"Hufflepuff deducts five points."

An emaciated Professor Snape's eyes swept over Owen's face.

With a hint of resentment in his indifference, he said, "Perhaps you should learn what modesty is, Mr. Sanchez." ”

Facing the new Dark Devil in front of him, who can reach 99% of Voldemort's duplicate check rate, is rising.

Snape, of course, would not have done anything nice to him.

Hostile as always.

If it weren't for his status as a student and teacher, Snape would have beaten him up every once in a while.

"I learned!" Owen hung the medal back on his chest, "I just didn't learn it." ”

"Maybe it's because you're asking the wrong teacher."

"How so? I've been asking Harry these days for advice on how to be a qualified celebrity. ”

"Hehe, a raccoon dog."

Professor Snape's temples were bulging, and his forehead was even more bruised, and he almost couldn't help but give the bear child in front of him a 'close eyes and listen' and a 'deadtongue throat' charm.

"Whew~"

Sink your heart, sink your heart!!

This is the first class of the semester.

Last semester, Snape was reluctant to get into another quarrel with Owen when he found out that Dumbledore was protecting the kid the whole time.

Now, of course, I will not break my long-standing insistence because of one sentence.

After taking a deep breath.

Snape, whose face was calm again, decided to implement the policy of a certain crazy professor towards Owen.

That is to ignore him for the whole lesson.

Owen, who had broken the fun in a word, finally didn't get any benefits.

Dear Professor Snape ignored him again, though Owen knew that Professor Snape still loved him in his heart, he knew, knew from the beginning

So when he was boiling the potion, he chose not to peel the figs and threw them into the cauldron.

The boiler blew up, the potion spilled, and Justin was out of luck.

Snape deducted his own points.

He still loves me.

After Potions class.

Owen and Hannah went their separate ways.

He was the only one who took the next elective course.

Muggle studies and divination chosen for Hannah's elective.

Justin took Fantastic Beasts and Divination.

Only Owen, who was supposed to go to an alchemy class in the afternoon.

The ancient alchemy classroom is located on the fifth floor of the castle, a remote corner that is not often haunted by young wizards.

As the most difficult subject at Hogwarts, the prerequisite for learning alchemy is that you have to study multiple subjects. L got an O on the exam.

After graduating from the fifth grade, the sixth-year wizard can apply to the alchemy professor.

It's usually during the summer vacation, and the professor will write back two weeks before the start of the semester to let you know if you've been accepted.

All in all, this course is very difficult to get into.

However, for most young wizards, alchemy is not a necessary course, and it is better to choose a course that is easy to mix credits than to spend energy on a difficult subject.

If you are really interested in alchemy, it is recommended to go to Gringotts to find a job as a spell solver after graduation, and then go to Egypt, where you will get training and years of training until you master the most basic principles and laws of alchemy.

As for the next path to advancement.

Young people, do you know what self-reliance and hard work are?

Figure it out for yourself!

————

The ancient alchemy classroom was filled with all kinds of beakers, cauldrons, and magical materials.

The classroom takes on an irregular semicircle, with the podium in the center.

The students are arranged in a stepped arc, each with a separate table.

Owen pushed the door open.

A few small wizards looked at him in unison.

All right~

Although he had already predetermined in his heart that there would not be many young wizards who chose this course, but

One, two, three, five.

Plus he's exactly six people.

There are so many of them~

Hehe~

I'm going to be a professor at Hogwarts in the future!

It's too easy.

There is only one class a week, and there are only six people. Oh, my God! Is it okay to not change the principal?

"Oops! Isn't this Percy! ”

As the only seventh-year student he knew of the five, Owen sat in the seat next to Percy with great familiarity.

The eyes stared at him affectionately, and there was a sense of déjà vu of a fellow countryman seeing a fellow countryman.

"Hello." Percy was a little sluggish, neatly dressed, and his bespectacled face was not happy or sad.

He's blaming Owen for taking away the president of the boys' student council that rightfully belongs to him.

But on the other hand, Percy had to admit that the Patronus Charm had shocked him that night.

This complex emotion made him blame neither Owen nor the professor, and he couldn't find an outlet, so he could only sulk by himself in the end.

"Good, good, good." Owen nodded wryly.

The temperament of the leader is rigid.

And just as he was about to continue hooking up with Percy, the small door on the side of the podium was pushed open.

Then a beautiful, proud, cold and noble witch walked in.

A cup of fragrant coffee floated behind her, a few thick magic books floated and turned pages, and she herself sat leisurely at the lectern, a dark red wooden armchair.

