A slender figure walked in from behind the door. He was wrapped in a black robe. On his sallow skin, a pair of cold eyes swept across the students around him.
Under his hooked nose, his thin lips were tightly pursed. Coupled with his greasy long hair, he looked no different from the evil wizards in Muggle stories!
Snape waved his wand as he made his way to the desk, and the curtains closed around him, blocking out the scarce sunlight and making the room even darker, with only the flickering light of the spirit lamps illuminating the room.
Snape picked up the roll call on the podium and slowly looked down at the young wizards who were stunned by his aura. He said in a low voice,"Next, I will call out the names according to the roll call. Whoever reads it will shout to make sure that no one dares to disappear in my class!”
"Angelina Johnson!"
"Here!"
"Fred Weasley!"
"Here!"
……
"Peter York!"
"Here!"
York Peter quickly shouted. He didn't want to be caught in the wrong again.
When he reached Peter's name, Snape paused, then continued.
said Snape in a low voice, staring at everyone when he had finished reading the list.
"You came here to learn the exquisite techniques of pharmacy. Since there is no foolish wand-waving here, many of you are not quite convinced that this is magic. I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of this pharmaceutical technology!”
At this point, Snape's originally cold face showed a hint of intoxication, and his calm tone fluctuated slightly.
"Think about it, when you use a cauldron to simmer medicinal ingredients, the potion will slowly boil, white smoke will curl up, and the liquid with incomparable exquisite power…I can teach you how to confuse people's senses, brew glory, and even prevent death…as long as you're not an idiot!”
After saying this, Snape looked at Peter York, who was sitting upright, and suddenly showed a hint of malice.
"Speaking of which, before the official lecture, I want to pick some students. Have you prepared beforehand to see if you are hopeless idiots?”
Hearing Snape's words, all the students began to stir, especially the students who had not reviewed and prayed anxiously not to be drawn. The students who had reviewed also kept memorizing the knowledge points in their minds.
"Silence!"
Snape shouted grimly to everyone around him, then turned to stare at Peter.
"Peter York! I want to ask what ingredients are needed for a scabies potion?”
Peter breathed a sigh of relief. This was the content of the first grade textbook. He answered seriously.
"Scabies Potion requires slugs with antennae, porcupine spikes, and snake teeth, Professor.”
"Then what kind of potion can I make with Flobberworm mucus, lavender, and valerian?”
"It's a sleeping potion, Professor.”
"If I need bezoars, where can I find them?”
"The bezoar in a cow's stomach has the effect of detoxification!”
After asking Peter three questions, Snape did not continue asking. Instead, he turned around and walked to the podium. After writing a few words with his head down, his expression returned to its original cold look.
"Five points to Slytherin! It's for Mr. York to prepare in advance."
"Ding! Obtained Professor's bonus points. Reward: 1 point! Current score: 32 points!" The system notification sounded in his mind.
Snape didn't ask any more questions, much to the relief of the other students, but the rest of the lesson cast a shadow over everyone's hearts.
During the process of making the potion, Snape was like a ghost, constantly wandering around all the students. His empty eyes carefully stared at every step of the students. If there was a slight mistake, he would mock the students who made the wrong step.
The potion that was being made this lesson was what Peter had answered Snape's first question: a scabies potion. Peter remembered the production process clearly, so he handled the materials in an orderly manner.
First, he placed the six portions of snake teeth into a mortar and ground them into powder.
Then, he poured the powder into the crucible.
He waved his wand and stirred for ten seconds.
Then, he chopped up four slugs and two porcupine thorns and placed them into the crucible.
Then, he stirred it five more times clockwise.
Waving his wand, completed!
Looking at the green liquid in the crucible, Peter nodded in satisfaction and poured the liquid into the prepared glass bottle.
When he looked up, Snape's empty eyes gave him a fright. He almost dropped the potion in his hand. He didn't know when Snape had appeared behind him.
"Are your hands made of mollusks? York Peter couldn't even hold a potion bottle!”
said Snape sarcastically.
He then picked up the scabies potion and showed it to everyone.
"Mr. York, the first to complete the production, and the completion is relatively good, Slytherin will receive five points!”
"Ding! You have received Professor's praise. You are rewarded with 1 point! Current points: 33 points!" The system prompted.
Snape put the potion that Peter had made into a special place for storage and continued to watch everyone.
Besides Peter, almost all the Slytherins were scolded. Apart from being scolded, the Gryffindor students were also severely punished.
After class, the Gryffindors walked out of the classroom dejectedly. Other than the Weasley twins, who quickly returned to their mischievous looks, they were quite talented in potions and were one of the few Gryffindors who did not have their points deducted.
After Potions, Snape's reputation as a terror was once again spread, and his class became a nightmare for the students. Hatch and Ravenclaw, who had not had Potions yet, were taking their Potions books and going over them again and again.
There was only one Potions lesson in the morning, so after the lesson, Peter was just about to go back to his dormitory with Allan White to rest when he was dragged to the Quidditch field by the Weasley twins.
"George Fred, why did you bring me to the stadium?”York Peter looked at the twins and asked helplessly.
The twins pretended to be mysterious.
"This is a surprise!"
"It's not fun to say it in advance.”
