Chapter 29: Very Honest, Gryffindor points
"professor?"
Harry frowned and called out to Snape.
Why did I seem to hear him calling his mother's name just now?
Snape woke up suddenly, looked around the classroom and found that he was not dreaming.
But what about this girl in front of me?
Now all the little wizards in the classroom were staring at Snape, with the fire of gossip burning in their eyes, and they really wanted to know whose name he had just called out.
Snape had to explain!
He himself also discovered this and began to frantically think of countermeasures.
Lily……
Lily!
Snape finally figured it out. He said with a straight face: "This is a question I gave you. What will I get if I add powdered narcissus root to wormwood infusion? Obviously, your wooden heads didn't understand what I meant."
The daffodil he mentioned refers to a lily that looks like a daffodil in potion science.
brush--
Almost without thinking, Hermione raised her hand.
But Snape didn't ask anyone to answer, he didn't really want to ask a question in the first place.
What he was concerned about now was what was going on with this red-haired girl in front of him, why did she look so much like Lily! ?
Only the eyes are different. He looks a bit like that annoying James Potter.
"It seems like none of you know the answer."
Snape sneered repeatedly, then pretended to be calm and said to Harry: "Which college are you from? What's your name?"
"Professor, I'm Harry Potter." Harry whispered, "I was pranked and turned into a girl."
"Ha ha ha ha--"
Suddenly, Malfoy and his followers burst into laughter.
"Shut up!!!"
There was an unprecedented anger in Snape's tone. He stared at Malfoy coldly and asked, "Is it funny?"
Malfoy felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, no longer having the arrogant look he had before.
He shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's not funny..."
"If it's not funny, shut up!"
Snape said coldly, "Classmates should love each other, Mr. Malfoy, because of your rudeness, Slytherin will be deducted ten points."
At this moment, the Malfoys were dumbfounded.
No, Professor, are you serious?
Deduct points from Slytherin?
You are the Head of Slytherin!
Snape threw his robes, looked at Harry again, and said calmly: "Bo...Harry, are you saying that someone played a prank on you, using a spell?"
"I don't know." Harry shook his head. "Madam Pomfrey said it might be a potion, but she didn't know what kind..."
It turned out to be the case.
Snape nodded: "I didn't expect there is such a good, I mean, such an evil potion. Now you understand how important Potions class is, right?"
The little wizards below the stage nodded one after another.
"Well, since it's a potion, Harry, you stay for a moment and I'll help you check what kind of potion it is."
Snape's attitude was unprecedentedly gentle. "Do you know the answer to my question just now?"
What do you get when you add powdered narcissus root to an infusion of wormwood?
Harry shook his head blankly, "I don't know, Professor."
"Yeah, very honest."
Snape nodded and said, "Ten points to Gryffindor for your honesty."
hiss--
Now, everyone began to doubt whether the rumors they had heard about Snape before were true.
Or was it that Snape was actually replaced by someone else, and the one in front of me is a fake?
After asking one question, Snape didn't stop, he continued asking questions.
"Let's try this again. Harry, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you go?"
"I don't know, sir." "Well, very modest."
Snape seemed to have heard the most correct answer, "Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing. A true master always holds the heart of an apprentice!
"Ten points to Gryffindor for your modesty!"
This time, people in the classroom were not just gasping for air, but were already in an uproar!
Is Professor Snape so good?
It's totally unlike what the seniors said, that they target students everywhere and only give extra points to Slytherins!
"Harry, tell me, what is the difference between Aconitum naviculatum and Aconitum chamaejasme?"
This time, Harry himself felt something was wrong.
He felt that Snape didn't want to ask questions at all, but wanted to hear his voice.
Before he could speak, someone started arguing behind him.
"Professor! Me! Me!"
Perhaps because of the kindness Snape had shown before, some students who wanted to gain extra points for their college began to get restless.
Draco Malfoy is a particularly representative example.
He stood up from his seat, raised his arms, and shouted for him to answer. He was even more aggressive than Hermione!
Snape suppressed the urge to curse and frowned as he mentioned Malfoy's name.
Malfoy grinned, "Professor, I don't know!"
With Harry Potter demonstrating in front of us, how can we not learn by following him?
You can get extra points just by saying you don’t know. It’s so easy!
However, the development of the matter was completely beyond Malfoy's expectations -
"idiot!!!"
Snape cursed, "Do you think ignorance is something to be proud of? Mr. Malfoy, because of your stupidity, Slytherin will deduct another ten points!"
"me……"
Malfoy was stunned; Snape's curses sounded extremely harsh and shocking to him.
How dare you scold me? Even my mother has never scolded me!
Malfoy's mouth drooped and tears fell.
Hermione bumped Ron's arm and whispered, "See? That's real crying."
"If you want to cry, go outside the classroom!" Snape said impatiently, then turned to look at Harry and his expression changed again.
He said gently, "Sit down Harry, you've done very well today."
Harry sat down in a daze. Everything that had just happened seemed like a dream.
Is this Hogwarts?
It’s so good for yourself!
Potions class continued, but the situation of other students did not improve.
Students were divided into pairs and instructed to mix a simple potion to treat boils.
Snape walked around the classroom, dragging his very long black cloak, watching them weigh dry nettles and crush the fangs of snakes.
Almost all the students were criticized, except Harry. It seemed that Harry was Snape's favorite student.
"You have a talent for Potions!"
Snape stood beside Harry - he had been here at least five times - and praised, "I've never seen anyone crush a snake's fang into such a creative shape, five points for Gryffindor!
"Okay, keep making the potion!"
When Snape walked a little further away, Ron suddenly put his head close to Harry.
"Harry, how did you do that?"
Maybe because he saw Harry turn into a girl with his own eyes, Ron didn't have any psychological burden and stayed very close to Harry.
At this moment, Snape seemed to have eyes on his back. He turned around suddenly, stretched out his wand, and moved Ron's body horizontally to a far distance away from Harry.
"Mr. Weasley, didn't your parents tell you that you have to complete the task independently?"
Snape said coldly, "Gryffindor will be deducted ten points for your insolence!"
