Chapter 238: Snape Digs a Hole
Professor Sprout only took a glance at the two pieces of parchment filled with herbs written on Rolf's face, and knew there were many tricks.
There were so many herbs that he could open a pharmacy in Diagon Alley, and many of them were not used in this Triwizard Tournament.
For example, Piper's Herb was a material specially used to prepare the Felix Felicis; and there were also Two-eared Herb and Fluid Herb, which were used to make Polyjuice Potion...
Will these potions be used in the Triwizard Tournament?
But Sprout still gave Rolf all the herbs neatly and even gave him some extra.
The reason why she did this was also very simple.
Most of the magical plants grown in the greenhouse were taken away by Professor Snape after they were harvested.
Snape's reason was also very sufficient. He needed herbs to teach students potions and to make potions for the school hospital.
But Professor McGonagall helped Snape to carefully calculate the small accounts. Students and the school hospital did not need so many herbs at all. Where did all the extra things go?
Of course, it went into Professor Snape's personal storage room!
So, instead of giving it to Snape, Sprout thought it would be better to give it to Rolf, after all, he was a student of his own college... It's better to keep it within the family!
Besides, isn't this also a response to Dumbledore's suggestion to help the Hogwarts warriors cheat and gain an advantage in the Triwizard Tournament?
In fact, it's not just Professors Grubbly-Plank and Sprout who secretly helped the warriors.
In the Charms class, Professor Flitwick specifically taught several water magics.
General magic is applicable to air environments, and if it is underwater, the effect will be greatly weakened.
The spiral water arrow spell taught by Professor Flitwick can use river water to enhance the power of the spell.
In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall also demonstrated the human body Transfiguration, which is only learned in the sixth grade.
She didn't expect these fourth-grade wizards to learn it. She mainly wanted to teach the warriors that even if they just conjured up fish gills, they could breathe underwater.
Even Professor Bubbage of Muggle Studies was developing a bottom mine with the little wizards in class.
According to her, this type of mine blew up the USS Princeton, a US$1 billion Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser, in the Gulf War a few years ago... the effect was great.
While the teachers were helping the warriors, Hagrid still did not show up.
He did not come to the auditorium for meals again, nor did he appear in the hunting grounds to perform his duties as a guard.
Hagrid completely disappeared from Hogwarts!
For a time, rumors spread. Some people said that Hagrid was dismissed from the school and even lost his position as a gamekeeper; some students said that he was imprisoned in Azkaban.
Malfoy was the most proud, wandering around the campus all day long with a high attitude, as if he had driven Hagrid away.
In fact, Malfoy did accept Rita's interview and said a lot of bad things about Hagrid.
Harry and Ron were ready to retaliate against him.
In addition to Hagrid, Snape was also seriously affected by Rita Skeeter's article.
In the potion class on Friday, Snape dragged his black robe and explained the endurance potion in the classroom.
A gray owl suddenly flew in from the door, followed by four barn owls, a brown owl and a gray forest owl.
They all rushed forward, wanting to be the first to deliver the letter to Snape.
Snape took the letter from the gray owl, read it, his face became gloomy, and then waved his wand to burn the letter.
He opened another letter and threw it out immediately.
The letter fell to the ground, spraying a yellow-green liquid with a pungent smell of gasoline.
Everyone recognized that it was the pus of the undiluted barbo tuber, which would cause serious damage to the skin if touched directly.
Seeing this, the students all stepped back.
More and more owls flew in, and hundreds of letters were thrown at Snape like bullets.
Snape waved his wand in a rage and drove the owl out.
Rolf quietly picked up a letter, and after he opened it, he found a dead mouse in the envelope.
"Snape, you are a morally corrupt teacher, like a mouse in the sewer.
Weasley is the true love of my brother Harry Potter, don't interfere with their relationship anymore!"
He picked up another letter, opened it, and saw that it said:
"Snape, I read in the newspaper that you are seducing Harry Potter's girlfriend. That boy has suffered so much, and you are still so despicable.
I have someone in the Ministry of Magic, and I have already investigated the location of your home. You better be careful, or I will drive a Muggle truck to hit you to death!"
Rolf and Shirley looked at each other.
I didn't expect that the star chasing in the magic world is so extreme... It's too scary!
Snape finally drove the owl out, and his black eyes swept across the faces of students.
The young wizards were trembling, not daring to look up and look him in the face, fearing that they would be implicated.
Just when everyone thought Snape was about to explode, he calmed down and suddenly asked:
"Scamander, if I want to stay underwater for a long time, what can I do?"
Rolf was stunned for a moment, stood up, and slowly replied:
"You can use the Bubblehead Charm, Gillyweed, or take the Air Repellent Potion."
"The Bubblehead Charm can be easily pierced by weapons." Snape snorted contemptuously:
"Gillweed comes from the Mediterranean and is difficult to buy in the UK. As for the gas repellent potion... it takes more than five months to brew, and the steps are complicated and impractical."
Snape refuted all of Rove's suggestions and finally sneered:
"I won't teach you the endurance potion in this class. I will teach you how to brew a simple scuba potion. After taking it, you can breathe in the water for a long time."
Rolf looked stunned. He thought Snape would immediately cause trouble for Harry and Ron. Why did he start teaching how to get through the second project?
But the young man immediately became confused again:
He remembered taking the scuba potion and could only stay underwater for forty minutes at most, which was not a long time.
For the second event of the Triwizard Tournament, the time for the drug to take effect may not be enough.
Could it be that Snape improved the scuba potion and greatly extended the diving time?
Just when Rolf was confused, Snape waved his wand, and the ingredients and cooking methods appeared on the blackboard.
Luo Fe stared at the blackboard and saw that the ingredients such as hell wart, flaming powder and puffer fish were exactly the same as the ingredients in his memory, and the cooking steps had not changed much.
The young man raised his hand to ask, but Snape glared at him, with a strong threat in his eyes, and said viciously:
"What, Scamander... do you have any opinion on the potions I teach?"
Luofu shook his head quickly and sat back on the stool. He looked at the potion on the blackboard and said secretly:
Snape was indeed digging a hole... so cruel!
