Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

“This is Veritaserum, colorless, odorless and tasteless. The person who drinks it will be unstoppable to tell the truth. The main material for the preparation of this potion is the rhizome juice of the windshield, acidified and added…”

“Oh, Miss Granger, the recipe and preparation process is the content of the follow-up course.” Slughorn quickly stopped Hermione from saying, “Good, the answer is correct… then, the next cauldron…”

He hadn’t finished, Hermione’s arm was lifted again.

“Okay, please say-“

“Polyjuice Potion is in this cauldron,” Hermione said immediately. “It’s more complicated to make. It needs… Oh, sorry, Professor! I mean, it allows the drinker to change his appearance, including appearance and size. , skin characteristics, etc., to turn the drinker into another person – the recipe is characterized by the need to change a little tissue on the subject, and the entire preparation process often takes a month.”

“Well, yes, yes, excellent answer!” Slughorn couldn’t help but swell. “Miss Granger, I even have reason to believe that you might have been able to make it yourself…”

Of course, old man doesn’t know. In fact, Hermione has already made a pot of himself, and it is only in Second Year.

“…in this case, Miss Granger.” Slughorn shrugged said, “Is this pot?”

“Oh… um.”

When the old man pointed to the third cauldron, Hermione hesitated a little. In the silver cauldron, it is a colorful and faintly discernible medicinal liquid. At first glance, it seems to be able to see the calm liquid, but it seems to directly see the bottom of the cauldron.

Of course, she doesn’t know the potion. On the contrary, in this four cauldrons, the potion in this mouth is familiar to her.

“…This is the invisible potion created by Professor McLorne, which allows the drinker to completely hide himself and prevent others from being aware of his existence. Its main material is the wings of the fairy.”

Having said that, Hermione paused for a moment, and then he continued to say it in confusion.

“In addition,” she said. “This potion was certified by the International Wizard Federation’s potion management office at the beginning of 1992. Its name was published in the international academic journal The Practical Potioneer and won the year. Silver Award of the Year. But…”

“Ah! Miss Granger, I know you have any questions,” Slughorn said with a smile. “Yes, according to the rules of the Wizard Federation, the formula of Xianyin potion must be announced after Professor McLorne’s death! But – ”

He spoke, suddenly erected an index finger, excitedly said: “If it is the communication that Professor McLorne himself instructed, but it is not within its limits. Yes, that is, now the whole world is only in our classroom. People can learn how to prepare this potion!”

a sentimental attachment may allow you to get more and longer benefits, but for today’s Marx, only the district’s fairy potion is not so precious. In fact, he has already had a lot of original or improved potion formulas in his hands. Although the potions have not been sent to the Wizards Federation for verification, they have long been sold in the black market.

Snape mentioned in the first potion class that potion can “gather wealth, increase reputation, brew glory, and stop death”. Among them, First Step Marx can be said to have reached the initial stage, then the nature that he will carry out is the second and third steps.

And this and his current state, it also has a complementary effect, then why not he?

At the moment, Marx is undoubtedly a hot spot for the entire Hogwarts. When Slughorn said this, the students who heard that they could learn the fairy potion were excited. Think about it too. The students who can enter the NEWTspotion class at this moment are almost all interested in potion. Can you learn a potion that no one else can, so how lucky?

“Okay!” Slughorn waved his hand and motioned to calm down. “Miss Granger, your answer to this fairy potion is just as accurate. It’s really great! Then… what the last one?”

The old man said, and he reached out to the remaining gold cauldron. The students who were attracted by the aroma of cauldron were involuntarily looking at it again, and the throat was agitated.

“This… um, it’s love potion.” Hermione couldn’t help but swallow, and some mouths dryly said, “its medicinal liquid presents a unique mother-of-pearl color, and the steam at the time of boiling rises in a double-stranded spiral. …it can give the drinker a strong sense of obsession or fascination. Similar to Polyjuice Potion, it also requires the organization of the person to take effect.”

