Chapter 681: Weird Professor Snape

"It's so annoying. Why does Snape always stare at me?" In the potions class,

Ron's lips barely moved as he muttered expertly again.

Harry had no idea how many potions Ron had learned in Potions class.

But Ron has definitely learned the art of talking without moving his lips.

Harry thought that this skill of Ron was very useful and might be useful in future duels.

Or maybe it was Ron who had used the technique to pretend in fifth year when they were learning about silent spells.

Today is Monday.

1 month 24 day.

After this morning's Potions class.

They have no classes.

In the afternoon, we will face the team competition for the second event.

This made them worried and excited at the same time.

But Professor Snape was just like usual.

He has always been this kind of person, never caring whether there is a holiday, exam or festival after his class.

It seems to be the same this time.

After briefly introducing the most important course this year - undetectable poisons (a class of poisons that may not be detected by any method).

He went on to talk about a deadly poison that was the exact opposite of an undetectable poison that we could never concoct in our lifetime.

Among them, he mentioned the Death potion, a black potion contained in the potion pool on the death row of the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

In an extremely cold tone, he described the steps used to execute criminals using this potion in the 20s.

First, the death row inmates are taken to death row, where the executioner extracts happy memories from their minds and throws them into a pool of potion.

Secondly, once the condemned inmate sits on the execution chair, the chair will float above the potion, allowing the condemned inmate to see their happiest memories for the last time.

Finally, the chair will then gradually descend and eventually be swallowed by the potion along with the condemned prisoner.

Then, he went on to say seriously that this potion was highly corrosive. In addition to being fatal to humans, it would also corrode objects including wands and execution chairs.

After that, he moved on to talk about the Potion Killer.

A wizard who uses a Muggle water gun-like object made of special materials (materials that are not corroded by the death potion) as a weapon and the death potion as bullets.

He is from Ireland.

Learning in home school.

After he grew up, he came to Knockturn Alley and made a living by buying and selling some simple potions.

Soon after he arrived at Knockturn Alley, he saw the bodies of several dark wizards whose heads or hearts had been corroded clean.

At first, no one suspected him.

The Auror also thought it was some advanced dark magic.

It obviously has nothing to do with him, a thin and gloomy guy with average magic skills who only brews some weird potions in private and often fails.

Until one of the wizards he killed was swallowed by the potion and there happened to be a pendant next to his heart.

And this pendant is fairy silver.

Cannot be corrupted.

Aurors detected a black liquid on the silver and found it to be extremely corrosive.

After multiple tests ruled out the possibility of it being a byproduct of a spell, it was discovered that it was actually an unknown potion.

The potion master at the time, Lestat, deduced part of the formula.

The Aurors found the potion killer through the ingredients in the recipe.

Because he buys it often.

This incident was even featured in "Practical Potion Master" at the time.

Master Lester also posted some recipes and some sighs on it - if the Potion Killer went to Hogwarts, perhaps he could also achieve something in the field of potions.

This article caused quite a stir in the potion community.

The American potion master also noticed this.

One of them who worked for MACUSA discovered that the formula was somewhat similar to the death potion they were secretly hiding.

After much investigation,
They confirmed that the black potion secretly developed by the potion killer was exactly the same as their death potion.

The end result was that MACUSA decided to remove death potions from their execution procedures.

This story made Ron very uncomfortable (Harry suspected that it was because Snape had described the corrosion marks on the heart in too much detail and even included a picture).

I feel like this potion killer is just like Snape himself.

Then he was told off by Snape.

That's when I uttered that complaint.

Harry just felt that Ron was a little confused about this.

He wasn't bragging. Snape really cared about him very much.

Even during class, I never forget to observe his every move.

And think of all the words you can think of to praise him.

And Ron next to him was undoubtedly an eyesore in Snape's eyes.

It is inevitable to be criticized.

After all, Ron himself is not very good and likes to be distracted in class.

After Potions class, Professor Snape left a paper on undetectable poisons.

In response, Ron complained again, "What? I listened carefully to the story about the death potion. What do you mean by undetectable poison!"

After Harry gloated,
Then I controlled the corners of my mouth from twitching and forced myself to say calmly: "Didn't you hear?
Professor Snape listed several types. He said this is what we are going to learn today.

It’s just that due to our level and to prevent us from poisoning each other, there are no specific steps.

Just took us through it.

Let us go down and study according to the classification he provided.

We'll check it next class. He said so.

Obviously the homework is related to this!

That long story is just told in passing.

After all, isn't there a game this afternoon?

He also noticed that our minds were not on studying.”

In the end, even Harry was surprised that Professor Snape would become like this.

Even if everyone's mind is not on studying, he will not compromise on the content of the course.

Everyone is strictly required to practice brewing potions.

Also pay close attention to each student.

This is also why he is full of venom and partiality to students outside Slytherin.

This is why he is still a good teacher in the minds of a small number of Ravenclaw students.

But today he actually told a story!

Although the story will also be about potions.

Useful knowledge points are also interspersed in the story.

But compared with the previous Professor Snape, it is undoubtedly lazy.

Harry even noticed one thing - Professor Snape's praise of him had become less frequent, and his compliments were becoming more clichéd. Harry felt that they sounded familiar, as if the compliments from the previous class had been written in a different context and grammar.

"Is Professor Snape busy lately?" Harry asked Hannah who was about to go to the Potions classroom.

He knew that Hannah was well-informed.

Because of her gossip.

Hannah, who was chatting and laughing with Neville and Susan Bones, turned around and said, "Are you asking me, Harry?"

Her little face quickly flushed with excitement because of talking about the professor's privacy.

The eyes seemed to glow.

She quickly glanced around to make sure Professor Snape was not there, and said quickly, "I know a lot about Professor Snape!"
