Chapter 24
Even though I know Quirrell is Voldemort’s man.
But what does this have to do with how well he teaches.
When he teaches, he can only read from the textbook, stuttering and hesitating. He is not even as good as Professor Binns. He deserves a bad review. He didn’t even talk about how to fight against the ghouls that Ron said he kept as pets at home.
He talked a lot for a whole class, but Harry didn’t hear a single useful word.
I heard that Professor Quirrell used to teach Muggle Studies.
This semester, he applied to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. The purpose is obvious, that is, he wants to get in touch with himself in the first year.
After all, Muggle Studies is only learned in the third year.
Voldemort chose such a thing to prepare to deal with him?
Who is he looking down on?!
Harry felt that he could relax a little bit.
Maybe this Voldemort is also a brainless person.
No, it may also be to numb himself and relax.
It’s still a problem of strength.
He is not strong enough, so he lacks a sense of security.
Transfiguration class is in the afternoon.
After the Transfiguration class, Harry still pestered Professor McGonagall to learn more knowledge.
Time is running out, comrades.
Although Dumbledore repeatedly assured him of his safety, but.
Other people’s promises may disappear at any time.
People must rely on themselves.
Friday morning is Potions class, and there will be a break in the afternoon.
The Potions class is taught by Professor Snape.
All the little Gryffindor wizards have an unnatural look on their faces.
Because they all learned from their seniors.
Professor Snape is very unfriendly to students from the three colleges except Slytherin, and any little problem will be infinitely magnified.
Especially Gryffindor!
As soon as Snape came in, he severely intimidated everyone.
Then he set his eyes on Harry.
Harry obviously would not have a good face for this middle-aged greasy man who had always coveted his mother.
“Look, who is in our class this time? The famous Harry Potter!”
Snape walked slowly to Harry and looked down at him.
Harry looked at Snape with his emerald green eyes coldly without saying anything.
The two of them fell silent at the same time, and the students around them suddenly felt a depressing atmosphere.
Neville, who was sitting next to Harry, quietly pulled his chair away a little, wanting to stay away from the center of the battlefield.
“Potter, didn’t your father teach you to stand up when facing a professor?”Snape suddenly said.
There was a chuckle from the Slytherin side. It was Malfoy.
“Oh! Forgive me for forgetting that you don’t have a father.”Snape said in a strange tone.
This time all the Slytherin students laughed.
The Gryffindor students not only clenched their fists, but also looked at Snape with dissatisfaction. Everyone knew about Harry’s family situation.
How could they say such things to Harry?
This is not just poking at someone’s scars.
But Snape is not only a professor, but also the dean of Slytherin, so they dare not speak, and can only look at Harry worriedly.
Harry maintained a cold look, stood up and said to him:”Sorry, professor, in fact, not only do I have no father, I don’t even have a mother, so no one has taught me these.”
Snape’s face trembled. The
Slytherins laughed even louder.
“Snape slammed his fist on the table with a loud bang.
“Shut up, do you think this is funny?”
“If you guys can’t stop your goblin-like mouths today, maybe I have to pour the water of life and death into your shit-filled heads, or…Drink the forgetfulness potion and smile again.”
Slytherin shut up instantly. The dean seemed to be in a bad mood today. The poison of a venomous snake can hurt its own kind.
Snape looked at Harry coldly, and when he saw his eyes, he dodged slightly unconsciously.
“Potter, I’ve heard from other professors that you are a clever student, but in my Potions class, you don’t need to use your cleverness.”
“Potter, if I add powdered narcissus root to the wormwood juice, what will be the consequences?”Snape suddenly changed the subject and asked the question
“”Water of Life and Death, a very powerful sleeping pill.” Harry replied
“If I ask you to find a piece of bezoar, where would you look?”
“The stomach of the cow.”
Snape looked into Harry’s eyes, and his cold expression softened a little.
“What are the differences between Aconitum kusnezoffii and Aconitum carmichaelii?”
The whole class no longer felt like a class for young wizards.
Instead, it was a question-and-answer session between Snape and Harry.
Snape asked questions that covered almost all the first-year content. There were some that Hermione didn’t know, but Harry answered them fluently. The
Gryffindor students looked at Harry with admiration, while the Slytherins had ugly faces, especially Malfoy, who bit his lip and looked at Potter with reluctance.
Damn Potter, didn’t you grow up in the Muggle world? How do you know so much?
“He is indeed a little clever.” Snape looked into Harry’s eyes and said in a low voice.
His face, which had originally relaxed, turned cold again when he saw Harry’s hair and face.
He shouted to the others:”Don’t you know how to take notes?”
Everyone hurriedly took out their pens and pretended to scribble on the paper.
“Because of your crippled hands, Gryffindor will deduct 2 points.”Snape said.
Gryffindor students froze.
Slytherin students showed smug expressions on their faces.
Snape asked the students to divide into groups of two and taught them how to mix a few simple herbs to treat burns.
Harry had debugged this potion several times before entering school, so it was not a big problem.
The problem was
“The porcupine quills cannot be put in until the crucible is lifted from the fire. Harry grabbed Neville’s shaking hand and was about to throw the porcupine quills in.
“Thank you.”Neville was very glad that he was assigned to a team with Harry.
He felt that he should be able to make the potion safely this time.
But Snape appeared in front of him silently.
“Mr. Potter, you are so good now that you can ignore your potion and win people’s hearts and make him your follower, right?”Snape’s sinister voice sounded. When
Neville heard this horrible voice, his shaking hands loosened directly, and the porcupine quills in his hand fell directly into the pot, splashing a lot of water.
Harry quickly pulled Neville back to avoid being splashed by the water.
“Stupid, you can’t even hold the herbs, how can you make potions?”Snape looked at Neville, who was about to cry.
He didn’t have any sympathy, or he didn’t have any such thing.
“Did zombies eat your brain?”
“Potter, why didn’t you remind him to hold on to the herbs? Gryffindor will be deducted 2 points for your mistake.” Snape said.
