Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

The same is the potion master, and everyone’s preparation habits and research directions are always different. For example, Snape is better at modulating potions with more sophisticated steps. The more highly skilled the preparation process is, the more he can differentiate himself from the average potion.

Slughorn, the veteran potions grandmaster, clearly has extensive research on various potion theories and solid techniques through extensive preparation experience.

It is amazing to know the various theoretical and practical skills that he will mention from time to time during the lectures, as well as the ease and freedom of the hand.

“…last point, yes! Professor McLorne also mentioned – Ariot Blade, I believe everyone has been exposed to it in the past. So, can anyone help me to recall this material? ?”

Slughorn first explained the specific effects of the vital tonic, and by the way, it was just the right place to name some of the main ingredients. 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 she would not get any benefit except the shoulders. Even if it is positive in learning, such as Hermione, in the potion class life year after year, the urgent need to answer questions for the house is eliminated.

But now, she can raise her hand in the potion class! It’s a bit more enjoyable than having a warm Butterbeer in the village of Hogsmeade.

“Oh, Miss Granger?” Slughorn smiled at her and nodded.

“Ariot tree, often referred to as the hyena tree, can cause the hysteria of the creature and the unstoppable laughter. Therefore, the chopped Ariote blade is often used to make ‘the top. Laughing potion’ is one of its main ingredients. And… Glumbumble’s molasses can eliminate the symptoms of this leaf, only a small spoon.”

“Well, it’s very correct,” Slughorn said with satisfaction. “Even if I can’t say better, Glumbumble is now an endangered species, and the molasses it produces is quite expensive. I hope everyone can pay attention to this. ”

I will say this little reminder, and he has followed the previous content.

“Yes, everyone has heard it – the Ariot blade can make people laugh, so it will be the basis for the discovery of potion. In fact, the vital tonics we are learning now also need it because Its ridiculous effect is based on the extra energy it can provide.”

Slughorn paused, smirked: “Severus, Professor Snape, who taught potion lessons for you in the past, is also a famous circle of potions grandmaster. I think he mentioned it in the course of talking about potion – in the preparation process In the process, the chopped Ariote leaves should not be too intense during the mixing process, otherwise the ingredients that can cause laughter will be destroyed!”

“But this time, we just want to destroy it, because we will not want to laugh at others when taking the vital tonic, is it? About this, please put two kinds of potion The difference is firmly in mind – I mean, if you want to take more points in the OWLs exam.”

He shrugged to show that this is for everyone’s sake.

“So, the preparation of the vital tonic is relatively simple, and the hardest part is the agitation when the chopped Ariote leaves are placed. Vigorous agitation will destroy the ridiculous ingredients and also Produce a relatively large magic power vortex reaction. Although Professor McLorne has prepared a white flower for you, I hope that you will need to be more careful in the process of modulation…”

Slughorn’s “magic power vortex reaction”, simply because the stirring speed is too fast, causes the magical liquid with magic power in the cauldron to form a magic power vortex. If this kind of reaction that is more common in the preparation of potion occurs too intensely, there will be a sad frying pan.

As can be seen from the death of Luna mother, the process of studying the curse sometimes implies a danger of being fatal. Similarly, some very terrifying situations can occur during the preparation of the potion.

In the many unpredictable accidents, the frypot can be said to be a baptism that every potion preparer will experience. If you don’t have a frying pan, you are even embarrassed to tell others that you will make a potion.

However, even if this type of accident will follow your potion preparation career for a lifetime, it will always be a bad accident that can’t happen if it doesn’t happen. Because the difference in potion you make, its danger can not be generalized.

At the time of the World’s eye-catching magic school potion tournament, it was a permanent suspension due to a fryer in a final. According to A History of Magic, the scene of the game was particularly fierce, and even left a trace of poisonous swamp that could not be completely eliminated.

“Okay, then, it’s up to you to be Professor McLorne, who is looking forward to it!” Slughorn was pleased. “Today, he and I will show you a collaborative preparation technique!”

The name of the technology sounded a bit strange, and even Hermione, who had read a lot of books, shook his head under the watchful eyes of several Gryffindors, indicating that he was not clear.

“You don’t have to worry too much, because this potion preparation technique has not been officially entered into your textbook, so it can’t be found in the potion skills list.” Slughorn explained specifically, “But everyone must remember, yours Professor McLorne has twice won the annual Silver Award for the Practical Academic Journal of Potion, and one of the research papers is about this very clever potion preparation technique!”

He spoke and said, suddenly leaning forward, pretending to whisper: “…I think that since you are a Hogwarts student, why not take a step ahead of other school students?”

Since ancient times, potion preparation is usually just a person’s work. Because the two-person cooperation theoretically will greatly reduce the difficulty of preparation, you can actually find that the interference between each other will be more. Potion is a very fine subject, so this interference is often fatal to a potion.

However, Marx has found a lot of detachable preparation techniques in the process of personal preparation, especially those complicated skills that need to be multi-purpose, and he has been split into a simpler two-person cooperation technology.

Undoubtedly, this set of preparation techniques that have been standardized due to splitting and summarization will certainly make some potions easier to prepare and more conducive to popularization.

“Actually, I didn’t expect that the summary paper that was handed to Professor Snape would be submitted by Professor Dumbledore.” Marx spread his hand and smiled. “If you have any special thoughts in the future, remember to write it down to you.” Professor Slughorn can take a look and see if he can get an award.”

When he finished, he stood side by side with Slughorn’s old man on both sides of the cauldron in front of the classroom, and then Slughorn extended out wand and tapped on the edge of the cauldron. On the other hand, Marx 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 potent potion of vital tonics, and every step and every detail is in the chest. According to the technical splits summarized by Marx, the actions of the two people did not delay at all, and their respective division of labor became quite clear and smooth.

Just now, Slughorn’s evaluation of Marx’s technique is very accurate – it’s a clever potion preparation technique, because it’s not so advanced, even the students can easily understand most of the flaws.

Sometimes this is the case in academics. Whether it’s mugge science or wizard’s magic, the so-called progress often begins with a less-than-thinking summary of that’s all. Another type of standardization can be created, but it will open up a brand new World for the whole discipline.

Everyone looked at the tacit cooperation between Marx and Slughorn. You came to me to make it clear, and it was easy to complete the entire First Step – the preparation of the base material. In the case of independent preparation, it can’t be so brisk. How to say it is also a potion that can only be learned in Fifth Year.

“professor!”

When Slughorn puts down the glass rod in his hand and is planning to analyze some of the techniques that have just been shown, a voice allows him to take the words that have come to his lips.

“Mr. Longbottom?” old man curiously, “What’s wrong?”

Neville, who was very introverted from an early age, suddenly raised his hand and said, this is a big news. At present, most of the students turned their heads to look at his table, so that Harry, Ron and Hermione, who were at the same table with him, were also Surprising eyes are surrounded.

“…Pan, Pansy Parkinson… Miss, give me a paper ball…” Neville snorted with his uncomfortable mouth.

“What was written on it?” Slughorn picked up his eyebrows, and the chubby old face flashed a bit of doubt.

It’s a normal thing to pass some small notes in class. This old man is obviously not a strict professor. I don’t care much about these little actions.

“I haven’t…not seen.” Neville spread his hand and moved to the side, seemingly trying to be farther away from the snakes.

Marx casually glanced at Parkinson of Slytherin house, only to find that her face was a bit whitish.
