Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 42

Hermione stood outside Professor Alchemy's office for a while before she came to her senses, "If there is such a thing as a support club in Hogwarts like in the Muggle world, I think Vanessa must be Ollivander's support President of the meeting."

After muttering a few words, Hermione politely knocked on the door and walked in.

She came here this time not only to ask Professor Ollivander to comment on her thesis, but also to inquire about the news about compound decoction.

As a second-year student, it was quite a challenge for Hermione to cook Polyjuice Potion by herself, and there were some things she didn't quite understand yet.

"Professor." Hermione obediently came to sit down in front of Hardy, and then placed the paper in front of him.

"Good afternoon, Miss Granger, I'm very glad to see that both you and Vanessa have shown a strong interest in alchemy." Hardy picked up the paper, "Would you like some bitter melon and durian juice?"

He waved his wand with his left hand, and a large glass bottle of yellow-green liquid bubbled and slowly landed on the small table, "This is a new model at the Three Broomsticks."

"Thank you." Hermione tentatively picked up the cup and took a sip, and then her brows were completely knit together, "Oh, my God, this taste...it's so good...it's great..."

She put down the glass in a panic, wiped the yellow-green liquid overflowing from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, then rolled her throat vigorously, and then swallowed what was in her mouth.

Taking advantage of Hardy's inattention, she pushed the water glass in front of her away.

"This is a paper on the origins of the development of Alchemy Formation..." Hardy didn't notice Hermione's small movements, "It can be seen that Miss Granger has referred to a lot of magic manuscripts and alchemy monographs."

Spreading a few pieces of parchment on the table, Hardy took a quill and outlined a few places, "For the development of alchemy in the Middle Ages, you can refer to the classic "The Big Bang of Alchemy in the Middle Ages" for these suggestions."

Hardy said: "I know, you have seen "Alchemy: A Wonderful History" in the library, but the records in that book about the Middle Ages are seriously inaccurate."

In just a few minutes, Hardy filled Hermione's paper with annotations. At this time, Hermione finally knew why Vanessa was so moved that she cried.

Professor Ollivander paid too much attention to their thesis, this feeling, it's like...like...

Hermione couldn't find a suitable thing to compare it to for a while, but she couldn't help thinking of it in her head again—it was as if they were planning the future room arrangement together.

"Oh my god, wake up, Hermione, what are you thinking about, you're not Vanessa!"

Shaking her head vigorously, Hermione closed her eyes, and even poured another mouthful of bitter melon and durian juice into her mouth.

"It seems that Miss Granger likes this new model from the Three Broomsticks?" Hardy asked suddenly.

"Yes... yes, the taste is really unique..." Hermione pursed her lips, "If there is an alchemy product that can make juice anytime and anywhere, it would be such a wonderful thing."

Hardy continued to look at the other party's paper, "Miss Granger likes to use alchemy to realize this idea?"

Hermione thought for a while, then replied anxiously, "This is one aspect, maybe... it can also facilitate the production of potions?"

"Such as Veritaserum, Raw Bone Medicine, Baixian, Felicia, and... Compound Potion." Hermione glanced at Hardy secretly, "Think about it, as long as you put the raw materials in the container, you will soon It can be done automatically.”

After reviewing Hermione's thesis, Hardy nodded, "This idea is very innovative. To be honest, in practice, there are many possibilities for connecting alchemy courses and any other courses. This is exactly the essence of alchemy. The charm."

Hermione wanted to bring the conversation up to Polyjuice Potion, but after a few tries, Hardy automatically jumped to revising her thesis.

This made her feel a little guilty, "God, I'm still thinking about getting information from Professor Ollivander, but he has been talking about my thesis seriously."

Hermione raised her head, blinked her eyes, and secretly looked at the handsome young man in front of her.

After more than 20 minutes, Hermione finally left with the paper and a long list of references.

……

The time has come to the end of October, and the weather has turned cooler.

Because of the occurrence of the two attacks, the little wizards were panicked, colds were spreading among the crowd, and many people were sick.

Since Ron Weasley overslept in Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class, there have been three or four little wizards one after another, and this has happened.

"Oh, Weasley always seems to have a unique leadership style in these areas." When a hapless little wizard was late for Snape's potions class, he commented so.

"Today, let's talk about how to make the potion." Snape walked quickly to Harry's side, and mercilessly pulled a few hairs from the other's head, "This potion also needs to use Wizard's hair."

After Snape walked away, Hermione whispered, "What happened to Professor Snape recently, this is the third time he has pulled your hair..."

"I want to know too, oh my god, he pulls so much at once, I feel like I'm going bald..." Harry kept rubbing his head.

Thursday afternoon.

Snape started explaining the making of the Bloating Potion in Potions class, which finally no longer needed Harry's hair, which made the other party heave a rare sigh of relief.

When the little wizards in the class followed Snape's explanation and began to boil the swelling potion in the cauldron in front of them, Ron quietly threw the teasing firecrackers he got from the Weasley twins into Malfoy's cauldron .

"Bang" sound.

The liquid in Malfoy's cauldron exploded on the spot, splashing all over the classroom, everyone screamed, and the scene fell into chaos for a while.

"Calm down! Calm down! Anyone splashed with the swelling potion come to me!" Snape yelled from the classroom.

Hermione seized the opportunity and slipped out immediately under the cover of Harry and Ron, and finally slipped back when Snape was treating Malfoy, whose nose was swollen like a baguette.

"How's it going, Hermione?" Harry couldn't help asking, and then he smirked when he saw Malfoy's funny face.

"Everything is going well." Hermione patted the thing under the wizard's robe, "Ron, you really have it."

Ron straightened his chest proudly, "Who told him to call you a mudblood before, I finally avenged this revenge today."

Afterwards, Snape found the fragments of the firecrackers from Malfoy's cauldron, "If you let me know who threw it, I will definitely fire this person!"

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared up at the ceiling of the classroom together, with a look of "don't ask me, I don't know anything".

For the next two weeks, Dumbledore and others searched for Slytherin's secret room, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

But at present, they still agree with Hardy's statement——

The monster that Slytherin left behind in the Chamber of Secrets was a basilisk that moved by means of ventilation ducts throughout Hogwarts.

After experiencing the attack of the basilisk, Hardy also got his wish and changed to a larger lounge. According to Dumbledore, it is convenient for Hardy to conduct research on alchemy creations.

The other party may have discovered something from the leftovers of making the Demon Gathering Cup, but he didn't point it out, and Hardy very cooperatively kept silent about it.

On this day, he was observing the unique formation formation structure in the Gathering Cup, but suddenly found something at the bottom.

It was a crystalline object like an emerald, lying quietly in the deepest part of the original liquid.

After a simple observation, Hardy discovered that it was an egg.

A snake egg!
