Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Monday morning, another Potions class.

Stephen and Rowan arrived at the Potions classroom early having learned many lessons over the past two weeks.

Stephen opened the Potions textbook and previewed the content of the lesson that Snape would teach later.

According to the custom of four lessons in two weeks, he will enjoy the treatment of Harry the Savior.

Merula and the two girls who had followed her walked into the classroom, and then Merula left the two of them and walked to sit opposite Stephen.

After a while, other students also entered the classroom.

"Stephen, you're going to make a fool of yourself again later." Merula looked at Stephen gloatingly, knowing that her "partner" would receive special attention from Snape.

Stephen glanced at Merula. He felt that this girl was really endless, so he simply ignored her and continued to read his book.

Seeing that Stephen was not going to respond to her taunt, Merula took out her wand and waved it at Stephen's book. Stephen felt something was wrong in his gut and threw the book in front of Merula.

"Bang" the book made a blasting sound and burned. Stephen reluctantly took out his wand and extinguished the flames.

"Ms. Snyder, I thought you wouldn't cause any explosions after two weeks." Snape arrived before he arrived, and then his figure curled up into a black shadow and came directly from the door. Podium.

Snape waved his hand, and the door and curtains were all closed with his movement, and the usual gloomy atmosphere spread in the classroom. He opened the textbook and glanced at the people in the classroom, "Five points from Ravenclaw. I think your college is missing one person."

Stephen looked around, there were indeed fewer people, and Jason Brooke had not arrived. Since he was in another dormitory, Stephen didn't know him very well.

Snape said in his low tone: "I will remind your headmaster later, so that no one will think that they can skip my class for no reason. Stephen, please answer the ingredients used in the scabies treatment potion."

Stephen felt that Snape was a little strange today. Snape passed this opportunity that could deduct a lot of points so lightly, "Professor Snape, making a scabies treatment potion requires crushing snake fangs and slugs with tentacles." "

Snape looked at Stephen, his dark eyes without any emotion, "What are the side effects of the refreshing potion?"

"Both ears can spray steam, Professor." Stephen glanced around. Others had already followed suit and took notes when Snape started to ask questions.

"What about the ingredients?" Snape said without any praise as usual. As for extra points, that was not something that other houses except Slytherin needed to expect. It is better to expect Merlin to be reborn than to expect Snape to add points to other houses.

Stephen felt that he had better not try any tricks, otherwise Snape would seize this opportunity and give him a penalty package, "ginger, moondew flowers, mistletoe berries, and mint."

"What else can moondew flowers be used for?" Snape continued to ask.

Stephen was glad that he also took a look at the additional functions of these materials, "One of the materials for the awakening agent."

"There is also the Living Hell Potion." Strangely, Snape did not say anything about deducting points, "And what you are going to learn in this class is the Refreshing Potion."

Snape pulled down the white curtain on the wall of the podium and pointed at the curtain with his wand. An introduction to the refreshing potion appeared on it. The refreshing potion can be used to treat colds and make people feel warm. After taking it, it will cause steam to come out of the ears. . This potion was invented by Grover Hipworth.

"Wizards are also human beings, so wizards will also suffer from some Muggle diseases. But our advantage over those Muggles is that we can quickly cure ourselves with potions." There was no emotion in Snape's voice. Just say what you want to say calmly.

"Elevator was invented by Glover Shipworth between the mid-to-late 18th and early 19th centuries, but the potion is based on a 12th-century recipe invented by Linfred of Stinchcombe. .....”

Stephen noticed that Snape's face seemed to twist when he mentioned Linfred. He was a little curious about who Linfred was, so that Snape, who had previously been expressionless, could actually have an expression.

"I think it would be a good idea to ask Rowan after class." Stephen felt that Rowan must know Linfred.

"The preparation of this potion is quite simple, as long as there are no fools who don't do it as I say..." Snape described the preparation of the refreshing potion, and then let everyone watch him make it again, and then let the little wizard We started practicing it ourselves.

Stephen prepared the potion according to the steps taught by Snape. After two weeks of practice with him and Rowan, the method described by Snape was simpler than the one in the textbook, and the quality of the potion was also slightly better.

However, compared to the content in the book that Harry discovered ten years later, the improvement was not that great. From this point of view, Snape spent a lot of time gradually perfecting the notes in the book. He probably wanted to leave a considerable wealth of knowledge to those who discovered the book in the future.

"Humph, Stephen, your method completely goes against the steps in the textbook." Merula started again.

Stephen didn't even want to raise his head, but looked intently at the potion he was gradually taking shape.

"Okay" Stephen took the potion into a large test tube, then put it into the prepared pot of water and continued to heat it. Snape, who had been watching Stephen's movements, walked over, looked at him, and left without saying anything.

"It seems that water bath heating is also feasible in the magic world." Stephen verified his conjecture, took out his pocket watch and looked at it. After a minute, he took out the test tube and poured it into the medicine bottle.

"Merula, teaching materials also need to be constantly updated, just like knowledge needs to be updated." Stephen shook the potion bottle in his hand. It seemed to be in good condition.

Snape saw Stephen coming over again after finishing it, "Bring it here."

Stephen handed the potion in his hand to Snape. Snape glanced at it and handed it to Stephen, "Compared to those stupid methods your brother used before, it's not bad."

The other students looked in Stephen's direction with surprised expressions. Merlin was the one on top, and Snape actually said it was okay.

Merula glared at Stephen, put her own potion into the potion bottle, and shook it. Although the quality of the potion made according to the textbook is consistent with the standard of the textbook, it is obviously inferior to Stephen's.

Snape took one look and left without saying anything. Merula looked at Stephen with a bad expression, but she stopped talking after looking at her potion.

After class, the little wizards walked out of the classroom and discussed what Snape had just said was okay.

Rowan immediately approached Stephen. Stephen looked at the other side and found that Martin had also approached him.
