Hogwarts behind-the-scenes big boss

Moriarty's outstanding performance in the Transfiguration class attracted everyone's attention, and students from the four colleges were looking forward to Moriarty's performance in other classes.

During Potions class, Professor Snape strode into the classroom.

Unlike Professor McGonagall who needs to use severe deductions to remind the students in class, Professor Snape has the intimidating power to keep the classroom in order without any effort.

Maybe it has something to do with his fierce reputation, or maybe it has something to do with his cold face, black hair, and long robe hem.

This outfit made him look like an intimidating big bat.

As he walked onto the podium, the little snakes and little lions shrank their necks, waiting for his name to be called.

When Moriarty's name was called, Professor Snape stopped. His dark eyes were cold and empty, just like his tone.

"The famous Mr. Moriarty," his voice was just above a whisper: "I think you should know that the students of Slytherin House always pay a huge price to bear the name of Slytherin.

."

Moriarty was sure he saw Snape himself in those words.

"Of course, they have also achieved success." Professor Snape said slowly: "But you are different. Think about it, how much effort and sweat do you have to put in to be worthy of the name Slytherin?"

He is indeed a good professor, Moriarty thought to himself

Professor Snape raised his voice: "If it weren't for your last name, I wouldn't have said so much to you, understand Mr. Slytherin!"

"Understood, Professor." Moriarty replied loudly, "And I know exactly what I'm doing."

"Very well, let's see if Mr. Slytherin is a qualified Slytherin..." Professor Snape sat in front of Moriarty, stared into his eyes and said, "Listen, if I

What do you get when you add narcissus root powder to a mugwort infusion?”

"You will get a dose of life and death water." Moriarty said calmly.

Professor Snape said without any emotion: "Name the most common ingredients needed to make swelling potion."

Moriarty glanced at the Potions Professor. Apparently, this was a second-year Potions course.

But he still answered fluently: "The most common ones are puffer fish eyes."

"Who was the inventor of the shrink potion?"

Well, this time it’s third grade!

Moriarty smiled: "It's Zygmunt Budge, professor."

Next, Snape asked some questions that only the fourth to sixth graders would learn. Moriarty answered him fluently and clearly.

The question-and-answer session between the two lasted no more than three minutes, but Snape stared at Moriarty for a full five minutes after he answered all the questions!

No one knew what he was thinking, and Moriarty didn't feel that his brain was being invaded.

"Five points for Slytherin," Snape said suddenly. He stood up and walked away, his voice echoing in the classroom: "The Water of Life and Death is the first potion you will learn today! Don't make me say it a second time!

"

Professor Snape began to explain the steps of brewing water of life and death. The sound of "rustling" writing soon came from the classroom. Moriarty raised the corner of his mouth. Because water of life and death was the content of today's study, it was not included in the calculation.

Divide?

Si Jiao is such an interesting person.

"Mr. Moriarty doesn't take notes?" Lilith said softly.

Moriarty shook his head: "The best way to remember is always practice."

As he spoke, he took out the raw materials needed to brew the water of life and death, as well as a crucible and a scale.

Moriarty listened to Professor Snape's explanation and started cooking according to the steps.

"Arrogant genius!" Snape suddenly sneered, and then the speed of his explanation suddenly increased, as if he had a machine gun in his mouth, and the enemy was Moriarty.

The little snake and the little lions were immediately miserable. Jericho simply stopped taking notes and watched Moriarty brewing the potion.

On the contrary, it was Lilith who kept shaking her wrist and wrote a series of beautiful handwriting with a quill pen.

"I have been used to copying laws and regulations since I was a child." Lilith shrugged and took a moment to take a look at Moriarty's Water of Life and Death.

Thanks to Professor Snape's quick explanation, Moriarty's process of brewing the water of life and death was greatly shortened. When he ground the narcissus root into powder, he was only one step away from completion.

Jericho made an exaggerated cry: "Hey! Mr. Moriarty, maybe you don't need to come to class at all. I believe that as long as I show you the steps to prepare the potions, you can learn all the potions!"

