Chapter 214 I know swelling potions too well

Malfoy, who lost the Quidditch match, always held a grudge against Harry.

In the head-to-head confrontation with Harry Potter, he was completely reduced to a clown, and Harry made him look like a playboy who entered the team through the back door.

Malfoy was also extremely aggrieved: he was selected into the Slytherin team first, and then bought brooms for his teammates! Why did it turn out that his father bought a Nimbus 2001 for every member of the team before he was included in the team? The order is reversed!

There is no way, competitive sports dishes are the original sin. If he can capture the Snitch against Gryffindor, he will receive a lot of praise even if he really bribes the team to get in through the back door. It's a pity that he lost, and lost two games in a row! This time, his reputation was completely ruined.

The young Draco Malfoy did not understand this truth, and he simply transferred his hatred to Potter. In his opinion, Potter had to bear most of the responsibility for ending up in the situation he was in today.

Finally he decided to "trick" Harry in Potions class.

It's obviously a bit of a suicide attempt to cause trouble in Potions class, but Malfoy has this confidence, and it's not for anything else, just because he is Lucius's son! The relationship between his father and Professor Snape was very strong.

In the eyes of ordinary students, the Potions classroom was like a devil's cave, and when he returned here, he felt as if he was home. Although Malfoy didn't like the atmosphere here very much, he knew that Snape was particularly tolerant of him.

Taking advantage of Ron and Harry's distraction, Malfoy sneakily took out a string of hard-drawn fireworks. Interestingly, he asked someone to "purchase" this from Fred.

After quickly lighting the fireworks with the wand, the thumb-sized firecracker began to hiss and burst out sparks. Malfoy took a deep breath and used a floating charm to send the fireworks steadily into Ron's cauldron without even splashing much water.

Harry and Ron, who were concentrating on eating the melon, didn't even notice Malfoy's little movement. By the time they realized something was wrong, Ron's cauldron had already exploded.

The almost finished swelling potion sprayed out of the crucible like a small fountain.

Snape turned around suddenly, lifted up his robe and used his sleeves to cover the potion rushing towards him. Rice also pulled out his wand, and a freezing spell froze most of the splashed potion into small ice balls.

After freezing the sprayed liquid, Rice also conjured a cover over Ron's Crucible, trapping the "aftermath" in the cover.

Due to Les's extremely quick action, few people were injured by the potion explosion. Only Harry and Ron who were closest to the crucible were affected, and almost no other students were affected.

"Idiot!" Snape's tone was full of anger. He used the shortest time to clean up the potion on his body and rushed to the table of Harry and Ron.

Harry reacted quickly. He took out the anti-swelling potion he had prepared before, first applied it to Ron, whose head and color had already resembled a pumpkin, and then poured it on his arm, which was swollen like a winter melon.

Harry was gifted in potions. His swelling potion was very effective and the effect when applied to the affected area was immediate. When Snape's anger broke out, Harry and Ron had even returned to normal.

Snape waved his wand and swept away the potion spilled on Ron's table, and the ice beads disappeared along with it.

He stared directly into Ron's eyes, as if he wanted to see into his soul. Malfoy, who was sitting diagonally behind Ron, felt quite sorry that Rice and others had dealt with the trouble quickly, but he became happy again when he saw Ron being targeted by Professor Snape.

However, Malfoy's happiness did not last long. Snape just looked at Ron for a few seconds, waved his robe, turned and walked away.

"Five points from Gryffindor because you didn't take good care of your cauldron." Snape's cold voice echoed in the Potions classroom. "Ten points from Slytherin. If the potion explodes in the future, Learn from Mr. Lint, a timely freezing spell can solve most problems."

Malfoy frowned: Was it Rice's behavior that made Professor Snape happy?

His feeling was unmistakable. The moment Ron's cauldron exploded, Snape's heart was cold, but Les's spell made his heart beat again.

In so many years of teaching, this is the first time that Snape has met a student who can hold him accountable - other little trolls are considered outstanding students if they don't blow up their own cauldrons.

"Living in a room with twenty trolls", this is a true portrayal of Snape's class. This torture will continue until the fifth grade, until the OWLs test filters out those students who are not suitable for learning potions. It will be much easier to teach students in sixth and seventh grade. Snape requires that only students who get an "excellent" certificate in Potions in the OWLs exam can continue to study their own courses. At least these students will not make stupid mistakes.

The great thing about Les Lint is not that he can skillfully make potions - this is indeed great, but in his more than ten years of teaching career, Snape has encountered many such students. What is unique about Les is that when faced with emergencies, his spells are timely and appropriate, and his techniques are as sophisticated as if he had dealt with hundreds of accidents.

This surprised Snape. He couldn't help but think of the day when he taught Les for the first time. That day they were making potion for boils. There was also an accident, and Les' movements were also extremely capable.

Maybe he really has a talent for being a Potions Master.

As proud as Snape was, he had to admit that Les had the best talent he had ever seen so far.

Snape planned to reveal the matter lightly, but Les was unwilling.

He knows the swelling potion very well. This kind of potion may be diluted, may be "mushy" during the concentration process, and may not meet the performance required by customers due to poor raw material handling, but it will not explode.

As long as you have the right kind of materials, it's almost impossible to make it explode.

The raw materials were provided by Snape, so there could be no problems. Les had also observed Ron's table, and the materials on it were all fine. Even judging from the remaining materials, Ron's handling method was also correct. . The most important piece of ironclad evidence was Ron's head, which was as swollen as a pumpkin.

This shows that his swelling potion was successfully made.

That means someone is causing trouble.

Les stood up, walked straight to Ron's cauldron, and found a ball of black ashes inside.

As Les stood up from his seat, he had the entire classroom's attention. When he fished out the suspicious object, the huge Potions classroom fell silent.
