Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

“I don’t know what you were thinking of, making such foul-smelling water.

Still in the kitchen!

It's unimaginable that someone who can make potions into broth can actually make something so disgusting.

I still remember someone saying that cooking requires extreme skills, no less than brewing potions!

Haha, it seems that this is not the case!"

Douglas curled his lips, thinking that Snape must have arrived a long time ago!

He showed up so late on purpose, he must have wanted to see me get humiliated in front of the ghost!

At this moment, the Weasley twins didn't want to walk anymore. They slowed down their pace in an attempt to listen to more gossip.

Chapter 73 The Pain of Being a Colleague with Your Teacher

Hearing Snape mocking him like this,

Douglas felt that he was already an adult and a professor, so he was certainly more independent.

"Oh, Professor Snape, you don't understand the joys of fine dining.

Although the brine smells stinky, the stinky tofu made from it is very fragrant and tender...

By the way, I got an O in my Potions OLS."

When Professor Sprout heard that this stinky water was specially used to make a new delicacy, his eyes lit up.

Just when she was about to ask carefully.

Professor Snape was one step faster than him and said mockingly:

“Hehe, a person who treats Hoklapp as a mushroom…

Did the goblin in your head help you take the exam?!"

Oh my God, God knows how long Snape has been holding this in, and he finally said it today, how refreshing!

(A horkrup is a creature that looks like a fleshy pink mushroom covered in black bristles and is a favorite food of goblins. Horkrup juice is used to make herbicide.)

Professor Sprout, who was standing by, was hearing this kind of thing for the first time and couldn't help but slap his forehead, but this was very consistent with Douglas.

But Douglas was unhappy and said that it was a shame to expose people's shortcomings!

Snape, you're in trouble!

But what could he say, for world peace, for peace in the wizarding world, for peace in Hogwarts.

Douglas suppressed the urge to be rude.

He said faintly:

"I got an O on my Potions OLS exam!"

Snape laughed disdainfully:

“Some people can’t tell the difference between horseradish and radish!

I actually got an O on the test, what a joke!"

Douglas is angry!

This happened many years ago.

Wasn't it just when I got the horseradish that I asked curiously:

"Professor, what kind of radish is this?"

He had eaten horseradish sauce before, but he had never seen what horseradish looked like.

Douglas's mouth twitched. He suddenly didn't want to be colleagues with his former teacher anymore. He felt so tired.

In particular, Professor Sprout added:

"Severus, this isn't the first time the kid has mistaken a plant.

I almost picked the wolf celery in the greenhouse and ate it as an ordinary vegetable!

If something looks like food, he can't help but eat it!"

Douglas coughed quickly. Everyone makes stupid mistakes when they are young.

Besides, since then he has been very diligent in memorizing the introduction of all the plants in the magical world, for fear that he would eat the wrong one and send it away.

"Ahaha, two professors, aren't you here to find out what happened this time!"

Professor Sprout shrugged his shoulders.

"Oh, there's nothing to know, everyone knows about you and Peeves!

You do have to be careful though...

Those ghosts are actually quite pitiful!"

Snape snorted coldly, then said with a strange smile:

"I have sent a message to Dumbledore. When he comes back, you can explain it yourself!

I really hope he can fire you!

How can a man who can only cook stupid food in a crucible be a good professor?

After saying this, Snape turned and was about to leave.

Douglas said unconvincedly:

"I got an O on my Potions OLS exam!

I'm the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

Snape paused.

Then he said coldly to the Weasley twins who took three steps at a time:

"Is there a Swamp Hex in that corridor?

Or have your brains been eaten by goblins and you can't walk anymore?

Do you want me to throw you back to Gryffindor Tower?"

(Gnome expulsion method: People catch the gnome, spin it in a circle until it is dizzy, and then throw it over the garden wall to drive the gnome out of the garden.)

When the Weasley twins heard Snape's words, their legs seemed to be equipped with motors and they ran back to the Gryffindor common room as fast as they could.

Professor Sprout shrugged helplessly. They were all her students, what could she say?

