"Harry... Potter - the Boy Who Lived, a famous figure." Snape stopped in front of Harry's desk and stared at him.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, who were sitting next to him, covered their mouths and chuckled with a wink. However, Snape did not immediately attack, but continued to name names. After calling the names, he scanned the whole class with his cold, empty black eyes, forcing everyone to focus on him.
The classroom was in order, and then he began his pre-class speech.
"You're here to learn the precise science and craft of potion-making. Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe in the magic of potions. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the smoky and fragrant cauldron that simmers, and you don't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic of the mind, and the will that is blurring. I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death—but one thing has to be, and that is that you should not be fools, and fools I often encounter. "
This is a master who knows magic potions. Rhys wholeheartedly approved of what Snape said.
Potions is a delicate, precise, and exquisite subject. It is impossible for someone who is distracted and careless to learn this subject well.
Potions science is quite similar to Muggle chemistry. In fact, in the Middle Ages, the three disciplines of potions, chemistry, and alchemy were almost indistinguishable. They are all disciplines that mix a variety of processed materials through a series of processes to obtain a final product with specific properties.
After Snape finished his short opening remarks, the whole class fell silent.
"Potter!" Snape said suddenly, "Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"
"I don't know, Professor," Harry said.
Snape pursed his lips disdainfully.
"Tsk, tsk – it seems that fame doesn't mean everything. "
No one else raised their hands.
"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"Snape asked another question, but Harry had no idea what a bezoar was.
"I don't know, sir. "
"Potter, what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"
"...I don't know," Harry whispered and then looked at Draco's mocking face, "but I suppose Draco knows and that's why he is laughing"
"Enough Potter! For your information, 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 that has a strong detoxifying effect and will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite."
"Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?".
Snape's anger had a tendency to spread to all the students in the classroom.
The freshmen quickly took out pen and paper and wrote down these three questions and answers.
Rhys couldn't help but yawn: Snape taught the class well, but it was bad that he forced students to take notes. Having to copy down something that has already been written down in my mind is like a punishment to myself.
Everyone was immersed in taking notes, but Rhys remained motionless and even yawned. Such arrogant behavior was intolerable even if Snape had a high tolerance for students in his own house.
Snape's eyes locked on Rhys's for a moment.
"Ah, Mr. Lint! Are you sleepy? Or is this terrible question and answer boring to you? Where are your parchments and quills?" Snape's anger aroused by Potter's incomprehensible questions was transferred to Rhys, and he asked him rudely.
A series of questions.
Seeing that Rhys was being targeted by Snape, Malfoy raised his head suddenly, his eyes bursting with dazzling light: Dare you provoke Professor Snape? Rhys, you're screwed!
He put down the quill in his hand and watched the drama in the classroom with great interest.
At this time, Rhys should have taken out the parchment and taken notes obediently to calm the matter. However, he was not such a person. He directly stated that what was recorded in his notebook should be valuable, not " bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat", monkshood and wolfsbane are both the same kind of plant" and such nonsense.
Snape: !?
Other students: ! ! !
So brave! So brave! How dare he? After hearing monkshood and wolfsbane's reply, the little wizards suddenly had this panicking thought in their minds.
Snape narrowed his eyes.
He was now beginning to wonder if he had been too gentle with the little wizards of Slytherin House before so that a new student dared to answer his question with such rebellious remarks.
"Very good, very good," Snape's tone became extremely calm, "Since Mr. Lint is pursuing valuable knowledge, then I will provide you with valuable enough knowledge in the form of questions."
There were no mood swings in his tone, but people who knew him well like Malfoy knew very well that Snape in this state was extremely dangerous, and it was just the calm before the storm.
All the other students present lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that they would accidentally be spotted by Professor Snape.
"I just said that Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. Taking a small amount of Draught of Living Death potion can play a sleeping and analgesic role, but taking too much of Draught of Living Death potion will cause the user to become drowsy. This symptom will not disappear with the passage of time. Now I ask you, how to rescue patients who overdose on the Draught of Living Death potion?"
