Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 525
A genius remembers the address of this site 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 elaborate 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 potions theories and the solid technology gained through extensive preparation experience.
Just looking at the various theories and practical skills he would mention from time to time in the course of lectures, as well as the ease and ease that came with him at his fingertips, 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 been exposed to it in the past courses. So, who can help me recall this material? ?"
Slughorn first explained the specific effects of the vitality tonic, and by the way also named some of the characteristics of the main raw materials.And 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, and would not get any 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 irresistible laughter. Therefore, chopped Arriot leaves are often used to make a Laughter Potion' is one of its main raw materials. And... the molasses produced by the sad worm can eliminate the symptoms caused by this leaf, and it only takes a small spoon."
"Well, very correct," Slughorn said with satisfaction. "Even I can't say better. But as an endangered species, the molasses it produces has become very expensive. I hope everyone Be able to pay attention to this."
After this small reminder, he then proceeded along with the content just now.
"Yes, everyone has heard that-Arriot leaf can make people laugh, so it is the basis for the invention of the laughter potion. But in fact, the vitality tonic we are learning now also needs it, because Its funny effect 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 well-known potion master in the magic world. I think he is talking about Laughter Potion. It must have been specifically mentioned in the course of —— 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 when taking vitality tonics, right? Regarding this, please take the two medicines Keep the difference firmly in your mind-I mean, if you want to score more points in the exam."
He shrugged to show that he was thinking of everyone.
"So, the preparation process of the vitality tonic is relatively simple, and one of the most difficult points is the stirring while putting in the chopped Arriot leaves. Vigorous stirring will destroy the laughable ingredients and also It produces a relatively large magical vortex reaction. Although Professor McLean has prepared white flowers for you, I hope you still need to be more careful in the process of preparing..."
Slughorn’s "magic vortex reaction",
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 terrible accident that can't happen if it doesn't happen.Because depending on the medicine you make, its dangers cannot be generalized.
At the time, the world-famous Magic School Potions Championship was permanently suspended because of a fryer in a certain final.According to records in the history of magic, the scene of the match was exceptionally tragic, and even left a swamp of poisonous rot that could not be completely eliminated in Northern Europe.
"Okay, then, next, it's time for the Professor McLean you are expecting to be on the 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 a few 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 specially, "but, everyone I must 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 clever potion. Preparation skills!"
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 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 are a very delicate subject, so this interference is often fatal to a pot of potions.
But Maca, however, found many detachable preparation techniques in the process of personal preparation, especially those complex techniques that require multi-tasking, which he dismantled into simpler two-person cooperation techniques.
Undoubtedly, this set of preparation techniques standardized by disassembly and summary will certainly make the preparation of certain medicines easier, and it is also more conducive to the development of popularization.
"In fact, I didn't expect that the summary paper handed over to Professor Snape at that time would be taken by Professor Dumbledore to submit it," Maca spread his hands and smiled. "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 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 the less difficult medicine like vitality tonic, and every step and every detail are 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 it The trick.
Sometimes this is the case in academic terms. Whether it is Muggle science or wizard's magic, the so-called progress often begins 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 stop the words that had reached his mouth.
"Mr. Longbottom?" the old man said curiously, "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. At the moment, most of the students turned their heads and looked at his table, so that Harry, Ron, and Hermione were at the same table with him. He was surrounded by surprised eyes.
"...Pan, Pansy Parkinson...Miss, give me a paper ball..." Neville squatted with his unclean lips.
"What's written on it?" Slughorn raised an eyebrow, a trace of doubt flashed across his chubby old face.
It is 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 spread out his palms, and at the same time moved it aside, as if he wanted to get further away from the little snakes.
Maca casually glanced 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.
