Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 525: Neville complains

A genius remembers this site address in one second: (Top Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Also a master of potions, everyone's preparation habits and research directions are always different. For example, Snape is better at preparing potions with more sophisticated steps. The more highly skilled the preparation process, the more it can reflect his level of difference from ordinary potionists.

As for Slughorn, the veteran potion master, his strengths obviously lie in his extensive research on various potion theories and the solid technology gained through extensive preparation experience.

Just looking at the various theories and practical skills that he would mention from time to time during the lecture, as well as the ease and ease, you can know that his potion knowledge reserve is extremely amazing.

"...The last point, yes! Professor McLean also mentioned it just now-Arriot Blade, I believe you have already been exposed to it in the past courses. So, who can help me recall Is this material?"

Slaghorn first explained the specific effects of the vitality tonic, and by the way, also named the characteristics of some of the main raw materials at the right place. After that, he started the first question in this class.

Needless to say, our Miss Granger has already raised her hand high.

In fact, in Snape's class, she almost gave up the option of raising her hand to speak. After all, no matter how she raised her hand, Snape would ignore it. There was no benefit at all except for the sore shoulders. Even if she is as active as Hermione in learning, she has dispelled the urgent need to answer questions to add points to the academy in her potions class life year after year.

But now, she can raise her hand in the potions class again! This is more refreshing than drinking a warm butterbeer in Hogsmeade Village.

"Oh, Miss Granger?" Slughorn nodded at her with a smile.

"The Arriot tree, often referred to as the hyena tree, the leaves of this tree can cause biological hysteria and irrepressible laughter. Therefore, chopped Arriot leaves are often used One of its main raw materials is the production of the "Big Laughter Potion". And... the molasses produced by the sad worm can eliminate the symptoms caused by this leaf, and only a small spoonful is needed."

"Well, very correct," Slughorn said with satisfaction, "I can't even say better. But as an endangered species today, the molasses it produces has become quite expensive. , I hope everyone can pay attention to this."

After this little reminder, he then proceeded along with the content just now.

"Yes, everyone has heard that-Arriot leaves can make people laugh, so it is the basis for the invention of the laugh potion. But in fact, the vitality tonic we are learning now also needs It, because its effect of making people laugh is actually based on the extra vitality it can provide."

Slughorn paused and chuckled: "Professor Severus Snape, who taught you potions in the past, is also a very famous potion master in the magic world. I think he is talking about It must have been specifically mentioned in the course of Laughter Potion-during the preparation process, the chopped Arriot blade should not be too vigorous during the stirring process, otherwise it will destroy the ingredients that can cause laughter!"

"But this time, we just want to destroy it, because we definitely don’t want to smile at others while taking vitality tonics, don’t we? Regarding this, please The difference between the medicines is firmly in mind-I mean, if you want to get more points in the exam."

He shrugged to show that he was thinking about everyone.

"So, the preparation process of the vitality tonic is relatively simple, and one of the most difficult points is the stirring when the chopped Arriot leaves are placed. Vigorous stirring will destroy the ingredients that make people laugh. At the same time, there will be a relatively large magical vortex reaction. Although Professor McLean prepared white flowers for you, I hope you still need to be more careful in the process of preparing..."

The "magic vortex reaction" referred to by Slughorn is simply because the stirring speed is too fast, causing the magical liquid in the cauldron to form a magic vortex. If this common reaction in the potion preparation process is too intense, a sad frying pan phenomenon will appear.

It can be seen from the death of Luna's mother that the process of studying the spell sometimes implies a fatal danger. In the same way, some terrible situations can happen during the process of preparing potions.

Among the many accidents that are difficult to prevent, the fryer can be said to be a baptism that every potion maker will experience. If you haven't fried a pot, you would even be ashamed to tell others that you can make potions.

However, even if this type of accident will follow your potion preparation career for a lifetime, it is always a bad accident that can't happen, it's best not to happen. Because depending on the medicine you make, its dangers cannot be generalized.

