Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 26 Snape's Dialogue
The next morning, Ted got up half an hour earlier. The system was right. A wizard not only had to master magic and be knowledgeable, but also had to be physically strong.

At the critical moment, he can wield his staff sword like Gandalf and fight the enemy - breaking the witcher's leg easily~
So Ted told Hermione yesterday that he would meet her in the Great Hall tomorrow morning. He was going to get up early and go for a run.

Originally, Ted planned to run around Black Lake.

But after standing by the Black Lake, he silently gave up this idea.

Damn, it's okay to let Ansu fly a lap. If I run a lap myself, I'll probably have to eat lunch.

One lap is probably more than 10 kilometers! Maybe it’s like a half marathon!

After running for twenty minutes, Ted, panting, cleaned himself up. His 11-year-old body was still too weak, and he really needed to exercise more.

But he did gain something, as he got 3 points of experience from running, which is better than nothing.

The main thing is that he found a new psychic power - mental motivation.

People who run regularly know that many times the body has not actually reached its limit, but the brain thinks it has.

But if you grit your teeth and hold on for a while, you will enter the next stage, and your brain will enter a blank of development restrictions~
Ted found a way to use psychic powers to stimulate his brain and break through the invisible limitations of the brain on the body.

Of course, this ability also has dangers and cannot be used recklessly.

Excessive mental stimulation may cause the body's feedback to be ignored. If the body really reaches its limit, the brain's limitations will be gone and the body may collapse directly.

The next day was Charms, History of Magic and Herbology.

In addition to History of Magic, Ted answered three more questions and scored 10 points.

I didn't learn anything from History of Magic.

The main reason is that the ghost teacher, Professor Speen, is too lazy. Well, he is just messing around!

He didn't even mention the name of the person who walked through the wall, and just started reciting the text.

There were no questions asked, so naturally there were no extra points. It was impossible to get any money out of him.

If Ted had a teacher like this when he was in college, he would have laughed to death, but now he feels really uncomfortable!
As expected, if you lie down and play badly and restrain all means of exploitation, even those who have a system and travel through time will have no way to deal with it.

On the afternoon of the third day, Snape's Potions class finally started. It was a big class that only happened once a week, and all four colleges took it together.

The Potions classroom is in the basement. I don't know if it's because the basement is cool and conducive to the storage of potion materials, or because Snape's office is underground.

Anyway, the environment here is not very good.

Even though Hogwarts is a school of magic, with magic that has lasted for a thousand years, the basement is still cold and dark.

Plus, half of the classroom wall was filled with large glass jars containing parts of magical animals, and it felt like being in the basement specimen room of the Medical Research Institute!

Ted was lucky enough to go there once in his previous life. He happened to see the building being renovated. All kinds of cabinets, jars, bags, and mummies were randomly placed - they really weren't afraid of being stolen.
The feeling was as terrifying as entering Frankenstein's human laboratory.

This is how the Potions classroom feels to freshmen. Even the little Slytherin snakes who come to attend their own dean's class hide from the glass jars with pale faces.

If you add to that the gloomy old face of Snape, who is wearing a black robe and has long greasy black hair - this is no longer just Frankenstein's human laboratory - he is also a test subject!

Before class started, Hermione complained to Ted: "I heard that Professor Snape never gives extra points to students from other colleges!"

Ted curled his lips in his heart: No extra points? That means he hasn't met me. Even if his heart is made of iron? My ancestors made iron! For the mission, damn it!

Before class, Ted used [Ravenclaw's Wisdom (Blue)] to buff himself.

……

Ever since Snape slid in silently like a big black bat from outside the door, the temperature in the room seemed to drop by several degrees.

He glanced at the students, and his eyes seemed to pause for a moment on Harley.

He opened his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of disdain: "You came here to learn the precise science and strict craftsmanship of potion preparation..." He spoke slowly and softly~
"Since there's no silly waving of wands here, many of you won't believe this is magic."

"I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of the slow-cooking pot with white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You won't really understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's veins, which makes people's hearts and minds excited and confused..."

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the stupid fools I often encounter."

Ted: Listen, listen, what orthodox words!
I hereby declare, Snape, that your "bloodline is pure"!
Next was Snape's question session. Like Professor McGonagall, he liked to give the freshmen a heads-up.

