Chapter 255 Subsequent Impact and Rumors
The main hall on the first floor of Hogwarts.
Lunch time is approaching, and students scattered across the school castle gather in twos and threes in the hall, sitting at the long table and chatting, while waiting for the delicious food to appear on the white plates.
However, as time goes by, the topic in the hall has gradually shifted from the discussion of the mysterious and wealthy Mr. "Otto Apokalis" to the first-year little wizard who has just arrived in the restaurant - to be precise Said, it was the little guys from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff who had just finished the [Potions·Cooking·Class].
Suck~smooth.
Justin Finch-Fletchley waved his arms and said happily to Ron Weasley and Harry Potter at the next table.
"It turns out that the senior class has been scaring us all this time - just like those nasty jokes at the beginning of the branch. Sister Elena is right, Professor Snape is just not that good at expressing emotions, but it is definitely me The best professor I've ever had. You can't imagine how interesting Potions class today was."
"If I could, I'd rather have a Potions class with Professor Snape every day."
Ron raised his eyebrows and curled his lips, disbelief written all over his face:
"But every time George and Fred mention Professor Snape during the holidays, they don't seem to have any good comments. As far as I know, Professor Snape's class has always had the most points deducted."
"Come on, Ron, your twin brothers always speak very exaggeratedly. Anyway, I only believe the facts I see. Professor Snape even gave Elena a point in class today - you know, Just before class, Elena contradicted Professor Snape once."
Ernie McMillan next to him shrugged and retorted vaguely while sucking greedily on the snail shell in his hand.
Not to mention that what you see with your eyes is belief and what you hear with your ears is illusion.
Trust between people is built up bit by bit.
Whether it is the moonlight that illuminates the winding mountain road, or the extremely reliable simulated branch; whether it is the extra training intensity of leading by example, or the bold and exciting plan to rob the kitchen; whether it is the reliable figure who actively cuts off the back, or sitting in the potion The precise operation at the front of the classroom serves as a standard demonstration...
Compared with those senior students and even all adult wizards who have been exaggerating the horror and difficulty of the sorting ceremony since they entered the school and are very secretive about the rules and regulations of the entire school. They have always been honest with others, set an example, and are considerate and reliable. Elena is obviously much more believable.
Not to mention, with Elena's help, all the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards successfully completed the first potions class practice in their lives and made a very successful [cheese bake] snails】.
As a result, Elena's reputation in the hearts of this group of little guys has almost soared to the full value in one breath - there is an essential difference between her own strength and her ability to make those around her successful.
"No, Professor Snape is very strict. I clearly saw him lecturing people at the door of the classroom."
Hermione frowned, her tone full of doubt.
"Professor Snape is the coldest and most terrifying professor in the whole school. So many Gryffindor seniors also say that. It's not like every one of them has colluded to lie to us. This Not logical."
"Cold and strict? Maybe, but Professor Snape, the most terrifying professor in your mouth, took us all to catch snails next to the Forbidden Forest during class break. Unexpectedly."
Justin Finch-Fletchley wagged his fingers with a look on his face and nodded his chin towards the snail shell in Ernie's hand.
"Here, that's the big snail that Ernie and I caught by hand next to the Forbidden Forest. It was used as the raw material for making [cheese-baked snails] in the potion practice stage of the second class."
"Catching snails? [Baked Snails with Cheese]?"
Hearing Justin's explanation, Hermione's eyes showed confusion, and she shook her head subconsciously, "No, the first period of Potions class should be about [Scabies Treatment Potion]. I've obviously memorized it..."
"Don't forget, Hogwarts has changed, Granger."
It was rare to see the always arrogant "Second Sister" confused. Justin Finch-Fletchley smiled, crossed his arms and imitated Elena's tone.
"It is undoubtedly a great disrespect for potions and one's own safety to let a beginner who doesn't even master basic knife skills and cooking skills start directly with potion preparation. As Professor Dumbledore said, Huo Gwarts is going through an unprecedented crisis, and each of us needs to contribute some small effort to the school."
