After five days of brutal, er, special training, Hogwarts once again welcomed the weekend.
Potions: Because most potions require a long time to process and boil, the competition can only be set to an oral narration mechanism, that is, a quick answer mode.
According to the name of the potion proposed by the professor, you can answer the required materials and processing methods for the potion, which is commonly known as reciting the formula.
Although it doesn't sound very difficult, you must know that the professor of Potions class is Snape, a professor who is known as "mean" in the school. The memorization required by him is not just memorizing the potion formula in the textbook. Instead, we need to focus on the details of making the potion, some details that are not explained in detail in the book.
If you just endorse it, you will be sprayed all over by Professor Snape.
This resulted in an exceptionally small number of Gryffindor contestants in this competition...
But yes, not many Gryffindors would come here to touch this professor's brow. After all, this professor is famous for hating Gryffindors. He hates Gryffindors to the extent that he would specifically target Gryffindor students in class. We have reason to believe that this professor will not hesitate to favor Slytherin in this game!
But there are some Gryffindors who insist on participating, such as Grant.
This guy didn't care whether he would be targeted by Professor Snape, he just wanted to compete with Noah.
I have to say that it is courageous.
Therefore, when Professor Snape stood still in the classroom, his eyes also stayed on the Gryffindor sitting next to Noah for a while.
While he did appreciate those smart students, that didn't include Gryffindors.
Moreover, he has been paying attention to Noah recently, and he has no good impression of Gryffindor who intends to compete with Noah. After all, he thinks Noah is much better than Grant.
Yes, Professor Snape thinks Noah is better.
This is not just a preference for his own college, but a fact. He has always noticed Noah's excellence, especially since this student is quite popular with the professor. He has never been arrogant because of his outstanding talent. He is humble, studious, intelligent and polite. Calm and elegant, he is an excellent Slytherin. Although he may cause some trouble sometimes, it is not harmful. After all, the arrogance of genius is always deserved.
In comparison, this Gryffindor genius is much stupider.
In fact, Snape noticed Grant when he was in his first year, because when he tried to give Gryffindor a showdown in the first lesson, this guy stood up to save his new friend. At that time, he started from that The first grader saw the arrogance of a genius in his eyes.
This is not the first time he has seen something similar. There is actually no shortage of so-called geniuses in Hogwarts, but there are not many geniuses who can persist to the end, and besides, it is still a stupid Gryffindor.
Based on the impression of the first class, Professor Snape labeled the genius as "pussy", and he did not like such pushy geniuses.
It is conceivable that he would target Grant intentionally or unintentionally throughout the next year, but by the end of the school year, he had lost interest in ridiculing him.
He was keenly aware of this genius's disdain for other wizards, and shifted his focus to Muggle courses.
Snape is not a traditional Slytherin. At least he does not discriminate against wizards who are born in Muggle families. Moreover, he is one of the few professors who does not adhere to the traditional teaching model. Sometimes he will take the initiative to adopt Muggle teaching methods. Learn some experience.
But this does not mean that he supports students to take additional courses.
He didn't even fully grasp what was taught at Hogwarts, and had to teach himself Muggle lessons.
Who does he think he is, thinking he can take two courses together?
Professor Snape, who felt that this Gryffindor was too arrogant, simply gave up paying attention to this Gryffindor, and did not even intend to target him again.
Of course, the reason behind this is that Noah enrolled in school, and he paid more attention to this outstanding student.
But I didn't expect Grant to be interested in Noah later.
Probably the genius is arrogant and wants to compete with another genius.
But Noah was different from Grant. This little Slytherin always knew what he could learn, and worked unswervingly on it, eagerly absorbing any knowledge he could at an alarming rate.
He knew how good Noah was and how much effort he had made for this, so he had no doubt that Noah Lannister was better than Huard Grant. The results of several previous games had already given him It proves that Noah's performance will only be more outstanding in the future.
…
The result of the competition was naturally that Noah grabbed almost all the questions. As a "proud" student of Professor Snape, Noah clearly knew that if he lost in this game, the consequences would be needless to say. .
In comparison, successfully escaping from Professor Snape was subtly more rewarding than winning against Grant.
Not many people were surprised that Noah won this victory, especially Slytherin. They never thought that there would be other results in this game. Even if it wasn't Noah, it would definitely be a victory for other Slytherins.
However, there are exceptions, such as Grant who didn't get many questions from beginning to end.
When he left the classroom, he had a rare expression of defeat.
He was fully prepared for this game. After all, he had also joined the Potion Club and didn't think he would be much behind Noah in this aspect.
But during the competition, he failed to get a few questions at all. Noah's answering speed was always one second faster than him. He failed to get six of the sixty questions, and was completely crushed.
Two hours of high-precision thinking also made him feel tired, but Noah seemed to be fine with nothing at all, and he could nod and say hello when he looked over.
Watching Noah being surrounded and leaving the classroom, Grant lay on his seat and didn't move for a while.
Until a hand put on his shoulder: "Hey, you won't be passive here, will you?"
Grant looked up and fell back when he saw it was his roommate: "The loss was too tragic."
"If you think about it, it's Potions. If Slytherin loses to other houses in Potions, their dean will not let them go." His roommate tried to comfort him, "And the dean of Slytherin's Favoritism is well known.”
Who knows if this dean has "cheated" in private. He felt that given the professor's prejudice against Gryffindor, maybe the test question just now was also aimed at Gryffindor.
Grant heard the subtext, but disagreed: "I lost."
It is actually not difficult to admit one's failure, and Gryffindor also has the courage to admit it.
