I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

The subscription ratio is insufficient, the waiting time or re-subscription can be seen, okay? "If I remember correctly, you have asked this three times, Ernie." Kong Yun closed the door to the dormitory: "Draco is indeed very He is good at potions and can answer almost all my questions. But," he paused and said seriously: "Don't you think Professor Snape is a very good potion master?"

He had not bothered the Potions professor with his questions before. Firstly, Draco was there to help him with tutoring. On the other hand, Kong Yun could see that Professor Snape was a very strict professor and rashly took some If you bother the other party with pediatric questions, even Kong Yun needs to carefully consider the feasibility of it.

As for why you suddenly changed your mind?

"To be honest, I was a little hesitant when I first thought about troublesome Professor Snape." Kong Yun confessed: "But when I went to find Tuantuan with you yesterday, I was suddenly convinced by myself."

Ernie&a;Justin:

"As long as you abide by the rules set by the other party and maintain the due respect, it is enough." Kong Yun said seriously: "Professor Snape is indeed very harsh, and when he criticizes students, his tone is also so sharp that it makes people laugh. Difficult to accept"

Ernie and Justin looked at each other silently, their expressions a little strange: "Didn't you say before that Professor Snape is very good?"

Kong Yun did not answer this question directly.

He thought for a while and asked: "Professor Snape did teach us a lot about potions, right?"

"Yes."

"Although he feels very scary, he has never really harmed any student. This is correct, right?"

Ernie nodded blankly, and Justin's heart moved, and he already vaguely understood what Kong Yun wanted to say.

"Since he has indeed taught us knowledge and has not really harmed any student, then what reason do I have to resist him?" Kong Yun smiled: "No one stipulates that a teacher's duty is to treat every student like a spring breeze. Just a student."

He finally concluded: "Professor Snape is a great potion master. He has the professional qualities to teach students, and he has also fulfilled his responsibility as a teacher. So I say, Professor Snape is very good. What's wrong with that?" Isn’t that right?”

Ernie nodded subconsciously: "No."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he reacted: "No, even if you say so," it's completely impossible for him not to be afraid of Professor Snape or something.

His expression was frightened and confused at the moment, and he felt like he was about to be surrounded by Kong Yun.

"Actually, I think what Yun said is right." Justin lowered his head and thought for a while, and actually agreed with Kong Yun's statement. He shrugged: "But Ernie, you don't have to be too entangled. Just like what Yun said, don't worry about it." It's enough to commit crimes in front of Professor Snape and maintain respect for the professor."

Ernie thought about it and thought it was the same. It was okay for him to respect Professor Snape. Hufflepuff had always been in awe of the Potions Professor, but just being close to him was enough. Qaq shivered just looking at him, okay?

Until he stood at the door of the Potions Professor's office, Ernie was still telling him worriedly: "Yun, you must come out alive." It was like Kong Yun was not going to consult the professor for knowledge, but rushing to the battlefield.

Kong Yun: "Well, I think I can."

"Then Justin and I will go back first." Ernie whispered: "It's really too gloomy here." Although he didn't enter the office at all, despite the unique gloom and coldness of the basement, it was It feels a little scary.

Kong Yun nodded.

He stood outside the door of the Potions Professor's office, took a deep breath, and knocked slowly but firmly on the door.After waiting for about three seconds, the door opened.Professor Snape, who was dressed the same as usual in class, soon appeared in front of him.

The wizard in pure black ran for a long time, seemingly because he had been immersed in the research and production of potions for a long time. His short black hair looked a bit messy, with an unmanaged greasy look. His eyes were pitch black of the same color, but not that Not as bright as black jade, but a color similar to the abyss.

Cold and empty.

For no reason, Kong Yun suddenly remembered the first time he met Draco on the Hogwarts Express. At that time, Draco gave him the same feeling, but the difference was that Si Professor Snape brought him a deeper feeling. Draco's calmness came from his emotional gloom, but Professor Snape's calmness came from the emptiness in his heart.

"I thought that the distinguished Mr. Kong was already smart enough not to ask his professor any questions," Snape said sarcastically after looking at him critically for a while.

Kong Yun was silent for a moment.

probably

Is it an illusion? Why does he have the feeling that the other party is dissatisfied with him for asking for help now?

