"It's a pity. If only the Hippogriff had given birth a few days later... With your help, I would be able to have a much easier time."
As he spoke, he rubbed his chest… On that coat made of unknown material, there were three neat white scratches, which should have been caused by the hippogriff.
Kyle's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: "Professor, where is your prosthetic leg?"
"Oh, lost in the Hesperides. Those big guys are a disaster when they get angry."
……
After saying goodbye to Professor Kettleburn, the two headed towards the castle.
On the way back, Kanna asked curiously, "You can also help magical animals give birth..."
"Let's not talk about this, we are still good friends!"
Kyle said unhappily, "Besides, it's Newt who's helping. I'm just an assistant at best!"
Seeing Kyle's depressed look, Kanna's eyes curved into crescents and she chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.
The second section is History of Magic.
There was nothing much to say about Professor Binns' class. As soon as he started reading out those boring times and names, many little wizards began to feel drowsy.
It has been like this since two years ago and it is still like this now, and there are more and more people like this.
Less than five minutes into the class, a large number of people collapsed in the classroom.
And the students seem to have evolved a magical ability... No matter how noisy they are when sleeping in the dormitory, once they get here, everything becomes very quiet and their sleep quality is excellent.
It was as if the History of Magic table had some magical power.
After class, everyone quickly woke up, left the classroom refreshed, and prepared to go to the auditorium for dinner.
Kyle also met the three Weasley brothers at the entrance of the hall.
They seemed to be discussing something, but when they saw Kyle coming, they ran away quickly.
"Do you know what they're saying?" Kyle asked.
Kanna shook her head, and there were still marks on her face from the books she had read while sleeping.
"It's inexplicable..." Kyle looked at their backs and walked into the auditorium in confusion.
……
There were two consecutive potions classes with Snape in the afternoon.
The first day of the new school year, History of Magic in the morning, Potions in the afternoon... It would be hard to find a worse schedule at Hogwarts.
When leaving the common room, except for Kanna, everyone else had a bad expression, especially those students who had not finished their homework, who could hardly walk steadily.

Chapter 275 Snape's Negative Emotions
Snape did not disappoint.
Anyone who failed to hand in their homework received three days of confinement.
Not only did they have to finish their homework in the cold underground classroom at night, but they also had to deal with the entire wooden barrel of potion materials piled in the corner.
Although Snape didn't say what it was, judging from his sinister smile and the fishy smell that permeated the classroom, the things inside must be very bad.
Mikel and Ryan looked at each other, feeling lucky that they had escaped.
They had just finished catching up on their Potions homework ten minutes ago.
"We are learning a new potion today: Shrinkage Potion."
Snape said in his usual long tone: "I have written out the steps, everyone please read them carefully, and then you can go get the materials.
What are you waiting for! "
Everyone immediately left their seats and crowded around the cabinets along the wall.
As usual, the necessary materials were placed on Kanna's desk, but unlike the full bag before, this time there was only one portion.
This also means that Kyle can no longer take advantage of her.
Kyle glanced at Snape and found that he was also looking at him, with mockery in his eyes.
"mean!"
Kyle pouted, stood up and walked towards the cabinet.
Because he went too late, when he arrived, he found that there were only a few broken daisy roots and two or three squashed and shrunken figs left in the cabinet.
“All materials are limited.”
Snape's voice came from the podium, "So you'd better succeed at once, and don't think about trying again if you make a mistake!"
"Before the end of get out of class, the person who completes the potion the worst will have twenty points deducted. This may motivate you to be a little more serious and make the potion better."
As he said this, Snape's eyes never left Kyle.
Needless to say, a person without materials will definitely be the worst one.
"I was careless..." Kyle sighed.
I'm used to taking advantage of Connor's materials, but I didn't expect Snape to play dirty.
"Didn't you get the materials? Then I'll give this to you."
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out.
In Kyle's eyes, this arm still faintly exuded a hazy holy light called hope.
Mikkel put a tray on Kyle's desk.
"You know, my potions always go wrong, and I always take extra just in case."
"Thank you." Kyle said in surprise, "You've been a great help."
"It's nothing." Mikkel pointed to a piece of parchment on the table.
Without Kyle's help, they wouldn't have been able to finish their Potions homework at noon.
This wave is about helping each other.
Snape became unhappy when he saw Kyle solved his material problem.
He stared at Kyle and was about to say something when Kanna suddenly swapped the positions of her bag and tray.
"This leech juice looks good. Can I use this?"
"Of course." Kyle nodded.
It was visible to the naked eye that several blue veins appeared on Snape's forehead.
Leech juice in a tray is better?
What a joke!
Those things in the cabinet were made by the students who were in solitary confinement. How could they compare to the materials he prepared himself!
But seeing that Kyle and Kanna had already started cutting the daisy roots, he could only take a few deep breaths and forcefully suppress the anger in his heart.
Snape was in a bad mood...he had to pass it on.
and so……
"The daisy root is too big, two points deducted from Hufflepuff..."
"The skin of the shrink-fig is too thick. Three points deducted from Hufflepuff."
……
After turning around, Snape, still angry, walked up to a Slytherin student.
The student raised his neck proudly, waiting to receive praise from his dean.
His potion was a light green color, which was very close to the standard answer.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely get extra points.
But the next second...
"A little leech juice is enough. Why did you put so much? Two points deducted from Slytherin!"
Yes... Snape, who was still angry, even started deducting points from his own house!
Now, everyone was in a bad mood.
……
"What happened to Professor Snape?"
During dinner, Kyle heard some students discussing the matter.
"He actually deducted twenty points from Slytherin... twenty points!"
Others didn't believe it at first.
After all, everyone in Hogwarts knew that the Potions Professor favored Slytherin the most. Even if someone among them blew up the crucible, they would only be put in detention, but would not be deducted points.
"That joke is not funny at all."
At the Gryffindor table, Fred glanced at Lee Jordan, who was dancing beside him, and said mockingly, "Or maybe you haven't woken up yet and heard 'plus points' as minus points."
"I'm not kidding!"
Li Qiaodan said seriously, "This matter has gone viral, don't you know about it?"
"Wait, are you kidding?" George put down the cup in his hand.
"I swear!"
Lee Jordan pointed in the direction of the Slytherin table, "Or you can walk around there, they're talking about that too."
Fred suddenly became interested and asked, "When did it happen?"
Harry and Ron also put down their knives and forks and listened attentively.
The fact that Snape would deduct points from Slytherin was as unbelievable as Hermione forgetting the password to the common room.
"It was in the Potions class this afternoon." Lee Jordan said excitedly, "I happened to pass by when a few third-year Slytherins were talking, and I overheard them talking about this."
