I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.

"So, does this prove that there is no balance between the herbs in the hypnotic potion, nettles, mugwort and narcissus petals?"

Snape was really surprised now.

The preparation of hypnotic potions is the content of second-year potions. The second production method mentioned by Kong Yun is not included in the Hogwarts potions textbook because of its side effects. Some of the principles involved in the two production methods are content that only third-year Potions students can formally learn.

It is nothing to preview the high-grade potions textbook in advance, and it is nothing surprising to find the second formula in extracurricular books. Most students who study seriously can almost do this.

What really surprised Snape was that Kong Yun not only accomplished the above two points, he even put into practice in order to more accurately compare two hypnotic potions with different production materials.

If the person who did this was a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw, Snape might think it was okay. At most, he had a general idea that not all students in this class were idiots.But Hufflepuff

"When did Hufflepuff, who has always been friendly, start experimenting with living animals?"

He made a habitual sarcastic comment, but it was undeniable that Snape was in a good mood at the moment. A talented student who respected his teachers was still very likable, especially when he was correcting potions homework. , after changing it to the point where I had some doubts about the students’ IQ.

"It's not too stupid." Snape said lightly. Perhaps only Slytherin students would understand that for Dean Slytherin, this is the best that a non-Slytherin student can get. Rated. "Then have you ever thought about why the second production method is not included in the textbook?"

"why"

The Potions Professor snorted coldly and did not answer the question. He stared closely at the confused boy in front of him and unexpectedly asked a question: "If you were asked to improve this formula, how would you change it?"

This question is not difficult to answer. Kong Yun said without hesitation: "Use the balance between herbs to offset the toxicity of hypnotic drugs."

"Stupid" Snape glared at him and reprimanded him unceremoniously: "When making potions, you need to consider not only the effect, but also the cost. When there is already a hypnotic formula without side effects, how can we improve it again?" A hypnotic formula, what’s the point?”

Kong Yun was stunned.

His understanding was not bad. When Snape mentioned this, Kong Yun immediately understood what he meant. However, he hesitated for a while and asked tentatively: "Professor Snape, what do you mean? Let those who are sleeping return to sleep, and those who are hypnotized return to hypnosis?”

Snape snorted, noncommittal.

Indeed, from a production point of view, lavender-based hypnotic potions are milder and more suitable for people who have difficulty sleeping. It is best to call them "sleeping pills".

The toxicity of the hypnotic potion, which is based on narcissus petals, nettles and mugwort, has not been suppressed. Instead, the potion making process has been further strengthened, even though there is already a "sleeping agent".Rather than finding ways to counteract the toxicity of the drug, it is better to expand its toxicity and turn it into a true "hypnotic agent" for consciousness.

What Kong Yun didn't know was that while he was lowering his head and thinking, his potion professor was staring at him closely with a look that was close to scrutiny.

In fact, Snape couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.

It's rare to meet a student with some talent in potions. It's a pity that even if he is not a Slytherin, even a Ravenclaw is better than a Hufflepuff.

Just like magic is divided into ordinary magic and dark magic, there are also many types of potions, some are therapeutic, and of course there are also dangerous and extremely offensive ones.But just like Gryffindor and Hufflepuff are generally averse to dark magic, people in the two houses are also not very accepting of this kind of potion that is only designed to harm others, let alone He said he took the initiative to research it.

On the contrary, Slytherin and Ravenclaw, one is obsessed with power and the other is obsessed with knowledge, and accept this well.

Although it's okay to be a Hufflepuff, thinking about it this way, I always feel a bit unspeakably regretful.

Just when Snape was ready to receive a standard Hufflepuff answer, the boy suddenly stood up straight and bowed to him seriously.

"Thank you very much for your guidance." Kong Yun said solemnly: "I understand what you mean."

Snape's heart moved slightly, but there was no expression on his face: "Tell me about it."

