Chapter 390 Snape's Classroom Test

"Continue to prepare the 'enhancer' in today's class. What is on your table is the mixture you prepared yourself in the previous class. If there are no mistakes in the last class, and if you follow the steps in this class, it will be the weekend of this week. It should be done."

"...the operation method and steps," Snape tapped the blackboard with his wand, and a large number of handwriting and patterns appeared immediately, "...all on the blackboard."

"in addition--"

In normal times, after this cold narration, Snape must have lost interest in the students in class and let them do it by themselves.

If it is done right and a qualified potion is refined, then there is nothing unusual; but if it is done wrong and the potion turns into poison, then it is all the fault of that student.

From Snape's point of view, anyone who couldn't even prepare a potion step by step according to his blackboard writing was a poorly made idiot, and there was no other possible explanation.

But today, his speech did not end there.

"In addition, maybe you can understand with your empty brains. Starting today, I have added a few new students to my class—"

Behind the desk, Snape said coldly.

"Six in total, to be exact. I don't know what you all learned at that old school, and I don't want to know—"

"In today's class, you don't have to do the same thing as the others. Everyone comes up to get a copy of the materials and complete the synergistic treatment of Salamander blood within half a class."

"...This is to be used in the enhancer. If you can process the enhanced salamander blood of sufficient quality on time, it will be used on your own subject in the next class."

Although this kind of synergistic treatment for a certain magic material is not a rare potion preparation technology. But in terms of difficulty, it is also something that can only be learned in fifth grade potions class.

Maybe the young wizards who have been studying under Snape have not noticed, but in fact, Snape's courses are more in-depth than other professors.

Can these students transferred from Minos really do well?

"...The synergistic treatment of salamander blood, we just learned it in the last class?" Hermione, who has always been familiar with the knowledge she has learned, couldn't help but whispered, "This is not fair!"

Since the classroom was very quiet from just now, Snape should have heard Hermione's words, but he didn't want to pay attention to it at all.

"...For those who cannot complete, I will submit a report to the principal's office and give corresponding demotion." Snape said mercilessly, "Then, let's begin."

"professor!"

Hermione glanced at Helen, who pursed her mouth and seemed a little clueless, and then raised her hand decisively. Snape looked her way, but Hermione was furious at what he said.

"Miss Know-It-All, you reminded me." He sneered sarcastically, and then continued, "I have to explain one more point, every freshman must have heard this sentence—in my Potions class, No raising of hands is allowed!"

Hermione gritted her teeth, and finally put her hand down.

"I thought you would continue as before..." Ron asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

"I thought about it. In fact, he did nothing wrong..." Hermione said unwillingly, "If there is a gap in knowledge due to not being solid enough, it must not be good for the students... But ...I absolutely do not agree with what he did!"

She said, then turned her head to look at Helen and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will help——I will also help you with tutoring if you haven't learned it!"

"Thank you!" Helen nodded obediently immediately, and smiled sweetly at Hermione.

On the other side, Sokas glanced at them,

Only then did he walk steadily towards the preparation table in front of the classroom with a calm face.

There are all kinds of magic materials piled up on the material preparation table, some are needed, and of course some are not. In the eyes of others, Snape was simply making things difficult for others.

But Sokas didn't hesitate much. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately set out to pick out all the materials he needed.

Of course, the main ingredient is salamander blood, and the rest are auxiliary ingredients.

In the process of potion preparation, most of the synergistic treatment of materials is not simply trying to "enhance" the magical effect of the materials themselves. In the process of enhancing the effect, it is often necessary to use some neutral or even relative materials to reconcile the stability of its magical nature.

So theoretically speaking, the potion master's enhancement processing of materials must pursue the greater the degree of amplification, the better; but in reality, it is necessary to find a balance point that can maintain the stability of the material effect.

Sokas, who has always been excellent in all subjects, is of course familiar with this knowledge, and he has even calculated the specific ratio of the required materials in his mind.

After obtaining enough materials, Sokas conveniently turned around and headed for his seat. At this moment, Helen, who had just figured out what materials to take under Hermione's whispered guidance, just walked forward.

