As punishment, John had to polish the trophies in the trophy room for two months.
It is also because of this that John's name resounded throughout Hogwarts as soon as school started.
He is the most outstanding student this year.
Mrs. Norris, Filch's cat, licked the fur on her paws. Although this Maine Coon cat was big, it was ridiculously thin.
John also finished his day's work and waved to Loris.
"Bye bye, Mrs. Loris, I will bring you some cat food tomorrow and see if you can lose weight."
After saying hello, John left the trophy room first before Filch got angry.
Returning to the Slytherin lounge, John silenced the chatter of the little wizard inside as soon as he entered.
Every little wizard is afraid of his ferocious performance at the beginning of school, and some even call him the "boogeyman".
Because of his hair and his fierce skills that day, he was called this nickname.
The meaning is similar to that of evil spirits, which shows their fear of John.
John didn't take this to heart, he had his own purpose in fighting that fight.
As a wizard from a Muggle family, if you don't want to be Slytherin's bully, it's best to establish your own prestige.
Obviously, he did.
The price was that he lost his friends in Slytherin, but it was not without its benefits.
He started a series of tasks called ‘Night Demon’. As long as you complete the night tour for 100 hours, you can complete it and you will be rewarded with a ‘Night Demon’ blessing.
…
Returned to his room.
Afraid of another conflict with someone else, John was given a single room.
This makes him very satisfied, so he can also easily raise dogs and exercise.
When three-month-old Tom is active, he jumps up and down in the room, and sometimes provokes Basil, the Snowy Owl.
It’s just that doing this usually results in a wing from Basil, and then he will continue to be beaten after a short time.
The first thing he did after coming back was to start exercising.
This is his daily homework, and it is also a way to accumulate magic power.
[Strengthen your body: Improve your adaptability to magic through exercise, and absorb magic during the exercise. 】
"Where's the magic apprentice we agreed on? Why do I feel like I'm about to become a berserker?"
After the exercise, John touched his obviously enlarged muscles. Is it really good for a first grader to have eight-pack abs?
Whose magic power is accumulated by exercising, but I have been doing this for many years and have developed a habit.
Take a shower to end the day.
Chapter 7 Snape and the top student
The next day John went to the potions classroom.
As soon as he sat down, there was a lot of space around him.
When the Gryffindor people arrived, they saw John who stood out from the crowd.
Hermione and Neville both looked over worriedly, and John shrugged and gave him a look that was okay.
Class begins.
Snape was like a walking greasy bat. The wind blew up his robes as he walked, as if he was wearing a blower.
"This course doesn't require you to wave your wand stupidly or recite incantations."
Walking to the podium and standing still, Snape crossed his arms and looked around the students with sharp eyes.
Immediately he began his opening remarks.
"I can teach you how to confuse your mind and confuse your senses."
"I will teach you to win fame and create glory."
"I can even teach you how to live forever..."
John curled his lips when he heard these words. If you could teach this, would Voldemort still get Horcruxes?
Immediately, his eyes wandered to summon the panel. After training, his magic power increased somewhat.
…
[Magic: Level 1 (20/100)]
[Magic: Alajo Cave Opens (Level 3)]
[Skills: Short Weapon Mastery (Level 7), Polearm Weapon Mastery (Level 6), Heavy Weapon Mastery (Level 3), Thermal Weapon Mastery (Level 1)]
【Blessings: Physical fitness, quick attack, precision】
…
According to his calculation, he can get five points of magic power after training in one day.
He wondered if he could get some dumbbells and put them in the room.
He was distracted. Snape on the podium turned his eyes to John as he spoke, and he did not hide his disgust.
He said with a sarcastic tone, "Perhaps some of you already have a certain reputation and a small amount of power when you first arrive at Hogwarts, so you can be so arrogant that you don't listen to my lessons seriously!"
John came back to his senses and saw Malfoy's gloating expression next to him. He picked up the quill on the table expressionlessly.
Just such an action made Malfoy's smile stop abruptly.
Although Snape hated John, there was someone even more annoying here.
He did not hesitate to point the finger at Harry Potter, the savior.
"Mr. Potter."
"Tell me what would happen if you added narcissus root powder to mugwort infusion."
Harry Potter was a boarding child in a Muggle family some time ago, so of course he wouldn't know, so he shook his head innocently.
