Together [HP]

Jacqueline turned around, picked up all the parchment from the table, and was about to go back to her office, but to her surprise, Hermione didn't start packing her schoolbag for her next class, just Instead she rolled up her sleeves again, cleared her desk, spread out her books, and began to read again.

"My girlfriend is reluctant to leave here?" Jacqueline put down the stack of parchment in her hand, she walked off the podium and stood beside Hermione, watching her fingertips swipe between the lines in the book. "The next class will start soon."

"I have no class for the next class." Hermione said without raising her head, "not to mention that my Potions teacher said that it is impossible to make a qualified potion at a time, so I decided to Start making it now."

Jacqueline laughed, she put her hand around Hermione's palm, gently lifted Hermione's chin, forcing her to look at her.Hermione frowned a little dissatisfied, "Jacqueline, I need..."

"You need to take a break." Jacqueline said she covered Hermione's eyes with her hand, but Hermione pulled her hand away.

"Jacqueline," Hermione frowned, "I don't want to be criticized like today in the next class."

Jacqueline spread her hands innocently, "You can't wrong me like this, Miss Granger. I didn't criticize you today."

"That's because you see me as your girlfriend." Hermione said with a sullen face, "What's more, I have to earn back the points you deducted from our Gryffindors. Our Gryffindors will definitely Will not lose to you Slytherins."

Jacqueline laughed softly, having a girlfriend who is too competitive, it is very difficult for herself.

"Okay." Jacqueline nodded slightly, and she raised her hand again to cover Hermione's eyes.

"Jacqueline!" Hermione yelled, but Jacqueline stopped her.

"Let's play a game." Jacqueline said softly, "If you guess everything correctly, I will reward you with twenty points."

"I don't want you to cheat!" Hermione yelled.

Jacqueline laughed softly, "This score is not so easy to get, Miss Granger. Even I can't be sure that I guess correctly every time."

"But still," said Hermione, "you're awarding me points privately, that's just not right. I'm going to win and you have to win straight. I'm going to earn points back from you in class!"

Jacqueline shook her head helplessly, "Okay, okay. My honest girlfriend, then let's treat it as you playing a game with your girlfriend, okay?"

Hermione frowned slightly, but she didn't refuse again.

"Then," Jacqueline said softly, "I'm going to put a certain medicinal material on your table into your hands next, and you can tell me what medicinal material it is by touching its appearance and its smell. okay?"

Hermione thought about it for a while, and she also realized that it was not easy.Although there are only a handful of herbs on her table, and there are only a few of them with the same appearance, it is probably very difficult to be 100% correct.

"Are you ready?" Jacqueline asked with a chuckle, and Hermione nodded as if facing a formidable enemy.Even Jacqueline couldn't help being nervous like this.

"Relax, Hermione." Jacqueline said softly, "This is just a game." As Jacqueline spoke, she glanced at Hermione's table, and then she took the root of the easiest fig to distinguish Put it in Hermione's hand.

Hermione recognized it right away, but she didn't look happy. "It's so easy, Jacqueline," said Hermione. It takes something so simple to find confidence."

Jacqueline laughed. Her girlfriend thought it was over?Then this is indeed too easy.

"In this potion, what is the treatment of the figs?" Jacqueline then asked.

Hermione frowned and thought for a while, she seemed a little less confident about her answer. "Should, um, be figs peeled, pitted, mashed..."

Hermione said that she subconsciously wanted to look at her textbook, but Jacqueline stopped her, "Be confident, Miss Granger, be confident. You have been very correct so far, so the next question. In In this potion, when was the fig added to the potion? What are the steps before and after?"

There was a moment of silence in the classroom, Snape watching them with interest in his own portrait.

"First, add ten grams of Hemandou juice, and stir it counterclockwise five times. After the potion turns light green, turn down the flame, and slowly...while stirring clockwise, add five grams of fig pulp. Cook on low heat After cooking for 10 minutes, remove the crucible from the flame, wait for the liquid in the crucible to cool slightly and become a little solidified, add four needle grasses, put it back on the flame, and cook for 3 minutes on high heat, while clockwise Stir." Hermione said very slowly, thinking.

