Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

　　 Thursday, September 30, 1993, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

　　On this day, the students in Hogwarts Castle suddenly discovered that the professors today are a little different from the past.

　　 Potions class, the students of the Lion Academy found that Professor Snape had a slightly fascinating smile throughout the class. And in this class, Professor Snape didn't catch the students from the Lion Academy as usual.

　　 When Neville was about to make a mistake, Professor Snape even made a comment, just as he would usually mention Draco Malfoy.

This sudden change made Neville horrified that the potion that should have been stirred clockwise in the cauldron was stirred two times counterclockwise by him, causing him to become the first in the class to perfectly configure the potion. student. So Snape also gave the Lions a point for the first time.

　　 The potions class ended in such an atmosphere that horrified the students of the Lion and Snake Academy.

　　On the way to the cafeteria, the three of Harry met Ginny. Ginny said that the rabbit that Professor McGonagall conjured in today's transfiguration class had a relatively long tail.

　　 Harry and the three were taken aback, and realized that the matter was not simple. With decades of knowledge of transformation techniques taught by McGonagall, it is impossible to make such a mistake.

　　 Combining with Snape's performance just now, the four little wizards got together and muttered, could it be that something happened between Professor McGonagall and Snape? For example, Snape proposed to Professor McGonagall.

　　In the afternoon, Harry and the others couldn't gossip, because they already knew the answer.

　　 In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, it was not the old Professor Lupin who stood on the podium, but the Professor Snape who had never thought of it.

　　 Standing on the podium of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class that he had dreamed of for years, Snape felt that today's Hogwarts sky was a bright sky, and Snape liked it in his heart.

　　 Then Professor Snape began to grab the students of the Lion Academy and fiercely, the points previously given to Neville were doubled back.

　　Worried about Professor Lupin's Harry and they wanted to greet him at dinner. As a result, they did not find Professor Lu Ping in the cafeteria, and even professors such as Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall did not appear in the cafeteria, and even Zhang Xu did not appear at the table. Only Hagrid was on the professor's seat.

　　 The students in the cafeteria quickly discovered this situation and began to talk non-stop.

　　 At the same time, the professors who did not appear in the canteen collectively appeared on the rooftop of the reading room.

　　 In the center of the roof, there is a cauldron that is placed on the fire and constantly steaming.

On the long table next to the big pot, there are a few silver bowls that emit magical light. One of the bowls contained more than half a bowl of blood, and the other bowls contained various herbs-like things.

　　Beside the long table, a humanoid creature that looked like a wolf was sitting on a chair, stretching out his hand and letting Snape standing next to him draw blood with a syringe.

　　 Around the rooftop, there is a circle of sofas and coffee tables. The professors are sitting on the sofa, watching Snape and the werewolf in the middle of the rooftop.

　　 "I think we are going to treat Professor Lu Ping as the main dish tonight." said Zhang Xu, who was eating a piece of white lotus seed paste and double yellow mooncakes.

　　 "It seems that the pot is not big enough." Dumbledore said while biting on a sweet and greasy rose bean paste moon cake.

　　 Lupin, who turned into a werewolf sitting on a chair, had taken medicine before, and now he can understand the conversation between Zhang Xu and Dumbledore while remaining sane.

　　 Lupin grinned reluctantly, but with his current werewolf state, a smile can scare people into tears.

　　 Snape drew a syringe of Lupin's blood when he was in the werewolf state, and put it into a bowl prepared in advance.

　　 Then it was time for Potions Master Snape to perform.

　　 The cauldron placed on the fire is a potion that has been boiled for half a month.

　　 After half a month of constant addition of medicinal materials and water for boiling, now the potion has shown a strange yellow color.

　　 Snape first poured a bowl of blood drawn when Lupin had not changed into a werewolf into the pot, and then used a wand to stir it up with a stick.

　　 Then Snape looked at the timing and put the remaining herbs in the pot for the next hour or so.

　　 The professors around, as well as Lupin, who was sitting on the side, were watching Snape working the potion like flowing water. No one said a word for fear of disturbing him.

　　 When Snape poured the blood from Lupin on the table into a werewolf into the pot, and then stirred it thoroughly, the entire pharmaceutical process came to the last and most important step.

Snape picked up the lid of the pot from the table next to it. After closing the lid, he tightened it with a "pop". After confirming that the handle on the lid was aligned with the handle on the pot body, he finally put the pressure limiting valve on the pot. Cover the exhaust pipe.

　　 Then Snape cast a magic on the pot body of the pressure cooker. After the pot body became transparent, the color of the potion inside could be seen.

　　 The werewolf antidote developed this time has two major problems in its production.

　　 One is to add the blood of the person taking the medicine on the day without the moon ~www.readwn.com~ and the blood of the werewolf on the night of the full moon when making the potion.

　　 In the past, magic was used to preserve blood. As a result, it was easy to cause blood to be affected by magical energy within half a month, causing blood pollution to a certain level.

　　 This time, I changed to using ice cubes to store the blood at a low temperature to avoid blood contamination.

　　 Another problem was discovered only recently. Some potion materials only react with other potions when the temperature is higher than 110 degrees Celsius.

　　According to the past method, the open crucible used in the past cannot heat the medicine inside to this temperature.

　　 Not to mention that Hogwarts is located in the Scottish Highlands. The boiling point of water is usually not even 100 degrees Celsius.

　　 So this time I used a double-happiness pressure cooker that Zhang Xu bought from a supermarket in London. The hand-made bronze carved dragon hot pot presented to Nixon who was visiting China as a national gift was made by this manufacturer.

　　 Soon, through the pot body that was turned transparent by magic, you could see that the potion in the pressure cooker began to gradually change its color.

　　 When the moon went to the sky, the medicine began to emit a faint fluorescence, which represented the successful production of the medicine.

　　 When the brightness of the fluorescence in the potion no longer increased, Snape moved the pressure cooker to the table and began to cool the pressure cooker.

　　 After the pressure in the pressure cooker dropped, Snape opened the lid.

　　 At this time, the perspective magic on the pot has been lifted, the medicine in the pressure cooker emits light green fluorescence, and the water vapor is constantly rising under the irradiation of the fluorescence.

　　 Snape used a spoon to scoop the slightly viscous, fluorescent, light green potion in the pressure cooker into the cup, then took the cup and walked to Lupin.

　　 "Drink, Lupin—this is the fate of the werewolf."
