Chapter 27 Come on, Snape
To make a potion, the first thing to do is to properly handle the ingredients.
The quality of the material and the treatment method will directly affect the efficacy of the medicine.
Put 6 parts of snake teeth into a mortar and grind them into powder. This step must be fine. If there are large particles, there will be flocs in the final product, and the effect is very poor.
Using pure water as the base, put the snake tooth powder and 4 parts of dried nettles into the crucible, heat it on a slow fire for 10 seconds, and trigger the reaction of the medicine.
Then wave your wand, inject magic, and wait patiently for the reaction to complete.
The amount of magic power, the length of waiting, and even the will to inject magic power will all have an impact.
Wait until the solvent color turns slightly blue, put 4 steamed horned slugs into the crucible, after 5 seconds the slugs will melt.
Remove the cauldron from the heat and put 2 whole porcupine quills into the cauldron.
After the porcupine quill melts, wave your wand, inject magic power again, stir clockwise for 5 circles, the color will change to light green, done!
Ted and Hermione's potion is very smooth, and the color is almost done.
Anyway, Ted can be regarded as a half-skilled worker.
"Ding~ The task [Young Wizard's First Potion (Green)] is completed, you get 200 experience, and the card [Neville's Failed Scabies Potion (Green)]."
【Neville's failed scabies potion (green)】
Prop card
Neville failed to make the scabies potion, and after throwing it out, all contaminated targets within a radius of 5 meters of the drop point were covered with itches and covered with scabies bumps.
Disposable.
Remarks: Be careful not to throw it on your own people!
Ah, a one-time item card.
Although the effect is not very good, it seems that the scope is quite wide.
…
After all, the potion brewing process has been explained clearly, and the amount of medicinal materials is not a word like "appropriate amount", which is based on feeling. The time is accurate to the second. It stands to reason that there should be no problems if you follow the steps.
Then "pang~", Seamus' cauldron exploded!
Four or five little wizards around were affected. His own face was black, and two red boils grew on his nose!
Frying Pot Tianzun Seamo: Back then, I had my hands in my pockets, and I didn’t know what a crucible was.
Presumably after seven years, he would have had a lot of money just to buy the crucible.
Snape was so angry that his face flushed red!
If it weren't for Snape's hard-headedness at this moment, the blood pressure that was off the charts would have blown Tianling Gai away!
"Stupid! Are you brewing a gold blast potion? How on earth do you make a scabies potion? Huh?!"
Snape was so angry that he was going to fly while processing the remaining liquid medicine.
When Snape got angry, Neville on the side immediately entered a "state of emergency".
Neville was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke. The more anxious he became, the more clumsy he became, and he was about to throw the medicinal materials in his hand into the cauldron.
Thanks to Ted grabbing his hand, "Porcupine quills can't be put in while the cauldron is heating!"
In the original book, he made this mistake, directly burning the crucible through, and made himself covered with boils and pimples.
Neville put down the porcupine quill tremblingly: "Thank you, Ted."
Snape on one side obviously couldn't see the scene of this long-lasting friendship, "Ha! Does our Mr. Epifani think that he can already teach others? How arrogant!"
"For interfering with others brewing potions, 5 points will be deducted from Ravenclaw!" Snape had a smug look on his face.
Ted was also delighted!
Professor, the task of deducting points will be entrusted to you.
Snape deducted points from himself, even Professor Flitwick would not blame himself, isn't there hope for this mission?
What a beautiful thing!
He wanted to take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, so he tried to argue: "Professor, I don't feel that I can teach others. I just want to prevent Neville from burning through his cauldron."
Snape had another mocking smile on his face: "It seems that you are well aware of the consequences of such a stupid approach... Contradicting the professor, another 5 points will be deducted!"
Ted: Professor, you are awesome~
At this time, Neville finally couldn't help it anymore, "No, no, it's not Ted's fault, it's me, me..."
However, Snape seemed to have a "specialization on Neville", just a glance over his eyes made him hold back his words.
"Ha, the Boy Who Lived—Longbottom. What do you want to say? Or do you want to use your pot of poison to thank your friends? Don't tell me that everything I said was ignored, and only Epiphany's Are you listening? If you don’t listen carefully, 5 points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
After spitting out some venom, Neville was stunned with tears in his eyes.
