Chapter 309
Looking at it so carefully, his slightly long, messy shoulder-length black hair really looked greasy as in the legend, and he was wearing a somewhat old robe. He was tall and thin.
His complexion is a bit unhealthy and sallow, and at first glance, it looks like he is suffering from stomach problems—Liu Quan thinks that maybe he really has stomach problems. He lacked the care and love of his parents when he was a child. Taking medicine and often missing mealtimes—and when viewed from the side, the big Roman-style aquiline nose on his face is particularly conspicuous.At this moment, he was concentrating on stirring the potion in the cauldron, with a particularly focused expression.
However, in order not to attract the attention of others, Liu Quan only saw so much.As a Gryffindor, her eyes linger on the side of Slytherin for a long time, but it will cause dissatisfaction or discussion among students on both sides.
Liu Quan quickly retracted his gaze, hesitated for a minute at the pile of ginger root slices on the table, and decided to take a risk.
Is it so cut... the book didn't say it clearly?There are always words like "cut into slices of appropriate size" or "add appropriate amount of XX ingredients", it is like reading a recipe of dark cuisine - such as "a little salt, appropriate amount of onion and ginger" and so on Ambiguous expressions, aren't they very similar? !
However, her good luck should support her not blowing up the cauldron, right?
Liu Quan followed the steps in the textbook and performed them one by one with full concentration.The mashed scarabs gave her no trouble, and when the liquid in the cauldron had boiled for five minutes, she reached for the sliced ginger root on the table, hesitated, grabbed them and threw them into the cauldron.
Immediately there was a crackling sound from her cauldron, startling Liu Quan and the other students around her.Fortunately, this somewhat reckless operation did not blow up the crucible immediately, but the water level of the liquid inside rose a lot, and there were bubbling bubbles at the mouth of the crucible.
Liu Quan glanced at Snape subconsciously, and found that his attention was finally attracted by the abnormality in her cauldron.At this moment, he has completed almost all the steps, just sitting there waiting for the potion to cool down before bottling and handing it in.But Liuquan's cauldron made an unusual noise, which made her a little bit at a loss for a while, and the Gryffindors around her began to give her advice.
"Turn off the fire early! Turn off the fire quickly! Otherwise the potion will overflow!"
"No, then the potion will be ruined, add armadillo bile and stir!"
"Add water, add water, your potion concentration is too high Lily..." This was Lily's roommate, Mary Macdonald, who was sitting in front of Liu Quan, and screamed as soon as she turned her head.
Her screaming made Liu Quan feel that things were going to end badly.And she didn't remember that the potion would be the same as the chemical solution, if the concentration was too high, it would need to be diluted with water; besides, even if it was a chemical solution, water should not be added casually, it might cause an explosion... But this pot is obviously almost hopeless Potions, obviously, are about to push her, "Gryffindor's best student", to the forefront.
In the chaos, she suddenly heard a hoarse boy who was in the period of voice change and said quickly: "Hmph, stupid Gryffindors! Obviously, it can be solved by stirring five more times clockwise! "
There was contemptuous sarcasm in the tone of that remark, and there was a burst of merry laughter from the Slytherin side.
The Gryffindors almost immediately stopped throwing Liu Quan's random tricks and turned to glaring at the Slytherins.James Potter—he didn't expect Liu Quan to be late for class on purpose, and chose a seat at the back. He was sitting at the front of the classroom and looking at this place eagerly—jumped up immediately, as if intending to grab those vicious little Snakes, beat them one by one.
"Hey! Snot—"
His buddy Remus Lupin immediately grabbed him.
Snape pursed his lips.
"What effect do you want to cut ginger root like that! Gryffindor wants to show too much, but you won't get bonus points for cutting ginger root as thin as a sheet of paper." He said sarcastically.
James almost shook Lupine's hand away.He looked as if he was going to jump up and slap the table again to fight Snape.
"you this--"
Liu Quan glared at James in time this time, preventing him from soliciting hatred.Then she immediately stirred five times clockwise, just as Snape's mean voice had said in the taunt just now.
The liquid in the crucible miraculously stopped bubbling and the water level returned to its normal level.It's a pity that the color is still a bit ugly-Liu Quan reckons that unless some extra materials are added to neutralize it, it will not be reversed.
Liu Quan pretended not to see the mysterious color of the potion in the crucible, calmly followed the steps to add armadillo bile, and turned off the fire.Everything that followed was fine.
Professor Slughorn smacked his lips, showing a very embarrassed look, and gave Liu Quan an E.But his expression has fully explained the fact that he "given the friendship points for Lily's consistent excellent performance".The Slytherins started discussing without shame, and looked at Liu Quan with malicious intent.
