Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 60: Potions class

Friday was a pivotal day for Albert.

The trajectory of the moving stairs and some of the passages in the castle will change today. To avoid getting lost on their way to the restaurant, they decided to go to the restaurant with the other seniors.

"What classes do we have in the morning?" Li Jordan put two sugar cubes in the milk cereal and asked George beside him.

"Two potions classes in the morning," said Albert, after eliminating the sausages from the dinner plate, "with the Slytherin students."

"I remember the Potions Professor as Snape," said George suddenly.

"Snape... oh, the one Albert wanted to photograph him last time?" Lee Jordan remembered something, "By the way, are you okay with that?"

"What?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan suspiciously.

"Didn't Snape mean to question you?" Fred reminded.

"Oh, you said that, there should be no problem." Albert deliberately flipped through the book last night. He can remember most of the content in the book. As long as it's not very tricky, don't worry about it. .

"I remember Snape as the head of Slytherin House."

"Yes!" George put his head close and whispered, "Everyone said that he only favored his own students, and would never give points to college students other than Slytherin."

"Be careful, he's staring at you!" Albert whispered.

These words startled George, he hurriedly retracted his head, looked around carefully, but did not find Snape's person, he knew that he had been deceived, and stared at Albert dissatisfied, " You bastard..."

"Why can you make such a serious joke?" Angelina wearily walked to their side and sat down, looking at the laughing people and shaking her head, "Today is really bad, I'm lost. , almost couldn't find the location of the restaurant."

Albert turned his head to Angelina and said, "I heard that you have become a Quidditch backup player, congratulations."

"Thank you." Angelina looked at Albert suspiciously. She also learned about Albert from Lee Jordan, and also knew that Charlie intended to bring Albert into the Quidditch team.

However, the other party doesn't seem to care about his position and is likely to be taken away by him.

"Don't forget to bring what you need for Potions class later, and we'd better not be late, and don't give Snape a chance to trouble us." After eating breakfast, Albert said He took out another copy of "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Fungi" from his backpack and started flipping through it.

The Potions classroom is located in a basement below the castle. They entered through another door in the foyer and went down the stairs to the bottom of the castle, which was more gloomy than the main castle building above.

They entered the classroom and found that the Slytherin students had already arrived.

The potions classroom is not large, but it can accommodate at least twenty students. The walls around the classroom are lined with various glass jars soaked in taxidermy, and the faint-hearted will be horrified.

"It feels a bit like a corpse soaked in formalin in biology class." Albert sat next to Li Jordan, looked at the glass jars around him, and couldn't help complaining.

When Albert looked around the classroom, he noticed the storage cabinet placed in the corner, which may store various raw materials that students may use when making potions, or the book "Advanced Magician" belonging to the Half-Blood Prince. Medicine Production".

On the podium, Snape looked down at the students entering the classroom, and behind him was a blackboard filled with ingredients and preparations for a scabies potion.

Albert raised his head to meet Snape's gaze, smiled politely and then looked away. Those were a pair of indifferent, empty dark eyes, which made Albert feel very uncomfortable.

Not long after, the bell for class rang.

Snape picked up the roster, and after seeing Albert's name, he paused for a moment, then looked away and continued to roll.

"The preparation of potions is a precise and rigorous process, and many people will not believe that it is actually magic." Snape's voice was cold, like the cold wind blowing in winter, and the indifferent face added The emotionless voice made the students in the classroom not dare to be naughty in the classroom.

"Every year, I meet a few idiots who burn through cauldrons." Snape said nonchalantly, looking around at the students in the classroom, "I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of potions. , I just hope those idiots aren't among you."

After Snape finished his opening remarks, the class was silent.

"Anderson!" snapped Snape, "what would I get if I added narcissus root powder to a wormwood infusion?"

Albert exchanged glances with Lee Jordan, shrugged and stood up, he could feel the whole class looking at him, but he wasn't nervous at all, and answered Snape's question neatly:

"Get a powerful sleeping pill, its name is Life and Death Water."

"If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?" Snape strode up to Albert's side, exerting an invisible pressure on him.

"Bezoar is a kind of stone taken from the stomach of a cow, which has a strong detoxification effect." Albert said blankly.

"Then what's the difference between the boat-shaped aconite and the wolf poison aconite?"

"The boat-shaped aconitum and the wolf poison aconitum are the same plant, and they are also collectively called aconitum."

"Copied from the book as is," said Snape contemptuously, "but basically correct~IndoMTL.com~ Albert sat down again, and it looks like he has passed Snape's Question.

Next to him, Li Jordan quietly gave a thumbs up, while Fred and George behind him tried to hold back their laughter.

In fact, they all guessed Snape's problem, and they couldn't help Albert.

"What are you waiting for, why don't you write this down?" Snape returned to the podium, turning to everyone.

There was a sudden rustling of quills and parchment in the classroom.

"You read the whole book?" Shanna whispered, admiring Albert for answering Snape's question.

A discerning person could actually see that Snape was in trouble with Albert.

Albert didn't answer, just raised his index finger to his mouth and made a quiet gesture, then raised his finger to Snape.

Snape stared at Shanna unhappily, and said indifferently, "Don't talk in class, Gryffindor will deduct one point."

In fact, Shanna was definitely not the only one who spoke. All Gryffindor students had realized that the Potions Professor was targeting their own house.

Just now is a perfect example, Albert's answer is perfect, at least in other classes, other professors will give Gryffindor at least five points, but Snape does not.

It is said that Snape is only partial to his own students, and now it seems that this is not a lie.

It doesn't matter if Albert adds points or not. He is secretly looking at the potions professor in front of him and matching him with Severus Snape in his memory:

Thin, hooked nose, gloomy enough, and greasy hair?

Well, the hair may have just been washed!

To sum it up in Tom's words: Snape really doesn't look like a good guy.
