Chapter 79 Underground Cleanup
As soon as Professor Snape appeared, he threw an "Immobulus!" at the panicking little wizards and the wandering snakes.
The little witch was so shocked that she didn't move in the blink of an eye. The snake was the same. Everyone seemed to be frozen in a photo.
Snape walked to the snake's place, carefully observed it a few times, and said: "Green-gray snake, this is not a poisonous snake, it often appears in vegetable fields."
He frowned, how could the green-gray snake appear here?
If it appeared in Professor Sprout's warm house, it wouldn't be much worse.
Lam Ha took this opportunity to go forward to observe, unable to help but be surprised.
Good guy, seven things!
Mikel is stealing fuel again?
Snape glanced at Lam Ha, ignored him, and threw another "Remove Stabilization" at the frozen scene!
The little witch was once again active, but this time without any urgency.
They weren't afraid of being immobilized, and they could also hear Snape say that these snakes weren't poisonous!
"Now, immediately, take me to the potions classroom!" Snape said coldly.
"Lin Xia." He changed his words, "This is a self-study potion class, you help me manage the order in the classroom after school, you are an excellent student, managing such a group of students is not difficult, don't tell me I can't do it."
You say so, even if I find it difficult, I will say it is not difficult.
Lam Ha thought so in his heart, but calmly said: "Yes, professor."
The little witch followed Lin Xia to the potion classroom. Lin Xia deliberately looked at Mikel. His expression was a bit pale, as if he was scared by those snakes.
Not to mention other things, but this acting skill is indeed not bad.
Entering the potion classroom, this time everyone's arrangement was still as clear as ever.
But this course is a final exam, Professor Snape will definitely come to check it.
So Lam Ha thought about it and didn't let the little witch make the first move, but instead used "Flagrate" to write out the difficult part of the crafting skill in the air.
These and other difficulties are obvious to young wizards when they start making potions, but they lack a set of inductive and summary methods, so they often make mistakes.
Lin Xia said: "You guys write more class summaries, don't feel like you're wasting time, write more points and you'll discover, a lot of mistakes when arranging, can all be avoided."
The little witch ran quickly and bowed her head to write.
Waiting for them to be ready, Lam Ha asked them to make medicine.
Not only did she summarize the difficult points, she also asked Draco and Hermione to go up on stage to make the potion.
"If you have anything you don't understand, you can watch the two people's medicine mixing techniques and learn."
As for Lam Ha himself, he was responsible for putting out fires everywhere and dealing with the little witches' frequent questions.
Mikel did not get sick of Lin Xia's teaching method.
If he did it, he could do it better.
Not only can he summarize the difficult points, he can also give everyone a set of test papers, through the strategy of repeating memories, ensuring that the little wizard will not make any mistakes again.
But Ron and Harry seemed to really like Lin Xia's way of teaching.
While mixing potions, the two praised Lam Ha for being better at teaching than Snape.
Mikel couldn't help but say: "Haven't you read the books? Every time you pass by a good school, the teacher will clearly write down the class's key points!"
Ron's eyes were filled with confusion, "Reading, what kind of fun is that?"
Harry shook his head doubtfully: "The teacher won't be in the advanced class, he will just let us experience it ourselves."
Mikel:...
This damn fun education!
On the other side, Professor Snape did not choose to handle this matter alone, but sent the news to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall arrived and investigated the scene, making all the teachers who weren't in class gather in the basement.
Very quickly, except for those teaching, all the teachers came.
There were professors examining the green-gray snakes that were jumping around, some checking the basement's terrain and temperature, and some running to other classrooms...
McGonagall asked: "What do you think?"
Sprout affirmed: "The green-gray snake has no reason to appear here."
Snape looked at her: "Could it be that he ran out from your vegetable patch?"
She shook her head: "Let's not talk about whether the snake outside can break through Hogwarts' first screening or not. Even if it really ran out from my vegetable patch, it's impossible for it to be this non-poisonous green-gray snake."
Snape was silent for a moment.
He thought of the herbs Sprout planted, only a few were intermediate grade, the rest were all high grade.
Exactly, even if there really is a snake, it is unlikely to be a cowardly green-gray snake.
Another professor also asked: "The basement temperature is not suitable for fertilization, could it be that other students' pranks let them in?"
McGonagall: "I heard that last weekend, a student discovered a snake in the basement."
Professor Flitwick immediately said: "Could that be a student pet?"
Manager Filch also arrived and said, "Impossible. According to the "Student Pet Registration Form", Hogwarts doesn't have a single student raising a blue-grey snake."
Snape thought of an event, "There was a student ahead who stopped me, saying he heard the sound of snakes crawling in the basement, but he didn't know where."
Professor McGonagall pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that someone intentionally brought it in. Although we don't know what the intention of bringing a non-venomous snake in is, in order to protect the safety of the students, we will immediately start cleaning up the basement!"
