The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 383 A Different Course
Is there anything more unacceptable than being locked up right after school starts?
No, but one thing that was as annoying as being in detention at the beginning of term was Potions in the first class, facing Potions Master Severus Snape.

It was sunny outside the castle, but it was dark in the underground classroom.There were only ten students including Ada in the classroom, and of the remaining nine, Ida only knew Clark Gerald and Cedric Diggory.

Snape floated onto the podium like an old black bat, he glanced at the only ten students, and then said: "I told you when you were in the first grade, I will teach you how to brew glory , and even prevent death. Now that there are no idiots holding back, I think you can get in touch with some more advanced content... However, even though you have reached the standard of the advanced class, it does not mean that you can stay here forever, especially if a certain People who like to think themselves right."

In the underground classroom, the eyes of the students all looked at Ada, even an honest child like Clark was looking at Ada.These "meaningful" words could only be addressed to Ada, after all, no one else dared to stroke Snape's beard.

Don't you just stare at it, as if who can't.So, Ada looked back one by one with her eyes, her talking eyes seemed to be telling everyone: Look at what I do, look at the blackboard!

It is of course useful to look at the blackboard. The content that everyone will learn in this lesson has already appeared on the blackboard, the Potion of Living Hell.

Snape did not change the previous teaching method, and still adhered to the idea of ​​"the master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual".How to configure the living hell decoction and what raw materials are needed are all written in "Advanced Potion Production".

If this needs to be taught, may I ask if you don’t know how to read?

The classroom instantly remembered the sound of flipping books, followed by harsh scraping sounds, everyone was pulled in front of them by the crucible, and then there was the sound of weights being placed on the balance.

After finishing all this, everyone began to look down at the book again, checking the content on the tenth page of "Advanced Potion Making", and then ran frantically to the locker to find the corresponding raw materials.

Ada was not in such a hurry. She tied up her hair first, then rolled up her sleeves, and then began to make corresponding preparations.

Ten minutes later, the entire classroom was filled with light blue vapor.Snape was still the same, walking up and down in the underground classroom, looking at the students' works with a disgusted expression.

However, the students who can appear in the underground classroom at this time are all excellent students, and no one will make low-level mistakes, blow up the cauldron or become confused under Snape's gaze.

Ada's progress was the fastest in the classroom, and the potion in the cauldron was already brown, which was the ideal state when the potion was half boiled.At this time Snape also walked to Ada's side, watching her movements.

Ada had long been used to preparing potions under Snape's watchful eyes, and she continued to use the side of the silver knife to squeeze the sleepy beans to collect their juice.

When Ada finished her work and put the Sleepy Bean juice into the cauldron, Snape suddenly asked, "Is Miss Drizzt illiterate?"

The potion in the cauldron had turned light snow blue, and Ada said, "Learn, Professor Snape." She thought to herself, after knowing each other for so many years, do you know whether I can read or not?

"What's the deal with Sleepy Beans in that book?" Snape continued.

"Slice the sleepy beans." Ada answered Snape's question while continuing to stir the liquid in the crucible counterclockwise.

"Since you can read, what did you do just now?" Snape said, "Stop your movements and answer my question."

In Potions class, no matter what you do, it's easy to be spotted. Snape walked around Ida and asked a bunch of questions, which naturally attracted the attention of other students in the classroom, and everyone looked over.

How could it be possible that Snape was so obviously finding fault with Ada, because he didn't operate according to the standards in the book. As for going online like this?

Besides, Ida squeezed Sleepy Bean with a knife, this trick was still done by Snape who stole the teacher, only the governor was allowed to set fire?
"I thought Miss Drizzt was able to revise "Advanced Potion Making"!" Snape said in a very annoying tone, "Or is Miss Drizzt thinking that the textbook is useless?"

I couldn't bear the level, and Ada said directly: "Of course I don't have this ability. I learned it from an old bachelor! An old bachelor who doesn't like to wash his hair and has a heart smaller than a needle nose!"

"Because of your arrogance and foul language, Gryffindor will deduct five points." Snape said slowly, "Also, confinement, tonight."

"Sorry, Professor Snape, you're late. I'm going to Professor McGonagall's confinement tonight." Ada said, "As a teacher, please don't jump in line!"

Familiar taste, familiar formula, on the first day of school, Snape arranged a set meal for Ada with deduction of points and confinement in the first class.The narrow-minded Snape still didn't forgive Ida's behavior last semester.

The good mood of the day was ruined by Snape. It was not until sitting in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom in the afternoon that Ada's mood improved a little bit.Because Snape has always wanted to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he has never been able to do so.

When the class bell rang, Moody dragged his prosthetic leg into the classroom, and instead of speaking, he took out his curved wine bottle and took a swig.

Moody was like that when he first appeared in front of the students yesterday, and he was like that at lunch today.It seems that Moody is really worried about other people murdering him, so he only drinks what he has prepared.

The prosthetic leg stepped on the ground and made a "thump, thump" sound. Moody glanced at the "Dark Magic: A Guide to Self-Defense" on the student's desk, and said in a rough voice: "Put away these useless rags, you guys You can't use these things."

Moody shook his head, took out the roster and began to roll his name. His normal eye moved down the list, and his magic eye kept turning around, staring at every student who answered.

When Ada's name was called, Moody stopped suddenly, and he said, "Ah, I've heard your name before, whether it's my former Professor Lupine or my former colleagues in the Ministry of Magic, they all mentioned over you."

As Moody spoke, he showed a kind smile, which should only be felt by himself.When he smiled, the scarred face became even more distorted and weird, just two words "scared".

After calling the names, Moody said: "Well, you are already in the sixth grade, it's time to get in touch with illegal black magic spells, and have an intuitive understanding of black magic, otherwise why is this course called Defense Against the Dark Arts? .Although the Ministry of Magic has always complained about this, thinking that students should not be exposed to these things, the magic world is safe and peaceful... Fuck his Ministry of Magic! The group of people in the Ministry of Magic are soft-hearted, useless! They have nothing If not, the only thing they can do is to collect your body, if you have a body left."

The students in the classroom were excited at first because they thought Moody was going to show them the real thing.Then everyone looked at each other again, it seems that Moody has a lot of resentment towards the Ministry of Magic!
"If a person wants to use black magic against you, will he tell you that he will use black magic? No, he won't. When he is going to use black magic against you, you must be prepared to die!" Moody paused, then continued, "Or, accept cruelty worse than death."

Unforgivable Curses are called Unforgivable Curses, not just because they have no counterspells.The Killing Curse is death, the Cruciatus Curse is crueler torture than death, and the Imperius Curse is to control your soul.

Sometimes, death is a kind of kindness and a kind of relief.The most terrifying thing in this world is never death, but the inability to live and die.

"When facing a dark wizard, you have to be prepared to kill him at any time, or be killed by him at any time." Moody continued, "Life and death are only a matter of thought, what I want to do is to teach you how to fight in this Defeat the opponent in one thought."

Moody laughed hoarsely, then patted his big rough hands and said, "It seems that you seem to be frightened. This is different from what Dumbledore said. He said you were very brave."

"Now, can any of you tell me what the Unforgivable Curses are?"
