Chapter 37: Snape's Ulterior Motives
Friday morning was Potions class.
No one dared to be late for this class, and everyone arrived early, especially the little lions of Gryffindor, who looked miserable as if their mother had died.
But Ethan didn't care, since he was a Ravenclaw and had no grudge against Snape.
Bang!
The class was about to start, and the door of the classroom was suddenly pushed open.
Professor Snape walked in from the door, and because he walked too fast, the black cloak behind him fluttered and made a "whoosh" sound.
No wonder he was called the old bat, that's because he looked like one.
Like most professors, the first thing Professor Snape did was to take attendance. Except for a pause on Harry's name, he was as cold as a robot.
The low voice, combined with the dark basement and the specimens soaked in bottles and jars around, made the atmosphere of the whole classroom extremely depressing.
Except for the sound of "fire", the little wizards didn't dare to breathe during the whole process.
"You are here to learn the precise science and strict craftsmanship of preparing this potion."
"Since there is no foolish waving of wands here, many of you will not believe that this is magic.
I do not expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of the simmering crucible with white smoke and bursts of fragrance.
You will not truly understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's veins, which makes people excited and confused."
"I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death, but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the kind of idiots I often meet."
The extremely infectious opening remarks infinitely raised the level of the potion.
Even the Philosopher's Stone cannot prevent death, it can only extend life, but the body will be extremely fragile under the decay of time, let alone saving the dead.
In the end, Snape is painting a pie in the sky.
Scanning the wizards below, Snape's eyes were fixed in one direction.
"I would like to reiterate that there may be someone in Hogwarts who is so confident that he can skip my class because of his fame!"
The more he spoke, the more murderous Snape's eyes became.
Ronald, who was sitting next to Harry, was stunned at this moment. He had already sensed the problem. Harry was still writing his own things, but he didn't dare to move!
Snape walked in front of Harry and looked down at him.
"Mr. Potter!"
Harry shuddered when he heard his name suddenly, and hurriedly raised his head to see Snape's eyes without any emotion.
And Harry had an illusion that Snape seemed to dig out his eyes.
"Mr. Potter, a celebrity of the new generation!"
"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?."
This is definitely one of the most hidden hints, representing Snape's confession.
According to Victorian Flower Language, asphodel is a type of lily meaning 'My regrets follow you to the grave' and wormwood means 'absence' and also typically symbolised bitter sorrow.
Snape's love is Lily, which means that Snape is extremely distressed by Lily's death.
Ethan watched this scene with interest. Snape confessed to Lily's son, but her son didn't understand at all.
And this content is not for the first grade, but from the sixth grade textbook, and it is specially prepared for Harry.
Seeing Harry shook his head, Snape snorted coldly, "You don't know?"
Hermione, who was sitting not far from Harry, raised her hand high. In the past, she was suppressed by Ethan and Cassandra in class. Now she finally found an opportunity and she was unwilling to let it go.
She had previewed all this knowledge in advance.
But Snape's eyes were not on her at all.
He only had Harry in his eyes!
"Then let's change the question. Where do you find me a bezoar?"
Here it comes again, fecal stones are detoxifying.
The link above is, how to solve my pain.
"I don't know, sir!"
Hermione raised her hands and trembled, but Snape still ignored it.
"And what is difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
There are several flower languages of wolfsbane, one of which is to live for love.
There are too many private affairs mixed in!
"I don't know!" Harry was very unhappy at the moment. When he first met in the hall, he felt that Snape didn't like him.
Now he was even more certain of this. He was deliberately looking for trouble, and immediately said dissatisfiedly:
"Hermione knows the answer, why don't you ask her!"
At this moment, Hermione stood up with her hands raised to answer the question.
"Sit down!"
Snape shouted angrily. He didn't need people who acted on their own in his class.
Suddenly, Snape turned his head and stared at Ethan.
"Mr. Adrian, answer my question just now!"
My father didn't steal your wife, why is he targeting me?
According to Snape's character, even if the students from the other houses answered correctly, they would not get extra points. It was a thankless task.
But Ethan still stood up reluctantly:
"Asphodel and wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death."
"A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons."
"As for monkshood and wolfsbane,they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite"
"The answer is correct, but I want to tell you, if you look at me like that again, You won't like what I would do to you."
"Sit down now!"
"Also, Mr. Potter, because of your ignorance, Gryffindor will lose five points."
Snape's eyes without any emotion scanned the two of them.
Ethan sat down with an unhappy look on his face. It was wrong to watch the fun. Who made you mix in too many private things, and it was discovered.
You deserve to lose your wife and be bullied.
Harry's eyes were also flashing with anger, but Snape didn't care about it at all. After glancing around, he said coldly:
"Why didn't you raise your hand for the answer just now!"
At this moment, Ethan felt a pair of eyes staring at him, and he looked over and saw that it was Hermione.
Isn't she thinking that he stole her chance?
Ethan could only spread his hands helplessly. He didn't want to do it, and except for Slytherin students, other students would not get extra points if they answered correctly, but they would still get deducted points.
Unless Harry was a girl, then he would get extra points even if he answered incorrectly.
Aren't honesty and courage reasons? As long as Snape wanted, he could find them.
It's a pity that Harry was a boy, and he looked like James.
"Are you two flirting in class?"
"Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, five points deducted for each house!"
Snape, who had a view of the entire classroom, naturally saw all this. He couldn't stand the interaction between men and women, and it was in his class.
