Chapter 45 Potions Assistant

Christmas is coming.One morning in mid-December, Lane woke up early as usual and found that the surrounding area was covered with several feet of snow and the lake was covered with hard ice.

White snow covered the entire Hogwarts, and the little wizards were playing happily in the snow. However, the Weasley twins were punished because they enchanted several snowballs and made them chase Quirrell everywhere. Hit behind his turban.Several owls flew through the windy and snowy sky to deliver the mail. After experiencing a lot of hardships, they had to regain their strength under Hagrid's care before they could continue to take off.

It has been a week since the unexpected incident in the Quidditch match. During this period, except for Filch's inspections that became more frequent, there was basically no impact. The Scarecrow didn't know whether he was recovering from his injuries or brewing a new round. His conspiracy has been hiding in the Forbidden Forest and has never come out.

Ryan was thinking as he rushed to the underground classroom. Ryan had no classes this morning. However, some time ago, Ryan took the initiative to ask Snape to be his assistant. For some unknown reason, Snape actually accepted.Originally, Ryan just had the attitude of giving it a try. After all, being able to learn potions at close range from Snape would greatly improve Ryan's potion skills.

In this way, the newly promoted teaching assistant Ryan arrived at the underground classroom half an hour early, used magic to prepare all the things that should be prepared in advance, and then quietly looked through the notes that Snape threw to him. The notebook was very worn. , but it is full of content. When Ryan first got it, it was like finding a treasure. It contains many improvements to existing potions, and Ryan has been studying it recently.

After a while, the little lions of Gryffindor and the little snakes of Slytherin arrived in the classroom one after another. Obviously, under Snape's pressure, no one dared to step on the Potions class.

Although everyone was eagerly looking forward to the holiday, after passing through the drafty corridor, the extremely low temperature made everyone have no time to think about the holiday.The window glass of the classroom was rattled by the biting cold wind. The worst thing was that Professor Snape's classes were all held in the underground classroom. A cloud of white mist formed in front of them as soon as they breathed, so they had to get as close as possible to them. The sizzling cauldron.

"I really feel sorry for those people," said Draco Malfoy in the Potions class. "They had to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because their families didn't want them." Even though Ryan glared Draco Countless times, Draco still insisted on completing his own daily task: antagonizing Harry.

He looked at Harry as he spoke.Crabbe and Goyle chuckled.Harry was paying no attention to them as he weighed out pulverized lionfish vertebrae.Ryan glanced at Snape and frowned slightly, telling Ryan that it was time for him to take action.

"Draco, have you finished your potion?" Ryan walked up behind Draco quietly, "You are in the mood to talk to others when you are free."

The sudden voice made Draco jump. When Draco turned around and found that it was Ryan, he immediately relaxed, but it was considered as a matter of Ryan's sake that he did not continue to taunt Harry.Harry gave Ryan a look of thanks, and then continued to work on his potion.

Indeed, Harry didn't want to go back to Privet Drive for Christmas.Last week, Professor McGonagall came over to register the list of students staying at school for the holidays. Ryan and Hermione were both going home this holiday, and Harry signed it immediately.He didn't feel sorry for himself at all.This was quite possibly the best Christmas he'd ever had.Ron and his two twin brothers were also going to stay because the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit Charlie.

After Ryan finished talking about Draco, he walked to Neville again. Seeing Neville handling the materials cautiously, Ryan quietly guided Neville on the next steps to prevent the careless Neville from making mistakes.Perhaps Ryan was able to serve as an assistant coach because with Ryan's help, Neville's success rate increased a lot.

Of course, when Ryan was taking care of Neville, Ron and Seamus next to Harry were once again in trouble. Thanks to Seamus' talent, even Ryan personally guided Seamus to do it. In the end, Seamus Mo's pot of potion will still explode.Now even Snape doesn't care about Seamus, it's completely hopeless, let alone Ryan.

Just as Neville finished his potion, the lesson was almost over.Harry and Ron said hello to Ryan and left the underground classroom. When they walked outside the door, they discovered that the corridor in front was blocked by a large fir tree.Harry saw the two big feet sticking out from the bottom of the tree, and heard the loud whirring sound. They knew that what was behind the tree must be a sea turtle.

"Hey, Hagrid, do you need any help?" Ron asked, sticking his head through the branches.

"No, I can do it, thank you, Ron." Hagrid replied gruffly.

"Can you move out of the way?" Malfoy's cold, drawled voice came from behind them. "Do you want to earn some pocket money? Weasley, I guess you hope to guard the hunting grounds after graduating from Hogwarts. Compared with your original home, Hagrid's hut must be like It’s a palace.”

Without Ryan's suppression, Draco's venomous tongue was in full force when he met Harry and Ron, and he kept taunting Ron.

After hearing these words, Ron's face turned red, and even his nose was red. Ron rushed directly towards Malfoy. Unfortunately, just at this moment, Snape appeared on the stairs.

"Weasley" Snape's gloomy voice came, and Ron and Harry couldn't help but tremble.

Ron reluctantly let go of Malfoy's clothes.

"Someone messed with him first, Professor Snape." Hagrid stretched out his big, shaggy head from behind the tree and said, "Malfoy just insulted his family."

"No matter what, hitting someone is against Hogwarts rules, Hagrid." Snape said in a smooth voice, "Gryffindor has been deducted five points, Weasley, you should feel lucky , no more deductions. Okay, let’s go, all of you.”

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle squeezed roughly past the tree, knocking needles everywhere.While still smiling proudly.

"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said through gritted teeth, looking at Malfoy's back. "One day, I'm going to teach him a lesson."

"I really hate those two," said Harry, "Malfoy and Snape."

"Okay, be happy, it's almost Christmas." Hagrid said, "Guess what, come with me to the restaurant to see it. It's really wonderful."
