"Let me think about it, who knows house elves better!"
Wang Xu sat on a chair, shaking the wine glass with one hand and tapping the rice on the plate with a spoon.
The house elf would watch the dishes being served, and knowing that Wang Xu was from China, the meals prepared for him were mainly rice.
Yesterday I had seafood and pork ribs rice, and today I had mutton pilaf. It was obviously specially prepared for him.
"When Hermione was in fourth grade, she established an organization called the House Elves Welfare Promotion Association. Although it ended in vain, it made her famous among the house elves. Maybe you can ask her."
Wang Xu thought of this and started looking for Hermione. After searching around, not only was Hermione not found, but Harry and Ron were also not there, as if they had already finished eating and left.
"What are you looking for?"
The person sitting next to Wang Xu today is not Snape, but Potions Professor Slughorn.
Hearing this, Wang Xu gave up the idea of going to the dormitory to find someone. Hermione couldn't run away anyway, it didn't matter whether it was early or late.
"I'm not looking for anything, just looking around."
Wang Xu paused slightly when he said this, looked up at Slughorn, and said: "Professor Slughorn, I heard that your Potions class is very good, and I know nothing about Potions.
I hope I can be lucky enough to attend it, okay?"
"Audit?" Slughorn smiled and nodded, and said repeatedly: "Of course, no problem. I have taught many students, but I have never taught a professor. This is my honor. In addition, I heard people say that you
In the morning course, we talked a lot about Muggles, do you know much about Muggles?"
"It's okay." Wang Xu himself is a Muggle, so from a wizard's point of view.
However, he is a stronger Muggle, and even these professor-level wizards are not enough in his eyes.
As for the Muggle Expelling Curse, Wang Xu found that it was of no use to him. Normal Muggles saw Hogwarts as a ruins with a Danger Do Not Enter sign, but Wang Xu saw Hogwarts as Hogwarts.
He didn't know the reason why he was not affected by the Muggle Exorcism Curse, but he just guessed that it might have something to do with his martial arts level.
We talked and laughed, spent lunch in small talk, and the time soon came to the afternoon.
Professor Slughorn's Potions class starts at 2:30 in the afternoon and lasts for two hours. There is not much lecture content, but there are many hands-on parts.
When Wang Xu followed Slughorn into the classroom, many students were already there, reviewing textbooks in the classroom. He quickly stood up after seeing them. Wang Xu looked at the environment. The Potions classroom was in
In the basement, there are fire pots lit around the classroom, and above the head is a magic crystal that emits white light.
I looked inside again and saw that the students taking this class were sixth-year students, but the Potions class was an elective. If you think you don't have the talent, you don't have to take this class.
Therefore, in the classroom, not all sixth grade students were present, only about one-third were present.
"Potions class is a delicate subject, and a small mistake can lead to a big mistake. I usually don't encourage students who are not talented enough to come to class, because it is irresponsible to them." Seeing that there are not many students coming,
Professor Slughorn spoke softly and explained to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu nodded clearly. Potions class was a compulsory course before fifth grade. In sixth and seventh grade, Potions class became an elective course.
Even the school believes that ordinary wizards do not need to master potions, because potions are rarely used in society, and 99% of students will never interact with potions in their lives after graduation, which is a bit similar to China
of English.
"Good afternoon, classmates. I'm glad you can come to class. Potions is a boring subject. Intelligence and persistence are the most important qualities. This morning, I brewed four potions in the classroom. The first three
Seed is something you have learned before, can anyone tell me what kind of potion it is?"
Slughorn entered the classroom, quickly entered the professor's state, and started asking questions to the students.
In fact, these students who arrived early had been talking about this issue before, and some people raised their hands soon after hearing the question.
Slughorn glanced around and took note of the students who raised their hands. Then he turned to look at Hermione in the crowd and said: "Hermione Granger, I have seen your fifth grade ordinary wizard."
In the exam, you got excellent in Potions, I think you can express your opinion on behalf of everyone."
Hermione came up with her books in her arms. She was a bully in primary school and enjoyed answering questions in class. She was often the one who raised her hand the highest.
