This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 25: Potions Class is so scary

Andrew sincerely hoped that his roommate could figure out the hidden things in the complex history of magic - it would be best if he could become an expert during school, and then when he was curious and asked for help, he could think for a few minutes and provide information such as the active period of ancient magic and roughly suspicious wizards.

It's just that this industry's employment scope is inherently smaller than other fields, and the Hogwarts board of directors would never consider hiring another professor of History of Magic in addition to Professor Binns.

I don’t know if it’s because of Harry Potter, but this class of students has the best professors as tutors in almost all subjects. In this respect, the whole grade benefits from Harry Potter.

History of Magic is one of the few courses that has only one professor.

While he was simply making up lies for Seuss, the two of them came to the library and had to interrupt this pleasant conversation. After that, they each borrowed the books they needed - Seuss borrowed a book on the history of magic, and Andrew borrowed a reference book that he didn't understand.

After finding an empty table to meet, the two of them immersed themselves in their own worlds.

+ + +
The next day, Andrew rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed. Thanks to the reference book he read yesterday, he finally figured out what it meant to pay attention to keeping the object whole when it could be dispersed when using Transfiguration.

But that was just a clarification. Follow-up required a lot of training. However, he failed to succeed yesterday before going to bed.

Although he wanted to try again in the morning, it was obviously impossible as the first class of the day was Potions.

To use the words of the seniors in the common room, if you don't want to experience constant cold violence for at least the next five years, then you can try to act a little stupid in class.

If you feel that life is too unchallenging, then you can try to provoke the head of Slytherin.

A strong fact can prove how much the dean is unwilling to hide his daily life - Slytherin successfully won the house cup for six years due to the dean's favoritism.

"But I don't know where I saw the review, saying that Professor Snape has a pretty good reputation."

During the discussion in the common room at night, Andrew asked a slightly disguised question based on the impression in his mind, which then caused the whole lounge to go wild.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"This is a really great joke!"

"This is a joke that's definitely worthy of being on the front page of the Daily Prophet!"

"A new product that is as good as Dumbledore's back-to-school joke! (Ah, you actually missed it, what a pity...)"

In the very sincere popular science lectures given by the senior students, Andrew finally understood the record of the Potions Professor - he could always deduct points from other colleges whenever he pleased, just as he would add points to his own college with any trivial excuse.

That alone would be fine, the Potions Professor also particularly enjoyed verbally attacking students, and could use a variety of methods to identify the worst-performing students and make an example of them.

But in terms of strength, the Potions professor was the strongest. He had real stuff and really taught it - compared to the Defense Against the Dark Arts class that occasionally had some shoddy materials and the History of Magic that had to be read from a textbook, Potions was still worth investing energy into and studying hard.

"And it's better for us, as long as you don't do anything stupid and don't deliberately pick on us. Gryffindor is miserable. That professor chooses a victim from Gryffindor every year..."

hiss…

It's a complete destruction of impression.

But Andrew is a man who listens to advice, especially on matters like this.

Therefore, he and his roommates rushed to the underground classroom for Potions class early.

That’s right, they found a seat slightly at the back, and this professor was by no means a pushover - he called the roll in the very first class... Perhaps everyone had a fairly complete understanding of this, and no one dared to skip class.

But it was no use - one Hufflepuff was docked a point for being disheveled.

"You are here to learn the precise science and exacting craft of potion-making - I find it hard to believe that you can be serious about potions when you can't even keep yourself in order.

"My class doesn't welcome fools. Although I don't expect every one of you to understand the charm of potions, I hope there will be fewer fools and idiots - although this wish will never come true."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at a student who was about to open a book.

"One point from Ravenclaw - it's not time for you to pick up your quill!"

The temperature in the classroom dropped a few degrees.

"You will never truly understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's veins, which makes people's hearts and minds excited and confused..."

"This doesn't sound like a legal thing..."

Andrew was distracted and forced himself to stop - fortunately, he interrupted quickly enough and did not lose points.

Perhaps because they were used to choosing victims from Gryffindor, the students of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff were not singled out for attack. However, in the first potion test, everyone was attacked in different ways - with occasional deductions of one point each, but the number of deductions was too large.

Andrew was not spared either. Although he tried his best to abide by laboratory regulations, his technique of crushing the snake's fangs was still severely criticized.

"I need crushed snake fangs, not bone fragments smashed by someone stupidly - one point deducted from Ravenclaw."

Although it was rough, Andrew noticed a difference when he reprocessed the snake's fang.

Magic potions are not simple chemical experiments. The materials used are too magical...

The crushed snake fang powder had tiny specks of light, while the ones he had smashed earlier had lost their luster because of such a slight difference.

Even if Andrew crushed it again, it still couldn't change the problem - because of the different processing methods, the material became completely two different things.

It’s simply outrageous…

Andrew complained in his heart and followed the steps strictly, but the result was still not ideal - the snake fang he processed for the second time was left for a little longer during the verification, so the effect was not good enough...

Without a doubt, it was another sarcasm, but no points were deducted.

Perhaps it was because too many points were deducted - at this moment Andrew already understood why others said that this professor won the college cup on his own, and he really deducted points.

"Both of our houses are like this... I'm afraid Gryffindor may... I heard that this professor will continue to put pressure on us... hiss..."

As he left the Potions classroom to breathe in the fresh air and admired it, Andrew thought of this question...

Very good, he finally understood why this professor had such a good reputation.
