days at Hogwarts

Chapter 38 Snape's Test (High Energy Warning)
The third grade has Defense Against the Dark Arts class today, and the get out of class is over.

Professor Quirrell walked quickly to the restaurant with his head down, followed by George and Fred sneaking behind.

Loren and the others saw one of the twins, took out their wand and shouted at Professor Quirrell's head, "The scarf is flying."

The purple scarf was originally wrapped around Professor Quirrell's head. Under the effect of magic, starting from the exposed end, it suddenly wanted to untie from Professor Quirrell's head and fly up.

The speed of the scarf changing was not fast, and Professor Quirrell reacted quickly. He covered the scarf on his head in panic, and looked around to see who was playing the prank.

Brothers George and Fred were very familiar with such a scene. They immediately surrounded Ron from left to right, put their hands on Ron's shoulders, and said aloud to each other, pretending to be chatting with Ron loudly.

"Oh, Ronnie, I heard you wet the bed again last night!"

"The last time you wet the bed was last week!"

The surrounding eyes suddenly focused on Ron, and most of them showed surprise.

Anyone who is familiar with the twins knows that this is another prank and sympathizes with Ron.

Ron's face was burning red, "I will not spare you this time, die, George!"

Ron rushed towards the person on the right, but Ron's brother's arms were much longer than Ron's. He hugged Ron and said, "Look, our baby Ronnie is angry." After a pause, he continued, "But , I'm Fred, and that's George over there!"

George over there laughed and said, "As our younger brother, you can't tell us apart. This makes us sad."

Professor Quirrell over there didn't pay attention to the fight between the three red-haired brothers, and had already walked away.

George and Fred can also notice Quirrell go away.

"It seems that the Flying Curse can't deal with the scarf of the humanoid manure."

"We have to find another way."

"Maybe you can sneak attack during class."

"Goodbye Ronnie."

"We're going to get down to business."

The two said a word to each other, put Ron down, and ran away quickly.

Harry couldn't hold back his laughter, "When is the next time Ronnie wets the bed?"

"Harry, you are enough!" Ron smiled

The group went to lunch happily.

……

Professor Snape gave Loren a list of 25 books, and Loren had already read 4 of them, so he took the time to review them.

After thinking about what to say to Snape several times, he couldn't come up with the best answer in the end.

After dinner, Loren headed towards Snape's office.

Snape's office is located underground, next to the Slytherin lounge, and even the reliefs on the wall near the office are mainly dark green, dark green is somewhat dim, with a faint layer of black.

Loren had just arrived outside the office, before he knocked on the door, Snape's low voice came from inside: "Come in."

The office was dimly lit, and Snape was lowering his head to correct the homework received today.

He didn't greet Loren, and Loren began to look at the office.

The tables, bookshelves, and cabinets are nothing special, but the shelves along the walls are filled with glass jars.

Loren saw the eyeballs of various unknown creatures, a toad the size of a human head, and poisonous snakes with strange patterns, floating in liquids of various colors in different shapes.

These glass jars make the atmosphere of the whole office eerie.

"I hope you go back and tell Harry Potter and his little follower, Ron Weasley. If their homework is so similar, I'll ask them to copy it a hundred times." Snape didn't look up, The sound is also very calm.

"Understood, Professor." Loren was very obedient.

"From the very beginning of your approach, I knew that you had a different purpose. Then, tell me—" Snape raised his head, staring at Loren with eyes like a deep pool, "Mr. What do I get here?"

Regardless of whether Snape used Legilimency or not, Loren also looked directly at the Potions professor: "Potion of Wolfsbane, Professor."

Snape's eyes became surprised: "Werewolf? You?"

"No, my grandpa is a werewolf." Loren was straightforward, he didn't think playing tricks with Snape would have any good results.

"I need Wolfsbane potion to ease my grandfather's pain."

"Oh, werewolves!"

Snape's eyes were far-reaching, "Sad and pathetic..."

He thought of another werewolf, and the group of people he hated when he was a student.

When Snape was in sixth grade, he strayed into the Shrieking Shack on a full moon night and was almost killed by Lupine, but was saved by Harry's father James...

After a while, Snape came back to his senses, took a deep look at Loren, and said nothing.

Snape took Loren to his private storage room, and Loren discovered that there was actually another room hidden in this office.

Snape dragged two boxes over and opened the lid. One was empty, and the other was densely entangled with many poisonous snakes with black background and green stripes. There were probably dozens of them. Loren felt his scalp tingle when he saw it.

"Green Viper, once bitten, the wound will never heal, it will fester and fester..." Snape said as he stretched out his hand to pull one out of the densely packed snakes, and stretched its mouth open. Knock the fangs against the mouth of the test tube.

Loren watched the viscous venom rapidly secrete from the fangs, and the extruded venom accounted for one-fifth of the test tube.

Snape put the test tube back into the test tube rack, and casually threw the poisonous snake that had collected its venom into another empty box.

The poisonous snake that was thrown was restless and tried to crawl out.

Loren noticed that there was a ring of gold wire around the opening of both boxes.The poisonous snake crawled to the mouth of the box, and when it touched the golden thread, it would become stiff all over, and then fall back into the box.

"I want you to collect this chest of venom from vipers."

Snape's words made Loren's body go cold, and he replied forcefully, "Yes, I understand, Professor."

Snape ignored him, walked out of the storage room, and continued grading the homework.

Loren has never encountered such a scene in two lifetimes, and he repeatedly made mental construction for himself: these snakes should not really bite him, Snape would not put a student in such a danger, the poison mentioned earlier It should be scaring yourself.

After thinking about this level, Loren felt better and calmed down a little.

Loren took a deep breath, and stretched out his hand towards the snake box. The wet, cold, and greasy scales immediately occupied Loren's senses.As Loren had guessed, there were no snakes in the box that could bite.

He couldn't grab a snake as precisely and neatly as Snape did, and several snakes crawled up his arm, their scales brushing against Loren's skin.

Quickly withdrew his hand, with two snakes on his arm, he almost cursed out.

At this moment, the snake that had been twisting in its hand became quiet.

Loren breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that not only did it touch the golden thread, but as long as it exceeded the height of the golden thread, the snake would freeze and become quiet.

Take the venom step by step, place it, and Loren repeats these actions mechanically.Until the end, Loren was able to pick up the snake with a deadpan face, and he was able to concentrate on looking at the snake's lines.

After an unknown amount of time, Loren walked out of the storage room with a pale face and dull eyes: "Professor Snape, it's done."

"You go back." Snape didn't look up.

A wave of anger welled up in Loren's heart, but then he was deeply powerless. His spirit was already exhausted, and he finally left the office without saying anything.

"Come here every Friday night from now on, and drink Wolfsbane potion a week in advance, this month is already too late." Snape's voice came from behind.
