Together [HP]

The first day of life was very ordinary, but for most Hogwarts students, they didn't need to live an exciting life. The exciting life of the last school year was enough for them to digest for a long time.

Hermione Granger, the know-it-all of Gryffindor, this name is no stranger to Ginny Weasley and Luna, but they have never slept with Hermione one class.So during their first Transfiguration class, when Hermione's arm was raised like a pole before the new professor finished asking questions, the new seventh graders really understood what is meant by ' Jack of all trades'.

Professor Arnold has probably never seen such an excellent student. In the first Transfiguration class, Hermione won 30 points from him.The Gryffindor students looked revered, while the students from the other three houses could only sigh.It seems that this school year has had a lot of trouble trying to prevent Gryffindor from winning the House Cup.

At this time, many Slytherin students began to complain. If Jacqueline was not a professor but a student now, all the 30 points would be added to Slytherin.

After a hasty lunch, Hermione walked through the big funnel representing the four colleges with her big schoolbag on her back, and when she was about to go down to the basement to go to Potions class, she saw Jacqueline standing in front of the funnel.

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, said nothing, just smiled playfully.

Hermione looked at the students and professors hurrying around, she walked up to Jacqueline and stood with her, looking at the big funnel in front of her, there were already a lot of rubies in the funnel of Gryffindor .

"It seems that you got a lot of marks in the first two classes, Miss Granger." Jacqueline looked at the bare Slytherin funnel in front of her, without any anger.

"That's right!" Hermione said briskly, "There is no one else rushing to tell me the answer in class now." Hermione smiled happily and looked at Jacqueline, "Why, what for Gryffindor?" Do you feel bad about beating Slytherin?"

"No." Jacqueline said quite resolutely, she turned her face to look at Hermione who was looking at her curiously, and said slowly, "I'm just thinking, how many professors still don't like my daughter friend."

Hermione's face was a little red, she looked around secretly, and when she was sure no one was looking at them, she stretched out her hand and gently squeezed Jacqueline's palm, "I hope your first class will be very successful , Jacqueline. Don't worry, I won't let Slytherin lose too badly."

Jacqueline squeezed Hermione's hand tightly behind her back, preventing Hermione from moving her hand. "We don't need your help, Miss Granger." Jacqueline rubbed the back of Hermione's hand lightly with her thumb, and Hermione couldn't help laughing, "Besides, Slytherins don't necessarily lose. Maybe in my class, you Gryffindors are too naughty, so I will deduct all the points you have won."

Hermione laughed, and the passing students turned their heads to look at them, "No, you won't, Jacqueline." Hermione said confidently.

"That's not necessarily true." Jacqueline raised her eyebrows and shook her head. "After all, we Slytherins can do whatever it takes to win."

"But you won't do that." Hermione said very firmly, she looked around again, and kissed Jacqueline quickly, "I really have to go, or the next section of Slughorn I'm going to be late for the Professor's Potions class. I'll meet you in the library after dinner, shall I? I'm sure Professor Slughorn has a bunch of papers for me."

Jacqueline pursed her lips noncommittally, Hermione waved to her, and walked downstairs quickly.

"Late, paper?" Jacqueline's mouth curled into a smile. "I don't think so, Miss Granger."

The Potions classroom was as cold and gloomy as ever, and there was a long queue outside the classroom as usual.Many people's faces are a little pale, either they haven't transitioned well from the joy of summer vacation, or it's because the professors of various subjects have assigned them a lot of homework that is enough for them to spend the night in the library.

"I hope Professor Slughorn won't do that." Ginny said expectantly. "He treated us very well last school year. Sometimes he even gave us some potions to make us skip classes."

"But that's not right." Hermione frowned. "We're here to learn."

"Hermione, even you wouldn't want to go to the Carrows' class," Ginny said.

The door of the Potions classroom opened quickly, and the students walked in one after another.Hermione walked towards the front row out of habit.Unlike when Hermione was in sixth grade, there were no three burning cauldrons on the front podium this time.In fact, the layout of the classroom was more like Professor Snape's.Both sides of the classroom are full of bottles and cans.

A second after the class bell rang, the classroom door opened again, and many people turned their heads. They all thought that Professor Slughorn walked in and was about to laugh at his big belly, but, The person who walked in was not Professor Slughorn, her blond hair was particularly conspicuous in this classroom.

Many students, including Hermione, were dumbfounded; they never thought their professor would be Jacqueline.Jacqueline raised her head high, her black robe billowing, strode up to the podium, then turned around to look at the students below.

A second passed.

Two seconds passed.

Then the classroom roared with laughter.Hermione didn't smile, she sat up straight as she always did with every professor.

Many Gryffindors looked between Jacqueline and Hermione, and then they laughed even louder.

Jacqueline crossed her arms and looked down blankly, her eyes were cold.

"Is it funny?" Jacqueline asked softly. In an instant, everyone seemed to be grabbed by the throat at the same time. Their laughter stopped abruptly. They opened their mouths wide and looked at the young professor on the podium.

"I know many of you know me." Jacqueline leaned on the podium, her eyes slowly swept across the faces of the students below, her tone was cold and calm, she glanced at Hermione, "some people It can even be said to be very familiar, but in case anyone doesn't know, I'm Jacqueline Graham, Medal of Merlin [-]st class, and your Potions professor this school year."

