Mysterious Journey

Chapter 611 The Most Promising Generation

Compared to other subjects, Potions was not considered magic in the traditional sense by most young wizards. And Severus Snape, the professor of this course, was also Hogwarts' youngest professor—apart from the first-year wizards, other students felt more "awe" than "respect" for Snape.

Although they hadn't seen what the fourth task was like, if it was set up by Professor Snape, then unless he quit being the Potions professor, based on the knowledge of potions, it shouldn't be too difficult to pass.

Whether it's potion brewing or answering questionnaires... in short, it wouldn't be as dangerous as the previous tasks.

According to the information that the young wizards had gathered, Professor Snape was indeed not very noticeable during his student days. He hadn't been a prefect, wasn't good at Quidditch, and even his Potions grades didn't seem to be the best in his year. Speaking of which, his resume seemed to be more ordinary than those of the other three heads of house.

"Weasley!"

Faced with Fred Weasley's provocation, Marcus Flint's lips twitched, and he immediately prepared to retort.

However, after carefully thinking in his mind for a while, Marcus Flint really couldn't find any information to refute. In the end, he could only hatefully curl his lips and continue to say somewhat sullenly.

"Humph! That only shows that the professor is more low-key, maybe his hidden strength is terribly strong—besides, our Head of House is the youngest Head of House in Hogwarts' history, Professor Dumbledore wouldn't be wrong about him."

It wasn't until this time that the Slytherin students suddenly realized that their young Head of House seemed to be hiding many secrets. Throughout Hogwarts, people's understanding of Professor Snape's past was almost blank. After a little confusion, the young wizards didn't delve too deeply into this issue for the time being.

After all, their purpose today was to complete the strategy together, not to retrieve the green years of the professors.

"Regarding the fourth task and the content that follows, it all comes from the team of first-year freshmen. Combined with the situation of each previous task, it can only be used as the most basic reference—however, judging from the information from the freshmen, this task is not too difficult."

"After passing Professor McGonagall's chessboard array, you can pass through the stone path and enter the Potions task set up by Professor Snape. There are not many magic traps and terrible mechanisms in the room, only a table with potion reagents and a smooth silver plate that can summon specific potions."

"According to the information from the Draco, Harry, and Ron group, as well as the Hermione, Hannah, and Luna group, the assessment content of this task is relatively random. All the potions that appear on the table are likely to cause poisoning, disease, and other physiological reactions."

"The way to pass is to drink these potions and summon the corresponding antidote that you brewed in class through the silver plate for self-rescue. Teammates can share potions—success will allow you to pass to the next task."

"Wait, I have a question."

Hearing this, George Weasley raised his hand and interrupted somewhat abruptly.

"...If the work in class doesn't achieve the detoxification effect? Or if the work in class wasn't successful?"

"Unfortunately, then either you have to use magic for self-treatment, or rely on your physical fitness to resist, or be judged as a failure, and then be given the antidote by Aileen, treated, or directly sent to the school infirmary."

Marcus Flint spread his hands, glanced at the lions whose faces began to look ugly with ill intentions, grinned, and continued to say to himself, his voice just enough to spread throughout the hall.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot, Gryffindor's performance in Potions class has not been very good in recent years... It seems that if you want to pass, you may need to seek help from a house that is good at Potions."

"You don't have to worry about that, we will find a way to deal with it ourselves."

George Weasley shook his head noncommittally, glanced at Miss Peach beside him, and replied rather triumphantly—since the defeat in the vegetable garden war in the first half of the year, after being forced to sign a reparations agreement and becoming a forced laborer in the orchard, the relationship between the Gryffindor students and the Ravenclaw girls has progressed rapidly. It's too easy to find a scholar to team up with.
