Chapter 651: N.E.W.Ts Potion Class

The first day after school is still a sunny day, and the weather is so intoxicating. This is undoubtedly a good start for the freshmen.
Of course, the content of the first grade is relatively relaxed, and most courses are mainly adapted to the subject. Compared with them, Harry and others who have just entered the sixth grade will be much harder.
Yes, this year, the course is over.
In the .Ls exam, everyone's grades were not bad, so that this school year has a lot of room for further study selection. And since the professor of potion class is still Slughorn, there are obviously more students who continue to choose potion class this year. You know, when Snape taught in the past, the course was!
"... Harry, you listen to me, potion knowledge is very useful! It will be useful in the future whether it is a job search after graduation, or dealing with troubles in life, even when it is in danger! So I recommend……"
On the way to the potion class classroom, Hermione was walking beside Harry and Ron, and she kept talking incessantly.
"Hey! Hermione, I already understand." Harry reluctantly said, "Don't I have all chosen? You see, I have come to class with you, you don't have to reiterate its importance with me Now. "
"I don't think you have 'understood'!" Hermione glanced at him and said a bit unpleasantly, "Remember? Your review materials were used by me last semester, and even the review schedule was my help. You made it. You don't pay much attention to this course, don't I know? "
"Oh, Hermione, we will learn well--" Ron, who was aside, also came up. As Harry's good buddy, of course, he couldn't watch the other side being beaten by Hermione, "As long as the magic Pharmacy class is still in charge of Slughorn, and we can listen carefully, really! This is not like defense class ... "
"Listen carefully?" Hermione heard the words, and turned her head and stared at him suddenly. "Just 'listen carefully'? I tell you, lesson, do you understand? During the holidays, I have already taken the last two years of textbooks. I ’ve previewed them three times, but even then, I do n’t dare to say that I understand them all ... but you told me it was just 'listen carefully'? "
When Harry heard this, he immediately understood why Hermione was blocking them both at the beginning of school—co-authoring because she had already spent most of her vacation for these words?
"It's really hard for you. During the holiday, I didn't write all these words into the letter and sent us ..."-Of course Harry didn't dare to say this, but just muttered in his heart.
So Hermione walked all the way, until the three of them came to the corridor outside the potion lesson, and then they stopped barely. Seeing her conscience finally closed her mouth, Harry and Ron couldn't help looking at each other, then relieved.
There were probably more than thirty students in the hallway at this time. In terms of the number of students in Harry's term, this is actually quite a lot. However, it is surprising that among these more than thirty students, Hutchipach accounted for eight. If you look at the proportions of previous years, this is a huge leap!
Yes, although Hitchpitch College has always been characterized by the largest number of students, most of them are not good at magic pharmacy, curse science, and other subjects that are more talented, such as herbal medicine and metamorphosis. Their subject is their strength.
It seems that Maca, as a wizard out of Hitchparch, has gradually shown his influence on the academy.
Of course, Ernest McMillan is probably the most affected at Hutchwich College over the years. Even though Maca wasn't as good as Ernie, but where Maca couldn't see it, Ernie always regarded him as his best friend.
For Ernie, in addition to bragging about his relationship with Maca, he also naturally developed a chasing mind. Although it shows that most of you can't catch up, if you are questioned that his "Maka's friend" is too bad at the same time, isn't it a shame?
Right now, Ernie has passed the grade requirements of the advanced courses through his own efforts, and is standing here with those students who have also worked hard.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione," he saw the little lion trio approaching this side, and he greeted him, "I was so embarrassed in the morning at Snape's class! Isn't it? But I Say, even if Snape did get a corpse into the classroom, I wouldn't be scared at all-- "
"Oh, uh ... yeah!" Harry echoed with an awkward smile. "In terms of your skill, there's nothing to be afraid of."
If you have to say something, Ernie often shows a little bragging and showiness. But overall, he's a good guy, at least Harry doesn't hate being friends with him. Because only those who have worked hard know that behind Ernie's boastful talk, in fact, a lot of struggle is hidden.
"Yeah! You're right-there is nothing to be afraid of," Ernie Haha laughed. "How can the old member of. Be frightened by Snape's words? Ah, Hermione, What do you think will be different in the potion class for a while? It will definitely be harder? I see ... "
He also wanted to continue to show his confidence, but unexpectedly the bell rang in class, interrupting him. Then, the classroom door was opened.
After a holiday, Slughorn's figure was obviously "fuller" than last semester. Before he showed his face, his swollen belly first entered everyone's field of vision.
"Aha, have you all arrived?" The old bald man walked into the corridor outside with a smile, then glanced left and right, "Excellent, come-come in! Still like last semester, in the classroom Just feel free to go here, class ... "
This old man is as enthusiastic as last semester, and everyone who sees it is a kind and gentle smile. Of course, there are always a few people he likes, such as Harry's reputation, Sabini's family background, and amazing talents such as Hermione-these are amazing All his favorite treasures.
As soon as they entered the classroom, everyone quickly noticed a difference.
According to past classroom practice, Slughorn first demonstrated the preparation of a certain potion, and also explained the potion theory. Today, however, there are several crucibles of different sizes in the center of the classroom. The rich steam has accumulated on the ceiling and looks like a whole cloud.
Incidentally, the smell in the classroom is not smelling at all.
"Sit down first, sit down first! The first lesson of the potion class, I think I must congratulate you!" Slughorn said with a smile, his beard shaking lightly, "Yes Yes, at the end of the last semester, everyone was working very hard. I have to say that you have done very well, because you see-the effort has finally achieved results! That is not easy, I know ... Congratulations on your promotion to sixth grade!
The words did not end, and the students mostly applauded. Their efforts can be appreciated by others, which is certainly a happy thing, especially their efforts have been harvested.
"Then," Slughorn continued after the applause calmed down. "I believe everyone saw it-there are several crucibles here filled with different finished potions, two of which were just completed today! I think You must be so confused, after all, I never put several potions in one class before ... "
With his words, several students nodded again and again—these are little wizards who love learning. Surprisingly, Hermione, who has always been a leader among this small group of students, has not followed her today to focus on Slughorn.
In fact, the students near the leftmost golden crucible were distracted ... they seemed to be attracted by the medicine in the crucible.
"... Oh, I think you don't mind standing farther so that you can listen to me." Slughorn smiled and stepped forward two steps, turning the vent on the crucible lid to another Direction, "I know, the smell is wonderful, isn't it?"
With the aroma slightly away from ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Harry and Hermione, who stood nearby, took a step back, as if they had returned to God. Only then did they notice that they unknowingly rushed their noses to the vents, and the intoxicated expression caused other students to snicker.
"Okay, okay! For the sake of your can't wait, I'll be more direct," the old man spread his hand, ". The course is very difficult, but what will be said in future courses, It is therefore of great value. If you can absorb what you have learned into your mind, then they belong to you-when you graduate, I hope that you can put all these crucibles The potion is prepared independently. "
Having said that, Slughorn took a short pause, then reached for the lid of the crucible on the far right. Everyone immediately saw that the liquid inside was constantly rolling, clear and transparent, as if only the water in a crucible was inside.
"So, the first one!" He raised his hand and motioned, "Who can tell me, what potion is in it? If you can, you can simply talk about its efficacy."
Before the words fell, an unaware arm raised quickly in class. Suddenly, Harry even seemed to hear the whistling of the speed.
