Chapter 49 Magic·Rhinoceros Beetle·Thousand Year Kill!
Until the end of get out of class, the little wizards had not yet woken up from the shock.
Snape does give people extra points, but they are all Slytherin points.
How long had he given other colleges an advantage?
Oh, it was added to Rove last year, but it was also to obtain the special method of processing porcupine quills... it was involuntary and more points were deducted quickly.
Taking the initiative to add twenty points to students from other houses like this, in Snape's eleven-year career, he could count them on one hand...ah, on one finger!
Isn't this a fake Snape?
Well... Neville and Hannah, who were punished by cleaning the Potions classroom on Saturday for not completing the potion, were sure that this must be the real Snape!
After class, the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students walked towards the Transfiguration classroom, still discussing this surprise that surprised them.
What is a surprise?
Everyone will not be surprised to see Professor Dumbledore doing personnel things, because people should do personnel things.
But everyone was pleasantly surprised when they saw Professor Snape doing personnel work.
Surprise is beyond expectation!
As they approached the classroom, they met Gryffindor and Slytherin students who had just finished class.
When the little lions and little snakes heard about this, they all showed expressions of disbelief. When they looked at Scamander, their eyes seemed to be looking at a rare creature that had been declared extinct and reappeared.
Hermione, who was carrying a heavy schoolbag, said hello to Shirley, then looked at Rove with wide eyes and asked curiously: "How did you do that?!"
"It's just a flash of inspiration. Maybe my changes are in line with Snape's preferences." Rove explained.
In fact, he was also surprised that Snape would add points to him. After all, he would be thankful if he didn't deduct points.
Snape was definitely not the kind of teacher who liked others to change his potion steps. He preferred absolute control.
It can only mean that Snape may have had Rove's sudden inspiration... and it touched him.
This is not impossible, after all, Rolf's magical talent came from Snape.
Many young wizards were eavesdropping on what Rolf was saying, and they suddenly realized that Snape didn't like students who followed the rules, but liked... innovation? !
Tell me earlier!
They have decided to be a little more "daring and radical" in the next class.
Ron also felt that he had mastered the scoring code, and he said excitedly: "Harry, I will add your hair to the score next class."
"..."
"Ron, if you add my eyes, you may have a greater chance of gaining points." Harry thought for a moment and said, "You know, Snape looks into my eyes with hatred in every class."
"It makes sense!" Ron slapped his thigh hard, and he also had an idea:
"We asked George and Fred to use transfiguration to turn the potion ingredients into the shape of your eyes.
Next class, I will throw it into the crucible in front of Snape..."
"..."
Professor McGonagall also heard about the Potions class, and she even took advantage of the break to run to the teachers' lounge to take a look at Snape.
Professor Flitwick was also in the room, and he asked in a subtle way whether Snape was sick and whether he wanted to go to the school hospital and ask Madam Pomfrey to have a look at... his brain.
He really couldn't accept it... Snape actually gave extra points to students from other houses!
Ye Qingjie!
After Professor McGonagall left the faculty lounge, she returned to the Transfiguration classroom. The students had already arrived and were handing in their summer homework voluntarily.
Rolf was sitting in the front row, and Professor McGonagall walked over and asked what happened in Potions class.
After hearing Luo Fu recount what happened in class, she gave a few words of encouragement, then frowned and said:
"Mr. Scamander, I asked Miss Swinton about your progress in transfiguration... With your talent, you shouldn't be so slow."
Shirley quietly made a helpless expression at the young man. Professor McGonagall asked her to understand the situation. Of course, she could only answer truthfully and could not exaggerate the progress for Rolf.
"Sorry Professor, I've tried so hard."
There was nothing Luol could do. The "transformation talent" from Mag only lasted for a month. After it ended, his self-study speed changed from a rapid pace to a rapid decline.
He can't even see Shirley's taillights now!
Of course, if Professor McGonagall is captured, the use period can be extended for another year, but Rolf has to be brave.
Capturing the vice principal would probably result in him being expelled from Hogwarts the next day.
But Professor McGonagall didn't know this. She only thought that Rove was spending too much energy on other subjects, so she advised:
"Mr. Scamander, you have to work hard and don't squander your talent for transformation. Compared with potions, transformation is definitely more important!"
Rolf pursed his lips. How about you and Professor Snape have a fight? Whoever wins will mean which course is more important.
In the first class of the new semester, Professor McGonagall took everyone to review the content of the previous semester.
Although it has only been two months, for many young wizards, it has been so long that it seems like they have completely forgotten what they learned in their previous life.
Professor McGonagall began to talk, constantly dismantling and reorganizing the key points, and explaining the techniques of transformation through some comparisons.
Half of the class flew by unconsciously, and the blackboard was filled with writings on the blackboard.
Finally, Professor McGonagall distributed beetles and asked everyone to turn them into buttons.
Both Luo Fu and Shirley moved very quickly, and this transformation was too simple for them.
Neville's beetles were running around the table hiding from his wand, but he couldn't light them.
Hannah stretched out her hand to suppress the beetle and asked Neville to cast the spell, but the little girl was too strong and accidentally squeezed out the explosive liquid, which hit Susan's face.
MacMillan clicked his wand on the beetle, and it suddenly grew as big as a basketball and scurried around the classroom.
The beetle was a unicorn, with a reddish-brown body and a long protruding horn on top of its head, like a sharp blade.
The little wizards screamed and fled, and the unicorn jumped from the window into the corridor, trying to escape.
"I'll handle it." Professor McGonagall walked out quickly. She raised her wand, and a silk thread wrapped around the rhinoceros.
But just then, Lockhart and Filch walked over.
Lockhart was explaining to Filch how to clean up pests in Hogwarts, and then he saw a huge beetle.
The beetle was already entangled, and Lockhart's confidence suddenly increased. He smiled slightly and said:
"I'll handle it. I'm the best at dealing with insects... Watch, Filch, I'll only demonstrate once."
Lockhart raised his wand gracefully and waved it at the beetle. There was a loud bang and the beetle not only did not disappear, but became even bigger.
It broke free from the rope, raised its strong horns, and struck Lockhart.
Lockhart's mind went blank. When he turned around again, he found that Filch had picked up Mrs. Norris and ran away.
Professor McGonagall had no intention of helping at all. She stood at the door and watched Lockhart deal with the beetle.
But Lockhart also turned around and ran away. Unfortunately, a stone suddenly shot from a distance and hit his legs. He staggered and fell to the ground.
Shirley's eyes widened and she turned to look at Rolf who had put away his wand. There was an innocent look on the boy's face, as if it had nothing to do with him.
The horned fairy climbed up behind Lockhart, and stabbed his butt with its huge horn like a spear.
Magic·Horned Fairy·Millennium Killing!
A scream sounded in the corridor, and everyone took a breath of air.
Professor McGonagall also twitched the corners of her mouth, and had only one thought in her mind.
"This cannot be considered a work-related injury. Hogwarts will not compensate you!"
