Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Chapter 525: Neville Sues

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Also a master of Potions, everyone's preparation habits and research directions are always different. For example, Snape was better at concocting potions with more elaborate and complex steps. The more highly skilled the preparation process was, the more it could reflect the difference between him and ordinary potions.

As for Slughorn, the veteran potion master, his strengths obviously lie in his extensive research on various potion theories, as well as his solid techniques gained through a lot of preparation experience.

Just looking at the various theories and practical skills he would mention from time to time during the lectures, as well as the ease and casualness at hand, one can know that his knowledge reserve of potions is extremely amazing.

...The last point, yes! Professor McLean also mentioned it just now--Ariott blade, I believe everyone has been exposed to it in the past courses. So, can anyone help me recall this material ?

Slughorn first explained the specific effects of the vitality tonic, and by the way, named the properties of some of the main ingredients appropriately. After that, he started the first question of the class.

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

In fact, she had almost given up the option of raising her hand to speak in Snape's class, after all, no matter how much she raised her hand, Snape would ignore it, and there would be no benefit at all except shoulder soreness. Even being as positive about her studies as Hermione was, in the years and years of Potions class life, dispelled the urgent need to answer questions to earn points for the house.

But now, she could raise her hand in Potions class again! It's almost as refreshing as drinking a warm butterbeer in Hogsmeade.

Oh, Miss Granger? Slughorn smiled and nodded at her.

The leaves of the arioot tree, commonly known as the hyena tree, are capable of inducing hysteria and uncontrollable laughter in living beings. Therefore, chopped ariotte leaves are often used to make 'hysteria Laughter potion' is one of its main raw materials. And... the molasses produced by the heartworm can eliminate the symptoms caused by this leaf, and only a small spoon is needed.

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

After saying this little reminder, he continued following the content just now.

Yes, everyone heard it - Ariot leaves can make people laugh, so it is the basis for the invention of the Laughter Potion. But in fact, the vitality tonic we are going to learn now also needs it, because Its laugh-making effect is actually based on the extra dynamism it provides.

Slughorn paused, then chuckled and said, Professor Severus Snape, who taught potions to you in the past, is also a well-known master of potions in the magic world. It must have been specifically mentioned in the course - during the preparation, the finely chopped ariotte blades should not be stirred too vigorously or you'll destroy the laugh-inducing ingredients!

But this time, we are going to destroy it, because we certainly don't want to have to smile at others while taking the Vitality Tonic, do we? Regarding this point, please combine the two potions Keep the differences in your head—I mean, if you want to score more points on your exams.

He shrugged his shoulders to show that he was thinking of everyone.

“So, while the preparation of the Vitality Tonic is relatively simple, the hardest part is the stirring when adding the finely chopped Ariotte leaves. Vigorous stirring destroys the laugh-making ingredient and also It produces a relatively large magic vortex reaction. Although Professor McLean has prepared white stamens for you, I hope that you still need to be more careful during the preparation process...

What Slughorn called the magic vortex reaction\

,"To put it simply, because the stirring speed is too fast, the magic liquid in the crucible forms a magic vortex. If this relatively common reaction in potion preparation takes place too violently, the sad frying pan phenomenon can occur.

From the death of Luna's mother, it can be seen that the process of studying magic spells sometimes implies fatal dangers. Likewise, some very dire situations can occur during the preparation of potions.

Among the many accidents that are difficult to prevent, the frying pan can be said to be a baptism that every potion maker will experience. You wouldn't even be ashamed to tell anyone you could make potions if you hadn't fried a pot before.

However, even if such an accident will follow your potion-making career for a lifetime, it is always a bad accident that if it can't happen, it's better not to happen. Because depending on the potion you make, its danger cannot be generalized.

The world-renowned Magic School Potions Tournament was permanently suspended because of a frying pan in a certain final. According to the records in the history of magic, the scene of the competition that time was extremely tragic, and even left a poisonous swamp in Northern Europe that cannot be completely eliminated.

Okay, then, next, it's time for Professor McLean to make his debut! Slughorn said happily, Today, he and I will show you a collaborative preparation technique!

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

Everyone, please don't worry too much, because this potion preparation technique has not been officially included in your textbooks, so you can't find it in the list of potion skills. Slughorn explained specifically, However, everyone You must still remember that your Professor McLean once won two annual silver awards from the Master of Practical Potions, an academic journal of potions, and one of the research papers was about this very ingenious potion Preparation skills!

As he was talking, he suddenly leaned forward and whispered pretendingly: ...I think, since you are students of Hogwarts, why not be one step ahead of students from other schools?

Since ancient times, potion preparation has usually been a one-man job. Because the two-person cooperation will greatly reduce the difficulty of preparation in theory, 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 distraction can often be fatal to a pot of potions.

However, in the process of personal preparation of Maca, he discovered many preparation skills that can be split, especially those complex skills that require multi-tasking, which he split into simpler two-person cooperation skills.

Undoubtedly, this set of standardized preparation techniques due to splitting and summarizing will definitely make the preparation of certain pharmaceuticals easier and more conducive to the development of popularization.

Actually, I didn't expect that Professor Dumbledore would submit the summary paper that I handed over to Professor Snape at that time. Maca spread his hands and said with a smile, If you have any special ideas 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 speaking, he stood face to face with the old man Slughorn on both sides of the cauldron in front of the classroom, and then Slughorn stretched out his wand and tapped lightly 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 the not-so-difficult potion of vitality tonic, and they know every step and every detail clearly. According to the technical split summarized by Maca, the movements of the two people did not lag at all, and their respective division of labor became quite clear and smooth.

Slughorn's evaluation of Maca's technique just now is very accurate-this is a clever potion preparation technique, because it is not advanced, and even students can easily understand most of it. trick.

This is sometimes the case in academics, whether it is Muggle science or wizarding magic, so-called progress often begins with a humble 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 went in a clear manner, and the whole first step - preparing the raw material base solution was easily completed. In the case of independent preparation, it can't be so brisk. After all, this is a potion 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 skills just shown for everyone, a voice made him stop the words that had already reached his lips.

Mr. Longbottom? The old man asked curiously, What's the matter?

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

...Pan, Pansy Parkinson...Miss, give me a ball of paper... Neville stammered with his not-so-clean lips.

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

Passing some small notes in class is a very common thing. This old man is obviously not a strict professor, so he doesn't care much about these small gestures.

I haven't... haven't looked at it. Neville spread his palms, and at the same time moved to the side, as if he wanted to get further away from the little snakes.

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