The trajectory of the moving stairs and some passages in the castle will change today. In order 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 into the milk cereal and asked George beside him.
"Two potions lessons in the morning," Albert said after wiping out the sausages on his plate, "with the Slytherin students."
"I remember the Potions Master was Snape," George said suddenly.
"Snape...oh, is he the one Albert wanted to take a picture of last time?" Li Jordan remembered something, "By the way, are you okay with that?"
"Which thing?" Albert looked at Li Jordan in confusion.
"Didn't Snape say he wanted to question you?" Fred reminded.
"Oh, you guys are talking about that thing, there should be no problem." Albert even flipped through the book last night, and he can remember most of the content in the book. As long as you are not very tricky, you don't have to worry at all.
"I remember Snape seemed to be the Head of Slytherin House."
"Yes!" George leaned his head over and whispered, "Everyone says that he only favors his own students and never gives extra points to students from colleges other than Slytherin."
"Be careful, he is staring at you!" Albert said softly.
These words startled George. He quickly retracted his head and looked around carefully, but did not find Snape's body. He knew that he had been deceived and glared at Albert dissatisfied, "You guy"
…”
"Why can you make such a joke seriously?" Angelina walked to them tiredly and sat down next to them. Looking at the laughing people, she couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Today was really bad. I got lost and almost found it.
Not in the restaurant location.”
Albert turned his head and said to Angelina: "I heard that you became a backup player for Quidditch. Congratulations."
"Thank you." Angelina looked at Albert suspiciously. She also learned about Albert from Li Jordan, and also knew that Charlie intended to recruit Albert to join the Quidditch team.
However, the other party doesn't seem to care about his position and may be snatched away by him.
"Don't forget to bring the things you need for Potions class later, and we'd better not be late, so as not to give Snape a chance to cause trouble for us." After finishing breakfast, Albert took out the bag from his backpack.
Take out another book "Thousands of Miracle Herbs and Mushrooms" and start flipping through it.
The Potions classroom is located in a basement below the castle. They entered through another door in the foyer and followed the downward stairs to the bottom of the castle. This place was even colder than the main building of the castle above.
They walked into the classroom and found that all the Slytherin students had already arrived.
The Potions classroom is not large, but it can accommodate at least twenty students. The walls around the classroom are filled with various glass jars filled with animal specimens, which will make the faint of heart creepy.
"It feels a bit like a corpse soaked in formalin in biology class." Albert sat next to Li Jordan, looked at the glass jars around him, and couldn't help but complain.
When Albert looked around the classroom, he noticed the storage cabinet placed in the corner, which may contain various raw materials that students may use when making potions, or the "Advanced Potion Making" that belonged to the Half-Blood Prince.
.
On the podium, Snape was looking down at the students entering the classroom. Behind him was a blackboard, which was filled with the ingredients and preparation methods for a potion to treat scabies.
Albert raised his head and met Snape's eyes, smiled politely and then looked away. Those were a pair of cold, empty black eyes, which made Albert feel very uncomfortable.
Soon after, the school bell rang.
Snape picked up the roster, paused for a moment after seeing Albert's name, then withdrew his gaze and continued to call the names.
"The preparation of potions is a precise and strict process. Many people will not believe that this is actually magic." Snape's voice was cold, like the cold wind blowing in winter.
The emotional voice makes the students in the classroom afraid to be naughty in class.
"Every year, I always meet a few idiots who burn through the cauldron." Snape looked around the students in the classroom and said coldly, "I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of potions. I just
I hope those fools are not among you."
After Snape finished his opening remarks, the whole class fell silent.
"Anderson!" Snape said suddenly, "What would I get if I added narcissus root powder to a mugwort infusion?"
Albert exchanged glances with Li Jordan, shrugged and stood up. He could feel that the whole class was looking at him, but he was not nervous at all and answered Snape's question neatly:
"I got a very powerful sleeping pill, its name is Water of Life and Death."
"If I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you look for it?" Snape strode to Albert's side, exerting invisible pressure on him.
"Bezoar is a stone taken out of the stomach of a cow. It has a strong detoxifying effect." Albert said expressionlessly.
"Then tell me what is the difference between Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum wolfsbane?"
"Aconitum scapulae and Aconitum wolfsbane are the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum."
"Copied from the book," Snape said contemptuously, "but basically correct."
Albert sat down again. It seemed that he had successfully passed Snape's question.
Next to him, Li Jordan quietly gave a thumbs up, while Fred and George behind him tried not to laugh.
In fact, they all guessed that Snape's question could not trouble Albert at all.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you write this down?" Snape returned to the podium, turned around and said to everyone.
There was a sudden rustling of quills and parchment in the classroom.
"Have you read the whole book?" Zannah whispered, she was very impressed that Albert could answer Snape's questions.
Anyone with a discerning eye could actually see that Snape was causing trouble for Albert.
Albert did not answer, but raised his index finger to his mouth to make a quiet gesture, and then raised his finger to point at Snape.
Snape stared at Zannah unhappily and said coldly: "Don't talk in class, one point will be deducted from Gryffindor."
In fact, Zannah was definitely not the only one to speak. All the Gryffindor students had realized that the Potions Professor was targeting their own house.
Just now is the best example. Albert's answer was perfect. At least in other classes, other professors would at least give Gryffindor five points, but Snape did not.
It is said that Snape only favors his students, and now it seems that this is not a lie.
Bonus points or not, Albert didn't care. He was secretly looking at the potions professor in front of him, matching him with Severus Snape in his memory:
Thin, hooked nose, gloomy, and has greasy hair?
Well, your hair may have just been washed!
To sum it up in Tom's words: Snape really doesn't look like a good person.
