The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

thump—

The door swung open, and Snape strode straight into the classroom.

As before, his greasy black hair was parted from the sides, framing the sallow face.

His appearance caused a trace of panic in the already silent classroom.

Everyone quickly placed all the textbooks and a full set of pharmaceutical tools on the table, and then looked up at Snape rather apprehensively.

"I haven't told you to take out the book yet." Snape swung his wand, the door closed, and he walked quickly to the podium, looking at the crowd with a blank expression, "I have something to say. You said that you want your concentration to be high."

After saying that, there was another rustling sound in the classroom.

After the classroom was completely quiet, Snape glanced at everyone with those indifferent eyes and said:

"Potions has a wide variety, a wide variety, and endless variety. This is a subject that requires a high degree of talent for learners. Incompetent people, even those with poor experience, can't really make achievements in this subject."

Snape slowly stepped down from the podium, "Since you have successfully sat here, then it shows that you are all gifted. But that doesn't make you proud, because, in my opinion, your talent, Just like the excrement from the Hushu Luoguo, it is invisible and stinky!"

Snape walked into the crowd, "I have to stress it to you again! I don't need trash in my class. You'd better face every modulation with the fullest energy and the most serious attitude. I found you half-hearted and made stupid mistakes, and the result of meeting you is to be expelled from my advanced class!"

After saying that, Snape slapped a Gryffindor student's desktop with a slap, almost jumping up in fright.

Seeing this, Snape returned to the podium contentedly and said loudly:

"Now, take out your textbooks and turn to page 87!"

The students immediately started to flip through the books, even Link and Emily - this is the most respectful way to Snape.

This year's potions textbook is "Advanced Potions Making".

As a textbook for the .. course, it sells for a whopping 20 Galleons, ten times the price of the first-grade potions textbook Magic Potions and Potions!

This is one of the reasons why there are so many Slytherin students here.

Expensive potions textbooks and expensive materials that may need to be supplemented at their own expense are simply beyond the reach of Muggle-blood wizards and most single-wizard-working families.

Only the pure-blood nobles of Slytherin can let their children learn potions without any scruples.

This is an invisible intellectual and class barrier.

Because he had already started to learn about potions, Link was quite familiar with this book "Advanced Potions Making", and he turned to page 87 with a casual glance.

I saw that the title above was clearly written in a slightly larger font - Superior Licorice Grass Neutralizer.

"What we're going to make today is 'Superior Licorice Grass Neutralizer'. It's a fairly advanced semi-finished drug. It's quite unstable in nature and may cause continuous explosions if handled incorrectly. It's often used to formulate Fuling Of course, you can also throw it out to defend against the enemy. But I don't recommend that you do this."

With a flick of Snape's wand, a box full of licorice grass and other materials was stacked on the podium, "Okay! Now everyone, start preparing!"

After Snape's order was issued, the students in the classroom began to line up in an orderly manner to go to the podium to receive materials.

And Link and Emily were sitting in their seats and looking at Snape with strange eyes.

As an existence that could be said to be a direct disciple of Snape, Link naturally made the 'Superior Licorice Grass Neutralizer'.

Therefore, he is also very clear that just now Snape seemed to have clearly stated all the functions and risks of 'Glycyrrhiza Neutralizer', but in fact he was not aware of the fact that 'Glycyrrhiza Neutralizer' would explode. The past is summed up simply by 'unstable in nature' and 'not recommended for actual combat'.

In fact, the nature of 'Ganlin Grass Neutralizer' can no longer be described as unstable.

It simply explodes at the touch!

Especially in the production process, as long as the producer makes a little mistake, it will blow your face directly!

Link was hurt by it!

Snape is cheating!

Perhaps sensing the gazes of Link and Emily, Snape suddenly turned his head to look at Link.

This made Link and Emily hurriedly get up and go to the line to get the forage too.

They wouldn't expose Snape's careful thinking. Anyway, the 'Advanced Liquor Neutralizer' was not a difficult potion for them, and it was very easy to make.

If they really want to expose Snape now, who knows what stingy Snape will come up with to get revenge.

However, Snape obviously didn't want to let Link and Emily pass the test easily.

"Link, Emily, please return to your seats."

While commanding Link and Emily, Snape took out two slightly smaller cloth bags and placed them on their desks, "Since your level is much higher than others, so your classmates in this class are The mission is not 'Superior Lime Grass Neutralizer', but - Ecstasy."

After all, Snape had a rare gloating smile on his face.

When Link and Emily heard the words, they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

You must know that Link's potion level has reached the standard of a quasi-potion master after Snape's careful teaching and the study of the Slytherin Magic Book.

The yield and yield rate of high-level potions that can be made like Ecstasy are still poor.

This was purely caused by too few practice sessions, because in the follow-up Link, he devoted most of his single-time energy to learning magic spells to improve his combat effectiveness.

As for Emily, not to mention.

"Why are you still standing still? Let's start quickly."

Snape said and helped to open all the materials of the two small sacks and pushed them in front of Link and Emily.

"Professor," Link said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "you're going too far. I'm fine, but Emily..."

"Why would I have known today? You have such an outstanding talent for potions. If you usually spend more time on potion practice, you won't be in this situation." Snape interrupted bluntly. "Since you're so worried about your fiancée, then you can also make the part that you helped her directly. Hehe, I'm optimistic about you making two copies in the production time of one potion."

Snape walked away without looking back, leaving Link and Emily sitting in their seats with tangled expressions.

"Sorry, dear, I'm holding you back."

Emily lowered her head and said softly, hearing that Link smiled and comforted:

"It's not your fault, isn't it just two love potions? It's nothing. Come on, help heat the cauldron first."

