Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 41 Snape's 'mistake'

Gryffindor's first-year potions class is taught with Slytherin.

Friday, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am.

Potions classrooms are located in the basement of Hogwarts.It was cold and dank here, and along the walls were bottles and glass jars full of creepy and strange specimens.

There are animals, plants, some slimy and bloody, some lifelike, floating in a translucent amber solution.

The three of McGuffin hurried to the Potions classroom.

Thankfully I wasn't late.

The classroom can accommodate at least [-] students in class. On the long wooden table are copper balances, jars of potion ingredients, and more than [-] crucibles.

Slytherin and Gryffindor sat down and divided the classroom into two parts.

Malfoy looked surprised when he saw the three of them sit down, he couldn't believe they'd made it before class started.

boom!
The classroom door was pushed open, Professor Snape was like a cold black bat, wearing a black cloak, walked through the corridor with a stern face, and came to the podium.

He picked up the roster and began to roll the rolls. When he called Potter, he always focused on expressing his love and care for Harry Potter, and then there was his very intimidating opening speech.

"You have come here to learn the exact science and exacting craft of potion-making."

"Since there's no foolish wand waving here, none of you will believe it's magic.  … I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew your glory, and even prevent death—but only if you're not one of the dumb fools I've been dealing with so often."

After a short prologue, McGuffin knew that bad luck was coming for Harry.

really--

"McGuffin!" said Snape suddenly, "what would I get if I added powdered daffodil root to an infusion of wormwood?"

Ok?
(O_O)?
"McGuffin!?" Snape repeated, raising his voice a little.

Only then did McGuffin realize that the bat spirit was calling himself, not Harry.

It's okay, he knows the answer.Isn't it just (sleeping pills) water of life and death!
McGuffin opened his mouth to speak, but was half fainted by his threatening tone.

Before he could react, Snape had already stepped off the podium and took a few steps forward in the passage between the desks.

"It seems that we, the heir of the Dark Lord, are very courageous! Good! How dare you not answer the teacher's questions just after school begins!"

He drawled and spoke in a harsh tone.It seemed that he also knew about that outrageous rumor, and deliberately mocked McGuffin.

——Kao, I didn't offend this guy, did I?

Almost all the Slytherins covered their mouths and sneered. Malfoy even laughed so hard that he lay down on the table and slowly hammered the book with his fist.

"Are you an ignorant fool or a brave fool, McGuffin, since you are the heir to the Dark Lord! Let me see what you are capable of!"

Snape scanned McGuffin's and Harry's faces with his icy tunnel eyes.

McGuffin didn't know what enmity this old bat had with him, what resentment, why did he target him like this?In the original plot, these questions were obviously answered by Harry.

"McGuffin, if I asked you to find a piece of bezoar for me, where would you find it?" Snape came to the side of the three of them, MacGuffin and Harry.

You don’t need to read textbooks or recall the original MacGuffin to know this. There are too many programs about Chinese medicine and health preservation that have been introduced in previous lives.

But now, he didn't dare to answer, for fear of leaking poisonous gas.I had no choice but to use a mosquito-like voice to open my mouth and pop out a few words, "Search from the cow's stomach."

"Is this the level of the Dark Lord's heir? What a disappointment!" Snape turned to leave.

Malfoy nearly fell to the floor laughing.

"Contempt the professor for not answering the questions. MacGuffin! I'll deduct 5 points from Gryffindor."

Harry gritted his teeth, looking very unconvinced, McGuffin quickly kicked his leg, trying to stop the impulsiveness of this unthinking Tie Hanhan.

"Professor Snape, McGuffin answered your question, but you didn't hear it. The answer came from the cow's stomach." Harry stood up and said directly.

"Oh! Another famous person has stepped forward." Snape turned around and said.

At the same time, his nose was wrinkled, and he took a strong sniff of the smell in the air.

"Potter, let me see how capable you are. Tell me, what's the difference between the boat-shaped aconite and the chamaejasma aconitum?"

Snape's face was full of doubts. After turning around, he leaned closer as if he was looking for something.

Harry glanced at the McGuffin, who instead made a zip on his lips.

What do you mean?
Hermione's arm was raised high from the other side.

Some Slytherins couldn't help but chuckle.

"Tsk tsk, it seems that the so-called fame..." Snape moved closer to Harry, and the two looked at each other indifferently.

Before he finished speaking, he seemed to have discovered something, sniffing the air hard, and got a little closer to the three of Ron, his nose almost touching Harry's hair.

"Potter, let me give you another chance! What can Bai Xian do?" Hermione raised her arms tremblingly, and she almost stood up.

"I don't know, sir." Harry said, turning his head, his voice getting quieter, and by this time he knew what McGuffin's gesture meant.

He also found out that his 'biochemical weapon' had been leaked - he was smoky enough.

"What's the smell?... Potter, speak up! Otherwise, you'll deduct 10 points from Gryffindor." Snape asked himself in confusion, and then said harshly to Harry.

"I don't know, sir." Harry was forced to say loudly under Snape's persecution.

"Oh uh-vomit!"

Professor Snape screamed, bent over and retched, almost fainting.

Because when Harry was talking, he was sniffing the air in front of Harry--I'm afraid that's where he just noticed the smell and got close to it.

So his nose was directly attacked by the poisonous gas exhaled from Harry's mouth.

It's over!
Not only Harry, but also McGuffin thought so.

Malfoy suddenly understood what was going on, and he bit his fist to keep from laughing out loud, almost out of breath.

The smell began to waft around, and everyone gradually began to understand what happened under Malfoy's propaganda.

McGuffin supported Harry from the side, and Harry was almost on the verge of being publicly executed - knocked out.

After Snape regained his strength with trembling hands, he gave Harry and the others a disgusted look, and walked straight away to the podium.He waved his wand, and there was a burst of air in the classroom, and the smell disappeared.

"Potter, I don't care what you, Mr. McGuffin, and Mr. Ron ate before my class—in my class, such a strange smell is not allowed to waft. If there is a next time——next time, I will let you leave this classroom, or even this school forever." Snape took a big breath of fresh air and paused for a while before speaking again.

"Because you disrupted classroom discipline, Gryffindor will be deducted 15 points."

"As for this class, please shut up the three of you, if I smell a strange smell again, Gryffindor will deduct another 15 points."

Slytherin burst out laughing, and Malfoy slid to the ground laughing and rolling.The Gryffindor students talked a lot.

In the midst of the noise, Harry, McGuffin and the three suddenly felt that almost all the students, including Gryffindor, were staring at them, especially Hermione Granger, with thorns on their backs.

"Sit down." Snape yelled angrily. "Not yet!"

All the students shivered, and there was no sound in the classroom.

He really wasn't in the mood to say more, so he directly explained the answer to the question just now. "Narcissus silver powder and wormwood can be combined to make water of life and death. It is a powerful sleeping pill. Bezoar is a stone extracted from the stomach of a cow, which has a strong detoxification effect. As for... the juice extracted from white fresh is the most effective herbal medicine for healing. Do you understand? Don't hurry to write it down."

The rustling of notes being copied resounded in the classroom.

(Note: In the classrooms of Hogwarts, there are often various magical accidents caused by the mishandling of the little wizard, and this not only tests the professor's magical strength, but also tests his sense of smell to detect danger from small and subtle places. Of course, sometimes being too sensitive may cause harm instead.)