Jacqueline applauded, she leaned forward and kissed Hermione, "Exactly, Miss Granger, this is your reward."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline and she also laughed, she looked far more excited than Jacqueline, "I'm really right? I'm still a little uncertain at the beginning, I'm not sure until the end Should I add the needle grass first or put the cauldron back first."

"I know." Jacqueline grinned and nodded, "I see, you read the textbook several times before adding the needle grass, and then you are sure."

Hermione's eyes widened, and then she curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Jacqueline tenderly, "So, did you choose figs on purpose because of this?"

Jacqueline hummed, she tilted her head and thought for a while, "If you think so, then I won't deny it."

The smile on Hermione's face grew wider. She leaned forward and kissed Jacqueline lightly. "Thank you, Professor Graham."

"You don't need to thank me so quickly." Jacqueline raised her index finger and shook it. "You have to trust your memory. If anyone can remember it with a photographic memory, I think that person is you."

"You mustn't say that." Hermione's face flushed slightly, "I'm just studying hard."

"I never said you were not." Jacqueline laughed before she could finish her sentence.Hermione glanced at her, shook her head dotingly, and looked at the herbs on her table.She thought for a moment, then looked up and smiled at Jacqueline.

"Then what's next? Professor Graham, what's the next part of this tutorial?"

Jacqueline feigned surprise. "Tutoring?" She looked at Hermione and blinked. "If all the first graders need tutoring, what should everyone else do? Miss Granger?"

"But, you are right." Hermione nodded slightly, "We are now students in the advanced class of Potions class, we should not just be satisfied with knowing the efficacy of a potion, or follow the steps given in the book To complete this potion. Although the scope of the NEWT test is only about this, and most of us in the future may not be like you, "

Hermione turned her face to the side and glanced at the portrait of Professor Snape on the wall, "Be a master of potions like Professor Snape, or make a living with potions. But since we choose to study this course , we should know more. We should understand the medicinal properties of each medicinal material, whether it needs high or low fire, the number of times of stirring, and how the direction will affect the final product."

"I want to learn these things, Jacqueline. Because," Hermione looked at Professor Snape, and then at Jacqueline, "it's a potion, your family's potion, so that you can stand by my side again , Jacqueline."

Jacqueline looked at Hermione affectionately, and then she spread her hands, "Then I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you, Miss Granger. Look,"

Jacqueline casually picked up two different medicinal materials from Hermione's table, "When two different medicinal materials are combined, their medicinal properties will change, but no one can understand what kind of change it is. To be clear, so many medicinal materials collide together, triggering countless possibilities, this is what attracts me the most about potions. It is precisely because of this that I am tempted by it to continue to explore."

"But as I said, I don't know whether the method I have mastered or the method I came up with will be the best, so we can only say that we are exploring together and learning from each other."

Hermione looked at Jacqueline, and suddenly she laughed, a little slyly, Jacqueline raised her eyebrows, she looked at Hermione, and asked softly, "What's wrong? I said something interesting something?"

Hermione shook her head. She took Jacqueline's hand and rubbed it lightly, "I just suddenly discovered that for me, you are the potion that allows me to explore my whole life. So familiar, yet Mysterious and beautiful. Every time you explore, you will surprise me."

Jacqueline bowed slightly, she took Hermione's hand, and then she kissed the back of Hermione's hand, "You are Miss Granger, too."

There was a sudden noise on the wall, and Jacqueline and Hermione looked over together, and Snape was striding out of his portrait.

Hermione and Jacqueline smiled at each other. "Can I start making my potion now, Professor Graham?" Hermione picked up Jacqueline's wrist and looked at the time on it. "We only have more than an hour until dinner."

"Okay, Miss Granger." Jacqueline withdrew her hand, "Then you can start, I will correct and correct your homework here, if there is anything that I can use, please don't hesitate .”

"This is my homework, Professor Graham." Hermione laughed loudly. "I don't want you to interfere. But if there is anything I don't understand, Professor. I will definitely ask you."

"Very good, very good." Jacqueline walked to the podium, and she pulled out Hermione's homework from the stack of parchment, "Let's see if you can pass your first homework."
