Chapter Twenty-Five: Snape Did It On Purpose!
Eventually, it was Connor who took over and poured the prepared mistletoe berry powder into the crucible.
After stirring five times counterclockwise, he waved his wand to finish, and it is worth mentioning that in the final process, the students in the other groups made a lot of mistakes.
Either they didn't grind it clean, or there were other problems with their hands and feet that caused the potion to fail, and there were even accidents when waving their wands and blowing up the potion that had been completed with great difficulty.
Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were also deducted a lot of points in the process, and Connor even suspected that Snape was trying to find a reason to deduct points together in the first place.
Although there is no evidence for this speculation, it is true that Snape deducts points regardless of which side made the mistake, as long as the final product goes wrong, it must be deducted by both parties.
And in this case, a contradiction arises.
"It's all because of you! Why didn't you grind the berries clean?! ”
"No, it's definitely your problem!"
Accusations abounded, and if it weren't for Professor Snape's own deterrent power, Connor even felt like a messy war would have been sparked here.
But Professor Snape had no intention of stopping it, as if he didn't do anything about it.
Maybe he's just waiting for the conflict in the classroom to escalate.
Looking at his face, which was indistinguishable from that of a big bat, Connor's heart couldn't help but feel full of malicious thoughts.
That would allow Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff to be deducted more points.
When Connor presented his potion to him, Snape's reaction made him very sure of the speculation.
"So-so."
Staring at the orange-yellow liquid in the crystal bottle, Snape spoke.
"Ordinary works can be completed as long as they are strictly followed by the steps."
Then, there was no then, and this was the end of the Potions class.
Even though Connor was one of the few students in the class to finish the potion, Professor Snape didn't think otherwise.
"It's really ......"
For a moment, Connor didn't know how to describe the situation.
This kind of teacher has not been complained about, so the background must be very hard.
"How is this so, even if you succeed in a class, you won't get any extra points?"
"Also, it wasn't my responsibility at all."
As soon as Snape left the Potions classroom, a series of complaints rang in his ears.
At the same time, some kind of riot that had been suppressed by Snape's presence seemed to be about to explode.
Looking at the less peaceful little wizards, Connor spoke:
"I know you'd love to find someone to fight, but please think about it, Snape could turn back at any time and be caught in the brawl by him, and then the scores of our two houses will only get lower and lower."
His warning was not meant to be threatening, but the effect was quite conspicuous.
Even if the little wizards were angry, they didn't dare to really have any conflicts in the Potions classroom.
And in that somewhat-for-tat situation, the little wizards of Ravenclaw just had black faces.
In the end, Michael Turner stepped forward, and he was also one of the few students to pass the exam.
Standing beside him were Terry Bout and Anthony Goldstein, who also had angry faces, and Connor remembered that they seemed to have failed in the potion.
The three of them were so aggressive, and for a while, the Ravenclaw students rallied around them.
"So, you're not going to admit your mistakes? Already clumsy, and still planning to drag us down? ”
Michael's gaze swept over the Hufflepuff students present, and Susan was a little stunned by the cannibalistic gaze.
She wanted to stand up and apologize immediately, but was grabbed by Hannah directly.
At this moment, the Hufflepuff wizards all turned their eyes to Connor, and he clearly did not disappoint them.
"Whether it's a mistake or a drag, I think it's up to Professor Snape to judge, and if you're not happy with the score or something, we can confront Professor Snape again."
After a slow conversation, Michael was dumbfounded, and whatever he wanted to say, the moment was blocked.
Looking for Snape to confront him?
Who dares to do this!
Eventually, the Ravenclaw students left the Potions classroom in silence.
For a moment, only Isobel was left with the eaglet - she was still packing up her textbooks, moving slowly, as if she had left them on purpose.
Seeing that she hadn't left yet, Connor couldn't help but speak:
"I suggest you're better off catching up now, and I'll take care of the rest."
"Why should I go out of my way to cater to other people?"
It was just a little different from what Connor had thought, and what he heard was not the timid, shy voice he had become accustomed to.
It was an inexplicable mockery.
And when Connor looked back at the girl named Isobel, her eyes were strange.
"It doesn't matter if it's you, but I think you have to think about your future situation."
Connor's words may sound strange, but Isobel himself apparently understood.
However, she refused.
"There's no need for that, they're going to come and cater to me."
After packing up her books, she turned and left.
But she didn't take two steps before she stopped again.
Although her face was a little impatient, as if she was talking to someone, she still turned her head:
"Thank you for your advice, though."
It's just an 11-year-old girl, but her silver-haired appearance is extremely chic.
With that, the last Ravenclaw student left the classroom, leaving only Hufflepuff students in the Potions classroom.
Nearly thirty people stood there, including Hannah and Susan, and the eyes of the little wizards were on Connor.
And this directly put Connor in order.
“…… What are you watching me do? We don't have classes after that, so we can either go back to the lounge or go for a walk around the rest of the school, and if we can't do it, we can still find the seniors of the academy to make up for the class, or preview the transformation class in the afternoon in advance. ”
Despite Connor's own words, the other students remained silent.
And their fiery gaze made Connor feel inexplicably afraid, and in the end, it was Hannah who stepped forward.
"What's next for you?"
The little witch asked.
"Me? I don't do anything, I'll go to the school hospital and see Ernie and them later. ”
With that, Connor looked at them.
He vaguely sensed the thoughts of these little wizards, but he shook his head anyway.
A herd mentality and that kind of blind following are not advisable.
"I don't recommend that you come with me, the patient doesn't need to be bothered too much, and if you want to visit, don't rush over."
At first, Connor only thought about saying that, but he shook his head again at the memory of Justin's performance.
"If there are too many people, it may be bothersome for them."
With that, Connor tucked the ingredient list from Snape into his book.
He just walked out of the classroom.
Glancing back at the little wizards, he was relieved to find that the little wizards didn't mean to follow either.
It's just that as Connor made his way up the stairs to the first floor, he noticed a problem.
"Shhh...... Where is the school hospital going? ”
