After everyone sat down, after a while, a figure in a black robe came in from the door, with a hooked nose and a somewhat pale face, perhaps caused by studying potions here on the third basement floor for many years. A pair of big gloomy eyes, as if they were tired of everything. This is Professor Snape!Al looked excited, he had a ton of questions to ask the Hogwarts Potions teacher!

"Now, turn your book to page thirteen of your textbook. Snape's face grimaced, and he continued, "Here, I think I'll start by talking about the rules of Potions class, the first point, don't ask questions in class,. The second point is, what I ask, you answer. Point 3......"

Snape paced slowly through the classroom, slowly walking in front of Harry. "Thirdly, some people are not allowed to think that they are special and engage in individualistic things, such as disrespect, etc., you are right, Harry Potter!"

Snape's eagle-like wooden light stared at Harry tightly, and then turned back sharply without giving Harry a chance to answer.

"Professor Snape, what if we don't understand something. Hermione raised her hand and asked suddenly.

"I said no, don't ask questions, Gryffindor deducts ten points. Snape said without looking back!

Seeing that Hermione still wanted to refute, Al pulled Hermione to sit down and motioned for Hermione not to continue asking questions, it seems that Professor Snape is very difficult to get along with!

"Does anyone know how porcupine thorns are used?" asked Snape, squeezing sharply. "Answer, Mr. Potter!" Snape ignored Hermione, who was raising his hand in the air, and asked Harry directly.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I didn't know ......"

"It's sad!" Snape sighed and shook his head, but it didn't look like disappointment, it looked more like mockery!

"Then I'm asking you a question, did you know that porcupine spines are often used for that kind of potion configuration?"

“...... I'm sorry, professor, I don't know ......"

Hermione was still holding her arms high on the side!

"It's a pity, Mr. Potter, that you don't even go to review!, or do you think a little Potions doesn't need to be taken to heart, our great savior, Mr. Harry Potter!" Snape still didn't give Harry a chance to speak. "Gryffindor is deducting five points, Mr. Potter!"

"You can't do that, and besides, we don't need porcupine spines for potions today!" Harry retorted loudly. The violent rise and fall of his chest showed the anger in Harry's heart at this time!

"What are you talking about? My class, I have the final say, Gryffindor has been deducted 50 points again, reason, Mr. Harry Potter is disrespectful!"