At this time, Malfoy finally found a chance. He was laughing when Ted deducted points just now, and now he laughed softly: "Ha, the boy who survived is a snotluck~"
Snape pretended not to hear this at all.
Harry, Ron and the others glared at the master and apprentice, wishing they could pour the potion in the cauldron.
…
get out of class was over, and Snape floated away with his textbooks in his arms like a big bat.
The Malfoy trio chatted and laughed loudly while glancing at Ted and the others, looking like a villain.
Harry, Hermione and the others all defended Ted and Neville.
"Sirius said long ago that Snape, an old bat, is vicious! If you ask me, he didn't explain clearly how vicious Snape is." Harry was indignant.
Ted looked at her: Neville is all angry for you!
Hermione was also indignant, and seriously despised Snape's behavior of not adding points but also deducting points for his answers.
Ron Jerry cursed Snape in a low voice for losing his hair and becoming bald.
Neville was sobbing carefully.
Ted patted him on the shoulder: "Neville, the world will not treat you with any tenderness just because you cry. Don't expose your weakness to others, except relatives and friends."
At this time, there should really be a song "Hogwarts Doesn't Believe in Tears"!
"But if you are really sad, we will be your most loyal listeners. If one day we want to cry, you will comfort us, right?"
Neville wiped away his tears and nodded heavily.
In short, Neville's class was very difficult.
Ted is very good, although no points are added, but points are deducted!
One deduction is 10 points! Snape is worth several professors~
But to be honest, Snape didn't target Harry, which made Ted a little concerned.
You have changed, you are no longer the vicious Snape who targeted "Pot"!
Even Ted felt that Snape paid too much attention to Harry.
That's right, although he didn't say a word, Ted was keenly aware that Snape always paid special attention to Harry.
So much so that Ted, Ron and others who got close to Harley and talked small things in class also paid attention.
I was targeted partly because of my "excellent" performance, and on the other hand, it may be because of being implicated by Harley.
Now she is not targeted, and she distributes the targeting to her friends.
Sure enough, the target will not disappear, it will only transfer~
…
I slept late tonight because there was an astronomy class in the middle of the night.
The astronomy class should be on the astronomy tower, which is the highest place in the whole castle. Just climbing the spiral steps has already given some students motion sickness~
The professor of astronomy is Professor Aurora Sinista, a woman who doesn't look very old, and doesn't seem to have much presence in the original book.
The second-hand telescope Ted bought before will work.
It's just that Ted's second-hand telescope is really worthy of the price of second-hand goods, and they can't see clearly.
Fortunately, I could rub Hermione's binoculars to see.
Someone may ask, is it romantic to climb upstairs to watch the stars in the middle of the night?
What do wizards study astronomy for? Do you also want to develop aerospace technology?
In fact, it is not the case. Since ancient times, human beings have had an infinite yearning for celestial bodies. Be it Muggles or wizards.
The celestial bodies actually have powerful magic power, and their movements and trajectories are used by wizards after long-term observation.
It's just that that part belongs to ritual magic, which is very advanced and not taught in schools.
Ritual magic can often do many "miracles" with a very small amount of magic power!
Because this is a kind of taking advantage of the situation and following the trend.
Astronomy is often used in advanced ritual magic, because it is necessary to choose the day and time, such as "the planet moves to the correct position", "lunar eclipse", "nine stars in succession", "comet strikes the moon" and so on~
And many human festivals have become festivals because of their unique magic power. Like Halloween, Easter, Christmas...
It's just that thousands of years have passed, and the original intention of the festival has been distorted in legends and stories.
However, for Ted, the knowledge in this area is a bit too obscure, and it is far from the time for his own research.
Now there is no need to waste energy, it is enough to learn the knowledge in the textbook.
In the blink of an eye, it was already Thursday, and this afternoon was Ted's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Go with Gryffindor.
Defense Against the Dark Arts is still very popular among young wizards.
Transfiguration is too obscure and difficult, and the homework is so written that it makes one's scalp tingle.
The magic spell has only taught the fluorescent spell so far, so I have to practice it repeatedly.
Herbology is interesting, but it's always messy and tiring. Sometimes dangerous!
History of Magic is simply a catch-up class.
Potions class Snape had pronounced everyone a fool.
Now, Defense Against the Dark Arts and flying lessons are still in the happy dreams of little wizards.
It's just that I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them.