"Page 135." She said.

The sultry aroma floats in the air.

Although the little wizards were confused, they all obediently opened the "Guide to Ancient Alchemy" - by Nicolame.

"Mr. Sanchez," Wenda said suddenly.

She took a sip of coffee and took a sip slowly, holding the book in her other hand, her eyes never taking off the book "Guide to Ancient Alchemy".

"You explain what is called the principle of equal exchange of matter."

"Uh-" The rush to ask Owen reminded him of a certain Professor Snape who never washed his hair and did not want to be named.

But since he is his grandfather's housekeeper, he must be his own person.

It should be to see how young he is to consolidate his prestige!

Hey~

"Okay professor." Owen slowly got up and explained the most basic theorem of alchemy, the principle of equal exchange of matter, in a concise manner.

Anyway, he was also taught by Nick for a month, and he still knows this basic thing.

"Is the soul a matter or not, Mr. Sanchez." Wenda continued to ask intently.

"From an alchemical perspective—"

"Yes, the soul belongs to matter."

"Does the soul, then, obey the principle of equal exchange of matter?" "Elaborate on the development of this research," she added. ”

"From ancient times to the present day—countless alchemy—the brutal study of the Dark Ages—"

"Souls abide by the principle of equal exchange, Professor." It took Owen more than ten minutes to answer this question, mainly because in the Dark Ages, the turbulent years before the Federation was established, there were too many studies of souls by various dark wizards, although those studies were very inhumane for their descendants.

But they can't turn a deaf ear to the results.

Just talking about the famous Dark Lords can make Owen's mouth dry.

"Hmm." There was a soft snort from her nose.

It seems that Owen had expected that the answer would be fluent.

Then, she put down the coffee in her hand, got up slowly, and after looking around at the group of little wizards, her rosy lips opened slightly: "Since this third-year little wizard has such a strong understanding of alchemy, then you should all have a pretty good foundation!" ”

Her gaze swept over Percy's eyes.

"In that case, let's just take a look at the textbook."

"I'll leave three assignments." She held her head high and said, "First, clean this classroom to be clean and clean, and then throw away all the garbage piled up on the shelves over there." ”

She pointed to the various alchemical semi-finished products on the shelves at the back of the classroom.

Those were the 'fruits' of the young wizards in the past, and of course they were not very successful.

But it's very memorable!

After all, what lofty results can you make by studying a theory in two years?

"But—Professor, those are the seniors of the past." Percy got up to explain to the new professor what the 'ornaments' meant.

"Does it work?" Wenda interrupted with a raised hand.

"This" Percy's face was a little ugly, and he said that those were just decorations.

"So- what's the difference between them and garbage?" Wenda's face couldn't see joy and sorrow, but she said again: "Second homework." ”

She waved the textbook in her hand.

"Go to the library and find any ancient alchemist in the book, and write a core discourse report based on their life results in no more than three hundred ancient runes."

？？？

As soon as she spoke, let alone anyone else.

Even Owen is blinded?

Not to mention whether they can understand the achievements of those ancient wizards

You asked Hogwarts High School people to write a core essay report with at least a master's thesis?

Damn, can that sum it up?

It must also be written in ancient runi script?

Believe it or not, if I brought in Professor Bathsida Babbling, who teaches ancient runes, she may not be able to write a core academic report in 300 runes.

This is quite like a brief description of Chinese for a foreigner who has just learned 300 Chinese characters to write a master's thesis.

It's not a question of whether you can do it or not.

If they had the ability, they wouldn't be sitting here.

Instead, he appeared at Dumbledore's job fair!

"The third job."

？？？

Still coming?

"Given the difficulty of the previous one, let's make the third assignment easier!"

"Whew~" In the classroom, the little wizards, including Owen, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Professor Sprout of Herbology introduced a new batch of Brussels sprouts from the Far East this year.

However, although the new varieties of cabbage are much more active and aggressive than before, there is a deadly toxin in their bodies. This can cause unpredictable harm to your classmates. ”

"It takes too long to iterate and screen out attenuated or non-toxic individuals for long-term culture."

"So—before Christmas, I'm going to see you use the principle of equal exchange of alchemical substances to successfully remove toxins and stabilize hereditary cabbage individuals."

"This long-term assignment will count towards your test score and eventually add to your overall score."

"If you don't want this course to be P next year, then let's work hard from now on!"

Alchemy is not simply the invention of something or a machine.

It's a way of knowing the world, and I think of it as the science of the wizarding world.