Rhys put himself in his shoes and thought about how he would respond if he encountered this situation, and then he had the answer.
"Feed Erosion Fruit to remove the dark effect. The essence of the water of Draught of Living Death is a poison that reduces brain activity. After taking it, people will fall into a state of poisoning. The Erosion Fruit can be used to detoxify."
Snape frowned upon hearing Rhys's answer.
The correct way to deal with it is to give the patient an emetic and a stimulant. The former expels the unabsorbed water of the potion from the body, and the latter forces the patient's brain to become active, thus breaking the dormant state. But Rhys's answer cannot be said to be wrong, because removing dark effect can indeed cure this disease.
The only disadvantage of this plan is that the Erosion Fruit is very rare and difficult to find. Even the mainstream view in the wizarding world believes that the Erosion Fruit is extinct, and even Snape himself does not have a collection of it in his storage room.
"Okay." Snape nodded, considering Rhys passed the test.
He asked another question: "Let's try again, Lint. If you see a person's skin turning blue for unknown reasons, his hands and feet twitching uncontrollably, and foaming at the mouth, what should you do?"
After Rhys said the term "dispelling dark effects", Snape gave up the idea of making things difficult for Rhys.
The second question he asked seemed to him to be a scoring question, and the answer was very simple. It was the bezoar he just mentioned, which has a strong detoxifying effect.
As long as your brain is a little more flexible, you can answer correctly.
"Take the Erosion Fruit!" Rhys was also very surprised. Is there any difference between these two questions? It's all about detoxification, so why not eliminate bad effects?
Snape: "…"
That's the extinct Erosion Fruit! Not a common apple we are talking about!
Why do you think modern pharmacists don't use the all-purpose antidote, which is the Erosion Fruit? Don't you want to study seriously?

"Lint, it's not that easy to find that fruit!" Snape decided to help Rhys change his bad habits and stop using the elixir fruit all day long. It's unrealistic to use this thing's name to prescribe medicine.
It's not that it can't be used to remove evil effects, but bezoar is more cost-effective.
It's just like when someone is sick and the doctor prescribes medicine: "Take one small elixer fruit after meals."
If you can get the flat peach in the palace of heaven, it can indeed cure the disease, but the question is, can you get it?
It can't be done.
"Professor Snape, Rhys also sold an anti-evil fruit to my father during the summer vacation, so I can still find it!" Daphne raised her hand and said loudly.
Snape's body became slightly stiff. He believed that Daphne was not telling lies because he had also heard about the situation of the Greengrass family. Her father, Mr. Greengrass, had also approached him, hoping that he would prepare an extremely complex potion for his daughter.
So this boy Rhys really has the ability to eliminate dark effects!
The moment he heard the news, Snape was a little moved: This is an extremely rare evil-repelling fruit. If he could get one and study it, he might be able to develop several new potions...
Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to ask Rhys if he had any left shamelessly.
"Okay, it's time for class now." Snape walked to the blackboard expressionlessly and started writing on it.
Malfoy almost had the word "disappointment" written on his face: That guy Rhys even withstood Professor Snape's attacks, what else could he do?
Today's tutorial is about preparing a simple potion to treat boils.
Snape wrote down the materials and steps needed to prepare the potion on the blackboard, and after explaining the key points of the operation, he divided the students into pairs and asked them to start the experiment.
"Dried nettles, snake teeth, slugs, porcupine quills..." Standing in front of the public material cabinet in the Potions classroom, Rhys put the potion materials he selected from the cabinet into the box held by Daphne.
"Before making the potion, you must have all the materials before you can start." While looking for the materials, he was not idle and began to tell Daphne the details of preparing the potion.
It's not that Rhys wanted to show off his skills, he did it completely subconsciously. Because a thousand years ago, he had repeated this operation countless times, so that it formed a conditioned reflex.
"You must pay attention to the quality of raw materials, and do not use rotten materials—even if they are only damaged, my advice is to throw them all away."