“Right!” Slughorn nodded his head and his heartfelt admiration. “Of course, there is a little… um, Miss Granger, what else do you want to add?”

He seems to be thinking about something. After a little hesitation, he still moved towards Hermione and asked.

“Well…” Hermione blinked. “About its smell, everyone smells differently, depending on what they like… just like, for example, I smell something like a book, ink, a certain plant’s rhizome, and…”

After enumerating several odors, she suddenly slammed her mouth and stopped talking.

“Very good, very good—” Slughorn quite openly dismissed the topic. “This is also part of the love potion, but… I want to add a little more! The effect of love potion is not just for Humans – not even biological. Note that according to the latest research, even if you finally lose the thread on a stinky sock in the medicinal liquid, it will also complete the effective steps and let the user fall in love with that one. Ridiculous smelly socks!”

“So, how do you say that?” Old man shook his head. “As Miss Granger just mentioned – the effect of love potion is obsessed or infatuated, not true love! This obsession is terrifying It is very dangerous, please don’t underestimate it…”

“…well, now,” Slughorn waved wand and took away all four cauldrons. “We have to start with the simplest potion in the NEWTs course. For you, just those.” Still early! Oh, except for Xianyin potion…”

“Why?” a Ravenclaw student was questioned.

“Because most of its steps are not complicated,” Hermione said casually. “Besides the first step of the second phase – that involved a very novel theory, Professor McLorne and Professor Snape worked together. ”

……

As Hermione said to Harry at first, the NEWTs course that Sixth Year started is really much harder than the past. Not to mention the four potions that Slughorn showed at the beginning, even the “simplest kind of potion” in the old man’s mouth, also made students feel great resistance to learning.

So in the potion class the next day, the bald old man thought about a good idea to greatly enhance everyone’s desire to learn.

“…I believe everyone sees it,” Slughorn pointed to the smallest black cauldron on the desk. “Maybe Miss Granger can also explain the name and role of this potion?”

As he spoke, the medicinal liquid in the little cauldron leaped lightly and looked like flowing gold. Although its quantity is very small, no matter whoever looks at it, it will feel extremely satisfying.

“That’s a fortune!” Hermione didn’t even watch it. She just stood on the side of the small round table on her side and answered. “Some people call it ‘lucky potion’, the effect is to bring a drink to the drinker.” Good luck all day!”

“It’s just right!” Slughorn satisfactorily said with a smile, “Yes, introduce it only needs to say – ‘Good luck all day’! Just take it, you will find that you will be very good no matter what you do.” Smooth – sometimes it’s like a miracle!”

As he said, he was paused, but he was warned repeatedly: “However, its preparation process is quite complicated, and a little bit of mistake can have terrible consequences. And, please note that it is inherently toxic. Excessive use is strictly forbidden; moreover, its good fortune seems to come from ‘overdrafts’, and when the effects of the drug pass, bad luck will follow…”

“What about bad luck?”

Harry was obviously very interested in this stuff, and when he heard Slughorn mention the side effects, he immediately asked.

“Yes, bad luck!” Slughorn repeated. “In fact, our potion has not yet reached an accurate conclusion on this issue. It sometimes starts to appear after the drug has passed. Sometimes, there will be an indefinite period of time… even those who may affect the people around you, maybe! This side effect is actually raised by Professor McLorne and me during the discussion…”

“Have you taken it?” Harry asked. “I mean, have you experienced the so-called ‘bad luck’?”

“Oh, yes… I have tried it twice,” Slughorn said. “Of course, luck, this kind of thing is obviously not practical to measure, isn’t it? I remember, the second time was in me five. At the age of seventeen, on the third day after taking it, I fell and broke my head… I don’t know if that counted?”

“All in all,” he waved. “The most important thing you need to remember is ‘no overdose’. This is absolutely not wrong! As for the occasional amount, it is not a problem… at least until now So far, I have not heard that someone has used Fuling agent to have problems!”

“So!” Finally, Slughorn touched the small cauldron and smiled. “A Fuling agent will be the first prize to make a ‘live hell potion’!”