As for who will serve as the teaching aid, let's randomly draw an unlucky person~
Well, it's not random actually. It depends on who Snape is mad at.

This time, Harry is definitely no longer Snape's target.

As for Neville, the boy who luckily survived, Snape was not interested at all.

So, Ted, who had a "silly smile" on his face since he started talking, became his target.

From his attitude towards Hermione in the original book, we can see that he really dislikes students who are flamboyant and like to show off. This may be influenced by James Potter and others.

"Epiphani! Stand up!"

"Answer me, what do you get when you add powdered narcissus root to an infusion of wormwood?"

Snape suddenly turned his head and launched a sneak attack. "A dose of life and death water, professor." Ted's smile disappeared, and his expression was extremely calm. It was as if he had foreseen Snape's sneak attack and was ready for it.

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

"In the cow's stomach."

"What is the difference between Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum damicornis?"

"There is no difference, they are all called Aconitum."

Snape came up and attacked with three swords, but Ted blocked it easily.

Failed to penetrate the armor~
But how could Snape give up so easily?
He directly raised the difficulty level, and the questions were no longer limited to the first-grade textbooks.

"Why do slugs need to be dried before use to remove the slime?"

Ted knows this problem very well. The slugs that died in his hands could circle Diagon Alley three and a half times!

"Because slug mucus is a cheap material, it is peeled off to increase revenue. And if it is used directly in the shade without removing the mucus and washing it, it will have a slight effect on many potions."

Snape was also stunned. He really didn't expect Ted to be able to answer this question - this was not something in the textbook, but knowledge that could only be learned through practice. At least the textbook would not mention the issue of increasing income.

"So, what should we pay attention to when collecting parasol mushrooms?"

"Be careful not to collect the stems. The stems of the jumping parasol mushroom are highly toxic and have a strong hallucinogenic effect. Once mixed into the potion, it can seriously cause the death of the drinker."

As the saying goes, red umbrellas and white poles, after eating, lie down on the board together.

This potion material was the herb that Mr. Slug was allowed to process during Ted's last week working in Diagon Alley.

"Where can lacewings be found?"

"A dark bush full of magic."

……

There were five or six questions in a row, and the other students were dumbfounded by this "rapid attack and defense battle".

Then Ted finally couldn't answer anymore.

Snape narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and made a disdainful expression: "I thought you knew everything and didn't need to take this class!"

Then he yelled at the other students: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you write down this knowledge? You know everything, right?!"
Snape's mind was screaming: What happened? I almost flipped over?!

He still has his own pride, otherwise if he hadn't asked directly about the formula of the Felicis, Ted would definitely not have been able to answer.

It requires both the basics and the unfamiliar.

He himself was totally unprepared, and just thinking about the problem made him feel embarrassed.

Students: Damn, what's going on? We didn't do anything and we were scolded! Are we cursed even when we're lying down?!

The first ten minutes of the first Potions class were spent with Snape showing off and asking questions.

Snape asked a lot of questions and then didn't give any extra points!

Ted: Damn, Snape's heart is not only made of iron, but also made of black iron. His heart is completely black!

Snape: Because I've been caught in the rain before, so I'll break other people's umbrellas no matter what.

Next, he began to explain the content of the first lesson.

In addition to basic theories and the use of instruments, this class also teaches how to make scabies medicine.

This potion can treat many skin problems.

Potions class definitely requires practice!
So after Snape explained the process and precautions for nearly an hour, he let everyone start working~
Crucible, stirring rod, grinding mortar, scale, silver knife...all laid out.

For some people, this is as dangerous as dissecting yourself!
"Ding~ Triggering the task:

[Young wizard's first potion (green)]

Although Snape is not a very good person, he is quite skilled. Now he has taught you how to make scabies potion and the key points to pay attention to, so try it yourself!

Goal: Complete the configuration of the first magic potion in your life.

Reward: 200 experience points, card [Neville's Failed Scabies Potion (Green)].

Deep feelings, drink it all in one gulp. After this one, there are still three more!"

Fortunately, although the black-hearted Snape did not give any extra points, at least it was not completely useless.

Cut the herbs, weigh them, heat the oil in a pan, add a lot of oil, and fry until both sides are golden brown. The smell comes out immediately, and Malfoy at the next table is crying with greed...
