MTL - The Big Boss Behind Hogwarts-Chapter 23 Mr. Slytherin and Slytherin House
Moriarty's outstanding performance in the Transfiguration class attracted everyone's attention, and the students of the four colleges were very much looking forward to Moriarty's performance in other classes.
In Potions class, Professor Snape strode into the classroom.
Unlike Professor McGonagall, who needs to remind students in class with stern point deductions, Professor Snape has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order with little effort.
Perhaps it has something to do with his fierce reputation, or it might have something to do with his cold complexion, black hair, and the hem of his long robe.
In this outfit he looks like a formidable giant bat.
As he walked to the podium, the little snakes and the little lions shrank their necks, waiting for the roll call.
When Moriarty's name was called, Professor Snape stopped, his dark eyes were cold and empty, just like his tone.
"The famous Mr. Moriarty," his voice was only slightly higher than a whisper: "I think you should know that the students of Slytherin House always pay a huge price to bear the name of Slytherin. ."
Moriarty was sure he saw Snape himself in the sentence.
"Of course, they have also achieved success." Professor Snape said slowly: "And you are different, think about it, how much effort and sweat do you need to put in to be worthy of the surname Slytherin?"
He is indeed a good professor, Moriarty thought.
Professor Snape raised his voice: "If it wasn't for your surname, I wouldn't have told you so much, understand Mr. Slytherin!"
"Understood, Professor," Moriarty replied loudly, "and I know exactly what I'm doing."
"Very well, let's see if Mr. Slytherin is a qualified Slytherin..." Professor Snape sat down in front of Moriarty, stared him in the eyes and said, "Listen, if I put What do you get when you add narcissus root powder to wormwood infusion?"
"You will get a potion of life and death." Moriarty said calmly.
Professor Snape said without a trace of emotion: "Name the most common ingredients needed to make a tumescent potion."
Moriarty glanced at the potions professor. Obviously, this was a second-year potions class.
But he still answered eloquently: "The most common are puffer fish eyes."
"Who is the inventor of the shrinking potion?"
Well, this time it's the third grade!
Moriarty smiled: "It's Sigismund Butch, Professor."
Next, Snape asked the fourth to sixth graders to learn some knowledge points, and Moriarty answered him fluently and clearly.
The question and answer between the two took no more than three minutes, but Snape stared at Moriarty for five full minutes after he answered all the questions!
No one knew what he was thinking, and Moriarty didn't feel that his brain had been invaded.
"Five points for Slytherin," Snape said suddenly, and he stood up and walked away, his voice echoing in the classroom: "The water of life and death is the first potion you will learn today! Don't make me say it a second time! "
Professor Snape began to explain the steps of brewing life and death water. The sound of "rustling" writing soon came from the classroom. Moriarty's mouth twitched, because life and death water was the content of today's study, so it was not included in the addition. Divide?
Sijiao is really an interesting person.
"Don't Mr. Moriarty take notes?" Lilith said in a low voice.
Moriarty shook his head: "The best way to remember is always practice."
With that said, he took out the raw materials, the crucible, and the balance needed to make the water of life and death.
Moriarty listened to Professor Snape's explanation and followed the steps to start cooking.
"Arrogant genius!" Snape suddenly let out a sneer, and then the speed of the explanation suddenly accelerated, as if he had a machine gun in his mouth, and the enemy was Moriarty.
The little snake and the little lions were suddenly miserable. Jericho simply stopped taking notes and watched Moriarty brew the potion.
Instead, it was Lilith, who kept shaking her wrist and wrote a series of beautiful handwriting with a feather pen.
"I've been used to copying laws and regulations since I was a child." Lilith shrugged and took a look at Moriarty's life and death water.
Thanks to Professor Snape's quick explanation, Moriarty's process of brewing the water of life and death was greatly shortened. When he ground the narcissus root into powder, he was only one step away from the completion.
Jericho let out an exaggerated cry: "Hey! Mr. Moriarty, maybe you don't need to come to the class at all. I believe that you can learn all the potions as long as you show you the configuration steps of potions!"
