Chapter 332 Professor, Have You Heard of the Name Lily?
An hour later, the little wizards who had finally taken care of the winter melon climbed out of the underground classroom exhausted along the steps.
Snape is not a person who likes to joke, and he really did not scare these first-year children - the raw materials used in the winter melon and shrimp skin soup served in the Hogwarts kitchen at noon today are what they processed in these two potions classes. Winter melon.
However, it was not until halfway through the course that everyone suddenly realized something.
If you count the faculty and staff at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, there are nearly a thousand people in total. It is not a simple process to supply ingredients to the entire school, even for just one of the dishes.
Perhaps for the convenience of teaching, the winter melons that appear on the desk are actually not too big. Elena's visual inspection revealed that the average weight is estimated to be in the range of five to ten kilograms.
If calculated according to the normal dish standards for one person, such a winter melon can make winter melon and shrimp skin soup for about thirty people at most. In addition, the clumsy little wizards will inevitably have troubles in the process of peeling and removing the flesh. waste situation.
Therefore, Professor Snape stipulated that everyone must cook two large winter melons alone before they can achieve the final goal.
In the wizarding world, fatigue is a false concept.
In order to ensure that every little wizard has enough energy to complete the two-hour knife training process, after listening to the advice of a little angel who did not want to be named, whenever a little wizard starts to cry out that he is tired, Snape, who was walking around the classroom, would draw out his wand and accurately cast a "Quick Recovery" spell.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, most of the little wizards could only think about the endless winter melons that seemed to be cut, the green winter melon skins that kept flying in front of them, and Professor Snape's A black figure flying around like a giant bat.
Of course, the hard work is not completely meaningless - under this kind of intensive and high-intensity training, most of the first-year wizards' knife skills have been promoted from zero to entry-level in just two classes. .
…
"That's almost it. I think maybe the portion for the night is enough."
In the potions classroom that was free again, Elena nodded with satisfaction while inspecting the pile of winter melon cubes cut by the little wizards, "Overall, the quality is still good, and nothing too outrageous has appeared. Lazy situation.”
When putting winter melon into dishes, the most important thing is not the heat and technique, but whether it is the right size.
Whether slicing or dicing, the most important thing is to keep the shape and size as consistent as possible, so that the cooking time can be uniformly controlled - if it is too large, it will be overcooked, and if it is too small, it will be overcooked, which will affect the final outcome. Taste problems after the dish is formed.
"It's too much waste. If you use such rough movements to peel wrinkled figs, it might take three or four of them to add up to one."
Snape casually picked up a piece of winter melon peel that was discarded on the table, took a look at the white melon flesh that was at least two centimeters thick inside, frowned and shook his head. It seemed that he needed to practice for a while longer.
"Besides, they are all a bit too squeamish."
The Potions Professor raised his head, looked at the little wizards who were almost helping each other out of the classroom, and raised his eyebrows slightly - just dealing with some ordinary vegetables that don't require a lot of brain work, and they are so tired, so what if in the future? If you want to brew some more complicated potions, there will be big problems.
"But, then again. Why are you still in the classroom?"
Snape put down the winter melon peel in his hand, turned his head to look at the few wizards still in the classroom, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"If I remember correctly, I announced the end of get out of class a few minutes ago. Miss Kaslana is the Potions Assistant and has the responsibility to stay and help me clean up the classroom. What is your reason?"
"I'm waiting for Elena to go back to the auditorium together."
Hermione hugged the "Magic Potions and Potions" in her arms tightly and replied nervously.
For her, this lesson was a huge setback in her confidence, which made Hermione Granger's originally arrogant and proud temperament suddenly shrink a lot.
Not to mention Elena Kaslana, whom she had always regarded as a strong opponent, directly became the assistant teacher of Potions class. Even Harry Potter, whom Hermione had never paid much attention to, also showed his talents in this class. He showed an overwhelming knowledge reserve and also earned Gryffindor House five extra points from the Potions class.
You know, since Snape took over as Potions Professor eleven years ago, this seems to be the first time that he has taken the initiative to give Gryffindor extra points in class - the meaning of this is even more important than the points themselves. important.
In the subsequent "Knife Skills Practice" course, Neville Longbottom, who had always been ridiculed for his clumsiness, suddenly emerged as a new force. He silently followed Snape's instructions and executed them all without any laziness.
Naturally, he became the second little wizard after Elena to complete the task of processing winter melons.
After this, Hermione, who was originally very motivated and wanted to shine in Potions class, became extremely ordinary, and Snape's impression of her only remained as - sitting next to Harry. girls, and girls who have a good relationship with Elena.
Snape curled his lips in disbelief. Although he couldn't understand this kind of friendship between little girls who even wanted to go to the toilet together, he had seen a lot of them over the years and didn't find it surprising.
"What about you, Potter? Are you waiting for Elena to finish class too?"
Looking past Miss A, who was a little nervous, Snape turned his gaze to the boy with glasses who sat in the middle of the classroom and never left, and asked softly in a slightly drawn-out voice.
As time went by, even if he was reluctant, Snape had to notice the face that was extremely similar to James Potter. This made his subtle emotion at the beginning of the class gradually begin to turn into a... A worse irritable mood.
"Professor, I...have another question to ask you."
Harry stood up with some anxiety, swallowed nervously, and subconsciously clenched his hands tightly, "Because it is not related to the content of the class, so I waited until after class..."
"what is the problem?"
Professor Snape glanced at the hesitant Harry Potter, frowned heavily, snorted with some displeasure, and tapped his fingers hard on the desk.
"If you have anything you want to ask, just ask directly. Don't waste time like this."
"Professor Snape, you have taught Potions at Hogwarts for so many years..."
Harry took a deep breath, looked straight at the wizard in front of him, and asked softly in a slightly trembling tone.
"Excuse me, do you know my mother? Or, have you heard of the name Lily Evans?"
