In Potion Class, Karl was brewing the Boil-Cure Potion from the first lesson by himself.
Nina watched carefully from the side, reminding him softly from time to time to prevent him from making mistakes.
If it were before, Snape would definitely come over to mock him a few times, but now he just acted as if he didn't see it.
The content of the first academic year was all learned before Easter, and everyone is now reviewing.
Because someone's practical level was a bit poor, Nina could only give him extra practice like this.
Karl looked relaxed, his gaze as sharp as a dragon's.
Then, after a flurry of intense movements, the result was a Potion that could poison a rat.
Looking at the bubbling, sickly green liquid in front of him, Karl couldn't help but sigh.
What was going on? The process was clearly all correct, but he just couldn't get the right answer.
"Don't be discouraged, Karl, at least—. Hmm—this Potion looks quite powerful."
Nina tried hard to comfort Karl, but telling a lie with her eyes open was indeed a bit difficult.
"Fine, poison actually counts as a Potion, I'm just a bit lopsided in my subjects."
Snape, watching from afar: —.
When class ended, Karl stayed until the last, and only stood up when he saw that all the Little wizards had left.
After thinking about it, he summoned Fire Treasure and placed it on top of his head.
"Professor Snape!"
"Chi~"
Snape looked at Karl and Fire Treasure greeting him, and once again revealed an intimidating smile.
"Mr. Orolin, and..."
"It's called Fire Treasure."
"Iya~" Fire Treasure waved happily.
Snape nodded, indicating he knew, "Mr. Orolin and Fire Treasure, what do you want with me?"
Karl looked like an honest child, "Professor, what do you think of my Potion brewing level?"
Snape: (._.)
Karl: (° - °)
After an awkward silence, Snape cleared his throat, "Ahem—. There is still quite a lot of room for improvement."
"Hi! Actually, I know my talent in Potion is not good, so I want to prove myself to you in other aspects."
"How to prove it?"
"How about you teach me a few Charms? I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore that besides being a Potion master, you are also an expert in Charms and dueling."
Snape pondered slightly, "Sure, but I must warn you, the Charms I invented are all dangerous Dark Arts."
Karl snapped his fingers, and a ball of black Fiendfyre appeared in his palm.
"You've already learned the Fiendfyre Curse? Plus the Gubraithian Fire, it seems your talent in Charms is indeed quite good."
Although on Easter day, Snape had drunk Polyjuice Potion and disguised himself as Dumbledore to leave Hogwarts, he had already heard of Karl's feat of burning the Acromantula.
"Follow me."
Snape led Karl to the Slytherin Dean's office and quickly took out a notebook from the bookshelf.
"You can choose the Charms you want to learn, copy them down and take them away."
"Okay, Professor!"
Karl took the notebook, sat down quickly, took out paper and pen, and started copying.
Sectumsempra, Langlock, Levicorpus—among them, the Muffliato Charm was very interesting; it could make a buzzing sound in the ears of people around, preventing them from hearing the caster speak.
He felt that if modified, it could also prevent himself from hearing the surrounding sounds.
This way, Karl wouldn't have to endure the torture of singing the school anthem at the opening feasts in the coming years.
The weather was getting hotter because it was already June, and the final exams had begun.
When all the Little wizards were having breakfast in the Great Hall, Karl presented a battle song for everyone:
"I send you away, outside the exam hall, your brain is blank! As soon as the paper opens, you rely on guessing, spending most of the time dazed!"
"I send you away, outside the exam hall, the Professor is waiting! Once a zero comes, life and death are hard to guess, find time to buy a coffin!"
Because it was sung in Chinese, the Little wizards had no idea of Karl's malicious intentions; instead, they cheered, applauded, and even wanted him to sing another one.