"Douglas, even though Peeves destroyed your work, don't be discouraged and make a new one.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what delicious tofu you can make with this stinky water!"

Seeing Professor Sprout yawning and about to leave, Douglas asked curiously:

"Has something happened? Why is not only is the headmaster not in school, but Professor McGonagall seems to be away too?"

Professor Sprout shook his head:

“I don’t know either, the principal hasn’t been in school for over a week.

A letter came this afternoon calling Minerva and Filius away as well!

Don't worry, it probably has nothing to do with the school!

And this time he was fired,

It’s not your fault!

I'll talk to Albus about this when the time comes."

Douglas felt relieved, as he had thought something big had happened in the wizarding world.

What he was most worried about was that the diary would not be brought into the school but would be lost outside.

It is very likely that Voldemort's Horcrux will be resurrected early with the help of a dark wizard.

When he realized it, he was actually very regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have let Lucius throw the diary to Ginny and then take it away himself.

It wouldn’t be as troublesome as it is now, where we have to search like looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, if the matter Dumbledore was dealing with was related to Voldemort, then he would most likely choose to take Snape away.

Since Snape was able to stay in school, it means that the incident had nothing to do with Voldemort.

Just as he was lost in thought, Professor Sprout, who had already left, suddenly turned around and said:

"Douglas, don't make things so awkward between you and Severus!

As far as I know, he actually admires you very much. I have heard students talk about it many times before.

Severus often said in class, 'The guy who can only make broth in a cauldron can do it better than you!'

But ever since you came to school, he never mentioned it again.

Oh, there is another secret, which was told to me by the house elf in the kitchen.

Severus always goes to the kitchen to watch them prepare food during cooking time recently.

And he only looks at the ways of preparing dishes that you teach him...

You see, you guys should still have a lot to talk about…"

After saying that, Professor Sprout gave him an encouraging look and left.

Douglas's mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that Snape had noticed the contents at the back of the book he gave him.

That was a private item I customized specifically for him.

When he was in school, he discovered the biggest feature of the Hogwarts Potions class - luxury!

Yes, it is luxury!

Let those who have never handled any materials start practicing with those potion materials, some of which are precious materials.

Wow, Potions class is really rich.

Of course, he didn't reject this extravagant style when he was in school. After all, many ingredients in potions were edible.

As long as you can withstand Professor Snape's sharp tongue, even if the potion is not brewed well in this class, you can still harvest a lot of ingredients.

At the same time, he also discovered that the way many ingredients and medicinal materials were processed in the Potions class were similar to the preparation methods of traditional Eastern cooking.

Decoction, brewing, making paste, etc.

You also need to learn to control the civil and military fires, and slowly wait for the fragrance to waft out of the crucible. Of course, not all brewed potions taste good.

This is also why he often unknowingly boiled the potion into soup or something like that.

Compared with the failures of other students, his performance was already very good. After all, not everyone's potion could be eaten after failure.

Especially since Professor Snape often lets students drink potions they brew themselves, so being able to eat them is a big advantage.

This is getting off topic...

He included his own ideas in the book, hoping to guide Snape to make some reforms in the Potions class.

For example, use a large amount of food ingredients to replace some similar medicinal herbs, so that students can first practice how to process food ingredients...and medicinal herbs.

Or maybe let them learn how to make different soups? Practice controlling the fire.

In short, the advantage of doing this is that less medicinal materials will be wasted in Potions class.

The corresponding funding will be less.

If you use food ingredients as a substitute, the kitchen will be asked to help purchase more ingredients.

The kitchen's food procurement funds are arranged through Hufflepuff, so will Hufflepuff have more funds?

He still remembers when he graduated and was about to leave.

Professor Sprout quietly called the Hufflepuff graduates who were poor, Muggle-born, or orphaned wizards to his office.

Ask and be willing to provide them with a basic amount of money to survive in the magical world.

It was then that Douglas realized that the professor did this almost every year.

A large sum of money was distributed each time, almost half of her annual salary (Hufflepuff students are the largest among the four major colleges).