But Snape was determined to ask him, ignoring Hermione who raised her hands high next to her.
Continuing to ask aggressively: "Mr. Potter, if I want a bezoar, do you know where to find it?"
"I don't know, teacher."
"What is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?"
"have no idea."
After asking and answering, everyone knew that Snape was not interested in the Savior.
John couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
This is a famous scene after all.
It was this smile that made Snape's hatred transfer again.
"Mr. Wick, maybe you can tell Mr. Potter the answer to the question just now." Snape turned to look at John.
John looked confused as to why he had his own role.
[Ding, trigger the plot mission, complete Professor Snape’s question, and get the blessing: Academic Master]
[Xueba: 2 hours a day to enhance learning efficiency]
Can this also trigger a mission?
John's eyes were blank for a while. He quickly came back to his senses and recalled this paragraph carefully.
It was a coincidence that he couldn't remember many things, but he still remembered the famous Snape's Three Questions.
So he stood up and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "You can make a living **** decoction by adding narcissus root powder and mugwort extract."
"Bezoars can be found in goats' stomachs."
"There is no difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane. They are both the same plant."
After answering three questions confidently, John showed a reserved smile.
At this moment, the whole classroom fell silent.
Malfoy, who wanted to see John make a fool of himself, smiled stiffly. Snape was a little surprised, but it was more out of disgust that he had not achieved his goal.
He said coldly: "Sit down, Slytherin will gain 5 points, Gryffindor will lose 5 points."
Angry and angry, Slytherin must be given extra points, and Gryffindor must be deducted.
John shrugged and sat down, while his mind reminded him to get the blessing of the top student.
Snape's unvented anger successfully spread to other students, and Malfoy, who had just been gloating about his misfortune, was frightened to the point of being as obedient as a foal.
And Harry, Ron and other little lions looked at John as if they were looking at a hero.
After Potions class ended, the Slytherins went out in groups.
John seemed alone in the team.
…
Dining in the lobby.
John couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the so-called British delicacies. Even after eating it for so many years, he still couldn't help but miss Chinese delicacies occasionally.
Hermione came to John and watched John torturing the skinned potatoes with a fork. She couldn't help but asked worriedly: "John, are you okay?"
Hermione was very worried about John's situation in Slytherin, but she obviously underestimated John.
When John was struggling with why someone would eat potato peelings together, he said casually when he heard this: "Of course, don't you see they are all afraid of me?"
However, in order to comfort Hermione, John decided to put aside his grudge with Malfoy.
Glancing at Malfoy passing by, John stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Malfoy."
Malfoy stopped, watched John approaching with vigilance, and subconsciously took a step back.
Feeling that he was so embarrassed, he became angry and said: "Wick, what do you want to do, you..."
"If you dare to say so, I will send you to the school hospital." John smiled kindly, but Malfoy couldn't help but stand on end.
John patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, after all, I'm not a devil. We are all classmates. We can't see each other when we look up, so I won't go too far."
After saying that, he smiled at the two lackeys next to Malfoy, making Crabbe and Goyle shudder and nod hurriedly.
"See, Crabbe and Goyle both feel the same way, so let's make peace."
Malfoy looked at the two followers and said angrily: "You two idiots."
Looking at John's extended hand, he said harshly: "I refuse to be friends with you, and don't think you can be arrogant just because you defeated me in a sneak attack. Wizards should use magic to decide the outcome, not fists!"
John took his hand back indifferently. After listening to what he said, he immediately said: "Okay, let's find a place and have an honest fight. Don't nobles like duels? I'll satisfy you."
These words made Malfoy panic, and his neck still hurts.
He immediately stopped talking, lowered his head as if he hadn't heard, and left dejectedly.
John sat back and said to Hermione who was stunned: "Look, it's totally fine."
Hermione nodded confusedly, is this okay?
But the brain circuit of a top student is always special, so she discussed potions with John.
John was so confused that he ate up the food in a few mouthfuls, leaving the potato with the skin behind, and left in despair.
After all, he only knows those three, and he knows nothing about the others.
A large number of owls flew into the Great Hall, and Neville received a memory ball.
…
One thing that is very good about Hogwarts is that the classes are short and the breaks are long, with weekends off on Saturdays and Sundays.
