Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 652: Pharmacy and prizes


"This is Veritaserum, colorless, odorless and tasteless. People who drink it will be able to tell the truth irresistibly. The main material for preparing this medicine is the rhizome sap of the eggplant, which is acidified and treated. ..."

"Oh, Miss Granger, the recipe and preparation process are the content of the follow-up course." Slughorn quickly stopped Hermione from speaking, "Very good, the answer is correct... Then, The next crucible..."

Before he finished speaking, Hermione's arm was raised again.

"Well, please say--"

"This cauldron is a compound soup," Hermione said immediately, "It's more complicated to make and requires...oh, sorry, professor! I mean, it allows the drinker to change his appearance. Including appearance, body shape, skin characteristics, etc., to turn the drinker into another person-the characteristic of the formula is that a little tissue of the subject needs to be changed, and the entire preparation process often takes a month."

"Well, yes yes, excellent answer!" Slughorn couldn't help applauding, "Miss Granger, I even have reason to believe that you might already be able to prepare it yourself. ..."

Of course the old man didn't know. In fact, Hermione had really cooked a pot on her own a long time ago, and she was only in the second grade.

"...In that case, Miss Granger." Slughorn shrugged, "Is there still this pot?"

"Uh...hmm."

When the old man pointed to the third crucible, Hermione hesitated rarely. In that silver crucible was a colorful and looming liquid medicine. At first glance, it seemed to see the calm liquid, but it seemed to be able to directly see the bottom of the crucible.

Of course, it's not that she doesn't know this kind of potion. On the contrary, among the four pots, the potion in this one is the only one that she is familiar with.

"...This is the immortal hidden potion, an invisible potion created by Professor McLean, which allows the drinker to completely hide himself, so that others cannot detect his existence. Its main material is the fairy's wings. "

Speaking of this, Hermione paused for a moment, then continued suspiciously.

"In addition," she said, "this potion was certified by the International Wizards Federation’s Potions Management Office in early 1992, and its name was published in the international academic journal "Practical Potions Master" and received I won the annual silver award that year. But..."

"Aha! Miss Granger, I know you have any questions," Slughorn said with a smile, "Yes, according to the rules of the Wizarding Association, the formula of the Immortal Elixir must be made by Professor McLean It will be announced after death! But—"

As he was talking, he suddenly raised an index finger and said excitedly: "If it is the spread of Professor McLean himself, it is not within its limits. Yes, that is to say, there are only People in our classroom can learn how to prepare this medicine!"

Creating the broom by yourself may enable you to gain more and longer-term benefits, but as far as Maca is concerned, it's just that the mere Xianyin Potion is not so precious anymore. In fact, he already had many original or improved potion formulas in his hands. Although those potions had not been sent to the Wizarding Federation for verification, they had long been sold out in the black market.

At the beginning, Snape mentioned in the first potion class that potions can "gather wealth, increase prestige, brew glory, and prevent death." The first step, Maca, can be said to be achieved initially, then, he will naturally proceed to the second and third steps.

And this and his current state just have a complementary effect, so why not he?

At the moment Maca is undoubtedly a hot spot in Hogwarts, so when Slughorn said this, the students who could learn Immortal Elixir clapped their hands in excitement. . Think about it, too. Most of the students in the potions class are very interested in potions. How lucky is it to learn a potion that no one else can't learn?

"Okay, okay!" Slughorn waved his hand and motioned everyone to calm down, "Miss Granger, your answer to this fairy tale potion is equally accurate. This is really great! ...What about this last one?"

As the old man said, he pointed his finger at the remaining gold crucible. The student who was attracted by the fragrance coming out of the cauldron couldn't help but look at it again, his throat stirred.

"This...well, it's an ecstasy." Hermione couldn't help but swallowed her saliva. Her mouth was a little dry and authentic. "Its liquid medicine presents a unique mother-of-pearl color, and the boiling steam doubles Spiral up... it can make the drinker have a strong sense of obsession or obsession. Similar to the compound decoction, it also needs the tissues of the human body to be effective."

