Chapter 28 [Potions Class]

"Rock Anderson! If I ask you to help find a piece of fecal stone, where would you find it?"

Rock was a little helpless. He didn't expect that he would be the lucky one.

"In the stomach of the goat, professor."

Snape nodded, and then looked at the little wizards around him.

Feeling Snape's cold gaze, the little Ravenclaw wizard next to him immediately picked up a pen and started to take notes, and the little badger of Hufflepuff immediately followed suit.

But Snape did not stop his questions:

"If I want to make a refreshing potion, what are the main ingredients I need to buy?"

"Hocklapp juice and white fresh leaves, professor."

Snape was a little surprised, but continued to ask:

"What are the seven methods of brewing potions?"

"Decoction, brewing, maceration, ointment, poultice, tincture, lotion. From page 7 of "Magic Potions and Potion". Professor."

These questions are not difficult. They are all first-grade knowledge and there is no content beyond the syllabus.

Snape smiled softly. He didn't expect that this little wizard seemed to have more than just a little talent in spells.

He immediately jumped the difficulty level and vowed to set a strong example in the potion class: "If I want to make a polyjuice potion, how should I do it?"

Hermione's eyes widened immediately.

She began to feel lucky that she had learned a little about this knowledge after Rock mentioned it.

The teacher really asked questions! She guessed it!

Snape had closed his eyes and began to expect the other party to ask: "Professor, what is a polyjuice potion?"

But there was no one.

Rock answered the question calmly.

"The raw materials required include lacewings, leeches, sap grass, two-ear grass, powdered two-horned beast horns and fragments of African tree snake skin. When making it, first add three portions of sap grass picked during the full moon into the crucible..."

Snape was stunned. He didn't think Rock could answer this question.

At this time, he thought of what Dean Flitwick said in the lounge. He said that Rock had taught himself all the standard spells from grade one to grade seven, and was proficient in wandless and silent casting.

This is ridiculous. You might as well say that he can graduate early.

Snape continued to ask: "What are the characteristics of the main ingredient of the joy potion, the albizzia?"

"The albizzia likes a warm, humid and sunny environment, with a slight fragrance and a light taste. It also has a calming effect, mainly treating depression, chest tightness, insomnia, forgetfulness, eye diseases, neurasthenia and other effects."

Okay! Snape now believes it a little bit.

"How many portions of sedge are needed to add to the fox charmer potion?"

"Five portions, professor."

"How many portions of vanilla peel are needed for the invisibility potion?"

"No one is needed. The invisibility potion only needs parasitic bacteria, twigs of two-eared grass and the snot of the troll, professor."

...

The students on the side couldn't keep up with Snape and Rock's questions and answers at all, and the pen in their hands was about to smoke!

Speak slower, both of you!

In this cold potion room, as the questions and answers continued, Snape actually felt a little hot.

The other party deliberately added "Professor" at the end of each time, which looked very obedient, but that plain expression made him particularly uncomfortable, as if he didn't understand and came to ask him.

"Last question, Anderson!"

"What is the formula of the Felixir?" Snape felt a little shameless.

"Eggshell of fire ash snake, horseradish, sea onion bulb, stem of sea anemone, bile of Mortra mouse, thyme tincture. Professor."

Rock still answered the question calmly and respectfully.

Good, good, good!

Snape was speechless.

He could only wave his robe and snorted heavily, then turned back to the podium.

The Hufflepuff badger on the side was dumbfounded. He answered so many questions that his hands were sore from taking notes, and there was no extra points?

If it were our dean, the first question would have added five points.

Snape seemed to be a little bit overwhelmed, so he had to slowly say under the gaze of the little wizards: "One point for Ravenclaw."

"Potions is still a course that focuses more on practical operations. Just knowing the theory is not enough!"

Snape's eyes gradually became sharp: "Next, I will teach you a simple potion to treat scabies."

"I don't want anyone to make any stupid mistakes in the process."

Snape looked around at everyone, but this time his eyes deliberately skipped Rock.

Then Snape began to calmly talk about the process and precautions.

But the little wizards' expectations were somewhat disappointed, right? We just memorized all the Polyjuice Potion, Joy Potion, and Felicity Potion in vain.

Although they complained a lot, the little wizards actually liked to practice in their hearts, at least it was better than writing with a smoking pen just now.

Crucible, balance, stirring rod... put them all in place as the professor said.

Putting aside the teacher's ethics, Snape's strength and potion are indeed no problem.

A simple scabies treatment potion, the points that should be noted have basically been mentioned in advance, and the actual operation of the potion is not difficult, just follow the steps given by the professor.

The only thing worth noting is that potions are also a kind of magic, and only wizards can make potions. Even if Muggles follow the book, the potions they make will not have any magic.

On the other hand, potions made by powerful wizards sometimes have better effects.

So every potion master, like Snape or Slughorn, has excellent strength.

In the original book, Seamus, the explosive maniac, often caused explosions when making potions because of his unstable magic.

Rock was just the opposite. He had his own unique magic to help him in actual potion making, so there was no reason for him to fail.

…

After class, Snape floated away quietly like a big bat.

The students also walked to the auditorium together.

"Oh my God! It's so tiring to take his class. I feel like I can't breathe when I stay next to him." Michael didn't dare to breathe loudly until he saw Snape walking away.

"Rock, you are really amazing. You can answer such tricky questions. But Professor Snape is really..." Hermione also expressed her opinion indignantly. She didn't expect that Rock answered so many questions, but Snape only added so many points.

When they arrived at the auditorium, several people were still talking around Rock, when suddenly two red-haired boys came over. They looked exactly the same, the Weasley twins.

"Hey! We just heard that a handsome little wizard gave the big bat a hard time in the potions class!"

They leaned on Rock on the left and right and immediately began to introduce themselves:

"I'm George, his name is Freddy."

Not a George, but a Paige?

"Hello, I'm Rock." Rock crossed his hands and shook hands with the Weasleys on the left and right, "I heard Harry and Ron mention it before."

George naturally knew Rock, to be precise, many people knew Rock now.

However, with the relationship with Ron, George was closer to Rock.

"In return for giving the big bat a hard time, we decided to tell you a secret." George whispered mysteriously.
