Yiren's non-human chat group

Chapter 20 Snape’s Potions Lesson

"You loser, don't you have eyes? Are those you call dried nettles?"

"Idiot, it's the fangs of the crushing snake. Do you know what crushing means?"

When the little wizards began to prepare the potion according to the steps, Snape also dragged his long black cloak and walked back and forth in the classroom to check.

However, his cursing almost never stopped, and all the little wizards he passed by were scolded by him.

Even Slytherin's little wizard is no exception. He still gets scolded when he makes mistakes.

Looking at the stern Professor Snape, Xiao Yiren couldn't help but grin. He felt that everything was so familiar, and he felt like he was back in high school.

Snape was an English teacher, and he was one of those little wizards who was scolded all the time.

"What is here? We need to use the past tense here. Why, you can still have breakfast at night..."

"This is the subjunctive mood..."

It's just that he's not the one being punished now.

Of course, Hermione is not yet within the scope of Snape's reprimand.

Although Hermione's talents in Charms and broomsticks are average, even though she has a strong academic personality and diligent study, she is still average because of her average magic level.

But in courses like Potions and History of Magic that require more theory than magic, Hermione's talent is unquestionable.

Even if Snape saw it, he had nothing to say, and it was absolutely impossible for him to give Hermione points.

Pink smoke emitted from the crucible in front of Hermione, which also showed that the potion to treat the boil was successfully prepared, and the refining of the potion was considered a success.

Xiao Yiren lay not far away and looked at the potion in front of Hermione, his eyes slowly widening in this dark environment.

"Waking the wand, is that a thing?"

Recalling the magic power released when Hermione brewed the potion, Xiao Yiren was thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

"oops!"

At this moment, Neville and Seamus, who were in the group next to them, suddenly screamed. Their cauldron leaked for some reason, the potion spilled, and green acidic smoke suddenly rose.

Fortunately, although Neville's reaction speed was so slow that it was almost impossible to react at all, Seamus still had some reaction and pulled Neville directly to the ground, thus escaping such a disaster.

Even so, Harry and Ron on the other side of Neville were still splashed with potion on their shoes, burning several holes in them.

As for the rising smoke, it flew directly towards Hermione after passing over Nawei and Seamus.

Xiao Yiren was furious when he noticed this phenomenon. Damn it, such thick shoes made him burp in an instant. If he was hit like this, he would feel cold.

As a cat, Xiao Yiren's reaction speed is faster than that of a rattlesnake and four times that of a human being. The smoke does not float very fast, so Xiao Yiren still has a certain amount of reaction time.

Looking next to him, Hermione, who had not yet reacted and was still standing stunned, felt a brainstorm in Xiao Yiren's brain.

"What should I do? Why don't I remember that Hermione was injured because of this thing in the original book? It's only been a few days, where is the butterfly effect..."

There are countless thoughts in his mind, but the main thing is to consider how to save Hermione. After all, they have been together for so long, and Xiao Yiren is really not willing to let him see Hermione hurt.

"Cleaning spell? Floating spell?..."

Xiao Yiren's current knowledge of magic spells is really pitiful.

When Xiao Yiren learns magic spells, he cannot directly use a wand to guide the magic with movements and words like a young wizard. He can only try it on his own by observing the magic movement of other wizards when they cast magic through bloodline skills.

If Hermione hadn't practiced some spells before going to school, Xiao Yiren might not have been able to cast even one spell.

With only minutes and seconds left, Xiao Yiren quickly found the optimal solution.

He took another look at the distance between the smoke and Hermione, then instantly jumped up with his legs bent, and threw himself into the unprepared Hermione's arms.

"Um?"

The sudden impact on her chest made Hermione tilt slightly backward, but Xiao Yiren's body was still too light, so it was still impossible to hit someone.

Therefore, Hermione suddenly felt that the soles of her feet slipped, her body tilted backwards, and her legs moved directly forward, and she fell backwards before she could stand firmly.

"ah--"

"Pa~"

With a scream, Hermione fell directly to the ground, and green corrosive smoke drifted past Hermione's face.

The whole process seems very long, but in fact it only takes less than five seconds.

This was enough time for Snape to react.

“Scourgify”

A ray of milky white light shot out from the wand in Snape's hand, like a glowing arrow, and hit the front of the smoke in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the green smoke that was as big as a coffee table disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"idiot!"

After Snape had finished dealing with the smoke that might harm the little wizard, he came over with a roar, waved his wand and swept away the potion and green smoke on the ground:

"I suppose you put the porcupine quill in the cauldron without taking it off the fire, didn't you?"

Neville and Simon got up from the ground without saying a word, obviously acquiescing.

"Because of your idiotic behavior, one point has been deducted from Gryffindor. Go back and make it again!"

After scolding, Snape flicked his sleeves and glanced at Hermione who had fallen down. Seeing that she was not injured, Snape snorted and continued to transform into a "venomous snake" and wander around among the young wizards.

At this time, Hermione barely recovered from the trance she had just fallen into.

"Hmm~"

Standing up with a hum, Hermione touched the back of her head, a look of confusion on her fair face.

"It doesn't hurt?"

I obviously fell, so why doesn’t it hurt?

Unable to figure it out, Hermione simply stopped thinking about it, put one hand on the ground, and slowly stood up.

Standing up again, Hermione looked at the disgraced Neville and the two, and then she completely came back to her senses. She hugged Xiao Yiren with some luck, and said very happily:

"Thank you, Waite, if it weren't for you, I would be hurt..."

"Meow~(It's good that you know...)"

In response, Xiao Yiren waved his paw.

As for why Hermione didn't feel any pain when she fell, it was naturally Xiao Yiren's operation. Xiao Yiren threw Hermione down just to let her avoid danger. If Hermione was injured as a result, it would be unjustifiable.

Although Xiao Yiren's floating spell was a bit reluctant to lift a person, it was still easy to push the person's footsteps and reduce the impact of Hermione's fall.

"Miss Granger, I think it's class time now, shouldn't you do something class-related?"

At this moment, a voice like a poisonous snake suddenly sounded from behind, scaring Hermione so much that she trembled all over and almost threw Xiao Yiren out of her hand.

Turning his head mechanically, he saw Snape with greasy hair, wearing black wizard robes, and looking like a big bat.

"I'm sorry about that, Professor..."

Hermione quickly opened her mouth to apologize, but before she could finish her words, the words coming out of Snape's mouth gave her a blow to the head.

"Because of you, Gryffindor will deduct three points..."

After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking at Hermione, who was stunned on the spot with an aggrieved look on her face.

As for Xiao Yiren, who was held in Hermione's arms, his face was full of helplessness. No wonder Snape attracted so much hatred...

At the same time, Xiao Yiren also looked at the floor that had been repaired by Snape.

"The preparation of potions is not that safe. An experimental error may cost you your life.

And this is just the simplest potion preparation.

Come to think of it, the fact that there are so few potion masters in the wizarding world may be due to the dangers of brewing potions.

If I am not talented in making potions, not only will the preparation fail and a lot of precious raw materials be wasted, but my life may also be in danger."

Just as Xiao Yiren was thinking, the old bat quietly walked up to Harry and Ron.

Walking behind Harry, Snape's eyes did not move. He glanced at Harry's face and then suddenly paused. Then without hesitation, he turned to look at Harry who was cooking tentacle slugs:

"Potter, why didn't you tell Neville not to add porcupine quills? Do you think it's okay to show off when he makes a mistake? Gryffindor lost another twenty points because of you."

Harry: "Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?"
