Chapter 256: Follow-up Influence and Rumors (Repair)
The main hall on the first floor of Hogwarts.
Lunch time is approaching, and students scattered across the school castle gather in twos and threes in the hall, sitting at the long table and chatting, while waiting for the delicious food to appear on the white plates.
However, as time goes by, the topic in the hall has gradually shifted from the discussion about the mysterious and wealthy Mr. "Otto Apokalis" to the first-year little wizard who has just arrived in the restaurant - to be precise
Said, it’s the little guys from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who have just finished the [Potions·Cooking·Class].
Suck~smooth.
Justin Finch-Fletchley waved his arms and said happily to Ron Weasley and Harry Potter at the next table.
"It turns out that the senior class has always been scaring us - just like those nasty jokes when opening branches. Eldest sister Elena is right, Professor Snape is just not that good at expressing emotions, but it is definitely me
The best professor I have ever had. You can't imagine how interesting Potions class today was."
"If possible, I would rather have a potions lesson from Professor Snape every day."
Ron raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, his face full of disbelief:
"But every time George and Fred mention Professor Snape during the holidays, they don't seem to have any good comments. As far as I know, Professor Snape's class has always had the most points deducted."
"Come on, Ron, your twin brothers always speak very exaggeratedly. Anyway, I only believe the facts I see. Professor Snape even gave Elena a point in class today - you know,
Just before class, Elena contradicted Professor Snape once."
Next to him, Ernie McMillan greedily sucked the snail shell in his hand, shrugged and retorted vaguely.
Not to mention that seeing with the eyes is belief and hearing with ears is illusion.
Trust between people is built up little by little.
Whether it is the moonlight that illuminates the winding mountain road, or the extremely reliable simulated branch; whether it is the extra training intensity of leading by example, or the bold and exciting plan to rob the kitchen; whether it is the reliable back figure who actively cuts off the back, or sitting in the potion
The precise operation at the front of the classroom serves as a standard demonstration...
Compared with those senior students and even all adult wizards, who have been exaggerating the horror and difficulty of the sorting ceremony since they entered school, and are very secretive about the rules and regulations of the entire school, they have always been honest with others, set an example, and are considerate and reliable.
Elena is obviously much more believable.
Not to mention, with Elena's help, all the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards successfully completed the first potions class practice in their lives and made quite successful [Cheese Baked]
snails】.
As a result, Elena's reputation in the hearts of this group of little guys has almost soared to the full value - there is an essential difference between her own strength and her ability to make those around her successful.
"No, Professor Snape is very strict. I clearly saw him lecturing people at the door of the classroom."
Hermione frowned, her tone full of doubt.
"Professor Snape is the coldest and most terrifying professor in the entire school. So many Gryffindor seniors also say that. It's not like every one of them has colluded to lie to us. This
Not logical."
"Cold and harsh? Maybe, but Professor Snape, the one you call the most terrifying, took us all to catch snails next to the Forbidden Forest during class break. Unexpectedly."
Justin Finch-Fletchley wagged his fingers with a look on his face, and nodded his chin towards the snail shell in Ernie's hand.
"Here, that's the big snail that Ernie and I personally caught next to the Forbidden Forest. It was used as the raw material for making [Cheese Baked Snails] during the potion practice stage of the second class."
"Catch snails? [Baked snails with cheese]?"
Hearing Justin's explanation, Hermione's eyes showed confusion, and she shook her head subconsciously, "That's not right. The first period of Potions class should be about [Scabies Treatment Potion]. I've obviously memorized it..."
"Don't forget, Hogwarts has changed, Granger."
It was rare to see the always arrogant "Second Sister" confused. Justin Finch-Fletchley smiled, crossed his arms and imitated Elena's tone.
"It is undoubtedly a great disrespect for potions and one's own safety to let a beginner who doesn't even master basic knife skills and cooking skills start directly with potion preparation. As Professor Dumbledore said, Huo
Gwarts is experiencing an unprecedented crisis, and each of us needs to contribute some small effort to the school."
