"What do I get if I add daffodil root powder to a wormwood infusion?"

In the familiar potions classroom, with indescribable complex emotions, he asked this question facing those familiar green eyes.

He had mixed feelings in his heart, but his expression was still cold and almost indifferent. No one could see the sadness hidden in his eyes.

He saw Potter's confused eyes, which made him realize clearly that this was her son, not her. She would not show such eyes. She had always been confident and charming.

And except for his green eyes, he looked exactly like another Potter, which made his attitude toward him somewhat aggressive.

Just when he thought he couldn't answer, he finally gave the answer.

He knew the answer, and he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Maybe Potter would never understand the meaning of the words, just like the apology he would never have the chance to say.

"The lilies fell into bitter sorrow, and I regretted your mother's death, and have struggled in the abyss of hell ever since."

"Well," Snape said calmly, "it seems that Potter had a good time reading before school started."

He seemed to be dissatisfied with the result, and reluctantly said something that seemed to be a compliment. Then he turned his eyes and looked at Bai Lu with a cold, snake-like gaze.

"So, Lubai, answer me, what herbs have powerful healing and repairing properties?"

He had discovered a long time ago that before Potter even spoke the answer, he subconsciously looked over here. Besides Lu Bai, no one else sitting here was familiar with Potter.

Ever since he saw this oriental girl with green eyes and a close relationship with Potter at the sorting ceremony, he had secretly investigated and found out that she was Potter's cousin. They had lived together at the Dursley's since childhood. .

Although he felt that there was no way for her to deliver the answer to Potter under his nose, he had an inexplicable intuition that it must be related to her, so his question came up.

When Bai Lu heard the question, she stood up subconsciously. Then she remembered that Harry didn't have to stand up to answer the question just now.

Because of her sudden move, everyone in the classroom focused their attention on her. If it had been anyone else, it would have been a social death scene.

But who is Bai Lu? She is someone who is used to seeing big scenes. For this small scene, she is completely worthy.

She looked at Snape firmly and said in a clear voice, "It's Bai Xian, sir."

She paused and continued: "Shallow wounds can be healed by eating them raw."

"If I asked you to give me a potion thickener, what would you give me?"

Without thinking, she replied: "I'll give you Flobber caterpillar slime."

Next, Snape asked several more questions, and Bai Lu answered them all fluently.

Snape stared at Bai Lu closely to prevent her from making small moves, but what he didn't expect was that she almost answered every question in seconds, and even extended to other knowledge points.

"What are the ingredients for swelling potion?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Snape felt a little regretful. This question was a bit over the top. This was potion making that was only learned in the third grade. He felt vaguely regretful. She probably couldn't answer it.

Bai Lu lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Wasn't the swelling potion the content of the potions lesson just now?

This question was over the top. Was the professor deliberately trying to embarrass her?

As for its ingredients...

She recalled the materials she had seen before, raised her head and answered confidently: "The ingredients of the swelling potion are bat spleen, dried nettles and pufferfish eyes."

All correct, which gave him an unexpected answer.

The pair of green eyes looking at him exuded a familiar light, which made him feel a little dazed. He was speechless for a long time, and the entire classroom fell into silence for an instant.

Snape did not continue to ask the next question. Bai Lu felt that he should have asked the question almost, and reminded the professor who was still in a trance, "Sir, can I sit down?"

Snape still had an indifferent expression and nodded slightly, "Sit down."

Potions class continued, with Snape dividing them into pairs and instructing them to mix a simple potion to cure boils.

Bai Lu and Draco were divided into a group. He skillfully used various tools for making potions. He said to Bai Lu with some pride: "I have a special potion laboratory at home. I often make some potions at home." .”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Lu with bright eyes, not wanting to be praised too much.

Because she has an arrogant junior brother, Bai Lu has always been submissive, so she replied casually: "Yeah, very awesome."

Draco couldn't help but smile when he got the answer he wanted. He became more serious and careful in the next operation, striving for perfection.

Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching them weigh dry nettles and crush snake fangs. Almost all the students were criticized except Draco.

The operation steps in the book are one thing, but the actual operation is another thing. It is obvious that Bai Lu and Draco are a team, but he can pick out some of Bai Lu's small mistakes.

Just as Snape was showing everyone how perfectly Draco cooked the tentacled slugs, a plume of acidic green smoke suddenly erupted from the dungeon and a loud hissing sound was heard.

Neville had somehow burned Seamus' cauldron into a crooked lump, and the potion in the cauldron spilled onto the stone floor, burning holes in the students' shoes.

Within seconds, the entire class was on their stools, and when the cauldron was knocked over, Neville was soaked in the potion. His arms and legs were covered in red and swollen boils, and he was screaming in pain.

"Idiot!" Snape growled, wielding his wand and sweeping away the potion on the ground.

"I suppose you put the porcupine quills in the cauldron without removing it from the fire, did you?"

Neville sobbed and cried, and boils suddenly appeared on his nose.

"Get him to the hospital up there," Snape snapped at Seamus.

Then he moved around Harry and Ron, who were working right next to Neville.

"Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add porcupine quills? Do you think he made a mistake because you are smart? Gryffindor lost a point because of you."

This was so unfair, and just as Harry was about to defend himself, Ron kicked him from behind the cauldron.

"Don't be ridiculous," he whispered, "I heard Snape is very unreasonable."

An hour later, the Potions class finally ended. When Bai Lu packed up her utensils and textbooks and came to find Harry, she saw that he was as depressed as a withered flower.

"Cheer up," Ron said. "At least you answered all the questions Snape asked. He was just deliberately finding fault with you later."

Hearing what Ron said, Harry glanced at Bai Lu guiltily. He couldn't tell Ron that he knew the answer because of Bai Lu's help.

After this interruption, Harry felt better. He remembered his agreement with Hagrid and said to Ron and Bai Lu, "Do you want to go find Hagrid with me?"
