Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 61: Potion for scabies

The potions class continues, and Snape is instructing everyone to concoct a potion that can treat scabies. After explaining how to prepare the scabies potion, he divided the class into two groups and asked everyone to prepare the scabies potion.

Naturally, Albert and Lee Jordan were in a group. Who made them sit at the same table?

"Let's read the steps several times first, and then start to prepare the scabies potion to avoid mistakes in the preparation steps." Albert reminded, "As long as the steps are correct, the finished product will not be too different from the book."

The most fearful thing about boiling pharmaceuticals is to add herbs and stir randomly.

Albert opened the "Magic Potion and Potion", remembering the configuration of the potion for treating scabies, completely ignoring Snape who was dragging his black cloak behind him.

After Snape walked away, Albert took the medicine he needed from his medicine chest: a few venomous snake teeth, a Pongo onion, some bundled dried nettles, a jar of horned snot Worms, a few porcupine quills.

"You're in charge of cooking the horned slugs, which take at least 33 to 45 minutes." Albert handed Lee Jordan his tweezers.

"Okay, leave it to me." Li Jordan had no objection. He took the tweezers that Albert handed him over, and took out the disgusting horned slug from the jar.

Then again, it costs 1 Galleon to sell a can at the drugstore.

"Remember to clean it first. You don't need to put a lot of water in the crucible. Be careful to boil and overflow." Albert added.

He then began to grind the serpent's fangs with a mortar, and the book called for it to be ground into a fine powder, a laborious job.

Compared to Albert's hands-on ability, other students are a bit scumbag.

Of course, this may be related to Albert's upgrade of his potion manufacturing to level 1.

Snape was still wandering around the classroom, watching students weigh dried nettles and grind serpent teeth. Almost all of the students were criticized, except for Albert and George.

After all, Snape couldn't find anything to criticize, except that they were a little slower than the others.

"Next, weigh the dried nettles." Albert looked at Snape's distant back and reminded in a low voice, "Pay attention to the weight, don't weigh it wrong."

"Ok." Lee Jordan was in a good mood, and Snape didn't come to trouble them.

Albert laboriously sliced ​​the Pungo onion into thin slices.

Half an hour later, Li Jordan reminded: "The horned slug is boiled."

Albert immediately leaned over and stabbed the horned slug with a glass tube. After confirming that it was completely boiled, he emptied the water in the crucible, leaving behind the boiled horned slug.

After the materials are ready, the next step is to prepare the potion for the treatment of scabies.

First add the Vipertooth powder to the crucible, stir it slowly to thoroughly mix it with the water, and the potion in the crucible will gradually turn dark blue.

"Is it dark blue?" Li Jordan leaned his head over to see the color of the potion in the cauldron.

"It's dark blue." Albert Lily put the thinly sliced ​​Pongo onion into the crucible, and continued to heat it for about ten seconds. As recorded in the book, the potion gradually changed from dark blue to red.

After the color does not change, the next step is to slowly sprinkle in the dried nettles and stir the potion until the color turns pink.

"Continue to add a small spoonful of Frober caterpillar mucus, then continue and stir, and the potion inside turns green." Albert murmured the steps while operating. "Next is to add a tablespoon of stewed slugs and stir until the potion turns blue-green."

After completing the previous step, Albert lifts the cauldron from the fire.

If you don't remove it from the fire, adding the porcupine thorn directly will cause the potion to fail directly, and Snape also specially reminded everyone.

Albert took the two porcupine quills handed by Li Jordan, slowly put them into the crucible, and then began to stir clockwise three times, making the original blue-green potion gradually turn blue.

Finally, wave the wand above the cauldron to finish the potion

"Did it work?" Lee Jordan asked nervously.

"What do you say?" Albert wanted to pick up a spoon, put it in the crystal bottle, and hand it to Li Jordan next to him, so that he could see the color of the potion clearly.

"Success." Li Jordan excitedly looked at the scabies potion in the potion bottle. The color of the potion was basically the same as the description in "Magic Potions and Potions".

"Yeah, it's not easy." Albert put out the fire. Still, he was a little sceptical about the efficacy of the scabies potion.

While bottling the potion and writing his name, Albert suddenly smelled a disgusting smell, turned his head and saw that Fred and George's cauldron was bubbling. The potion in it was a disgusting brown color.

"Wait, take the cauldron off the fire before adding the porcupine quill." Albert stopped George from making a death call that could burn through the cauldron.

Still, that didn't save their scabies potion.

"Weasley, tell me, what are you guys?" Snape walked up behind the twins with a blank expression.

"Potion for scabies," George whispered.

Snape asked nonchalantly, "What color did the scabies potion in the book look like when it was finished?"

"Blue."

"I dare say, drink this pot of your potion and poison yourself before you cure the scabies." Snape waved his wand and swept the potion out of the pot.

"Anderson, where's your potion?"

"Here, sir." Li Jordan hurriedly handed over the blue scabies potion, and smugly shook his index finger at the twins where Snape didn't notice.

"Badly pass." Snape picked up the glass bottle, glanced at the scabies potion inside and said ~IndoMTL.com~ What is barely pass?"

After class, Li Jordan said angrily to the twins, "What's this, in fact, the potions prepared by people to treat scabies are not up to standard? And...why do we have to write a scabies potion after we have successfully prepared a potion for the treatment of scabies. A 2-foot-long paper."

"Be quiet, if you want to get yourself into trouble," Fred said, pointing to Snape as he approached.

"Cough cough." Albert cleared his throat and said to Lee Jordan, "Perhaps, Professor Snape thinks we are talented in potions and wants to nurture us well."

Albert deliberately suppressed his voice so that Snape could hear it.

"You see, no one else is treated like that, is it?"

"I hope your paper on the scabies potion doesn't disappoint me, Mr. Anderson." Snape turned to Lee Jordan and said, "As for you, you don't have to write the paper."

"What does he mean?" Lee Jordan murmured, looking at Snape's receding back.

"What do you mean? Of course you don't deserve special attention." Fred finally couldn't help laughing after Snape left, he raised his hand and patted Albert's shoulder and said, "It seems that , Professor Snape really intends to give you special attention, maybe he wants to invite you to join the Potions Club!"

"Then I can only refuse. After all, I have joined the Transfiguration Club." Albert said solemnly.

The next moment, all three laughed louder.

Of course they could guess that Snape was unhappy with Albert, but there was no good way to deal with him, so they could only resort to this and give Albert what he called special care.

After all, students, not many like to do homework, especially extra homework.
