The years of welding at Hogwarts

During these two days, the students of Ravenclaw were in dire straits.

Originally, Professor Flitwick had planned to format the door knocker.

That’s right, the question bank of Door Knocker can actually be formatted and reloaded.

In the thousands of years of Hogwarts' history, there have been

The students instilled some strange knowledge into the door knocker, which caused the door knocker to ask some strange questions.

Therefore, all the successive headmasters of Ravenclaw have mastered the means to reinstall the question bank. This method is not difficult and can be done in just a few minutes.

But deans generally do not use this ultimate means easily.

Ravenclaw eagles are pretty competitive about this sort of thing, it's just a math problem, especially for Muggles.

Although the Ravenclaw eagles disdained the pure-blood theory popular in Slytherin House, they still believed from the bottom of their hearts that wizards were superior to Muggles.

Especially wizards from Ravenclaw.

That is even more of a superior existence.

Therefore, they prefer to answer the questions posed by the exit ring by themselves. Even if they cannot answer them, they will not easily let the dean use the ultimate means of formatting the question bank.

Instead, he chose to blow up the wall next to it, temporarily opening another exit, and keeping the problem of the door knocker until it was solved.

Especially after Noah, an outsider who did not belong to Ravenclaw College, answered the question about the eagle ring in front of them, the little eagles could no longer tolerate it.

An outsider, even a first-year student, can easily figure out the answer.

As orthodox Ravenclaw students, they should not give up easily.

Ravenclaw's prefect Roger Davis directly stated that if he could not answer the next question raised by the Eagle Ring, he would not return to the common room.

Of course, even if he didn't go back to the dormitory, other students still had to go back.

Ravenclaw House even set up a special duty team for this purpose, composed of students from all grades.

When there are no classes, group members will be on duty in the common room, and their job is to ensure that the door of the common room is not closed.

Many young eagles who had been unable to conquer the eagle ring for a long time asked their dean for sleeping bags and slept on the floor directly outside the lounge door.

……

At the professors' table, Professor Flitwick frequently cast strange glances at Snape.

He didn't react at noon two days ago, but after Noah solved the problem that all his students couldn't solve, Professor Flitwick should have thought of it even if he was slow to react.

The strange questions raised by Eagle Ring are definitely related to Snape's adopted son.

Snape did not notice the look Professor Flitwick was giving him. At this moment, all his attention was focused on the figure at the Gryffindor table.

Because this day is a crucial day for him.

This was the day of Gryffindor's first Potions class, and also the day when Snape would meet the son of his dream girl Lily for the first time.

Even though the boy had a face that made Snape feel disgusted.

But his eyes...

Those are Lily's eyes.

For the sake of these eyes, Snape could give the other party a chance.

One chance to pass his test...

The Potions classroom is located in the basement corridor on the same floor as the Slytherin common room.

The atmosphere here is even colder and more eerie than the Bat Master's bat cave. The large number of unidentified specimens placed along the walls reveal a kind of horror like a haunted house.

The little wizards sitting in the classroom were trembling with fear and wanted to leave first.

The door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open, and the rough way of opening the door caused the two heavy door panels to slam against the wall behind the door.

The sudden loud noise frightened all the little wizards.

With his jet-black robe trailing behind him like the spread wings of a big black bat, Snape walked quickly to the podium in the classroom.

"No random waving of spells and chanting of incantations in my class!"

After saying this coldly, Snape picked up the student list on the podium and began to call the roll.

When he came to Harry's name he paused suddenly, and then spoke slowly in an extremely annoying drawl.

"Tsk tsk, Harry Potter, the famous savior."

Hearing Snape's words, Draco's two little followers, Goyle and Crabbe, immediately covered their mouths and laughed.

But they received death-gaze warnings from both Draco and Snape at the same time.

Snape withdrew his gaze from Harry's green eyes inherited from Lily and raised his tone slightly.

"You are here to learn the precise science and rigorous craft of potion preparation."

"Since there's no silly waving of wands here, many of you won't believe this is magic."

"I don't expect you to really understand the beauty of the simmering cauldron with white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You will not really understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's veins to make people's hearts and minds confused."

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death..."

Noah curled his lips in disdain. He really wanted to say to Snape, come on, you can't even stop Lily's death, but he was afraid of being beaten up by the old bat.

It is better to avoid such a death. He is not alive yet.

enough.

He should just sit there quietly and wait for the famous scene to come.

Snape suddenly changed the subject, "Potter!"

I'm coming.

Although his name was not called, Noah subconsciously stood up straight and looked towards the Gryffindor College next door.

The savior whose name was called subconsciously trembled, and because he was too nervous, he let out a somewhat ecstatic cry.

"Ah~"

The drawn-out tremolo interrupted Snape's spell casting as he was about to ask a question, causing his face to turn several shades darker than before.