"What I'm thinking about is whether we can consider adding ingredients such as lovage or scurvy." Kong Yun said naturally: "Both lovage and scurvy have the effect of confusing the brain. I think, if Mix it into the sleeping potion,

There may be unexpected gains, but not necessarily. "

At this point, the young man paused, his eyes lit up with anticipation: "If, I mean, after I make the finished product, can Professor Snape help me take a look?"

It was rare for someone to look at him with such eyes, and Snape couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He subconsciously wanted to lower his face and scold him, widening the invisible distance to the extent he was used to, but when his eyes touched the sincere respect in the other person's eyes, he felt a little awkward. I couldn't say anything for some reason.

"I don't have time to look at the crap you made."

The Potions Professor's voice was still cold, but the junior Hufflepuff seemed to understand a certain meaning of agreement. He suddenly smiled and said firmly: "I won't let you down."

The door of the office closed silently, and the surrounding environment fell into silence again. Snape returned to his desk alone and continued to correct homework. He glanced at the messy papers and glanced at the name column.

Harry Potter.

This knowledge made the rare arc of the Potions Professor's lips curve deeper. He raised his eyebrows, in a happy mood, and wrote a bright red "t" without hesitation.

With the thought "Professor Snape is really good", Kong Yun walked out of the Potions Professor's office in a happy mood.Perhaps it was because of the proximity to the Slytherin common room. As soon as he left the office door, he saw several students with green snake-shaped badges on their chests.

"How come Hufflepuff is here? Isn't their common room up there?"

"Wait a minute, I remember that the direction he came from was not only Professor Snape's office, wasn't he just coming out of Professor Snape's office?"

"It's true that there are still people who can come out of Professor Snape's office alive."

"What is this? Is it true or false? You will know if you ask him."

The Slytherins did not deliberately lower their voices. Kong Yun easily heard their discussions. He frowned slightly. Although he was not used to always being the focus of other people's discussions, he did There was nothing to say, so he simply pretended not to hear anything and walked down the stairs towards the Hufflepuff common room.

He planned to turn a blind eye, but some people were obviously unwilling to let him go.

"Hey, I asked you something."

He could hear the voice of an unknown Slytherin behind him, with the same condescending and undisguised disdain as those who spoke of him in private.

In the Slytherin dormitory, Draco put down the letter he had been reading for an unknown amount of time and lowered his head slightly. He seemed to be staring at the letter on the table, or simply looking at something else through the letter. His expression was obscure and incomprehensible.

Being in Hogwarts, Draco had no chance or way to truly explore Kong Yun's identity, but in the name of curiosity, it was only a matter of words to ask his father to investigate.

The results of the investigation were very smooth, because both the Kong family and the Chinese magic world, although they were low-key and hidden, did not deliberately hide from the world, and the final results did not seem to be much different from what he had guessed.

At the beginning, Draco never understood why this Hufflepuff from the East could remain calm and motionless when faced with the slanders openly and secretly made by rumors and rumors.For a child who is only 12 years old, can he really not care about the opinions of outsiders?

Many Hogwarts students interpreted Kong Yun's gentle concession as proof that he was cowardly and did not dare to cause trouble.Draco felt this way at first, but after what happened with Raymond, he began to realize that this little Eastern wizard was not as harmless as he seemed.

Kong Yun is indeed very simple.

But this kind of simplicity is not the kind of simplicity that is ignorant of the world. He has a gentle and friendly temperament and does not like to argue with others. The slander and insults privately received by others never seem to make him angry.

Draco didn't understand why at first, but now he could vaguely understand Kong Yun's thoughts.

It's not that he doesn't care, but the family education he has received since childhood has given him humility and tolerance far beyond his peers. Similarly, it is the confidence from his family and his own strength that makes him uninterested and short-sighted. Do more entanglement.

This is the real reason why Kong Yun laughed it off when faced with the ridicule and belittlement of others.

If you were an eagle soaring in the sky, would you care about the cry of a reptile under your feet?

The junior Hufflepuff stopped.

He turned around and looked at the Slytherin whom he could not name, as if he was not aware of the malice in the other person's words. There was still a slight smile on the young man's face, and his tone was gentle as usual: "Yes. What's the matter?"
