[HP+Shenxia] Unexpected encounter
Chapter 14 Potions Lesson
The Potions classroom is located in the basement of Hogwarts, the air is cold and humid, and the shelves near the wall are filled with all kinds of potion materials - the guts of bats, the poisonous needles of Billy bugs, the mouths of roosters, crocodiles The heart and various other specimens.
The three of Aurora noticed the obviously pale faces and trembling shoulders of some timid young freshmen at the moment, but none of them were afraid. Elvira studied medicine in her previous life, and Aurora and Christie refined For the pills and formations, even more disgusting materials were used, but the effect was extraordinary afterward, not to mention the formalin soaked that Aurora saw in Sherlock's room, some parts of a certain corpse used for the experiment .
When the three arrived in the classroom, the middle and back rows were already full of people. According to the rumors heard in the past few days, the freshmen must have been taught by the seniors that Snape is terrible.
The three of Aurora sat in the front seat, dumbfounded. They just felt that it was the same as in the university. When they encountered a class they didn't want to attend, everyone sat back and moved forward row by row.Aurora put the things away, and Christie on the right raised her eyebrows, "Remember to sort out the steps and take notes later before making the potion. Call me immediately if there is anything wrong."
That's right, Christie sat down next to Aurora very cowardly.Although Christie was able to brew basic potions, facing the cold-faced Snape, it was difficult for her to make mistakes. The classroom was so big, and Snape couldn't take care of all the students every second. , if there is really something wrong with my potion, I will be the one who gets hurt in the end. After all, I really have no talent for potion science.
"Understood." Christie said reluctantly, seeing Sonny's curious gaze and explained: "I don't have the talent for potions. If something goes wrong, I can ask Aurora to help deal with the failed potion. In the future If you have any questions about potions, you can go to her, you are very good at potions."
Aurora nodded to Sonny, agreed with Christie's statement, and indicated that if Sonny didn't mind, he could come to him if he had any problems.
The school bell rang.Almost at the same moment, the classroom door slammed open, and Snape walked into the classroom quickly. He stopped on the podium, turned around and looked around.
The scariest potions professor in the history of Hogwarts held a roll call and called them one by one in a deep voice.Aurora trembled when she heard some answers, probably they managed to interpret the deepness as gloomy in this potion classroom with many specimens.
After Snape called, he looked up at the class. His eyes were cold, making you think of two dark tunnels and an ice cellar.
"You have come here to learn the delicate science and exacting craft of potion-making. Since there are no foolish wands waving here, many of you will not believe it is magic. I do not expect you to really grasp The beauty of the slow-simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursts of fragrance, you will not really understand the magical power of the liquid flowing into people's blood vessels, which makes people's hearts sway and their minds blurred. I can teach you how to improve Prestige, brewing glory, even preventing death - but only if you're not one of the dumb fools I've come across so often," said Professor Snape. "But then again, before you come to Hogwarts, some of you may already be capable and full of self-confidence, and you don't bother to listen carefully."
Hermione hurriedly pushed Harry, and immediately, Snape walked towards Harry slowly, "Mr. Potter, our new celebrity, answer me, what will you get if you add daffodil root powder to wormwood infusion?" Haha Leigh shook his head, "I don't know? Well, let's try again, Mr. Potter, where can you find me a piece of bezoar?"
"I don't know, sir."
"What's the difference between the boat-shaped aconitum and the wolfbane aconitum?"
"I don't know, sir."
"Unfortunately, it seems that fame is not everything, is it, Mr. Potter?"
"Hermione obviously knows, it's a pity not to ask her." Harry curled his lips, and the students couldn't help it, and began to laugh softly.
Aurora smiled and watched Snape trouble Harry. She was watching the show, but she didn't expect the fire to burn herself in the next second.
"Quiet." Snape stared at Harry, and the classroom immediately became very quiet again, only the sound of potion boiling could be heard, and Snape suddenly walked towards Aurora, "Then, Holmes Miss."
"Yes." Aurora answered subconsciously and looked at Snape in a daze, didn't you want to trouble your rival's son?What are you calling me for?
"Miss Holmes, I found that you seem to have been very happy today, that is to say, you know all the questions I asked, so now tell the great Mr. Potter the answer." I found out, and you better be able to answer it, so as not to embarrass Slytherin in front of Gryffindor!
The corner of Aurora's eyes twitched, Snape couldn't mess with finding fault, let alone in his class now.Aurora thought about the three questions just now and answered: "Yes, professor. The combination of daffodil root powder and wormwood can make a powerful sleeping pill, also called life and death water. Bezoar is obtained from the stomach of goats. A kind of stone taken from the plant has a strong detoxification effect. As for the boat-shaped aconitum and chamaejasma aconitum, they are the same plant, and they are collectively called aconitum.”
Snape raised his eyebrows, not surprised, he could smell the residual potion on his magic robe, so he couldn't even answer such a basic question, "Then, in order to prove that the answer just answered is not a coincidence, forget How is the potion prepared?"
"...To prepare Wangchuan river water, mistletoe berries, and valerian, first put 2 drops of Wangchuan river water into the crucible and heat for 20 seconds, then put 2 parts of valerian into the crucible, then stir clockwise for 3 circles, and wait. During this period, put 2 parts of the standard ingredients and 4 parts of mistletoe berries into the mortar, grind them, add the two parts of the powder into the crucible, and stir 5 times counterclockwise." Amidst Christie's gloating and everyone's sympathy, Aurora looked bitterly Snape glanced at him, did this person fight him, or did he really want to take revenge on him for pissing him off last time?
