It’s just that his current condition looks a little bad, his steps are unsteady, and he keeps retching.
Besides, before today, Kyle had never thought that a person's face could be blue.
Even the most avant-garde and fashionable portraits in the castle did not dare to paint their faces in such bold colors.
But Mikel did it.
His entire head, including his forehead, nose, lips, was blue, even his hair and teeth were no exception.
From a distance it looks like a large blue dandelion.
"Kyle..."
Mikkel stretched out his hand, his voice very dry: "What are you laughing at? Help me up."
"Nothing, I just thought of something happy." Kyle stepped forward to support Mikel, and at the same time turned his head away, trying not to look at his face:
"I gave Hufflepuff twenty extra points yesterday."
"That's indeed worth being happy about." Mikel nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
He really didn't want to talk now. He didn't know what the nurse in the school hospital had just poured into his mouth. Not only did it taste terrible, but his throat was also burning and painful. He felt very uncomfortable when he opened his mouth.
The two of them walked slowly towards the basement classroom.
It is worth mentioning that when they just walked into the pendulum clock courtyard, Mikel's blue head gradually returned to normal.
Although it didn't return to its previous appearance, it was at least not as eye-catching. Moreover, the light in the castle was generally dim, so you wouldn't be able to see anything if you didn't look carefully.
Apparently, Madam Pomfrey had no intention of embarrassing him in public.
The two walked all the way through the castle, but because Mikel walked too slowly, when they arrived at the classroom downstairs, they were late as expected.
Snape had just finished counting the roster when he looked up and saw two people standing at the door.
"They're late for the first class. Are all the freshmen this year so bad?" Snape said in a long tone, "Ten points will be deducted from Hufflepuff."
Mikkel looked at Snape, his eyes suddenly widened, and he blurted out: "Huh? You are the one...hiss~~"
Fortunately, Kyle reacted quickly and stepped on him decisively, which prevented Mikel from finishing his words.
Otherwise... they might not be able to get out of this Potions classroom.
Taking this opportunity, Kyle quickly said, "Sorry, Professor Snape, we won't do that next time."
"Humph, if it happens a second time, it won't be as simple as deducting ten points." Snape glanced at them coldly: "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Go back to your seats quickly. Hufflepuff will be deducted another five points!"
Afraid that Mikel would say something reckless again, Kyle quickly pulled him to sit at an empty table at the back of the classroom.
Snape retracted his gaze and said in a sinister voice: "Potions are a profound and important subject. I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of the simmering cauldron with white smoke and bursts of fragrance.
I don't expect you to understand the magical transformation of ordinary ingredients into something sublime when cooked over a high heat.
Snape's voice gradually became calm: "I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew honor, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the kind of fools I often encounter."
Snape's words immediately silenced the whole class. The little Slytherin snakes raised their heads proudly and sat upright, as if this could prove that they were not fools.
In comparison, the little badgers of Hufflepuff felt much more guilty. They looked at each other, and no one dared to look Snape in the eye.
Especially Mikel, after he came to his senses, he almost buried his head under the table.
However, even so, it is useless, what is coming will come.
"Drake!" Snape suddenly said, "When making boil potion, should I put in slugs or porcupine quills first?"
What potion? Mikel looked up blankly and said carefully, "Put the porcupine quills first, professor."
"Tsk, put the porcupine quills first..." Snape said sarcastically, "If you had flipped through the book before school started, even if you only glanced at it, you would have known that you need to put snake tooth powder first to make boil potion! You dare to be late with such poor basics? Deduct one point from Hufflepuff."
“Why don’t you write this down!”
There was a sudden rustling sound of quills and parchment being fumbled with in the classroom.
"Open the book to the first page!" Snape returned to the podium and said in a deep voice: "Today we will learn how to make a simple potion to treat boils.
Although this potion is so simple that you can make it as long as your IQ is higher than that of the troll, I still want to remind you to be careful when operating it... if you don't want to get boils all over your body. "
"The ingredients for brewing the potion are in the storage cupboard. Now, put them in groups of two... Oh, right!"
At this moment, Snape seemed to suddenly think of something and came to Mikel again.
He glanced down at the table and scoffed, "Although there is no need to wave your wand foolishly here, given your current poor condition and for the safety of other young wizards, I think it is unnecessary."
Snape took the cauldron from the table, inspected it, and said to Kyle, "Go and be in a group with Connor. Don't disturb Drake from reading here."
In the crowd, Kanna looked up in confusion and looked at Kyle in disbelief as he was getting closer and closer to her.
It was so annoying. She was already on time and the last one to enter the classroom, but she still couldn't dodge it? Besides, the other little wizards had also formed their teams by then, so there was no room for her to dodge even if she wanted to.
How about switching seats with someone else? Connor found her roommate who was sitting behind her and was about to ask her to switch seats with her when Snape's voice came from the podium again.
"What are you still standing there for? Are you waiting for me to make some potion for you?!"
Amid Snape's roar, the classroom suddenly became busy.
Watching her roommate set up the crucible and then run towards the storage cabinet, Kanna could only sigh quietly and turned around to grind the snake fangs on the table.
For some reason, when Snape walked nearby, he casually placed a bag on her desk.
What was inside was exactly the materials needed to make boil potion, and there were three full portions of each, so Kanna didn't need to go to the storage cabinet like everyone else.
