บท 106: Snape: Do I Need A Reason To Deduct Points?!(2)
Blake shrugged.
"I was just thinking about a slow simmering pot. One emitting white smoke and fragrances Professor."
Blake was honest. He was not lying at all. The scene he described was exactly what the rice looked like when it was being cooked.
But everyone thought that he was repeating Snape's words then they imagined the magic of brewing potions.
"Ooh! Is that so?" Snape said.
His Spirit Assimilation Telepathic Capture swept over. Blake obviously noticed it immediately but this spell was only used to check if he was lying so his Brain Seal spell could completely resist it.
But Blake's expression didn't change. Professor Snape was slightly stunned.
'This guy wasn't lying? It seemed like he really liked Potioneering.'
"Hmph!" Snape suddenly said loudly.
"Since you're looking forward to the concoction of the potion. Then you must have done some research on the Potioneering textbook. So tell me! Green, what are the twelve uses of dragon blood?"
Blake was slightly stunned.
'You can't be serious. Are you using Dumbledore's discovery to test me? Who are you looking down on?'
"Fire dragon blood has a lot of uses. It can be used to make oven cleaners and spot removers … Fire dragon meat even has an analgesic effect …"
Blake's fluent answer made Snape frown again. He felt that this was a tricky problem but he did not give up.
"Then … tell me, what is the boil potion? What are its effects? What do I have to pay attention to during the concoction process? "
As soon as he asked this question the other students present felt their hearts sink. What was the boil potion and what were its effects? Maybe they could find the answer in the textbook.
But what did they have to pay attention to during the concoction process? Wasn't this the purpose of Potioneering professors?
The things that even your professor didn't talk about. It wasn't recorded in the textbook! And even if it was recorded, it definitely wasn't completely recorded.
If one or two of those questions were missed, then Professor Snape would have a reason to flip out! It was over. Blake looked like he had done good research on the textbook, but Professor Snape wasn't human!
Blake did not know what other people were thinking. He answered calmly.
"The boil potion is a potion that can cure boils. If this potion is brewed correctly, pink smoke will rise from the crucible. When making the potion, if you want to add porcupine quills to it, you must first remove the crucible from the flame ... The incorrect concoction will cause the potion to cause boils instead of curing them … "
Blake was a beginner in Potioneering. This kind of 'difficult' question. It couldn't stump him. He was completely unfazed.
Snape's expression changed. He did not expect Blake to be so good. His answer could be said to be watertight. Even he could not find any flaws.
It seemed that Blake's theoretical knowledge was indeed very solid. But if that's the case, Snape knew. In terms of theoretical knowledge, he didn't want to give Blake a hard time.
But Snape wouldn't give up so easily. Let's not even talk about Blake telling on me to Dumbledore, just saying his name Blake sickened Snape.
Then, the next round would determine the victor! Snape stared at Blake for a while.
He turned his head to the class and said, "Why don't you all write that down?"
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the classroom as everyone fumbled with their quills and parchments. The potions class continued.
It did not matter if it was a student who belonged to Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, those little straight-A students, they did not dare to relax in the slightest.
.....
This guy was too despairing. Professor Snape had divided them into pairs. Then he taught them how to make a potion for boils. It was the kind of question he had asked Blake just now.
Snape walked around the classroom, his long black cloak trailing behind him. He stared at the dried nettles they all weighed, the grinding of a snake's poisonous fangs ...
Think about it. When there was such a professor doing experiments with you. Constantly standing behind you and pressuring you. In that case … No matter how experienced you were at it. You could make mistakes.
Not to mention the young wizards were trying to make potions for the first time today. Therefore, they kept making mistakes.
Not long after, Almost all the students were criticized by Snape. Except for two people, Blake and Hannah who were divided into a pair.
Before they started, Blake had told Hannah before.
"Calm down. Don't be nervous, just use the mood of cooking and there will be no problem at all!"
Hannah was just a novice at making potions but she was very good at cooking! Plus, there was also a professional chef like Blake guiding her. The two of them could be said to work together seamlessly.
It was Hannah who was only in charge of "helping in the kitchen" while Blake was relegated to just helping her. So Professor Snape could not find any reason to criticize her and Blake's work.
They had exquisite knife technique, precise measurement, professional technique, and perfect control of the fire.
Professor Snape's legs were almost numb from standing behind them. He did not see anything worthy of criticism at all! Snape wondered if it was Blake's first time making potions!
Snape had no choice but to criticize others … especially Hufflepuff's little wizards.
He was criticizing them miserably.
'If I can't deduct points from you, then I will deduct points from your housemates!' Snape concluded.
Under great psychological pressure from Professor Snape, Wayne and Roger watched in despair as the potion in their cauldrons turned into a strange green colour
"Idiots! I think you forgot to put in the specified Nettles! Am I right? "
At this moment, in Blake and Hannah's crucibles. Pink smoke was already rising from the ground. This proved that their magic potion had been successfully brewed.
It was a clear contrast between the one belonging to Wayne and Roger were standing next to Blake and Hannah.
Snape started to flip out.
"Green! Are you feeling complacent because you've successfully brewed the potion? Since you know it so well and you're standing next to them, why don't you help them?
Why didn't you remind them to put in the Thousand Nettles?! Do you think you will be better if they make mistakes? Because of you, Hufflepuff! will lose points"
After Snape finished deducting points. He suddenly felt refreshed. Blake's face darkened.
'Motherf * cker, he is playing dirty, right? I did not even snitch on him.'
So Snape came to find fault with him.
Blake could not actually understand that's why Blake had always been on the defensive. No matter how much Snape tried to find fault with him, as long as it was within reason, Blake responded to every move that came his way.
After the class, The two of them were evenly matched …
'But you're doing this now. Isn't this a little shameless? That's what I am supposed to do not you!'
In Blake's opinion. This old bat couldn't afford to play fair. He flipped the table.
'Since you don't want to play far, then let's not play!'
"Okay, Professor, it's my fault. I didn't help you correct their mistakes."
Snape was feeling refreshed at first, but then he immediately understood the hidden meaning behind Blake's words!
'What do you mean by helping me correct their mistakes? Are you saying that this is my job? I didn't correct them so I failed to do my job?'
Snape admitted that Blake had a point.
'But do I need a reason to deduct points?'
"Green, you contradicted the professor. Hufflepuff is deducted five points!"
