Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 390 Snape's Class Test
"We will continue to prepare'enhancers' in today's class. What you have on your desk is the mixture that you prepared yourself in the last class. If you didn't make a mistake in the last class, and you did this class according to the steps, this weekend will be It should be done."
"...Operation methods and steps," Snape knocked on the blackboard with his magic wand backhand, and large blocks of writing and patterns immediately appeared, "...all on the blackboard."
"In addition—"
If in normal times, after this cold narrative, Snape must have lost interest in the students in the class and let them do it themselves.
If it is done right and a qualified potion is refined, it is not surprising; but if it is done wrong and the potion becomes poison, then it is all the student's fault.
In Snape's view, anyone who couldn't even prepare potions step by step according to his blackboard was a stupid fool, and there was no other possible explanation.
But today, his speech did not end there.
"In addition, maybe you can understand with your empty minds. Starting today, I have added a few new students to my class—"
Behind the table, Snape said coldly.
"To be exact, there are six in total. I don't know what you guys learned in that school before, and don't want to know—"
"In today's class, you don't have to do the same thing as the others. Each of you will come up to get a copy of the materials and complete the salamander blood synergy treatment within half a class."
"...This is to be used in the enhancer. If the enhanced salamander blood of sufficient quality can be processed on time, it will be used for your own subjects in the next class."
Although this kind of synergy treatment for a certain magic material is not a rare potion preparation technology.But in terms of difficulty, it is also something that you only learn in the fifth grade potions class.
Perhaps the little wizards who had been studying under Snape's hands hadn't noticed, but in fact, Snape's course content was more in-depth than other professors.
Can these students transferred from Minos really finish well?
"... We just learned the efficiency of salamander blood treatment in the last class?" Hermione, who has always understood what she learned, couldn't help muttering, "This is not fair!"
Since the classroom has been quiet since just now, Snape should have heard Hermione's words, but he didn't even want to pay any attention.
"...For those who can't do it, I will submit a report to the principal's office and deal with it accordingly." Snape said mercilessly, "Then, let's start."
"professor!"
Hermione glanced at Helen, who was somewhat knowingly pursing her mouth, and then decisively raised her hand.Snape looked over to her, but what he said made Hermione very angry.
"Miss know-it-all, you reminded me." He sneered sarcastically, and then continued, "I have to explain one more thing. I must have heard this sentence every freshman-in my potions class, Never raise your hands to speak!"
Hermione gritted her teeth and finally put her hand down.
"I thought you would continue as before..." Ron said strangely, "What's wrong?"
"I thought for a while, in fact, there was nothing wrong with him doing this..." Hermione said unwillingly. "If there is a hole in the knowledge because of the lack of solid learning, it is definitely not good for the students...but ...I never agree with what he did!"
As she said, she turned her head to look at Helen and whispered: "Don't worry, I will help-I will also help you with tuition if you haven't studied!"
"Thank you!" Helen immediately nodded obediently and smiled sweetly at Hermione.
On the other side, Sokas glanced at them.Only then took a steady step, and calmly walked over to the preparation table in front of the classroom.
There are various magic materials piled on the material preparation table, some of which need to be used, and of course some do not need to be used.In the eyes of others, Snape was making things difficult for people.
But Sokas didn't hesitate much. After a little thought, he immediately set out to select all the materials he needed.
The main ingredient is of course the salamander blood, and the rest are all supplementary formula ingredients.
In the potion preparation process, the synergistic treatment of the materials is not simply trying to "improve" the magical effects of the materials themselves.In the process of enhancing the effect, it is often necessary to use some neutral and even relatively relative materials to harmonize the stability of its magical properties.
So theoretically speaking, the potionist's enhancement of the material must be the pursuit of the greater the degree of increase, the better; but in actual situations, it is necessary to find a balance point that can keep the material effect stable.
Sokas, who has always had excellent grades in all subjects, is of course well aware of this knowledge. He has even calculated the specific ratio of the required materials in his mind.
