[HP] I was the scroll king at Hogwarts

"Are you really okay?" Carrie hurried on the road and never forgot to turn her head to care about her friend.

Although she still didn't miss any chance to add points during class, Alice became distraught as soon as she left the class.Carrie and Peggy tried their best to make Alice happy in the past few days, but with little success.

"I'm fine." Alice forced a smile, "Hurry up, Potions class is about to start, aren't you most afraid of Professor Snape?"

Knowing that Alice didn't want to talk about it, Carrie had no choice but to change the subject: "I don't know how to survive this first class. Those Gryffindors say that Professor Snape is very scary."

"No, I don't think so." Alice thought of the scene when Professor Snape received her, "Maybe he's just stricter."

Seeing Carrie's worried look, Alice added: "Didn't the senior sister also say that Professor Snape doesn't pay special attention to Ravenclaw students."

"I hope..." Carrie was still frowning.God knows that she would be terrified when she saw the unsmiling Professor Snape in a black robe, and she even suspected that Professor Snape couldn't smile at all.

"You're only 22 years old, and you've only been here for a year. How can you look scarier than Professor McGonagall?" The entrance to the cellar was in front of her, and Carrie shut her mouth.

That's right, Alice thought as she stepped into the classroom. Although she was not afraid of Snape, she had to admit that the professor had a strong sense of oppression at a young age.

The Potions classroom was arguably one of the largest.The wall shelves are filled with various glass jars, which contain all kinds of strange stuffed animals soaked in solution.

Because it is underground, Alice felt a chill as soon as she stepped into the classroom.In such a classroom, no matter how kind the teacher is, he will look gloomy and terrifying.

Maybe it's because Professor Snape really has a bad reputation, there are still 10 minutes before the class starts, and the classroom is already full of people, you know, this is the first class in the morning!

Almost as soon as the bell rang, Professor Snape stepped into the classroom.Staring at the professor's tumbling robe, Alice was a little envious.How tall do I have to be and how can I walk to pretend to be out of this momentum inadvertently?

Unfortunately, Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick were the only professors named.Fortunately, Professor Snape didn't seem to intend to embarrass the group of Ravenclaw freshmen.

"You have come here to learn the exact science and exacting craft of potion-making."

Alice noticed that the students were listening very seriously. Although the professor's voice was not loud, it easily shocked the students in a classroom.

"Many of you won't believe it's magic, since there's no foolish wand waving here. I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that simmering cauldron with its white smoke and fragrance You don't really understand the magical power of the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which makes people's hearts sway and their minds blurred." Professor Snape sneered, and many people trembled uncontrollably.

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death—but only if you're not one of the dumb fools I often meet."

After Snape finished speaking, the whole class was stunned.Regardless of the students' reactions, Snape turned around and wrote down the operation steps line by line on the blackboard.

Last year was also his first year of teaching, and he also made the simplest scabies potion. He thought that there would be no mistakes.As a result, he overestimated the IQ of these little monsters, and several students were sent to the medical wing in the first class.

"Take the pot off the heat and put the porcupine quill in," Snape emphasized.

At this time, everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly picked up the materials and began to process them.Carrie took advantage of Snape's reprimand from the other side of the room, and murmured under her breath, "Scared me to death, I think he thinks we're all stupid fools."

After receiving no reply for a long time, Carrie raised her head in doubt: "Alice?"

"It's amazing!" Alice's eyes glowed, her cheeks flushed, "Improving reputation, brewing glory, and preventing death. These words are too handsome."

"You..." Seeing Alice's sudden high spirits, Carrie hesitated, "You don't have a strong mentality, do you?"

To such a gloomy Snape can say such handsome words, only Mu Qiang's psychology can explain it.Can it only be said that he is worthy of being a top student?

"I think Miss Jones knows what teamwork is?"

Carrie was startled, and turned around to find that Snape had stood next to them at some point.Unreasonable, Carrie wants to cry but has no tears, why does Snape walk without making a sound?

"If Miss Jones wants to rely on Miss Hall throughout, then I guarantee that your final grades will be very good." Snape emphasized the word "good-looking".

By the way, Alice!Didn't we speak together?Carrie looked aside.

From this angle, only Alice's profile can be seen.With his head down, his lips slightly pursed, his eyes determined, and the word "concentration" displayed all over his face.Not to mention a series of actions such as weighing dried nettles, crushing snake fangs, and cooking slugs, which can be called smooth and smooth.

"Very good, for Miss Hall's operation, Ravenclaw will add a point." After a long while, Snape left without finding out the problem.

