On the way back, Sean thought about the meaning of Dumbledore's last words.
It's time to go to class, and you still have to go to class.
He waited for the stairs in front of him to be reset and lifted his chin.
Dumbledore meant that he should take Voldemort's Defense Against the Dark Arts class?
No, it should be the Magic Attack and Defense class now.
He thoughtfully walked up the stairs, wondering what Dumbledore meant. Riddle did not dare to act rashly under his hands, so let Sean extract more knowledge from the opponent?
It seems to make sense. After all, at Hogwarts, it is impossible for the other party to blatantly teach black magic.
Shawn, who had cleared up his doubts, returned to the Ravenclaw common room, and suddenly found that it was so late, and there were still many people reading books in the lounge, and everyone's brows were tightly locked.
Sean took a look, most of them were senior students, and they were holding a copy of "Advanced Potions Making" by Libaxiu Pollach.
Potions... Sean froze in place, the corners of his eyes twitched.
By the way, and Snape...
……
In the principal's office, Dumbledore, who appeared from the fire, looked tired and his lips were a little dry.
He glanced at the man in the center of the office who was exactly like him, and said, "Gellert, are you keeping an eye on him?"
Dumbledore in the center of the office twitched for a while, and gradually turned into the appearance of Grindelwald. He smiled with his hands behind his back: "Of course, but Albus, you are overly worried, it's just a shell."
Dumbledore gave Grindelwald a deep look: "I was wondering if I made a mistake."
Grindelwald smiled happily: "My old friend, you are on the right path."
"I hope so..." Dumbledore walked to the desk and opened the drawer, took out a glass bottle and drank it.
He wiped his mouth and looked at Grindelwald who was smiling: "Gellert, it's time for you to go back to Nurmengard."
With an exaggerated "Oh", Grindelwald spread his hands and said, "Albus, I did you a big favor and didn't let me stay at Hogwarts for the night?"
"Gellert..." Dumbledore's expression became much more serious.
As if he said something that shouldn't be said, Grindelwald shrugged and didn't say more.
Dumbledore's gaze rested on the perch behind the door again, his eyes were fixed, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
……
The next day, Sean got up early. He took out "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" and "Magic Potions and Potions" for a while, looking down.
Seeing his unpleasant expression, Hermione wondered, "What's the matter, Sean, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Sean showed a forced smile: "I'm not very good at potions, the new professor is here, I'm a little nervous..."
"It's not like you. Let's go. The first class is Potions. I don't want to be late."
Sean sighed and followed the girl's pace.
Fortunately, among the misfortunes, the four academies merged to teach together.
Harry, it's up to you! Sean thought to himself.
The familiar potions classroom was enlarged a lot by magic, and the temperature of the originally gloomy basement dropped a lot after Snape walked in.
Although the first-year wizards were not familiar with this potions teacher, they knew that Snape was not a good gentleman like Professor Flitwick.
Snape walked quickly to the podium, then glanced at everyone in the circle with his gloomy eyes.
When Sean was seen, he felt that a "Danger!" was printed on his forehead.
damn……
Snape picked up the roll and started the roll, pausing as he read Harry's name.
Harry obviously didn't know who the other party was. He held his chest out. As Slughorn's Potions Prince, Harry always had pride in Potions class.
"Harry Potter—" Snape extended his voice, "has been excellent in all previous assignments—seems to be a celebrity."
There was a low laugh from Slytherin, and it seemed that they had already learned about Snape's temperament from the mouths of the seniors.
Harry's smile froze awkwardly on his face, and he could hear the sarcasm in the new professor's words.
Snape skipped Harry and continued the roll call, then paused at a name.
"Sean Wallup."
Here... Sean gave a wry smile and raised his hand to signal that he had arrived.
"why do not you answer me?"
"Uh, here it is!"
"Ravenclaw will deduct one point for your sloppy attitude."
This... The corners of Sean's mouth twitched, his hatred is still higher than Harry's? !
After the roll was finished, Snape slowly closed the roll, he glanced at the crowd again, and said in a cold voice slightly higher than a whisper: "I don't know what you have learned before, but here, you have to start from scratch.”
Everyone heard his words clearly, and their backs stood up unconsciously.
"Of course, I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of that slow-simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrance wafting out of itYou don't really understand the fluid that flows into people's blood vessels, it's heart-wrenching That magical power of ecstasy, of mind blur... I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even prevent death—but there must be one thing, and that is that you are not the idiots I often encounter."
Nothing has changed... Sean kept his mouth shut like everyone else, and the audience was silent.
"Potter!" Snape asked suddenly, "What's the key to cooking Cysthornworms?"
Harry stood up quickly: "When the smoke from the cauldron turns green, use a silver knife to make a small incision in the worm's head, Professor."
"When should the flower dew of Moonlight Flower be collected to achieve the maximum medicinal effect?"
"The first full moon after flowering, Professor."
"If I need a bezoar, where do I find it?"
"Bezoar is a powerful detoxifying stone in the stomach of a goat, of course, provided that the goat is constipated first." Harry spread his hands, which caused a chuckle.
"Potter—" Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you think you're very humorous?"
"Of course not, sir, I just wanted to adjust the atmosphere in the class by the way." Harry shrugged.
Snape's eyes became more and more gloomy. Obviously, Harry's behavior made him quite familiar...
"Because you contradicted the teacher, Gryffindor will deduct one point."
"Sir!" Harry's eyes widened in confusion.
"One more point from Gryffindor, because you disturbed my progress in class," Snape continued.
Harry opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but in the end he sat down angrily.
Thank you, Harry.
Sean breathed a sigh of relief.
