Chapter Forty-Eight: Snape: Hufflepuff Plus Twenty Points!

Many of the students didn't write their Defense Against the Dark Arts assignments, and of course they said they didn't!

But here in Snape, if you don't bring it, you don't write it, and you will be ruthlessly deducted points!

Before the holidays, he specifically told Slytherin students to write Defense Against the Dark Arts homework...... So who else can stop Slytherin from winning the House Cup this year?

Hum!

Snape took his homework contentedly, flipped through it slightly, only to find that Scamander had turned it in, much to his surprise.

It can't be a temporary copy with a copy charm, right?

Snape glanced at it and saw that the handwriting did indeed appear to be Scamander...... It's a pity!

"Today, we are going to make a potion called the Water of Forgetfulness, which can make people forget emotions such as sadness."

Snapnet looked up at the class, his eyes cold and empty, as if they had no emotion.

"Be careful, if the ingredients are put in so-so, the potion will make the person who takes the medicine fall into excitement, and may even laugh uncontrollably...... So you guys need to follow my steps to configure. ”

"Ingredients and preparation methods are on the blackboard." Snape waved his wand and said, "In teams of two, you have an hour and a half...... Let's go. ”

Rove and Shirley team up and start working on the material.

Shirley was obviously weak in potion making, but Rove had a lot of materials, and she practiced with them during the summer vacation.

When a potion has been practiced a dozen times, it will never be learned again, and it is no problem to make up for it wherever it can be done.

However, this is a bit difficult for ordinary students, and it takes a lot of materials to make potions, and the price is expensive...... For them, the only opportunity to practice is in the classroom.

So Potions is a gold hole!

As for Rove...... After washing Snape's hair last semester, he acquired the opponent's potions talent for a year, and is now a history-level talent.

This level of potion can be brewed almost by just looking at it.

Of course, he himself has also boiled up the water of forgetting sorrow a few times, and he is also familiar with the road, and he can succeed with his eyes closed.

Rove and Shirley worked together methodically and every step was error-free...... It's stable!

Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching the students handle pitcher plants, and almost all the young wizards were criticized.

He wandered around, staring at Rove and Shirley, but he couldn't find fault for a long time, so he turned to stare at Neville and Hannah.

These two were Snape's duo, the students who brought him the most fun besides Potter and Weasley's scrappy duo.

As long as the two of them are together, they can always come up with stupid and clumsy operations.

Sure enough, the cauldron was spraying purple sparks, and Neville was sweating profusely, and Hannah was holding her wand and poking the flames under the cauldron to make the flames bigger.

It's stupid...... Snape was reluctant to break up the pair.

Rove sat on a stool, skillfully stirring the emerald green liquid, then adding the juice of the demon nettle and stirring it counterclockwise three times.

Add a horse-shaped monster's mane...... Boiling for two minutes is done.

Shirley was holding the pounding pestle, grinding the demon nettle seriously, her ponytail swaying slightly.

Rove looked at the busy girl, he suddenly had an idea, and after quickly writing a few steps in the potions book, he excitedly said, "Shirley, lend you a hair." ”

"Huh?" The girl looked up in surprise.

"I suddenly had a bold idea." Rove held up the textbook and circled the steps he had written with a quill and explained:

"Use the wizard's hair instead of the horse-shaped monster's mane."

"But......" Shirley frowned.

"I know, you would say that the potency problem can be replaced with the scales of the horsehead fishtail kraken, which should be effective...... Let's give it a try? ”

Shirley looked confused, she didn't understand at all, but ...... Without much hesitation, the girl plucked a slender red hair from her head and handed it to the boy.

Rove put the red hair into the cauldron and let Shirley continue stirring the potion, and he walked to the storage cabinet to find the scales of the horsehead fishtail monster.

Moments later, the boy threw the scales into the cauldron, and the potion instantly erupted in a puff of rose-red steam...... The colors are gorgeous.

This scene has attracted a lot of people's attention.

Snape strode over, his eyes flickering with surprise as he looked up, his eyes empty.

"Scamander, what is this?"

"Forget the sorrow, sir." Rove said calmly.

"What color should the water be?!"

"Silvery white steam."

"And what are you boiling?!"

"Professor, I've just made a slight change to include a piece of Miss Swinton's hair...... The results may not be the same as your requirements. Rove explained:

"This bottle of Forgetfulness Water is probably only effective for Miss Swinton, but the effect will be longer than ordinary potions, and the specific time will not be known until after taking it."

"Who taught you to do that?" Snape wrinkled his sallow and emaciated face and stared at Rove: "Changing the steps I gave without permission?!" ”

Shirley wanted to stand up, saying that she had changed it, but Rove gave the girl a look of innocence, and smiled:

"In a flash of inspiration, Professor, if you don't like it, just deduct points."

Snape's eyes were sharp, staring straight at Rove, as if doubting and judging, and after a long time, he stared back at the potion of potion.

Many of the students looked at Scamander, he didn't follow Professor Snape's steps to make potions, it wasn't a wise choice!

Hufflepuff has to deduct at least 20 points!

Snape looked at the cauldron, and for no reason remembered that summer many years ago:

In Professor Slughorn's Potions class, he and Lily sit together to prepare the Water of Forgetfulness.

Young Snape had the whimsical idea to pick up a red hair from the bright girl's robe and place it in the cauldron......

Lily's crisp 'Severus' suddenly echoed in his ears at this moment.

Some memories that had long been locked in his heart and did not dare to recall them again suddenly came to mind, and then Snape's eyes were gloomy and lonely.

His eyes were no longer as stagnant as the ancient well, and he became a little angry, and muttered to himself: "The effect of the medicine can be extended for about four hours......

Just when the little wizards thought that Snape was going to deduct points, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice after a long silence:

"Hufflepuff and Ravenclawa...... Twenty. ”

Everyone was shocked!

Rove raised his eyebrows in some surprise, then he scooped up the water of forgetfulness with a cup, handed it to Shirley, and said with a bright smile:

"Taste it?"

The ponytail girl sighed softly, then reached out to take the potion, and drank it all in front of everyone, she suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes and said:

"It's delicious!"
