To brew a potion, you must first handle the materials properly.
The quality of the materials and the way they are processed will directly affect the efficacy of the medicine.
First put 6 parts of poisonous snake teeth into a mortar and grind them into powder. This step must be careful. If there are large particles, there will be floc in the final product, and the effect will be very poor.
Using pure water as the base, put the snake tooth powder and 4 parts of dried nettles into a crucible, and heat it over a slow fire for 10 seconds to trigger the medicinal reaction.
Then wave your wand, infuse the magic, and wait patiently for the reaction to complete.
The amount of magic power, the length of waiting, and even the will when injecting magic power will all have an impact.
When the color of the solvent turns slightly blue, put 4 cooked slugs with tentacles into the crucible. The slugs will melt in 5 seconds.
Remove the crucible from the heat and place 2 whole porcupine quills into the crucible.
After the porcupine quills melt, wave your wand to inject magic again, stir clockwise 5 times, the color changes to light green, and you're done!
Ted and Hermione's potion went very smoothly and the color was almost ready.
After all, Ted is considered a semi-skilled worker.
"Ding~ The mission [The Young Wizard's First Magic Potion (Green)] is completed, and you get 200 experience, and the card [Neville's failed scabies potion (green)]."
[Neville’s failed scabies potion (green)]
prop card
The scabies potion that Neville failed to make caused all infected targets within a 5-meter radius of the impact point to itch and become covered with scabies pimples.
Disposable.
Note: Be careful not to throw it at yourself!
Ah, a one-time prop card.
Although the effect is not very good, the range seems to be quite wide.
…
After all, the process of brewing the magic potion has been explained clearly, and the amount of medicinal materials is not just a matter of feeling like "appropriate amount". The time is accurate to the second. Logically speaking, there should be no problems if you follow the step by step.
Then "pang~", Seamus's cauldron exploded!
The four or five little wizards around him were all affected. He himself had a black face and two big red boils on his nose!
Deep Fryer Seamus: That year I had my hands in my pockets and didn’t know what a crucible was.
He must have spent a lot of money just to buy the crucible after seven years.
Snape was so angry that his face turned red!
If Snape hadn't been so stubborn at this moment, his blood pressure would have blown away the Tianling Cap!
"Stupid! Are you making a potion of explosive alchemy? How on earth did you make a potion of scabies? Huh?!"
As Snape dealt with the remaining potion, he was so angry that he almost flew into the air.
Snape's anger caused Neville on his side to enter an "emergency state".
Neville was so nervous that he stuttered when he spoke. The more anxious he became, the more clumsy he became, and he immediately threw the medicinal materials in his hand into the crucible.
Thanks to Ted grabbing his hand, "You can't put porcupine quills in the crucible while it's heating!"
In the original work, he made this mistake and burned through the crucible, leaving himself with fire boils and pimples all over his body.
Neville put down his porcupine quills tremblingly: "Thank you, thank you, Ted."
Snape on the side obviously couldn't see this kind of friendship lasting forever, "Ha! Does our Mr. Epiphany think he can teach others? How arrogant!"
"Five points will be deducted from Ravenclaw for interfering with other people's brewing of potions!" Snape said with a trace of pride on his face.
Ted was also very happy!
Professor, the task of deducting points will be left to you. You're welcome, just deduct points to death!
Snape deducted points from him, and even Professor Flitwick wouldn't blame him. Isn't there hope for this mission?
What a beautiful thing!
He wanted to take the opportunity to expand his victory, so he tried to argue: "Professor, I don't think I can teach others. I just want to prevent Neville from burning through his crucible."
Snape smiled sarcastically again: "It seems that you know the consequences of this stupid approach very well...Confront the professor, and you will get another 5 points deducted!"
Ted: Professor, you are awesome~
At this time, Neville finally couldn't help it anymore, "No, no, it's not Ted's fault, it's me, I..."
However, Snape seemed to have "specialized in Neville", and just glanced at him and suppressed his words.
"Ha, the Boy Who Lived - Longbottom. What do you want to say? Or do you want to use your pot of poison to repay your friends? Could it be that everything I said fell on deaf ears, except for Epiphany's words? Are you just listening? If you don’t listen carefully, 5 points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
The venom spewed out, causing Neville to burst into tears.
