Chapter 371 Unique potion talent

The first period in the morning is Potions class, Hufflepuff and Gryffindor take it together.

　　From the very beginning of class, Gryffindor students began to be targeted crazily.

Katie of the Quidditch team was deducted five points as soon as she entered the classroom because she was wearing a hat. And McCulloch McLaggen, who also had a three-point deduction for a crease in his book.

 The reason is well known to everyone.

 In the third-grade Defense Against the Dark Arts course, when Neville faced the Boggart who had turned into Snape, he put him in a very eye-catching grandma outfit.

Originally, this matter is not big or small, and even if Snape is angry, he will only cause trouble for Neville.

But the problem is, I don’t know which bad guy went to the classroom with a camera... and then Snape’s photos of women’s clothes spread in Hogwarts.

Although this incident was quickly stopped and all the photos were forcibly confiscated...but that was only on the surface.

 There are still many behind the scenes.

In order to find the initiator, Snape tried every means, including coercion and inducement, follow-up investigation...but all to no avail.

This time the students were unprecedentedly united, and no one asked who knew anything about it.

Including Professor Lupine himself, he also looked like... I don't know, I didn't see anything. Snape was so angry that his teeth itched.

 Hence, Gryffindor, who was the first to receive the photo, was unlucky.

Let's put it this way, even though Kyle was deducted a hundred points, Hufflepuff's house points were still far ahead of Gryffindor.

 And this was just Snape's result in one day.

 At the beginning of this year, Gryffindor began to dive towards the lowest score record in history.

Even Professor McGonagall couldn't say anything, because she had also seen the photo, and to be fair, she really didn't blame Snape for being so angry.

 “Energizing potion!”

　　It wasn't until Gryffindor had been deducted twenty points that Snape returned to the podium and said in a long voice: "Lovage, **** root, one-horned buffalo horn...Mr. McLaggen."

 He suddenly asked: "What kind of treatment should be done to the bison horns when brewing the vitality potion?"

“Roast it and grind it into powder, Professor.” McCuller McLagan stood up, glanced at the blackboard, and said confidently.

 “Haha, Snape miscalculated this time.”

Kyle heard someone behind him whisper: "Luckily, these contents are all on the blackboard. You can know them just by looking at them."

"oh?"

Snape on the stage raised his eyebrows, moved a step to block the blackboard, and continued to ask: "How long does it take to bake?"

“Twenty minutes,” McLagan said without hesitation, “and then you have to scrape off the surface layer before you can start grinding.”

　　"Do you think you are very smart..." Snape said sadly: "You can remember so much after just one glance."

"I didn't read the blackboard, Professor!" McLagan said seriously, "I read the book in advance, so I knew it."

"If you had read the book in advance, you should know that the vitality potion requires the horn of a horned horned beast, not a horned bison..." Snape sneered: "Five points from Gryffindor!"

The expression on McLaggen's face froze, and he said unconvinced: "But what you wrote on the blackboard is the one-horned bison. I can't get it wrong!"

"Oh, this... I made a mistake." Snape turned around and erased that line of writing.

“Didn’t you say you didn’t read the blackboard?” He said lazily, “You will deduct another five points from Gryffindor for lying to the professor.”

 Next, they deal with the ingredients.

Lovage and **** root are easy to talk about, but the horn of the horned horn is very troublesome. It is too hard and very tough. It is difficult to cut it off, let alone grind it.   Pre-roasting is a step given by Snape and is not found in the book.

 “Kyle.” Ryan leaned forward and whispered the name of the thing, “Have you read today’s Daily Prophet?”

"No." Kyle shook his head, "What happened?"

 “Someone saw Sirius Black.” Mikel said in a low voice.

"Where…"

"Croft County, just south of Hogsmeade." Mikel seemed very excited. "A Muggle saw it... Of course, he didn't know what was going on. He just thought Black was a Ordinary criminals, so they called the hotline.

By the time the people from the Ministry of Magic got there, he was gone. "

“That’s really not far, it’s less than fifty miles away from Hogsmeade.” McLaggen, who was next to him, also came over.

　　"Do you think he will come to Hogwarts?" Connor looked a little nervous.

"it's out of the question."

McLagan said firmly, "Don't forget that there is a dementor at the school gate. If he comes, he will fall into a trap."

"But I still feel something is wrong." Mikel said thoughtfully, "There are so many places to go, why did he appear in a place so close to Hogsmeade?"

"Perhaps he doesn't know that there are dementors here." McLaggen let out a low chuckle, "I would like him to come quickly, because as long as he is discovered by the dementors, he will definitely not be able to escape.

"After he is captured, the dementors will leave the school. To be honest, whenever I think of those monsters guarding the door, I always feel uncomfortable. Even the wind blowing over is chilly."

They didn't dare to say anything, and they separated before Snape turned around.

"Kyle, do you think that if Black wants to come to Hogwarts, can the dementors at the door really stop him?" Connor asked in a low voice.

"It's hard to say." Kyle shook his head. "They have already let Black run once, and it was still in their base camp... not to mention there are only two Dementors now.

But don’t worry, it’ll be fine, I promise. "

Hearing Kyle's words, Kangna finally felt relieved and began to scrape the skin of the **** root with a knife.

 When get out of class was about to end, Snape began to check everyone's potions.

Kyle and Connor's cauldrons are both bright and bright yellow. This is a normal color and there is nothing wrong with it.

 Snape didn't even look at them and walked over directly.

 But other people are different, they come in all kinds of colors.

　　Especially Mikel's... Kyle noticed that his potion was a strange purple color with brown smoke floating on it.

Even Snape, who was well-informed, was stunned for a moment after seeing the pot of potion.

He could at least see what went wrong with other people's potions...such as adding too much of an ingredient, or not stirring enough, but this one was different.

 He couldn't see anything.

ˆ˜How can you brew such a thing from lovage, **** root, and horn of a horned camel?

What a great experience!

 “Ten points from Hufflepuff.”

Snape stared at the potion in the crucible, then looked at Mikel, "There is still confinement. Go to the underground classroom at eight o'clock on Saturday morning until you learn the vitality potion."
