Chapter 9： Potion of Wolf's Venom

After lunch, there is a magical animal protection lesson with Gryffindor. The magical creature Hagrid brought out were twelve eagles and horses. Unlike the original book, Draco became a lot more serious in studying this semester. He strictly followed Hagrid’s instructions and bowed to an eagle and horse. So as to successfully ride it and fly a circle in the air. But before long, everyone could see Hagrid hurriedly holding Blaise Chabini to the school hospital. There was a deep and long opening in Blaise’s arm, and the blood flowed down his arm to the corridor. on.

The story of the matter quickly spread among the students, and Blaise was attacked by a falcon called Buckbeak in Hagrid's class. If you want to ask, why does Eagle Horse appear in the classroom? This is because that was Hagrid's first class on protecting magical creatures. In order to impress everyone, he brought twelve eagles and horses to the class. Not surprisingly, this class ended in complete failure.

Although Gryffindor students can prove that Brace was attacked by Buckbeak, he was completely asking for it, but this still casts a **** shadow on the already heavy atmosphere in the school.

As a member of Slytherin, Schelling ran behind them into the school hospital. He saw Ms. Pomfrey cured Blaise in just one minute, but he was still pale and said that his arm was very Pain, accusing Hogwarts of a problem with his teaching method, arguing for the safety of the students, yelling that this matter will be reported to the Ministry of Magic.

Blaise’s mother, Mrs. Shabini, is a well-known widow who has an unknown close relationship with many high-level personnel in the Ministry of Magic. It is said that even Minister of Magic Fudge will sell her a bit of face. Xie Lin sneered secretly, but didn't intend to stop this. Draco originally wanted to inform Lucius to participate, but Schelling had to give up in angrily.

Schelling is not on Gryffindor’s side, but he knows clearly that in today’s magical world, it is not wise to fight Dumbledore, at least until he grows up...

It wasn't until breakfast time on Thursday that Blaise reappeared at the Slytherin table. He walked into the auditorium amidst the cheers of the Slytherin students, his right arm was wrapped in a bandage and hung from his neck with a sling, like a hero who had survived a terrible battle. Harry and Ron looked disdainful when they saw him, but Blaise himself was triumphant.

Many people in the auditorium are looking down at today's "Daily Prophet". "What are you looking at?" Blaise asked strangely.

"It's the latest news about Sirius Black!" Pansy whispered, and gave him a newspaper. Breis saw it read: Black was seen by a Muggle and appeared somewhere not far from Hogwarts. When the Ministry of Magic arrived, he had already left and is currently in the process of hunting. Presumably, Sirius Black is trying to enter Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Most of the little wizards in Slytherin have been given some advice from their parents, and they know what's going on.

Draco whispered to Blaise: "Blake's target should be Potter. I think that guy is going to be unlucky. First he saw ominousness in divination class, and then his dear giant friend may also be expelled. Now it is Black. ..."

After finishing speaking, Draco smiled triumphantly and stood up and walked to the long Gryffindor table. He stood behind Harry, his eyes gleaming maliciously. "How about, Potter, do you want to single-handedly try to catch Black?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Harry asked rhetorically.

"Of course, if I'm you..." Draco's thin lips curled into a mean smile. "I've done something a long time ago. I won't stay in school and be a good boy. , I will definitely go out to find him."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Malfoy?" Ron said gruffly.

"Don't you know, Potter?" Draco said in a low voice, and his gray eyes narrowed.

"what do you know?"

Malfoy let out a low sneer. "Maybe you don't want to risk your life," he said, "you just want the dementors to deal with him, don't you? If you change me, I will definitely have revenge, and I will hunt him down myself."

There was a cough that was obviously pretended, and Schelling walked closer to the place of several people.

Harry and Ron immediately showed a wary look. No way, Schelling's prestige was too high. Harry didn't think he and Ron would be enough to compete with Schelling. Instead, Hermione stood up bravely and looked straight. Schelling asked sharply, "Malfoy, this is the auditorium, what are you going to do in the public?"

Schelling frowned, and the scene fell into an embarrassing silence.

Schelling ignored Hermione’s provocation, turned to look at Draco, and broke the silence: "Brother, have you forgotten your father's instructions?"

Draco had actually finished what he wanted to say, and then snorted pretending to be dissatisfied, then turned and left.

Schelling gave Harry an apologetic smile and handed out an invitation letter to Harry, "As you all know, there will be dementors patrolling outside Hogwarts this year, and the patron saint is the only one known to be able to resist dementors. Weird curse. I plan to organize a curse exchange activity in the near future. I will explain my various understandings of the patron saint curse and help students practice and master this curse, no matter which college it is. I’m not welcome to any of the students who are interested and want to participate. If you are interested, you may wish to show your face to participate.” After that, Xie Lin left the invitation letter and turned away happily, leaving only an embarrassing face of He Min.

Hermione looked at herself being ignored by Schelling, and she felt as if she had been punched in her heart. She didn't know why she just acted so hard with Xie Lin. She only remembered that when she saw Xie Lin, she suddenly felt an unreasonable anger in her heart, which made her unable to control her emotions for a while. .

A few days ago, on the train, she saw Xie Lin’s intimacy with the three girls next to her. She felt a faint discomfort in her heart. At the time, she thought she was being affected by a dementor and didn’t think much about it, but today she felt that again Discomfort, and this time the anger was so clear and so violent.

Looking at Hermione's uncertain face, Harry and Ron cleverly didn't talk too much to provoke her, but whispered to discuss this so-called "spell exchange" activity.

