Chapter 121: Angry Snape

"Jon, what are you giggling?" During dinner, Zacharias-Smith curiously shook the knife in front of Jon's eyes and asked at the same time.
"Nothing!" Jon lowered his head quickly and closed his eyes.
I recalled the afternoon scene again in my mind--
"She snuggled in your arms and lay together under the willow tree by the pond;
Hands clasped together, looking up at the dying sunset;
The tree guarding Luo Guo stood on them, dancing and singing joyfully...
Everything is so beautiful, as if the whole world is held in your hands!
I hope the time will stop here..."
Until a looking fierce black hound emerged from nowhere.
It jumped in front of the two people excitedly, and licked Jon's shoes passionately.
Then, Hagrid's call came from a distance:
"Ya...Ya...Ya..."
The girl quickly got up like a frightened bird, then blushed and ran towards the castle with her head down.
Jon wanted to catch up, but he was tripped by a hound, and then he ran into Hagrid, who was approaching.
Professor Hagrid grabbed Jon and greeted eagerly: "I didn't fall anywhere, don't be so afraid of Fang, in fact it is very kind and timid..."
"...By the way, Hart, do you know a lot about magical animals..."
"...Welcome to my cottage in the future, I will invite you to eat rock cake..."
Finally got rid of Hagrid's claws and ran towards the castle, but there was still Astoria's shadow in sight.
"What's in a daze?" Zacharias poked Jon's arm with a fork, awakening him from the memory...
"Nothing, just want to eat dog meat hot pot!" Jon said bitterly.
...
After dinner, there was a riot in the corridor.
The cause was a quarrel between two Gryffindor fourth-graders and three Slytherin fourth-graders.
One of the Slytherin students lost because of the quarrel, and then became angry. He pulled out his wand and launched a sneak attack on a Gryffindor student from behind.
As a result, the sneak attack was unsuccessful, but Alastor Moody, the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, caught him.
An angry Professor Moody said that he is most uncomfortable with people who attack others behind their backs...
Then he used a very sophisticated transformation technique to turn that Slytherin student into a ferret, and then forced the ferret to do a high jump!
It was not until Professor McGonagall arrived that Professor Moody's behavior of over-discipling students was prevented.
And he transformed the Slytherin fourth-grader back into a human form.
Of course, Jon was only hearsay, and did not witness this incident with his own eyes. However, those Slytherin students have always been more arrogant and domineering, and Professor Moody's behavior has also gained a lot of reputation among Hufflepuff students.
At the same time, Professor Moody’s defense against the Dark Arts class seems to have a good reputation...
"Moody... he's so cool, isn't he?"
"It's not just cool, it's so cool!"
When Jon returned to the Hufflepuff common room, he heard Cedric Diggory talking to another Hufflepuff sixth grader.
"What's the matter?" Zacharias beside him couldn't help but ask.
"Professor Moody really understands!" Cedric said meaningfully: "He knows what black magic is and how to fight it..."
"We won't have the Defense Against the Dark Arts class until two days later!" Zacharias glanced at the class schedule and said disappointedly.
...
The first class on Tuesday morning was the potions class, and Jon came to the potions classroom very early.
Professor Severus Snape looked thinner and worse than before.
It may be that Lupin and Black were not able to successfully invest in Azkaban a few months ago, which hit him a bit hard; it may also be because of Moody’s "Auror"; there may be other reasons...
The Slytherin and Hufflepuff students also arrived one after the other, grouped according to their previous two years.
Astoria sat down next to Jon, she didn't dare to look up into Jon's eyes.
Snape watched the students arrived and began to talk about the content of the lesson:
Today they need to make a new medicine: shrinking solution.
For Jon, this medicine is not difficult at all.
But Astoria’s state is a bit abnormal; first the daisy's root cuts are of different sizes, and then when peeling the figs, she stabbed the paring knife into the fruit many times, wasting a lot of juice. Later, he passed the leeches' juice as mouse bile to Jon...
"What's the matter?" Jon lowered his head and asked softly.
"Jon..." She stammered, "I was... I'm sorry..."
"Nothing, I should be the one to say sorry!" Jon said quickly: "I wanted to catch up with you yesterday, but Professor Hagrid blocked him. He forced me to say a lot of things, and then I couldn't find it. it's your turn."
"So..." Astoria seemed to be relieved, and her mood seemed to be much better, she said softly: "Actually Jon... Yesterday, I..."
"This is the potions class!" A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind: "Not in the hallway or the lounge, where you can chat!"
...
Jon and Astoria both had to stand up, facing Severus Snape's somber face.
"Hart!" Professor Snape snarled, "Is your body shrinking potion ready?"
"I... sorry, Professor Snape!" Jon lowered his head. "Not yet."
Due to Astoria's many mistakes, the preparation of the shrinking potion actually failed. There was only a pool of orange potion in the cauldron.
"Huh!" Snape stared coldly at the pot of failed potion: "Then you still have the mind to chat with Miss Greengrass?"
Jon lowered his head ~EbookFREE.me~ dare not refute anything.
"Containment! Hufflepuff was deducted twenty points!" Snape said unceremoniously.
"But...Professor Snape..." Astoria couldn't help but said, her voice a little bit of crying.
Jon hurriedly kicked her calf, not letting her continue.
"Shut up, sit down!"
They had to sit down again, pour out all the orange potion in the cauldron, and start making up again.
Astoria's eyes were red, and the daisy root was carefully cut there...
Jon was cooking the figs in the cauldron while watching Snape secretly, thinking.
He always felt that Snape's condition today was a bit wrong!
