I, Hogwarts Week Two

Chapter 490 Oily boy

Slughorn finished speaking.

Everyone went to their desks and opened their books.

Unlike the original novel, Harry and Ron knew during the summer that Slughorn would be the new Potions Professor.

And he only requires good results in the OWL exam.

Ron got good grades in both Potions exams.

So both bought themselves textbooks.

The old Half-Blood Prince textbook should still be lying on the bookcase in the corner.

Owen is still somewhat interested in Snape's old textbooks. The reason why he is interested is because he wants to compile and print Snape's old textbooks. The "Advanced Potion Making" used by young wizards now obviously has various problems. Even if it is not for the young wizards, but for his own fame, Snape should do this.

Because it would catapult him into one of the greatest Potions Masters in the wizarding world.

Snape was not someone who was indifferent to fame and wealth. As for why he didn't make his notes public - maybe there were other reasons?

Owen rubbed his chin and had some thoughts in his mind.

"Of course, we all know that love potions cannot create love, they can only create a false attachment. In the past, many wizards have been tripped by demonic infatuation, but don't underestimate this potion. It's probably the most dangerous and powerful drug in this classroom."

Owen returned to class.

On the other side, when Ernie interrupted Slughorn to ask about the golden potion in the last small dry pot on the podium.

"It's Polyjuice Potion, sir," Hermione added.

"Love potion!"

This obviously can't be clear water, so it can only be...

After receiving Slughorn's permission, Owen walked to the lockers on the wall.

Harry didn't know that Slughorn would be the Potions teacher in the new semester.

And his test scores were only good. Snape's advanced class required excellent scores, so Harry in the original story did not buy potions textbooks at all during the summer vacation.

"Oh - I understand." Slughorn said with a smile, looking back and forth between Hermione and Owen, "It seems that someone is helping you with extracurricular tutoring."

Dumbledore knew all this.

As a once sensational and well-known healer, Slughorn had no doubt that Owen was excellent at potions. With such a companion, Miss Granger's excellent potion skills seemed to be explained.

The pages of the book were a little moldy, and there were scrawls all over them, making the blank spaces on each page as dark as the places where the potions were printed.

Owen quickly opened the locker and saw several "Advanced Potion Making" books placed in the corner.

He pointed to the cauldron in front of a Ravenclaw.

"I originally thought that you were uniquely talented in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Charms, and that you might not be as good at Potions as in other subjects. Miss Granger - you are really surprising."

And Slughorn started his lesson. He pushed his already bulging chest forward, and the buttons on his vest were about to burst. "Okay, I've prepared some potions to open your eyes. Of course, it's just out of interest. Wait. You guys should be able to make something like this after completing the advanced course. Although you haven't done it yourself, you must have heard of it. Can anyone tell me what this is?"

After all, they drank it in second grade

"Then - what about this?"

"I guess you young wizards should have many talents that I don't know about. It's really surprising." Slughorn sighed, and then changed the topic back.

"Really?" Owen was a little surprised. Although he couldn't figure out the reason, it was just that if you don't take it, you won't get it.

Hermione's well-trained hand was raised first, and Slughorn pointed at her.

"Lost?" Slughorn was stunned, but he didn't pay much attention. It was normal for little wizards to lose things, but he was a little surprised to lose the textbook on the first day of school.

So he suddenly raised his hand and said, "Professor, I lost my textbook."

"That's right." Slughorn showed sincere admiration at this time, "Then you must know what it is used for."

"Perhaps it was lost during the inspection by the Aurors." Owen unceremoniously threw the blame to the poor Aurors.

"Very good, very good!" Slughorn said happily, "What about the others?"

"Now we start class."

"It's Veritaserum, a colorless, odorless potion that forces those who drink it to tell the truth," Hermione said.

This was a huge help in winning Slughorn's favor later on.

And that old textbook with unlined lines was very conspicuous among the pile of books.

"Okay. There are some old textbooks in the storage cabinet. You can use them first. You can write to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in a few days."

But - it seems that Dumbledore doesn't need to do this anymore.

So he wasn't sure if there was still that old textbook in the cabinet.

"What a surprise." Slughorn praised: "Twenty points to Gryffindor."

Owen is studying the old textbook in his hand carefully.

He wasn't sure if Snape had left any of his old textbooks behind.

Harry also recognized the bubbling, mud-like substance in the second cauldron.

That's why he instructed Snape to keep his old textbooks, knowing that Harry would definitely get them.

"There's nothing professor about this." Hermione felt a little uncomfortable being praised. She glanced in Owen's direction unconsciously and saw him studying the old textbook in his hand.

"Well -" Hermione suddenly felt a little hot. She paused before saying, "The most effective love potion in the world!"

He pointed to the cauldron closest to the Slytherin table, where only clear water was tumbling.

In the original book, Snape should have left his old textbooks behind after being instructed by Dumbledore.

The handwriting is strange - sometimes it's sloppy, sometimes it's very careful.

It's like two people wrote it.

Or written by one person in two moods.

The bottom of the back cover of the book reads: "This book belongs only to the Half-Blood Prince."

It was also a little strange that he didn't remember Snape's signature in the original story. After all, it was too detailed. How could he remember that.

Most of the magic potion recipes in "Advanced Potion Making" have been improved in the book, although the improvements are not huge, such as replacing a single material.

Most of it is about how to handle materials, how many times to stir, the order in which materials are added, and so on.

But the main thing is that there are so many of them that almost all the recipes have been improved.

It was hard to imagine that Snape, who was sixteen or seventeen years old, had such a talent for potions.

When——Slughorn was explaining the elixir to the little wizards, and said that it would use a small bottle of elixir as a prize to the little wizard who was the first to brew a high-quality potion of living hell.

In an instant, everyone was caught in a huge surprise.
