Chapter 742： Life and death

() "Of course, highly skilled pharmacists can induce strong affection, but so far no one has been able to create a truly unbreakable, eternal, unconditional emotion that can be called 'love'. This is probably the most dangerous and powerful potion in this classroom. "Professor Slughorn smiled at the attentive little wizards at this moment. He put the lid on the crucible and covered it. Spiraling steam. The little witches who were attracted by the potion and gathered around the crucible showed a greedy look, but after Slughorn closed the lid, they realized their gaffe, holding their textbooks, and backed away.

"Professor, haven't you told us what's inside?" Hufflepuff's pure-blood witch Ernie McMillan pointed to a small drop of potion.

"Oh by the way, ladies and gentlemen, what you see is a magical potion, called a potion." Slughorn took the drip-shaped potion off the shelf and lifted it up. It said to the wizards, "But people usually call it ..."

"Lucky Potion." Hermione Granger replied.

Seeing Hermione answer the questions in succession, Slughorn asked tentatively with a smile on his face. "It is the lucky potion, Miss Granger, have you personally tried to brew this potion?"

"Professor, although I have tried boiled spirits, it takes at least half a year to prepare the materials plus boiled medicines, and I still need to take classes, so after persevering for a while, I failed because of a conflict in time ..." He Min shook his fluffy curly hair a little embarrassed.

"Miss Granger, do n’t feel ashamed. After all, its preparation process is extremely complicated, and the time requirements of the pharmacist are also very demanding. However, you can handle the initial medicinal materials and start trying to make the preparation. Explain that your potion level may already be able to take an e or even an o in the newt exam. "Slughorn comforted with a smile, and then turned around," Of course, if the production is successful, only a sip , All your efforts will be easy to succeed ... at least until the effect disappears. "

Speaking, Slughorn's expression was a little trance, and it seemed to recall the wonderful feeling when he was taking a psychic agent and regardless of whether the potion class professor was acting, but the effect was very effective. The classmates seemed to straighten their waists suddenly.

Draco's hand brushed the light blonde hair, which had been changed to a partial distribution, and approached Pansy, whispering, staring at the bottle of magical agent: "When playing Quidditch, if you can steal a little, it can be Help me catch the Golden Snitch. "

But Pansy, who always used his head to look at him, just nodded mechanically and did not respond. When he realized that the female partner was not right, Draco turned his head and saw that Pansy Parkinson, who had been casually leaning against the wall, put down the embrace With his arms and bent legs, he straightened his body and took two steps forward.

"Of course, the potion is only effective for twelve hours. From dawn to dark, you will be a lucky star no matter what you do. Today I will use it as a prize. This small bottle of lucky water will be rewarded for the most within an hour. For the students who first brewed the birth water, the materials needed are listed on page 10 of "Advanced Potion Making." As his words fell, the wizards in the classroom were all excited, and everyone began to read them desperately. Holding the textbook in his hand.

Slughorn continued: "But I would like to remind you that before this, only one student in my teaching career has managed to pass the qualified life and death water and won this award. Having said that, I wish you all good luck , Officially start now! "

The harsh scratches when the crucible was moved, the sound of books being flipped crazy, the sound of putting weights on the balance, the sound of processing herbs ... But no one spoke, everyone was racing against time.

Ron also flipped through the shabby textbooks he placed on the table, and the first page read "This book belongs to Raven Tugwood."

The red-haired wizard then looked around cautiously, flipping through the textbook carefully, only to see that the picture on the textbook was changed, and the blank space on each page was the same as the place where the potion was printed. Note, even in some places, the ingredients of the medicament originally marked on the book were crossed out, and Ron struggled to identify the original operation guide from the various texts scribbled in the textbook.

But the surrounding movement caused Ron to raise his head again. The source of the sound was still that some wizards had trouble cutting the sleepy bean: Harry shot it, and the sleepy bean bounced out; Ron's roommate Simone Finigan Catching the dozing bean on the countertop with his hand; McMillan poked the dozing bean with a knife, deliberately being able to poke the dozing bean out of the juice ... Ron lowered his head and cut it with a knife, his bouncing bean bounced away , Scrolled a few times on the console.

Ron looked up in confusion, and found that Hermione's potion had become the kind of pale snowy green after the dormant bean juice was added. He looked at some wizards who participated in the Harris training class, and found that Michael was squeezing the sleeping bean with the side of the silver short knife. They were not using the original method described in the textbook.

The red-haired wizard lowered his head suddenly. He just saw the same treatment in the annotation of the pure blood princess in his textbook. He narrowed his eyes and found the location of the note in the impression, carefully recognizing the pure blood princess in the book. Annotation, I saw that she wrote an additional note at the position of the squash bean slice: squeezing the side of the silver short knife is easier to juice than the slice.

