Chapter 14 The evaluation of events should not be influenced by personal preferences
She turned her head, and Hermione could only spread her hands helplessly, and next to her stood Lavender Brown.
Professor Snape walked in quickly, and Jane had to give Linde a hard wink, and then sat upright.
"Gryffindor deducts 5 points, and any of you are late." Snape said as he walked.
Snape, like Professor Flitwick, picked up the roster first. Snape glanced at him as he read Linde. After that, the roll call continued.
This made him a little confused.
"Oh, yes," he whispered, "Harry Potter, this is our new arrivalβthe famous one."
The trio of Draco Malfoy turned to look at Harry, and chuckled with their hands over their mouths.
Snape finished the roll call, and looked up at the class.
"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 that smoking, the fragrance wafting out, and you don't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the thrilling and disorienting of the will...... I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop deathβbut one thing has to be, and that is that you are not the kind of fools and fools I often encounter. β
After Snape's short opening remarks, the class fell silent. Harry and Ron raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances.
Lind also heard the squeak of moving a chair behind her, and it was Hermione. She couldn't wait to prove that she wasn't stupid.
As expected, Harry was suddenly called out by Snape to answer a question.
"What do I get if I add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?"
Lind hurriedly turned around and looked in Harry's direction, and Snape leaned in towards Harry.
"It's a pity not to watch the classic scene." Linde thought in his heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily raised.
Hermione raised her hand high, but Snape didn't even look at it.
Harry scanned around in a daze, and saw that no one could help him, so he could only say "I don't know, sir." β
"Tut-tut, it seems that fame doesn't mean everything." Snape said in a contemptuous tone.
"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to go and find me a piece of dungstone, where would you find it? Snape asked again.
Hermione tried to keep her hands high without leaving her seat, but Harry had no idea what the dung stone was. He tried not to look at Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, and the three of them trembled with laughter.
"I don't know, sir."
"I don't think you opened a book before school started, did you?"
"I ......"
"No need to answer, your performance is the answer, Augustus, you are smiling so well! What's wrong? Are you happy to see the famous Mr. Potter unlucky? β
Linde was stunned, and Hermione's raised hand loosened.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Snape was deliberately making things difficult for Harry, and what was Lind's behavior when he was a fellow Gryffindor classmate and the Slytherin guys laughing at Harry?
And Lindh himself can swear to God, although he does have a play-watching mentality in his heart, but he really doesn't "laugh very well" as Snape said! β
Everyone's attention was on Harry just now, and Snape's remark directly made many people equate his 'laugh' with the ridicule of Malfoy and others.
Lind stood up, "Professor Snape, I wasn't laughing at Harry, I just thought of something funny. β
"What's the fun? Maybe you can share it with everyone. Snape stared at him.
"Hmm! I dreamed that I had become a handsome knight riding a horse in the middle of the Black Lagoon. β
Linde made up a random mess, it was a dream anyway, it didn't matter what you said. Snape's face twitched.
Hearing this, he was actually quite relieved, only a child in a warm family environment can have this kind of dream! After all, he himself wouldn't have been like Linde when he was a child......
"Do you think that's humorous? Augustus. Snape's face darkened a little more.
"I think it's quite intentional......," Linde replied with a nonchalant expression.
"That's enough, you answer the question!" Snape roared.
"Together, narcissus root powder and wormwood can be formulated into a very potent sleeping pill, which is a serving of life and death water.
Dung stone is a type of stone taken from the stomach of a goat and has a strong detoxifying effect. Linde said the answer in one breath.
Hearing Linde's words, Snape's face looked a little better.
"It seems that you have read books, and you are much better than some guys who are only famous." Snape said lightly, then returned to the podium.
Snape then asked them to concoct a simple potion for boils.
By the end of the lesson, the combination of Seamus and Neville unsurprisingly had created a high-damage explosive potion, and Gryffindor was deducted points for their excellent performance.
Snape spent the longest time at Harry and Linde's table.
It wasn't until the end of class that Linde and her roommates walked out of the classroom.
"Whew! The week of classes is finally over, how about we go back to playing wizard chess? "Belliver still hasn't given up wanting to pull Linde into the wizarding chess pit.
Linde thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. It's time for some entertainment besides reading books.
ββββββββ
"I feel like Snape is targeting Linde and Harry." Jane said to Hermione.
"No, how could he, as a teacher, target two little wizards for no reason, if you want to say that he hates Gryffindor, I can accept it."
"No, you didn't see it before, I was right next to Linde and I could see it clearly, Lynde didn't smile at all when Snape asked Harry, at most the corners of his mouth went up a little.
And he kept staring at Linde when he was concocting the potion just now, just looking for an opportunity to deduct his points, I think it may be that Linde answered his question very easily just now and made him a little uncomfortable. Jane told Hermione everything she had just seen in class
"But he didn't really deduct Linde's points, what you said was just his own conjecture. By the way, didn't you hate him before? Why are you talking to him now? Hermione suddenly changed the subject and looked at Jane with a teasing expression.
Jane didn't care at all about Hermione's funny tone, and raised her head generously
"I'm just stating the facts, and Snape was targeting them. As much as I hate him, I don't let my personal preferences affect my opinion of it.
As my grandmother told me, you can't judge a wizard in history by your own liking, because then you can never get an objective result."
"Like we talk about Salazar Slytherin?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, Salazar was rejecting Muggles, but that was in the social environment of the time......"
The topic of the two little witches then turned into a discussion of the history of magic, and then extended to the founding of Hogwarts, etc.
