Chapter 1417 Different

Although Xu Yue's main purpose of taking classes was just to obtain the knowledge and explanations he needed, he did not deliberately demonstrate his talents and abilities.

He just perfectly completed the tasks assigned in class, but even so, after the Transfiguration class was over, his reputation as a genius was already spreading among the students at Hogwarts.

"have you heard of it……"

"I'm telling you..."

"Bala bala~"

"..."

It was in such a chaotic environment that Xu Yue, surrounded by the freshmen from Gryffindor, came to the Potions class.

Before class started, several freshmen were chattering around him asking questions.

How do you practice magic spells?

Are there any tricks?

Have you practiced in advance?

And so on.

"Hmph, don't you know? Although he is a young wizard, he is allowed to use wands outside of school, so mastering a few spells before school starts is nothing."

"If it wasn't only for students from Muggle families, I would have been on this list a long time ago."

Malfoy looked at Xu Yue surrounded by the crowd and seemed a little jealous.

In fact, Xu Yue did not have a bad relationship with Malfoy on the train, and even gave him a chance to step down.

But there is no way, his character is like this. Although Xu Yue is not as well-known in the wizarding world as Harry, at least he is praised by all the stars in the classroom in front of him.

Naturally, it aroused the jealousy of this proud little boy, and he even ignored his old enemy Harry Potter for a while.

But at this moment, Professor Snape, who looked as cold as a big bat, walked into the classroom.

Under that cold aura, the scene immediately fell into silence, and all the initial discussions were automatically silenced.

"I heard someone from Gryffindor say something about being a genius or not. If it affects classroom discipline, Gryffindor will deduct five points."

They had just met, and Snape had already taken the lead.

This guy who defends his shortcomings is well-known in Hogwarts. He is not stingy about giving extra points to Slytherin students, and he is constantly looking for trouble for students in other houses.

However, although he himself has some bad character, it is undeniable that he is a 'good person' in nature.

Of course, this bad character makes it hard to like him.

Seeing that he had suppressed the entire audience with his arrogance, Snape was satisfied and announced the rules of his classroom.

"I don't need you to wave your wands or mutter in my class. In fact, I don't expect many of you to truly understand the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of potion preparation."

While saying this, he looked in the direction of the Slytherin students, especially Malfoy for a moment.

"However, for the few talented elites, I will teach you how to make people fascinated and confused. I will teach you how to enhance your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death!"

It has to be said that Snape's teaching ability is actually very strong. He first suppressed the audience and took the lead, and then immediately used that inspiring tone to arouse the desire of many students.

"So, is the genius you mentioned before our savior, Mr. Potter? Now, please, Mr. Potter, answer my question."

Harry Potter:? ? ?

“Please tell me what I get by adding daffodil root powder to mugwort infusion?”

Harry Potter:? ? ?

"Don't know? Okay, then again, Mr. Potter, where can we find a piece of bezoar?"

Harry Potter:? ? ?

"Mr. Potter..."

"Mr. Potter..."

The continuous machine gun-like questions knocked Harry Potter out of his body and his eyes were blank.

Wait, what does this have to do with me!

"Ahem~ Professor, although it's not a good idea to interrupt you, the person you were talking about before may be me."

Looking at Harry who was already in a trance, Xu Yue stood up and took matters into his own hands.

Someone originally interrupted him, but Snape's face darkened and he became furious, and he was about to deduct a heavy point directly.

But after seeing Xu Yue's face, his expression gradually slowed down, and he quickly calmed down. He suppressed his anger and said to the school's sponsor.

"Classmate Xu Yue, please sit down and wait for me to finish."

"Yes, Professor, the genius we were discussing before was classmate Xu Yue. It was his perfect performance in the Transfiguration class that made everyone..."

"Shut up! Mr. Potter, ten points from Gryffindor for interrupting."

Harry Potter:? ? ?

But at this time, Snape had already understood in his heart that the genius he had boasted about before was really the financial backer.

Was this all slapped in the face by him with gold galleons?

It seems normal when I think about it.

I just didn't expect that rigid Professor McGonagall to be so flexible.

Yes, if we turn him into a top student to show the teaching level of our Hogwarts, then the donations for next semester will probably be even more, and a lot of equipment can be replaced with new ones...

For a moment, even the rigid Snape's face softened a lot.

"Student Xu Yue has the courage to take responsibility. Five points for Gryffindor."

Harry Potter:? ? ?

"Ahem~, then let's get to the point now..."

Snape was definitely an excellent Potions master. Although the class was very stressful, his understanding of herbs and potions was absolutely unimaginable.

Xu Yue is indeed extremely talented. He is a born saint. He has read several books on potions. He has even successfully prepared potions himself. His higher-level vision and perspective are also very broad.

But there is no doubt that he still has a lot of shortcomings when it comes to some of the weird medicinal properties of plants in the wizarding world.

Even just a basic course can be very beneficial.

In terms of gains, it is higher than the previous Transfiguration class.

Of course, what I gain more is the derivative meaning of the medicinal properties, not the basic medicines taught in this potion class itself.

But even so, it would be easy to mix the potions required for this lesson to achieve perfect results.

After all, it is just a basic potion. It does not involve any complicated pharmacological conflicts. It is just a simple fusion. If you master the weight, timing, and heat, you can naturally prepare it perfectly.

Looking at the potion prepared by Xu Yue with a confused face, Snape seemed to want to look for any potion bottles nearby.

Because high-quality commercial products sold directly to the outside world probably only have this effect at most.

It seems easier to buy a copy and put it here as a finished product.

But it is obvious that whether he accepts it or not, this is indeed matched by the other party...

Snape had seen a lot of successful preparations of potions in the first lesson, but as a potion master, the gap between the perfect potion in front of him and the passing potion that he had just succeeded in was definitely beyond imagination.

It's bigger than a first-year freshman and a graduated adult wizard!

Is this the so-called genius?

Totally unbelievable!

At first, Snape was still looking for Jin Gallon's face, but now it was more than that.

"You can come to my office if you have time in the future. You should have some energy to learn other things besides the usual courses."

After Snape took Xu Yue's medicine away, he turned around and left the classroom with a big stride.

For the benefactor, I don’t need to pretend to hide my good feelings, I just need to teach as much as possible...
