Snape's Reflection
Having learned from George's experience, the remaining three applicants all chose Hermione as their rival. This made Shanna very unhappy.
Hermione was also unhappy about this.
Although she can now barely cast the Shield Charm Shield Charm, it is slow to form and has weak defensive capabilities. Therefore, it can only withstand a single Curses at most.
Even so, she still needs to concentrate all her energy and seize the right opportunity.
Otherwise, the Curses would be cast on the body before the Shield Charm even takes shape.
After a hard-fought battle, Hermione achieved a glorious record of 0 wins and 3 losses.
"Alright, Hermione, don't be angry. Don't you think your Shield Charm has become much more proficient after these three battles?"
On the way back to the castle, Bell tried his best to comfort his girlfriend who was throwing a tantrum.
There's nothing we can do; we brought this on ourselves, so we have to grit our teeth and accept it.
"I don't feel anything! I just feel like my legs are weak when I walk!"
That wretched guy Bell not only didn't consult her beforehand, but also unilaterally decided to send her to fight against those graduates.
Even before the battle began, under the pretext of improving the effectiveness of combat training, he made her remove her Defensive Trinket.
As a result, she was just hit by a total of one Disarming Charm, two Sleeping Charm, two Petrification Curse, and other Curses such as Binding Spell and Incarcerous.
Although Bell said the effects of the Curses on her had worn off, she still felt a little sore and stiff... in short, she felt uncomfortable all over!
"How about I carry you on my back?"
"Not good!"
"Okay, then I'll carry you."
Without giving Hermione a chance to refuse, Bell bent down and picked her up in his arms.
"Put me down! Put me down right now!"
Hermione blushed and slapped Bell in dissatisfaction.
However, judging from the force she used, she showed no sign of dissatisfaction.
"Brother! I'm still here, can't you even consider how I feel?"
Watching her Gege interact with Hermione, Little Shanna said she was jealous and needed a long time to be coaxed.
Bell awkwardly put Hermione down...
As soon as she landed, Hermione angrily kicked Bell.
Judging from the force of that kick, she was genuinely angry.
In the afternoon, Bell and Penelope returned to the job fair.
The other women said the interviews were too boring, so they didn't come along. Only Penelope, the employee, felt too embarrassed to just take the money and not do any work, so she reluctantly came along.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was Bear Bell.
So what was wrong with him that made him want to come and "work"?
At this time, there were already four people waiting in the venue.
Three of them were job applicants, standing trembling like chicks not far from another person.
"Professor Snape, you're here very early!"
Bell greeted Snape with a bright smile.
"Hmph! You're too late! Didn't your parents teach you to be punctual?"
Snape snorted in dissatisfaction.
He's been standing there like an idiot for 10 minutes now. Doesn't the other person know how precious his time is?!
"I'm not late, Professor. We agreed to meet at 2 p. m., and it's only 1:59 p. m. I'm a full minute early!"
Bell didn't care about Snape's attitude. After all, everyone in Hogwarts knew Snape's personality.
But he couldn't ignore Snape's slander.
Just kidding, he's never met anyone more punctual than himself! If he says he'll arrive at 2 o'clock, he absolutely won't arrive at 1:59...58!
"Hmph! I don't have time for your banter, let's get started!"
After saying that, Snape walked to the side and stared coldly at Bell and the others.
Shrugging, Bell ignored Snape's cold gaze and turned his attention to the three applicants in the room.
"Hello everyone, don't be nervous, Professor Snape won't eat you."
"He won't eat us, but he might kill us!"
The three Little Wizard silently complained to each other in their hearts.
"Without further ado, let's begin the afternoon interviews immediately."
I have prepared the materials for three types of Potions: Healing Potion, Antidote Potion, and Focus Potion. In the coming days, you may choose one to craft.
The time limit is 2 hours, and Professor Snape will provide feedback throughout. Do you have any questions?
Seeing that all three of them shook their heads, Bell took out the materials he had prepared in advance from his pocket and placed them on the table.
"Alright, let's begin the test, please."
While the three were selecting materials, Bell walked over to Snape's side.
"Professor, you should know these three people, right? What's their skill level like?"
"So-so, only slightly better than those idiots in Gryffindor."
Snape said.
Incidentally, of these three, two are from Slytherin House and one is from Ravenclaw.
With Snape in charge, there haven't been Gryffindor students in Hogwarts ' Potions Advanced Class for many years.
After all, no one would enjoy brewing Potions with the venom of an old bat, would they?
"Didn't your sister come?"
After glancing in the direction of the castle, Snape asked coldly.
As far as he knew, aside from class time, wherever Bell was, Shanna would be there too.
"No, she went to play with her friends."
"Hmph! You should really learn from your sister; her Potions skills are far superior to yours."
Snape was very pleased with Shanna's admission to Slytherin House this academic year.
The little girl not only had outstanding magical talent, but her achievements in Potions also surprised him.
An 11-year-old freshman who has just enrolled already possesses Potions skills that rival those of 7th-year graduates. At least the three people currently brewing Potions here are not necessarily much better than Shanna.
"Hammond, how many times have I told you not to squeeze so hard when extracting the juice from the ' Tarsh Root '! That will increase the impurities in the juice!"
Snape roared at one of them, making Hammond shudder and nearly tip the cauldron over.
After learning about Shanna's Potions skills, Snape deeply reflected on his many years of teaching.
He realized he had been too lenient with these little brats! Now, these seventh graders might not even be as good as a first-grader!
Therefore, during Potions Class that year, the students at Hogwarts clearly felt that Snape's mouth was becoming increasingly venomous.
One of the minor the Chosen One, who wished to remain anonymous, felt this most deeply.
As the saying goes, the deeper the love, the greater the criticism. Snape is now even thinking about how to raise Harry's Potions to Shanna's level, even in his dreams.
Fortunately, no one knew that the reason Snape was becoming increasingly harsh was actually because of Shanna. Otherwise, I believe many people would have been tempted to pick a fight with Shanna.
That would cause a lot of trouble.
If too many people die, even Bell would feel a little embarrassed.
