Chapter 370: A Unique Potions Talent
The first session of the morning was Potions class, with Hufflepuff and Gryffindor together.
From the very beginning of class, Gryffindor students began to be targeted wildly.
Katie of the Quidditch team was deducted five points as soon as she entered the classroom for wearing a hat. And McCock McLaggan, who also had a three-point deduction because he had a crease in his book.
The reason is clear to everyone.
In the third year of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Neville gave him a rather eye-catching granny outfit when he faced Boggart, who had turned into Snape.
Originally, it could be big or small, and even if Snape was angry, he would only trouble Neville.
But the problem is, I don't know which immoral thing went to the classroom with a camera...... Then Snape's women's photos spread around Hogwarts.
Although the matter was quickly stopped, all photos were forcibly confiscated...... But that's just on the surface.
There are still a lot of them behind the scenes.
In order to find out the culprit, Snape tried all kinds of methods, coercion and inducement, and followed up the investigation...... But to no avail.
This time, the students were unprecedentedly united, and when asked no one they knew, they said they didn't know.
Including Professor Lupin himself, he is also a ...... I don't know, I didn't see anything, Snape's teeth itched with anger.
So, Gryffindor, who was the first to send out the photos, was out of luck.
Let's put it this way, even though Kyle was deducted a hundred points, Hufflepuff's house score was still a big cut ahead of Gryffindor.
And it was just a day's worth for Snape.
At the start of the year, Gryffindor began to dive all the way towards the record of the lowest score in history.
Not even Professor McGonagall could say anything, for she had seen the picture, and in all fairness, she didn't blame Snape for being so angry.
"Vitality Elixir!"
It wasn't until Gryffindor had been deducted twenty minutes that Snape returned to the podium and said in a long voice, "Grass, ginger root, horn of a one-horned bison...... Mr. McLagan. ”
He suddenly asked, "What kind of treatment do you need to do with the bison horn when boiling the vitality potion?" ”
"Grill, then grind into powder, Professor." McCork McLagan stood up, glanced at the blackboard, and said confidently.
"Haha, Snape miscalculated this time."
Kyle heard someone behind him whisper, "Luckily, it's all on the blackboard, you can see it at a glance." ”
"Oh?"
Snape on the stage raised an eyebrow, took a step to block the blackboard, and continued to ask, "How long does it take to burn?" ”
"Twenty minutes." McLagan said without thinking, "Then you have to scrape off the surface layer before you can start grinding." ”
"Do you think you're smart...... "Snape said with a sly look, "and remember so much just one glance." ”
"I didn't look at the blackboard, Professor!" McLagan said with a grimace, "I read the book in advance, so I found out." ”
"If you've read the book in advance, you should know that the vitality potion needs the horns of the horned camel, not the ...... of the one-horned bison," Snape sneered, "Gryffindor deducts five points!" ”
The expression on McLagan's face froze, and he said disappreciably: "But, what you wrote on the blackboard is a one-horned bison, I can't be mistaken!" ”
"Oh, this...... It was I who wrote it wrong. Snape turned and erased the line.
"Didn't you say you didn't look at the blackboard?" He lazily said, "Deceive the professor, and Gryffindor will deduct five more points." ”
Next, they deal with the ingredients.
Dogwood and ginger root are easy to talk about, but the horns of the horned camel beast are very troublesome, they are so hard and tough, it takes a lot of effort to cut them, let alone grind them.
Grilling ahead of time was a step given by Snape, not in the book.
"Kyle." Ryan leaned over and whispered in the name of the borrowed thing, "Did you read today's Daily Prophet?" ”
"Nope." Kyle shook his head, "Did something happen?" ”
"Someone saw Sirius Black." Mikel lowered his voice.
"Where ......"
"Croft County, just south of Hogsmeade." Mikel seemed excited, "a Muggle seeing...... Of course, he didn't know what was going on, but he just called the hotline when Blake was an ordinary criminal.
By the time the Ministry of Magic arrived, he was gone. ”
"That's really not far, less than fifty miles from Hogsmeade." McLagan next to him also came over.
"Did you think he would come to Hogwarts?" Connor looked nervous.
"It's impossible."
McLagan affirmed, "Don't forget that there are Dementors at the school gates, and if he comes, he's going to be caught in the net." ”
"But I still feel that something is wrong." "There are so many places to go, why did he end up so close to Hogsmeade?" ”
"Maybe he didn't know there were Dementors here." McLagan let out a low sneer, "I want him to come quickly, if the Dementors find him, he won't be able to escape."
"When he's captured, the Dementors will leave the school, and honestly, the thought of those monsters guarding the door makes me feel uncomfortable, and even the wind blowing in me is cold."
The few didn't dare to say more, and before Snape could turn around, they separated.
"Kyle, do you think that if Blake is going to come to Hogwarts, can the Dementors at the door really stop him?" Connor asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say." Kyle shook his head, "They've already let Black run once, and they're still in their base camp...... Not to mention that there are only two Dementors now.
But you don't have to worry, it'll be fine, I promise. ”
Hearing Kyle's words, Connor finally felt a lot more relieved, and began to scrape the skin of ginger root with a knife.
Towards the end of class, Snape began to check everyone's potions.
Kyle and Connor's cauldrons are bright bright yellow, which is a normal color, and there are no problems.
Snape didn't even look at them, and walked over.
But the others are different, there are all kinds of colors.
Especially Mikel's ...... Kyle notices that his potion is an eerie purple color with brown smoke floating on it.
Even the well-informed Snape was stunned for a moment when he saw the potion of potion.
He could finally tell what was wrong with other people's potions...... For example, if you add more materials, or stir less or something like that, but this one is different.
He couldn't see anything.
Wormwood, ginger root, and horn of the horned camel...... Can you still make something like this?
What a long insight!
"Hufflepuff 10 points."
Snape stared at the potion in the cauldron and then at Mikel, "And confinement, go to the underground classroom at eight o'clock on Saturday morning until you learn the potion of vitality." ”
