Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Chapter 14 Professor Snape’s Potions Class

When Nydia was still at Field Manor, Mr. Field had already taught Nydia how to use some simple spells. After arriving at Hogwarts, Nydia discovered that learning magic was not just about spells. They not only need to learn the history of the development of magic, but also learn to observe the trajectory of celestial bodies. Nidia had never been exposed to herbalism and potion making before, so the small spells Mr. Field gave her did not give her much advantage.

This situation made Harry breathe a sigh of relief. He has received great attention since the beginning of school. Wherever he goes, people will chase him and want to take a look at him. Even some teachers pay special attention to him.

Nydia had never seen Harry and Ron at breakfast time. She thought that Harry didn't come here specifically to avoid other people's attention on him. It wasn't until they showed up at the restaurant on Friday that Nydia realized they had just never been able to find their way to the restaurant.

"What classes do we have today?" Harry asked Ron.

"Take two Potions classes with the Slytherin students." Ron said. "Snape is the dean of Slytherin House. They say he favors his students. Now we can see if it is true." so."

When she heard that she was going to have classes with Slytherin students, Nydia looked up towards Slytherin House, but still could not see Draco. I haven't seen him in the past few days, as if he was deliberately avoiding Nidia. It's been several days, is he still angry with himself?

"Nitya!" Harry said suddenly.

"What? What's wrong?" Nidia had been thinking about her own things, so she didn't pay much attention to what Harry and the others were talking about.

"Hagrid wrote to me and asked me to go to his place for tea in the afternoon. Do you want to come with me?" Harry asked Nidia.

"Afternoon? Yes, but can I take Michelle with me?" Nidia and Michelle have been inseparable in the past few days, so she naturally thought of taking Michelle with her.

"I won't go there! You go ahead. I made an appointment with Fred and George in the afternoon, and they said they would take me to a secret passage." Michelle on the side heard the conversation between Nidia and Harry. She was more interested in hanging out with the Weasley twins in Hagrid's hut.

"Okay then," Nidia said.

The Potions classroom is underground, which is much cooler than the classrooms in the main building. There are some glass jars placed along the wall, and the animal specimens soaked in them make the whole atmosphere feel a bit weird.

Professor Snape was different from the teachers of other courses. When he called Harry's name, he did not faint with excitement like Professor Vernon, nor was he as calm and indifferent as Professor McGonagall. His tone was more like It's a taunt.

"Potter." Professor Snart suddenly asked Harry, "What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion?"

"I don't know, Professor," said Harry.

Harry looked at Ron, who was also confused. Hermione on the other side raised her hand. Hermione was really smart. Nidia felt that there was nothing she couldn't do. Even the most difficult transfiguration, she was the only one in the class who could light up the practice matches. Variety.

Professor Snape ignored Hermione's raised hand and continued to ask Harry, "Let's try again, Potter. If I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you look for it?"

"I don't know, Professor." Harry still couldn't answer, and Nydia saw Draco and several of his friends shaking with laughter because of Harry's answer.

"I take it you haven't read a single book before school started, right, Potter?" Hermione on the side still stretched out her hand, but Professor Snape still ignored her. "Miss Field."

"Yes, Professor." Professor Snape suddenly called to her, which made Nydia a little nervous.

"Can you answer the two questions just now for Mr. Potter?" Professor Snape looked at Nydia. Nydia felt that the way he looked at her was not as friendly as the way he looked at Harry. Maybe he was really as rumored. He is so partial to the students of his own college.

"Narcissus root powder and mugwort can be combined to form a powerful sleeping pill, which is the water of life and death, and bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow. It has a strong detoxification effect." Fortunately, these two Nydia knew the problem, and it was thanks to Hermione reading "A Thousand Magic Herbs and Trichoderms" in her dormitory last night, which made her memorize some of it.

Professor Snape didn't seem to expect Nydia to be able to answer it, but he didn't seem to give up, and then asked, "Then what is the difference between Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum lupus?"

Nitya, who had just breathed a sigh of relief and thought she had passed the test, was depressed again, Aconitum? She doesn’t remember this!

"I'm sorry, Professor, I don't know about this." Nidia could only answer truthfully. When Hermione heard Nidia say she didn't know, she immediately stood up and stretched her hand straight towards the ceiling of the underground classroom.

"Professor, I think Hermione knows the answer, why don't you ask her?" Harry said suddenly, and his words caused some people to laugh. This made Professor Snape very unhappy.

"Sit down," Professor Snape snapped at Hermione. "Let me tell you! Aconitum scapularis and Aconitum wolfsbane are the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum. Do you understand? Why don't you write these down."

Then there was a sudden rustling of quills and parchment. In the midst of the noise, Professor Snape said to Harry, "Potter, because you contradicted the teacher, one point was deducted from Gryffindor."

The next time, Professor Snape asked the students to work in pairs to prepare a simple potion to treat scabies. He basically scolded everyone except Draco. I don’t know if it was Professor Snape who compared Favor Draco, or Draco is really talented in potions.

Just when Professor Snape showed everyone how perfectly Draco cooked the tentacled slugs, Neville somehow burned his hot pot and deformed it, causing all the potion in the pot to spill out. It burned holes in the shoes of several classmates around him, and Neville himself was soaked in potion, with red and swollen scabies growing on his arms and legs.

"Idiot." Professor Snape roared, and he waved his wand to sweep away the potion on the ground.

Although he gave Neville a severe lesson, he still asked Seamus to take Neville, who was whimpering and crying, to the hospital. However, what was unexpected was that he actually blamed Harry for Neville's mistake and deducted another point from Gryffindor.

"Do you think Snape is biased or is he deliberately targeting Harry?" Michelle secretly said to Nydia while Professor Snape wasn't paying attention.

"I think he is just looking for an outlet! I don't think he is very friendly to me!" Nydia felt that Snape seemed to be dissatisfied with anyone except Draco, and she saw him teaching him a lesson. As a Slytherin student, his tone was not very polite.

"But at least he didn't deduct points from you." Michelle said.

Indeed, having been deducted two points in a class, Harry must be in a bad mood now. Nydia looked at Harry. He had a gloomy face now, and it was obvious that he was in a very depressed mood.

In the following time, Professor Snape continued to find fault with everyone's operation, which made everyone very nervous, even Hermione, who had always performed well, Professor Snape also found fault with her operation. , Nitya feels that probably every Friday morning will become the most difficult time in the future.