Emily nodded and agreed, while Link was fully activated with the Super Sense Charm and Occlumency, and went directly into a state of absolute sanity to start checking the materials given by Snape first.

After confirming that these materials were all intact and had not been manipulated by Snape, the preliminary processing of the materials began.

During this whole process, he did not take a look at "Advanced Potions Making" at all, but turned around and opened a book of his own potions.

The pharmaceutical processes recorded above were all improved versions taught by Snape himself. The production time was shorter, and the yield and yield were higher, far beyond the "Advanced Potions Making" book.

Thanks to this improved recipe, Link's production process finally became easier, and he even had time to look at what Snape was doing.

However, in Link's eyes looking at Snape, there was some resentment that Occlumency couldn't hide.

Link actually understood that Snape wanted to take this opportunity to get him and Emily to refocus their studies on Potions.

At the same time, there may be some thoughts that want to take the two of them to stand out.

But Snape's approach was quite inappropriate.

Just think about it.

Link and Emily are two people, one is the strongest wizard recognized by Hogwarts, and the other is a well-known Slytherin master, a leader-level figure.

If the two of them fell into the first potions class this semester, what would other students think of them?

This will directly cause them to lose face, or even become a joke.

But in Link's plan for this school year, the prestige of him and Emily is the most important part.

To be honest, this made Link a little dumbfounded.

Umbridge, the opponent he had always been wary of, hadn't done anything to him, but Snape, whom he regarded as his own, stabbed him in the back.

This life is really amazing.

Link sighed a little, and then continued to start the high-intensity potion refining.

Emily has also been helping out during this time.

Although she has no experience in refining the Ecstasy Potion, her basic skills are quite solid. With her help in handling the materials, Link is much more relaxed. Perhaps it is not impossible to complete the refining of two bottles of Ecstasy Potion ahead of schedule.

At the same time, John and the others also officially entered the configuration of the 'Superior Glycyrrhiza Neutralizer'.

But they obviously didn't suffer from the unstable potion like 'Superior Gan Lin Cao Neutralizer'.

bang——

A Slytherin boy's cauldron suddenly exploded.

A huge black smoke and stench engulfed it in an instant.

And this sudden explosion also startled the other students around who were concentrating on preparing the neutralizer.

With their hands shaking, the explosion naturally caused a series of chain reactions.

"The outer skin of the licorice grass is not completely peeled off, and Hufflepuff will deduct 5 points."

"Stir too hard when boiling the solution, 10 points for Gryffindor!"

"Too little slug mucus, 5 points from Ravenclaw."

"The licorice grass is too much. Well, it's a miracle that you have held out until it hasn't exploded yet. Slytherin adds 5 points."

...

Snape kept moving between the desks, pointing out mistakes and deducting points for the students, while also lighting the smoke from the explosion with his wand.

With his 'effort', the chaotic classroom gradually returned to calm.

In this respect, he is definitely a good professor who is conscientious and conscientious.

Of course, before making that conclusion, you first have to ignore his deductions and bonuses for distinguishing between Slytherin and other academies, and the smirk on his face that was clearly entertaining when he did these things. .

It is not easy to ignore these. When facing the proud eyes of the Slytherin students, many Gryffindor and Ravenclaw students present showed angry expressions.

Fortunately, the students who continued to enroll in the potions class in 6th grade only came to learn potion making. In fact, they were already well prepared to deal with this situation, so they were not like some of the lower grades. It's better to get a hard-to-finish situation with your head like that with Snape.

Time passed slowly amid the constant explosion of the cauldron and Snape's yin-yang scolding.

Finally, in the ten minutes to the end of the morning class, the two pots of infatuation potions in front of Link finally changed color, and at the same time, a familiar and charming aroma spewed out of the pots.

Link was greatly relieved upon seeing this, while Emily took a deep breath of the aroma in the cauldron while she was relaxing, and then approached Link and asked:

"What did you smell in there?"

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Link's mouth rose unconsciously.

As the most powerful and notorious love potion of this century, the most notable way to identify the love potion is that the smell of the finished potion will automatically change to the smeller's favorite smell.

So Emily's meaning of asking this question naturally needs no further explanation.

Link buried his head in Emily's neck and took a deep breath.

"Yeah! That's the smell, the combination of plum blossoms and apricot blossoms. But you changed your shower gel yesterday or didn't take a bath at all. Why did I smell a strange smell?"

"oops!"

Emily pushed Link away in annoyance, "Guess what I smelled from the cauldron?"

"what?"

"Of course it's your stench."

"Wow! How dare you call me stinky!"

Link smiled and scolded and reached out to grab Emily, while Emily avoided it with a smile.

The laughter of the two attracted the attention of many people around.

Until Snape silently stood at the table for the two of them.

"Ugh!"

Snape's snort finally put Link and Emily to rest.

Snape's indifferent gaze swept across Link and Emily, and landed on the two pots of Ecstasy that were still bubbling. In the end, he said nothing, snorted again, and walked to the podium.

This made both Emily and Link, who were familiar with Snape's character, smile. Emily stuck out her tongue at Snape mischievously, and upon seeing this, Link quietly raised his middle finger.

Snape didn't notice it.

He finally glanced at the bell in the corner, and said to the crowd with a blank expression:

"I'm very disappointed, there are still 5 people in such a simple potion that could not be successfully refined in the end, you guys are really the worst I have ever brought!

All the members, write me an analysis paper on 'Ganlin Grass Neutralizer' when you go back. Under the premise of using standard fonts, the length of the paper should not be less than 15 cm!

If the crucible has exploded today, the length must not be less than 20 cm!

As for the ones that have not been completed until now, the length should not be less than 40 cm!

Now! get out of class! "
