Chapter 154 Snape: Twenty points for Hufflepuff!
Many students didn't write their Defense Against the Dark Arts homework, and of course they all said they didn't bring it!
But with Snape, if he didn't bring it, he didn't write it, and points would be deducted ruthlessly!
Before the holiday, he specifically told the Slytherin students that they must write Defense Against the Dark Arts homework... After doing this again and again, who else can prevent this year's Slytherin from winning the House Cup?
snort!
Snape accepted the homework contentedly, flipped through it a bit, only to find that Scamander had handed it in, which was quite unexpected to him.
Wouldn't it be a temporary copy with the copy spell?
Snape glanced at it, and found that the writing seemed to be indeed Scamander... what a pity!
"Today, we are going to prepare a potion called Wangbei Water, which can make people forget emotions such as sadness."
Snape Nape looked up at the class, his eyes were cold and empty, as if devoid of emotion.
"Attention, if the ingredients are sloppy, the brewed potion will make the person who takes the potion go into a state of excitement, and may even laugh uncontrollably...so you need to strictly follow my steps to configure."
"The ingredients and preparation methods are on the blackboard." Snape waved his wand and said, "Two people, you have an hour and a half... let's get started."
Rove and Shirley started working on the materials.
Shirley is obviously weak in brewing potions, but Luo Funa has a lot of materials, and she practiced with her during the summer vacation.
When a potion has been practiced more than a dozen times, it will not be learned, and it doesn't matter where you put it.
However, this is a bit difficult for ordinary students. Brewing potions requires a lot of materials and is expensive... For them, the only opportunity to practice is in class.
So Potions is also a gold mine!
As for Rove... After washing Snape's hair last semester, he had obtained the opponent's potion talent for a year, which is now a historical level talent.
This level of potion, he could almost brew it with just a glance.
Of course, he himself has brewed the water of forgetfulness several times, and he is familiar with it, and he can succeed with his eyes closed.
Rove and Shirley worked together in an orderly manner, with no mistakes in every step...very stable!
Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, watching the students handle the pitcher plants, and almost all young wizards were criticized.
He swayed around and stared at Rove and Shirley, but he couldn't make a mistake after looking for a long time, so he turned around and stared at Neville and Hannah.
They were Snape's duo of idiots, the students who, apart from Potter and Weasley's good-for-nothing duo, gave him the most fun.
As long as the two of them are together, they can always make stupid and clumsy operations.
Sure enough, the cauldron was emitting purple sparks, Neville was sweating profusely, and Hannah poked the flames under the cauldron with her wand to make the flames bigger.
So stupid...so much so that Snape didn't want to break up the pair.
Rove sat on the stool, and he skillfully stirred the emerald green liquid, then added the juice of the devil's nettle, and then stirred three times counterclockwise.
Add a ponies mane...boil for two minutes and you're done.
Shirley was carefully grinding devil nettles with her pestle, her ponytail swaying slightly.
Looking at the busy girl, Rove suddenly had a flash of inspiration. After quickly writing a few steps in the potion book, he said excitedly, "Xue Li, I will lend you a hair."
"Ah?" The girl raised her head with a surprised expression.
"I suddenly had a bold idea." Rove held up the textbook, circled the steps he wrote with a quill, and explained:
"Replace the pygmy's mane with the wizard's hair."
"But..." Shirley frowned.
"I know, you will talk about the efficacy of the medicine. You can use the scales of the horse-headed fish-tailed sea monster instead. It should be effective... Shall we try it?"
Shirley looked confused, she didn't understand at all, but... the girl didn't hesitate too much, she pulled out a slender red hair from her head, and handed it to the boy.
Rove put the red hair into the cauldron, let Shirley continue to stir the potion, and he went to the storage cabinet to find the scales of the horse-headed fish-tailed sea monster.
A moment later, the boy threw the scales into the cauldron, and the potion instantly sprayed out a rose-red steam...the color was incomparably gorgeous.
This scene attracted the attention of many people.
Snape strode over. He looked at the cauldron, the surprise in his eyes flashed away, and when he looked up again, his eyes were empty.
"Scamander, what is this?"
"Wangbeishui, sir." Rove said calmly.
"What color should Wangsai Water be?!"
"Silver white steam."
"Then what did you cook?!"
"Professor, I just made some changes and added a piece of Miss Swinton's hair... The effect may not be the same as your request." Rove explained:
"This bottle of Wangsie Water is probably only effective for Miss Swinton, but the effect will last longer than ordinary potions. The exact time will not be known until after taking it."
"Who taught you to do this?" Snape wrinkled his sallow and thin face, staring at Rove: "Changing the steps I gave without authorization?!"
Shirley wanted to stand up and said that she made the changes. Rove gave the girl a peaceful look and smiled:
"A flash of inspiration, Professor, if you don't like it, just deduct points."
Snape's eyes were sharp, and he stared straight at Rove, as if doubting and judging. After a long time, he stared at the pot of potion again.
Many students looked at Scamander. It was not a wise choice for him not to follow Professor Snape's steps to brew the potion!
Hufflepuff should deduct at least 20 points!
Snape stared blankly at the cauldron, recalling that summer many years ago for no reason:
In Professor Slughorn's Potions class, he and Lily sat together to make the Potion of Sorrow.
The young Snape had a whim at that time, picked up a piece of red hair from the girl's robe with bright white teeth, and put it in the cauldron...
Lily's crisp "Severus" suddenly echoed in his ears at this moment.
Some memories that have long been locked in the bottom of my heart and I dare not recall them are suddenly vivid in my mind, and then Snape's eyes are full of desolation and reminiscence.
His eyes were no longer like stagnant water in an ancient well, he became a little angry, and muttered to himself: "The effect of the medicine can be extended by four hours..."
Just when the little wizards thought that Snape was going to deduct points, after a long silence, he suddenly said in a hoarse voice:
"Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw... twenty points."
Everyone was shocked!
Rove raised his eyebrows in surprise, then he scooped up the Wangbei water with a cup, handed it to Xueli, and said with a bright smile:
"Have a taste?"
The girl with the ponytail gave a soft oh, then reached out to take the potion, and drank it in full gulp in front of everyone. She suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes and said:
"It's delicious!"
