Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 90: Garlic
Since Albert showed his talent in Potions, Snape hasn't bothered him again, and it should be said that he has completely ignored him.
In the morning, after the potions class, Albert and George took advantage of the spare time before lunch to go to the library, returned the book "Simple Alchemy", and then borrowed another book of alchemy. aspects of books.
The name of the book is Extraction, Separation and Potions.
Albert originally thought that this book was related to potions, but after reading the contents of the book, he was surprised to find that it was a book on alchemy, and the content was to introduce the relationship between alchemy and potions.
Although potions are not the same as alchemy, the two still have a great relationship, and there is a partial intersection between the two.
Some potion raw materials need to be processed by alchemy, and even some potions are obtained directly by alchemy.
At present, the most representative is Baixian essence.
Baixian essence is a kind of thing obtained directly by extracting the herb called Baixian, which is an effective medicine for wound healing. Using Bai Xian essence to treat wounds is far more effective than using Bai Xian directly, or using it to prepare magical medicine.
In the book "Extraction, Separation and Potions", there is a detailed record of how to extract the white freshness, which reminds him of making a garlic cross in "Simple Alchemy"...Ahem, Albert hurriedly shook it off The weird thoughts in my head put my thoughts back to the description of the extraction of Baixian essence in the book.
Fred and Lee Jordan, who went to the kitchen, returned empty-handed. They sat listlessly on the chairs beside them, and spread their hands helplessly towards George.
As Albert expected, the two got nothing, and the house-elves wouldn't allow them to take the garlic from the kitchen.
This means that the twins' plan has been declared bankrupt before it can be implemented.
"I already reminded you." Albert looked at the discouraged three and suggested: "Maybe, you can send a letter to your family and ask them to send you some garlic.
"Are you crazy?" Fred looked at Albert in disbelief, his voice raised a little, "If we dare to do this, we will be beaten with a broom when we go back from the Christmas holidays. ."
"No, I think your mother may let you stop going to school and keep growing garlic at home." George couldn't help but complain.
Getting garlic from home simply doesn't work, not even for Defence Against the Dark Arts research.
"Do you have any good ideas?" The three of them looked at Albert in unison, with hope flashing in their eyes, as if that was their only hope.
"Give it up!" Albert spread his hands, "Of course, if you really don't want to give up, I suggest you go to Diagon Alley to mail order some garlic."
The three of them immediately wilted when they heard the words. If they have Galleon, do they still need to worry about this?
"So, let's give up." Albert flipped through the books in his hand and said casually, "Whether it's magic potion or alchemy, it's all money-burning stuff."
"What happened to the three of them?" Shanna asked, glancing at the listless three.
"It's nothing, it's just a little depressing, don't pay attention to them for the time being." Albert said.
"Ignore us unless you can get us the garlic." George waved to Shanna.
Shanna looked puzzled, so she ignored the twins, but chatted with Albert about the homework in Potions class today, asked him when he was free, and went to the library to finish the article about Aconite thesis.
The difficulty of most of the papers lies in finding information, and it is quicker to find more people together. As for how to piece together the found information into a paper, it depends on their writing skills.
Albert pulled out the worksheet from his schoolbag, and after setting an appointment with Shanna, he focused his attention on the book again.
To be honest, Albert hoped to find out how to make development potions and photos of the wizarding world from the book "Extraction, Separation and Potions".
From Albert's point of view, magical photos are undoubtedly related to alchemy, and the good news is that he actually found something about this in the catalog.
Just as Albert was looking for the formula and correct use of the developing potion, he suddenly found that a new panel task was activated.
A moving magic photo.
You've discovered the secret of magic photos moving and are trying to learn how to make magic photos, so why not give it a try?
Create three magic photos.
Reward: 500 experience, get Skill Alchemy.
Until the end of the lunch, Albert was thinking about whether he should take the time to make a developing potion and try it. The task does not give much experience, but it is not bad if he can directly acquire the alchemy skills. After all, the task of the magic lamp requires Bright Alchemy skills.
Just after passing the hallway, Albert suddenly heard someone calling him next to him. He turned his head to look at the three and asked, "What's the matter? I didn't hear it clearly."
"We're going to try our luck in the next village." The three seem to have reached a conclusion, that is, go to Hogsmeade to see if they can get some garlic, and then get it back and grow it by themselves.
"Oh, good luck then." Albert patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Hagrid must have it, if you want..."
"What?" a sudden voice asked.
"Nothing?" Fred couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. They were not familiar with Hagrid, so they didn't plan to disturb each other in this regard~IndoMTL.com~ Even if he said earlier that he was asking Hagrid to borrow vegetable garden seeds to grow garlic, he would still just kidding. Hogwarts is so big, it is not difficult to find a place to secretly dig some soil and grow some garlic.
"Garlic, we want to study whether garlic can resist dark creatures." Albert asked, "Is something wrong? It's rare that you will enter the castle."
"I have something to ask Dumbledore." Hagrid looked at the group suspiciously, walked towards the headmaster's office, turned around and said, "If you need garlic, I can provide you with one. "
The three of them looked at Hagrid's leaving back and looked at each other, but they didn't expect that they were still racking their brains, thinking about how to get the garlic.
Albert just said a word and helped them get it done.
"Isn't this not a good idea," said George.
"Hagrid often cooks by himself, and he has a vegetable garden, so he is definitely not short of garlic." Albert glanced at the embarrassed three people and said, "Help me think about what Christmas present to give him this Christmas. That's it!"
Hmmmm!
Several people nodded, indicating that Christmas would help with ideas.
"However, I need to remind you that that garlic is not enough." Albert added. "You take the time to grow your own, it's easy to grow garlic anyway."
Originally, this was their plan. As for where to plant it, the three of them had actually made up their minds. It wasn't Hagrid's vegetable garden, but at the edge of the forbidden forest farther from Hagrid's hut.
After listening to the plan of the three, Albert fell silent.
Actually, to grow some garlic, just get a vase and grow it yourself. As for fertilizer, isn't the ashes in the fireplace the best fertilizer?
However, Albert did not intend to remind the three of them, so let them toss about it slowly!
