Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Chapter 48 Second Grade Potions Class

Moriarty and Lilith were searching for information in the library. They abided by Mrs. Pince's rules, reading quietly and taking notes, until around noon, Jericho broke into the library in a hurry, breaking the peace.

Jericho ran to the desk where Moriarty and Lilith were sitting, "Sir, sir? Do you know, after class, I went to talk to those two boys, but they actually glared at me! Then ran away!"

He raised his hands to the height of his shoulders and waved excitedly: "This is not normal! I have a very good relationship with them, and they are not the kind of people who write their emotions on their faces!"

"Blanche!" shouted Mrs. Pince.

Moriarty dragged Jericho out of the library before Mrs. Pince arrived, and Lilith followed after returning the book.

"Keith and Larpo also suffer from the same aversion to study as you?" Lilith thought it was quite ridiculous: "If they can graduate successfully, they have to thank Merlin for his care. How dare they get tired of studying!"

"I just served as a guard once and then I floated. I won't give them any more tasks in the future." Moriarty shrugged, obviously thinking this was funny.

The three of them walked towards the auditorium while talking, had lunch, went back to the dormitory to pick up the cauldron and other equipment, and then walked towards the Potions classroom.

With the experience of arriving early for the Transfiguration class, they chose a moderate time to walk into the classroom. Professor Snape was sitting on the podium, wearing a black cloak on his shoulders as always, like a big bat.

"Why are there so many people here?" Jericho looked around and saw that most of the stools were empty.

"No one dares to be late for Professor Si's class. Sit down quickly. I dare say we will make a swelling potion in this class." Lilith chose her seat, and Moriarty and Jericho took their seats one after another.

Moriarty asked: "So the information you were looking for in the library was the Swelling Potion?"

"That's right," Lilith said confidently, "Do you remember what I said last semester, I want to compete with you in potions class."

"You two are really interesting," Jericho murmured, "I am more interested in our school motto than potions. Sir, did you gain anything from your trip to the library?"

"No," Moriarty's voice contained no emotion or anger. "There are countless stories about dragons, but there are very few records about the legend of Sleeping Dragons. Old Flint wrote me back yesterday and said he would send me a letter before next Monday.

, send all the legends about dragons in the world."

While cleaning the golden crucible with a brush, Jericho whispered: "I'm worried that the story of the dragon-slaying boy who turned into an evil dragon will come true. Maybe there really is a sleeping evil dragon hidden under our castle, but it is someone.

He was transformed into a young dragon-slaying boy and was sealed in the school."

Moriarty and Lilith looked at each other and nodded slightly: "Your worries are justified."

During their exchange, a large group of students walked in. Strangely, the lion and the snake walked together.

In the past, the little lions would always rush to walk in front of the little snake, but during potions class, the little lions would always drag their feet behind because of the snake's teachings.

Never before had students from the two colleges mixed together and walked into the classroom sparsely like today.

Moriarty saw the always positive Percy among the crowd, walking forward listlessly.

Snape crossed his arms in displeasure and smiled sarcastically: "I thought you were simple-minded and well-developed limbs. It took me a year to realize that this evaluation was ridiculously high for you. Your legs and feet are...

Used for decoration."

Moriarty and the other three secretly laughed. The students slid to their seats as if they had just woken up from a dream. Professor Sri Lanka picked up a dark green crystal bottle from the podium and walked down.

"There is a potion that can cause swelling in the parts of the body that come into contact with the potion," Professor Snape asked in a low tone, "Who can tell me its name?"

Lilith raised her right hand high, and the teacher glanced at her, then walked up to Percy and looked down at him: "Weasley?"

"Oh! Oh, sir." Percy was bounced up like a spring on his butt, "Well, swelling potion!"

"Obvious answer," the teacher neither deducted nor added points to Gryffindor. Moriarty suspected that he just went to class to remind Percy. What the teacher said next proved this point.

"Concentrate." Si Jiao said calmly.

