Chapter 17

Since Hoffa's mind was still on how to get the library's deformed books, he didn't pay much attention to Miranda's request. He replied casually, "OK, I'll go."

Miranda continued to whisper: "Palio was going to discuss with the dean to let her become a seeker directly. Unfortunately, goshak felt that freshmen could not join Quidditch, so he only let her be a substitute."

Hoffa is a little surprised. Isn't it the same as Harry's treatment? If goshak were a little looser, he would be another first grade seeker.

He turned to look at the girl in the middle of the crowd and thought this guy was a leading role. The seeker is the king of the team. Most of the famous people in previous lives were excellent in the Quidditch project.

James, Harry, Malfoy, Cedric, CHO, Chang, Krum, Ginny.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hoffa thought she was a bit like Hermione before, but now he seems to have a problem. She is an all-round player.

...

If Hoffa thinks that peaceful compromise works, it's a big mistake.

What happened next refreshed his three outlooks.

On Friday, Hoffa had two classes.

Defense against the dark arts and potions.

The defense against the dark arts course in this era has not been cursed, it is just a common course. The teacher was a retired old Auror, named alatia Meles. He's also the dean of Gryffindor.

He was very kind and humorous when he taught to the junior students, basically telling stories to the students. Vampires, werewolves, black goblins All kinds of monsters he faced when he was young. If Hoffa remembers correctly, he should be the last normal teacher in defense against the dark arts class. When he retires after seven years of teaching, Tom Riddell wants to get the position after graduation.

But after being rejected by Dumbledore and others, Tom Riddell cursed the position. Since then, no teacher can stay in this position for more than a year.

After the defense against the dark arts class in the morning, the potion class in the afternoon.

The professor of potions is Slughorn, Dean of Slytherin. Hoffa had an idea at lunch about the library's signature.

Compared with Snape, Slughorn is a good talker. He even gives Voldemort the secret of Horcruxes. He also gave Harry Potter his unbearable memory.

But the premise of all this is that you can get his approval.

Yes, Slughorn only associates with those students he thinks are valuable and promising, and regards them as the most precious collection of life. After his retirement, he would rather go back to the world in order to become Harry's teacher.

In short, this man not only judges people by their appearance, but also has some snobbishness.

But his heart is not bad, if Hoffa can get his approval, get a library book signature from him. It should not be difficult.

After all, Voldemort can be taught the secret of Horcruxes. What is a signature.

Hoffa was usually very casual in class, but today he went straight to the bathroom after dinner, cleaned up his appearance, and combed his black hair neatly behind his head.

It makes him look a lot more energetic. He's not ugly at all. After careful dressing, there are still some handsome people.

First impression is better, then act positive, Hoffa thinks he should be able to get Slughorn's attention.

The potion classroom is in the basement of Hogwarts. It's colder than the main building of the Castle above. There are glass jars along the wall, soaked in animal specimens and abnormal body organs. Hoffa thinks it's interesting here. Slytherin's common room should be nearby.

After entering the door, the basement is filled with light fog, full of all kinds of strange smell, and many bubbling crucibles.

Hoffa looked at them one by one, and he recognized all the potions he was making. Thanks to his superior spirit, he has recited more than half of the potion books. If Slughorn had a question to ask, he felt he could stand out.

The classroom table in the basement is round because there is a crucible in the middle.

Slytherin students sit at the same table as Ravenclaw students. As a result, Hoffa had to sit at the same table with aglia.

Unfortunately, Slytherin's table was very close to Ravenclaw, and Tom Riddell, the future demon, was sitting opposite Hoffa.

Hoffa suffered from the feeling of being attacked on both sides, but he didn't show it.

Soon after sitting down, the door of the underground classroom opened, and before the Slughorn showed up, the big belly came in. Then came a man with a sepiolite silver pipe in his mouth.

He was wearing a tight jacket, much younger than 50 years later, not bald, but also fatter.

His smile, the whole person like a huge smoking walrus.After entering the basement, Slughorn first swept his eyes around the students and stayed a little longer on agraia and Tom Riddell. Because these two people are the most outstanding in appearance.

Then he picked up the roster, took a glance at it and began to call the roll.

Hoffa thought that the purpose of the roll call was to see whether there were descendants of big families or famous witches among his students.

So when he ordered Tom mavolo, he was a little surprised. One more look at Tom in the crowd. Mavolo of the Gunter family is also a famous figure.

Hoffa thinks that Alexander, Voldemort is more handsome than him, and Voldemort has the aura of Salazar Slytherin. If you want to get the favor of this person, you must be very outstanding, or you will be like Ron, even the name can't be remembered by him. Not to mention getting the signature to the forbidden area.

After counting his name, Slughorn puffed out a cigarette ring and said happily, "OK, everyone, please take out the scales, the medicine bag and the magic potion and potion textbook."

There was a clatter of taking things in the classroom.

Hoffa is a little lost. Is it time for class?

"But..." Before that, I've prepared some potions to open your eyes. Let you first feel the magic of the potion. "

Then he pointed to Slytherin's table, a pot hissing and smoking crucible, and asked, "can someone answer, what is this medicine?"

Here we go! Hoffa was excited and raised his hand high.

Slughorn nodded happily as he saw someone raise his hand.

"Good, you say."

Hoffa stood up and said, "the cold resistant medicine is made of Daisy root and licorice juice in a ratio of one to nine, plus Shanghai leopard fat and mouse spleen. It is mostly used in northern Europe and Siberia."

"It's quite right to go back."

Slughorn said brightly.

