By the time a few people stepped into the classroom and sat down, the bell had already rang.

It wasn't long before Snape, dressed in black robes, pushed the door open and walked in, slamming his wand behind him and closing the door to the classroom.

The classroom suddenly became very quiet, and everyone was sitting on the back of their seats, putting away their thoughts of playing.

"Before we begin our classes, I think it's important to remind you......" Snape said, casually placing his book on the podium.

The empty gaze scanned the classroom for a few seconds, and then quietly looked away and continued.

"You're going to take an important exam next June, when you'll prove how much you've learned about potions making and using them."

"Even though it's true that a few of you in this class are mentally retarded, I hope you're here. L. I can barely 'pass' in the exam, otherwise I will ...... Very angry! ”

With that, Snape's gaze fell directly on Neville's face, and Neville's body shuddered and gasped in horror.

"Of course, after this year, many of you will no longer be able to attend my classes...... I only select the students with the best grades to enter my. Potions class, that said, we're going to have to say goodbye to some of you......"

Snape's tone was flat as he spoke of the important exam in a year's time.

. L., the full name of the ordinary wizarding level test, a total of 12 subjects, is a kind of subject test that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry students need to take, and only after passing can they get the qualification to continue studying this magic, which is very important.

And the subsequent 7th graders participated. The exam, which is equivalent to a vocational certificate, is directly related to whether they can find a good job after graduation.

For example, to apply for an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, you need to take at least five subjects... A "Excellent" or "Good" rating on the exam is a must.

Of course, for Ivan, such an exam is not worth taking.

With his current level of magic, except for the divination class, which requires some luck, Ivan is confident that he will get the highest evaluation in the remaining eleven exams.

However, in order to get academic grade points, Ivan still pretended to listen patiently.

After some warning, Snape quickly pulled out his books and went on to his first Potions lesson of the school year, Brewing Palliatives!

In this lesson, Harry was as bad as ever with Snape's poisonous tongue, and at the slightest mistake he would suddenly appear behind him like a ghost and sneer.

"Potter! I'm here for you to boil potions, not for you to boil water......"

"Is the moonstone powder put at this time? Porter? Give me a good read of the instructions! ”

"Potter, two drops of sneezing syrup are enough, remember clearly, I don't want to say it a second time!"

……

Under Snape's constant "encouragement", Harry, who was already in a hurry, completely boiled the potion into a mess of wastewater, and was ridiculed by Snape in public.

In the end, the disgraced Harry had to look around for help, hoping that someone could save him.

Seeing this scene, Ivan shook his head helplessly, sealed the boiled potion bottle, and then walked to Snape and spoke.

"Professor, my palliative has been boiled, can you help me take a look?"

Snape reluctantly let Harry go, turned his head and picked up the palliative handed over by Ivan, looked at it carefully, opened the lid and sniffed it, and finally slowly spat out a word. "Not bad!"

Ivan was very happy, as a Gryffindor student and Harry Potter friend, Snape's "good" could be made up as "very good".

This shows that his potion level has been affirmed by this potions master.

Harry gave Ivan a grateful look.

But Ivan didn't pay attention, he didn't just come to Snape to relieve Harry.

"By the way, Professor Snape, do you know where Headmaster Dumbledore is?" Ivan asked curiously.

This morning, when he opened the map of the living spots to check it out, he was surprised to find that Dumbledore was still not in the school, which was strange.

And the person most likely to know Dumbledore's whereabouts is only Snape, as a double-faced undercover agent who is valued by both sides at the same time, Snape must have a lot of secret information, and there must be a way to contact Dumbledore urgently.

"I need to warn you, Hals, it's class time...... Snape said coldly, placing the palliative in his hand on the podium, and then, as if thinking of something, looked at Ivan, who was following him, his tone softened a little, and spoke again.

"And I don't know about Headmaster Dumbledore's recent whereabouts, and I haven't seen him very often in the past two months...... The most recent time was yesterday's dinner, when you were there. ”

I don't know?

Ivan looked at Snape suspiciously, unable to determine if he was lying, and with his current level of regents, he couldn't break Snape's Occlumency.

"What about the mystery man? How is he doing lately? Ivan looked left and right, and saw that everyone else was still concentrating on brewing potions, so he lowered his voice and spoke.

After defeating Voldemort last time, Ivan had been wondering if his disguise was useful and how much Voldemort had believed.

"Thanks to you, he's still alive." Snape's gaze at Ivan became very strange, and it took a long time for the words to come out of his mouth.

Of course, Voldemort is still alive and well, but his spirit is a little abnormal......

Snape was so curious about what happened that night that Voldemort hid in the safe house and stayed in a paranoia for two months......

However, Snape knew very well that it was not convenient for him to contact Ivan this school year, and in just a moment, a gaze had already turned to this side—Malfoy was staring at him very nervously.

Snape could only suppress the curiosity in his heart, and his lips moved slightly, and he reminded in a very light tone.

"Be careful lately, especially don't eat indiscriminately......"

With that, Snape ignored Ivan's reaction and walked straight past him with a wooden face, sternly scolding Neville who had accidentally knocked over the cauldron.

Ivan's face remained unchanged, and he returned to his seat on his own, picking up a few potions materials and boiling them in the cauldron, but his mind was recalling Snape's last words.

Don't eat indiscriminately?

Could it be that someone is preparing to poison their food?
