Chapter Ninety-Six: Conflict in the Potions Classroom (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Arthur turned around and saw Hermione walking towards him, secretly saying that something was wrong, and wondered if this was seeking compensation from himself?
When Hermione learned last night that Arthur was the culprit who had balded her owl, she left the bird feed with a look of anger.
Arthur thought that Hermione didn't need him to pay compensation, and was secretly happy. But now looking at Hermione's expressionless face... What should come is still coming...
"Potions class is coming soon, is there anything wrong?"
"You can't feed cooked food to owls, they're carnivores, and you should feed them raw meat. Especially if it is human food, if you feed too much, the salt in it will cause problems for the owl's body. ”
Hermione looked at Arthur's bright dark eyes and began to criticize Arthur for his bad behavior like a teacher.
In her opinion, Arthur's owl bullied Aisha because Arthur often fed his owl cooked food with a lot of salt, which caused the owl to have mental problems.
"I know this, I hang up the sauce on the steak every time. And I don't feed it cooked meat very often. Thank you for your kindness. ”
Seeing that Hermione was not here to ask for compensation, Arthur breathed a long sigh of relief and responded calmly.
At this time, Pansy, who was at the door of the station cafeteria, shouted Arthur's name, reminding him that there was still half an hour before class.
Seeing this, Arthur had no choice but to say goodbye to Hermione and walked towards Pansy.
Because Professor Snape was required to teach Potions for the entire grade, and because of his strict personality, no one wanted to be his assistant, so the Slytherin students had to take turns helping Professor Snape arrange the items needed for class in advance.
The Slytherin students on duty today are Arthur, Pansy, and Draco, and they need to check that the students are not carrying dangerous items and that they have all the potions materials needed for the class before Professor Snape enters the Potions class.
It's a bit like a student council member inspecting the dormitories, but the Slytherin students don't have a good impression of the other three college students, and their job doesn't go well.
Arthur was an exception, most of his students were his book lovers, and whenever he walked into the Potions classroom, the most hateful Gryffindor students would be very cooperative with his work.
Especially for those seniors who were nearing graduation, Pansy and Draco were completely unable to carry out their work, and only Arthur could get them to cooperate with their inspection work.
"Yikes! Just gone? I have more to say..."
Looking at Arthur's departing back, Hermione stamped her foot in frustration. She stayed up late last night to finish watching "Where Are the Amazing Creatures", and there were a lot of doubts in her mind that Arthur wanted to answer.
But now that Arthur was called away by the annoying Pansy, Hermione was too embarrassed to ask these questions in front of Pansy.
After thinking about it, Hermione decided to find another opportunity to ask Arthur. The most annoying potions class is about to come, and she needs to go back to her dorm room to bring the potions materials she needs for the class.
"Idiot Neville... What about your autumn pollen and kudzu? Did you feed potions as food to your ugly toad? Ha ha! ”
In the Potions classroom, Draco sneered maliciously when he checked down his seat to Gryffindor's side and noticed that Neville was missing two potions materials on his desk.
"Without the autumn water pollen and kudzu, today's purifying evil water potion will not be able to be boiled, you just wait to be scolded by Professor Snape!"
"Gryffindor forgot the potion material deduction ten!"
As Draco's laughter echoed through the Potions classroom, the other Slytherin students followed suit, shouting loudly.
"I... I... I remember I brought..."
Frightened by Draco's actions, Neville panicked and began to rummage through his desk.
Desperate to find the autumn water pollen and kudzu as soon as possible, he accidentally touched the crucible on the table to the ground.
Syllable!
The pottery crucible shattered into several petals in an instant when it touched the hard ground.
"Ahh What to do? ”
Neville wept loudly when he saw his cauldron shattered. This cauldron was personally selected for him by his grandmother, saying that the material is of high quality and the texture is uniform, which can increase the chance of success in brewing potions.
Since the beginning of the school year, Neville has only used it a few times, and it has broken like this, which makes Neville difficult to accept.
"Neville, who has no hands and feet, can't even the stupidest pig break a crucible."
Draco's pain would always make Draco happy, and in order to make himself even happier, he continued to taunt without mercy.
"Malfoy, you're enough! If it weren't for you, Neville couldn't have broken the cauldron! ”
Ron, who was sitting in the front row of Neville, heard Neville cry and angrily turned around and yelled at Draco.
"What? Does the poor boy from Wesley want to buy Neville a new crucible? This cauldron is made by a goblin, and it is worth one gold and eleven silver cedars. You, who have been buying second-hand items, do you really have so much money? Ha ha! ”
Draco looked Ron up and down, noticing that there were several cuts in the crucible on his desk, and realized that Ron's crucible was an old cauldron, and retorted mercilessly.
"You!"
When Ron heard Draco talk about second-hand items, the inferiority complex in his heart instantly surged into his heart, and the anger born from his inferiority complex made his angry Tong Kong scatter and his arms tremble.
"Malfoy, you want to fight, don't you? Do your thing. Otherwise, don't let me see you alone outside the castle! ”
Harry, who was thinking about how to avoid Professor Snape from making things difficult for him in Potions class, was interrupted by the argument between Ron and Draco and Neville's cries, and he stood up and shook his fist at Draco, threatening.
Having gained the upper hand in the previous fights, Harry now has an inexplicable amount of confidence in the face of Draco.
"Harry, I didn't bully Neville, he broke the cauldron himself. You love to help your friends, and you can give Neville your crucible. Don't pretend to be a good person here. ”
Draco looked at Harry's fist, and the image of himself being beaten into a panda eye by Harry came to mind, and a sense of humiliation haunted him for a moment. He secretly clenched his fists, vowing that sooner or later, he would be ashamed.
"Humph! That's my business! Get out of here now! Harry said angrily.
The surrounding Gryffindor students also stood up, glaring at Draco.
"What's wrong?"
At that moment, Arthur, who had noticed that Draco and Harry were clashing again, approached and asked.
Yesterday and today's students on duty, if they don't settle this conflict before Professor Snape walks into Potions class and get Neville to stop crying, the three Arthurs will definitely be reprimanded by Professor Snape.
If it was a simple reprimand, Arthur didn't care, but Professor Snape liked to have people write reviews, or a thousand-word review.
This is a waste of time for a writer who writes books every day. Arthur didn't want his precious time to be wasted by Draco and Harry's bickering and crying Neville.
'Draco is such a troublemaker... How could such a heavy cauldron accidentally touch the ground, it was obvious that Draco was a good thing again...'
After listening to Draco, Harry, and Ron's different explanations, Arthur rubbed his temples and said secretly.
In two minutes, Professor Snape would walk majestically into the Potions classroom, leaving Arthur with little time left.
