Chapter 635 Snape's Secret

Umbridge handed all matters to Filch, not only because she thought the work was tedious, but also because she really didn't have time.

Because when Kyle and Connor walked down the stone steps of the underground classroom to the Potions classroom, they suddenly found Umbridge sitting in a dark corner at the back, holding the familiar writing board in her hand.

Others also saw it, and there was a burst of discussion in the classroom.

"Strange, why is she here again..."

"Does the professor have to be investigated twice?"

"It shouldn't be possible, other classes are only once..."

"Maybe Professor Snape is different, you know, he is not so likable."

"Nonsense, Professor Snape is the best!" The last person to speak was obviously a Slytherin.

But no matter what, everyone felt very curious and didn't understand why Umbridge had just investigated Professor Snape in the Potions class, but it was less than two days later, and she came again.

Umbridge herself was also curious. She listened to the discussions of the people around her and looked at the content on her writing board, feeling a little confused.

Why did everyone say she had been here, but there was clearly no investigation result about Snape on the writing board.

"Quiet!"

At this time, the door of the classroom was pushed open.

The whole classroom instantly became silent.

Snape strode in, glanced at the corner, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

Kel also noticed their expressions, and one of them couldn't help laughing out loud.

But immediately, Snape, who heard the noise, immediately turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

Kel quickly closed his mouth, but his shoulders were still shrugged, obviously holding back very hard.

Connor looked at him and asked curiously: "What are you laughing at."

"It's so interesting, Professor Snape seems to have made things worse." Kyle said in a low voice.

He knew very well that Umbridge's investigation of other professors was enough once, and there was no need to come to listen to the class twice.

Now she appeared in the Potions classroom again, which can only mean one thing...she forgot she had been here.

In other words, Snape used the Oblivion Charm on her, causing her to forget some things, including the results of the investigation into Snape.

To be honest, the Oblivion Charm was not very effective. Umbridge had forgotten too many things, even the things she had attended in class, and then she came again today.

This did not work at all.

Anyway, Kyle felt that if it were him, he would only make Umbridge forget some necessary things... such as the questions she asked after class.

This is the solution to the problem.

But then again, Kyle was quite curious about what Umbridge had said that was worth Snape using the Oblivion Charm on her.

But just when Kyle wanted to tell Connor about this, he looked up and met Snape's eyes.

His eyes were cold and emotionless, as if he would kill someone in the next second.

There was no way, Kyle could only shut up and said nothing.

Snape's expression eased a little.

"Today we are learning about the potion of joy..." He calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

"This is a potion that requires enough patience to brew successfully, because you must always pay attention to the color changes of the potion in the crucible. Only in this way can you complete the next step at the right time..."

"How to operate..." He waved his wand, "...on the blackboard, start now."

Everyone immediately forgot about Umbridge and started to get busy.

"Albizia albizzia...unicorn hair...peppermint..."

Kel checked his materials and confirmed that there was no problem, then began to grind the roots of Albizia albizzia.

For the first half hour, Umbridge had been very quiet, but Kyle knew that she would take action soon.

Because she was like this the last time she came.

Sure enough...it was as if there was an alarm clock tied to the stool. After half an hour, Umbridge immediately stood up and walked towards Snape from between the two rows of tables.

She glanced at the crucibles of the students on both sides.

"The students in this class seem to be very good." Umbridge said, "The Joy Potion is a great potion that can make us feel happy. We usually need a little happiness."

"But this kind of happiness is false." Snape said slowly: "And if you take too much, there will be side effects..."

"I don't think it's a problem." Umbridge said lightly, "Just drink less. If the Joy Potion is really that dangerous, the Ministry of Magic would not agree to it appearing in the course, right."

Snape sneered twice.

"Then, you are in Hogwarts..."

"I have taught here for fourteen years." Snape said directly before she finished speaking.

Umbridge was stunned for a moment, but didn't care, just made a few strokes on the writing board.

Kyle crushed the petals of the albizzia with the back of the knife, while tilting his head to observe them.

Seeing Umbridge put down the writing board, he subconsciously whispered:

"Did you apply to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class first?"

The next second, Umbridge asked the same question, without changing a word.

Sure enough...

This further confirmed Kyle's guess that Snape cast the Oblivion Charm on Umbridge.

However, at this time, the preparation of the joy potion had reached the most critical moment. Everyone's attention was on the potion in the crucible. Except for Kyle, no one else noticed this.

The same question was asked again, which made Snape very annoyed, but he had no way to deal with it. In order not to attract more attention, he could only cooperate with Umbridge and answer those questions that seemed meaningless to him.

What happened next was also unchanged.

After asking Snape, Umbridge began to circle around the classroom, pretending to check the potions brewed by everyone.

The reason why it was called pretense was that Umbridge knew nothing about the process of brewing the joy potion, and she actually praised a student whose crucible had pink potion.

The real joy potion should be a blue color before adding unicorn hair.

The pink color was because the order of putting the materials was wrong. The dried petals of the albizzia were put first, instead of its juice.

There was a burst of laughter from all around. The student who brewed the wrong potion blushed, lowered his head and said nothing. Even Snape, who was at the front, curled his lips slightly, as if he was laughing at Umbridge's ignorance.

Only Umbridge stared, not knowing what others were laughing at.

Until the end of the get out of class, everyone poured the finished joy potion into the bottle.

Almost everyone's potion was a light gold color, only the person she praised had a different potion color from others. Umbridge realized that she had praised the wrong person just now.

But she pretended that nothing had happened and walked towards Snape again.

Kyle's eyes lit up.

Last time, Snape should have cast a forgetfulness spell on her during a private conversation... This time, she would definitely say the same thing.

Kyle deliberately fell behind, loosened his hand, and threw a few pieces of parchment on the ground, trying to delay leaving the classroom.

He did this last time in the Transfiguration class.

However, before he could pick it up, Snape swung his wand.

The parchment on the ground, including Kyle himself, was immediately blown out of the classroom by a gust of wind.

Then...

Bang!

The classroom door was slammed shut.
