Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 16
Such a steady, steady answer obviously exceeded Severus Snape's expectations.

He froze for a second, then raised his chin slightly, and carefully looked at this student who repeatedly "provoked" him with scrutiny.

"It's really unpleasant."

Snape thought to himself, a memory of the past flashed through his empty black eyes.After tens of seconds of silence, he spoke slowly, with undisguised disgust on his face.

"Grindelwald, you remind me of a man, a disrespectful fellow, arrogant and uneducated."

After a pause, Snape straightened up.

"I hope... you can bring me some surprises."

"I will, Master Snape, and I will do my best."

Klein bowed slightly, his attitude neither humble nor overbearing.

"very good."

Smiling sinisterly, Snape seemed quite satisfied with the answer.

"So."

Suddenly, his expression became serious, and he turned to look at those Slytherin and Gryffindor freshmen who were still dazed.

"Why don't you write down the answers to those questions just now?"

This sentence seemed to be a switch, and the froze freshmen reacted one after another, and the sound of "rustling" writing instantly filled the entire classroom.

Snape took a deep look at Klein and walked back to the podium.

"Potter, I'm going to deduct one point from Gryffindor for contradicting the professor. As for Grindelwald, you've earned five points for Slytherin, but if your potion doesn't satisfy me in a while, your confinement It will be extended from a week to a month."

After making a few notes on the parchment with a quill, Snape's tone was flat and unquestionable.After finishing speaking, he asked everyone to turn to the sixth page of the book "Magic Potion and Potion (Beginner)", and began to make today's potion formula in pairs - a simple potion for treating scabies.

By the way, Daphne Greengrass with beautiful blond hair was in a group with Klein.

"Klein, thank you. Thank you for the chocolate."

While weighing the snake teeth, while thanking Klein in a low voice, Daphne squeezed the brass weight hard, looking a little nervous.

"That's okay, Daphne, and you have too many snake teeth."

With a little helplessness in his eyes, Klein had no choice but to help the nervous classmates re-weigh the required medicinal materials.

Then, set up the pot, ignite the fire, put in the ground medicinal materials in turn, and stir.
His movements are steady and neat, like an extremely precise machine.

"Tsk."

Snape, who was quietly staring at Klein, twitched his lips.

"Slugs, fangs, porcupine quills, cicada sloughs, ha, making potions is really interesting."

If the charm of alchemy is "equivalent exchange", then the charm of potions is probably "infinite evolution".Klein was stirring the contents of the pot with a smile on his face. The bubbles that bubbled out made him feel very happy.

"Klein, you are a genius."

Because Klein finished brewing the potion by himself, Daphne, who had nothing to do, had to help him and do some work like preparing the medicine bottle.Seeing that the potion in the pot gradually turned into the crimson purple described in the book, she said enviously.

"Fortunately."

Klein smiled casually.

"If only I were like you, maybe this will be fine"

Muttering something in a voice that could only be heard by herself, Daphne's expression was a little downcast.

"what?"

Klein blinked his eyes and pretended to listen.

"Oh nothing, I mean look, the medicine is ready, let's pack it up."

Seeing that Klein was so close to her, Daphne was startled, and quickly took a step back.But soon, she realized that this was a bit impolite, and she couldn't help but blushed, and grabbed a crystal bottle falteringly, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Snapped."

Not far away, there was the sound of a vessel breaking.

"Miss Parkinson, take it easy!"

Snape drew his tone, and cast a cold look in the direction of the commotion.

"I'm sorry, Professor Snape."

Pansy lowered her head so that her face could not be seen clearly.

Draco, who was in her group, frowned, looking disgusted.

"I was rude. I should know that everyone has their own secrets."

Klein smiled, and took the crystal bottle from the little girl's hand.

"Feel sorry."

Daphne squeezed her robe, her voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Hey, you are the young lady from the Greengrass family. Look at Draco, and then look at Pansy. The most they said to me was not "sorry."

After filling the potion without leaking, Klein winked at the little girl beside him.

Most of the students in Slytherin College come from pure-blood families, and Daphne's Greengrass family, like the Malfoy family, has a high status in certain circles.

"Ha ha."

Daphne was amused, and unknowingly let go of her tension, staring at Klein's face, she asked a question back with interest.

"And you, Klein, you never talked about your family."

"I?"

Hearing this, Klein was stunned for a rare moment, then restored his usual expression, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"I don't have a home."

"Oh, sorry!"

Daphne's smile disappeared instantly, and a flustered look appeared on her face.

"I shouldn't have mentioned this!"

"Don't worry, I recently found my distant great-uncle. She is a very interesting person and treats me very well."

Thinking of Bathilda Bagshot's wrinkled but extremely kind face, Klein's eyes softened a bit.

"very nice."

Not knowing how to respond, Daphne had no choice but to follow Klein's words.

"If you have the opportunity, please come to Godric's Hollow as a guest, and I will do my best to entertain you. But for now, let the "just" dean come and rate our potions."

After all, Daphne was just a little girl with a fragile heart. Klein smiled, cleverly changed the heavy topic, and raised his hand to attract Snape who was patrolling the classroom.

"Grindelwald, it seems that you and Miss Greengrass are acting very neatly."

Floating to Klein and Daphne's desks like a big bat, Snape took the bottle of crimson potion.Pulling out the cork, he put the mouth of the bottle under his hooked nose and took a sniff, his face became gloomy.

"Well."

Daphne raised her heart to her throat in an instant, pinching the green edge of the robe nervously.

Is it
Have a problem with the medicine?
"not bad."

In the end, Snape still couldn't find a single flaw, so he had no choice but to give full marks with a sullen face and reluctance.

"Then, your closed time is one week, Grindelwald, starting tonight."

Putting away the medicine, he stared at Klein's sapphire-like eyes, and said lightly.