Ron simply laid the side of his silver short knife flat and squeezed the dormant bean. Sure enough, the bean immediately oozed a lot of juice. Ron quickly dripped the juice into his crucible, and was surprised to find that his own medicine had immediately become. The kind of pale snowy blue mentioned in the book.

"Harry, Harry, look." Ron dragged Harry down with his elbow.

"How did you do it?" Harry held his glasses. He was so stunned by the sleepy beans that he caught his hair in a mess. It looked very embarrassed.

"You grind it, don't cut it." Ron pointed.

Harry did not hesitate to follow Ron's method, and sure enough the potion turned pale. If Ron doubled his confidence in Treasure, Lavine Tugwood must be a potion elite from a pure blood family. Only these guys with family heritage will know more efficient secret techniques training courses outside of textbooks. Those guys must have won Harry. The professor of the Si family would understand this. Thinking of this, Ron immediately picked up the textbook and carefully recognized the following content. He had planned to brew the potion exactly according to the comments in his textbook.

While Ron was devoted to follow Laven Tugwood's notes to continue to boil the medicine, Seymour threw the freshly cut grass roots into the dry pot, and the fire burst from his crucible, his cheek was one piece. In black, the facial features were crumpled. A big ball suddenly popped out of McMillan's dry pot. The jelly-like green gel-like object was even more frightening because it seemed to be alive.

Slughorn toured the classroom and helped these little wizards to clean up the mess, but he unexpectedly found that this class was different from the previous one. Many little wizards handle potions differently from the textbooks. Like Draco Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson, they did not treat the herbs like a student who only attended the improvement class, but like a potion master. These changed tips are both skillful and efficient, and they all succeed in making their potions work orderly.

It was noticed that Hermione Granger had taken the lead to stop processing potions. She added wormwood powder to the daffodil root and was waiting for the potions to boil to the corresponding heat. She glanced at her crucible and judged that speaking to the other party would not be affected As she progressed, Slughorn approached Hermione and asked, "Miss Granger, please forgive my curiosity. I would like to ask where did you and your classmates master these textbooks? Knowledge and skills for brewing potions outside. "

"Professor Slughorn and Professor Alan Harris's training class provided these precious knowledge to the sufficiently good wizards." Hermione's back straightened.

"Awesome ... I have heard some of Harris's ideas about education reform ... but I didn't expect him to be enlightened to this point." Slughorn couldn't help but admire Allen, although in fact this knowledge is only It was obvious that Slughorn had misunderstood the little wizard who was included in the Harris family in the training class.

"Oh, no ..." The red-haired wizard's panic-screaming and sudden burst of gas frightened everyone. "How come my potion is gone?"

The potions in the crucible in front of Ron disappeared without a trace, leaving only a ray of green smoke floating above the crucible. The little wizards around him who directly smelled the smoke felt very excited.

Slughorn walked past Hermione ’s table, glanced at the residue in Ron ’s crucible, and picked up Ron ’s textbook. “Oh? Raven Tugwood? , The great-granddaughter of Secilia Tugwood, I remember her, she has some talent in potions, likes to steal other people ’s private skills and unauthorized changes to the formula, but refuses to be down-to-earth and never wants to be verified ... Mr. Lai happened this time because I do n’t blame you, but next time, please strictly follow the original textbook. In addition, the person who is exposed to the smoke may not be able to sleep for the next three days ... Lavion ’s Conjecture to change what should have been a powerful sleeping pill into a powerful stimulant ... "

"Hahaha ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Weasley with red hair and dark circles to grow out of sleep. Is this going to imitate the red panda?" Draco immediately mocked Ron who was guilty. , "What kind of hero do you think you are in a novel? Do you find any secret knowledge easily?"

Slughorn turned his head to glance at Draco and shut him up, although his expression was just a bit gloating. Then, Slughorn took this opportunity to ask others: "Does anyone know who Secilia Tugwood is?"

"Secilia Tugwood was born in 1874 and invented many beauty remedies and was the first witch to use such potions. Secilia also discovered the effect of Babo tuber pus on pimples. She died In 1966, at the age of 92. Her tombstone reads this line of text: 'Thanks to Secilia Tugwood, she made the world a more beautiful place.' To commemorate Secilia's achievements, she boarded "Chocolate worms ..." Pansy opened the mouth before Hermione this time, but was interrupted by the sudden burst of gas before the words were finished.

I saw the same green smoke covering the potion professor who was listening to Pansy's answer, and Harry coughed a few times and began to apologize to his professor in a whimper: "Sorry ... Slag Professor Horn, I forgot that my potion was also made following Ron's method ... "
