Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Will Professor Snape kill me to silence me?

This is a question Qin Yu has been pondering for the past two days.

What happened that night could truly be described as a "social death," and a very thorough one at that.

He even pulled a Hogwarts oath of brotherhood?! He's definitely drunk, and most importantly, he brought Professor Snape along.

Anyone with a sound mind wouldn't have dragged Snape into calling him "Big Brother" and making him call him "Third Brother," would they? Just thinking about it afterward sends chills down your spine.

"I probably won't live to see this year's 'year-end banquet,'" Qin Yu thought to himself. (Note: A year-end banquet is a party held at the end of the school year, before the start of summer vacation.)

This caused him to frequently lose focus during the final exams of the academic year.

So much so that during the herbalism exam, his quill remained stuck on the paper for a long time, leaving a large smudge of ink, and Professor Sprout had to give him a new one.

Then, during the Charms exam, he peeled off the pineapple used to test his Levitation Charm skills, even gouging out its eyes. He instinctively planned to soak it in salt water, but fortunately, Professor Flitwick was kind and gave him a new one, even reminding him to pay attention to the exam questions. This saved his Charms exam from failing.

There was also a transformation exam where the mouse used as a transformation prop was turned into a tomato, and the question required a wine glass.

In short, if he hadn't been fairly popular among the professors, his exams this academic year would have been a complete failure.

……

“Severus, Qin seems a bit out of sorts during his exams lately. Do you know what happened to him?” Professor McGonagall asked Snape curiously at the Hogwarts faculty meeting.

Upon hearing this, Professor Snape closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his eyelids with long eyelashes, his eyes calm, and said indifferently, "Isn't it perfectly normal for him to behave abnormally?"

"..."

Professor McGonagall paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Well, that's true. If he acts too normally, it would be very abnormal."

“Ahem, that’s right, Qin…” Professor Swinton continued.

Then, when he felt Professor Snape's cold gaze, he decisively changed the subject, "Well, I heard that the Hog's Head has just received a good batch of redcurrant rum. I'm planning to invite all of you professors to try it. I wonder if you all have time after the exams?"

“Wow, that’s great!” Professor Flitwick exclaimed first.

"Thank you for the invitation, Professor Swinton. I will definitely go," Mrs. Hodge said.

The others echoed, saying they would definitely go, while Professor Trelawney showed a shy expression. She quite liked drinking and often drank sherry by herself.

Then, the brief meeting ended, and everyone left to continue preparing for the exams for each grade.

……

……

Soon, it will be time for the first-year Potions exam, a subject that requires both written and practical tests.

Early in the morning, Professor Snape put on his flowing black robe and buttoned it all the way up to his Adam's apple.

Snape glanced casually at his gaunt reflection in the mirror, then his gaze drifted to the classically styled rapier resting on the table.

Then, his usually expressionless face twitched slightly.

Then, he closed his eyes, and a series of incantations appeared in his mind:

Avada Kedavra, Imperishable Curse, Cruciatus Curse, Divine Shield, Fire Curse, Petrification Curse...

Having too many skills makes it difficult to choose.

However, the corners of his mouth unexpectedly curled up slightly, but of course, he quickly returned to his usual cold expression.

Smiling is a tiring thing for him.

Because it would remind him of the person who once made him smile from the bottom of his heart, the person he had once deeply hurt.

She was so beautiful, and her life was so short.

For the rest of his life, he will probably be thinking about why he failed to protect her.

His long robes concealed his tall figure, and indifference shrouded his dark eyes. As always, Professor Snape drifted away from the room.

……

"Today's exam topic is—concocting a potion of forgetfulness. All the materials and tools you need are at your disposal. Now, the exam officially begins!" Professor Snape spoke slowly to the students in the underground classroom where Potions was held, raising his voice.

Many people sighed upon hearing this, and then began frantically searching for the necessary items and weighing them appropriately.

Qin Yu watched Professor Snape's expression and behavior with some trepidation.

There was no way around it; it was the first time he had seen Snape in the past few days, and he was somewhat unsure of himself.

Qin Yu finally felt relieved when he was certain that the Si Sect had not shown any intention to kill him.

Then I focused on preparing the potion.

After a flurry of activity, as he added the last drop of valerian juice, the potion in the cauldron turned a pale purple, and the potion was officially complete.

"Hmm, not bad." A cold, familiar voice rang in Qin Yu's ears.

The sound startled him.

Then, turning around, Qin Yu saw Professor Snape's face, which was completely expressionless.

—Unbeknownst to Qin Yu, Si Jiao was already standing behind him. Perhaps because he was too focused on preparing the potion, Qin Yu hadn't noticed him at all.

“Professor Snape, um…” Qin Yu said somewhat hesitantly.

"Besides learning how to concoct potions, you must also remember their effects," Professor Snape said slowly and deliberately, as always.

"Uh, I will," Qin Yu nodded quickly.

Then, Professor Snape ignored him and walked away, watching the students in the classroom scratching their heads and desperately trying to remember the potion recipes, and making sure that someone's cauldron would suddenly explode so he could step in and clean up the mess.

As Professor Snape left, Qin Yu pondered his words.

Remember the effects of the forgetfulness potion? Ha, Professor Snape is hinting at me! Qin Yu finally realized.

Then, he was completely relieved.

Since the goal is simply to make him forget, it means that the events of that day will not be mentioned again, and the matter will be moved on.

Thinking of this, Qin Yu felt much better.

Then he realized that it seemed there was only one more exam left, the History of Magic. After finishing this exam, he could wait for the holidays.

What will be on the History of Magic exam?

Qin Yu thought about the course in his mind, hoping that the exam would start and end soon.
