Luke was sitting in the Potions classroom. The classroom was dark and cold. There were specimens of various magical animals or ordinary animals soaked in jars around the classroom, which made the place even less popular.
The smell in the classroom is very strange. There is no need to think about the fresh air or the smell of medicine.
The musty smell has an indescribable smell. All in all it doesn't feel very good.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Taylor looked at Luke with a strange look on his face.
Luke took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "I'm not good at potions. I'm not good at anything other than memorizing formulas and processes."
Taylor looked at Luke's frank but helpless expression and smiled. She covered her mouth and tried not to laugh out loud.
"It doesn't matter, I'm pretty good at it. If we are divided into groups later, I will help you."
Luke looked at Taylor a little surprised, but he soon felt relieved. Also, it is normal for children of wizard families to have potions talents, even if they are not as top-notch talents as Snape. But with more practice you can always reach the level of a normal person.
While Luke and Taylor were chatting, Snape suddenly opened the door and walked into the classroom swinging his bat-wing-like cloak.
"This lesson doesn't require you to foolishly wave your magic wand. Many of you don't even believe that this is magic. I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance. , you won’t really understand the liquid that flows into people’s blood vessels, the kind of temple magic that makes people feel dizzy and confused... I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing. That It’s just that you’re not the stupid fools I often encounter.”
He walked forward as he spoke.
When he finished his last words, he just walked to the podium, then turned around suddenly and looked at the students with cold and arrogant eyes.
Luke felt that Snape was almost reaching his limit in this area.
Of course, it would be more stylish if his hair could not reflect light in the sun.
However, the young wizards who have been suppressed will naturally not care about this small detail.
The students in the Snake Academy looked at their dean with admiration. Even the young wizards of the Lion Academy had to admit that after receiving so many zakats, the most impressive one was the unfriendly-looking teacher in front of them.
"Potter!" Snape suddenly asked in the silence, "What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion?"
He stared at Harry with eyes as sharp as daggers. Harry looked bewildered. Hermione raised her hand high.
Luke coughed slightly when he saw this.
Hermione glanced at him, and at the hint of his eyes, she put down her hand.
"Is your throat uncomfortable? Mr. Gunter?"
They seemed to be words of concern, but the cold tone made it sound like they were concerned about a dead person.
"Sorry Professor, it's a little bit."
Luke looked serious and said apologetically.
After hearing what Luke said, Snape looked at him deeply, and then said: "If you need anything, you can go to Madam Pomfrey."
"I will if necessary, Professor."
Luke responded.
He originally thought that Snape would stop probing Harry after he interrupted, but he really didn't expect that Snape would be so persistent.
After talking to Luke, he looked at Harry again.
"I don't know, sir."
Harry said awkwardly.
"Tsk tsk - it seems fame isn't everything."
Now even a fool could see that Snape was targeting Harry. After all, his sarcastic expression couldn't be more obvious.
Harry obviously didn't understand the source of Snape's hostility towards him. So he seems a little aggrieved now.
"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"
Hermione was very tempted to raise her hand to answer, but Luke's look just now made her give up this idea. And when she wasn't carried away by the desire to answer the question, Hermione also clearly felt that something was wrong with Snape.
What does he want to do? why is that?
Harry searched in his mind for a long time, but found nothing.
"I don't know, sir."
Malfoy and the others originally wanted to laugh. But looking at Luke's cold expression, they all restrained their desire to laugh at Harry. He made a cold face.
Therefore, none of the students in the Snake House laughed lightly, and then began to seriously think about the questions raised by Snape.
As for the students in the Lion Academy, some of them were already laughing out loud. But there was a solemn atmosphere in the classroom, which quickly extinguished their laughter.
Snape narrowed his eyes. The classroom atmosphere in front of him was a bit beyond his expectation. He couldn't help but look at Luke again.
Wasn't what Philius said an exaggeration?
He looked at Luke and said, "Last question, Harry."
With no one laughing at him, Harry cheered up and tried his best to answer the question.
“What’s the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?”
The cheery expression on Harry's face faded again.
"Sir...I don't know."
At this moment, Snape's eyes were not on Harry. But on Luke's body. He was examining Luke, as if he wanted to find something in him.
Luke didn't pay attention to Snape's gaze, he was just looking at Harry.
Seriously, he'd heard many answers to these three questions in his previous life. What is the foreshadowing of subsequent articles? For example, bezoar once saved Ron.
Some people also say that this is telling Harry about Snape's regrets about his mother.
Of course, some people say that this is just making things difficult.
Luke thought it all made sense, but when he actually faced Snape, Luke felt that these questions had any connotation and what connotation they had. Snape knew the answer later.
"What a pity, Potter." Snape said coldly, "Then Mr. Gaunt, why don't you share your opinion?"
Luke frowned, but then relaxed. Don’t talk about these three questions I’ve heard many times. Even if he really picked it from the book, he would still be sure.
"The answer to the first question is the Water of Life and Death, also known as the Decoction of Living Hell. It is a powerful sleeping pill. The answer to the second question is the stomach of a goat. The answer to the third question is no difference, collectively known as Aconitum."
Snape nodded.
"Slytherin, plus three points." Then he turned to look at Harry and more students, "Why don't you write down these questions?!"
Then the rustling notes in the classroom came to mind. Seriousness is written on everyone's face.
This state of serious study is so rare among first-year wizards.
Snape was a little depressed.
He took a deep look at Luke, wondering what he was thinking.