At this time, Malfoy finally found a chance. He was laughing when Ted deducted points just now, and now he even laughed softly: "Ha, the boy who was lucky enough to survive is a snot~"
Snape pretended not to hear this at all.
Harry and Ron glared at the master and apprentice, wanting to throw the potion in the crucible over.
…
get out of class was over, and Snape floated away with his textbooks under his arm like a giant bat.
The Malfoy trio were chatting loudly while glancing at Ted and the others, with faces as if they were triumphant villains.
Harry and Hermione all expressed their feelings for Ted and Neville.
"Sirius has long said that Snape, the old bat, is extremely vicious! If you ask me, he simply didn't explain the extent of Snape's viciousness clearly." Harry was indignant.
Ted looked at her: Neville is so angry for you!
Hermione was also indignant and despised Snape's behavior of deducting points instead of adding points for answering questions.
Ron Jerry cursed under his breath that Snape lost his hair and became bald.
Neville was sobbing carefully.
Ted patted him on the shoulder: "Neville, this world will not be gentle to you because you cry. Don't expose your weakness to others. Except relatives and friends."
At this time, we should really play "Hogwarts Don't Believe in Tears"!
"But if you are really sad, we will be your most loyal listeners. If one day we want to cry, you will also comfort us, right?"
Neville wiped his tears and nodded heavily.
All in all, this class was very difficult for Neville.
Ted is very good. Although there is no bonus point, it is deducted!
One deduction is 10 points! Snape can stand up to several professors~
But to be honest, Snape didn't target Harry, which made Ted a little concerned.
You have changed, you are no longer the sharp-tongued Snape who targeted "Potter"!
Even Ted felt that Snape paid too much attention to Harry.
Yes, although he didn't say a word, Ted was keenly aware that Snape always paid special attention to Harry.
So much so that they also paid attention to Ted, Ron and others who were close to Harry and gossiped in class.
Part of the reason why I was targeted was because of my "excellent" performance, but on the other hand, it might be because I was implicated by Harley.
Now she is no longer being targeted and has spread the focus to her friends.
Sure enough, the target will not disappear, it will only transfer~
…
I went to bed late tonight because there was an astronomy class in the middle of the night.
The astronomy class is in the astronomy tower, which is the highest place in the whole castle. Just climbing the spiral steps has already given some students motion sickness~
The astronomy class professor is Professor Aurora Sinistra, a woman who doesn’t look too old and has no presence in the original novel.
The second-hand telescope Ted bought earlier came in handy.
It's just that Ted's second-hand telescope is really worth the price of second-hand goods, and he can't see clearly.
Fortunately, I was able to look through Hermione's telescope.
Some people may want to ask, is it romantic to climb up a building to look at the stars in the middle of the night?
Why do wizards study astronomy? Do you also want to develop aerospace technology?
In fact, this is not the case. Human beings have had an infinite yearning for celestial bodies since ancient times. Be it muggle or wizard.
In fact, celestial bodies possess powerful magical powers, and their movements and trajectories have been observed by wizards for a long time and then used.
But that part is ritual magic, which is very profound and is not taught in schools.
Ritual magic can often accomplish many "miracles" with a very small amount of magic!
Because this is a kind of taking advantage of the situation and following the trend.
Advanced ritual magic often requires the use of astronomy, because it is necessary to choose the day and hour, such as "the planet has moved to the correct position", "lunar eclipse and solar eclipse", "nine stars in a row", "comet hitting the moon" and so on~
Many human festivals originally became festivals because of their unique magical powers. Such as Halloween, Easter, Christmas...
But thousands of years have passed, and the original intention of the festival has been distorted in legends and stories.
However, for Ted, this knowledge is a bit too obscure, and it is far from time for him to study it himself.
There is no need to waste energy now, it is enough to study the knowledge in the textbook.
It was already Thursday in the blink of an eye, and this afternoon was Ted's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Up with Gryffindor.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class is still very popular among young wizards.
Transfiguration is too obscure and difficult, and the homework is mind-numbing to write.
As for magic spells, I have only been taught the fluorescent spell so far, and I have to practice it repeatedly.
Although herbal medicine is interesting, it is always dirty and tiring. Sometimes it’s dangerous!
History of Magic is simply a course to catch up on some sleep.
Snape in Potions class had pronounced everyone stupid.
Now only Defense Against the Dark Arts and flying lessons are still among the little wizards' longing for happiness.
But, I'm afraid I will disappoint them.
