In Potions class.
The first-year lions were uneasy, but they tried their best to cheer themselves up and not let Professor Snape get the chance to deduct points.
Like the Slytherin students, they frequently looked at Damon, who caused all this trouble, with the opposite idea - they must snatch Damon away (keep him)!
Snape felt the restlessness and uneasiness of the students below the stage, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "Why are you uneasy? We don't need your impetuous emotions in Potions class.
Gryffindor will deduct ten points because of your poor condition!"
Well, let's start.
Harry and Ron couldn't help but glare at Snape, while Hermione quietly looked at the exposed part of Snape's body - she wanted to try to find the wound.
"Potter, how dare you look at your professor with such rude eyes? Gryffindor will deduct another
ten points." Seeing Harry trying to suppress his anger, Snape's mouth curled up with satisfaction, and then looked at Damon, who had "hard work" to earn these 150 points, and immediately had 20 points deducted.
The arc of his mouth shrank.
Because Damon just looked at him with a smile, with a meaning in his eyes that Snape could not fully understand, just like an adult looking at his own child who had not grown up.
Snape's expression was serious, and he felt that the fun was reduced a lot.
"Let's start the class!"
I don't know if it was because Damon earned 300 points for Gryffindor, Snape was even more unhappy with Damon, and he didn't even want him to "leave early" like before.
After Damon finished the potion, he continued to assign him a new class task, and ordered him to complete it before the end of class, otherwise he would severely deduct his points!
"Why did you suddenly change your temper?"
Damon shook his head, calmly completed the second task assigned by Snape, and submitted it.
At this time, there were still three minutes left before the end of the class. Only about 20% of the students in the classroom had completed the classroom tasks assigned by Snape, and most of them were Slytherin students.
In the past, Snape was always happy about this, but when he saw that Damon was still at ease after completing an extra potion, he became gnashing his teeth again.
His lips moved, and it was hard to tell what mood he was in when he said those words, "It seems that I have been too negligent in you. Since our dueling prince is so talented in potions, he should complete one more potion than others every time."
"It's up to you, professor. As long as your task is in class, I don't care."
Damon's attitude was very cooperative, but this did not make Snape feel any better - he should have been able to slowly train this kid after the "Damon's flash attack on Malfoy incident", but Augusta Longbottom ruined his plan.
When the class was over, he threatened Damon fiercely:
"You'd better pray that you don't fall into my hands!"
"What are you crazy about, professor?"
Damon smiled, not taking his threat seriously at all.
Snape watched Damon leave, thinking about how to put this kid in detention for a semester, and didn't notice that Hermione was standing behind him, looking at him hesitantly.
"Oh - he dared to threaten Damon! Is it because of what happened in the Forbidden Forest that day?"
Ron and Harry came to Hermione and looked at Snape with disgust.
"He is simply lawless. No, I can't stand it."
Hermione's expression was calm, but her actions were as fast as lightning - she pretended to be in a hurry to finish the class, and ran towards Snape's back!
Bang!
Snape was caught off guard and was knocked down by Hermione from behind.
Harry and Ron saw him twisting his body like a zombie, looking at Hermione with a cold and stiff expression:
"What are you doing, Miss Granger?"
"I'm sorry, Professor, I--I was in a hurry and accidentally fell."
Hermione quietly looked at Snape's expression, trying to find a painful expression on his face.
"Gryffindor will be deducted ten points for your recklessness!"
Snape waved his sleeves and left with displeasure and snickering--at this rate, he would soon be able to deduct all the points earned by Damon, and Slytherin would still be the champion of the College Cup!
"Hermione, did you find anything?"
After Snape left, Harry and Ron came to Hermione and asked without bothering to express their surprise.
"No." Hermione shook her head, a puzzled look on her face, "The expression on Snape's face doesn't look fake, could it be that his injury has been healed?"
"It's not impossible, he is a potion master after all."
"If that's the case, it's bad, wouldn't we have lost the opportunity to expose him?"
"It doesn't matter! As long as we keep an eye on him, he will always show his flaws!"
Hermione focused on Snape's back as he left, just like Snape looked at Damon before.
Ron and Harry looked at each other and shuddered for no apparent reason.
After class, they did not get to relax either - as the exam week approached, Hermione became more and more anxious, and she had to finish all her homework as soon as possible. Harry and Ron could only accompany her to the end.
In the past, after finally getting to Friday for the holiday, they would definitely have a lot of fun until Sunday when they went to Damon to borrow homework to copy, or start from Saturday to complete the homework under Hermione's guidance.
But now, as Damon's excellence continues to gain popularity, they feel more and more pressure.
It turns out that Professor Flitwick's approach is very effective - with such an excellent example in front of them, even though he never persuades others to work hard, the first-year lions still spontaneously become diligent, and Ron and Harry, as Damon's roommates, are even more so.
What surprised them was that they actually saw Damon in the library - this had not happened for a long time.
They were used to Damon disappearing from class on Friday to Sunday, but they did not expect to see him in the library.
"Hey, what's going on today?"
The two sat down next to Damon and asked quietly.
But without Damon saying anything, they felt that they had already guessed the answer - Damon was opening the letters sent to him by the owls during the day.
Hermione quietly pulled out a chair and sat down opposite the three people calmly.
"Nothing, just checking to see if there are any messages that need to be replied to."
Damon explained, but the real reason for his appearance here was not because of this - now students are paying attention to him wherever he goes, because Snape doesn't let him leave early, it's not convenient for him to go to the Room of Requirement after class.
Simply, these letters will have to be dealt with sooner or later, so there is no hindrance.
Because there are too many letters, Damon doesn't plan to read them one by one, and only selects the most important ones to reply.
Among them, the one that he feels most cautious about is the letter that transforms into a mini blue butterfly.
The owner of this letter is called Basida Bagshot.
She is a famous historian in the magic world and the author of "A History of Magic".
At the same time, she is also the great-aunt of the first generation of Dark Lord - Grindelwald.