"Medicine and food come from the same source. Just as various magic potion recipes correspond to different potions, different cooking processes will also produce established dishes - whether it is brewing [potion for treating scabies] or cooking [baked snails with cheese],
In essence, it is a process of processing and combining materials. Except for the difference in the final results, there is no difference in the relevant knowledge learning."
There is no doubt that Elena has carefully prepared for several months, and can even impress a potions master like Severus Snape with her words to deal with Hermione Gig who has only carefully previewed the textbooks for a month.
Lang Jie, it’s really too simple.
And for an obedient student like Hermione, just the two labels "Professor Snape accepted it" and "Professor Dumbledore suggested sharing" are enough to dispel all the remaining doubts in her mind.
"Has the process of Potions class been changed? Oops... I haven't previewed the new content at all."
The next moment, Hermione's expression suddenly changed and she said anxiously.
"Do you have any notes? Can you lend them to me?"
"Don't worry, we haven't rehearsed before, and we have succeeded in the first attempt. Granger, you are so smart, you must be fine. In fact, according to Professor Snape, the whole process is the same as the [Scabies Treatment Potion]
The process is very similar.”
Ernie MacMillan shrugged and said with a relaxed expression.
"However, Granger, if you really want to know more information, why don't you go directly to Elina's head? Our whole class followed the big sister's standard moves and learned step by step.
The operation was completed in the same way.”
"Speaking of which, I really want to taste the food made by my eldest sister...it must be delicious, right? After all, Professor Snape couldn't help but eat it all in one go. If eldest sister Elena can feed it with her own hands,
Me, of course it would be better..."
As he spoke, the picture appeared in Ernie's mind, and a silly smile appeared on his face as if he was daydreaming.
The same scene and dialogue happens to almost every Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw first year.
There is no doubt that whether it is Professor Snape with a sudden change of painting style or the cheese-baked snails exuding an alluring aroma, they are enough to ignite the curiosity of all students - the entire auditorium occasionally bursts into small-scale exclamations.
Voice.
Amid the discussions about the reform of the Food and Potions classes, Professor Snape's secret love history, the reason for Professor Snape's cold expression, and the Professor's unspeakable painful past are also discussed in "Don't tell others, I just
The promise of "tell you someone" slowly spread among the students for the first time.
However, for these stories to truly explode in power, it will take a period of brewing and an opportunity to promote them.
Sure enough, all this was caused by that lecherous white-haired dumpling.
"Don't think about it, she will choke you to death."
Hermione glanced at Ernie Macmillan, who was lost in his daydream, raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and slapped Ernie on the forehead hard in annoyance, pulling the little boy out of his fantasy.
While talking, Hermione looked at the cheese-baked snails on the tray in the little boy's hand, and her stomach growled slightly unconsciously.
"Okay, I understand. Leave a cheese-baked snail for me to study. I will ask Elena for more details later in the herbal medicine class in the afternoon."
——This is for learning and reference, well, it is definitely not because she is hungry.
Unknowingly, Hermione seemed to have some traces of Elena in her body.
"No...Second Sister, this is the only one we have left."
Justin Finch-Fletchley and Ernie MacMillan were shocked, suddenly came to their senses, and begged pitifully.
"Hannah and Susan should have a lot more over there, and they are more delicious than what we make, or else..."
Based on this week's experience, all the little wizards have almost summarized an unwritten first-year power system.
When Elena is present, naturally all the glory goes to the eldest sister.
When the eldest sister is away, Hermione Granger and Hannah Abbott are in the first sequence at the same time. Once there is a conflict with one of them, the wisest thing to do is to summon another "second sister" to buffer
.
"Hannah?"
Hermione raised her head and glanced at Hannah Abbott, who was sitting uncharacteristically quietly at the Hufflepuff long table, looking at the door of the auditorium in a daze, her face turned red unconsciously - for some reason, since that short period in the morning
After whispering about Bai Mao Tuanzi, she suddenly felt that Hannah was not so difficult to contact.
"Speaking of which, it's strange...why Elena didn't come to the auditorium with Hannah."
It was at this moment that Hermione suddenly realized what the absent-minded Hannah was waiting for.
Obviously, for some unknown reason, Elena did not leave the classroom with Hannah at the end of get out of class.
"Could it be that Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore..."
