Today, Friday, Eli will have his first Potions class.
I don't know if it's intentional or not. Slytherin and Gryffindor have obviously disliked each other for so many years, and even fighting is not uncommon, but the school puts these two rival houses together in many courses.
No, this is also the case in Potions class.
Eli can guarantee that from today on, the first-year Gryffindor wizards will hate Potions class.
If nothing else, the Potions professor was Snape.
Eli knew something about Snape's miserable childhood. Not only was his sweetheart stolen by Gryffindor, but he was also humiliated by those people on the spot for three days.
It seems that once he took off Snape's pants in front of everyone.
With Snape's vengeful character, as long as he is still a professor in this school, Gryffindor will not have a good life.
As good as death, he is still the Head of Slytherin.
His reputation as a child-protector was well-known throughout Hogwarts.
He was such a fierce god, and the person who humiliated him back then was Harry's father. The fate was also so ingenious that Harry had Lily's eyes, but his father's face.
It's conceivable that Harry might be deducted a few points today for entering the classroom with his left foot.
And Eli was also quite nervous, because his face looked so similar to Lily's, he was really afraid that Snape would make some unexpected move.
If you want to say who is the most infatuated person in the entire Harry Potter series, it must be Snape.
Therefore, in order to reduce Snape's attention to him, he did not bring the chemical equipment.
The environment in the Potions classroom was as dark as Snape's face. It was a basement, dank and dank, and normal people would never take classes here.
"Eli, where have you been these past few days? We have almost never seen you!"
Before Snape came, Harry sat down next to Eli.
Damn it, brother, can you stay away from me?
Eli almost kicked Harry away as he approached.
He was afraid of being noticed by Snape. This guy was like a target in Snape's eyes. Sitting next to me would not attract fire!
Of course, Eli considered himself to be a very calm and composed person, and he did not do anything inappropriate.
But he still secretly moved a little to the side.
"I've been studying recently. It's normal if you can't see me."
Harry and Ron both cast questioning looks.
When Eli saw it, he immediately became anxious.
Why, are you looking down on me? When the time comes that I will achieve great feats, I will envy you to death!
Just when a few people were chatting happily, there was a loud bang at the door, and the old bat... ah no, Snape made his debut.
From head to toe, nothing but black.
Wearing a black cloak that can be dragged to the ground, he walks with his arms held high, and coupled with his hollow eyes like a dead fish, he looks like an old bat.
The classroom fell silent instantly, and the students, including Slytherin, were so embarrassed by Snape's way of entering the underworld that they dared not speak out.
"I can guarantee that this professor is definitely not easy to mess with,"
Ron whispered.
Snape walked to the podium in a few steps and glanced around the classroom with his empty eyes as if looking for prey.
The prey was found, and Snape's eyes immediately rested on Harry.
On his eyes to be precise.
Looking at Harry's face for a moment, Snape suddenly showed an expression of disgust as if he had eaten a fly.
The corner of his eye glanced at Eli next to him, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he could no longer look away.
Eli lowered his head slightly the moment Snape came in, not daring to look at Snape at all.
His eyes stayed on Eli for a long time, and he glanced at Harry who was looking blank on the side, with an expression as if he found a lump of Ollie next to his rice bowl.
"Mr. Potter"
Harry raised his head blankly when his name was suddenly called. The poor kid didn't know what would happen next.
Eli had already begun to observe silence, but he didn't expect Snape to target Harry so quickly.
That voice without any emotion but full of magnetism echoed in this dark underground classroom.
"Didn't Gryffindor leave a seat for you?"
At this time, the place where Harry and Ron were sitting, including Eli, was full of little snakes.
Although there is no explicit rule, it is a convention that wizards from the same college will sit together during class.
"Professor..." Harry still wanted to struggle, but was ruthlessly interrupted by Snape.
"I don't want to say it again, Mr. Potter!"
Seeing Snape's frightening expression, Harry and Ron had no choice but to return to their seats in Gryffindor in despair.
After driving away Harry and Ron and looking at Eli sitting there alone, Snape felt refreshed and the whole world became beautiful!
Snape, who was in a great mood, began to make his declaration for Potions class.
"You are here to learn the precise science and art of potion making."
His voice rose slightly.
"Since there's no silly waving of wands here, many of you won't believe this is magic. I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of a simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrant aromas wafting out. You will not truly understand the miraculous magic of the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which makes people feel dizzy and blur their will... I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you are not The kind of idiot I often meet is the kind of idiot who is stupid."
