Hogwarts Scholar System

In this Potions class, they were learning how to make a shrinking potion. Although Maple had already learned how to make this potion through the notes given by Snape, he was still the same as other students in Snape's class. Made it honestly.

Due to time constraints in certain processes of the potion, Maple, who was already proficient in the shrinking potion, still took half the time of other students to complete the potion.

The time was shortened by half, and the production level far exceeded the level of students, but there was no praise or expression from Snape.

Snape only glanced at Maple during the whole lesson, and then ignored him after realizing that he had lived up to his notes.And he continued his sideshow in Potions class as usual, making fun of Harry and bullying Neville.

"Orange, Longbottom!" Because there was an error in adding mouse spleen and leech juice, the potion that was supposed to turn green turned orange.

"How can I explain this to your elm-headed mind, Longbottom?

Maybe we should give your pet toad a few drops of this potion and see what happens, which might inspire you to make the potion well. "

Under Snape's pressure, Neville was so frightened that he could hardly breathe.

"Who can help me!" Neville asked helplessly.

Snape went too far, but with Hermione's help, Maple didn't have to take action herself.

Although Maple did not help directly, he also assisted.

"Whisper!" This is a little magic for whispering invented by Maple. The magic is not difficult, but no wizard has ever bothered to study these little magics.

Under Maple's whispering magic, Hermione only needed to cover up the movements of her mouth to open and close, and then she could give instructions to Neville without any scruples.

When class was about to end, Snape asked everyone to gather around Neville's pot and test his potion on Neville's pet.

Although Neville's potion had turned into a normal green color after Hermione's correction, Neville still felt uncertain and looked worried.

Snape grabbed Neville's toad Leif in his hands. Neville didn't dare to resist at all. Then Snape took the potion from Neville's pot with a spoon and poured a few drops into Leif's throat.

The Gryffindor students were watching with worried faces, but on the contrary, the Slytherin students were all as excited as if they were celebrating a festival, and they all had a gloating smile.

But their smiles quickly froze, and they all showed disappointed expressions, because Leif was not poisoned by the master's potion, but turned into a tadpole after trembling a few times in Snape's hands.

The Gryffindor students cheered excitedly, but Snape's face suddenly darkened. He took a bottle of Shrinking Potion's recovery potion from his body to transform Leif from a tadpole back into a toad.Although Snape didn't see Hermione helping, he still deducted points from Hermione——

"Five points from Gryffindor. I told you not to help him, Miss Granger! get out of class is over now!"

After class, Maple noticed again that Hermione, who always walked with Maple, seemed to intentionally avoid him.Maple didn't mind at all, he knew that Hermione wanted to hide the time turner.However, the difference between them was misunderstood by Harry and Ron. The two impure little guys exchanged uneasy expressions with each other. They seemed to think that something unpleasant had happened between Maple and Hermione.

Maple walked up to Hermione, who had appeared at the bottom of the stairs at some point, and after saying a few words to her, the two separated, which further aggravated the misunderstanding between Harry and Ron.

The reason why Maple was not with Hermione or Harry Ron was because he was going to Snape's office.Even Hermione, who is extremely close to Maple now, is probably not very willing to go to this place with Maple.

"What are you doing here again?" Snape didn't seem to welcome Maple's arrival.

"I want to know the formula of Wolfsbane potion!" Maple said to Snape. Damocles Marcus had invented this potion not long ago, for which he also received the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

"What do you want this for?" Snape looked suspicious.

"I took in a group of werewolves in Knockturn Alley." Maple briefly told the story of how he entered Knockturn Alley to save Mary. However, he said that his encounter with the werewolves was an accidental encounter, not a deliberate one.But despite this, Snape was still shocked by Maple's behavior of taking in werewolves.

Although he criticized Maple's behavior, Snape himself did not like or dislike werewolves as a group.

All he hates is Lupine!

"Since you care so much about werewolves, I will leave it to you to prepare the potions for a certain werewolf in the school from now on!"

Maple didn't expect Snape to tell him the formula and preparation method of the Wolfsbane potion without refusing, but he also didn't expect that Snape would go along with the situation and give Lupin's Wolfsbane potion to Maple.

Probably under Dumbledore's surveillance, the best Snape could do was to add some weakening medicine to Lupine's Wolfsbane potion. What he thought was that poisoning him was absolutely impossible.

It's just that he can't retaliate against his former enemy, but he has to make medicine for him himself.Compared with the trivial pleasure of adding ingredients to Lupine's potion, Snape wanted to avoid the unpleasant task of brewing potion for his enemies.

This may be a good thing for Lupine, but not for Maple.

Because Snape refused to provide him with potion materials for free, this also meant that Maple's burden had increased a lot.

Although Maple saved some gold by not purchasing the finished product of Wolfsbane Potion directly, the cost of the materials required for Wolfsbane Potion alone was a huge expense.

Besides, this kind of magic potion only needs to be given once a month. Mapple suddenly felt that Alexander, it seems that the Acromantula will need to take more care of it this semester. I hope the activities of the basilisk in the last semester did not scare them away.

The configuration of the Wolfsbane potion was somewhat complicated. Even with Snape's improved notes, Maple was not sure that he could successfully configure the potion in three or two attempts.

Maple worked hard, but failed to get any support from Snape.However, after rejecting the sponsorship, Snape did not refuse again when Maple asked Snape for advice on how to handle magical creature ingredients.

It was determined from Snape that Maple's idea of ​​using food instead of a certain component of the potion to absorb the energy of the food was correct, but except for a blind cat meeting a dead mouse, all the things he made were useless.

Lord and minister, there are dozens of ingredients in a potion, including main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients. The main ingredient may utilize most of its magical properties, but the auxiliary ingredients may only make use of one of the medicinal properties, or may not retain any of them.

Adding it to a potion might just neutralize the toxicity or impurities of other materials!

Although she was a little unhappy with Snape's stinginess, Maple was in a good mood when she left Snape's office after getting a few recipes provided by Snape.
