I recite the Analects of Confucius at Hogwarts

The subscription ratio is insufficient, the waiting time or re-subscription can be seen, okay?

In the basement of Hogwarts, the potions classroom located underground was equally quiet today. In the classroom of the University of Nottingham, only the clear voice of the young man could be heard slowly and unhurriedly.

The little badgers blinked, looking a little confused.

The Lafenclaws looked at Hufflepuff standing there in confusion, answering questions calmly and rigorously, with equally confused expressions.What's more, when he was about to flip through the potion textbook in his hand, he stopped directly on the side with the words "Bai Xian" written on it:

White Fresh: A powerful healing and restorative herb that can heal superficial wounds when eaten raw.

And then that's it, it's over

This is different from what is said in the book qaq

They listened blankly as the young man who got up explained the medicinal properties and effects of Bai Xian in detail. Of course, the well-read Ravenclaws had also read information about Bai Xian in books other than textbooks. However, The details the other party told were far more comprehensive than what they read.

After hearing this, the little eagles who could no longer tell whether the other party's words were right or wrong simply turned their heads, mustered up their courage, and looked at the person in this classroom who was most qualified to make a judgment.

Snape raised his eyebrows slightly, his mood a little subtle.

Of course he could tell the truth from Kong Yun's words, but that was why he was a little surprised. The question he could read in the book was of course a simple question, but what surprised him was that the famous person in front of him Chipachi was actually able to answer this question "completely" in a truly conscious way.

As early as a week ago, Snape had been warned by Dumbledore: If Kong Yun came to him to ask questions, he hoped that he could answer the other party's questions as much as possible.

At that time, Snape didn't take it seriously. He didn't think that a Hufflepuff would have the courage to go to the office to ask him questions in private. In fact, let alone Hufflepuff, none of the Slytherins had such courage.

And in fact it is.

At least, in the recent period, many professors have talked about this little wizard from the East. Few professors will hate studious students, especially the academic questions raised by them in private are not just simple questions in their heads, but When you really think about the issues with value.

Even the head of Gryffindor, who was always fair and strict and rarely praised a certain student, had a look of approval on his face when he talked about this student.

It was hard to tell whether he had some rebellious psychology, but after learning that the other party searched for the professors at Hogwarts, but missed him, Snape did feel a little slightly unhappy at this moment.

But anyway

"It's barely passable." The Potions Professor's voice was still cold, and perhaps a little bit unwilling: "Hufflepuff plus five points."

Ravenclaw: Huh

Hufflepuff: Hey hey hey

After this class, as soon as Kong Yun returned to the Hufflepuff common room, he was surrounded by the little badgers who quickly learned the news. When he raised his head, he was met with a series of starry eyes: "Kong, You are amazing”

Kong Yun: Ah

"Hufflepuffs rarely get extra points in Potions," Ernie said.In fact, except for Slytherin, it is not easy for any other house to get extra points in Potions class.

As for Gryffindor, for the little lions, it is already quite good to be able to guarantee that no points will be deducted due to mistakes.

"Why?" Kong Yun was a little confused: "I heard that Professor Snape is a very nice person."

The expressions of the students present suddenly became a little stiff. Ernie, who knew the inside story, silently glanced at his room with a sad expression.

As early as a day ago, Ernie discovered that due to some stimulation, his dear roommate seemed to love studying more than before.

In fact, even earlier, Ernie and Justin discovered that during all the time when there were no classes, when they could not find their roommates, generally speaking, at this time, they only needed to go to the common room and take a look. , or go to the library to find the person they are looking for.

But now it's a little different.

Kong Yun was obviously no longer satisfied with studying silently by himself. He began to maximize the use of every resource around him to ask higher-level Hufflepuff seniors and ask for help from the professors corresponding to each subject. He had some friends from other colleges.

Forget about Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, the little badgers found it a little unbelievable that there were actually many students from Slytherin among them.

Since the library is not suitable for discussing issues, and the lounges of each college prohibit students from other colleges from entering, Kong Yun, whose whereabouts were originally relatively stable, became completely elusive: maybe in Gryffindor Tower and Know-It-All. The lady discusses homework, or talks to Lafenclaw about the history of magic in the Astronomy Tower.

As for "I heard that Professor Snape is quite nice", I'm afraid you didn't listen to some Slytherin.

Justin apparently thought so too.

Hufflepuff is not as absolutely hostile to Slytherin as Gryffindor, but it has always maintained a certain distance. In the final analysis, Hufflepuff, who has a docile temperament and mostly mixed races, values ​​strength and Pure-blooded Slytherins are not from the same world after all.

Ernie had the intention to warn his little friend to keep a distance from the Slytherin snakes, but he secretly pulled Justin back. The latter shook his head at him and told him in a mouthful of words: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

He didn't notice the private exchanges between his friends. Until they returned to the common room, Kong Yun was still thinking about academic issues.

Although Kong Yun had received the right from President Dumbledore to "ask for help from any professor" from the beginning, Kong Yun did not use it at the beginning.Most of the problems he encountered in his studies had corresponding books and answers from seniors he knew or didn't know.

Some of the remaining problems that troubled him were solved through his own thinking and experiments.

The few remaining questions that had to be asked to the professors were naturally the more valuable ones.

Of course Kong Yun had no intention of letting go of the Potions Professor. The fear of others was not enough to be a reason for him to hold back.

As he flipped through the notes he had taken, he thought distressedly: "If I ask Professor Snape these questions, I will probably get scolded."

So, as expected, it would be better to ask Draco first.

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 young man in front of him.

Qi Ran asked a question: "If you were asked to improve this recipe, 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 If you mix it into a hypnotic potion, you may get unexpected results, but I don't know."

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?"

"I like Hufflepuff very much. The environment of the dormitory is very good. Professor Sprout has placed many interesting plants in the lounge. During the day, the sun shines in through the windows and fills the entire lounge."

There were no classes on Sunday afternoon, and Kong Yun rarely read.He sat on a wooden chair near the window and wrote a letter home to send to his parents.

After all, it is a long way from England to China, so sending a letter is not an easy task. Kong Yun did not deliberately use literary words, and most of what he wrote was trivial and trivial.
