"What are you doing?" Montague was so confused that he saw Noah fetching a book and started reading.
"Preview before class." Noah didn't even raise his head. "I think I might run into a little trouble in class."
Montague and Warrington were still confused, not understanding what they meant.
When class actually started in the afternoon, the two of them understood Noah's foresight.
Today, students from Hufflepuff were in class with Slytherin. There were not many people in either house, only thirteen people in total. The potions classroom for first-year students was relatively large, so it seemed a bit empty.
Professor Snape walked quickly into the classroom, his loose black robes flying back and making a sound in the wind brought by his movement.
He walked quickly to the desk and glanced at the first-year wizards present with his dark eyes, making them sit up subconsciously.
Professor Snape looked away without saying a word, then picked up the roster and began to call names one by one. Fortunately, no little wizard would think of being late for the first Potions class.
After calling the names, Professor Snape threw the list on the table and crossed his arms: "This course is to teach you the quiet science and strict craftsmanship of potion preparation."
His gloomy eyes swept over everyone, looking extremely scary in this dark classroom that was located underground. He lowered his voice with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Because this class doesn't require you to be stupid. waving a magic wand, so there are always some idiots who think it's not magic. Of course, I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of a slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance, nor do you really Understand the magical magic that flows into people's blood vessels, making people feel fascinated and confused."
"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death -" he prolonged his voice, "but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the kind of idiots I often encounter."
This opening statement was enough to make this group of first-year wizards speechless, but they all had a common understanding - the Potions teacher seemed to be very fierce!
Just when the young wizards were worried about their future academic careers, the professor suddenly raised his voice.
"Lannister!"
Noah stood up as expected.
"What are the consequences of rashly touching the leaves of the hyena tree?" Snape looked at Noah aggressively.
"Can induce hysteria and uncontrollable laughter, Professor." Noah answered calmly.
“What is the sting of the Billywig bug?”
"It is a slender sting that grows from the bottom of the body of the Billywig. It is also a magic material. People stung by the sting will be dizzy and then sway around. However, if there is serious allergic reactions, and the sting can cause a person to become permanently airborne."
"Hmph, showing off, but you deserve praise for previewing the textbook in advance. Ten points for Slytherin. Sit down."
He turned to another Hufflepuff student to ask a question.
"Awesome!" Meng Tai, who was sitting in front of him, lowered his voice and said to him in a low voice.
But more people still admire him for his anticipation.
Eve on the side lowered her voice: "Professor Snape should not make things difficult for you anymore. He has always favored the students of his own college."
"For the sake of my good performance." Noah recorded the question just now and looked at the student who was unfortunately called up by Snape.
This is a little witch with brown hair and brown eyes. She looks a little nervous. When Snape asked questions, this little witch even trembled a little.
Noah looked away, showing no intention of helping.
But the other Hufflepuff students would not sit idly by. Cedric raised his hand and tried to help his classmates from the same house.
Snape did not change the person immediately, but changed the question and continued to ask the little witch.
This time the little witch stumbled and answered. It was obvious that she had previewed the question, but was just too nervous to answer normally.
Snape then gave up.
He didn't embarrass these little wizards anymore, he just asked them to write down these questions and answers with pens, and then asked them to open the book and start learning how to make the first potion.
Snape is a practical person, so after he explained the precautions for making this simple potion, he divided the students into two groups to make this potion.
It is worth mentioning that Morgan obviously became the one who was alone. Snape mocked him for not even finding a companion, but still inserted him into Montaigne and Warrington's group.
Although Montaigne, Warrington and Morgan didn't get along very well, they had no objections to the professor's arrangement at this moment.
Noah is naturally in the same group as Eve.
What they want to make is a simple potion that can cure boils. Even the name is "Boil Cure Potion". As a primary potion, the method is naturally very simple.
But little wizards who are just starting to get into potions will inevitably be careless. For example, when cutting plant materials, they cut them into the wrong size. Some little wizards even don't cut them at all and just throw them in hastily.
Snape shuttled between the tables, scolding all the little wizards in one circle, and even Noah was not spared.
Well, Noah was distracted for a moment, but it didn't last long, because he remembered that in the book, the "pustule elimination potion" seemed to have very similar ingredients to the "boil cure potion". This slight act of desertion was still keenly noticed by Snape.
Noah, who was scolded, continued to make the potion in his hand honestly and did not miss any more.
Eve obviously didn't like those slugs with tentacles, and didn't want to touch them directly. As a result, she was scolded severely by Snape, and in the end she could only cook such disgusting things with a stiff face.
But something unexpected happened suddenly at this moment. The color of the potion in a crucible began to become brighter, turning into a dark green, and then spurted out like lava. The little wizard at the table was so frightened that he immediately ran away and almost died. Being splashed.
"Idiot!" Snape roared, cleaning up the spilled liquid with a wave of his wand, "You're too angry!"
The two other little witches in Slytherin were scolded. They stood at the table helplessly as they were scolded, not daring to say a word to refute.
This was just the beginning. After Slytherin, Hufflepuff also made mistakes one after another. They either forgot to add porcupine quills or failed to cook the slugs properly.
After one class, the little wizards guessed that there was some kind of shadow on the Potions class, a terrifying shadow named "Professor Snape".
Not to mention them, even Noah felt that Snape's roar was lingering in his ears.
