Hogwarts: I act like a boss in front of Hermione

"Professor, please forgive me for using knowledge from other books. My original intention is just to make this potion for treating boils more effective. Can you help me identify the effect of this potion after the potion is prepared?"

Noel had not read any book that mentioned how old the slugs should be, and no book mentioned that this would affect the effectiveness of the potion for treating boils.

This was the conclusion reached by Noel through experiments using slugs of different ages when preparing this potion. Of course he compared more than just a single pair of slugs. Other materials used in the preparation of potions, such as nettles, snake teeth and porcupine quills, have been experimented with.

"Black, of course I will evaluate the potion you prepared. If it is not effective, the points you previously obtained for Slytherin will be taken back by me." Snape warned Black with his gloomy and majestic voice.

……

While Snape was scolding Harry, Noel and Hermione had finished mixing the potion.

"Is Neville going to be okay?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, Madam Pomfrey will treat him well, and he will be as active and vigorous as usual tomorrow." Noel said to Hermione while putting the potion into the container.

"Will the potion we prepared really be very effective? If Professor Snape is not satisfied, will he really deduct points? I have already been deducted once, will I be deducted again?" Hermione then asked.

"He will lose points. Miss Granger." Hermione didn't notice that Professor Snape had come to her and Noel.

"Black, give me the potion you and Granger mixed."

Noel handed the bottle containing the potion into Snape's hand.

Snape opened the bottle cap, took a look at the quality of the potion in the bottle, and then brought the bottle to his nose and smelled it.

"Blake, Granger, for you who are preparing potions for the first time, this time you are qualified." Snape put down the potion and said to Noel and Hermione.

The tone was less gloomy and more approving.

"Thank you, Professor. We will keep working hard."

Professor Snape ignored Noel and Hermione and moved to observe the progress of other students' potions.

"Hermione, stop being dazed and help me clear the table." Noel said to Hermione who was at a loss.

At this time, Hermione's mind was still thinking, "Oh my god, what did I say, and the professor heard it. Gryffindor is going to get points deducted again because of me..."

"Noel! Tell me, how many points did Professor Snape deduct from me?" Hermione glanced at Snape in the distance and asked in a low voice.

"Hermione, are you okay? The professor didn't deduct any points from us."

Looking at the cute Hermione in front of him, Noel felt that there was something wrong with the way she opened it. This was not like the top-notch Hermione she knew in her previous life. Where did her attributes of being a top student go?

In this way, the two Potions lessons ended quickly under Professor Snape's scolding.

……

"Noel, I heard from Pansy and the others that you got 5 points for Slytherin in Professor Snape's Potions class, which is amazing."

Noel, who had just come out of the Room of Requirement and came to the auditorium to eat, heard Gemma's voice coming from the side.

"It's okay. Gryffindor students don't have preview textbooks, otherwise I wouldn't be able to teach Professor Snape the knowledge."

Noel turned around and saw that it was Gemma Farley and her friends.

"Senior Farley, do you know that Professor Snape has a class tonight? I have something to do and want to see him."

"Noel, you asked the right person. When I went to Professor Snape's office to get the course schedule, I found that he only has classes during the day and no classes at night."

"Okay, thank you, senpai."

After Noel chatted with Gemma Farley for a while, he came alone outside Snape's office.

Professor Snape's office was not far from the Slytherin House common room, and Noel met Bloody Barrow on the way. Bloody Barrow told him that Professor Snape had just entered the office, and his face was not very good.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Hello, Professor Snape, my name is Noel Black. I have some questions about potions that I would like to ask you." After knocking on the door, Noel said to the room.

"Come in!"

Noel opened the door and found that Professor Snape was indeed as Bloody Barrow said, with a gloomy face. Is it because he has a day of lessons for first-year students today, or is it because he saw Harry today and thought of Lily? The timing of my coming is not very good, Noel thought to himself.

"I'm very busy, Black. I hope you're not bothering me because of something boring. Don't give me extra points because you think I'm tolerant of you today!" Snape stared at him like a snake staring at a rabbit. Blake, said grimly.

"I'm very sorry, Professor. I have some doubts about the preparation of potions, and I would like Professor to help me clear them up." Noel wrote an article he wrote in his diary many years ago about "Different Medicinal Ingredients in the Process of Preparing Potions to Treat Boils" The Effect of Quality on Potion Effects" was handed to Professor Snape.

"I studied Potions for two years before I came to Hogwarts School. This is a paper I wrote. There are some questions in it that I would like to ask the professor to help me with." Noel looked at Snape's confused eyes and said. .

"I have never heard of any student being interested in Potions before going to school. Black, are you lying to me?" Snape looked at Noel very seriously.