Liu Quan really wanted to slap the table and yell "Everyone is holding back the noise", but this is definitely a bad impulse to destroy the character.But being the focus of everyone's discussion is not very comfortable, especially when she herself is about to make Lily's image OOC.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered that a long time ago, when she was still in the world of this life, when she stepped into the gate of the school on the first day and looked at the strange things in front of her with anxiety, the sturdy girl from her family... The only instruction given to her by her mother.
[Keep your head up and your chest up and walk forward, if you don’t know what to do, just smile. 】
This is probably my mother's experience or secret to deal with [the malice of the world].But it's not very easy for Liu Quan - in the world of her own life, her skin will be tanned as soon as she tans, and even the best facial features are paired with black skin. In this kind of Xiuxiu society that pursues whitening and skin smoothing, the score is probably not good. Ask for a discount.
That's why Liu Quan has always believed that it doesn't matter whether you smile or not when you are at a loss, because when you smile, you will be treated like a spring breeze, and that is the prerogative of beautiful women—wait! !How did she forget!Now she's Lily!Flower of Gryffindor!Where can I find su, beautiful and excellent characters!
Liu Quan immediately thought about it quickly, and then made a choice, with a calm smile on his face [You guys quarrel, I will stand still].
... To tell the truth, in her imagination, the point of accurately conveying this kind of smile is probably similar to the one that must be found in middle-aged and elderly people's emoji packs [friends please drink this glass of friendship], the corners of the lips are slightly raised Going up, pursing your lips and showing a slight smile, you must make the receiving party feel the feeling of [friendship like a spring breeze blowing on your face].
This inscrutable (?) smile slowly took effect.As her smile continued, the debate in the classroom gradually became quieter. Professor Slughorn coughed and added encouragingly, "But this situation must be temporary, Lily, you are a person I look forward to very much." You are an excellent student from Shenzhen", and I made a good review for her.
... It's amazing that swiping emoticons can actually control the situation.
After class, Liu Quan quickly packed his things and rushed out of the classroom first.
... It is true that the boat of friendship is still so stable that it is moving, but it is indeed a bit ... stressful for James to ask her solicitously when her brain will return to normal eight times a day.
The history of magic class in the afternoon was finally passed safely, and it seemed that Professor Binns couldn't be more satisfied with Liu Quan, who was good at rote memorization - he slowly added fifteen points to Gryffindor.
This incident finally gave Liu Quan back some confidence that was about to be lost.However, early the next morning, Liu Quan, who left the dining table early because he forgot to bring his textbooks, and ran all the way back to the dormitory, was caught by Snape at a hidden corner in the corridor.
Liu Quan:? !
Snape's movements were actually very fast. He flashed out from the shadows around the corner and grabbed her arm. After she stood still, he quickly let go of his hand and looked around angrily. He pursed his lips for a while without speaking.
Liu Quan had no choice but to start the conversation by himself.
"Uh...Sev, what do you need from me?"
Snape's expression hardened.His pair of black eyes were full of careful precautions, as if Liu Quan could emit the green light of Avada Kedavra directly from his mouth in a minute, which was as dangerous as killing him.
Liu Quan was helpless.
...Didn't you grab me?What's going on with the cautious and fearful expression now?Just found out that I chose the wrong limb, so I want to load the file and start over?
Liu Quan had no choice but to resort to the trick he used yesterday - [Friends please drink this glass of friendship wine] emoticon package, smile - smile - smile -
Snape stared at her angrily with a disgusted expression, and was silent for a moment before uttering a word.
"Come to the Room of Requirement tonight!"
Then he tossed his school robe—already vaguely possessing the posture and aura of the billowing black robe of a Potions professor in the future—and left.
Liu Quan: ...I'm sure there won't be some wonderful date waiting for me, a counterfeit, right—no, I'm being paced by the professor anyway! !
In short, at night, when she pushed open the door of the Room of Requirement, and was worried about being pointed at her head with a wand by the enraged young professor again, as if she was about to give her an Avada in the next second, she did not Didn't get this poor treatment.
This time, the scene in the Room of Requirement she saw turned out to be the Potions classroom! !
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.And Snape, who was standing by the long table and was making potions, raised his eyes slightly and cast a glance at her, with a sneering sneer slowly rising from the corner of his lips.
"Does this remind you of something bad, imposter?"
Liu Quan: "...No, I'm just surprised."
After all, when who stepped into this wonderful room and saw potatoes, carrots, lettuce and other vegetables piled up on the long table, wouldn't his face suddenly become colorful?
Not aware of Snape's sharp hostility like last time, she walked to the long table with confidence.
As a result, in the next second, Snape picked up a gleaming kitchen knife—no, a knife!
