Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 9: Small questions in the potions class
The next morning, Maca was the first to wake up.
He didn’t know how he woke up so early that he didn’t fall asleep until late at night. He was thinking, it probably has something to do with that little girl Luna! When he was staying at her home, he would face various ways of awakening every morning, but the dazed little girl seemed to be enjoying it. Unknowingly, he has developed this "bad habit" that wakes up at one point.
Starting today, classes will begin.
Most of Hufflepuff’s classes will be arranged with Ravenclaw. Correspondingly, Gryffindor’s classes will be taken with the Slytherins. This has the advantage that Snape will be relatively less irritable in places where Harry Potter is not available.
"Now we will roll the call..."
Snape still looked like he didn't get in, and he never smiled on his face. He sternly read the names on the roll, without even looking at the students. After he finished counting the names, he scanned the students with his indifferent and hollow black eyeballs. In his eyes, Maca saw a kind of wandering who lost his life and lost his dreams on the streets of Torpoint. The Hans had similar expressions in their eyes.
"No." Maca secretly denied, "Compared to the tramp, his eyes are more...more thorough, just like the eyes of a dead man, cold, hollow, and full of life."
Having lived in the dark world of Britain for so long as a child, Maca relies on the disguise of himself and the means of trying to figure out the psychology of others. But now, Maca found that he couldn't get any information from Snape, which gave him the idea of staying away from this person for the first time.
"Leaving the unknown danger is the most effective way to protect yourself." This famous saying has been circulating in the dark world.
"Mr. McLean, do you seem to have a different opinion of my remarks?" Just as Maca stared at Snape's eyes in a daze, the other party seemed to look at him as if they noticed something, and then wrinkled Opened his brow.
"Oh, no, I mean, I like the course of Potions very much, but the theory involved is very complicated. I really hope that Professor Snape, you can help me answer some of the problems I encountered in my preview Doubts."
In a hurry, Maca was held hostage by his thoughts just now, and he rarely admitted. But he does have a lot of questions he wants to get answers from authorities, so he can't be said to be nonsense.
Yesterday in Hufflepuff’s common room, Maca asked Mr. Darren a lot about the various professors. To say that Snape, although almost no student likes him, his achievements in the two subjects of potions and spells are undeniable.
Just looking at his title of "Master of Potions" recognized by the International Federation of Magicians and awarded by the British Ministry of Magic, is enough to give him his own place in the global magic world. In the book "Advanced Potion Making", there are many methods for preparing potions that he has improved, although no one knows this at present.
However, Snape showed no sympathy for Maca’s words, and he smiled coldly—if that was a laugh, then said in a contemptuous tone: "Oh? Really? Why not? Let’s talk about it, but if it’s just some boring questions, then Hufflepuff will probably deduct points. I repeat here, in my class, students are not welcome to ask questions!"
Maca couldn't help but swallow. Fortunately, the other Hufflepuff classmates didn't seem to care about the deduction, but were looking at him with worried eyes. It seemed that the safety of the classmates was more important than the college points.
Maca glanced around, breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but feel good about this college. It is only now that he feels for the first time that "it seems good to be assigned to Hufflepuff."
"Ahem," He cleared his throat and calmed himself down. Only then did he raise one of the most puzzled questions he encountered when reading the book "Magic Potion and Potion".
"Professor Snape, when I previewed the sleeping pills, I found that a quantitative constant in the formula was not specified in the actual mixing process. This puzzled me. I was puzzled. I'm not sure if I made a mistake." Maca frowned as he spoke. This was the most obvious sign of his involvement.
When discussing the knowledge he cares about, he usually forgets the environment and the object of the conversation. This is a bad habit of him.
Fortunately, Snape didn't show impatience about it. He stared at Maca for a while before speaking.
"I will talk about sleeping pills later, as long as you listen carefully, you won't ask this kind of question again." Snape said coldly, and never looked at Maca again. Turning around and tapping on the blackboard with a magic wand, lines of text and formulas were immediately displayed on it.
