Chapter 25 Potions class is so scary
Andrew sincerely hopes that his roommate will be able to figure out the hidden things in the complicated history of magic - it is best to become an expert while in school, and then think for a few minutes when he is curious and ask for help, providing ancient magic with active periods and generally doubtful ones. Information like wizards.
It's just that the employment field in this field is inherently smaller than in other fields. The trustees of Hogwarts will never consider hiring another history of magic professor besides Professor Binns.
The students of their current class didn't know if it was because of Harry Potter, but almost all subjects had the best professors assigned as tutors. From this point of view, the whole grade was influenced by Harry Potter.
The History of Magic course is one of those courses that has only one professor, which is almost the exception.
In the process of simply making up lies for Hughes, the two came to the library and had to interrupt the pleasant exchange. After that, they each borrowed the books they needed - Hughes is a history of magic. For information, Andrew borrowed a reference material from a book that he did not understand.
After finding an empty table to meet, the two of them immersed themselves in their own worlds.

The next day, Andrew rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed. Thanks to the reference book he read yesterday, he finally figured out the so-called things to pay attention to when using transfiguration. What it is like to remain whole when you can disperse.
But that was just a matter of figuring it out, and a lot of training was needed in the follow-up. However, he tried without success until he went to bed yesterday.
Although he had the intention to try again in the morning, it was obviously impossible. The first class of the day was Potions class.
In the words of the senior class in the common room, if you don't plan to feel the cold violence coming all the time for at least the next five years, then you can try to act a little stupid in class.
If you feel that life is too unchallenging, then you can try to challenge the Head of Slytherin.
A powerful fact can prove how unwilling the dean was to hide his daily life - Slytherin successfully won the House Cup for six full years under the dean's favor.
"But I don't know where I read the reviews, saying that Professor Snape's reputation is not bad."
During the discussion in the common room at night, Andrew asked a slightly disguised question based on the impression in his mind, which then caused the entire lounge to revel.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"What a great joke!"
"A joke that would definitely be on the front page of the Daily Prophet!"
"A new product comparable to Dumbledore's first-of-school banquet joke! (Ah, you missed it, what a pity...)"
During the very sincere science popularization in the senior class, Andrew finally understood the record of the Potions Professor - he could always deduct points from other houses whenever he pleased, just like he would give it to himself on any trivial excuse. The academy gets the same bonus points.
That's not all. The Potions Professor also likes to verbally attack students, and can use various methods to find the worst-performing students and kill them as a warning to others.
But in terms of strength, the Potions professor is also the strongest. He has real things and teaches real things - compared to the occasional Defense Against the Dark Arts class that does not have parallel imports and the History of Magic that is read from the textbook, the Potions class is still worth it. Invest your energy in studying hard.
"And be kind to us. As long as you are not stupid and don't deliberately find fault, Gryffindor is miserable. That professor chooses a victim from Gryffindor every year..."
hiss…
It's simply subversive impression destruction.
But Andrew's main thing is to listen to advice, especially on this kind of thing.
Therefore, he and his roommates rushed to the underground classroom of Potions class early.
That's right, they found a seat slightly behind, and this professor is not like a gas-saving lamp at all - he was named in the first class... Probably everyone has a fairly complete inheritance of this, and no one Dare to skip class.
But it was no use - one Hufflepuff was deducted a point for being disheveled.
"You are here to learn the precise science and exacting craft of potion preparation - I find it hard to believe that you can take potions seriously when you cannot even sort them out yourself.
"Idiots are not welcome in my class. Although I don't expect every one of you to understand the charm of potions, I hope there will be fewer idiots and idiots - although this wish will always fail to come true."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at a student who was about to open the book
"One point from Ravenclaw - it's not time for you to pick up your quill!"
The temperature in the classroom has dropped a bit.
"You don't really understand the magical power of the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which makes people's hearts and minds blurred..."
'Why doesn't this sound like a legal thing...'
Andrew was distracted and forced himself to stop - fortunately, he interrupted quickly enough so that no points were deducted.
Probably because Gryffindor is used to picking victims, students from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were not singled out for attack, but in the first potion test, everyone was attacked differently. Attacks - occasionally with a few points deducted, but they are all at the level of one point, but they can't stand up too many times.
Andrew was not spared either. Although he tried hard to abide by the laboratory rules, his method of crushing the venomous snake's fangs was still seriously criticized.
"What I need are crushed snake fangs, not bone fragments smashed by someone stupid - one point from Ravenclaw."
Although rough, Andrew noticed a difference when he rehandled the snake's teeth.
Magic potion is not a simple chemical experiment, the materials it uses are too magical...
The crushed snake fang powder had little bits of light, but the one he smashed before lost its luster because of such a slight difference.
Even if Andrew grinds it again, it still can't change the problem - because the processing method is different, the material becomes two things completely.
It’s simply outrageous…
Andrew complained in his heart and followed the steps strictly, but the result still did not reach the ideal state - the snake teeth he processed for the second time were not effective enough because they were left a little longer during the verification...
No doubt, another taunt, but no points deducted.
Perhaps it was because too much was deducted - at this moment Andrew already understood why everyone else said that this professor won the Academy Cup by himself, and he really deducted points.
'Both of our houses are like this...I'm afraid Gryffindor...it is said that this professor will continue to put pressure...hiss...'
Andrew was reminded of this question as he left the Potions classroom to take a breath of fresh air and praise it...
Very good, he finally understood why this professor had such a reputation.