Snape was uncomfortable with Aurora's eyes, "Slytherin plus five points. So, why don't you all write these down? Or do you know all of them? Besides, Gryffindor students, Because your classmates contradicted the teacher, you will be deducted five points."
After finishing speaking, all the little lions and little snakes lowered their heads in fright and hurriedly opened their notebooks and began to record the amnesiac potion and the boat-shaped aconite and wolfbane aconitum that they saw no difference?Since they are all aconite, why should they be so clearly distinguished, the cubs can't help but spread their hands, expressing their helplessness.
"Huh?" Aurora felt Christie poking herself.
Christie reasoned over the notebook with some notes, "I didn't remember what you just said."
"Listen to the class first, and memorize the contents on the blackboard. I'll sort it out for you after class." Aurora pushed the notebook back, signaling Christie to listen carefully to Snape's lecture.
In this lesson, students need to prepare a potion for treating scabies.Christie also heaved a sigh of relief. He had successfully prepared it before, and it should not fail without accidents.
Aurora and Elvira are in a group, and Christie is in a group with Sonny.
Aurora and Elvira processed the materials first, steamed the slugs with tentacles, and ground the fangs of the snakes into powder.Elvira ignited the fire and threw the dried xanthus and ground snake teeth into the cauldron to simmer together, "Two ten minutes. Aurora, please note the time, I'm afraid I will forget."
"No problem....Time is up." Aurora put the slug into the crucible, "It will be ready in 5 minutes, turn off the flame after 5 minutes, then add the porcupine spines and stir clockwise for 5 circles."
At this moment, the cauldron of Neville's group exploded, and Aurora used an armor to protect herself and Elvira, and looked at Christie who also used an armor to protect herself, "Don't worry! Don't mess around, it doesn't matter if you slow down, just follow the steps."
Looking in Neville's direction, he didn't expect his cauldron to leak. The hot liquid quickly dripped down the table legs to the ground, and many students' shoes were corroded by the potion.A few seconds later, all the students were standing on their chairs, except Neville, who had gotten into trouble, and was screaming in pain as he watched the reddish-purple scabies grow rapidly on the skin splashed by the potion.
"Idiot!" growled Professor Snape, swiping the potion with a wave of his wand. "I think you probably put the porcupine quills in without taking the cauldron off the heat, didn't you? The blackboard and your book have instructions for taking the pot off the heat before you put the porcupine quills in! If you Can't remember, why don't you watch them operate step by step? Five points from Gryffindor!"
Neville burst into tears, he was already very embarrassed, the potion of failure soaked his clothes, causing red and swollen boils all over his exposed skin, and he looked even worse after being scolded like this desolate.
"Take him up to the medical wing," Snape snapped at Simon Snaway's crew.
"Avella! Don't look, the time has passed, quickly put the porcupine quill in." When Avella turned her head, she saw that Aurora had extinguished the flame of the crucible.
"Oh oh oh." Elvira quickly put the porcupine quill in her hand into the crucible, and stirred it clockwise 5 times in a slight panic.
"Don't be in a hurry, the more you are in a hurry, the easier it is to make mistakes." Aurora frowned as she watched Elvira's flustered movements, and put the potion into the crystal bottle after the potion in the crucible cooled and settled.
After filling the potion into the crystal bottle, he secretly observed Christie's movements while tidying up the utensils on the table, and found that her operation was not perfect, but there would be no major problems.It seemed that she was not affected by Neville's explosion of the cauldron, so Aurora breathed a sigh of relief and turned her attention away from Christie.
After class, all the students had to hand in their potion results, and when Aurora and Elvira handed over their light yellow potion to the podium, Elvira stared nervously at Snape.
Snape squinted his eyes for a closer look, and gave his comment: "The initial preparation of the materials is okay, but the porcupine quills were placed late, and the subsequent stirring speed was too fast, so the effect of the potion was not very good, but if only It can be used for mild symptoms. It is barely qualified."
Snape wrote an A on the names of Aurora and Christie without haste, and then watched Aurora's reflection out of the corner of his eye.Snape still remembered the last time Aurora asked him to recommend a book about potions, so Snape also paid some attention to Aurora's performance when brewing potions.Naturally knowing that the mistake in this bottle of potion was caused by the mistakes of the team members, Snape wanted to know, in front of the professor, would Aurora blame her companions for the mistakes or would she bear the responsibility.
Elvira pulled Aurora's sleeve guiltily, "Aurora, I'm sorry, if it wasn't for me..."
"It's okay." Aurora patted Elvira's hand, "Compared with perfect potions, I hope to find problems when making potions. After all, problems can be solved and mistakes can be corrected. And it's not perfect. Only when the potion is made will it be impressive, and the problem will be avoided next time."
"Thank you, Professor. Let's go, Christie should be waiting for us outside." After finishing speaking, he pulled Elvira away.
Snape, who was still in the cellar, looked at Aurora who was leaving and muttered to himself, "Only by finding a problem can we solve it."
The three of Aurora noticed the obviously pale faces and trembling shoulders of some timid young freshmen at the moment, but none of them were afraid. Elvira studied medicine in her previous life, and Aurora and Christie refined For the pills and formations, even more disgusting materials were used, but the effect was extraordinary afterward, not to mention the formalin soaked that Aurora saw in Sherlock's room, some parts of a certain corpse used for the experiment .
