Ted got up half an hour earlier the next morning. The system was right. Wizards must not only master magic and be knowledgeable, but also be physically strong.
At the critical moment, he can be like Gandalf, wielding his staff and sword to deal with the enemy - casually breaking the demon hunter's legs~
So Ted told Hermione yesterday to meet her in the Great Hall tomorrow morning. He wants to get up early and go for a run.
Originally, Ted planned to run around the Black Lake.
But after standing on the edge of the black lake, I silently gave up this idea.
Damn it, it’s almost enough to let Ansu fly around. If I were to run around, I would probably have to have lunch.
It is estimated to be more than ten kilometers in a circle! Maybe there will be a half marathon!
After running for twenty minutes, Ted was panting and gave himself a "clean up". His 11-year-old body was still too weak and he really needed to exercise more.
However, he gained something. He gained 3 experience points from running, which was slightly better than nothing.
Mainly because he found a new psychic power - spiritual stimulation.
Anyone who is a long-distance runner knows that many times the body has not reached its limit, but the brain thinks that you have reached it.
But if you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, you will enter the next stage, and your brain will enter a blank space with development limitations~
Ted found a way to use psychic powers to stimulate his brain to break through the invisible limitations of the brain on the body.
Of course, this ability is also dangerous and cannot be used recklessly.
Excessive mental stimulation may cause the body's feedback to be ignored. If the body really reaches its limit, the brain's limitations will be gone, and it may collapse directly.
The next day was Charms, History of Magic and Herbology.
In addition to History of Magic, Ted answered three more questions and scored 10 points.
I learned nothing from the History of Magic class.
The main reason is that the ghost teacher, Professor Spencer, is just too arrogant. Hey, he’s just a jerk!
He walked through the wall and started reciting the text without even naming names.
There were no questions asked at all, and naturally no points were awarded. It's impossible to get rid of him.
If Ted was in college, he wouldn't laugh to death if he had such a teacher, but now he feels really uncomfortable!
Sure enough, he lay flat and restrained all exploitative methods, and no systematic time-travelers were recruited.
On the afternoon of the third day, we finally arrived at Snape's Potions class. There is only one big class per week, and the four colleges take it together.
The Potions classroom is in the basement. I don't know whether it's because the basement is cold and conducive to storing potions materials, or because Snape's office is underground.
Anyway, the environment here is not good.
Even though Hogwarts is a magic school, with thousands of years of magic covering the school, it still can't change the cold and dim character of the basement.
Coupled with the fact that half the wall of the classroom is filled with large glass jars filled with magical animal parts, it feels like being in the underground herbarium of a medical institute!
Ted was lucky enough to go there once in his previous life, and it happened to be that people were renovating a building, and all kinds of cabinets, jars, bags, and mummies were placed randomly - they were really not afraid of someone stealing them~
It feels as scary as entering Frankenstein's human laboratory.
This is how the Potions classroom feels to the freshmen. Even the little Slytherin snakes come to their dean's class and avoid the glass jars with pale faces.
If coupled with the gloomy old face of Snape, who was dressed in black robes and had long greasy black hair - this was no longer just Frankenstein's human laboratory - he was still a test subject!
Hermione complained to Ted before class: "I heard that Professor Snape never gives extra points to students from other houses!"
Ted curled his lips inwardly: No extra points? Then he hasn't met me, even if his heart is iron-clad? My ancestors were blacksmiths! For the mission, stop it!
Before class, Ted used [Ravenclaw's Wisdom (Blue)] to buff himself.
…
Ever since Snape slid in silently like a big black bat from outside the door, the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
He glanced at the students, and his eyes seemed to pause for a moment on Harley.
He opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was full of disdain: "You are here to learn the precise science and strict craftsmanship of preparing potions..." He spoke softly~
"Since there's no silly waving of wands here, many of you won't believe this is magic."
"I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance. You won't truly understand the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, the kind that makes people's hearts wander and their wills blur. Wonderful magic..."
"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the stupid fools I often encounter."
Ted: Listen, listen, what orthodox words!
I declare here, Snape, that your blood is pure!
Next comes Snape's question session. Like Professor McGonagall, he likes to give the new students a showdown.
As for who will serve as a teaching aid, let us randomly select an unlucky person~
Well, not randomly actually. It mainly depends on who Snape is upset with.