"What's your name?" He didn't remember Hoffa's name

"Hoffa Bach, sir."

"Bach, that's good. Ravenclawa has five points."

Slughorn nodded to Hoffa and sat him down.

Hoffa is very happy. It seems that he made a good first impression on Slughorn. When he finishes the course, he may be able to stay and get a signature.

Agraia took her arm and snorted scornfully.

Tom Riddell of Slytherin's table leaned back in his chair with great interest.

Slughorn walked to another crucible with gray solvent and asked, "now, who can tell me what this potion is?"

There is no doubt that Hoffa's hand points to the sky again.

Slughorn showed a surprised expression: "Bach, very good, you can tell me."

Hoffa stood up again and said, "petrochemicals. It's made of stone warbler eggs, fire grey snake eggs, rock hanging moss, and a crypt spider eye. It's non-toxic. Its function is to make people fall into a short petrified state, lasting about 15 minutes. "

"Very accurate, very accurate! Huo FA. Ravenclaw added five points

He turned to the students and said, "what are you still doing? Don't you write it down?"

There was a rustle of parchment, and even Tom Riddell picked up his quill.

But there was only one person who didn't move.

It was agraia, who was leaning back in her chair, rubbing her chin and staring suspiciously at Hoffa.

She began to doubt Hoffa's purpose.

Hoffa noticed the ghostly look of agraia, but he didn't care. All his mind was on Slughorn. As long as you can get a good impression and get the signature, you can get the deformed book from the forbidden area.

When the students finished taking notes, Slughorn turned to a lavender crucible.

"Did you...

before he finished, he pointed to the sky with one hand.

But this time it's not Hoffa.

It's agraia.

Hoffa didn't expect to kill Cheng Yaojin, neither did Slughorn.

He bit his pipe and froze.

"Miss dreises, do you... Have any questions?"

Agraia stood straight up.

Pointing to the lavender cauldron, he said: "fear potion, if drunk, will make people produce hallucinogenic effect. If the quantity is enough, it will also make people suffer from mental trauma. It's an old technology of more than 100 years. (she shakes her head disdainfully.) the raw materials are crow feathers, short antlers, and a little black elf blood. It's supposed to be scarlet, but in order to make it look more deceptive, you add a purple mountain flower to it. (she slaps her mouth) - a poor trick, but it's enough to cheat someone.She aimed her eyes at Hoffa. "I'm afraid some people with shallow knowledge will think it's a recovery potion and drink it without hesitation."

Hoffa took a deep breath, his teeth gripping the inside of his lower lip, and sat in a chair without speaking.

Slughorn's eyes were full of surprise, but it was not over.

Agraia pointed to another crucible with a brilliant green light.

"The fluorescent agent is made from the sap of tree essence, shimmering mushroom and ghost skin, which can achieve the luminous effect of the whole body. Ancient witches discovered it by accident when some animals courted. But as far as I'm concerned, if you can add a little chameleon scales to the potion, it will make the fluorescent effect richer and more lasting... "

(a minute later, she's the only one left in the basement. Hoffa's face is livid, Slughorn's eyes are full of wonder.)

Agraia: "the This one is a lightweight medicine, which makes your body as light as a feather. The materials you use are eagle feathers, flying mushrooms and moon wings. But for me, this method is too old-fashioned, just a drop of purified siren blood can achieve the same effect "

(one minute later)

agraia" ... anti wolf potion, while targeting werewolves, if you can add a little wailing death knell, you can achieve the same effect on those dirty elements in human beings with evil intentions. It's a pity that you haven't achieved this...

(a minute later, Slughorn is sweating)

" Of course, I don't think the potions in this basement have no merit. For example, I think the sleeping potion you made is very unique. It can not only make the depressed wizard fall asleep, but also make the patients feel like they fall asleep naturally. "

Agraia pointed to a pot of colorless and transparent liquid in front of him and praised him a few words, which made Slughorn feel relieved.

But then the girl said:

"just because of the irresistible property of sleeping potion, this potion is controlled by the Ministry of magic and should not appear in the classroom of junior students. I think you should take it as a bonus item, but in case some people lack self-control "

Slughorn is sweating again.

I don't know how many minutes later, the silver haired girl in the middle of the classroom finally finished her long speech. She held her arms and scanned the classroom, smiling sarcastically when she saw Hoffa.

At last, Slughorn shivered, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Hoarse: "you, you... And, you and the president of the European Association of pharmacists, Igo moyses..."

"He's my incompetent great grandfather," said agraia scornfully

All the students took a cool breath.

Hoffa collapsed in his chair, looked up and breathed. the face turned ashy.

"Sure enough," Slughorn clapped his hands, "gifted, gifted, you're a born potion wizard! Ravenclawa 50 points! "

At the moment, he looked at agraia as if he were looking at a peerless jade.

As for who Hoffa is, he has long forgotten.

The whole class clapped behind Slughorn. Hoffa didn't. he closed his eyes. He was afraid that he could not contain the anger in his eyes.

...

after class, Slughorn cheerfully called out to aglia.

"By the way, miss drasse, I'll have a little dinner on the third of next month with some senior students. Do you have time for me?"

Agraia frowned and hesitated for a second.

Then she saw the gloomy face of Hoffa, and suddenly showed a clear look. She nodded happily to Slughorn and gave him a sweet smile.

"My pleasure, sir."

Hoffa strode out of the door. At the moment, he was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

It's all fucked up!

It's all smashed!

Now Slughorn only has aglia in his eyes. How can he get his signature?