Percy sat down as if he had been granted a pardon, and the teacher walked towards the next student, "Keith? The ingredients of the swelling potion."

Keith stood up tremblingly: "I don't know, Professor."

"So? Why don't you pick up the textbook and read it out? Or does the great Keith think he doesn't need textbooks and doesn't bother to read?" Snape walked up to him and stared at him, his dark eyes like

The two black holes seemed to have sucked away all Keith's happiness.

Keith's breath was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to pick up the textbook "Magic Potions and Potions" with trembling hands, but Keith had already left. "Miss Pillivek!" he shouted: "Recite the ingredients of the swelling potion.

Don't tell us you can't find it!"

"Of course not, Professor." Lilith stood up and turned the textbook to a certain page. Moriarty saw that the page was full of notes.

"The ingredients of the swelling potion include dried nettles, puffer fish eyes, bat spleen..."

Listening to Lilith's clear and fluent explanation, Moriarty closed his eyes. Judging from the ingredients, the swelling potion was far more complicated than the potions made in the first grade, but it was nothing compared to the neutralizing potion.

.

After Lilith read the last ingredient, Moriarty opened his eyes. He wrote down all the ingredients, and saw Professor Snape walking up to the podium, pulling out his wand, and giving the potion ingredients to the students.

.

"One for each person," Si Jiao said lazily, "and I will only teach it once."

After speaking, he directed the crucible, scale, crystal bottle, silver knife, and a transparent mortar, flew to the podium, and arranged the various utensils with his own hands.

"The professor's speed is too fast," Lilith complained: "I practiced for half a month during the summer vacation and still can't keep up!"

"Use your heart, not your hands." Moriarty said as he had already laid out the utensils to be used and was playing with a mortar in his hand.

"Listen! The first step is to add 2 spoons of dried nettles to the mortar!" Professor Snape said without warning, causing the students to panic.

But he completed this step on his own, and only Moriarty and Lilith followed. Jericho's movement with the spoon was too big, and he almost knocked over the crucible.

"The second step is to add 3 parts of puffer fish eyes to the mortar!"

Moriarty did as he was told, and Lilith also completed this step. Jericho rolled his eyes at Keith with his puffer fish eyes, trying to make Keith laugh. Keith's pale face improved a little.

"What a gentle and delicate person." Moriarty shook his head and smiled when he saw this scene.

"Step three!" Professor Si's voice sounded like a bell ringing the end of an exam, urging, "Grind them into medium-fine powder. Remember, it only takes five minutes. If you take one more second, you will have to start all over again!"

Moriarty held the crystal pestle and pounded it into the mortar, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Lilith grabbed Moriarty's arm, "The professor and the book said to grind, not pound!"

"Then look at how the Sect dealt with it?" Moriarty took out a hand, placed it on Lilith's head, and gently turned her head toward the podium.

Lilith blushed a little, but it quickly dissipated, "The teacher actually used a magic wand to turn dried nettles and puffer fish eyes into medium-fine powder!"

Lilith seemed very unconvinced: "He cheated! It obviously took five minutes, but he finished it in one go!"

"If you make the swelling potion thousands of times, you can make it come out in one go. Now, grind it honestly." Moriarty continued to pound, making a "dong dong dong~ dong dong dong~" quite a bit.

Rhythmic sound.

The students all looked at Moriarty, and Professor Si also took a look, and then turned his attention elsewhere. Lilith grinded hard and asked, "Why don't Professor Si ignore you? Grinding will cause damage to the material."

"Next thing you'll understand."

"snort."

Lilith curled her lips and increased her strength, as if she was treating the materials in the mortar as Moriarty, grinding them hard.

Jericho, on the other hand, continued his free-prostitution style from last semester. He would do whatever Moriarty did.

"It's so cool to have sex for free." He said, leaning on the edge of the table behind him happily, watching the other students painstakingly grinding the materials, feeling full of superiority, because using Moriarty's method, it only took him two minutes.
