Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 651: N.E.W.Ts Potions Class
The first day after school started was still a sunny day, and the weather was so intoxicating. This is undoubtedly a good start for the freshmen.
Of course, the content of the first-year learning is relatively loose, and most of the courses are based on adapting subjects. Compared with them, Harry and the others, who had just entered the sixth grade, had to work much harder.
Yes, this year, the course is now.
. In the Ls exam, everyone's grades are not bad, so that this school year has a lot of room for further study selection. And because the professor of the potions class is still Slughorn, there are obviously many more students who continue to choose the potions class this year. You know, when Snape taught in the past, the course was!
"...Harry, listen to me, the knowledge of potions is very useful! In the future, whether you are looking for a job after graduation, or dealing with troubles in life, or even when you are in danger, it will be used Here! So I suggest..."
On the way to the potions classroom, Hermione was walking beside Harry and Ron, babbling as always.
"Hey! Hermione, I already understand." Harry said helplessly, "have I already chosen all of this? You see, I'm in class with you, so don't repeat it with me. The importance of it."
"I don't think you've already'understood'!" Hermione glanced at him and said angrily, "Remember? Last semester you used my review materials, and even the review schedule I helped you develop it. You don’t pay much attention to this course, don’t I know?"
"Oh, Hermione, we'll study hard—" Ron on the side also leaned forward. As a good buddy of Harry, of course he couldn't watch him being nagged by Hermione. "As long as Slughorn is in charge of the potions class, we can listen carefully, really! This is not like a defense class..."
"Listen carefully?" Hermione heard the words, turned her head and stared at him, "Just'listen carefully'? I told you,. Course, understand? During the holiday, I have already put the last two I have previewed the textbook three times in 2012, but even so, I dare not say that I understand them all... But you told me just'listen carefully'?"
When Harry heard this, he immediately understood why Hermione would stop the two of them from talking as soon as school started—co-authoring because of these words, she has been holding back most of the vacation?
"It's really hard for you. I didn't write all these words in the letter and send us during the holiday..."-Of course Harry didn't dare to say this sentence, just muttered in his heart.
So, Hermione kept talking about it all the way, until all three of them came to the hallway outside the potions class, and then she barely stopped. Seeing that she finally closed her mouth as if her conscience found it, Harry and Ron couldn't help but glance at each other, then both breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, there are probably more than 30 students gathered in the corridor, which is actually quite a lot in terms of the number of students in Harry's class. But surprisingly, Hufflepuff accounted for eight of the thirty-odd students. If you look at the proportions of previous years, this is a huge leap!
Yes, although Hufflepuff College has always been characterized by the largest number of students, most of the little badgers are not good at potions, spells, and other disciplines that tend to be more talented, such as herbalism and transfiguration. It is their strength to wait for subjects that need to be accumulated over time.
It seems that as a wizard who walked out of Hufflepuff, Maca's influence on the academy has slowly become apparent.
Of course, in Hufflepuff College these years, Ernie McMillan has been the most affected. Even if Maca is actually not as good as Ernie, but where Maca can't see, Ernie always regards him as his best friend.
For Ernie, in addition to bragging about his relationship with Maca, he also naturally gave birth to the desire to catch up. Although it shows that I know that most of it can't be caught up, but if he is bragging, if he is questioned that his "friend of Maca" is too bad, it would be embarrassing, isn't it?
Now, Ernie has also passed the grade requirements of the advanced course through his own efforts, and is standing here with the students who have also studied hard.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione," seeing the cubs coming here, he also greeted him on the initiative, "it was really boring in Snape's class in the morning! Isn't it? But if you want me to say, even if Snape really got a corpse into the classroom, I wouldn’t be scared at all—"
"Oh, uh...yes!" Harry echoed with an awkward smile, "As far as your skills are concerned, there is really nothing to be afraid of."
If you have to say it, Ernie will often act a little boastful and show off. But on the whole, he was still a nice guy, at least Harry and the others didn't hate being friends with him. Because only those who have worked hard know that behind Ernie's rhetoric, there is actually a lot of struggle hidden behind it.
"Yeah! You're right—that's nothing to be afraid of," Ernie said with a smile. "How can the old members of. be scared by those words of Snape? Ah, Hermione, how do you think the Potions class will be different for a while? It must be more difficult, right? I think..."
He wanted to continue to show his confidence, but unexpectedly, the class bell suddenly rang, interrupting his conversation. And then, the door of the classroom was opened.
After a holiday, Slughorn's figure is obviously much "fuller" than last semester. Before he showed his face, his chubby belly entered everyone's field of vision.
"Aha, are you all here?" The old bald head walked out into the hallway with a smile on his face, and then looked around, "Excellent, come in-- come in! It's still the same as last semester. , Just be casual in the classroom, class is on..."
This old man was as enthusiastic as last semester, and everyone he saw was a kind and gentle smiling face. Of course, there are always a few people he likes better. For example, Harry has a reputation, someone with a family background such as Sabini, or someone with outstanding grades and talents such as Hermione—these They are his most beloved treasures.
As soon as we entered the classroom, everyone quickly noticed the difference.
According to the previous classroom practice, Slughorn first demonstrated the preparation process of a certain potion, and at the same time explained the potion theory. But today, several crucibles of various sizes have been placed in the center of the classroom, and thick steam has accumulated on the ceiling, which looks like a whole cloud.
By the way, the smell in the classroom right now doesn't smell at all.
"Sit down first, sit down first! I think I have to congratulate you on the first class of the potions course!" Slughorn said with a smile, his beard trembling briskly "Yes, at the end of last semester, everyone worked very hard. I have to say, you did a very good job, because you see-your hard work finally yielded results! It's not easy, I know... Congratulations on getting to the sixth grade Up!"
Before the words came to an end, most of the students applauded. One's own efforts can be appreciated by others, which is of course a happy thing, especially since their efforts have been rewarded.
"Then," Slughorn continued when the applause calmed down, "I believe everyone has seen it—there are several cauldrons here, filled with different potions, two of which were just completed today. ! I think you must be so confused, after all, I never put a few potions in a class before..."
Following his words, several students nodded—these are little wizards who usually like to learn. Surprisingly, Hermione, who was always the leader among this small group of students, did not follow Slughorn today.
In fact, the attention of the students near the golden cauldron on the far left was somewhat distracted...They seemed to be attracted by the liquid medicine in the cauldron.
"...Oh, I think you guys don’t mind standing farther away so that you can listen to me well." Slughorn smiled and took two steps forward, turning the vent on the lid of the crucible. In the other direction, "I know, the smell is wonderful, isn't it?"
As the scent moved a little away from ~IndoMTL.com~, Harry, Hermione and others who stood nearby all took a step back, as if they had just regained their senses. It was only at this moment that they noticed that before they knew it, they almost moved their nose to the vent. The intoxicated expression caused other students to snicker.
"Okay, okay! As you can’t wait, I’ll say it more directly," the old man said, ". The course is very difficult, but I will talk about it in future courses. The content of the content, therefore has a very great value. If you can absorb all the knowledge you have learned into your mind, then they belong to you-by the time of graduation, I hope you can all The potion in the cauldron is independently prepared."
At this point, Slughorn paused for a while, then reached out and picked up the lid of the crucible on the far right. Everyone immediately saw that the liquid inside was constantly tumbling, clear and transparent, as if it was just a crucible of clear water in it.
"Then, the first one!" He raised his hand and motioned, "Who can tell me what kind of potion is in it? If you can, you can also briefly talk about its efficacy."
Before the words fell, an arm that no one knew in class was raised quickly. In a daze, Harry even seemed to hear the whistling noise caused by the excessive speed.