Eli felt uncomfortable sitting there alone, and this time he was completely exposed under Snape's nose.
I have to say that Snape's speech was still very tempting, and all the little wizards in the classroom were attracted.
Especially Draco, his eyes lit up when he heard about improving his reputation. When Snape mentioned immortality, his expression almost made him run up to express his loyalty to Snape.
When Eli heard this, he began to mourn Harry again, because the poor little guy was about to receive the first wave of Snape's attacks.
"Mr. Potter!"
Harry, who was suddenly cueed again, raised his head blankly. He already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Snape said calmly, "Tell me, what will you get when you add narcissus root to wormwood infusion?"
Harry hadn't even turned a few pages of the textbook, how could he know what he would get.
"I don't know, Professor."
Snape didn't react at all, because when he asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Eli.
There was a little bit of jeers around, all coming from the little snake, mainly Draco and his little followers.
Hermione raised her hand high to indicate she could answer, but Snape ignored her.
"Don't know? Okay, where can I find the bezoar?"
"I don't know, Professor"
was the same answer, the sneer became louder, Hermione still raised her hands high, and Snape still turned a blind eye.
"What is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?"
"I don't know..."
At this point, Harry's voice became much softer. Snape's three questions about death really caught him off guard.
Snape slowly looked away from Eli and glanced at Harry.
"Oh, it seems that being famous doesn't mean anything. If you can't even preview before class, ten points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
Suddenly, wanton and mocking laughter came from the little snakes, and Draco was even more proud. He looked at the expressionless Harry.
Snape glanced around, "So why don't you write down all the questions I just asked? It seems that only Mr. Hall knows that quills are used for taking notes. Ten points for Slytherin!"
Eli : "???"
Looking at the quill in front of him that wasn't even stained with ink, Eli slowly typed a question mark.
Hermione looked at Eli with an unconvinced face. She could clearly answer just now!
Even the little snakes were baffled by this sudden bonus.
Dean, it's not okay to be so blatantly partial...but there can be a little more!
Eli felt a little emotional. Snape was indeed deeply in love. The questions he just asked seemed to be making things difficult, but in fact, he expressed his debt to Lily through his words.
But this unique method is really difficult for our Harry.
Next came the potions class practice. Snape assigned them to complete the potion to cure scabies, working in pairs.
But Eli was divided into a single group, and I don't know if it was intentional.
This kind of introductory potion is definitely something that Eli can easily grasp.
Even without those scientific instruments, he could make a very good potion just by relying on the touch he had developed before.
He moved very quickly because he didn't know how many times he had practiced this potion at that time.
Cutting the medicine, squeezing the juice, and heating it all were done in a smooth and fluid manner, quite like a great master.
And all of this was seen in the eyes of Snape, a true master, and his eyes sparkled.
I walked slowly to Eli. At this time, Eli was almost finished, while the other groups were still stumbling around, flipping through books and cutting medicine.
Snape picked up a spoonful of potion with a spoon and smelled it a little, with an expression on his face as if he had discovered a treasure.
"The book about hellebore sap says you should add three drops. I see you did something different just now?"
Snape's voice was exceptionally gentle.
Although he was made uncomfortable by Snape's sudden tenderness, Eli was still a little proud that his potion had attracted the attention of the Potions Master.
"Actually, I found that the dosage in the book is only the most common and stable one, but it is not accurate enough, so I collected the juice and poured it along the stirring rod, which would be more accurate." Eli said quite easily. This was
his It took a lot of galleons to test and get the result!
The light in Snape's eyes almost overflowed. He seemed to have found a confidant, "Yes, yes, the book is not accurate. You should have your own ideas."
He suddenly straightened up, "Slytherin added Twenty points!"
He picked up Eli's potion and showed it to everyone, "I think you should really take a look and see what a real potion is!"
Hermione had just finished heating it, but Eli had actually finished it, and the quality was so good. She looked at Eli as if she had seen a ghost.
Is he really studying?
The class ended quickly, and most of them made potions, but they were absolutely incomparable to Eli.
Perhaps because of Eli, Snape was in a particularly good mood, and even gave Harry a few words of advice, which almost made Harry flattered.
Even when Neville spilled the potion, he only got yelled at a few times.
"Write today's test on the parchment and give it to me next time. In addition, Mr. Hall will keep it."
