The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 463 Three Questions

Looking at the figure walking step by step from the door——

"Oh my God!" Ginny Weasley covered her mouth and couldn't help muttering, "How could that be!"

She wasn't the only one who reacted like this...

Because the elder who appeared from the door was actually very familiar to all of them...but it was completely unexpected to them.

"Why is it Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny couldn't help but leaned into Luna's ear and asked in a low voice.

Many people present have the same question as her, but Luna Lovegood does not seem to be one of them.

"Because Professor Dumbledore is the principal!" Luna said with a look of reason, without any surprise on her face: "Is there anything strange about this?"

"Forget it, I can't tell you." Ginny stuck out her tongue and turned her head away.

And Albus Dumbledore had already strode to the podium at this time.

...

"I know many of you will be surprised..." Professor Dumbledore's voice was only slightly higher than a whisper, but the teachers and students in the class could clearly hear every word he said: "After all, your The Potions teacher, after only one short Christmas, the delightful Horace Slughorn, suddenly turned into a bad old man like me..."

There was a burst of low laughter among the students, but when Dumbledore looked up, the laughter stopped abruptly.

"Of course I can assure you... within two months at most, I will return Horace to you intact!" Dumbledore explained with a smile: "But at this stage, I want to find a temporary substitute It is indeed quite difficult to be a Potions class teacher for a month."

"As most people think, your Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Severus Snape, is theoretically a suitable candidate... but Severus has too many things to keep busy at this time, Refused my invitation!" Dumbledore paused, and continued: "So as a last resort, I can only come and take this position!"

"Of course, I'm not sure if I'm the right person for this position!"

A short opening remark, with Albus Dumbledore's unique sense of humor... The students of the four colleges present all pricked up their ears, listening carefully to the voices from the podium, even those who The students of Slytherin who pretended to be "disdainful" were no exception.

No one takes Professor Dumbledore's last words to heart...but any student who knows a little about Albus Dumbledore will be very clear: the greatest achievement of the headmaster of Hogwarts' life is nothing but resistance In addition to the two Dark Lords successively, he discovered twelve uses of dragon's blood-that is the content of the most advanced potion science.

Looking at the tense and curious eyes of this group of people, Dumbledore said gracefully: "I think your two former Potions teachers have mentioned to you that the reason why you came here is for It is to learn the precise science and strict craftsmanship of potion preparation... Regarding things like potions, they are complex, mysterious, and wonderful, and countless hazy veils are shrouded around them; Layers of veils... So, can someone tell me what a potion is?"

The whole classroom fell into a sudden silence.

Not for any other reason...but purely because the question Dumbledore raised is too simple.

Ginny and Luna looked at each other, but others had already raised their hands first.

"Very well, Miss Poppins, you answer this question."

The one named by Dumbledore was Melinda Poppin, a very pretty Ravenclaw girl.

"Professor Snape once taught us..." Popin raised his head and replied confidently: "Potions are potions made by magic... They can help us improve our prestige, brew glory, and even prevent death... "

After she finished answering, she glanced quietly at Albus Dumbledore.

However, Professor Dumbledore did not agree with her answer for a while, nor did he raise objections.

He just smiled and said: "It's quite a standard answer, I can't say that there are any mistakes in your answer... But I must point out that if you think that potions are just potions made by magic, that is a kind of medicine. Pretty narrow view."

Melinda Bobbin froze, looking obviously at a loss.

But Albus Dumbledore came to her side, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and made her sit down.

"Then let's change the question!" Dumbledore did not continue to look at Meranda Bobin, but asked again: "If we need a strong antidote in a very urgent situation, then we'd better The choice is... very well, Miss Weasley, you answer that question."

This time, Ginny Weasley was the first to raise her hand. She raised her hand high before Dumbledore finished speaking.

"You can use bezoar, Professor Dumbledore!" Ginny said without hesitation.

Obviously, this is also the answer Dumbledore wanted: "Very good, a piece of bezoar can detoxify many complex poisons...Gryffindor adds five points."

While talking, Dumbledore waved for Ginny to sit down too.

"What is bezoar? It is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow...more precisely, it is a stone produced in the liver and gallbladder of a cow..." Dumbledore continued: "This is A pretty useful potion, but sadly it doesn't require any kind of magic to create."

The entire classroom fell into silence again, and everyone was savoring what Dumbledore had just said.

"Of course, I'm not trying to tear down your former Potions teacher, but I have to say that if you think that potions are just potions made by magic, that's a pretty narrow point of view!" Dumbledore said The expression gradually became serious: "In fact, even among the many medicines of Muggles, bezoar is frequently used..."

Dumbledore only briefly mentioned Muggles before stopping abruptly.

"Then let's move on to the next question... Miss Weasley!"

Ginny Weasley stood up confidently again.

"Since we know that bezoar is a powerful antidote...then may I ask why it can detoxify the poison?" Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, and then asked.