After obtaining a sufficient amount of materials, Sokas conveniently landed and turned around and went to his seat.At this moment, under Hermione's whispering guidance, Helen, who had just figured out what materials to get, had just walked forward.
At the moment the two passed by, the light from the corner of Sokas's eyes glided past Helen's side face in secret.
"Sokas, do you need my help?" Malfoy with slightly swollen cheeks said vaguely, but he seemed to have recovered a bit, "I have always been good at improving the efficiency of salamander blood!"
"Thank you, but I don't bother you anymore," Sokas nodded politely and reservedly. "It is a sin to use your friendship with this trivial matter."
"Hahaha—wow—"
Sokas's compliment obviously made Malfoy very happy, but when he laughed, he accidentally affected the injury on his cheek, and suddenly he slapped his side and gave a light...
After a while, Helen held a handful of materials and carefully returned to her preparation table.When Hermione reminded her from time to time, she hurriedly handled the materials, calculated the proportions, heated them up, and stirred them in circles.
The preparation of potions requires considerable patience, and every step cannot be wrong.Otherwise, sometimes even a whole month of hard work will be completely wasted.
Perhaps it was because Helen's luck was good, or Hermione's guidance was clear and easy to understand. Although Helen's appearance always made people sweat, but the whole process was completed without any risk.
"Hermione, what do you think?" She seemed to be worried, pinching the test tube with two delicate fingers, staring at the reddish liquid inside. "This...can satisfy Professor Snape. Is the inspection standard?"
"Oh, of course—" Hermione nodded, "The quality is pretty good, it must be fine!"
"If you put it in the eyes of other potions masters, it's probably what you said." Harry curled his lips.
"What do you mean?" Helen blinked her watery eyes and asked strangely.
Ron shrugged and said, "Harry meant that if Snape didn't make things difficult for you, it would be fine. Otherwise, it would be hard to say..."
"Don't say it's useless!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly. "We did everything we could. If we still don't pass this, it's Snape's fault!"
Seeing Helen grabbing her long slender chestnut hair, seemingly hesitated, Hermione leaned forward and hugged her shoulders.
"Relax, if this fails, we will go to Maca!"
However, for Helen from the Minoan School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Greece, this sentence seems a little difficult to understand.Seeing her bewildered look, Hermione knew that not only did this comforting sentence not have the effect it should have, it made her even more confused.
"Anyway, it's okay!" Ron leaned forward and said, "Maca is Professor McLean from the Ancient Magic Course. We will find a chance to introduce you later."
Just after they were talking softly, Snape, who had been sitting behind the podium with his eyes closed blankly, suddenly knocked on the table.
"The time is up, six people will be recruited, and the salamander blood will be processed for testing."
Hermione and the others did not pay attention to the situation in Slytherin, but the three new classmates who were assigned to the fifth grade of Gryffindor College received some help from Hermione.
Although one of them seems to be really not good at potions, it should be enough to pass it, right?
"...Huh, are you sure you did it yourself?"
In Snape's cold snort, Hermione and the student's expressions changed at the same time.Of course, the former is angry red, while the latter is lost pale.
Malfoy below laughed even more, but then he let out another cry.It seems that he can't open his arms for joy before going to the school hospital to reduce the swelling of his cheeks.
"...Reluctantly," Snape glanced at Hermione, then corked the test tube in his hand and placed it in front of the student. "Next."
After that, two consecutive Slytherin classmates also passed.Although Snape did not judge him as "reluctantly" like Gryffindor's students, he was obviously not very satisfied.
"professor."
Sokas stepped forward and handed the enhanced salamander blood he prepared to Snape.His face still had that calm and calm expression, as if he didn't worry about the materials he had processed.
Snape took the test tube casually, shook it slightly in front of his eyes, and took out the stopper and smelled it.
"Yeah," he said casually in Sokas's calm eyes in the same unremarkable tone as the previous few times, "Qualified."
Sokas was visibly taken aback. When Snape handed the test tube back to him indifferently, he slowly stretched out his right hand and took it stiffly.) Download the free reader!!