"Damn it, why didn't you remind me!" Carrie complained while paying attention to Snape's figure from the corner of her eye.The look in Snape's eyes just now made Carrie feel that she could drop out of school directly tomorrow.

"It's too late." Alice was a little embarrassed, "I'll make you a cake tonight to apologize."

A few months before the start of school, Alice made an impromptu surprise to learn baking techniques with Mrs. Rice.Of course, her cakes were not as perfect as Mrs. Rice's.

Carrie didn't dare to take a bite at first, after all, few people wanted to eat the black strawberry cake.But after eating it once, Carrie was so delicious, she begged Alice to make it again every few days.In this regard, Alice said that she was busy studying and did not make an appointment.Now I can only find time to seek forgiveness.

"That's about the same." Carrie couldn't help swallowing when she thought of the strawberry cake last time.

"Ahem." A deliberate cough came from the back table.The two of Alice knew each other and began to operate seriously.

After class, everyone handed in their finished products one after another.Alice volunteered, took the potion and went to the podium.

"Hello, Professor Snape." Alice respectfully handed over the crystal bottle.

The finished product is lavender, without impurities, and you can smell the soil after the rain when you get close.Finally seeing a perfect finished product, Snape felt his headaches eased.

Seeing Snape's slowed down expression, Alice felt her own heartbeat quicken, and watched every movement of the professor.Put the bottle away, take out the pen, and write an "E" on the paper.

Wait, E?Alice's eyes widened in disbelief, why not "O"?

"Please pay attention to your attitude towards the professor." Snape raised his lips in a good mood, "If you help Miss Jones complete the task next time, then it will not be as simple as E."

"Sorry, Alice." Seeing Alice's listless look, Carrie felt very guilty.If it weren't for herself, Alice's potion would definitely get an O.You must know that this year's Ravenclaw has not yet gotten an O from Snape!

"It's okay, we'll just pay attention next time." Alice was not as depressed as Carrie imagined.Since it is not a technical issue, it is only a matter of time to get O.

"Didn't you make an appointment for lunch with Fanny? If you don't go, it will be too late." Seeing Carrie's blushing face, Alice was very puzzled.How long has it been since school started, how did Carrie have a relationship with Fanny?

"Then you study hard and pay attention to safety." Carrie did not forget to remind her before leaving.

Ok, now to get down to business.Ravenclaw's first and second year classes were linked together, so Alice cheered herself up and turned back to the Potions classroom.

Professor Snape was correcting something on the podium, and didn't respond to Alice's going back and forth.

Back at her seat, Alice took out her large notebook from her bag, and walked towards the podium under Snape's surprised gaze.

She has been completely overwhelmed by Professor Snape's handsome speech, and Professor Snape can definitely solve her doubts.

"Professor, I have some questions."

"Miss Hall..." Snape was no stranger to the first-year Ravenclaw in front of him.First of all, she did the guiding work by herself, and secondly, Alice Hall's reputation for being hardworking and studious had spread throughout Hogwarts within less than a week after the start of school.

Thinking of other colleagues' appreciation for the first-year student, Snape barely suppressed his impatience: "I hope Miss Hall won't waste the professor's time asking some boring questions."

"Alice, Professor, you can call me Alice." Alice said with a smile, before turning to the topic before Snape could respond.

"Professor, let's take stirring for example. Why does the potion need to be stirred? I think if the stirring is to make the ingredients of the potion more fully fused, then there is no requirement to stir a few times, and it is not mandatory to only stir clockwise. Stir counterclockwise."

A flash of approval flashed in Snape's eyes: "Stirring is actually just a shortcut to achieve the goal."

"what?"

"Since potion is called potion, it must require magic power. As I said, potion is a very precise subject, and it has very strict requirements on the release and use of magic power."

"Stirring can help the wizard to channel the magic power into the potion correctly."

Alice suddenly realized: "So, if the number of stirring circles controls the time and size of the imported magic power, then the stirring direction helps maintain the stability and speed of the magic power?"

"you can say it this way."

"I saw the store bought an automatic blender?"

"That's a complete insult to potions." Snape didn't hide the contempt in his eyes. "It allows anyone to make potions, and that's all."

"However, these are not what Miss Hall needs to know." Snape looked at the time, and a second-year Ravenclaw had already entered the classroom, "I hope Miss Hall can focus more on class Knowledge."

"Good professor." Regardless of the surprised eyes of the newcomers, Alice emphasized, "There is also a professor, you can call me Alice."