His impression of the student in front of him had completely changed. If Noel Black couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, he would definitely teach him a profound lesson.

"Professor, when I was brewing the living hell decoction, I found that adding 13 drops of sleepy bean juice was more effective than adding 12 drops of sleepy bean juice. If you think I am lying, professor, you can go and verify it." Looking at Si Noel said slowly about Nap's scary face.

Noel looked at Snape with his pure, extremely confident eyes, not letting himself show any trace of panic.

Just like this, you look at me and I look at you.

The two were silent for nearly a minute before Snape finally broke the silence.

"I will read your paper. If your paper is useless, I will make sure you never attend my Potions class. Now you can get out."

Snape wasn't looking at Noel, and he found that he couldn't read Noel's thoughts through Legilimency. After putting aside the paper written by Noel in front of him, he ignored Noel.

Noel knew that the purpose of meeting Snape this time had been achieved, so he didn't say anything. He simply said goodbye and exited Professor Snape's office.

‘Sure enough, you used Legilimency to observe my thoughts. It's a pity that he didn't succeed. My mental barrier firmly prevented his mental invasion. Is this considered a form of Occlumency...'

'Judging from Snape's use of Legilimency on me, Dumbledore also used it on me when I was a child. I wonder if he understood my deepest thoughts... '

'Except for being a little panicked when I met Dumbledore for the first time without any preparation, from then on, I would make autosuggestions to myself on the day before Christmas...'

"I don't want to be that far away. Regardless of my status as a time traveler, I am also a special being. Anyway, Old Dengtou has always been very kind to me..."

Noel left Professor Snape's office and walked towards the common room, thinking about Snape and Dumbledore's Legilimency.

Noel has an astronomy class in the evening, so he needs to go back to the dormitory to pick up the telescope he bought in Diagon Alley.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Noel found that the third Malfoy brother was also there.

So he glanced at them and joked, "Are you three trying to play a prank on someone again?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Malfoy looked at Noel angrily, holding a letter in his hand.

"It has nothing to do with me at all. But you have to be very careful, because you may be unlucky one day and get into trouble with me again." Noel said slowly while looking for his telescope.

"Noel, did you write a letter to my mother? What did you say?" Malfoy ignored what Noel said and asked Noel.

Because he had just received a letter from his mother, which said that she was very happy that Malfoy could make friends so quickly and that he was also the son of her cousin who still did not know whether he was alive or dead.

In terms of seniority, Malfoy still has to call Noel his brother. Malfoy's mother had a very good relationship with Noel's father when they were young, and she hoped that Malfoy and Noel would be as close as brothers.

"Hey. Brother Malfoy, I just told my aunt who I have never met before that I met my cousin at Hogwarts and I will take good care of him."

Noel found his telescope, turned to look at Malfoy behind him, and used frivolous words to stimulate Malfoy.

"If you don't listen to my brother carefully, he will care for you with an iron fist full of affection."

"(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴Tip the table!" Malfoy's eyes were filled with nameless fire, but he had nowhere to vent it.

Facing Noel, Malfoy, who had always bullied others, felt painful inside.

He couldn't beat her, and before he could sue his parents, he found out that his mother had become the enemy.

"Stop inking there and get your telescope ready. Astronomy class starts in ten minutes. Don't be late!" Noel ignored Malfoy's rich facial expressions and walked out of the dormitory after finishing his words. .

……

In the Room of Requirement, Noel opened his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled. It took him two days to finally reconstruct Asolkin's first magic array diagram.

Now he wanted to verify whether the ability of this magic array diagram was as described on that page - allowing him to quickly identify the structure and composition of materials.

Noel took out a piece of dragon's blood from the ring and cast the magic circle in his mind on the dragon's blood. A few seconds later, Noel felt the message coming from the magic array.

“挪威棘背龙龙血：WBC:7、RBC:5、HB:130………H2O：55%………亚龙魔力：79、亚龙族基因：24%、未知因子：18种……”

Noel was a little surprised by the information from the magic array.

‘This magic array is really powerful. Putting aside the analysis of Dragon Ball’s extraordinary power, this is just a blood test + blood chemical composition analysis for it. ’

Looking at the dragon's blood in his hand, Noel paid more attention to the spiritualization of Asolkin's first magic circle.

The magic array that took so long to build has dissipated with the transmission of dragon blood information. Casting the magic circle this time not only consumed one-third of Noel's magic power, but also half of his mental power.

This is not to mention the magic and mental energy consumed in the previous construction, but it is worth it for a potions apprentice. Only if you understand and master the composition and characteristics of the materials you use can you fully exert its effectiveness.

‘Tuling the first Athol magic array into the dimension as your first spell slot? ’ Noel fell into deep thought...