"Mr. Blanche, why don't you write down what I said? Maybe you think you have learned it? Three points from Slytherin!" Professor Snape came over.

At this time, Moriarty added the narcissus root powder to the wormwood infusion, and the water of life and death was successfully brewed. Professor Snape gave a rare nod: "Mr. Slytherin won twenty awards for Slytherin House."

point."

"Thank you," Moriarty smiled: "Very unique addition, Professor."

The little snakes also laughed. It was rare for two Slytherins to appear at the same time.

Lilith refused to admit defeat and said, "Mine is almost finished. I don't believe it will be worse than yours."

Moriarty looked over and saw that the water of life and death brewed by Lilith was as standard as the one in the textbook, but the brewing speed was slower than him.

After Professor Snape checked her potion, he also said: "Three points for Slytherin."

When Teacher Si went to check on the progress of the little lions, Lilith curled her lips and said, "How stingy, only three points."

As if he would never be sad, Jericho smiled even when he was deducted points: "It would be good to get three points. You don't want to compare with Mr. Moriarty, do you?"

Lilith's eyes flickered and she didn't speak, but Jericho seemed to have discovered a new world: "I really want to open your head and see what's inside. You actually want to compare who won the academy with Moriarty."

More points? Wow wow wow!

According to my statistics, Mr. Moriarty added sixty points to our college in the two classes! And you only have three points. The difference of twenty times is really big, isn't it Mr. Moriarty?"

"Stop irritating her," Moriarty saw a murderous intention jumping in Lilith's eyes. He joked to Jericho: "If you do this again, maybe she will come up with a hundred ways that do not violate the law.

But it can overcome your methods."

"Huh," Lilith glared at Jericho slightly and turned her head away: "It's good that you know!"

Having said that, Moriarty raised the corners of his mouth when he saw this arrogant little girl.

Jericho touched the short hair on his head and quickly turned his attention to the potion. Moriarty saw him skillfully picking up the ingredients, sorting them out, and then starting to brew them.

That action was quite like Moriarty. Jericho smiled sheepishly at Moriarty: "Your posture and movements are very cool. I wanted to imitate it when I saw it..."

"Excellent memory and excellent imitation ability," Moriarty cast his probing eyes on the little American wizard: "Jericho, how many surprises have you prepared for us?"

Lilith turned her head back again, and she said to Moriarty: "Look, Mr. Blanche will definitely show off his skills in the flying class tomorrow. Do you want to bet, Mr. Moriarty?"

Jericho held his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Miss Lilith, why don't you become a reporter! Daily Prophet? Or, naysayer?

Or playing devil's advocate is more suitable for you, after all, you can always master information that is unknown to outsiders."

"Who allowed you to call me by my name?" Lilith casually stirred the pot with a spoon, "Also, don't compare me with two rubbish tabloids.

As for you thinking I'm a gossip? In fact, I didn't deliberately collect information about you, but I analyzed it based on your performance after mastering a large amount of information."

"Remember what I said on the train! Mr. Moriarty." Lilith's eyes became dark, and it was hard to believe that she was only eleven years old.

"I am not a little girl who only dreams. In order to achieve my goals, I started taking action from the moment I entered Hogwarts.

The young wizards in Hogwarts are the best subjects for investigation. I have no intention of prying into their privacy, but I need to know their nature.

So one investigation report after another was released like a potion, not only for Jericho, but also for first-year and second-year students at Hogwarts!"

Moriarty remembered that she often sat with senior Gemma, and asked, "Have you started to contact third-year students?"

Lilith snorted: "The seniors in the third grade are different from the first and second graders. They are quite mature. Haven't you already felt this!"

Knowing what she meant, Moriarty smiled: "Do you care that you are not as mature as them, or do you care that you are not as mature as them?"

Lilith rolled her eyes and stopped talking.

Jericho held his chin and looked through the textbook in boredom. He felt like an abandoned tool.