This time, Harry was definitely no longer Snape's target.
As for the boy Neville who was lucky enough to survive, Snape was not interested at all.
Therefore, Ted, who has always had a "smirk" on his face since he spoke just now, became his target.
It can be seen from his attitude towards Hermione in the original book that he dislikes students who are flamboyant and like to be in the limelight. Maybe it was influenced by James Potter and a few others.
"Epiphanes! Stand up!"
"Answer me, what do you get when you add narcissus root powder to a mugwort infusion?"
Snape suddenly turned his head and made a sneak attack.
"One dose of the Water of Life and Death, Professor." Ted's smile disappeared and his expression was extremely calm. It was as if Snape's sneak attack had been predicted and prepared.
"If you were asked to find a piece of bezoar, where would you look for it?"
"In the cow's stomach."
“What’s the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?”
"There is no difference. They are collectively called Aconitum."
Snape came up with a triple sword attack, but Ted blocked it.
Unable to break through the armor~
But how could Snape give up so easily?
He directly increased the difficulty, and the questions were no longer limited to first-grade textbooks.
"Why do slugs need to remove their mucus and dry them in the shade before use?"
Ted understands this problem very well. A slug that dies in his hands can circle Diagon Alley three and a half times!
"Because slug mucus is originally a cheap material, it is stripped off to increase income. Moreover, it will have a slight effect on many magic potions if it is directly dried and used without removing the mucus and washing it."
Snape was also stunned. He really didn't expect Ted to be able to answer this question - this is not something in the textbook, but knowledge that can only be learned in practice. At least the textbooks don't mention the issue of increasing income.
"So, what should you pay attention to when collecting parachute mushrooms?"
"Be careful not to collect the stipes. The stipes of the toadstool are highly toxic and have a strong hallucinogenic effect. Once mixed into the potion, it will seriously cause the death of the drinker."
As the saying goes, the umbrella is red and the umbrella is white. After eating, we lie down together.
This potion ingredient was a herb that Mr. Slug allowed Ted to handle during his last week working in Diagon Alley.
“Where can grass ridge insects usually be found?”
"A dark bush full of magic."
…
There were another five or six questions in a row, and the other students were dumbfounded by this "rapid attack and defense battle".
Then Ted finally couldn't answer.
Snape squinted his eyes, raised his head, and made a disdainful expression: "I thought you knew everything and didn't need to take this class!"
Then he yelled at the other students: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you write down this knowledge? You know everything, right?!" Incompetent and furious~
Snape's heart was screaming: What's going on? Did I almost roll over? !
He still has his own pride. If he hadn't asked directly about the formula of the elixir, Ted would definitely not be able to answer it.
It needs to be both basic and unfamiliar.
He himself was completely unprepared mentally, and he was embarrassed just by thinking about the problem.
Students: Mad, what’s going on? We did nothing and got scolded! Are you under a spell even while lying down? !
The first ten minutes of the first Potions class were spent with Snape pretending and asking questions.
Snape asked a lot of questions, but then he didn't give any points!
Ted: Mudd, Snape's heart is not only made of iron, but also made of black iron. He has a black heart!
Snape: Because I was caught in the rain, I broke other people's umbrellas no matter what.
Next he started to explain the content of the first lesson.
In addition to basic theory and the use of equipment, this class also teaches the method of brewing scabies potion.
This potion can treat many skin problems.
You definitely need to practice Potions!
So nearly an hour after Snape talked about the process and precautions, he let everyone get started~
The crucible, stirring rod, grinding bowl, scale, silver knife...are all arranged.
For some, this can be as dangerous as dissecting yourself!
"Ding~Trigger the task:
[The young wizard’s first magic potion (green)]
Although Snape's character is not very good, his level is good. Now he has taught you how to make scabies potion and the key points to pay attention to, so give it a try yourself!
Goal: Complete the configuration of the first magic potion in your life.
Reward: 200 experience, card [Neville's failed scabies potion (green)].
Deep feelings and a dull mouth. After finishing this drink, there are three more to go! "
Fortunately, although Black-hearted Snape doesn't give any extra points, at least it's not completely without gain.
Cut the medicinal materials, weigh them, heat the oil in a pan, add a wide amount of oil to the pan, and fry until both sides are golden brown, and the little smell comes out immediately. Malfoy at the next table is so greedy that he cries...