The world-renowned Magic School Potions Championship was permanently suspended because of a frying pan in a certain final. According to records in the history of magic, the match scene was exceptionally tragic, and even left a swamp of poisonous rot that could not be completely eliminated in Northern Europe.

"Okay, then, next, it is time for the Professor McLean you are looking forward to come on stage!" Slughorn said happily, "Today, he and I will show everyone a collaborative preparation technique. !"

The name of this technology sounds a bit unfamiliar. Even Hermione, who has read a large number of books of various colors, shook her head under the gaze of several Gryffindors, indicating that she was not clear.

"Please don't worry too much, because this potion preparation technique has not been officially entered in your textbooks, so it is not found in the potion technique list." Slughorn explained specifically, " However, everyone must still remember that your Professor McLean has won two annual silver awards in the academic journal of "Practical Potions Master", and one of the research papers described this very cleverly. Skills for preparing potions!"

As he was talking, he suddenly leaned forward and pretended to whisper: "...I think that since everyone is Hogwarts students, why not be one step ahead of students in other schools?"

Since ancient times, potion preparation has usually been a one-person job. Because in theory, two-person cooperation will greatly reduce the difficulty of preparation, but when you actually try it, you will find that there will be more interference between each other. Potions is a very delicate subject, so this interference is often fatal to a pot of potions.

However, Maca, however, discovered a lot of preparation techniques that can be split in the process of personal preparation, especially those complex techniques that require multi-tasking, and he dismantled them into simpler two-person cooperation techniques.

Undoubtedly, this set of preparation techniques standardized by disassembly and summary will surely make the preparation of certain medicines easier, and it is also more conducive to the development of popularization.

"Actually, I didn’t expect that the summary paper handed over to Professor Snape would be used by Professor Dumbledore for submission," Maca said with a smile, "If you have anything special in the future, Remember to write it down and show it to your Professor Slughorn. Maybe you can win an award by the way?"

After finishing speaking, he and the old Slughorn stood face to face on both sides of the cauldron in front of the classroom, and then Slughorn stretched out his wand and tapped on the edge of the cauldron. On the other side, Maca reached out and picked up the silver knife on the round table, and quickly and neatly cut a crumpled brown dried fruit.

Both of them are very familiar with vitality tonics, which are not difficult medicines. Every step and every detail is clear. According to the technical separation summarized by Maca, there is no lag in the movements of the two people, and their division of labor has become quite clear and smooth.

Slughorn’s evaluation of Maca’s skill just now is very accurate-this is an ingenious potion preparation skill, because it is not advanced, even students can easily Understand most of the tricks ~IndoMTL.com~Sometimes academically, whether it's Muggle science or wizard's magic, the so-called progress often starts with an inconspicuous summary. But the establishment of another type of standardization will open up a brand new world for the entire discipline.

Everyone watched Maca and Slughorn cooperate tacitly, you came and I was clearly organized, and it was easy to complete the entire first step-preparing the raw material base fluid. In the case of independent preparation, it can't be so brisk, no matter what, this is a medicine that can only be learned in the fifth grade.

"Professor!"

When Slughorn put down the glass rod in his hand and was about to analyze some of the techniques just shown for everyone, a voice made him accept the words that had reached his mouth.

"Mr. Longbottom?" the old man curiously asked, "what's the matter?"

Neville, who had been very introverted since he was a child, suddenly raised his hand to speak. This is big news. Now most of the students turned their heads and looked at his table, so that Harry and Ron were at the same table with him. And Hermione was also surrounded by surprised eyes.

"...Pan, Pansy Parkinson...Miss, give me a ball of paper..." Neville squatted with his unclean lips.

"What's on it?" Slughorn raised his eyebrows, a trace of doubt flashed across his chubby old face.

It's quite common to pass some small notes in class. The old man is obviously not a strict professor, and he doesn't care much about these small actions.

"I haven't...I haven't looked." Neville spreads out his palms, and at the same time moves it aside, as if he wants to get further away from the little snakes.

Maca glanced casually at Parkinson of Slytherin College, only to find that her face was a little pale. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
