Chapter 48 48. Potter, something is wrong with you (fourth update)

Because Slytherin and Gryffindor had classes together all day on Friday, Hermione worked hard for this day, in order to earn more points than Dudley in the two potions classes.

I almost tore through the first grade potions textbook.

The Potions classroom is also in a basement. The temperature here is slightly lower and colder than the main building of the castle above.

To be honest, Dudley didn't think brewing potions would be better in a place like this than in other places.

Personally, he prefers to stay at room temperature.

This allows for better control of temperature and heat.

Maybe it's Professor Snape's personal preference.

There were many glass jars placed along the wall of the potion room, and many animal specimens were soaked in them, including many contraband items that were expressly prohibited by the wizarding world, which made Dudley very greedy.

As expected of a master of potions, the things on display are all rare items that are extremely difficult to obtain.

It is said that Snape himself has a small room where potion materials are stored. If that place is robbed, Dudley estimates that he will not be short of materials for many years.

However, there is a 80% chance that Professor Snape will chase him to the ends of the earth.

"Brother D." Harry walked up to Dudley and whispered before class.

Harry told Dudley the day before that Hagrid invited him and Dudley to visit his cabin this afternoon.

What can I say about Hagrid? He's not a bad person. If he hadn't been rude to Vernon first, Dudley wouldn't have had a conflict with him. After getting Dudley's forgiveness, he also got Harry's forgiveness. After all, he was Hagrid.

He is a good friend of Li's parents and knows a lot about his parents' past.

But if Dudley doesn't forgive Hagrid, then Harry won't forgive Hagrid either.

Even if they are forgiven now, the relationship between Harry and Hagrid is not very close. Dudley takes the lead in everything. If Dudley refuses, then he will refuse too.

Dudley agreed very happily. Hagrid's hut was on the border not far from the Forbidden Forest. The Forbidden Forest was a place that fascinated Dudley.

In other words, it is a place that everyone who loves herbal medicine and potions likes.

Dangerous, but rich in resources.

However, for Hagrid, after Dudley got along with him for a period of time, he evaluated Hagrid as "simply scary". In Dudley's evaluation, this is not a complimentary term, but it cannot be regarded as a derogatory term.

The reason why he commented like this was because Hagrid reminded him of a person - a certain black whirlwind with a simple mind.

Of course, Hagrid is stronger than him, at least not so murderous and bloodthirsty.

Otherwise, Hagrid, who was at the same time as Fu Ren, would have been dubbed the Little Dark Lord, well, the Physical Demon.

This was the first existence that made Dudley fearful.

With one minute left before class time, Professor Snape walked in from the door.

With cold and empty eyes, a big gutter nose, greasy hair, and a dark outfit, no matter how you look at Snape, he is the villain depicted in fairy tales. Not many young wizards will have a good first impression of him.

.

Snape walked to the podium, picked up the roster and began to call the names.

When Harry's name was called, Snape paused.

"Oh, look who this is? Harry Potter. A famous character."

The weird way of speaking caused many young wizards to cover their mouths and laugh, including Malfoy and his followers. However, after Dudley looked around indifferently, the entire Slytherin House collectively silenced, except for a few

The confused Gryffindor was still snickering.

"You are here to learn how to prepare potions."

Snape brought order to the classroom as soon as he opened his mouth. In terms of deterrence, he was no worse than Dudley.

"There's no silly waving of wands here, so many of you won't believe it's magic. I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of a simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrant aromas wafting out. I

I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death. But there must be one thing, that is, you are not the stupid fools I often encounter."

Potions can do a lot of things that magic spells can't do. Others may not be able to understand it, but Dudley understands it very well.

He has already experienced the magic of potions.

Even if he is unable to cast spells in the future, his achievements using only potions may not be worse than those of other wizards.

However, Dudley noticed that when Snape said these words, his eyes would look at Harry intentionally or unintentionally.

Is it because I think of my poor little aunt?

"Potter!" Snape suddenly raised his voice: "What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion?"

"I don't know, sir." Harry answered very honestly.

He didn't even know what narcissus root powder and mugwort were.

Snape's eyes moved away from Harry's green eyes, fell on his face, and curled his lips with great contempt.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems fame doesn't mean everything."

Another sarcastic comment, another burst of laughter, but this time no Slytherin was involved, it was all Gryffindors.

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you look?"

As he spoke, Snape's eyes fell on Harry's eyes again, staring into those green eyes.

In the deepest part of his eyes, there may be some hope.

Unfortunately, Harry's answer disappointed him again.

"I don't know, sir."

Harry shook his head, he really didn't know.

"I take it you didn't read a single book before term started, did you, Potter?"

The expression on Snape's face became more contemptuous, but the deepest part of his eyes was full of disappointment.

That person has left and will never come back. It is a pity that her children did not inherit her advantages.

"Potter, last question, what is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?"

Aconitum?

Hearing this word, Harry immediately became energetic. He really knew this, Dudley had said it to him specifically.

"They all make poison, sir."

Snape was stunned as soon as Harry spoke.

"Both Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum wolfsbane are plants of the genus Aconitum. They are both Aconitum, a slender, upright and poisonous perennial herbaceous plant, especially the roots are highly toxic, with black skin and flowers.

Bright and beautiful, its juice can be coated on arrows to make poisonous arrows to kill people or animals. It is sometimes used as poison for death row prisoners. Its flower language is "malice". Once poisoned by accident, it will first slow down the heartbeat, and then the whole body.

numbness, then the heartbeat will gradually accelerate, confusion, coma, and finally failure and death."

Harry kept talking like a machine gun, his eyes full of excitement, and finally there was a question he knew.

However, this kind of excitement has a different meaning in the eyes of the Slytherins in the classroom.

When it comes to other issues, you are submissive and know nothing about it. When poison is mentioned, you talk about it, and when death is mentioned, your face is filled with excitement.

Potter, there's something wrong with you.
