After breakfast, the four of them, Albert, carried their schoolbags and headed to the potions classroom in the basement. To be honest, going to the potions class right after eating was not conducive to the digestion of the food in the stomach.
"The door isn't open." Fred stretched out his hand to push the door open and found that the door to the Potions classroom was locked. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. It was rare that the Potions Professor didn't open the door in advance.
"Did we make a mistake?"
"Wait a moment." Albert stopped them from opening the door without permission.
After a while, there were more and more students in the corridor, and everyone was waiting outside the Potions classroom for Snape to come and open the door.
A few minutes later, the Gryffindor girls also came over, looked at Albert and joked: "You don't have a prefect badge?"
"forgotten."
"You also forget sometimes?"
Albert knew that the people were not making fun of him, but of the Ravenclaw prefect who wore the prefect badge.
"I think you should carry it with you all day long. It will be more prestigious that way, just like Percy, for fear that others will not know that he is the student union president." Fred said the bad things about Percy without any pressure. They all obviously noticed it. Here
Only Selwyn of Ravenclaw wears the prefect badge.
Selwyn looked unhappy, turned around and secretly took off the badge pinned to his chest and stuffed it into his pocket.
Aaliya noticed Albert's gaze, shrugged and said, "You didn't see how arrogant that guy was just now."
The whispers around him suddenly disappeared, and the corridor fell into an eerie silence. Snape was seen walking towards this direction, his face so gloomy that it was about to drip. Snape took out the key from his pocket,
Open the door to the Potions classroom.
"Before class begins, I must remind you of something."
Snape walked quickly to the podium, turned around and glanced at everyone with a stern look, "Next June, you will take the o.w.ls exam. At that time, you will prove how much you have learned. I hope you will do it in o.w.ls."
．w．I can barely pass the exam, otherwise I will be very angry.”
"Of course, after this year, many of you will no longer be able to take my classes," Snape glanced over the students and pouted slightly, "I only select the best.
Students are joining my Potions class, which means some of them will have to say goodbye."
"We still need to persist for another year before the happy farewell moment comes." Snape said softly, "Therefore, regardless of whether you plan to take the S exam or not, I suggest that you all concentrate on studying your homework well and achieve what I ask of you.
The o．w．ls students achieved a higher passing level.”
Fred and George were winking at Albert, seeming to be celebrating that they finally didn't have to see Snape again next term.
Of course, the Weasley brothers are not the only ones with this mentality. As we all know, Snape's Potions class is very difficult. As long as students in his S Potions class have excellent grades, it is usually difficult to surpass the S Potions class every year.
Two digits.
"Today, we are going to prepare a medicine that often appears in ordinary wizard level exams: the demulcent. It can calm and relieve irritability and anxiety, and help relieve your stress before the exam. I have seen many students unable to bear the o．w
．I was overwhelmed by the pressure of the LS exam, so I suggest you master how to prepare a demulcent agent, and you can prepare one for yourself or your classmates when necessary.”
"Of course, if you are careless when putting the ingredients, it may cause the person taking the medicine to fall into a dead and sometimes irreversible lethargy, so you need to pay special attention. The ingredients and preparation methods are on the blackboard. You have a
Half an hour...let's get started."
After Snape finished speaking, he waved his wand, and the door of the storage cupboard suddenly opened.
The demulcent is not that difficult, at least in Albert's opinion.
As long as the ingredients are added to the crucible in strict order and quantity, and the mixture is stirred for the specified number of times, the temperature of the flame when the crucible boils must drop to a specific standard and remain for a specific period of time before the last ingredient can be added.
Plant the ingredients and you’re done.
Rigor and standards have always been the key factors for the success of potion brewing, but for most students, this seems to be difficult to achieve.
When Albert poured two drops of hellebore syrup into the crucible, Snape suddenly appeared behind him and said coldly: "Professor McGonagall should have told you about the Potions Championship. Every weekend."
Be here at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Albert didn't answer, still focusing on the crucible in front of him.
Snape definitely did it on purpose. If his hands were shaking just now and he dropped more hellebore syrup, God knows what the pot of demulcent would have turned into.
The result was quite satisfactory. A faint, silvery white steam emerged from the cauldron, which was exactly the same as what Snape had just described.
Albert put half of the medicine sample into a short-necked bottle, labeled it with his name, and put the other half into his own medicine for storage.
After doing all this, Albert looked around. Except for him, no one else had succeeded. Some of them had some problems with the details, and the color of the potion was different from what was expected.
