The look on Harry's face was surprisingly calm. And in the heart where no one can peep. He was in ecstasy.

Sure enough, what you learn is what you learn, and if you memorize the potion formula, you will memorize it. You can use the things you learned in advance! It really works!

The students present all looked at Harry with a look of shock. In their minds, Harry wasn't a scumbag in Potions. But how can it be possible to have a very good learning effect if you have been studying with a kind of rejection.

Harry's Potions grades had always been just reasonable. I don't have the idea of pre-study. Questions like this were not expected to be answered by Harry.

Taylor wasn't surprised.

Luke looked at Taylor and said with his eyes, "This is the student you taught?" ”

Taylor shook his head slightly, "It's Harry's own choice. ”

The recipe she had given Harry didn't go so deep. Without using a wand, the use of refined potions is relatively useless.

Basically, the shape and effect look exaggerated.

And Harry's current knowledge is undoubtedly the result of Taylor's influence, or rather, under the influence of practical needs, with special needs.

It can only be said that in Taylor's expectation, it means that the effect is surprisingly good.

Snape looked at Harry with a skeptical look, "What are the two most important things to prepare in advance of the Polyjuice Potion?" ”

Polyjuice decoction is equally well-known in the wizarding world. And the difficulty and duration of this potion are also the longest among the potions.

The most that the little wizards have heard of is that the process of boiling can be found in books. But how many people would care?

"Lacewings need to be boiled for twenty-one days, and weeds need to be picked at the full moon. With the addition of other ingredients, the whole process takes about a month! ”

Harry replied confidently again. If you let him boil a potion on the spot, he won't necessarily succeed. But if you want to test theory, then Harry will have to talk to you.

Looking at Harry's confident little expression, there was even a little smug in it. This made Snape's eyes even more cloudy. But in the next moment, Snape instantly regained his composure, and there was even a little regret in his expression.

"Mr. Potter, cheating is bad behavior."

Potter couldn't bear it anymore.

"I didn't cheat! Professor! ”

Harry's originally somewhat smug expression was replaced almost instantly by anger and humiliation. This is simply an insult to his personality.

Harry admits that he copies his homework and tries to cheat on exams. But this kind of thing he knows, so there is no need to cheat.

Luke, who was watching the play, sighed, glanced at Snape, and couldn't help but feel that Snape's methods were superb. As a professor, such skepticism doesn't even need much reason. There is no point in verifying it.

It's just this kind of thing, and when you say it, some people will be suspicious. Of course, this is also because Harry's progress is really too great. This kind of thing is put on Taylor, and Snape doesn't reply to anyone who says cheating.

But if it's Harry's word, someone will believe it.

Snape knew he should just ignore it now and get to class. And he didn't ask Harry any more questions for the whole lesson. This would allow Harry to have the most humiliating experience.

But looking at those eyes that contained anger, his movements and thoughts paused.

Luke, who is good at sensing emotions, and Taylor, who is good at reading other people's minds, can't help but look at Professor Snape again. They also know that a turnaround is coming.

"Oh, then, Mr. Potter, why don't you make a potion."

With that, Snape got up and walked towards the herb cabinet on the side.

Harry's heart thumped on the spot. He did memorize a lot of theories. But Potions doesn't mean that you can perform well just because you memorize a lot of theories. Especially the brewing of potions. It's a subject that looks a lot at talent and experience.

Harry subconsciously looked at Taylor. But Taylor completely ignored him. This kind of thing, since you have chosen to be just to the end, then don't think about relying on others.

Luke shook his head at Harry's pleading gaze, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

Of course, what he really wanted to say was......

"Be content, give you a chance, if you change someone, you will have to finish this class with this breath, and you will even be taken seriously."

This Harry! It's just that you don't know the blessing when you are in the midst of blessings.

Harry looked at Snape's back and really wanted to say, "Professor, I'm really convinced by you." ”

But he didn't dare to say it. And he also knows that if he doesn't do well this time, then he will have to carry out the name of cheating to the end.

So even though he knew there might be challenges, Harry was mentally prepared.

"Taylor. Go to the podium and show everyone the potions to be brewed in this lesson. ”

Snape said to Taylor without looking up as he searched the herb cupboard for the herb he needed.

"Okay, Professor."

Taylor replied softly, then got up and walked to the podium.

The students were also a little surprised by this situation. Although this happened occasionally in the last school year, it was only when the other students did not boil well that the professor would ask Taylor to go up and demonstrate an additional side, and would correct Taylor some bad habits and small problematic steps.

But now it's different. It seems that Professor Snape has fully believed in Taylor's ability to make potions. This kind of thing is ordered so casually, apparently that Taylor's ability is fully recognized.

Taylor was not polite, and walked up to the podium generously, briefly glanced at the prepared potion materials, glanced at the recipe, and nodded after confirming that he had guessed correctly, and then began to brew the potion.

After Taylor began teaching, Luke suddenly realized a blind spot.

Without Taylor's assistance by his side, the difficulty of this alchemy suddenly changed from super easy to average. That is, after the end of the last school year, his talent in Potions has improved, otherwise, Luke would have planned to go straight now.

On the other hand, Snape wasn't busy for long. The potion materials were quickly found and placed on Harry's desk.

"Need me to prepare a recipe for you? Mr. Potter? ”

Snape spoke in a teasing tone.

Harry, on the other hand, glanced at the things on the table, daisy roots, fig skins, caterpillars, a small drop of leech juice, and a rat's spleen.

Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"There is no need for a professor. It's about refining a shrinking agent, right? ”

Harry said as he looked at Snape confidently. Snape didn't have any extra expression on his face, just nodded silently.

"Then wait and see, Professor Snape!"

With that, Harry lowered his head and began to heat up his cauldron.

Shrinking agent, which is a potion that they can only learn in the third grade. In fact, Snape and the other professors knew that their pace of teaching was a bit slow for some students. For example, in Charms class, Luke's mastery of spells has surpassed that of most sixth and seventh graders. In Potions class, Taylor was no longer what students were supposed to learn.

And now it seems that the third-year potion brewing should be difficult for Harry in front of him.

Snape's eyes were a little complicated. Watching Harry's movements, he couldn't help but think of Lily after all. Lily is very good at potions. He is also very interested in brewing potions, and is even liked by Professor Slughorn. You must know that Professor Slughorn's consideration of students is not simply Potions talent. The vast majority of the people in the Slug Club are pure-blood aristocrats.

And Lily is one of the few Muggle-born wizards among them.

Now, Lily's son, has he also developed an interest in potions?

This...... Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Look at those haunting eyes, and that disgusting face. Snape felt incredibly complicated for a moment.

The other students made potions very easily. They weren't the little wizards of the last school year, and they still had to practice Snape's potion recipes. They can already brew some potions that will appear on the market.

In the eyes of some students who want to save money, they can now buy fewer potions.

Taking it out and buying it is certainly unlikely. After all, the potions they brewed themselves were not as stable as the potions sold in bulk on the market. The cost of making it yourself is only cheaper than the price of these simple potions in the market.

If you take it out and buy it, even if you buy it, the price will not be competitive. Because if the price is reduced again, it will already be a bit of a waste of time for beginners who are not proficient.

Of course, if there is a need for practice, it is a different story.

After their potions were brewed, Taylor checked them one by one. Among them, Seamus blew up his own cauldron again. Luke didn't even know how he did it, nearly half of his classes would explode in a semester.

Neville's potion was so poor that it could barely be sold at cost, and it could be said that such a potion could not even be sold at cost price. However, considering that Neville tried once and succeeded, it is enough to see Neville's progress. So Taylor also gave Neville a pass.

As for the others, there is no big problem either. Luke's potions worked decently, and Hermione's potions worked surprisingly well. Apparently he has his own new way of brewing potions.

With Taylor's proper release of water, everyone had a rather happy Potions lesson.

Of course, such a happy Potions lesson was exchanged for the sacrifice of a savior.

"It's the first time I've felt like Harry's name as the Savior fits so well."

Luke joked with Hermione beside him.

Hermione listened to Luke's words, and she was helpless. Luke really makes people feel nervous when he's serious, and when he's not serious, it really makes people cry and laugh.

"Professor. That's it! ”

While Luke was joking, Harry had finished brewing his own shrinking potion. Looking at the blue shrinker, Harry couldn't help but smile proudly.

And as soon as he looked up, he found that Snape was still in the same position, probably during his refining of medicine, staring at it all the time, motionless. Harry couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Do you just trust me like that?" Boil a shrinking potion and watch ...... from the side."

And Snape didn't care about Harry's little emotions, he watched Harry's boiling the whole process, although the method was rusty. But bold and careful, but also able to concentrate. Judging from the state of the input, it is false to say that you don't like potion brewing.

"That's right, you're done, judging from the state, the effect should be pretty good."

Snape nodded, looked at the shrinker, and said, "It looks like Mr. Potter did study hard during the holidays." ”

With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the podium.

The lesson is also coming to an end.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the first Potions class of the new school year has been spent in such a thrilling way.

Harry was also happy that he had made it through. He swung his arm so hard that his elbow accidentally hit the large spoon used to make potions. The big spoon stood up and slammed on Harry's head.

Harry clutched his head in pain. The surrounding students burst out laughing.

And in the midst of laughter. Snape's cold voice rang out again.

"Gryffindor, add five points. It is a minifier for Mr. Porter. ”

The scene changed from a bustle to silence.

Even Harry looked at Snape in disbelief. He actually got extra points from Snape's hands?

Ron was even more horrified. What's wrong with the world? Did Merlin crawl out of the ground?

Snape didn't react, just grimaced, and continued, "Slytherin, add ten." Wonderful lecture for Miss Barbara. Of course, the next time I need you to substitute for a teacher, I hope you can come up with my normal request. ”

"Okay professor."

Taylor replied with a smile.

The bell rang, and Snape waved his hand, "Class is over, everyone." ”

"Goodbye! Professor Snape! ”

When they walked out of the classroom, most of the students still looked incredulous. Of course, whether it's Harry's plus or Taylor's, they are convinced.

After all, one is to refine the potion that can only be learned in the third grade. The other takes the place of the professor directly.

"Harry has changed a lot."

Hermione said as she looked at Harry, who was messing with Ron in front of her.

Luke nodded, "But...... It's a good thing. ”

And at this moment, Luke suddenly heard a hoarse voice.

"Blood, kill, eat ......"

Luke's brow furrowed.

This is the voice of the basilisk...... He had always thought that the basilisk had been awakened by Voldemort. And now, it seems, is not. It could be hungry, or it could be a set time to wake up. After all, Luke was by Voldemort's Horcruxes last night, and he knew very well that Voldemort didn't have time to go to the secret room.

Luke didn't care, though. After all, in the matter of the basilisk, it is best for him to wait for the situation to ferment and appear as a savior.

But......

"Heir, prophecy, Gaunt! Come! Chamber! ”
