Chapter 40 Potion Improvement Attempt

To some extent, Professor Snape's character has been figured out by these students.

Noah looked around the classroom.

Among the twelve members, including him, there are four Slytherins in total. Of the remaining eight, six are Ravenclaws and two are Hufflepuffs.

No Gryffindor.

I don't know if he was infected by other colleges in the college. He is now very concerned about Gryffindor.

This probably...is not a good sign.

After Professor Snape reprimanded them, he just asked these students to clean the classroom after explaining the activities.

He started class.

He raised his hand, a chain was hanging by his ear, he grabbed it and pulled it.

A white curtain fell behind him, which turned out to be a projector.

With a delicate expression, Noah watched the light cast from nowhere hit the white curtain, and the familiar teaching PPT began to appear.

Professor Snape is really up to date.

Noah was in awe of Snape for a moment. It is indeed admirable for wizards to have the courage to accept Muggle things. After all, even Dumbledore would not introduce the convenient technology of Muggles.

Like brighter lights.

Snape is not the superfluous thoughts of Noah at the moment, he doesn't think there is any problem with using teaching PPT.

"The theme of our activity this time is still potion improvement." He paused at this point, and glanced at Noah, "We have a new member today, so we will study in groups of two."

"Now, you have 10 minutes to prepare your respective crucibles and materials."

The crucible was not the crucible they brought with them at the beginning of school, but a unified standard crucible provided by Professor Snape.

Different potions require different crucibles to brew, so Snape also directly contracted their crucibles and potion materials.

Those are put in the locker at the back of the classroom, they just have to go and get them.

But relatively speaking, cleaning the classroom naturally also includes cleaning these crucibles...

The other members quickly found each other's teammates. They were very familiar with each other and formed a group quickly without much communication.

Only one lone Slytherin went straight to Noah.

"Leonard Lu." The visitor introduced himself to Noah, "Let me join you."

"I'm……"

"Noah Lannister." Louie said his name before Noah could speak. "I've heard of a first-year called a 'genius'."

His tone of speech is a bit slow, which makes him feel very gentle, and it is easy to make people feel good.

Noah took a careful look at him: "Then please leave it to the senior."

Lu led him to the cabinet at the back of the classroom: "You may not have heard of potion improvement, this is knowledge that senior students may not be exposed to, so you only need to watch this event carefully, Of course, you can ask questions if you want to know anything.”

Noah nodded: "I see."

He is quite satisfied with his attitude, at least he is sure that Noah is not the kind of guy who is extremely arrogant because of his talent.

Under Lu's command, Noah took some materials. As for the crucible, it was all selected by Lu.

The two put their things away, and when they looked up at the PPT, there was already a list of potion formulas on it.

Noah glanced at it and firmly remembered what was on it.

It was indeed not a potion that could be learned in the first year, but Professor Snape obviously would not give him small lessons or individual guidance just because he had just joined, and in his opinion, arranging a teammate was probably the greatest help.

Noah didn't care either, he was confident enough to keep up with the progress of others as soon as possible.

"Should we try to boil the potion first, or start trying to improve it?" Noah has already picked up the first required material.

On the way to memorize the recipe, he glanced at him subconsciously: "This potion is a kind of potion that I learned in the third grade. I brewed it before, and I have a little immature idea. But you can try it first to get familiar with it."

Noah graciously put the first plant-based material into the pot, then lit the fire, adjusted the size of the flame, and began to boil the material step by step.

He doesn't know enough about the potion ingredients now, and it's just nonsense to improve things. Although there is a lot of knowledge in the book, the in-depth characteristics of potions are still too superficial. Not bad.

So Noah calmed down, didn't make any extra fuss, and followed the recipe honestly.

What Snape saw when he walked up to him was the scene of him pouring the potion in a standard manner.

"I have a good memory." He said impatiently, "but I remember that my request was to improve potions."

"Sorry, professor." Although Noah apologized, he continued to put the ingredients into the potion in his hand.

Snape snorted coldly and walked to the next table.

Lu thoughtfully glanced at Noah, who was still expressionless, and said, "Professor Snape is very optimistic about you."

What Snape said just now seemed to be teasing him, but it was actually reminding Noah and the others not to waste time.Now that Noah has firmly memorized the formula, there is no need to waste time making standard potions.

This shows that Professor Snape believes that Noah can successfully brew this potion once and for all.

Even Professor Snape acknowledged his "genius".

Lu picked up the ingredients that did not exist in the formula as if nothing had happened: "Common antidote is a relatively common antidote, because common poisons can be counteracted by this medicine. Because the formula is relatively simple, there are already many antidotes. An improved version of .

"However, because the formula has been improved, the effect is not the same." Lu explained to Noah seriously, "My improvement this time is also inspired by an improved version."

The recipe for a common cure consists of bezoars, mistletoe berries, unicorn horn (silver), and a standard ingredient.

The standard ingredient is a compounding material, which includes a variety of mitigating materials, and is also a commonly used compounding material for potions.

The improvement Lu came up with was to add ginger root along with the mistletoe berries.

Oh, it's ginger.

However, unlike ordinary ginger, this ginger has certain magical properties, and the taste will be more pungent than Muggle ginger.

But this cannot deny the fact that it is a piece of ginger. Wizards even use this material to make gingerbread or ginger newt biscuits, which are ginger biscuits that look like salamanders and move.

Ginger has many uses and can be used in many medicines, such as a potion for treating "scabies".The detoxification effect is not obvious.

But Noah didn't speak, just waited for Lu to crush the ginger root and add it to the cauldron
