Chapter 36: Potions and Malatang

In the quiet history of magic class, questions were heard one after another, and the lively scene was like a fan meeting.

Not to mention Professor Binns, even Professor McGonagall, who happened to be passing by, was stunned.

She had taken the history of magic back then, and she was also in a daze and half-asleep, and she knew what this class was all about.

But hearing the unreasonable laughter in the classroom, she almost thought that this group of little wizards had sent Professor Binns away in a ghost state completely.

How could you be so happy otherwise?

Indeed, as the little wizard expected, Professor Binns was so confused that he couldn't tell the student's name from his house, and he always got it wrong, but he didn't seem to be confused......

Because he can always shout with precision and force: "Slytherin deducts two points!" ”

It seems all Slytherin's fault!

What a hatred and resentment this must be.

It's not that the other three houses have been injured by mistake, but when Slytherin was so far ahead, it was only the Snake House that was injured.

At the end of the lesson, Slytherin was deducted a full one hundred and fifty points under the fierce attack of the Gryffindor wizards.

At the end of class, everyone was talking about this little trick, and many students were looking forward to the history of magic.

Rove became even more famous, and even heard his name for the portrait in Hogwarts Castle, and wanted to meet this little wizard who made big news every day.

The fat lady of Gryffindor even changed the password to "Scamander", because she remembered a portrait named Scamander, and the two had a good night in the fire dragon.

But the price of such fame was terrible, and while eating in the Great Hall at noon, Professor Snape took his eyes off Harry's eyes and turned to Rove.

This school year is a crucial year for Slytherin, as they are hitting for seven consecutive titles.

"Seven" is a magical number, and there has never been a house in the history of Hogwarts that has been able to monopolize the House Cup for seven consecutive years.

Professor Snape wanted to challenge the record and add to his little resume.

As six-time House Cup winners, Slytherin are certainly strong, but the secret to their strength is not in scoring...... It's about deducting points!

Professor Snape was a ruthless point machine, dragging his robe around in class every day, frantically deducting points from other houses.

In previous years, he only worked hard after Christmas, but this school year, in order to ensure that there are no accidents, he started to score crazy at the beginning of the semester!

[As long as you deduct the scores from other houses, the first place is naturally Slytherin]

It has to be said that the effect of this concept was immediate, and in just a few days, Slytherin firmly occupied the first place, and opened a big gap with Ravenclaw in second place.

But now, a lesson in the history of magic has caused the Snake House to fall to third, which is only higher than the fourth Gryffindor, how can Snape not be angry!

As for why are Gryffindor scores so low?

Of course, it was Professor Snape's precise strikes, especially Harry's fifty points in the first class.

Rove felt innocent.

Both the Deathly Hallows and the three Peverell brothers are real, so he is interested in the authenticity of the Grim Reaper.

It just so happened that Professor Binns talked about Gilgamesh's search for death, and Rove wanted to have a friendly academic discussion, who would have thought that Professor Binns would deduct points and catch a snake in Slytherin.

Rove didn't mean it, but as the initiator, he inadvertently started the era of Slytherin deductions......

Coupled with the controversy caused by Malfoy at the beginning of the school year, with Snape's character, he must count the old and new hatreds in Potions class!

While eating in the auditorium, many students ran over to comfort Rove, and it seemed that his death sentence had been announced in advance.

Even Harry leaned over and comforted him with his own tragic experience, to be strong and not to give up hope!

Harry was kind of a show up, because he was asked a lot of questions by Snape in the first lesson.

When Harry replied, he also kept in mind Ron's advice not to open his eyes to Snape, but he was found to be sleeping in class and deducted five points;

When Harry opened his eyes, Snape glared at the professor with an intent to intimidate, and deducted five more points;

When Harry opened his eyes and didn't look directly at Professor Snape, he was found to have despised the professor and scolded him with an ugly face, and another five points were deducted!

When Harry accidentally broke the bottle containing the potion, he was deducted five points for destroying public property; And just a minute later, Malfoy smashed the bottle, only to add five points.

The reason was that Malfoy had assisted Snape in destroying the flawed utensils and averted a teaching accident.

So in the History of Magic class, Harry was the student who asked the most questions, just to repay Snape for the damage he had done to his young mind.

On Friday afternoon, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw had Potions class in a basement.

The decoration of the whole room is also as good as possible in the underworldly style, and the air is filled with the smell of formalin, like a morgue, and there are large and small glass jars along the walls, which are soaked in lifelike animal specimens.

Human skeletons hung on the walls, and the lifeless empty eye sockets of the skulls were facing the students, and when the young wizard approached, the skulls would suddenly let out a "skull" laugh.

In the corner, there was a mummy, wrapped in strips of cloth, revealing a withered face, two blushes, and a pale face, with an inscription that read:

Daily necessities.

"Professor...... What's the matter with the mummy......" McMillan asked with a trembling hand before class.

Professor Snape was not angry, but patiently explained:

"This is a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor from a few years ago who borrowed my room to make potions...... But the wrong step caused the potion to fail, and he became a mummy after drinking it. ”

"Potions...... Is it so dangerous? ”

"No, it's not that dangerous......," Snape sneered, dragging his voice, "as long as you're not the stupid fools I've met so often, you're safe." ”

Quite a few students swallowed their spits, apparently with a clear idea of their intelligence.

"Of course, even if you are a fool, I promise that I will not turn you into a mummy." Snape grinned:

"But whether you will lie in the school hospital or not, it's not up to me to decide, it depends on how smart you are than the trolls."

The little wizards were silent, and Rove glanced at Neville to the side, and saw that his lips were white and his whole body was trembling.

"Are you alright?" He asked silently.

Neville just shook his head, but shook harder.

Snape began to pick up the roster, and when he clicked on Neville, Neville was so scared that he let out a long trill of "ah~" that was very ecstatic, like the heroine in a romance movie who was stuck in the washing machine.

Snape paused, his black eyes staring at Neville, and said coldly, "Mr. Longbottom, if you dare to make that sound again, be careful that I ......"

Neville was so nervous that he wanted to say "yes", but when the words came to his lips, he trembled and ecstasy:

"Ah~ Professor Snape!"

Everyone didn't dare to laugh out loud, afraid that Professor Snape would be turned into a mummy and hung on the wall to become a new daily necessities, but they also endured it so hard that their faces were distorted.

Snape dragged his robes and walked slowly to Neville's side, staring at him intently, and then the professor suddenly turned to look at Rove and said:

"Scamander, why don't you stop Longbottom? When you see your classmates making a fool of themselves, can you show how good you are?

Hufflepuff deducts five points! ”

“……”

"What, dissatisfied?" Snape lowered his voice and said, "Yes, Rolf Scamander, grandson of the famous Mr. Newt Scamander...... Hopefully, you won't be expelled from Hogwarts like your grandfather. ”

Snape was very aggressive at the beginning, he waved his robe, strode back to the podium, and said in a hoarse voice:

"You're here to learn the ancient and delicate art of potion making."

"What is a potion?"

"Shattered entrails, clotted blood, tangled tentacles, twisted plants, shriveled limbs, mutilated brains, scarlet fruits...... Tumbling in the opposition of red and white, silent in the blend of yellow and brown...... It's a timeless, wonderful art. ”

Rove licked his lips, and for some reason, he remembered Malatang and hot pot

Hungry!
