Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 296 New Experience in Potions Class ([-])

The four of Slytherin and Ravenclaw naturally stood at two tables, and the three of Harry had to be with Ernie.

After they all found their seats, Slughorn returned to the back of the podium, floated neatly through the cauldron, and said, "Okay, now the class begins... Please take out the scales, medicine bags, and There's your Advanced Potion-Making textbook."

"Professor?" Harry said, raising his hand, "I don't have books, I don't have scales, I don't have anything, and Ron is the same... We didn't expect to be able to go to advanced classes..."

"Oh... by the way! I almost forgot that Professor McGonagall mentioned this."

"You can use the materials in the storage cabinet today, and you can use the old ones for the balance and textbooks first..." Saying this, Slughorn walked to a storage cabinet in the corner and took out two old textbooks and the balance, The crucible was handed to the two of them.

"Okay, let's get down to business!" He returned to the back of the podium, "I have prepared several medicines to open your eyes, and they are in the cauldron in front of you. If everything goes well, you can do it after you finish the improvement class. Out."

"I think, even though you haven't done it yet, you should have heard of their names... Now, who can tell me what kind of potion it is?"

Slughorn walked over to the Slytherin table and reached over to lift the lid of the cauldron.The others leaned over and saw that it was full of liquid like clear water.

"Veritaserum." Hermione said directly, "Colorless and odorless, it can force people to tell the truth."

"Very good!" Slughorn said happily, and came to Ravenclaw's long table again, "So, what is this kind?"

"To give you a hint, it's mentioned in those pamphlets from the Ministry of Magic recently..."

"Compound Potion." Hermione replied calmly.

She is no stranger to compound decoction, and has successfully brewed it, although the experience of using it at the time was not very good.

"Yes, yes! So, do you still recognize the next one, dear?" Slughorn opened the cauldron on Harry's long table, and Hermione recognized it at a glance.

"Emotion potion...the kind with very good quality."

Hermione's performance aroused Slughorn's interest, and he directly opened the cauldron on the podium.

"Miss Granger, come and see, can you recognize what this is?"

Hermione looked at the potion in the cauldron that exuded a strange smell, it was extremely clear.After sniffing, he replied without hesitation: "Felix Elixir! Professor."

"Very good, very good!" Slughorn clapped his hands happily, his words full of praise.

"Sure enough, he is the best student in the whole year, Gryffindor adds [-] points!"

He raised his hand to signal everyone to return to their positions, and then said: "Veritaserum, a potion that makes people tell the truth, is mostly used in interrogations, and is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic."

"Compound Potion, which is also a strictly controlled drug, is now even more banned. Because it can make people completely look like another person. Under the current situation, its danger is not necessary. I emphasized."

"Emotion potions, potions that can create passion, are also controlled potions."

"I saw a love potion in a shop in Diagon Alley, but it was modified and can only last for 24 disappearances at most. But the pot in front of you is not like that." Slughorn said, " I need to remind you that love potions do not create passion, only intense infatuation and obsession, which may last for months or even years."

"Finally, Blessing Elixir." He gently shook the potion in the crucible, allowing the strange and charming fragrance to emanate. After attracting everyone's attention, he closed the lid and turned to take it from the pocket of his vest. He took out a small bottle and shook it.

"Perhaps the most magical potion, it only takes such a small bottle to bring good luck for twelve hours. After you drink it, you will feel that no matter what you do, it is like getting In the favor of Lady Luck."

"Of course, this good luck is not permanent, and you can't drink it all day. Who knows why?"

"Because excessive drinking of Felicia elixir can cause dizziness, and it can also make people reckless and arrogant. Simply put, it can change people's character."

Hermione's answer satisfied Slughorn, and he gave Gryffindor another ten.

"Excellent answer!" said Slughorn. "So, you have heard, no matter how good something is, don't drink too much of it. Even Felicia is poisonous to some extent... But, so There is no problem with a small bottle!"

"I've decided! Make it a prize for this class!" he said. "Now, turn to page ten of your Advanced Potion-Making book, and for the rest of the time, you're going to try to make a living Potion of Hell."

"This is a complex potion that you have never been exposed to. I don't expect anyone to make a perfect potion... So, the reward will be given to the most outstanding person!"

"Now, let's get started!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone moved out their own crucibles, turned the book to the tenth page, and started cooking according to the steps written on it.

Everyone is very serious about getting Felicia and getting that very lucky day.Slughorn walked among everyone with great interest, but he was not as stern as Snape, with a kind smile on his face.

But not everyone is so smooth, and Harry ran into trouble.The blank space of the old textbook he got was filled with annotations, and some steps were directly crossed out, and the original operation steps could not be seen at all.

Hastily fetching the materials, facing this textbook, Harry was dumbfounded.But there is no other way, I can only bite the bullet and start cooking according to the method written above.

Squeeze the sleepy bean with the back of the knife to get more juice; pour the juice into the crucible, after the potion turns light snow blue, stir it counterclockwise seven times and immediately stir it clockwise, the potion will turn light pink... …

Harry didn't know what the original steps were, but he followed the notes in the book and the color of the potion faded easily. By the time Slughorn asked everyone to stop, the potion was only slightly pink. It will become as clear as water.

One by one, Slughorn checked everyone's results.He didn't make any comments, and occasionally stirred and smelled it, but Harry could see clearly that other people's potions were not as pale pink as his.

Ron's is a pot of paste, Ernie's has a weird smell, and Hermione's is a pot of water...

and many more!
