Chapter 20: Chapter-19 Drowner In Harry Potter
After making up his mind to be a good student, kaizo actively interacted with the teacher in every class he attended. As analyzed before, all Dumbledore cares about is his broken prophecy.
As long as he doesn't have too much interaction with "Harry Potter.and his annual adventure", he basically won't fall into Dumbledore's eyes. Kaizo naturally does not have to keep a low profile in academics. With Kaizo's activeness, Ravenclaw naturally scored many points.
All the professors like this Muggle born genius except for a few exceptions. His only threatening competitor was Hermione Granger.
This know it all girl seemed to regard kaizo as her biggest competitor since meeting him in library, and wanted to compete with him no matter what.
It wasn't until the History of Magic class that Kaizo's rule of getting extra points came to an end. It's not that he can't memorize "History of Magic", he won't have any such problem with his magic database.
Prof.Cuthbert Binns, who teaches History of Magic, is too confusing.
The problem of this ghost professor is autism. As soon as the class time started, Prof.Binns walked through the wall on time. He didn't even start the name call, and just started reading the text in a monotonous voice.
He only read the text the entire class time. From beginning to end, there was no interaction, no questions, and naturally no extra points. This makes History of Magic, the most boring class in Hogwarts.
If kaizo could have met such a professor in his previous life in college, then he would have laughed to death.
If the teacher doesn't care about anything, then the class will be attended solely on his mood. But now when he is a good student, then the situation has turned embarrassing. Another class standing in his way of earning points is Potions.
The Potions classroom is in the basement, it is said that the coldness of the basement is conductive to the storage of materials. But he and the other students suspected that this was purely due to Snape's personal preference.
The first time he set foot here, kaizo felt uncomfortable. Even the powerful magic inside Hogwarts cannot dispel such darkness and coldness. Together with the glass jars that take up most of the wall and are filled with various offal,
It feels like visiting the herbarium of a medical school.
Even Slytherins have to hide away when they come to attend the classes of their house head. When paired with Snape's greasy hair and gloomy old face, the cooling effect is doubled.
The first years fully felt this coldness in their first Potions class. When Snape slid silently into the classroom like a giant bat, the temperature in the room seem to drop a few degrees.
Like Prof.Flitwick he picked up the attendance register as soon as class started, and like Flitwick, he paused when Harry's name was called.
"Oh yes".
He whispered,
"Our new Celebrity"
He opened his mouth slightly, and his voice was full of disdain:" You are here to learn the subtle art of making potions..."
"There will be no silly wand waving here, I don't expect you to truly understand the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance,..."
"You won't truly understand the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, the kind that makes people's heart wander and their wills blur. I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death- but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the bumble head fools I often encounter."
Next is Snape's question session. Like Prof.McGonagall, he likes to give new students a hard time by randomly selecting an unlucky student to make things difficult for them.
..... It's actually not random. It mainly depends on who Snape is unhappy with.
Originally kaizo thought that Snape would target Harry as in the novel, and was prepared to see the joke.
Unexpected, in the blink of an eye, he realized that Snape was looking at him with evil eyes. He sat up in shock, when he realized that he was the unlucky one?
This is also normal. It can be seen from many Snape's attitude towards Hermione in the original Novel. He really doesn't like students who are flamboyant and like to be in the limelight.
Maybe it's due to his hatred towards James potter and his friends?
In short kaizo was targeted by Snape because of his previous outstanding performance. In addition, kaizo speculated that this was also related to his friendship with Harry.
Kaizo was the only Ravenclaw first year who had a good relationship with Harry.
"Grindel! Stand up!"
"What will I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?" Snape suddenly asked and tried to look at Kaizo's eyes. But this head sucking will be of no use, since kaizo didn't meet Snape's eyes.
Kaizo didn't show any discomfort, when he was suddenly told to answer. Not to mention that the Potions textbook has already been uploaded in his database. Just based on his previous life memory, he knew exactly what kind of Ax Snape would wield.
"A sleeping potion so powerful, that is known as Draught of Living Death."
"If I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar?"
"In the stomach of a goat."
"What is the difference between monshood and wolfsbane?"
"There is no difference, they both are also known as Aconite."
Snape came up with a right kick, a left kick, and a left jab. In the end, kaizo was on guard against everything. But snape, the bastard didn't give up. The one click triple combo from the original novel didn't work, so he immediately increased the difficulty.
"Bezoar are the feces of what animal?"
"Bezoar are not feces but stones taken from the stomach of a goat."
"Which potion is distinctive because of its 'mother of pearl sheen'?"
"Amortentia"
...
After six or seven questions in a row, no matter how hard Snape tried to make things difficult, kaizo could give the right answers without thinking. This series of quick questions and answers made the other students look and feel stupid.
Until Snape asked:"What does drowner brain do?"
Drowner brain? Is there such a material in Harry Potter's world? Upon hearing this question, kaizo was instantly confused, Isn't this a specialty in the Witcher world? Why would Snape ask this question? Has he also traveled through worlds?
No, I have to think carefully. Since Cirilla is also in this world, it means that all this is not a coincidence. Unknown changes have taken place in this world.
Considering that the main canon plot has not changed much, the impact of this change should not be big for the time being…. I will have to study it carefully, when I have time.
At that moment, Kaizo's inner thoughts were racing wildly. It really surprised kaizo that Snape could raise this 'extra category' question. But it's not like he has never played "The Witcher 3" in his previous life.
"Drowner brain can be used to make healing potions." Kaizo thought for a while and added in a low voice:"It also has a strong aphrodisiac effect on men."
After listening to Kaizo's answer, the old bat fell into a brief silence. He really didn't expect that this Ravenclaw 'top student' would actually be so outstanding.
You know, the drowner brain is a new monster that had only appeared in the last ten years. And drowner brain is a new potion material that was only discovered in the past five years.
Most of the research results on drowner brain are limited to the circle of pharmacists and cutting edge papers. This first year knows even this, which can indeed be considered knowledgeable.
Especially the aphrodisiac effect of drowner brain, which was a new discovery only made last year. It originated from an accident that occured after a male pharmacist accidentally took raw drowner brain extract.
___ At that time, he only had his fellow pet, his dog by his side.
Snape looked at kaizo deeply, and then shouted to the other students:"What are you waiting for? Why don't you write down this knowledge?"
Kaizo smiled slightly and watched Snape's rage. But soon he stopped laughing. Because after failing to make things difficult for him, Snape was so shameless that he started explaining the content of the first lesson directly.
He didn't give Ravenclaw any points.
It is really shameless to be partial to such extent. But finally, through this scene, kaizo managed to show off in front of the students of the same grade.