"A potion master once told me that the beauty of potions lies in comprehending, experiencing, and observing. Slowly simmer the cauldron and watch the white smoke rising slowly with the fragrance."

Jacqueline paused for a moment, and finally looked at Hermione in the first row, "You are all seventh graders now, and you chose to take Potions because you know that this class is important to your future. It is very important. So you guys, it is best to keep in mind that potion is a very precise and strict subject, and the slightest difference will make the result very different."

Jacqueline's eyes swept over the faces of the students under the podium again. This time, the whole class was silent, and everyone sat upright, although they didn't understand why this was the one they were familiar with. People who are also students, the sense of oppression brought to them is almost the same as that of Professor Snape.

"I saw that many of you took out your books." Jacqueline said slowly. After hearing this sentence, some people secretly touched the textbooks on their desks, trying to stuff them Go back to your schoolbag.But Hermione still didn't move.

"That's very good." Jacqueline looked at Hermione, showing a faint smile, "But, I hope that before you enter this classroom, you have already read this book like Miss Hermione Granger. A book, ready for the class, not just sitting on the desk for a show."

"Obtaining the NEWT certificate does not prove that you know how to make potions. It only proves that you are better than those fools who can't even make potions according to books."

"Potions, the most important thing is to understand and use medicinal materials. I won't waste time teaching you how to make an existing potion. If you don't even know this, get out of this classroom as soon as possible."

Jacqueline looked around, but no one moved. "What I want to teach you is how to distinguish, in a potion, the function of each medicinal material, which one or two medicinal materials are the most core, which one is dispensable, and which one's existence is important. In order to make the core medicinal materials work better."

"Now, let's have a try." Jacqueline clasped her hands together, "Polyjuice Potion, its ingredients, how to make it, for some of you," Jacqueline watched as Hermione chose Raising eyebrows, "It should be very familiar. Can anyone tell me what is the core medicinal material in this potion. Except..."

Jacqueline looked down, Hermione's hand was not raised as she imagined.In fact, Hermione also frowned, she was whispering about the method of making compound potion, she was familiar with it, but asking her to choose the most important one from those medicinal materials was a bit beyond the difficulty .

The other students were no better than Hermione, and they couldn't even remember how to make Polyjuice Potion, let alone name the most important ingredients.

Jacqueline looked at Hermione, Hermione's brow furrowed, her teeth biting her lower lip lightly.

"Just as I thought." Jacqueline sneered, "First of all, think about which medicinal materials are needed for the compound decoction? Among these medicinal materials, which ones have the ability to transform people? Is it the lacewing insects? ?"

Hermione frowned and shook her head slightly.

"Crude antimony, leeches, ammonium chloride, metal powder, dried African tree snake skin, sap grass, two ear grass powder, or bicorn horn powder?"

Every time Jacqueline said something, Hermione shook her head quickly, until finally Jacqueline said sapweed and two-eared grass.

"It's sapweed and two-eared grass!" Hermione stopped the pen in her hand, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at Jacqueline and said quickly.

Jacqueline nodded approvingly, "Please raise your hand before you speak next time, Miss Granger."

Jacqueline said slowly, she glanced at the students who were still completely confused about the situation, and raised her eyebrows, "You think I'm chatting with you, so you don't need to write down what I say, do you? "

Suddenly there was a fumbling sound for quills and parchment in the classroom.

"Then, let's think about it further on this basis." Amidst the noise, Jacqueline continued, "Miss Granger, can you tell me why we only use streams picked during the full moon?" What about liquid grass?"

"Is it because the sap grass at that time had better medicinal effects? Professor Graham." Hermione asked, raising her head.

Jacqueline was taken aback for a moment, she was not used to Hermione calling her Professor Graham, but Jacqueline nodded immediately, "Very correct, Miss Granger. Ten points from Gryffindor."

"Because this is the first class, I didn't expect any better performance from you," Jacqueline said slowly, "In my class, I will never ask you any questions that can be found in books. I will not leave too much homework for you to answer the questions. But at the end of the day, I ask you to submit a potion production method. You can make any potion you are interested in, and combine the steps and Write down the medicinal materials. In the last two classes, we will discuss one by one whether your production method is feasible. In the end, I will give you grades based on this."

"Including Hermione? Miss Granger?" A boy asked with a loud laugh, the whole class laughed again, and Hermione's ears turned slightly red.All the Slytherin students turned their heads, wanting to see who had the guts.

"Besides that she is my girlfriend," Jacqueline whispered, but everyone could hear her voice, "I don't see any other privileges for Miss Granger. And if Granger Even if the miss is unable to hand over a qualified production method, I don't see any possibility for you to succeed. Twenty points will be deducted from Gryffindor, please raise your hand before you speak next time."

"In addition, I want you to be clear about one thing. I spent half a year in Malfoy Manor researching all the existing potion making methods. If you want to be opportunistic, you can try Try it. I can easily see which of you is lying."

As Jacqueline said, she glanced at her watch, "Before the next class, read Chapter 1 of the textbook and explain which medicinal materials are the most important. get out of class is over."

"Also," Jacqueline looked at Hermione, a sly light flashed in her eyes, "Miss Hermione Granger, I want to put you in confinement."

"Why?" Hermione asked, almost involuntarily.

"Because," Jacqueline flashed her a perfect smile, "you made people laugh, Miss Granger. Please come to my office after dinner, and we can have a good discussion about the contents of your confinement."
