But this scene fully demonstrated Snape's strength. Casting spells without a wand and silently, are things that ordinary Aurors cannot do.
Snape stood on the podium, scanned the entire classroom, and said, "Why are you looking at me? Look at your desks!"
With this angry shout, all the students in the classroom lowered their heads, even the Slytherin students were no exception.
"There is a stone on the corner of each of your tables. The first question is, what is this stone?"
As soon as Snape finished speaking, Wentworth noticed that Cassandra, who was not far away from him, raised her hand.
Snape slowly walked to Cassandra. While Wentworth was still carefully examining the stone in front of him, Snape suddenly turned around and said to Wentworth: "Wentworth, answer me, what is this stone?"
Wentworth smiled bitterly and slandered in his heart: Snape, your revenge is so undisguised. It's a pity that I don't have a pair of eyes that you like.
But Wentworth still stood up slowly and answered: "Professor Snape, this is a bezoar."
Snape continued:
"What is this stone good for?"
“The fecal stones are taken from the sheep’s stomachs and are very effective in detoxifying!”
After hearing Wentworth's answer, Snape said without comment:
"Sit down!"
After Wentworth sat down, Snape walked to the podium and said, "The fecal stones in front of you are prepared for you in advance. If anyone gets desperate and smears those poisonous things on himself and then regrets it, you can use it to detoxify. Don't worry, I have plenty of these fecal stones. You can use them as much as you want to experiment on yourself!"
Then, Snape walked back to the podium, knocked on the table, and said loudly: "Why are you all looking down? Look up at me!"
Then, all the students in the classroom raised their heads again.
Snape took out a tube of potion and said, "This is the water of life and death. Who knows what it does?"
As soon as Snape finished speaking, Cassandra, who was not far from Wentworth, raised her hand again, but Wentworth noticed that Snape just glanced at Cassandra and then turned his eyes back to himself.
"Wentworth, tell me what the water of life and death does!"
As Wentworth expected, Snape called his name.
Fortunately, after Cedric's intensive rehearsal last night, Water of Life and Death is a compulsory subject for first-year students. Wentworth stood up and answered:
"The Water of Life and Death is a powerful sleeping potion, Professor Snape."
"It seems that you are not so stupid."
Snape said expressionlessly, then waved Wentworth to sit down.
After Wentworth sat down, he felt a burning gaze. He followed the gaze and saw Cassandra looking at him viciously, as if she was resenting him for stealing her limelight.
Wentworth could only helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he didn't want to either! But in Cassandra's opinion, Wentworth's gesture of curling his lips and spreading his hands was an unspeakable provocation! "You two, are you flirting with each other in class?!"
Suddenly, Snape's voice sounded in the ears of both of them at the same time. They turned around and found that Snape had been standing next to them without them knowing when.
As expected, Snape said bluntly: "Hufflepuff, Slytherin, deduct five points each!"
Wentworth knew that Snape must be extremely angry at this moment because he could make Snape deduct points from Slytherin!
Snape took out the water of life and death and asked, "Who can tell me what are the two most important ingredients in the formula of the water of life and death?"
Wentworth lowered his head and noticed out of the corner of his eye that Cassandra seemed to want to raise her hand again, but hesitated for a moment, as if because she had just been criticized, Cassandra raised her hand halfway and then put it down again.
"Cassandra, you answer!"
But unexpectedly, Snape took the initiative to call Cassandra's name this time.
Hearing her name, Cassandra was stunned at first, then she immediately stood up and said:
"It's powdered sunflower root and wormwood infusion, Professor Snape!"
Hearing Cassandra's answer, Snape nodded, waved his hand for Cassandra to sit down, and then said: "Perfect answer, Slytherin plus ten!"
This time, Wentworth was completely speechless, and he finally understood the feelings of Harry Potter in the original book. Even though Wentworth knew that Snape was not a bad person, and he had even been deeply moved by Snape's story, he could not help but feel dissatisfied with him in his heart.
But no matter how unhappy Wentworth was, he could only sit in his seat obediently and listen to Snape standing on the podium and explaining to everyone how to make the water of life and death.
Suddenly, Wentworth noticed that there seemed to be a pile of old books not far from the Potions class podium. Wentworth, who was very familiar with the original work, suddenly thought of a plot in the original work and couldn't help but feel moved.
So, when the get out of class was about to end, Wentworth seized the opportunity and quietly tore off a few pages of his textbook.
Although the Water of Life and Death has a strong effect, it is not difficult to make, so it has become an introductory course in the Potions class. But even so, at the end of this class, many freshmen still failed to complete it.
But fortunately, after Cedric's intensive training last night, Wentworth successfully made the water of life and death. Seeing that Wentworth had succeeded, Snape, who had been wandering around the Hufflepuff seat, walked back to the podium and sat down, never getting up again.
Finally, under Snape's sarcasm, the Hufflepuff freshmen ended the first Potions class of their lives with sad faces.
Just as everyone was leaving the classroom one after another, Wentworth walked up to Snape holding a textbook.
"Why, are you eager to start the training I prepared for you?"
Snape saw Wentworth coming over on his own initiative, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he spoke casually.
"Professor Snape, the textbook I bought is missing a few pages for some reason, so I wanted to ask if you have any old textbooks."
After hearing Wentworth's answer, Snape flipped through Wentworth's textbook and said sarcastically:
"Even trolls know to check their weapons before going out! Go over there and pick one up for yourself!"
Snape said, pointing to a pile of old books not far away.
