"Harry... Potter - the Boy Who Lived, a famous figure." Snape stopped in front of Harry's desk and stared at him.

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle, who were sitting next to him, covered their mouths and chuckled with a wink. However, Snape did not immediately attack, but continued to name names. After calling the names, he scanned the whole class with his cold, empty black eyes, forcing everyone to focus on him.

The classroom was in order, and then he began his pre-class speech.

"You're here to learn the precise science and craft of potion-making. Since there is no stupid waving of a wand here, many of you will not believe in the magic of potions. I don't expect you to really grasp the beauty of the smoky and fragrant cauldron that simmers, and you don't really understand the magic of the liquid that flows into people's veins, the magic of the mind, and the will that is blurring. I can teach you how to increase your prestige, brew glory, and even stop death—but one thing has to be, and that is that you should not be fools, and fools I often encounter. "

This is a master who knows magic potions. Rhys wholeheartedly approved of what Snape said.

Potions is a delicate, precise, and exquisite subject. It is impossible for someone who is distracted and careless to learn this subject well.

Potions science is quite similar to Muggle chemistry. In fact, in the Middle Ages, the three disciplines of potions, chemistry, and alchemy were almost indistinguishable. They are all disciplines that mix a variety of processed materials through a series of processes to obtain a final product with specific properties.

After Snape finished his short opening remarks, the whole class fell silent.

"Potter!" Snape said suddenly, "Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

"I don't know, Professor," Harry said.

Snape pursed his lips disdainfully.

"Tsk, tsk – it seems that fame doesn't mean everything. "

No one else raised their hands.

"Let's try again. Potter, if I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"Snape asked another question, but Harry had no idea what a bezoar was.

"I don't know, sir. "

"Potter, what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?"

"...I don't know," Harry whispered and then looked at Draco's mocking face, "but I suppose Draco knows and that's why he is laughing"

"Enough Potter! For your information, asphodel, and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. A bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat that has a strong detoxifying effect and will save you from most poisons. As for monkshood and wolfsbane, they are the same plant, which also goes by the name of aconite."

"Well? Why aren't you all copying that down?".

Snape's anger had a tendency to spread to all the students in the classroom.

The freshmen quickly took out pen and paper and wrote down these three questions and answers.

Rhys couldn't help but yawn: Snape taught the class well, but it was bad that he forced students to take notes. Having to copy down something that has already been written down in my mind is like a punishment to myself.

Everyone was immersed in taking notes, but Rhys remained motionless and even yawned. Such arrogant behavior was intolerable even if Snape had a high tolerance for students in his own house.

Snape's eyes locked on Rhys's for a moment.

"Ah, Mr. Lint! Are you sleepy? Or is this terrible question and answer boring to you? Where are your parchments and quills?" Snape's anger aroused by Potter's incomprehensible questions was transferred to Rhys, and he asked him rudely.

A series of questions.

Seeing that Rhys was being targeted by Snape, Malfoy raised his head suddenly, his eyes bursting with dazzling light: Dare you provoke Professor Snape? Rhys, you're screwed!

He put down the quill in his hand and watched the drama in the classroom with great interest.

At this time, Rhys should have taken out the parchment and taken notes obediently to calm the matter. However, he was not such a person. He directly stated that what was recorded in his notebook should be valuable, not " bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat", monkshood and wolfsbane are both the same kind of plant" and such nonsense.

Snape: !?

Other students: ! ! !

So brave! So brave! How dare he? After hearing monkshood and wolfsbane's reply, the little wizards suddenly had this panicking thought in their minds.

Snape narrowed his eyes.

He was now beginning to wonder if he had been too gentle with the little wizards of Slytherin House before so that a new student dared to answer his question with such rebellious remarks.

"Very good, very good," Snape's tone became extremely calm, "Since Mr. Lint is pursuing valuable knowledge, then I will provide you with valuable enough knowledge in the form of questions."

There were no mood swings in his tone, but people who knew him well like Malfoy knew very well that Snape in this state was extremely dangerous, and it was just the calm before the storm.

All the other students present lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that they would accidentally be spotted by Professor Snape.

"I just said that Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of Living Death. Taking a small amount of Draught of Living Death potion can play a sleeping and analgesic role, but taking too much of Draught of Living Death potion will cause the user to become drowsy. This symptom will not disappear with the passage of time. Now I ask you, how to rescue patients who overdose on the Draught of Living Death potion?"

Rhys put himself in his shoes and thought about how he would respond if he encountered this situation, and then he had the answer.

"Feed Erosion Fruit to remove the dark effect. The essence of the water of Draught of Living Death is a poison that reduces brain activity. After taking it, people will fall into a state of poisoning. The Erosion Fruit can be used to detoxify."

Snape frowned upon hearing Rhys's answer.

The correct way to deal with it is to give the patient an emetic and a stimulant. The former expels the unabsorbed water of the potion from the body, and the latter forces the patient's brain to become active, thus breaking the dormant state. But Rhys's answer cannot be said to be wrong, because removing dark effect can indeed cure this disease.

The only disadvantage of this plan is that the Erosion Fruit is very rare and difficult to find. Even the mainstream view in the wizarding world believes that the Erosion Fruit is extinct, and even Snape himself does not have a collection of it in his storage room.

"Okay." Snape nodded, considering Rhys passed the test.

He asked another question: "Let's try again, Lint. If you see a person's skin turning blue for unknown reasons, his hands and feet twitching uncontrollably, and foaming at the mouth, what should you do?"

After Rhys said the term "dispelling dark effects", Snape gave up the idea of ​​​​making things difficult for Rhys.

The second question he asked seemed to him to be a scoring question, and the answer was very simple. It was the bezoar he just mentioned, which has a strong detoxifying effect.

As long as your brain is a little more flexible, you can answer correctly.

"Take the Erosion Fruit!" Rhys was also very surprised. Is there any difference between these two questions? It's all about detoxification, so why not eliminate bad effects?

Snape: "…"

That's the extinct Erosion Fruit! Not a common apple we are talking about!

Why do you think modern pharmacists don't use the all-purpose antidote, which is the Erosion Fruit? Don't you want to study seriously?