The moment the two passed by each other, Sokas's peripheral vision flashed past Helen's side face covertly.

"Sokas, do you need my help?" Malfoy, whose cheeks were slightly swollen, said vaguely, but his mood seemed to have recovered a little. "I've always been good at synergizing salamander blood!"

"Thank you, but I won't bother you," Sokas nodded politely and reservedly. "It's a sin to use your friendship on such insignificant things."

"Hahaha - oops -"

Sokas's compliment obviously made Malfoy very happy, but when he laughed, he accidentally affected the injury on his cheek, and immediately he covered his side of his face and spat softly...

After a while, Helen held a handful of materials and carefully returned to her preparation table. Under Hermione's reminders from time to time, she frantically handled the materials, calculated the ratio, ignited the fire, and stirred in circles.

The preparation of potions requires considerable patience, and every step can't go wrong. Otherwise, sometimes even a whole month of hard work will be completely in vain.

Maybe it's because of Helen's good luck, or maybe it's because Hermione's instructions are clear and easy to understand. Although Helen's appearance always makes people sweat, the whole process was completed without any risk.

"Hermione, what do you think?" She seemed to be a little worried, pinching the test tube with two delicate fingers, staring at the faintly red liquid inside and said, "This... can satisfy Professor Snape's needs." Is there a test standard?"

"Oh, of course—" Hermione nodded and said, "The quality is quite good, there must be no problem!"

"If you put it in the eyes of other potion masters, it's probably what you said." Harry curled his lips and said.

"What do you mean?" Helen blinked her watery eyes and asked strangely.

Ron shrugged and said, "Harry means that if Snape doesn't make things difficult for you, then it's fine. Otherwise, it's hard to say..."

"Don't say these things are useless!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "We have done everything we can, and if it still fails, it will be Snape's fault!"

Seeing Helen tugging at her slender chestnut hair, she still seemed to hesitate, Hermione immediately leaned over and hugged her shoulder.

"Don't worry, if this fails, we'll go find Maca!"

However, for Helen, who came from the Minoan School of Magic in Greece, this sentence seemed a bit difficult to understand. Seeing her confused look, Hermione knew that this comforting sentence not only didn't have the desired effect, but made her even more confused.

"Anyway, it's all right!" Ron leaned forward and said, "Maca is Professor McLean of the Ancient Runes class, and we will find a chance to introduce it to you later."

Just a moment after they were talking softly, Snape, who had been sitting behind the podium with his eyes closed and meditating expressionlessly, suddenly knocked on the podium.

"The time is up, the six registered students will bring the processed salamander blood up for testing."

Hermione and the others didn't pay attention to the situation in Slytherin, but the three new students who were assigned to the fifth grade of Gryffindor College received some help from Hermione.

Although one of them doesn't seem to be very good at Potions, but it should be enough to get a pass, right?

"...Hmph, are you sure you did it yourself?"

In Snape's cold snort, Hermione and the student's expressions changed at the same time. Of course, the former is flushed with resentment, while the latter is pale with loss.

Malfoy below even laughed a few times, but then let out another cry of pain. It seemed that he couldn't open his arms until he went to the school hospital to reduce the swelling on his cheeks.

"...Barely," Snape glanced at Hermione, then corked the test tube in his hand, and put it in front of the student, "Next."

After that, two consecutive new Slytherin classmates also passed. Although Snape did not evaluate it as "barely" like the Gryffindor students, he was obviously not very satisfied either.

"professor."

Sokas stepped forward and handed the enhanced salamander blood he had prepared to Snape. He still had that calm and calm expression on his face, as if he didn't have the slightest worry about the materials he had processed.

Snape took the test tube casually, shook it slightly in front of his eyes, and took out the stopper again to smell it.

"Well," he said casually in Sokas's calm eyes, with the same bland tone as the previous few times, "qualified."

Sokas was obviously taken aback. When Snape handed the test tube back to him nonchalantly, he slowly stretched out his right hand and took it stiffly. ) Download Free Reader!!