"Sit down, you can sit down." Ernil, who was sitting next to him, pulled Lamarca's sleeve, and then whispered, "I didn't expect it! I heard that Professor Snape is Hogwarts' best A stern professor, he said that the points to be deducted have never been kept!"
Maca was not grateful for this, he really cared about that question!
Two potions lessons were finished coldly in the underground classroom. After Professor Snape said the word dismissal, the students couldn't wait to leave here. In this classroom, apart from a large number of animal organ specimens and Snape, who was always gloomy, there was no one else. The whole classroom was full of unpleasant atmosphere.
"The quantitative constant is useless, it is a mistake left over from history." When Maca passed the door, he saw Snape standing outside the door. After leaving this sentence, he stepped forward. Step left.
Maca looked at Snape's back, feeling that his big cloak opened in the wind when he walked, like a big walking bat. The picture made him smile.
"It doesn't seem to be as difficult to communicate as you thought." Maca thought to himself.
Of course, it's actually not as simple as Maca thought. The reason why Snape waited at the door and left this answer was actually because this question of Maca happened to be one of the opportunities for Snape to indulge in potions. In other words, Snape had this question when he was a student.
Regarding the coincidence that this is not a coincidence, Maca can't even think about it right now.
Next to the potions class is the Defence Against the Dark Arts class of Professor Quirrell with some fat on the back of his head, but there is nothing to say about that class. Except for Professor Quirrell himself, who smelled of garlic all over and stuttered, the empty course content was also quite sad.
Maca really doesn’t understand, how can one tell the story of the Resurrection Zombie so stumbling and false and suspicious, I heard that Quirrell was an excellent student with good grades during his student days.
Aside from the potions class and the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which barely taught anything useful, Maca was most interested in the curse class led by Professor Flitwick, who has the blood of the goblin.
Although this professor is short because of his descent, he is a good professor worthy of everyone's respect.
In his class, there are no strict requirements. The students can even move around freely. Even if the students make jokes with him, he will not be dissatisfied.
However, when Professor Flitwick explained to Maca in detail the maddening problems he encountered in the book "Theory of Magic", Maca immediately became awe-inspiring to the professor. Respectfully.
This year’s duel champion was really not covered. His application of insights and skills gave Maca a different understanding of the basic theory of magic in this world. After several explanations, it seemed to give Maca opened a new door.
"Thank you, dear Professor Flitwick." Maca always respects those who impart his knowledge.
Professor Flitwick smiled and patted Maca’s arm—obviously it’s not easy for him to reach other people’s shoulders~IndoMTL.com~ He kindly said, “Don’t be so serious, the theory is boring, only cooperation Practical applications will have a deeper understanding. However, you are still the most profound student in the study of spells in this freshman year. Like Miss Granger in Gryffindor, you are quite excellent."
After , Maca learned some information about Hermione from Professor Flitwick. When he heard the scope of Hermione's learning, he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly-she had read too many books, which was not good for understanding and application.
From Maca’s point of view, only a thorough understanding of the basics can lay the most solid foundation for further study and research. Even a genius needs to come step by step, not to mention that he knows very well that he is not a genius, and Hermione probably won't be.
As for the remaining courses, what Maca hates the most is not the history of magic that most of the students are extremely bored, but the astronomical observations every Wednesday night-that is the custom of the astronomy class. Ask Maca to say that, except for the knowledge about magic in it, the observation, recording and calculation methods are far behind the Muggle door's research in this area.
The most important thing is that this course is actually not very useful in today's magical world. This makes pragmatists like Maca extremely painful for this course.
"Hey, I heard that you refuted his theory in Snape's class. Is this true?"
In the herbal medicine class, everyone was fertilizing some harmless, mild and healthy plants in the first greenhouse. Suddenly Ron approached him and asked enthusiastically about Maca.
Maca noticed that, not far away, Hermione with a small shovel seemed to have her attention here, and it seemed that she was very concerned about this issue.