"Mr. Blanche, why didn't you write down what I said? Maybe you think you learned it? Three points from Slytherin!" Professor Snape came over.
At this time, Moriarty added the narcissus root powder to the wormwood infusion, and the water of life and death was successfully brewed. Professor Snape nodded in a rare way: "Mr. Minute."
"Thank you," Moriarty smiled, "Very unique bonus, Professor."
The little snakes also laughed, and it was rare for two Slytherins to appear at the same time.
Lilith refused to admit defeat and said, "Mine is almost finished. I don't believe it will be worse than yours."
Moriarty looked over, and the life and death water that Lilith brewed was as standard as in the textbook, but the brewing speed was slower than his.
After Professor Snape checked her potion, he also said, "Three points for Slytherin."
When Sijiao went to check on the progress of the little lions, Lilith curled her lips: "It's stingy, only three points."
Jericho, like he would never be sad, smiled when he was deducted: "It would be nice to get three points. You wouldn't want to compare yourself with Mr. Moriarty, would you?"
Lilith's eyes flashed, but she didn't speak, but Jericho seemed to have discovered a new world: "I really want to open your head to see what's inside, you actually want to compare who won the college with Moriarty. More points? Wow wow wow!
According to my statistics, Mr. Moriarty gave our college 60 points in two classes! And you're only three points, twenty times that's a big difference, isn't it Mr. Moriarty. "
"Don't irritate her," Moriarty joked to Jericho when he saw that Lilith's eyes seemed to have a murderous leap in his eyes: "If you do this again, maybe she will come up with a hundred ways not to violate the law. But it can transcend your method."
"Hmph," Lilith glared at Jericho and turned her head: "It's good for you to know!"
Having said that, Moriarty raised the corners of his mouth when he saw this arrogant little girl.
Jericho touched the short hair on his head and quickly turned his attention to the potion. Moriarty saw him skillfully picking up the ingredients, arranging them, and then starting to boil them.
The movement was quite Moriarty's style, Jericho smiled embarrassedly at Moriarty: "Your posture and movement are very cool, I want to imitate it when I see it..."
"Excellent memory and excellent imitation ability," Moriarty cast his exploratory eyes on the little American wizard: "Jerico, how many surprises have you prepared for us?"
Lilith turned her head back again, she said to Moriarty, "Look, Mr. Blanche is going to show his skills tomorrow in flight class, bet, Mr. Moriarty~www.novelbuddy.com~ Jericho raised his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Miss Lilith, why don't you become a reporter! The Daily Prophet? Or, the naysayer?
It is more suitable for you to sing the naysayer, after all, you can always grasp information that is not known to outsiders. "
"Who allowed you to call me by my name?" Lilith casually stirred the cauldron with a spoon, "Also, don't compare me to two garbage tabloids.
As for you think I'm gossiping? In fact, I didn't deliberately collect your information, but I analyzed it based on your performance after I mastered a lot of information. "
"Remember what I said on the train! Mr. Moriarty." Lilith's eyes became deep, and it was hard to believe that she was only eleven years old.
"I'm not a little girl who can only dream, in order to achieve my goals, I started to act from the moment I entered Hogwarts.
The little wizards in Hogwarts are the best subjects of investigation. I have no intention to inquire about their privacy, but I need to know their temperaments.
So the investigation reports came out like a potion, not only from Jericho, but also the first-year and second-year students of Hogwarts! "
Moriarty remembered that she often sat with Sister Gemma, and asked, "Have you started contacting third-graders?"
Lilith snorted: "Seniors in the third grade are different from those in the first and second grades. They are quite mature. Haven't you already felt this?"
Knowing what she meant, Moriarty smiled: "Do you care that you are not as mature as them, or do you care that you are not as mature as they are?"
Lilith rolled her eyes and stopped talking.
Jericho held his cheeks and flipped through the textbook boredly. He felt like an abandoned tool man.