"It's just a piece of shit!" Lee Jordan stretched greatly when he left the classroom.
"I finally won't have to see Snape again next term." Fred was not much better than Li Jordan. His pot of potion smelled like rotten eggs.
"I'm afraid you'll have to take potions class by yourself next semester." Lee Jordan didn't feel any pity at all. He thought maliciously, "I just paid attention to the level of potions in our class, and I'm very suspicious of Snee.
Can our Potions class have enough students for ten students?"
"I think five is very reluctant." George analyzed. "Generally, Slytherin and Ravenclaw are better at potions than us. Albert, Ravenclaw's Catri
Na should be fine if she barely manages to do so. Whether Zanna can do well in the exam is still open to question. Hufflepuff will do it again..."
"Digory is still very powerful." Albert reminded.
"Okay, after counting that guy, we can barely make up four. There are a few outstanding Slytherins. Do you expect Montague?" George sneered.
"Speaking of which, if you fail to take advanced classes, does that mean you can graduate early?" Li Qiaodan suddenly asked.
"As long as we can successfully open a store, it doesn't matter if we fail the O.W.LS exam." Fred and George actually didn't care too much about O.W.L.S.

ls exam.
"I think your family will definitely be very dissatisfied with your grades." Albert reminded, "then your summer vacation will be very sad."
"What class is this afternoon?" Fred asked, changing the subject.
"Professor of History of Magic and Defense Against the Dark Arts," Albert said.
"I just hope our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor can be more reliable than Lockhart." George complained.
Last semester, Lockhart was really no ordinary fool.
"Professor Lupine should be pretty good. The level of wizards who can use the Patronus Charm is not too low."
"I hope I can learn something."
History of Magic was very boring in the afternoon. Professor Binns was talking about the Giant War, but most of the students fell asleep within ten minutes.
Albert did not listen to the lecture, but took out another book from his schoolbag and read it.
As for exams and homework, he had already asked Isobel to borrow his notes on the History of Magic in advance. Professor Binns always followed the textbook in class anyway, and the notes he took were basically the same.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts course is a bit of fun for everyone.
Professor Lupine did not finish the class, but spent a lot of time figuring out what they had learned from first grade to fourth grade.
"I'm very aware of the situation in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. You have changed four professors. In this chaotic situation, it is difficult to really learn anything." Lu Ping said softly, "But don't worry, everyone.
It's not as bad as you think.o.
w．
Most of the ls exam content is in "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide". Most of the actual combat assessment content you will face is just to expel some dark creatures, and as long as you master the methods of fighting them, you don't have to worry too much about failing to pass the exam.
.”
"Dark creatures, how should we deal with other dark wizards?" Fred raised his hand and asked, "For example, Black is at large."
"I think it will be difficult for you to encounter dark wizards, at least not before you leave school." Lupine saw everyone's expectant eyes and said helplessly, "I heard Professor McGonagall mentioned that Professor Lockhart once
I taught you the disarming spell, Mr. Dessen, do you mind coming up and showing it to everyone?"
Albert was pushed up by several friends around him.
Professor Lupine waved his wand to make space for both parties.
"How should we defend against most of the spells that other wizards use on us?" Professor Lupine nodded towards Albert and said, "We can start."
Toolman Albert raised his wand and used the disarming spell on Lupine very cooperatively. Before the spell could focus on Professor Lupine, the opponent used the Iron Armor Curse to block the spell.
Applause immediately broke out in the classroom.
"Very good, very good, Mr. Anderson." Professor Lupine said to everyone: "As you can see, I successfully performed Mr. Anderson's disarming spell. Does anyone know what spell I used?"
"Iron Armor Curse."
"Yes, it's the Iron Armor Curse, plus ten points for Gryffindor." Lupine continued, "The Iron Armor Curse can create a magical barrier that can deflect spells and physical entities to protect specific people or specific areas. It is a barrier that can resist
Defense spells for many kinds of spells."
"The spell of the Iron Armor Curse: Armor Protection?."
"Sir, are we going to learn the Iron Armor Curse in the next class?" someone asked with anticipation.
"no."
"Why don't you teach me? I think the Iron Armor Curse is more useful." Someone asked dissatisfiedly.
"Because my current task is to let you pass the O.W.LS exam with as high a score as possible." Lu Ping said gently, "If after teaching the remaining content of "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide", there are still
If I have time, I can teach you some more magic, but for now you should focus on the o.w.ls exam."
