Harry Potter's Otherworldly Archmage

"Now?? How long have you been teaching at Hogwarts?" she asked, quill ready to write on the clipboard. "14 years." Snape's expression was unfathomable.

Augustus dropped the prepared neutralizing potion into the concentrated potion, and the silver potion in the crucible made a terrible hissing sound and gradually turned into light blue.The next step is critical and is the final stage of enhancing potion configuration.

"You applied to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts first, didn't you?" Professor Umbridge asked Snape.

Snape didn't answer. At this time, his attention was completely focused on Augustus. He needed to observe how Augustus handled the evening primrose.As the key to promoting the sublimation of medicine, evening primrose must be evenly cut into clusters of herbs of equal size and volume. This step is too time-consuming for many students. After all, evening primrose is relatively slender, and Too soft, so processing this herb requires the most time and energy.However, the last step of the enhancer takes an uncharacteristically short amount of time. Therefore, if a perfect enhancer is to be formulated, how to process the evening primrose quickly and accurately is the most critical step.

Above this step, Augustus obviously had a well-thought-out plan, and the technique he used was also very simple. The method of stacking was applied to this aspect.First, use the flat surface of the utility knife to flatten a bundle of evening primrose on the table, then quickly stack it 5 times, and finally, use the sharpness of the wind element to cut the folded point to form a uniform bundle of evening primrose is placed on the table.

A flash of wonder flashed in Snape's eyes, flattening and folding, he has no doubts about this method, the key is how to use the folded evening primrose to precisely act on the cutting point, which is a bit strange, after all, if you use Tools, with the gentle nature of evening primrose, it is difficult to perfectly split it.So, in the end, the evening primrose broke instantly, and the overlapping points separated layer by layer, only by magic.

Augustus picked up the evenly divided evening primroses on the table, waited patiently for 30 seconds, and waited for the light blue potion in the crucible to turn into dark blue. Short evening primroses were spread flat in the potion in the crucible.Evenly heated medicine is added with strong medicinal evening primrose, which is instantly promoted and catalyzed.Layers of gray mist floated above the crucible, which is the standard image of the final stage of the enhancer. Continue to stir clockwise twenty times. Finally, the dark blue liquid slowly solidifies and turns into viscous blue particles.At this point, the enhancer is fully configured.

"Perfect." Snape sighed slightly, "Twenty points for Slytherin." Even with his methods and skills, the fastest time to complete a pot of enhancers without any flaws is just in this way.

Turning around, looking at the various gazes constantly cast on the cauldron in front of Augustus's desk, Snape's face gradually became serious, "I don't ask you to achieve the efficient and precise allocation method of Augustus, but, At least, every step I ask of you needs to be done, neither missing nor increasing, some of you may be born dull." Having said that, he glanced at Harry, "However, if you do it step by step, such a basic method can't be done well, so don't think that you can join the advanced potion class. I only need the best students."

Harry curled his lips slightly, and he couldn't wait to say goodbye to Snape forever.Who cares what advanced class.

Hermione glanced at the potion in the silver liquid crucible in front of her, and shook her head helplessly. Even with her efficiency of constantly looking for shortcuts and methods to save time, she still couldn't reach even half the time limit of Augustus. .It has to be said that except for the history of magic memorized by rote, which can be slightly on par with Augustus, in any other courses, the tests in the classroom and the final exam, the gap between her and Augustus is really too far.

Umbridge looked at Augustus who started to clean up the table. Snape had no time to pay attention to her question before because Augustus had been assigned to a critical stage. If it was another student, she might be tougher, but since it is Augustus, she also had to swallow her breath and wait patiently.

In the classroom, apart from Augustus, the other students were still sweating profusely concocting potions. When Snape was observing Augustus, Umbridge was also paying attention. Compared with other people in the classroom, the precise and quick deployment method is too obvious, which makes her feel that God treats some people too favorably, and the background and genius are favored by one person at the same time. People are born to be looked up to by others.

Coughing lightly, Umbridge turned to look at Snape, "It's still the same question, have you applied for the Defense Against the Dark Arts position before?"

Snape casually glanced at the surrounding students, except for Hermione's well-regulated modulation method, the other students were completely unsightly.Shaking his head in disappointment, he turned around and said indifferently to Umbridge, "Obviously."

Professor Umbridge was scribbling on his clipboard.

"You've applied to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts many times since you came to school, haven't you?"

"Yes." Snape whispered, his lips barely moving.He looked annoyed.

"Do you know why Dumbledore keeps refusing to use you?" Umbridge asked.

"I suggest you ask him," Snape replied stiffly.

"I will," said Professor Umbridge, smiling.

Augustus slowly and quietly cleaned up the remnants on the table. The conversation between Umbridge and Snape made him feel a little funny. Obviously Fudge thought that Snape was Dumbledore's confidant, but, so The vulgar alienation is really too clumsy.In the wizarding world, the only two known legendary wizards, Snape has already betrayed Voldemort. Does Fudge think that this former Death Eater will leave Dumbledore and join his camp?

"Does it matter?" Snape asked, his dark eyes narrowed.

"Yes," said Professor Umbridge, "the Department would like to know all about the teachers' - er - backgrounds." She turned away, walked up to Pansy Parkinson, and started asking her about the course.Pansy's family has some relationship with Umbridge, so, almost every class, Umbridge will investigate some situations of teachers through Pansy.
