Chapter 186: Make-up lessons during holidays
“This is incredible.”
While eating in the auditorium, Cedric already learned from Connor what happened in the Potions class just now.
He smacked his lips and asked curiously: "I remember that the water of life and death is something only learned in sixth grade. How did you do it...Wait a minute, don't tell me that you have read all the potions textbooks." All studied!”
Kyle, who was cutting sausages, looked up at him and smiled: "What if that's true."
Cedric was stunned for a moment, and then said half-jokingly: "Then I can only give up Quidditch and make time to study harder... After all, being friends with the future Potions Master is very stressful."
“It seems I saved a life from Harris.” Kyle patted his chest and said with some fear: “If you quit the team for this reason, he will definitely kill me!
“Okay, I admit I was joking just now.”
Under everyone's gaze, Kyle continued: "It's just my luck. I picked up a copy of "Advanced Potion Making" a few days ago, and I just browsed it for a while to pass the time, and happened to see the process of making the water of life and death. "
It was true that he was lucky. If he hadn't learned Occlumency during the summer vacation, he wouldn't have dared to dance like this in front of Snape.
Although this kind of behavior is a bit suicidal, it is really fun.
Especially when he saw Snape's expression of doubting his life when he wanted to deduct points but couldn't, Kyle almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
It's a pity that he couldn't take a picture of what he looked like at that time, otherwise Kyle would have used the best developing potion to make it into a ghostly animated picture, and then posted it in every corner of Hogwarts.
I just don’t know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. If so, maybe he can discuss it with Peeves...
“Even so, it’s very powerful.”
At this time, Mikel, who was sitting on the other side of Kyle, sighed and said, "Professor Snape has clearly written out the process, but I just can't learn it."
Mikel is the unlucky guy who blew up the crucible.
After he finished stirring, the original potion began to evaporate rapidly, and finally the crucible suddenly exploded, releasing a pool of black gelatin.
To a certain extent, the drowsy effect of that thing may be better than that of normal water of life and death, but no one dares to taste it.
After eating, they returned to the common room and found a seat near the fireplace to sit down.
The blazing fire quickly dissipated the coldness brought from outside. Several people sat on the sofa and squinted their eyes comfortably.
Because the Christmas holiday is coming soon, the little wizards in the lounge are very excited, and almost everyone is discussing the arrangements for the holiday.
Cedric listened to their conversation and turned to ask: "By the way Kyle, are you really not going to go home this Christmas?"
“Yeah.” Kyle nodded.
Dianna hasn't been home recently, and Chris has gone to Albania with Newt, so he still has no one at home this Christmas.
Last week, when Professor Sprout came to register the list of students staying at school for the holidays, Kyle immediately signed his name on it, as did Connor.
According to Connor, Snape seemed to want to give her extra lessons during the Christmas holidays, so he had to stay at school.
This made Kyle envious. Although he wanted to be shameless and listen, he knew with his own feet that Snape would definitely not agree.
In addition, Fred and George are also planning to stay this year, because the Weasleys are going to Romania to visit Charlie, and they are not planning to take them with them.
"Why do you all have to spend Christmas at school this year..." Cedric scratched his hair helplessly and said, "It would be too boring for me to go back alone."
In fact, he also wanted to stay in school and wrote a letter home specifically to this end, but Mr. Diggory firmly disagreed. Cedric couldn't disobey him, so he had to give up.
Fortunately, Qiu also chose to go home, so he didn't appear too unsociable.
A few people sat in front of the fireplace until the afternoon, then reluctantly stood up and left the common room.
Cedric is going to his last Charms class before the holidays.
Kyle and Kangna are in herbal medicine class.
After the armored pumpkin last Halloween, in the last class before the Christmas vacation, Professor Sprout brought out another magical plant that suited the occasion.
Snow cap agaricus.
This is a kind of fungus that is more than half a meter tall. There are circles of white lines on the umbrella canopy. It looks like a Christmas tree with a layer of snowflakes on top.
As expected, Kyle once again won twenty points for Hufflepuff.
I don’t know whether it was to take care of other people’s emotions or because of Christmas. When get out of class was over, Professor Sprout gave everyone a pot of snow cap mushrooms as a gift.
It’s just that Kyle is not very interested.
Mainly, the snow capped toadstool is a kind of non-toxic ornamental plant, but it usually grows on the top of the mountain covered with snow all year round, and few of the little wizards have seen it.
In fact, you can buy a pot of snow capped mushrooms in Diagon Alley for only three sickles, or even cheaper if they are seeds, 20 kats for a small spoonful.
Planting it in the flower bed can only improve the food for the moon-crazy beast.
…
When Kyle, Kangna and others finished the last herbal medicine class and came out of the greenhouse, everyone jumped up excitedly.
Tomorrow is the long-awaited holiday. If they didn't have to attend the evening banquet today, they would be eager to board the train home now.
At the back of the crowd, Kang Na asked in a low voice: "Kyle, how are you going to spend this holiday?"
"Probably do nothing." Kyle thought for a while and said: "I was too busy before, so I can take a good rest during the holiday. I am going to take a tour of Hogwarts, or try Wes The secret passage recommended by Brother Lai.”
After listening to this, Kangna couldn't help but look a little envious.
This holiday, she only has three days to write homework for various subjects, and the rest of the time will be used to make up for classes.
According to Professor Snape's words: "Your foundation is too poor, and you have wasted such a good talent. You must make up the lessons!"
Originally, she was given a week to do her homework. If she moved quickly, she could have a few days left at her disposal.
But for some reason, on the way to class just now, she suddenly received a note from Professor Snape, which said that the make-up lesson would be moved forward four days, asking her to finish her homework as soon as possible.
There is nothing I can do now. I can only finish my homework in three days and can't do anything else at all.
