68. Mom never worries about me anymore...
"What? Harry, you know it's Professor McGonagall? Then why didn't you tell me? ”
After the lesson, Ron complained to Harry.
He had never felt so embarrassed, and he was so embarrassed in front of the four academies... He felt that he probably wouldn't be able to get a wife.
"I'd like to say it's coming, but it's too late."
Harry reluctantly said as he packed his bag, "You're moving too fast. ”
"That's right, Harry. What's our next lesson? ”
Fortunately, Ron's personality belongs to the category of nerves, and unpleasant emotions come and go quickly, and he immediately put this matter behind him.
Instead of dwelling on embarrassing things, it is better to eat a few more pieces of meat at noon, now is the time to grow your body.
Harry looked at the schedule, "Potions class, and Slytherin." ”
"Oh no!" Ron let out another grief.
Potions class was not a good subject for Gryffindor as a whole, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a torture and torment.
There is no one in the entire Gryffindor except Hermione who has not been sprayed by Snape, especially Moxie and Neville, who are often in a group, although most of the time it is Moxi who messes up, but it is always Neville who is injured and scolded.
It's as if Gryffindor was inherently ill-suited to potions.
It is true that the vast majority of Gryffindors are restless, restless, and impulsive by nature, and the most important thing about potions is to stabilize and not be in a hurry, and basically few Gryffindors can calm down and boil potions.
As a result, Gryffindor's potions level is almost the lowest among the four major houses.
Why almost?
Because Hermione alone raised the overall level to the point where she was on par with Hufflepuff.
Of course, this also has something to do with the fact that Snape is a Potions teacher.
Although he sprays correctly many times, his speech is too ugly and too yin and yang, and it is a bad mouth.
This caused many people in Gryffindor to be dissatisfied with him, and secretly nicknamed him the 'greasy old bat' behind his back.
This is to mock his perennial-looking greasy hair.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a good thing this time."
Harry said mysteriously to Ron, "Definitely going to improve your potion score, I promise." ”
Ron was instantly interested, but no matter how much he asked, Harry said no more.
It's still the basement, it's still the cold environment, it's still the Snape like the Great Devil.
After being glanced at by Snape, Ron shuddered unconsciously, and instantly extinguished all his thoughts, he now just wanted to spend the next four hours early.
"Hey, Harry. What are they? ”
Ron watched as Harry pulled out item after item from his bag and placed it on the table, a set of tools he had never seen before.
"New potions apparatus."
Harry replied casually, and began to fiddle with himself.
"Professor Snape asked us to buy new equipment? How did I not know? ”
Ron was stunned for a moment, and said in a sneering voice.
It is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and Ron has known that his family is not financially well-off since he was a child, and he also deeply knows the consequences of poor economic conditions.
So Ron rarely took the initiative to ask his family for money, never took the initiative to burden the family, and he didn't have toys or anything from childhood to adulthood, and his childhood was almost spent with goblins in the vegetable field and ghouls in the attic.
Clothes, pants, shoes, and even textbooks and wands are second-hand, all things that have been eliminated by the brothers in the family.
Although he occasionally complains, he never makes trouble or fights, even if his brother or sister gets something new.
Most of the time, I will only look at the novelty in the hands of others with envious eyes.
It's just that sometimes, the heart still craves it.
This made Ron feel inferior when facing a child from a wealthy family like Malfoy.
When he was on the train, it wasn't Harry and Dudley who stood up for him, and even if Ron was sarcastic, he would put up with it, he didn't want to cause trouble for his family.
If Snape had asked for a new potions device, it would have meant an extra expense for their family.
The style of the utensils on the table alone is not cheap at first glance.
"These are expensive, aren't they?"
Ron whispered, "Professor Snape didn't even hear Percy mention it when he suddenly asked him to buy these things." ”
There are so many people in the family, everyone has to have a set... It was hard for him to imagine what kind of predicament he would face.
Harry was stunned and quickly explained, "No, Professor Snape didn't ask him to buy it, it was prepared for us by Brother D." ”
With that, Harry pushed the assembled lab equipment on the table to Ron, "This one is yours. ”
Dudley had prepared a lot of these kits before he came to Hogwarts, and the reason he had asked Harry to bring them out so late was because he had only gotten permission from Snape to use them in Potions class the other day.
The price is that all other little wizards can use it, but he can't.
Dudley divided the equipment between Harry, Hermione, Ron, Malfoy, and Neville, for a total of five.
Yes, Neville, Dudley has never forgotten this rather gifted little fat man.
Snape's demands on Dudley have reached what can be described as demanding.
However, it also reflects his importance to Dudley from the side.
It is true that the heirs are teaching with their hearts.
Fortunately, Dudley is also very competitive, he is really talented in potions, although Nespur will find something wrong every time, and he is actually very satisfied.
Even the best students at Hogwarts couldn't do better.
Simply Lily and his perfect heir.
"Mr. Dursley?"
Although the other party was Slytherin, Ron was still very convinced of Harry's cousin.
Especially after visiting Hogwarts at night, I admired it more than I could, otherwise I wouldn't have carried a few pieces of salted dried fish with me, and I was the only Slytherin who didn't have so much bad feelings, but I should still be stunned when facing Dudley
Ron unconsciously looked at Dudley, only to see that the other party was not using the equipment.
Did he give me his own?
Ron was instantly moved.
"Ron, there's something you need help with in a moment."
"What's the matter?"
"So... Such... And then like this..."
Harry whispered.
"No problem, wrap it up with me."
Ron patted his chest hard.
"I'll teach you how to use these things."
Harry began to mentor Ron.
It wasn't particularly difficult to manipulate, and Ron quickly understood the purpose of these tools, and instantly sighed at how convenient they were.
At this time, Snape was the main part of the lecture.
Boil a pot of burn healing ointment.
It is a common potion learned in the first grade.
It is a little more difficult than the ointment for scabies.
After successfully boiling a pot of potions with the new tool, Ron's eyes changed instantly, and both eyes lit up.
This tool... It's so easy to use.
Mom doesn't have to worry anymore that I won't be able to boil potions.
