Chapter 43: Against
Coven was stunned. He lowered his head and looked at the potion he had brewed. No matter the color or taste, it was no different from the finished potion described in the book.
'Then what did Professor Snape mean by this?'
"Professor." Coven said in a measured tone, "Can you give me some pointers on my mistakes?"
"The potion barely meets the requirements. You won't die from eating it." Professor Snape's eyes slowly turned. After his gaze left the crucible, he stared at Coven and said, "Do you have a problem with my Potion class?"
"This..." Coven was stunned again. Where did this come from?
"You are very famous these two days." Professor Snape slowly said in his very unique tone, "But tell me, why did you perform very well in other classes, but you just passed in mine?"
A burst of laughter sounded from the direction of Slytherin's group of students.
Hearing this, Snape turned around like lightning and looked sternly at the source of the laughter.
When he turned around, the disobedient children from Slytherin were instantly silenced. Even Coven, who was beside him, was shocked because Snape turned too abruptly and too quickly.
At this time, Snape saw that the laughter had stopped. He continued to look at all the Slytherin students with a warning look. Then he turned back and stared at Coven. He said, "Then answer me, why is it like this?"
"This...." Coven hesitated and chose to tell the truth. "Because I am only responsible for stirring the potion and controlling the heat..."
"You mean..." Snape suddenly interrupted, "It is because of your classmate..."
At this point, Snape looked at Dana, who was beside Coven, and then continued to say to Coven, "Is it because he didn't get the right amount of herbs?"
"No, no, no, no professor." Coven quickly shook his head and denied it. Then he quickly said, "Actually, it's my mistake because I don't seem to be used to the measurements you said. If it were for me who threw the herbs in, this potion might have failed."
"Measurements?" Snape continued to look at Coven with his unknown eyes. After a pause, he snorted, "Excuse me."
Coven was speechless. He was clearly telling the truth, but he couldn't stand Snape's look of targeting him.
With this, Coven sighed in his heart and simply stopped talking.
During lunch, the reason why Coven deducted more points for Gryffindor was spread out by the gossip.
After lunch, Penelope walked over worriedly and sat next to Coven. She asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
"I'm not that weak." Coven rolled his eyes slightly. "It's just a few things to deal with."
"Then don't take it to heart." Penelope comforted her, "Professor Snape likes to pick on other House's faults. He also likes to favor his students."
"Did you hear it from your seniors again? Don't worry." Coven said indifferently, "At worst, I can just add more points in other classes."
Coven meant what he said.
...
In the afternoon, Charm Class, Coven no longer hid himself. He used the silent "Fluorescent Charm" and adjusted the brightness of the fluorescence at will.
Professor Flitwick was extremely excited and almost jumped to add 20 points to Coven. Therefore, Professor Flitwick fell from the pile of books.
The Gryffindor students were like fish, completely forgetting their complaints about Coven in the morning. All kinds of cheers, praises, and voices of advice surrounded Coven again.
In this regard, Coven just kept on being perfunctory.
But unfortunately, Coven was showing blind eyes. The surrounding Gryffindor did not see Coven's alienation and perfunctory attitude towards them...
After class, Coven simply packed up and went to the door of Snape's office alone.
...
Looking at the black door in front of him, Coven secretly sighed and raised his hand to knock on the door.
A few seconds later, Coven knocked on the door again. However, there was no response for a long time. Coven was puzzled. After scratching his head and thinking about it, he found that he had neglected it.
Obviously, Snape had classes in the afternoon, and Potion's class was a big one, so Snape could only come back after three o'clock.
'There is no other way, just wait.'
