Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 234: Potion mixed with water

All four of them were silent. They all knew that the words of the potion master Dagworth were actually trying to scare them. Maybe such a case did happen, but it was definitely one of the few cases.

Albert, who personally prepared the raw materials for Bafet Brain Refreshing Potion, of course knew how many Galleons it would cost to gather those raw materials. To configure one Bafee Brain Refreshing Potion, at least 15 Galleons were needed, and the price of the expensive raw materials was simply It makes people feel suffocated, and one failure is enough to make people feel heartbroken, not to mention the difficulty of brewing this potion, a little flaw will make the potion unusable.

Even a top potion master will not drink it directly after it has been brewed.

"The Baffe wizard in France just drank the potion he made, and there were some problems in his brain." Dagworth raised his finger and pointed to his head, "Later, when he chanted the spell, Says the 'f' to an 's' and finds himself lying on the floor with a bison on his chest."

"I know, Professor Flitwick mentioned it."

"The wizard that Professor Flitwick spoke of was called Balufeo, and I think the name is probably due to a translation problem," Albert explained.

The letters of the two names are actually similar, and it's not surprising that there are problems with translation, especially for guys who are not very proficient in French.

"In fact, the guy originally put together some raw materials that can stimulate the brain, trying to create a potion that can make people smarter. Of course, after a long period of improvement, the Bafei brain-enhancing agent is completed. However, there is still a high probability of failure of the modulation. It is easy to make the user too excited, which directly leads to brain damage, so this kind of potion will be banned by the Ministry of Magic, lest the inferior products flow out and poison people." Dagworth continued. Will it be the history of this potion.

"So, it really makes people smarter?" All three were a little excited.

"Yes, the real Buffy brain booster does make people smarter." Dagworth said coldly, pouring cold water on them, "but it takes a lot of risk, and The extent of improvement is limited."

"Later, a potionist named Astor Belkanter tried to make this potion for himself because his son Albert failed to pass the exam in spells, transfiguration and herbal medicine classes. wiser son.”

"They made it?"

"It succeeded, but it also failed." Dagworth said meaningfully, "At that time, there was a potionist named Billius Finbock with him who did make a poor quality medicine. Buffy Brain Refresher."

"His son became an idiot?" Everyone seemed to have guessed the fate of the hapless one.

"No." Dagworth shook his head and said, "They diluted this potion and gave him Albert to drink. As can be imagined, Albert did not pass all the tests successfully."

"This speechless is a huge business opportunity, and they began to sell the Buffy Brain Refresher on the black market." The Potions Master continued, "Later, there was a time when the hapless Billius Finbock was harvesting When the rune was laying its eggs, it was bitten by a rune, and at last the rune ran away."

"The Ministry of Magic rescued Billius Finbock and struggled to find the snake, but the Ministry of Magic also prosecuted two hapless runes for their illegal captivity and The Buffy brain-boosting agent was taken away by the Ministry of Magic, and this matter came to light.

Since that incident, the Bafei brain-refreshing agents on the black market are all diluted products, which can greatly reduce the damage of the potion to the human brain, and use the base as a short-term stimulant to enhance the brain's memory.

Of course, drinking too much of the inferior Buffalo brain medicine is still harmful to the human brain, especially the effect of the medicine made by some idiots is even more obvious.

As expected of Dagworth, what happened was really shocking. I didn't expect that there was such a secret in it.

"Now, do you know why I want to get back that gold card?" Dagworth glanced at Albert and said lightly.

Without that gold card, Dagworth's use of some precious materials to make potions in the future may be considered illegal by the Ministry of Magic, at least the way to obtain the raw materials is illegal.

Albert nodded and said nothing, he knew what Dagworth meant.

"I'll explain it to you later when I'm making the Buffy Brain Refresher, but don't talk or ask questions. If you can't do it, you'd better leave now, you can go to Three Brooms Drink some butterbeer, or go buy some candy from Honey Duke." Dagworth looked at Fred and said, "I suggest you choose the former."

The three of them could hear Dagworth's drive away, so they said goodbye and left.

"It's a bit rude of you to do this." Albert frowned slightly as he looked at the backs of Fred and the others leaving.

"I don't think they can hold out until then. Rather than stay and suffer, it's better to go out and play." Dagworth explained lightly: "Also, their potion level is not enough, and it's probably a waste of time to stay. would get in our way."

"You're right, maybe you can remind me of that." Albert didn't mean to blame Dagworth, because he was right.

"When I'm making the Buffy Brain Refresher later, I'll talk while I'm doing it. You can ask again when you want, don't disturb me." Dagworth said, taking out the needed herbs from a herb box. , and quickly entered the state of brewing potion.

Albert also quickly put himself into a state.

As Dagworth said, Buffy Brain Refresher is actually a combination of ingredients that can excite the brain ~IndoMTL.com~ and improve memory.

“And the jumping toadstool itself is poisonous. When making the Bafei brain-enhancing agent, it must be processed by alchemy before it can be used.” Dagworth explained, while processing the red-headed jumping toadstool with white spots. The thing itself is soaked in some oil-like liquid, which is the best way to store jumping toadstools.

In fact, Albert's jumping toadstools are also stored in this way, and a lot of olive oil is wasted as a result.

……

The frog's brain has to be fresh, but one problem is that it has to be dissected fast enough, usually with an assistant.

However, Dagworth didn't need an assistant, he just spent a minute dissecting three frogs and taking out their brains and throwing them into a dry pot.

Dagworth would only explain in important places during the process of brewing the potion, and sometimes it was more to say to himself than to explain, such as when to add dragon claw powder, how to Add rune eggs in time, and how to judge whether the medicine is formed.

The whole process only lasted for an hour, and the final prepared Bafei brain-enhancing agent showed a green concentrate. Dagworth held the test tube in front of him, and after observing confidently, he said: "It has been completed, but for the sake of For safety, you still need to simply dilute it, and the ratio is five to one!"

He put some Buffy Brain Refresher into some test tubes and diluted it with a lot of water, and the color in it immediately turned a little darker. "

Dagworth took a sip, as if savoring its quality, and nodded after a moment: "That's it. However, I still don't recommend that you use undiluted Buffalo. agent.”
