Werewolves are terrifying creatures that transform during the full moon and attack other humans indiscriminately.
And those who were bitten either died, or were infected into new werewolves, and then attacked others... the cycle started over and over again.
Therefore, a magic potion that can prevent werewolves from transforming or remain rational after transforming has been urgently needed to be developed.
The emergence of Wolfsbane Potion has undoubtedly alleviated this problem.
Of course, it's just relief.
The reason is very simple. Wolfsbane potion is extremely difficult to brew. The steps alone can be filled with two densely packed blackboards... the difficulty is evident!
Therefore, this potion is indeed not within the students' study scope and is seriously out of scope.
Forget about being super-class, most of the ingredients for making potions are still poisonous.
Needless to say, wolfsbane; after eating white snakeroot, you will be infected with a symptom called "breast distension". Many witches used to use it to enlarge their breasts.
There is also the famous poison hemlock, which was contained in the poisonous wine Socrates drank.
The little wizards all wore strict protection, but they were still reluctant to take action, for fear that they would die young if they were contaminated by a little poison.
Snape frowned and urged:
"What's there to be afraid of? The dose is so light and you wear gloves. As long as you don't swallow it directly, nothing will happen! And absorbing a small amount of toxins is actually good for the body."
These words reminded Luof of his chemistry teacher in his previous life. When he asked everyone to do chemical experiments, the students were afraid of being poisoned, so he comforted them and said:
"Doing more chemical experiments is good for your health. I had rhinitis when I was a child, and it couldn't be cured no matter how hard I tried. Later, I went to the laboratory and breathed ammonia for a while, and the rhinitis gradually got better."
His rhinitis is indeed cured, but... he is bald.
Under Snape's repeated urging, the young wizards had no choice but to take action and reluctantly began to brew the Wolfsbane potion.
Of course Snape knew that everyone couldn't cook it, but he didn't care.
He just needs students to use their creativity to give Lupine a little Hogwarts shock.
Snape walked around and was truly shocked.
Justin and McMillan's cauldron smells like a bathroom, as if someone's septic tank exploded... Are you sure you didn't secretly add ingredients to it?
Lisa Dupin and Padma Patil's potion smelled okay, but it was as thick as swamp mud.
After asking, Snape found out that Padma Patil made a small innovation and added a little water from the Ganges River in her hometown.
Neville and Hannah showed amazing creativity and boiled Wolfsbane Potion into "Wolfsbane Potion". Even the outer wall of the crucible was directly corroded by the poisonous water.
Snape sometimes wondered why students couldn't learn something that was clearly written out and could be understood at a glance. !
People are indeed different. Even the experienced Rolf is stuck at a certain step.
He put the steamed bat tongue into the crucible and stirred it three times clockwise. According to the instructions on the blackboard, the color of the potion should be light green, but now it turned purple.
Rolf and Shirley checked several times but found no problems. When they were about to start from scratch, Snape wandered over.
He just glanced at the crucible, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.
When Rolf didn't make any mistakes on weekdays, Snape would get angry. Now that something went wrong, he had to take a dig at him?
But Snape unexpectedly did not mock, but said lazily:
"The bat tongue has been cooked for too long. Try adding a little carbon powder."
Luofu raised his eyebrows, quickly grabbed a handful of toner, and threw it into the crucible. The color really slowly changed from red to green.
Snape had no intention of leaving yet, so he stood and watched.
Luo Fu and Shirley looked at each other, feeling helpless and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue brewing the potion.
After Shirley cleaned the scales of the snake bird, she threw them into the crucible. Rove added a few drops of the venom of the color-changing giant snail, and the color of the potion changed to cobalt green.
Snape reminded again:
"It's best to add a bottle of Potentilla tincture and simmer it over low heat for three minutes. The potion will solidify more easily."
Wolfsbane potion didn't seem to have this step. Rolf subconsciously glanced at the blackboard. Snape snorted and said impatiently:
"I improved it myself, you can add it if you like!"
"..."
Since Snape said so, of course Rolf could only do it.
Shirley was originally sitting next to Rove, but when she saw Snape approaching, she had to move her stool back.
After a while, Shirley had moved away from Rove and was pushed aside, and her original position was taken by Snape.
The girl with the ponytail looked at Rove in confusion, and then at Snape who was sitting next to him for guidance, feeling a little at a loss.
It was her, it was her first, she was obviously the one who sat there first... whether it was brewing the potion or helping Luo Fu process the materials!
That's her place, Professor Snape!
The students all raised their heads and looked at this scene of "teacher, friend and disciple Gong" in shock. They must be dreaming, right?
"Actually, at this point, I think it would be best to use werewolf blood instead of wolf blood." Snape frowned:
"What do you think, Scamander?"
Luofu had an idea, he scratched his hair and nodded in agreement.
"You think so too?" Snape said softly, "But werewolf blood is hard to get."
Of course it is difficult to get. Werewolves themselves are very dangerous and it is difficult to surround and kill them.
Of course, there are werewolves who sell blood, such as poor people like Lupine, but they only sell a few hundred milliliters at most, and the supply exceeds demand!
"By the way, Scamander, is the body of the werewolf Fenrir Greyback you killed still there?" Snape asked casually.
"..." Tu Qiongdiao saw him and turned out to be waiting here.
Rolf immediately warned: "Fenrir Greyback's body was taken away by the Ministry of Magic."
"I know." Snape narrowed his eyes: "But I heard Dumbledore say that most of his blood and flesh were dissected by you, right?"
Rove emphasized: "Professor Snape, those wolf blood are mine."
"I didn't say it wasn't yours. Look at your arrogant attitude. I'll deduct... five points from Hufflepuff!"
"..."
Professor Snape showed unprecedented patience and his voice became gentler.
There was no other way. He wanted to kill the basilisk last year and tried various methods including deducting points and poisoning, but he failed.
Being tough was not enough, so Snape wanted to be softer with Rove and play the emotional card.
"Scamander, we can exchange." Professor Snape lowered his voice and said, "I have a lot of magic materials."
Luo Fe curled his lips and said, "Sorry, I'm not short of magic materials now."
He really has no shortage of magic materials now. On the one hand, he can ask for them from Hagrid, and he can also trade with centaurs.
"What about the potions?" Snape raised the corner of his mouth and said, "There are many precious potions in my medicine storage."
Luofu raised his eyebrows. He was indeed interested in this. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Professor Snape, if we are teachers and students, I won't cheat you.
Let’s start with seven or eight liters of the elixir of happiness... I haven’t drunk that stuff yet. "
"..."
