Chapter 123 Snape's Little Classroom
Slytherin.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, the common room was a little deserted. There were only first-year and second-year students here. After all, it was rare to have no classes early in the morning.
In a corner of the common room, Ino sat quietly on the sofa, with two old books and a purse with the Gringotts mark beside him.
These two books were borrowed from Pansy before, about the freezing spell and the snow-making spell, and the purse was filled with melted gold.
The purpose of today is to pay Pansy for the room and return the books.
Let's not talk about it when there is no money, that's really no way. But now there is a half bag of gold coins left by Jacob, if I don't pay it back, it's really a bit immoral.
As for the books on freezing spells and snow-making spells, he flipped through them roughly and found that the content inside was very shallow, and there was no in-depth explanation of the principles of the spells, but more of the application of some small skills.
And what he lacks the least now is the skills to control ice and snow. For example, just like swimming, humans need to learn some swimming skills after birth, but what about fish in the water? Swimming is an innate instinct.
Therefore, he also planned to return the two books together, so as to avoid the last incident, borrowing books for a few months and forgetting to return them, which was quite embarrassing.
At the same time, in the Slytherin girls' dormitory.
After hearing a first-year girl come in to pass on a message, Pansy changed into a robe and walked out of the dormitory.
"Don't you wear makeup?" Lying on the bed, Daphne looked at Pansy helplessly. She felt that some people just didn't understand.
"No need! I'm not the puff witch in Gryffindor. Compared with beautiful looks, I think Ino values capable girls more."
Although she said so, when passing by the dressing table, Pansy also picked up the perfume next to it and calmly sprayed herself a few times.
...
Common lounge.
"Good morning! Sorry to disturb your rest." Ino stood up and looked at Pansy apologetically.
Hearing this, Pansy smiled faintly: "It's okay, and I usually don't sleep late in the morning, and I'm free in the dormitory."
"Okay! I have something to ask you so early, and I'm afraid I'll forget it again." Ino said, and put the purse and books on the small table in the lounge.
"Here are about three pounds of gold, which I use to pay off the previous house payment. The extra is considered as the interest I pay."
Compared with the gold price he exchanged in Gringotts before, one ounce of 145 Galleons, three pounds of gold, it is more than six thousand but less than seven thousand Galleons. The extra is really regarded as a favor interest, after all, few people will sell Hogsmeade real estate through formal channels.
On the other side, unlike what he expected, Pansy took the purse without any refusal.
"I'll take the money, but you can come to me anytime when you need it in the future."
"Haha, okay!" Ino agreed with a smile, and also cut to the next topic: "And these two books, I have finished reading them and now I'm giving them back to you, thank you."
...
Two things, less than a quarter of an hour before and after.
On the sofa, Ino watched Pansy's back as she left, and felt that this little girl was more and more approachable. She was not only efficient, but also never procrastinated, and had no superficial subtlety or courtesy.
He even found that Pansy had some of Professor McGonagall's shadow inexplicably, and she was resolute in doing things.
Of course, Pansy's performance seemed much softer than Professor McGonagall's. Although he also knew that this was a calm and restrained appearance, at least it would be easy to get along with her.
"Pansy's book is back, it's Professor Snape's turn..." Ino looked up at the clock in the lounge. It was half past eight in the morning, and there was still half an hour before the first class in the morning.
This time was just enough for him to go to the auditorium for breakfast, and when he came back, he would catch up with the end of the potions class and return the Half-Blood Prince's notes to him.
...
Potions classroom.
After the class ended, as the little wizards filed out, the whole classroom fell into a brief peace again.
"Knock! Knock!"
Although the classroom door was open, Ino still chose to knock on the door first.
Snape looked out the door expressionlessly. After seeing who was coming, he suddenly changed to a sarcastic tone:
"Ha! Finally you are willing to devote a little energy to the Potions class? Has the Transfiguration class fallen out of favor in your heart? Mr. Swinburne, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award."
"Uh..." Ino was a little confused instantly. Professor McGonagall probably said something, although she never said it in front of the students.
But looking at Snape's tone, it is clear that Professor McGonagall must have said it in the staff lounge.
"Professor... I'm actually here to return the book."
After hesitating for a long time, Ino decided to tell the truth. Return the notebook early to avoid forgetting it. After all, it is really embarrassing to forget to return something you borrowed.
"Ha! I take back what I said before. It seems that someone is not willing to devote a little energy. This is good, so that you can study Transfiguration well." Snape's tone became more and more sarcastic.
Although it is sarcastic, it is also a good thing. With Snape's personality, he is willing to say so much nonsense, which is actually a silent attitude.
Similarly, Ino also found that Snape's face had become more lively in recent days. But now is obviously not the time to think. The most urgent thing is to return the book first and eliminate Snape's prejudice.
"Professor, you misunderstood! I copied all the contents of the notes. For this reason, I went to Hogsmeade specifically to buy "Advanced Potion Making."
After hearing this explanation, Snape rarely continued to mock. He pointed to the tabletop: "Put it here! If you have nothing to do, you can leave."
Hearing this, Ino put down his notes, but he did not leave.
"Professor! I want to learn how to make the Felixir. It is very useful to me."
"Felixir?" Snape was about to mock, but after seeing Ino's serious expression, he fell into a brief silence.
"Go learn how to process medicinal materials first." Snape said calmly:
"Distillation, extraction, slicing, fermentation, purification, calcination, and moisturizing... When you can do all this, come to me to learn the Felixir."
"Okay, professor!" Ino nodded seriously.
He knew very well that this was not perfunctory, this was the real teaching.
And just as he was about to leave, Snape's voice came to his ears again.
"Every Tuesday, from 7 to 9 pm, I have a lot of medicinal materials to process!"
"I will definitely be on time!" Ino turned around, bowed slightly to Snape, and bowed.
That's how it is. Others' kindness needs to be remembered. He was willing to do this gift.
How many people want to get the private lessons of the contemporary potion master, and even can't buy them with money. After all, the last thing the potion master lacks is money.