With everyone watching, Hermione came to the four medical pots, opened the seal of the first one, sniffed it, and said: "The magic potion has the color of clear water, and the water surface can even reflect people's reflections, and
There's no peculiar smell, so I guess it's Veritaserum."
Slughorn smiled and clapped, gesturing for Hermione to continue.
Hermione took a deep breath and continued: "Veritaserum is a very powerful interrogation potion, its effect is similar to Legilimency, and Legilimency is a very advanced magic, generally only master-level magic
Only a teacher can master it.
Veritaserum does not need to be so troublesome, nor does it require the user to have master-level skills. It only takes a small sip, and the person who drinks the veritaserum will be in an ethereal state. In this state, the person's main consciousness will enter dormancy, and the brain will be
Subconscious manipulation.
At this stage, people cannot lie. However, recently, the Ministry of Magic believes that no suspect should be forced to become a witness against himself, thus identifying Veritaserum as an illegal product and prohibiting its use in interrogations.
."
"Excellent. Hermione's answer is almost perfect. One point for Gryffindor."
Slughorn smiled broadly and pointed to the second cauldron.
Hermione opened the lid of the second medicine pot, went up to it, sniffed it, and frowned: "This pot is polyjuice potion. Some people like to call it transformation potion. It has a very light taste and smells a bit like lemon juice."
, the color turns amber. This is a magic potion that is strictly prohibited from use by the Ministry of Magic, because it can turn one person into another person. This change is perfect. Except for the possible flaws in behavior, there are few magics.
Can see through this disguise."
"Correct answer, one more point for Gryffindor!"
Hearing the words in her ears, Hermione, who had succeeded twice, became more relaxed and walked towards the third cauldron in a happy mood.
As soon as the lid of the medicine pot was opened, Hermione was stunned for a moment.
Her face looked slightly red, and she said coyly: "This is the Ecstasy potion, also known as the love potion, lovers' potion, and love potion. It is said that its smell varies from person to person, and it will emit the most attractive thing about the person involved.
smell.
When you take the first whiff, it smells a bit like smelly shoes that have been worn for several months and have not been washed once. When you take the second whiff, it will become your favorite smell. For example, the smell I smell is that of grass.
Fragrance, the smell of ink, and cherry flavored toothpaste.”
Hermione blushed and ran away after saying this, looking very cute.
Wang Xu raised his eyebrows. He was the only one present who knew that this was not what Hermione smelled.
In fact, what she smelled in the Ecstasy Potion was Ron's scent, a combination of licorice and sweat.
Hermione herself later said that when she smelled this smell, she immediately thought of Ron.
It was also this time that she realized that she liked Ron, so the smell of Ron appeared in the Ecstasy Potion, which also paved the way for the love between Hermione and Ron in the sixth part.
It's just that compared to the original work, the movie version of the Harry series has deleted a lot of emotional scenes.
In the movie version, in the first and second parts, Hermione did not show her love for Ron, but she seemed to like her enemy.
In the third part, when Ron was injured, Hermione lay crying in his arms. This was actually a foreshadowing, but there were not many scenes, so many people ignored it.
There was a dance in Part 4, and Ron did not ask Hermione to be his dance partner. Hermione was so angry that she asked Ron's favorite Quidditch player to be his dance partner.
When Ron questioned her, Hermione said that if you want to prevent this kind of thing, please think of dating me first next time instead of using me as a last resort. What do you think I am? After saying that, she ran away crying.
.
From here, it can be seen that at this stage, Hermione and Ron already have a good impression of each other, which is particularly obvious in the original work.
Therefore, those who look closely at Hermione and Ron's love will understand that this is inevitable, because enemies often make good friends, and Harry and Hermione are friends, but they do not regard each other as men or women.
We treat him more like good buddies.
When Wang Xu first watched Harry Potter, he also hated Ron, thinking that he was not good enough for Hermione and that Hermione should marry Harry.
When he grew up, he realized that Hermione had a stronger personality and marrying Harry, who was equally strong, would definitely lead to divorce.
On the contrary, Ron, who is stupid and clumsy, can tolerate Hermione's shortcomings and avoid being irritated.
Just like what Leather Pants Wang said, it doesn't matter to me
