·
Rui Chen 3499
Kong Nuo took out the class schedule and prepared to choose a classroom closest to him for a visit.
After a round of screening, the Potions classroom located on the basement floor of the castle met his requirements very well.
Not only was it very close to the auditorium, but it was also a class for freshmen. He really wanted to see how the professor Snape with the big hooked nose would leave a deep impression on the freshmen.
When he came to the Potions classroom, Kong Nuo could clearly feel that it was much colder than the auditorium in terms of temperature and atmosphere.
The classroom occupies a large area, and there are many wooden shelves leaning against the walls. In addition, crucibles need to be placed on the students' desks, so the location is not considered open.
Rows and rows of huge glass jars were placed on these wooden shelves, and inside the glass jars were one after another strangely shaped specimens.
Some of these specimens are embryos and some are viscera, which are different.The only thing in common is that they are all soaked in a cloudy potion that can embalm.
These specimens sometimes floated and sometimes sank in the potion, without any pattern at all, combined with the already cold atmosphere in the underground classroom, it looked very strange.
When Kong Nuo walked into the classroom, the freshmen who had shrunk their necks suddenly straightened up, like sunflowers, and kept turning in the direction he was walking.
He sat in an empty seat, waved his hands to the students who turned their heads to look at him, and said, "It's fine if I don't exist. I'm here to observe your class."
A rosy-cheeked girl with two golden braids was closest to him and asked, "Professor Kong! When will your class be available? I didn't see it on the schedule for the first week. I really want to Learn the magic of that kind of blessing! It's so spooky here! I'm a little scared..."
This girl, Kong Nuo, was the first freshman to undergo the sorting ceremony and enter Hufflepuff. Her name was Hannah Abbott.
"I probably won't be in class until next week." Kong Nuo glanced at the entrance of the classroom before whispering, "If you want to learn the magic of blessing, it may take a while. This magic is not so easy to master."
This was a good opportunity to collect the Power of Faith. Before Snape entered the classroom, he asked the students to join hands and move closer together, adding a buff to this group of trembling newbies.
He raised his hand and glanced at the magic watch on his wrist. Just at the moment when the time was exactly nine o'clock, the classroom door was suddenly pushed open roughly, with a "bang".
The loud noise undoubtedly frightened all the freshmen, and at the same time, attention was quickly focused on Snape in black robe.
The black robe on his body seemed to be the same style as the one from yesterday, and when he walked towards the podium, the robe fluttered in the wind, like a big bat gliding at low altitude.
Snape, who was standing on the podium, crossed his fingers and said in a low voice indifferently: "Now roll call, I hope there are no idiots who are late for the first class..."
Connoy had already started to record in his notebook the process of Snape's release just now, and he had already begun to think about how he should improve such a process.
Breaking open the door when coming out can effectively attract the attention of students, and the distinctive way of walking and dressing can deter students very well.
As for the roll call, he will delete it from the whole process.After all, what he had to face was a whole school of students, and it would take at least half an hour to roll the roll of all the students in the school.
Snape picked up the roster on the podium and began to roll the names of the students present.After all the freshmen shouted, Kong Nuo briefly met his gaze.
His eyes suddenly became weird, as if he saw something extraordinary.
Immediately afterwards, Snape coughed lightly and asked, "Professor Kong, may I ask why you are here? And you are still sitting on the student's desk."
Connoy put his head on his hands and smiled slightly, "I'm here to admire Professor Snape's heroic posture and observe his teaching skills."
"I saw you go to the principal's office last night. The principal should have told you? If you think I'm an eyesore here, then I can leave here now."
At this time, the freshmen turned their heads in unison, their eyes showed a signal that almost called for help, as if they didn't want him to leave here at this time.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling face, Snape snorted coldly, did not continue to pay attention to Kong Nuo, and instead looked at the newbies who started to shrink their necks again with stern eyes.
"Let's get rid of the idlers and enter today's class. First of all! I need to correct a wrong idea of yours. Magic is not just about waving a wand stupidly. That's too rough."
"You came here to learn how to prepare potions. This is a subject that requires extremely high talent, patience, and memory. In fact, I don't expect you people to have much talent for potions."
"What you have to do now is to concentrate! Listen carefully! Strictly follow every step I wrote on the blackboard! Carve every word I say into your mind!"
"In this way, you can learn from me how to increase reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death."
Connor was writing furiously in his notebook, transcribing Snape's impeccable opening speech in its entirety.
What's more, according to Snape's attitude just now, he definitely couldn't raise his hand now and ask Snape to repeat what he just said.
Except for the rustle of Connoy's pen touching the notebook, the entire Potions classroom fell into silence, and the freshmen were stunned by Snape's opening remarks just now.
So far, within ten minutes of entering the classroom, Snape had established a decidedly strong image among the students.
However, Konno could keenly sense that Snape didn't like the job of a teacher. He seemed to want to use such an absolutely powerful image to directly instill the knowledge of potions into the students' minds.
The reason for this feeling is that during his chat with Flitwick, as long as he mentioned anecdotes related to students, Flitwick's eyes would always light up.
But Snape's eyes were only indifferent and empty, and those dark pupils were like two endless tunnels.
In general, Konno still learned a lot of useful things from Snape's first lesson.
For example, make some noises to attract attention, then use dramatic movements to establish an image, and finally an opening sentence that is handsome and deterrent enough to bluff all the students.
This potion class of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had just entered the stage of making potions, and he didn't want to stay in such a cold place for too long.
While Snape was going to the office next door to carry the medicinal materials for class, Konno waved to the freshmen and left the Potions classroom.