The teacher takes the center position, then divides the east, south, west, and north into four directions, two teachers in a group, cleaning up the left and right sides of the classroom.
They all used very powerful dark magic, once used, all living beings could not survive.
The snake did not come out much, but in fact, old rats, cockroaches, spiders, etc. came out in large numbers.
Every time a classroom is cleaned, the teacher will use "Scourgify" to sweep out the trash inside.
In just one hour, the underground basement was cleared.
But the professor still hasn't left, there are still some tail hands that need to be dealt with.
Snape, because of the lock, went back to the potions classroom first.
After entering, he discovered that the young witches were very efficient, most of them had completed the arrangement of the clear and bright set.
Although the small part of the people are still in the process of being arranged, they have already taken a few key steps in the back. If there are no mistakes, they can succeed.
Professor Snape looked at Lam Ha, his voice still filled with arrogance.
"It seems you, an excellent student, are not a good-looking or a bad-looking person. Hufflepuff +1 point."
Lam Ha humbly said: "I just said some inductive summaries, the little witch is smart, she can hear everything."
Professor Snape sighed, "No wonder, the food is already in their mouths, if they still can't cook well, I should doubt their intelligence."
...
After the potion class ended, Mikel quickly ran out of the classroom and glanced at the empty snake-throwing classroom.
Can't see anything.
The first day he only released three green-gray snakes, but later he felt it was not safe, so the next day he quietly added four more.
It's just that he didn't expect that these green-gray snakes would gather together and move, instead of being scattered everywhere.
He prayed in his heart: The professor must definitely discover the troll!
So he had a reason to brush his face in front of the professor, he was the first to discover that there was a strange little witch in the basement!
But somehow, until noon, Mikel still hadn't heard any announcement from the school.
He couldn't help but ask Ron: "Professor, can you clean all the snakes in the basement?"
Ron naturally nodded: "Yes, I'm afraid the professor has already washed it all!"
Mikel asked: "Then why not send out a notice?"
Ron looked confused: "Why do you want to send out an announcement? It's just a few non-poisonous snakes. Sending out an announcement is too shocking."
Mikel was surprised to discover that he had fallen into the wrong mindset!
Even if the school discovers the Troll this time, it can still be hidden from the students, in the end, not a single student has discovered the Troll.
Mikel's mind was racing, he suddenly stood up and went out.
No, he came to take this credit!
On the other side, Quirrell was also feeling panic.
After he finished class this morning, he heard news that there were snakes in the basement, this was not unusual.
But at noon, while eating with other professors, Quirrell heard them talking about the big cleanup in the basement, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Big, big clean up?!"
Quirrell stammered, shocked and embarrassed.
On the other hand, the professor saw his appearance and felt very strange.
"That's right, who knows how those non-venomous snakes were brought in, or if there's some kind of conspiracy, we'll just have to do a major cleanup of the basement."
Snape deliberately asked: "How is it, Professor Quirrell has any explanation that is different from ordinary people?"
Quirrell stiffly pulled at the corner of his mouth, forcing a smile: "Big, big cleaning is, quite good, really good, then, let's do a big cleaning!"
Voldemort said he could seek Snape's help, but Quirrell never mentioned it to Snape.
He knew that when Voldemort was still alive, Snape was his most loyal servant.
But now Snape is doing well at Hogwarts, much more respectable than other Death Eaters, who knows what Snape is thinking?
Quirrell was also scared by Snape before, did not dare to be frank with him, when he saw him he was like an old mouse seeing a cat.
After absentmindedly finishing his lunch, Quirrell quickly stood up and left.
Who would have thought that Snape would also stand up, an arrogant tone came from behind him: "Professor Quirrell, I have something to ask you, come with me to the office."
Professor Quirrell lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "Okay, good."
Quirrell walked into Snape's office, extremely anxious, wanting to go to the underground basement to see the Troll's situation.
Can trolls be killed by them?
Voldemort mission failed, what should he do now?
Can they detect Voldemort?!
No matter how anxious he was, Quirrell had no choice but to stay in Snape's office and accept his "interrogation".
Ever since Filch sent him a protective charm for stealing students, although he proved his innocence, Hogwarts still kept an eye on him.
Snape, is the school sent to monitor his people.
Snape noticed Quirrell's abnormality and suddenly asked: "Professor Quirrell, you look very worried. Do you want to go out?"
Professor Quirrell trembled and shook his head: "No, no."
Snape: "Since that's the case, then stay in my office, I'll see how you'll teach the next steps of your dark magic defense course."
"What?" Quirrell couldn't hide it for a moment, his reaction was huge.
Snape raised his eyebrows: "What, you're not happy?"
Quirrell immediately shook his head, "No, it isn't."