"Correct!" Slughorn nodded, his face showing sincere admiration, "Of course, there is a little...well, Miss Granger, is there anything else you want to add?"

He seemed to be about to say something, but after a little hesitation, he still asked Hermione first.

"Um..." Hermione blinked. "About its smell, everyone smells different, depending on who they like... For example, I smell similar Scrolls, ink, rhizomes of certain plants, and..."

After enumerating several smells, she suddenly pursed her mouth and stopped talking.

"Very good, very good—" Slughorn dismissed the subject quite understandingly, "This is also part of the ecstasy, but... I would like to add one more! The effect of the medicine is not only applicable to humans-not only to living things. Please note that according to the latest research, even if you finally lose a thread from a smelly sock in the medicine, it will also complete the effective steps, and Let the user fall in love with that ridiculous smelly sock!"

"So, how do you put it?" The old man shook his head, "As Miss Granger mentioned just now-the effect of ecstasy is obsession or infatuation, not true love! This This obsession is terrible, it is very dangerous, please don’t underestimate it..."

"...Okay, now," After finishing speaking, Slughorn waved his wand and removed all four crucibles. "The simplest potion in the course begins-to you Say, those are still early! Oh, except for Xianyin Potion..."

"Why?" a Ravenclaw student asked suddenly.

"Because most of its steps are not complicated," Hermione said casually, "except for the first step of the second stage-which involves a very novel theory, which is Professor McLean and Snape The two professors perfected it together."

……

As Hermione said to Harry at the beginning, the course is indeed much more difficult than the previous content. Not to mention the four potions that Slughorn showed to everyone at the beginning, even the "simplest potion" that the old man said made the students feel great resistance to learning.

So in the potions class the next day, the bald old man figured out another good idea to greatly increase everyone's desire to learn.

"...I believe everyone has seen it," Slughorn pointed to the smallest black crucible on the table. "Maybe Miss Granger can also explain this potion for everyone. Name and function?"

As he spoke, the liquid medicine in that little cauldron was pulsing lightly, looking like flowing gold. Although the amount of it is really very small, no matter who looks at it, it will feel extremely satisfying.

"That's a blessing potion!" Hermione didn't even look closely, she just stood by the small round table on her side and answered, "Some people call it a'lucky potion', and the effect is to drink Who brings good luck all day long!"

"It couldn't be more correct!" Slughorn smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, to introduce it only needs to say-'good luck for a whole day'! Just take it and you will find you No matter what you do, everything goes smoothly-sometimes it's like a miracle!"

While speaking, he paused, but then solemnly exhorted: "However, its preparation process is quite complicated, and a little mistake can bring terrible consequences. And, please pay attention-it itself It is toxic, and it is strictly forbidden to overdose; moreover, its good fortune seems to come from'overdraft', when the effect of the medicine is over, bad things will follow..."

"Unlucky thing?"

Harry was obviously interested in this thing, and when he heard Slughorn mention the side effects, he immediately asked.

"Yes~IndoMTL.com~Unlucky thing!" Slughorn repeated, "In fact, our potions have not yet come to an accurate conclusion on this issue. It has Time will begin to appear after the effect of the drug has passed, and sometimes there will be an indefinite period of time... It may even affect the people around the user, maybe! This side effect is actually also your Professor McLean and What I raised during the discussion..."

"Have you taken it?" Harry asked, "I mean, have you experienced the so-called ‘bad luck’?"

"Oh, yes...I tried it twice in total," Slughorn said. "Of course, luck is obviously impossible to actually measure, right? I remember. The second time was when I was fifty-seven years old. On the third day after taking it, I fell and broke my head... I don’t know if that counts?"

"All in all," he waved his hand. "The most important thing you need to remember is'no overdose'. This is absolutely not wrong! As for the occasional moderate dose, it is not a big problem... At least so far, I haven't heard of anyone who has had problems taking Fu Ling Po!"

"So so!" Finally Slughorn touched the little crucible and said with a smile, "A blessing potion will be the first prize for the first person to make a'living **** potion'! "
