The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Hufflepuff couldn't sit still, why did they finally get the answer right and only get 1 point?But they didn't dare to question Professor Snape, so they could only look at the showy Sissy with resentment.

From the corner of her eye, Sissy saw that it wasn't just the other academy that had objections. Irene was also staring at her rather unconvinced, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Isn't it just to answer a question? Originally, I couldn't answer you better than you, but now that you can't answer it, I would like to add that you have such a big opinion."

Sissy muttered in her heart, she was already displeased at being looked at by them, but now she just stared back without showing any weakness.

The opponent had a large number of people, but fortunately Ravenclaw was given extra points because of her, and many people were also proud of it, and their momentum completely overwhelmed the opponent.

Snape snorted coldly, and said unhurriedly: "Why, some people are not convinced? Before my class, some people didn't even open the cover of the textbook.

After asking the first few questions, I think many people couldn't answer them. When asking questions, they wanted to dig a hole with their toes, but now they are more energetic? "

The booing people lowered their heads knowingly, no matter how restless they are, points will be deducted from their heads.

"Why add 5 points? Only those who have read this year's textbook will understand that lovage is not mentioned in the textbook at all-and what I want to tell you is that the course of Potions is far from your casual attitude. Can learn well."

Sissy was also very happy to be praised in a disguised form, but Professor Snape's last sentence also awakened her, potion is indeed much more difficult than imagined.

The entire collection of potions books in the library showed this point even more—even if the textbooks are memorized backwards, they can only learn the most superficial surface by the time they graduate from the seventh grade.

In the first class, Snape didn't allow them to operate it. In his words - a group of clumsy guys who didn't even know the purpose of the equipment. Could it be called a cauldron in their hands?It's clearly a ticking time bomb!

Sissy agrees with this point. She has seen a lot of things like fires, frying pans, and leakage of dangerous liquids in the laboratory.Besides, she herself was an accident maker, so she really shouldn't laugh at her half-hearted.

In the following time, Snape described in detail the characteristics and basic operations of various instruments. His speech was very fast, but the introduction was quite detailed, and many of them were experiences that could not appear in books.

Although these instruments are similar to those used in chemical experiments, Sissy has still grasped some key differences, which are very helpful in ensuring the accuracy of the experiments.

On the podium, Snape was eloquent. Normally he was taciturn, but when it came to potions, he could dissect dozens of precautions in the production process of a simple potion.

The students in the audience were writing so hard that they almost ran out of copies, but no one had time to write down so many things.

Sissy and her dormmates discussed the division of labor and cooperated, which reduced the burden to nearly a quarter of the original one. Anyway, they could organize and synthesize the notes when they arrived in the dormitory.

Finally, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the students were relieved, and Snape had no intention of procrastinating. He dropped a few words about the preparation requirements for the next class, and left with the black robe rolled up behind him like the wind.

The afternoon is relatively free, and there are no other arrangements after Potions class.The teachers who just started school are also very face-saving, and the amount of after-school homework left is small and simple, and Sissy takes a quarter of an hour to finish all of them.

"Hey, the children here are just happy. When I was in the first grade of elementary school, because I enrolled in a bilingual school, the daily homework for each subject has never been less than two hours since I entered school."

Thinking of this, Qianqian shook her head, she was in tears when talking about Datianchao's workload.

She didn't intend to waste the rest of the time, originally she also thought that she would be quite good if she previewed the entire textbook before the start of school, but Snape's reaction seemed to be that she was satisfied with her performance and could meet the standard in his mind That's all.

"No, I have more than ten years of study than those little kids, how can I have the same standard as them." The more Sissy thought about it, the more she felt that her hard work in the past was not in vain, and walked quickly towards the library.

It was completely different from when the school started. Although the library was quiet, there were quite a few people who came to read.Except for the restricted section, all Hogwarts students can borrow books freely, and the bookshelves are not strictly divided into grade groups.

Sissy had carefully read "Identification and Characteristics of Herbs" and "Encyclopedia of Toadstools" in the potion books I borrowed a few days ago, and had memorized a lot of content in her mind.

The main problem lies in the other book "Unknown Combination Principles of Potions" that I borrowed before. This book is quite rich in content, but for a beginner like Sissy, many of the materials mentioned in it are not herbal. Still little is known.

You should know that the commonly used materials for making potions can be roughly divided into the following four types:

1. Animals, insects and their extracts;

2. Ore;

3. Medicinal herbs and their extracts;

4. Mushrooms (mushrooms).

Sissi has never read any books on animals and minerals, which makes her often feel at a loss when learning the principle of collocation.

According to the regulations, five books can be borrowed at the same time at a time, and the return period is 5 days.

The reminder of the time limit for borrowing is simple and clear. There is a color block on the spine of each book, which will be displayed according to the remaining time: green-yellow-red, three different reminder colors.

Seeing its color change from green to yellow, it means that the remaining loan time is less than two-thirds.Qian Qian was very anxious. The school stipulated that the same book should not be borrowed consecutively. Such a rule was also to speed up the circulation of books, and it was out of good intentions.

But this also means that if it is not done this month, there will be no chance to borrow it next month, and once it is put back, it is very likely to be borrowed by others. I don't know when the next time I can see it will be.

Sissy is not willing to let such an opportunity go away. She plans to borrow two more books that introduce animal and ore-based potion ingredients. After reading them quickly, she will come back to learn the principle of combination.

The potion book area is still the same, with dark purple light shining everywhere, showing a unique mystery.

The students walked among the bookshelves that were as high as two people, and Sissy was surprised to see several familiar faces among them—they had just met during the potions class in the afternoon.

The seniors looked down at them curiously. A large number of first-year students appeared in the potion book area, which was not common at ordinary times.

"This year's first grade is not easy. If it wasn't for getting an A at the end of the semester, I would never have read the potion book." They discussed in a low voice.

Someone also snorted softly and sneered contemptuously, "A group of brats who can't hold their wands steadily, they're just here to join in the fun, don't take away the book I want and blow your nose."

Qianqian pricked up her ears and listened to a few words, feeling disdainful in her heart: You guys are all younger brothers in my eyes, but they are just underage babies.

Helplessly, now that I look like an 11-year-old doll, I can only hide in my heart and curse secretly, but I still have to smile when I raise my head and say:

"Big brother, can you help me get the book? The one with the green cover on the third grid."
