Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

Chapter 508: Help from the Half-Blood Prince (Part 2)

"OK OK."

Slughorn appeared on the podium, and it was he who covered the lid of the potion. Otherwise, the students' noses would be almost completely close to the podium.

Lewis's mind became clear for a moment. He looked at the potion in the middle with some fear, still thinking about what it was.

He suddenly remembered that Slughorn seemed to have prepared something special for them.

"Dear students, please prepare your scales, medicine bags, and don't forget to take out your "Advanced Potion Making", let's start the potion making class this semester.

"

There was a rustling sound as the students were putting the scales, medicine bags, and textbooks on the desk. Louis saw Harry holding the tattered "Advanced Potion Making" and carefully placed it on the desk. On the stage.

"When the placement is complete, please come to the front."

Slughorn greeted the students, puffing out his belly and looking like he was going to unbutton the front of his clothes.

"I have prepared some potions for you to open your eyes. Of course, it's just out of interest. You should be able to prepare them after you finish the sixth grade advanced courses."

Slughorn said, but what he didn't know was that there was already a student present who could fully prepare these advanced potions.

"So, please tell me, what is this?"

He pointed to the crucible on the far right, which looked like a bowl of water.

Hermione raised her hand out of habit, as if out of reflex. Slughorn was a little surprised, pointed and asked her to answer:

"This is Veritaserum, Professor. It is colorless and odorless. Drinking it will force others to tell the truth.

"

"Very good, this is exactly the Veritaserum, it's amazing that you can recognize it, then let's go on.

"

He walked to the far left and pointed to the smoking crucible: "Who can tell me what this is?"

"Polyjuice Potion, sir," Hermione said quickly.

They were very familiar with this potion. They had taken it before when they sneaked into Slytherin Academy. Later, Louis relied on it for many disguises.

"Great, what about this potion?" Slughorn opened the newly covered cauldron, and the enchanting aroma floated out again, "You must know it, my dear?"

"It's a love potion, Professor."

Hermione blurted out, with no intention of giving up the chance to answer the question, "It's the most effective love potion in the world."

Sure enough, it was a love potion. Louis' guess was correct. Although he had never seen what a love potion looked like before, he had heard its name.

This is a very dangerous potion that can make people fall in love with each other, unable to control their emotions and body, and willing to do anything for the other person.

Voldemort was the product of love potion, so he could not feel love and scorned this power. Old Tom was given a love potion by Voldemort's mother, and when the power of the potion disappeared, he decisively abandoned them.

Old Tom Riddle didn't love Merope at all from his heart, which was also the beginning of all tragedies.

This has happened countless times in history, and even Queenie and Jacob have been troubled by love potions.

The scent of this potion varies from person to person, and everyone's experience is different, but in the final analysis, it is about the scent of love from beginning to end.

"Exactly. I think you recognized it from its unique luster?"

"And its unique pink gas. And its fragrance. Everyone smells it differently. I can smell the freshly mowed grass, parchment, and...

. "

She suddenly blushed and stopped talking.

Slughorn didn't pay attention to the expression on Hermione's face. He said excitedly:

"I would like to ask, Miss Granger, are you not related by blood to Huttok Granger?"

"No, Professor, I'm Muggle-born.

"

"Ah, Muggle-born, you remind me of my former student." Slughorn said, "She was also Muggle-born and a Gryffindor student. You are very similar to her, both are very smart. ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Harry understood who Slughorn was talking about.

"Of course, I have always believed that extraordinary wisdom is a great wealth for mankind. Your future achievements must be extraordinary, Miss Granger."

Slughorn turned around and walked onto the stage, covering the pot of love potion again.

"Now I have to give twenty points to Miss Granger of Gryffindor." He said, "As for this pot of love potion, my suggestion is that it can have a good effect in your relationship if you use it just right. But everything has two sides, and when using love potions, you should also pay attention to the negative effects it may bring.”

No magic potion is perfect, and sometimes the price you pay may be more than what you get.

Louis knows this better than anyone else. He is good at making potions and naturally understands this, so he tries to reduce the frequency of using potions when it is not necessary.

"Okay, that's the end of the introduction." Slughorn continued, "It's time for us to start the formal class."

"Professor, you haven't said what it is yet?"

Ernie McMillan pointed to the inconspicuous little bottle on the table, filled with golden liquid.

"Ah, yes, this is a very special thing." Slughorn picked up the bottle, "I think Miss Granger must know what it is."

"The elixir of fortune, also known as the lucky potion, will bring you good luck."

In an instant, everyone's attention was diverted. The word "lucky" was too tempting.

"Exactly correct, plus ten points for Gryffindor." Slughorn's eyes looked like he had just used Felixir today. "This potion is used to control luck. After taking it, you will be able to control your luck all day long." The luck will become perfect. Of course, the refining of this potion is very complicated. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. "

Lewis listened to Slughorn's story. Elixir of Fortune had always been a magic potion that he had never succeeded in. It was because the steps were too complicated and there were no substitute materials, making the entire refining process very painful.

However, now that he has activated the goblin's lucky gold coin, on the one hand, he does not need the Spirit of Fortune Potion to improve his luck.

"So why don't people come and take it every day?"

The questioner was a sixth-grade Hufflepuff student, and his question echoed the sentiments of most students in the room.

"Because if you take too much, it will cause the person who takes it to be arrogant, arrogant, and even poisoned." Slughorn explained, "As I just said, everything has two sides. Medicine is three parts poison, and overdose Taking any potion will cause irreversible damage to the body."

"But we can take it occasionally and in small amounts. I have taken it twice before. Those two days felt like the most perfect days in my life."

Slughorn's words aroused the emotions of the students in the classroom. Although he said this, no one could resist the temptation of luck.