Noah turned his face away and pinched his thigh frantically with his hands hidden under the table.

Hold it back, don't laugh.

"If you make that noise again, I'll..."

What he wanted to say was "kill you", but as a professor, it was not easy for him to say such words. Fortunately, Snape pulled himself back and held back the words that were already half out of his mouth.

All the Slytherins had a hard time enduring it.

Snape dragged his long bat skin to Harry's side and looked down at his savior classmate with an extremely oppressive attitude.

"Potter, what would I get if I added the powdered sunflower to the wormwood infusion?"

This sudden question made Harry a little dazed, and his bright emerald green eyes looked extremely confused at this moment.

After staring at Snape for a few seconds, Harry lowered his head dejectedly and replied helplessly, "I don't know, sir."

The well-hidden hint of anticipation in Snape's eyes faded a little.

Noah rested his right hand on his cheek, staring in the direction of Gryffindor, his eyes lowered, eating the melon quietly.

Regarding this question that Snape asked Harry, he had seen countless interpretations of it before he traveled through time.

The Asphodel that Snape mentioned is a species of lily.

In the West, it is closely related to grief for someone's death, and in Snape's case, it refers to the name of Harry's mother.

Lily.

Wormwood, on the other hand, suggests regret, bitterness, and remorse.

Therefore, adding the powder of the sunflower orchid to the wormwood infusion can be understood from a literary perspective as follows:

Lilies fall into bitter sorrow, I am deeply saddened by your mother's death, and my regrets will follow you to the grave.

Some people say it is an over-interpretation, others say this is what Snape meant, but no matter what, there is one thing that will never change from beginning to end.

That was Snape's true feelings for Lily.

Pure, eternal, indestructible.

"Tsk, tsk...it seems that fame doesn't mean everything."

Snape's tone became colder and colder, like an ice cave in the winter.

"Let's try again, Potter."

"If I were to find me a bezoar, where would you look?"

All I can say is, try it and you will die.

Harry lowered his head even lower, not daring to look at Snape. "I don't know, sir."

His voice was so small, almost as quiet as a mosquito's. If the Potions classroom had not been extremely quiet at that moment, even Snape standing in front of him might not have been able to hear his answer clearly.

This time, the answer completely eliminated the only trace of expectation in Snape's eyes, and it was replaced by deep disgust.

Chapter 48: Big Mushroom Smoke Straight, Long Core Sunset Round

Harry had no idea what he was missing.

Only Noah and Snape knew that the questions Snape prepared for this crucial first Potions class were not meant to be difficult.

But a test.

The first impression has a great influence on people's overall impression of a person or thing.

Although people have the opportunity to constantly correct their impressions of each other when they get along with each other, there is no doubt that the feeling left by the first meeting is extremely difficult to erase.

If only Harry had spent some of his insignificant time flipping through the Potions textbook before his first Potions class began.

Even if he couldn't answer Snape's questions with utmost confidence.

As long as he didn't behave so badly, Snape's first impression of him wouldn't be too bad.

Because Harry and Shirley's mother, and Snape's dream lover, Lily Evans, was once a wizard with great talent in potions.

Because of the green eyes inherited from Lily, Snape was still willing to give Harry a chance even though Harry inherited the face of his rival.

If Harry's behavior could make Snape see a little bit of Lily's shadow, Snape's attitude towards him would not be so bad.

Too bad Harry screwed up everything.

All Snape saw in him was laziness, arrogance, indulgence, and self-righteousness...

He had all the flaws that James Potter had.

But he didn't inherit any of Lily's good qualities except her eyes.

Snape lowered his eyes. This was the last chance he gave Harry.

"Potter, what about the boat?

What is the difference between Aconitum carmichaelii and Aconitum chamaejasminoides?

"I don't know." Harry answered in a still very low voice.

Snape calmly looked away.

Without having too many expectations, he was not disappointed when he got such an answer.

After all, having Shirley around is enough.

"Noah, you answer."

Noah was a little confused when the fire suddenly shifted to him, but he still gave a fluent answer.

"The powder of the sun orchid added to the infusion of wormwood can produce the water of life and death. It is a very powerful sleeping pill. Just a small drop can make an elephant fall asleep."

"Bezoar is a kind of stone taken from the stomach of a cow. It has a strong detoxifying effect. If you are poisoned but do not know the composition of the toxin and cannot make an antidote, you can swallow a piece of bezoar to detoxify."

"As for Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum davidianum, they are the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum."

Because Noah was a student of his own academy, Snape originally wanted to criticize him for "reading from a script" and deduct one point from him as usual. However, even though he hated Noah, this wild boar who might take his cabbage at any time, he could only hold his nose and say what he meant.

"Five points for the correct answer, Slytherin."

Feeling quite unhappy about this, he turned his head and looked at the other little wizards. Seeing that they were still sitting there stupidly, he roared:
