Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"Fuling agent has a very strong toxicity. Over-dose will bring terrible consequences, and it will cause the user to fall into dizziness, recklessness, arrogance, etc. It provides an intuition, and what it can solve is only to provide The solution is to save you from detours, rather than whimsical."

"Yes, the production process of the Fuling Potion is complicated, and it is easy to go wrong. However, the perfect Fuling Potion can make people feel comfortable, and you will find yourself doing things smoothly and smoothly during the effective time, and good luck." Slughorn noticed that the expectations of the class were raised, and smiled happily.

"The student who has made the best living hell decoction this time will be able to obtain this twelve-hour lucky. Now, let's get started."

Chapter 36 Busy Course (Part 2)

After more than ten minutes, the entire classroom began to be filled with mists of different colors. Hermione looked at her liquid medicine with satisfaction. She did every step in the book perfectly. So far, the characteristics of the liquid in the cauldron It's exactly the same as the book says.Next, just add the sleepy bean slices to the crucible and wait for the liquid to turn light snow blue.

Sleepy beans are difficult to cut, they are squashed and small, and it took her a lot of effort to get it right. After adding them, the color of the liquid medicine did not change, and it was still the original deep purple.Failure to achieve the results made Hermione very irritable. She was not really eager to get the prize of the blessing potion, but instinctively wanted to be the best.

She raised her head, wanting to get some more sleepy beans, Yu Guang glanced at Zoe's cauldron.

"How did you do it!" She watched in surprise as Zoe's cauldron had turned into a pale blue liquid.

"The key lies in the juice of sleepy beans. The slicing is just to make the juice easier to cook, but it takes more time and energy, and the juice does not easily penetrate into the potion." Zoe raised his silver knife, "Don't use cutting. Yes, squeeze it." Hermione saw a lot of juice pouring out of the sleepy beans, she tried to do it, and the potion added with the juice instantly turned its color.

"If time is sufficient, slicing is fine, but now time is far from enough to achieve the effect." Zoe manipulated skillfully. She had not survived the decoction of living hell before, but Snape told her about some material handling. skill.

With Snape's sternness, it is naturally impossible to directly hand over the map that draws shortcuts to Zoe. Zoe must personally sum up the experience and lessons of all potions, and then simplify the steps of the process.However, when Zoe's foundation seemed to him to be sufficient to deal with ordinary medicines, he would also take the initiative to talk to her about some techniques of potting medicine, which made Zoe admire every time.

In Snape's view, the preparation of potions in textbooks is usually a "stupid way" for ordinary people. "As long as you know a little magic, even if the person making it is just a monkey, you can make the finished product." This sentence is correct. Sex is aside, but Snape has never looked down on behaviors that only follow death steps.For him, these steps only provided a basic idea, like a foundation, and it would be foolish to treat this kind of thing as a bible.

So when the counterclockwise stirring failed to get good results, she gave up the textbook without hesitation, began to try her own, and always pay attention to the changes in the liquid medicine.Attempts are always accompanied by failure and re-emergence, and Zoe hasn't cared about these for a long time after Snape's tempering in the past few years.

Time passed quickly, and Slughorn stopped them.He walked over from the end of one side, observing each crucible, but made no comment.When he walked to their table, his eyes lit up and he patted Zoe on the shoulder.

"I'm very distressed." After Slughorn had read the finished products of all the students, he exaggerated frustration. "Although Dumbledore told me that you are all his proud students, I I never expected to see several plastic talents in a class, which made my grading difficult, because choosing the best one means that I have to give up the other two, even if they can definitely do the same thing."

"Harry Potter! Zoe Segal! Hermione Granger!" Slughorn said loudly. "Their potions are the most I have seen since I returned to Hogwarts this year to teach. Good work, the difference between the three is so small that it can be ignored. I believe that as long as I give them enough time, I will definitely get three perfect living hell soups!"

"If you look at the color, Harry's decoction is slightly lighter, but his handling of the materials is a bit rough; Zoe's handling of details is perfect, but the color of the potion is not as good as Harry; And Miss Granger—"

"Professor, I give up." Hermione said embarrassedly. "If Zoe hadn't helped me, and I'm still fighting the dark purple soup, I shouldn't be involved in this victory." But when she looked at Harry, she showed a skeptical look. As a friend, she naturally knew that Harry's talent for potions was not as good as his Defence Against the Dark Arts.

"This time the request is'a medicine that is more in line with the finished product.' Professor, you don't have to worry about other things." Zoe said that she didn't care much about the lucky potion as a prize, because the effect of the potion was not as rumored. So great, these twelve hours of luck is dispensable to her.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if she really needs a blessing potion, can't it be done by herself?

*********

Zoe sat down on the ground without any pain, but was a little frustrated.She didn't want the person on the other side to read the jokes, and quickly turned to stand up. She just wanted to pat the dust on her body, but realized that this was not the real world.

"That's it for today." Max put away her wand. Compared with the leisurely time when she first started the special training, she now needs to be serious. As the teaching party, her purpose is not to kill the target, so it is more costly. mind.

She watched Zoe deliberately sit down far away from her, and she couldn't help but feel funny."Are you always so disrespectful to your teacher?"

"The premise is that the'teacher' is not looking at my life." Zoe snorted coldly.

Max also didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and just found a place to sit down: "As the person who wants something, I think you should pay attention to my feelings."

Starting from last year's theory class, Max gradually began to practice duels with her. Max was not strong at all in dueling, but very cunning.Sometimes Zoe is dealing with Max's summons, and suddenly something will be attacked from the other side.Max's silent curse was particularly troublesome. At the beginning, Zoe could only passively wait for Max to recite the curse, and could not get the initiative.

However, apart from the strength of teaching, Max never tried to seize control of the body, or even mentioned it.But the more Max showed his harmlessness, the more creepy Zoe was.

"How did you become so honest recently?" Zoe did not hide his suspicions. When dealing with Max, it is often not a good solution to hide and tuck. On the contrary, it is easier to get the answer if you have something to say (no matter which answer is not real).

"I'm not a teenager, I don't want to be noisy all day long." Max said coldly, "and, I need to build up strength." She saw Zoe frowned and laughed at her, "Could it be you Have forgotten the fate between us, addicted to parent-child games?"

"...I wish that day would come quickly and drive you out." Zoe gritted his teeth and said stubbornly.These words of Max were like a basin of ice water, which poured her heart coldly, and the cold sweat came out instantly.Before she knew it, she actually became slack, and Snape's words that kept her vigilant became far away.

"This is also one of your intentions? Think you can weaken me in this way?" Zoe couldn't help but start to suspect that every move of Max was impure.

Max looked at her as if looking at a fool: "You came to me to teach you."

"If your consciousness is still so naive, you will die." As soon as Max spoke, Zoe knew that she was serious, "Kick me away? Do you think I'm just an unreasonable tenant? What you do is far more savage than chasing away. You'd better do it with the belief in killing me."

"As long as you still want to live in this world." Max said calmly, "There can be no two different souls in one body. One side will be robbed of everything and disappear forever in this world. , The winning side can get everything."

"I really don't understand why you want to do this." Zoe felt that breathing suddenly became difficult, and his heart began to tingle after a long time. "I can't understand what you think! If you want to live, why do you want to? Indulge me; if you don't want to live, you should accept the reality that you are dead!"

"It doesn't matter, even I myself sometimes can't understand such behavior. It's normal for you to understand it." Max looked at her, "why put on an expression that is unacceptable? Isn't that what you are doing? Expected development? Resolve the threat and protect yourself. As a creature, this is instinct."

"The armistice is officially over." Max smiled, talking to himself as he did in the first formal meeting, "There will be no next time, Zoe."

Chapter 37 Issues

"Are you not eating anymore?" Luna's eyes were like seeing Professor Flitwick turning into a handsome long-legged guy. Due to excessive shock, the drink in the cup could not be fed to her mouth. Drip on the robe.

"No appetite." If Zoe said this to someone other than the apple honey pie on the table, there was some credibility.

"I have no class in the morning." Luna said dryly.

"I have no class in the morning, what's the matter?" Zoe looked at her puzzled.

"Of course I took you to the medical service..." Luna was in a daze, and changed her words. "At the Christmas ball two years ago, you said you wanted to ask Harry to go to the Christmas ball. What happened at the ball?"

Zoe stared at her helplessly for a long time: "I didn't take the compound decoction... I have no interest in Harry."

"You can eat at least eight pies at ordinary times!" Luna raised her eyebrows, "but you don't even have to eat regular meals, you don't even eat desserts, it has been for many days, this is not normal!"

"Mood always affects appetite, Luna, I'm not a fool who just thinks about eating." Zoe was not even in the mood to refute Luna's "prejudice" against herself loudly, "I have to go to the library after eating. , A lot of homework is waiting for me to deal with.” That said, she never moved the knife and fork again.

She stared at the plate in front of her, and he hesitated for a long time before she said: "I mean, what would you do if I disappeared suddenly one day?"

"Hide and seek?" Luna blinked. "If I am a ghost, I must come and find it."

"What if you can't find it? No one can find it, the whole world can't find it." Zoe asked tentatively.

Luna looked at her quietly until Zoe avoided her sight: "Listen to me, Zoe. I went to Professor Flitwick before and applied to be the new Quidditch commentator. He was willing to give me a trial. Chance, just in the first game next month."

"Congratulations." Zoe tried to squeeze an enthusiastic smile, but her baffling expression weakened the joy of the smile.

"I want you to spare time to watch the game." Luna said seriously. She rarely makes such a solid voice, but every time she speaks in such a tone, it is mostly because she wants to make others value it.

Zoe opened her mouth. A month later, she didn't know how she was at that time: "...OK, I will go to the game." She nodded.

"Do you remember what happened a few years ago? That time when I was in the second grade." Luna fell into the memory, "I will never forget what you did for me, be angry about my things, stand in front of you and help I fought back. No one outside of my family has ever done this for me in the past. I was really touched. From then on, I decided to be your lifelong friend."

"...Why can you always say these shameful things so directly?" Zoe sighed, especially after she found that Luna was completely unmoved.

"Huh? It's all true, isn't it?" Zoe admired Luna, who was able to speak these words naturally.

*************

Going around the corner, Zoe saw a familiar back. Just about to walk forward, he was first noticed by the person talking to him, and a very kind smile appeared on that face.

"We were talking about you just now, Zoe!" Slughorn greeted her familiarly, "I heard Miss Granger say that you two have a very good relationship."