"Medicine and food come from the same source. Just as various magic potion recipes correspond to different potions, different cooking processes will also produce established dishes - whether it is brewing [Pharmacion to Treat Scabies] or cooking [Baked Snails with Cheese], In essence, it is a process of processing and combining materials. Apart from the different final results, there is no difference in the relevant knowledge learning.”
There is no doubt that Elena has carefully prepared for several months, and she can even impress a potions master like Severus Snape with her words to deal with Hermione Gig who only carefully previewed the textbooks for a month. Ranger, it’s really too simple.
And for an obedient student like Hermione, just the two labels "Professor Snape accepted it" and "Professor Dumbledore recommended sharing" are enough to dispel all the remaining doubts in her mind.
"Has the procedure for Potions been changed? Oops... I haven't previewed the new content at all."
The next moment, Hermione's expression suddenly changed and she said anxiously.
"Do you have any notes? Can you lend them to me?"
"Don't worry, we haven't rehearsed before, so we all succeeded the first time. Granger, you are so smart, you must be fine. In fact, according to Professor Snape, the whole process is the same as the [Scabies Treatment Potion] The process is very similar.”
Ernie McMillan shrugged and said relaxedly.
"However, Granger, if you really want to know more information, wouldn't it be better if you go directly to Sister Elena? Our whole class follows the standard moves of Sister Elena and learn step by step. Complete the operation in the same way.”
"Speaking of which, I really want to taste the food made by my eldest sister...it must be delicious, right? After all, Professor Snape couldn't help but eat it all in one go. If eldest sister Elena can feed it with her own hands, I, of course, would be better..."
As he spoke, Ernie pictured that picture in his mind, with a silly daydreaming smile on his face.
The same scene and dialogue happened to almost every Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw first year.
There is no doubt that whether it is Professor Snape with his sudden change of painting style or the cheese-baked snails exuding an alluring aroma, they are enough to ignite the curiosity of all students - the entire auditorium erupts in small-scale exclamations from time to time. Voice.
Amid the discussions about the reform of the Food and Potions classes, Professor Snape's secret love history, the reason for Professor Snape's cold expression, and the Professor's unspeakable painful past are also discussed in "Don't tell others, I just The promise of "Tell You Someone" slowly spread among the students for the first time.
However, for these stories to truly explode in power, it will take a period of brewing and an opportunity to promote them.
Sure enough, all this was caused by that lecherous white-haired dumpling.
"Don't think about it, she will choke you to death."
Hermione glanced at Ernie MacMillan who was caught in a daydream, raised her eyebrows in displeasure, and slapped Ernie on the forehead hard in annoyance, pulling the little boy out of his fantasy.
While talking, Hermione looked at the cheese-baked snails on the tray beside the little boy, and her stomach growled slightly unconsciously.
"Okay, I understand. Leave a cheese-baked snail for me to study. I will ask Elena for more details later in the herbal medicine class in the afternoon."
——This is for learning and reference, well, it is definitely not because she is hungry.
Unknowingly, Hermione seemed to have some traces of Elena in her body.
"No...Second Sister, this is the only one we have left."
Justin Finch-Fletchley and Ernie MacMillan looked shocked, suddenly came to their senses, and begged pitifully.
"Hannah and Susan should have a lot more over there, and they're more delicious than what we cook, otherwise..."
Based on this week's experience, all the little wizards have almost summarized an unwritten first-year power system.
When Elena is present, all glory naturally goes to the eldest sister.
When the eldest sister is away, Hermione Granger and Hannah Abbott are in the first sequence at the same time. Once there is a conflict with one of them, the wisest thing to do is to call the other "second sister" to buffer .
"Hannah?"
Hermione raised her head and glanced at Hannah Abbott, who was sitting uncharacteristically quietly at the Hufflepuff long table, looking at the door of the auditorium in a daze, her face turned red unconsciously - for some reason, since that short period in the morning After whispering about Bai Mao Tuanzi, she suddenly felt that Hannah was not so difficult to contact.
"Speaking of which, it's strange...why Elena didn't come to the auditorium with Hannah."
At this moment, Hermione suddenly realized what the absent-minded Hannah was waiting for.
Obviously, for some unknown reason, Elena did not leave the classroom with Hannah at the end of get out of class.
"Could it be that Professor Snape and Professor Dumbledore..."
