Hogwarts: I am the White Lord

Chapter 219 Snape's good intentions

With the morning sunshine, Harry got off the Knight Bus, ignored the dirty and messy environment around him, and walked towards the end of Spinner's End Alley as if he was familiar with the place.

After the holiday, Harry only rested for two short days before returning to his life of studying potions with Snape.

Even so, he didn't feel it was hard at all, but rather enjoyed it.

To be honest, Harry never quite understood why Ron was afraid of Professor Snape.

In his opinion, although Professor Snape has a serious expression, he teaches seriously and speaks nicely, which makes people really like him.

Anyway, I'm quite happy learning Potions with Professor Snape.

By the way, Professor Snape said yesterday that his Potions level has reached the standard of sixth graders.

Starting today, I will teach myself to brew a particularly complex potion.

I wonder what that magic potion is?

look forward to!

dong dong dong-

As the door opened, a unique fragrance immediately filled the air.

Harry took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on his face.

That's it!

The aroma of potions and herbs mixed together is quite pleasant.

"Good morning, Professor."

The corners of Snape's mouth curved slightly, and then he nodded slightly, and took Harry to the studio and came to the workbench where potions were brewed.

The workbench was covered with all sorts of potions ingredients, some that Harry had seen before, some that were completely unfamiliar.

Looking closely, Harry was surprised to find that most of these potion materials were very valuable.

Is this the material for the potion we are teaching today?

So expensive!

"This potion is this year's birthday present," Snape said evenly, "I thought you would be interested."

He waved his wand gently, and a thick potion book flew in front of Harry and automatically turned to a certain page.

Harry looked down and saw the formula for "Buffy's Brain Stimulant" written in neat handwritten letters on the page. The description of the potion's effects made Harry's heart beat faster.

It can greatly enhance the drinker's brain power, improve memory and concentration!

So powerful!

This potion is tailor-made for all students.

Harry could guarantee that if he took this potion to Hogwarts, the fifth and seventh years would go crazy.

Snape's voice sounded faintly: "I looked at your grades in various subjects and found that you got almost full marks in practical exercises."

"But he is a little weak in questions that require memorization, which is particularly evident in History of Magic and Astronomy."

"Your partner, Miss Granger, fares much better when it comes to memory."

Uh (⊙o⊙)......

Does the professor mean that he is dissatisfied with his poor memory?

Harry scratched his head sheepishly.

There's nothing I can do. My memory can't compare to Hermione's, or rather, it's completely crushed.

Harry even suspected that Hermione's magical talent was her super memory.

Otherwise, how can you remember all the contents of a book just by reading it?

"You will be in your third year when school starts," Snape continued, "and with elective courses, your study load will be even heavier."

"Bafe's brain-stimulating potion can make your study easier. Of course, it's just easier."

"This potion cannot turn a fool into a genius instantly. It can only improve memory by about one-fifth at best."

"Okay, take a closer look at the potion formula."

Improve your memory by one fifth? !

Enough is enough!

For me, any improvement can make me feel a lot more relaxed.

Harry calmed down, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts, and read the potion formula carefully.

so complicated!

Looks a lot more complicated than last year's Polyjuice Potion.

Is this really a potion recipe that a human could come up with?

Looking at this complicated formula, Harry couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his palms.

"However, as it is said in the book," Snape reminded in a serious tone, his eyes staring at Harry as sharp as an eagle: "The production process of this potion is extremely complicated, and the materials are extremely expensive. The slightest mistake can lead to disastrous consequences."

"Disastrous consequences? Professor, what do you mean?"

"It will cause brain damage." Snape's voice was so cold that Harry couldn't help but shiver.

"The failure rate of Bafe's brain-awakening potion is very high. As long as it is not brewed to perfection, it is possible to overexcite the user's brain and cause brain damage."

"So, a long time ago, the Ministry of Magic banned the sale of this potion to prevent inferior products from entering the market and harming people."

"As far as I know, there are several idiots in St. Mungo's Hospital who had to stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for a long time for treatment because their brains were damaged after drinking the inferior Buffy's brain-awakening potion."

I see......

Listening to Snape's account of the history of Buffy's mind-awakening potion, Harry suddenly realized.

No wonder I have never seen Bafei's brain-stimulating medicine on the market. It turns out there is such a deep reason.

Fortunately, Professor Snape is here, so I will definitely not drink inferior potions and damage my brain.

"Harry, I'll make it first, and you come and help me. Remember to observe my material processing techniques carefully."

Snape asked Harry to stand aside, picked up the potion materials on the workbench and began to work on them.

He expertly chopped the silver leaves into small pieces and put them into the crucible.

The water in the crucible had been preheated for a long time and was now bubbling slightly. When the silver leaf entered, the liquid immediately turned light green.

Comparing the contents of the book, Harry knew that this was the correct response.

Then Snape added the chopped agave. He lightly roasted the chopped leaves over the flame for a few seconds and quickly added them to the crucible. The liquid immediately emitted a shining golden light.

However, this is just the beginning.

The real challenge lies in mixing the moonstone powder and the blood-red crystal powder. These two materials react easily. If they are not operated in the correct order and precise proportion, the entire potion will get out of control in an instant.

"Remember, Harry," Snape said coldly, his eyes never leaving the crucible, "you must stir it counterclockwise for seven times, then clockwise for three times. When you stir it counterclockwise for the last time, slowly pour in the blood-red crystal powder. If you make the slightest mistake, the entire potion will be ruined."

Harry tried desperately to remember Snape's various techniques, watching him perform the operation step by step until the blood-red crystal powder was poured into the crucible.

The liquid in the crucible made a slight humming sound, as if some mysterious magical reaction was occurring.

The liquid gradually became thicker, its color slowly changed from light green to a dark purple, and it emitted a strange glow.

"Harry, prepare four servings of fresh frog brains now."

Hearing this, Harry did not dare to delay. He skillfully processed the frog and took out four brains.

Snape whispered, "You must wait until the purple color is completely stable before adding the frog brain. Otherwise, it will be a failure."

Snape stretched out his wand, and four portions of frog brains flew smoothly into the crucible. In an instant, the potion seemed to be ignited, and bursts of steam came out.

Harry held his breath and looked at the remaining magical materials, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It's so complicated...

There are still a lot of ingredients that have not been used, and I don’t know how long it will take to cook.

Seeing that the reaction in the crucible was gradually slowing down, Harry quickly concentrated and watched Snape's next move.

As the morning passed slowly, a trace of sweat began to seep out of Snape's forehead.

After complicated brewing, the medicine in the crucible was completely stabilized and finally took on a pure green luster.
