Chapter 60: In potions class
Friday is a very crucial day for Albert.
The trajectory of the moving stairs and part of the passage in the castle will change today. To avoid getting lost on the way to the restaurant, they decided to go to the restaurant with other senior students.
"What classes do we have in the morning?" Li Qiaodan put two sugar cubes in the milk cereal, and asked George beside him.
"Two potions lessons in the morning," Albert said after wiping out the sausage on the dinner plate, "with the Slytherin students."
"I remember the Potions Professor is Snape." George said suddenly.
"Snape...oh, is the one Albert wanted to take a photo of him last time?" Li Jordan thought of something, "Right, are you okay with that matter?"
"What is it?" Albert looked at Li Jordan in confusion.
"Didn't Snape say to ask you a question?" Fred reminded.
"Oh, you said that, there should be no problem." Albert even turned the book last night. Most of the content in the book can be remembered, as long as it is not very tricky, don't worry at all.
"I remember Snape seemed to be the dean of Slytherin College."
"Yes!" George leaned his head over and whispered, "Everyone says he only favors his own students and never gives extra points to college students other than Slytherin."
"Be careful, he is staring at you!" Albert whispered.
This shocked George. He quickly retracted his head and looked around carefully, but did not find Snape's body. Knowing that he had been deceived, he glared at Albert dissatisfiedly, "You guy ..."
"Why can you make this kind of joke seriously?" Angelina walked to their side wearily and sat down, watching the laughter and shaking her head. "It's really bad today. I got lost. I almost looked. Not the location of the restaurant."
Albert turned his head and said to Angelina: "I heard that you have become a Quidditch backup player, congratulations."
"Thank you." Angelina looked at Albert suspiciously. She also learned about Albert from Li Jordan and knew that Charlie was interested in getting Albert into the Quidditch team.
However, the other party doesn't seem to care about his position, and he might be snatched away.
"Don't forget to bring the things you need for the potions class later, and we'd better not be late, and don't give Snape a chance to trouble us." After eating breakfast, Albert got out of his backpack. I took out another "A Thousand Wonders of Herbs and Mushrooms" and started reading.
The potions classroom is located in a basement below the castle. They entered through the other door of the foyer and went down the stairs to the lower part of the castle, which looked colder than the main castle building above.
They walked into the classroom and found that the Slytherin students had arrived first.
The potions classroom is not too big, but it can accommodate at least two dozen students. The walls around the classroom are filled with various glass jars soaked with animal specimens, and the cowardly people will feel the creeps.
"It feels a bit like a corpse soaked in formalin in biology class." Albert sat next to Li Jordan, looked at the surrounding glass jars, and couldn't help but vomit.
When Albert looked around the classroom, he noticed the storage cabinets placed in the corner, which may contain various raw materials that students may use when making potions, or the "Advanced Potions Making" that belongs to the Half-Blood Prince .
On the podium, Snape was looking down at the students entering the classroom. Behind him was a blackboard with the ingredients and preparation methods for the scabies potion written on it.
Albert raised his head to meet Snape's gaze, smiled politely, and looked away. It was a pair of cold, hollow eyes that made Albert feel very uncomfortable.
Soon after, the class bell rang.
Snape picked up the roster, and when he saw Albert's name, he paused for a while, then retracted his eyes to continue the call.
"The preparation of potions is a precise and rigorous process. Many people would not believe that it is actually magic." Snape's voice was cold, like a cold wind blown in winter, his indifferent face plus nothing The emotional voice makes the students in the classroom afraid to be naughty in class.
"Every year, I always meet some idiots who burn the cauldron through." Snape looked around the students in the classroom and said coldly, "I don't expect you to really understand the beauty of potions, I just Hope those idiots are not among you."
After Snape finished his opening remarks, the class was silent.
"Anderson!" Snape said suddenly, "What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to the wormwood infusion?"
Albert exchanged glances with Li Jordan, shrugged and stood up. He could feel that the whole class was watching him, but he was not nervous at all and answered Snape's question neatly:
"Get a very potent sleeping pill, its name is Life and Death Water."
"If I wanted you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you find it?" Snape strode over to Albert's side, exerting an invisible pressure on him.
"Bezoar is a kind of stone taken from the stomach of a cow. It has a strong detoxification effect." Albert said blankly.
"Then tell me what is the difference between aconitum aconitum and aconitum aconitum?"
"Aconitum boat and Aconitum chamaejas are the same plant, and are also collectively called Aconitum."
"Copied from the book intact," Snape said contemptuously ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but it was basically correct. "
Albert sat down again, and it seemed that he had passed Snape's question smoothly.
Li Jordan next to quietly gave a thumbs up, and Fred and George behind them both tried not to laugh.
Actually, they all guessed Snape's problem, and Albert couldn't help it at all.
"What are you waiting for, why don't you write it down?" Snape returned to the podium and turned to everyone.
There was a rustle of groping for quill and parchment in the classroom.
"Have you eaten the whole book?" Shanna whispered. She admired Albert for answering Snape's questions.
Anyone with eyesight could actually tell that Snape was looking for trouble with Albert.
Albert did not 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 nonchalantly: "Don't talk in class, Gryffindor will give you a point."
In fact, Sanna is definitely not the only one who speaks. The students of Gryffindor have already realized that the Potions Professor is targeting his own academy.
was just the best example. Albert's answer was perfect. At least in other classes, other professors would give Gryffindor at least five points, but Snape didn't.
They said that Snape only favored his own students, and it seemed that this was not a lie.
No extra points, Albert doesn't matter, he is secretly looking at the potions professor in front of him, and confronts him with Severus Snape in memory:
Thin, hooked nose, gloomy enough, and greasy hair?
Well, my hair may have just been washed!
To summarize in Tom's words: Snape really didn't look like a good person.