In fact, Snape already regretted it as soon as he said this. Fortunately, the junior Hufflepuff didn't seem to think too much and only answered respectfully: "I just don't want to waste your time with some worthless questions." That’s all.”

The Potions Professor looked slightly relieved: "It's best this way."

Then he turned around and walked back to his desk.

Kong Yun knew that this meant that he should follow up. He followed Snape's footsteps and walked into his office. The atmosphere here seemed to be gloomier than outside. In the corners, in the cabinets, everything was neat or tidy. There are various potion materials scattered here and there, including a few plants, but more of them are animal specimens soaked in the solution.

As he gradually approached, Kong Yun saw at a glance the potion homework assignments piled as high as a hill on his desk. On the other side were the ones that had been corrected. The bright red "t" was clearly visible. He even saw the potion assignments at a glance. The name on the assignment was Ron Weasley.

He didn't look at the matter for even a second longer, because he had clearly found the impatient look on the Potions Professor's face. He cleared his throat without any further delay and got straight to the point: "Snei Professor Pu, I want to know about hypnotic potions."

Snape's face darkened: "If I remember correctly, I already talked about the preparation of sleeping potions in the Potions class last week." He was a little annoyed, and there was a hint of anger in his voice. Impatient, he scolded: "Valerian, Flobber caterpillar slime, lavender and standard ingredients. Or should I say, you need to write down the preparation method a hundred times before you can really remember it."

This room is located in the basement and is usually quiet. Now that he got angry, the atmosphere became even more tense.

Snape had expected that the boy would be embarrassed, flustered, or embarrassed by the rebuke in person, just like every student he had scolded in the past.

But he didn't.

The young man's expression was still respectful and polite, and his pure black eyes were sincere and modest: "Of course I will not forget the professor's teachings." He looked at the professor who criticized him calmly, and explained in a calm and patient tone: "But I Note that in the Magic Book: Book of Potions, there is another way to make the hypnotic agent."

"In Magic Potions and Potions, the ingredients of the Hypnotic Potion are valerian, Flobber caterpillar slime, lavender and the standard ingredients, Magic: Book of Potions, are replaced by narcissus petals, sleepy beans, wormwood and nettles. Standard ingredients and lavender, the medicinal properties of lavender.”

"There is not much difference in the effectiveness of the hypnotics prepared using these two methods. However, when I searched for information on herbal medicine, I found that the narcissus petals, mugwort and nettles used as substitutes all contain Poisonous herbs.”

Having said this, he paused and continued: "Draco told me that because the toxicity of these three herbs are mutually exclusive, they can cancel each other out during the process of making hypnotics, so they can reach the same standard as lavender. Ingredients have the same effect. But”

By the time the junior Hufflepuff explained to this point, Snape had almost understood what the other party's question was. With the young man's clear and calm voice, the anger in his heart gradually calmed down. Instead, he was concerned about the question itself. Curious.only

Draco Malfoy

The Potions Professor, who vaguely understood why the other party had not come over until now, narrowed his eyes and said in a commanding tone: "Continue."

Kong Yun hesitated for a while: "However, when I conducted experiments on mice, I found that the toxicity of the hypnotic agent was not completely offset."

As he spoke, he subconsciously raised his head to look at the professor's expression, and unexpectedly saw Snape's eyes looking like a monster.

"You also conducted experiments on mice." When did the timid and timid Hufflepuff dare to use living animals as experimental materials?

"Uh" Kong Yun was stunned by his question, "Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing." The astonishment only lasted for a moment. Snape quickly calmed down. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Just tell me the results of the experiment."

"I found that the hypnotic agent using lavender and the standard ingredients had no great effect on the mice except for its hypnotic effect, but the hypnotic agent using nettles, mugwort and narcissus petals had the same hypnotic effect as the previous one. In addition, the test subjects will have skin redness and swelling, and in severe cases, symptoms may appear like burns."

"Considering the difference between the human body and mice, if it is used on humans, there may not be obvious side effects, but what is certain is that it will cause harm to the human body. In other words, the toxicity of the herbal medicine has not been affected. eliminate."

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

Ernie's voice was tense and even tinged with obvious panic.Realizing this, Kong Yun turned his head to look at him, with confusion in his eyes.