"If possible, make sure you use the same batch of materials. I don't know if you understand—"
"..."
Snape, who was standing not far away, looked on with cold eyes and listened quietly to Rhys's words. After listening for a while, he was surprised to find that the child got everything to the point.
He doesn't look like a new student, but like an old pharmacist who has been immersed in the potion shop for more than ten years after graduation.
He knows a lot about potions and possesses an extremely rare evil-repelling power. Whose child is Rhys Lint? Why haven't I ever heard of any potion family named Lint?
Rhys returned to his seat with Daphne and the ingredients for the potion, then weighed dried nettles, crushed venomous snake teeth, and cooked slugs with tentacles...
During this period, Professor Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, observing and correcting the movements of the little wizards.
He was extremely strict with the students' movements, and almost all of them were criticized by him, except for Rhys, Daphne, and Malfoy.
Malfoy was exempted because his father, Lucius Malfoy, had a good relationship with Snape. Rhys was because his movements were really impeccable and Daphne was not making mistakes under his guidance.
While others were still busy dividing the materials, Rhys' potion was almost ready.
He even had time to explain key points to Daphne next to him every step of the way! Snape felt that if he didn't use a wand, even if he could operate it himself, he would take no less time than that.
"Do you understand? If there is enough time before the class ends, I will let you do it alone." Rhys spoke to Daphne like a real teacher - he moved too fast, and only Rhys completed the potion alone. The experiment that was supposed to be completed jointly by two students was completed, which was not good for Daphne's growth.
"Yeah." Daphne nodded repeatedly, the parchment in hand filled with notes.
A plume of acidic green smoke suddenly erupted from the underground classroom, followed by a loud hissing sound. Seamus' cauldron was burned somehow, and the potion in the pot spilled onto the stone floor and flowed everywhere.
Snape's pupils suddenly dilated and his blood pressure began to rise, but before he could have an attack, "No worries" Rhys had already taken out his wand and waved it towards the ground.
The potion that was spread, rolled into a ball, and then he controlled it and threw it into an abandoned crucible in the corner of the classroom.
The operation was so smooth that most of the little wizards who were looking at the scene were all dumbfounded. Rhys was still helping Daphne and solved this problem without even seeing what was happening.
It was as if nothing had happened! Only the twisted crucible, the corroded table, and the stained floor silently told of the recent changes.
Why is this kid so skilled?
Although Snape was confused, his reaction was extremely swift. He roared: "Idiot boy! "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before
taking the cauldron off the fire, didn't you?"
After scolding Seamus, he ordered Seamus' partner Dean Thomas to take Seamus, who was stained with a lot of potion and grimacing in pain, to the infirmary.
"5 points to Slytherin for Mr. Lint's quick response"
After finishing the emergency response, he looked at Rhys and praised his quick handling without hesitation, and gave Slytherin five points. Of course, it is also appropriate to deduct points from Gryffindor who made the mistake.
"Everyone has to write a one-foot-long paper introducing the process and key points of preparing the potion for boils. It is due before class next week." After leaving an assignment of "large quantity and full control", Snape announced the end of class and kicked all the little wizards out of the Potions classroom.
He had to seize the time to deal with the potions and garbage left by the little wizards, put the unused potion materials back to their original places, and replenish the supplies needed by the students in the next class. The tables and floors burned by Seamus were also waiting for him to be fixed.
Only after finishing all this will he have time to have lunch. Perhaps this was the reason for his grumpy temper.
But these have nothing to do with the little wizards after class. The Gryffindor wizards had no more Potions lessons after surviving these two, and the Slytherin students still needed to take an Herbology lesson.
They stepped on the stone steps out of the underground classroom and quickly left there. Even without Snape's declaration, they would leave as quickly as possible.
Rhys also heard the Weasley boy comforting Potter with his brother's example, and then reminding him that he had to visit Hagrid.
"Are you free on the weekend? I think I can teach you some spells on the weekend." Rhys calculated the time and set an appointment to teach Daphne the spells.