I saw Schelling walking towards Percy, who was dining, asking Percy to help publish news about the event to the Gryffindor Lounge; then to Penello to help publish the news to the Ravenclaw Lounge, and Cedley. Ke helped to post the news to the Hufflepuff Lounge. Although these three people are not very familiar with themselves, at least they have had a few friendships in Merlin's test competition. They only asked them to help publish the notice on the bulletin board. Forgive them, they would not refuse.

Harry seemed to be surprised by the invitation and hesitated. Ron pointed out with a disdain that this must be a Slytherin conspiracy, and he strongly advised people around him not to go. If you want to learn the spell, you can ask the professors directly, and there must be no shortage of this in the library. Information, there is no need to participate in Slytherin activities. Hermione looked at the invitation letter with a thoughtful expression, making it impossible to know what she was really thinking.

After eating breakfast, the little wizards of Slytherin and Gryffindor gathered to the underground teacher of the potions class.

"What we are going to make today is a shrinking solution." Snape strode into the underground classroom like a cloud, and the flying black robe bloomed in the air like a flower. He drew out his wand and clicked on the blackboard. The preparation process and points of attention of this medicine appeared on the blackboard silently.

"The most important raw materials of the body shrinking potion include daisy root, fig skin, and wolfberry aconitum." Snape's tone was still so gloomy, but the students could clearly feel the unpleasantness contained in it. "Potter!" he called suddenly.

Harry stood up at a loss.

"Tell me, what is the difference between aconitum aconitum and aconitum aconitum?"

"Sorry, I don't know, Professor." Harry answered extremely innocently.

"I remember that in your first potions class in the first grade, I asked you this question, Potter." Snape's eyes were so gloomy that he didn't know where he was angry. "In the past two years or so, you obviously haven't made any progress at all. It seems that your reputation really makes people unable to recognize yourself..."

"Why don't you prepare to write down what I have said below!" He turned and shouted to the class, and everyone hurriedly found quill pens and parchment.

"The function of the daisy root is to concentrate the essence, and it is also often used to increase the concentration of the medicine. It is used to extract the essence of the raw material. The skin of the fig has a mild medicinal property, which can prevent the concentrated medicine from causing too much damage to the user because it takes effect too quickly. This kind of oral restorative medicine has a wide range of applications. As for Aconitum chamaejas, it is mainly used to aid deformation. Since the shrinking medicine often involves changes in form, it is also indispensable. This medicine is mainly used in compound decoctions, Transforming biological agents, wolf poisoning agents, etc..."

"Sorry, Professor!" Hermione raised her hand.

"Oh, Miss Granger? What's the matter with you?" Snape turned his face, his dark eyes staring at her in an unspeakable tone. All the students present noticed his anomaly: when would he ask Hermione "what's the matter with you?"

Hermione didn't seem to be aware of it. "Professor, what kind of potion is the wolf poison potion? I haven't seen its introduction in any potion books."

"Excellent question, Miss Granger." Snape seemed to intend to carry the extraordinary to the end, and he did something even more surprising. "Being able to ask this question shows that you have been working hard to learn relevant knowledge. Gryffindor adds five points."

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Everyone opened their mouths wide. This was probably the first time Hermione and even Gryffindor took the initiative to ask questions in the Potions class. Not only did they not deduct points, but they were given points instead. Ron pulled out his ears vigorously; Harry took off his glasses and started rubbing his eyes desperately; Neville's hand holding the fig hung in the air; Draco cut the daisy root with a shake and cut it directly on his index finger on.

Schelling probably guessed Snape's intentions, and he snorted lowly.

Snape glanced around. As far as his eyes were, the students were sitting awkwardly. After focusing on Schelling, they pondered for a moment and said, "Schelling, are you here to answer?"

After thinking about all the information about this potion in Schelling's mind, he replied loudly: "Lymphomaniac Potion is a potion newly invented last yearinvented by Damocles Bellby. He was also invited to join the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists and obtained the qualification of a potion master. This kind of potion is specially used to treat werewolves. Although it can't turn a werewolf back into an ordinary person, it can make a werewolf in the full moon. The night stays sane. This medicine needs to be taken a full cup every day from the week before the full moon to be effective. However, this medicine is not without its drawbacks. Its raw materials are very expensive and there are almost none. Werewolves can afford it, and because of the violent toxicity of Aconitum chamaejas, the process of preparing this medicine is very difficult. Any mistake will turn into a deadly poison, so it is also necessary to find a potion master who can prepare this medicine. It's extremely difficult."

"Good answer, Slytherin gets fifteen points!"

Looking at Xie Lin's way of talking, Hermione pressed her lips tightly, and thoughts were turning in her heart. Among them, the idea of ​​not admitting defeat was the most ardent.

Next, Snape quickly made people realize that Snape was still the same Snape. Neville was still ridiculed, Ron was still blamed, Harry was still on the cusp. All of this quickly caused the students to throw the conjecture that "Snape took the wrong medicine" in their hearts to Atlantis.

The preparation of the shrinking potion is still quite difficult for the third-grade students-Neville almost failed because he added too much leeches juice and mouse spleen. Snape even threatened to feed Neville's work to Neville's pet. Fortunately, with the help of Hermione, the mistake was finally corrected. When testing the potion, Rifle successfully changed back to a tadpole. This discovery surprised Schelling because he always thought that the purpose of the shrinking potion was simply to reduce the size of the user, but he did not expect to restore the creature back to its juvenile form, which made him hide other uses of this potion. Very interested.
