Chapter 19 At Hogwarts
Life in Hogwarts began like this.
For Matthew Wakefield, the days have been very fulfilling, as if he has returned to his previous middle school years.
From Slytherin's communal lounge, to the auditorium, to the classroom, to the library... a stable life at four points and one line.
This time he also let him throw away the bad things before.
...
Although many of the teachers at Hogwarts are a bit weird, they are almost all good people (at least the few people Matthew has already met are all).
If there is the only exception, it is Apollion Pringer, the administrator of Hogwarts Castle.
Pringer was a man with a fat man with a bad temper and liked to physically punish those students who made mistakes. Rumors were rumored to be hanging on the ceiling of his office, chains, handcuffs and whips that were polished by him. All the students hated him very much.
In addition, Pringer has a dog named Mr. Tang... When Matthew heard this first time, he almost laughed out loud because it was obviously the name of a duck.
This sturdy golden retriever, like a proud duck, patrolled the walkway of Hogwarts Castle every day. Once he found that a student had violated the rules, he would stop them from leaving until his master arrived.
It is very familiar with the terrain of Hogwarts, and no student knows the secret passages of Hogwarts better than it.
But as long as you stay away from Pringer and Mr. Tang, the rest of the memories are pretty good.
The professor of the History of Magic is a witch named Bashida Basharat, who is also the author of the textbook "History of Magic".
The witch is very old and is said to be almost two hundred years old, so she is too lazy to attend the branch ceremony and the school banquet. Even after class, two house elves needed to support her before she could move.
However, her memory is still clear and she can easily read any past history; the content of the lectures is also vivid and interesting, and boring historical events are described by her as interesting stories... Therefore, the magic history course is quite popular with everyone.
The one who taught the spell was the surprisingly short witch Professor Frieve. During class, he had to stand on a stack of books, so that he could reach the lectern.
Professor Flivie is a very good-tempered professor, and the curse class is also very relaxed and enjoyable.
However, legend has it that this now relaxed and easy-going curse professor was also a irritable man when he was young. He has participated in many duel competitions and won many championships. Before coming to Hogwarts, he was also a well-known figure in the wizarding world.
Three times a week, they were taken by Professor Sprout to the greenhouse behind the castle to study herbology, learn how to cultivate strange plants and fungi and understand their uses.
In the first class of herbal medicine class, they learned to identify whether mushrooms are toxic.
The mushrooms that were not poisonous selected by the students were taken to the kitchen by Professor Sprout after class and became the mushroom soup that night.
And every Tuesday night, they all have to go to the Astronomical Tower.
Under the guidance of Professor Sinista, we use a telescope to observe the starry sky and learn the names of different stars and the trajectories of planets.
This course does not require any magic, and Professor Sinista is the most stringent professor at present.
Her after-school assignments are also assigned a lot, a paper about the orbits of eight planets, at least two and a half feet long.
...
There were two potions classes on Wednesday afternoon, and it was the only class Slytherin would take with Gryffindor.
Potion class is taught in an underground classroom.
In theory, it is a bit colder here than in the main building of the castle (like the Slytherin's common room), but the few large crucibles in the classroom were making it warm.
Twenty Slytherin and Gryffindor students entered one after another and sat in the classroom.
While entering the Potions Classroom, Matthew glanced at the bubble-like crucibles; while looking at the animal, plant and lesion specimens soaked in glass jars along the wall.
But when he sat down, he seemed a little lonely around him.
Five Slytherin boys in a dormitory, Crabb and Goll are both loyal followers of Malfoy, and Norte has a good relationship with them; but Matthew has become a little unsociable; faintly, he is quietly "isolated" by the other people.
Matthew didn't know what the reason was, and he didn't care much about it either.
He took out two textbooks, "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" and "Magic Potions and Potions", as well as tools such as crucibles, brass balances, crystal bottles, and put them all on the desk.
Professor Horace Slughorn had just stepped in before his big belly. His walrus beard was shaking on his smiling mouth, and he greeted his students.
This was also the first time Matthew met the dean of Slytherin College in class.
Like Professor Troca, he also took out the roster and started to name the name.
However, when Neville Lombard of Gryffindor and Draco Malfoy of Slytherin were named, he paused for a moment and smiled enthusiastically at the two boys.
Matthew suddenly heard Farley's comment on Slughorn-
"He only prefers students with prominent family backgrounds or outstanding talents."
It seems that Neville and Malfoy both belong to the former?
The underground classroom was filled with steam and was filled with all kinds of weird smells
Professor Slughorn stood among the many hot steam, his big figure seemed to be fluttering: "Dear students, please take out the balance, the medicine bag, and of course, don't forget to take out your textbook "Magic Potions and Potions"..."
A sparse sound of picking things up.
"However, before class..." Professor Slughorn suddenly said mysteriously: "I have prepared several potions to open your eyes... Before you really start making potions, let you feel the wonderful and magical power in advance!"
