Three days after the second project, it is Friday, February 27th.
On this day, Snape entered the next potion in this semester's teaching content in Potions class-the intelligence enhancer.
He has already finished teaching the basic antidote science, and the more profound antidote science is the scope of the advanced classes after the sixth grade.
By the way, in the last class before Christmas, Snape really did what he said and chose a student to poison.
To Schelling's surprise, Snape chose Harry as the target of his poison. But to Schelling's surprise, the poison Snape chose was actually a "gender transfiguration potion", which was a potion that could cause the effects of male to female and female to male. The effect of the drug lasted for two hours.
Ah this!
If Harry's antidote doesn't work, won't he become "Harry"? Snape is going to...
I couldn't tell that Snape had such dark and dirty thoughts deep in his heart... Xie Lin secretly told the evil story.
Fortunately, with the secret help of Hermione, Harry managed to make a fully effective antidote and drank it. When Harry drank Snape's poison in full view of the public, he did not appear to have any abnormality other than a loud burp.
Schelling was almost certain that at that moment, a fleeting flash of disappointment flashed across Snape's eyes.
Let’s get back to this lesson.
The intelligence enhancer is a medium-difficulty drug. Its effect is not to increase a person's IQ, but to make a person's thinking process clearer. Therefore, it is also used as an antidote for people who have been hit by a confusion spell or drank a confusion potion.
The normal process of refining medicine is to first put ginger slices into a solvent to make the medicine turn green, then add anteater bile until it turns blue, and then add scarab beetle powder until it turns blue. The potion turns red. The same steps need to be repeated many times. Each time it is repeated, the amount of raw materials must be increased by 20% until the potion is truly formed.
The real difficulty is that if the little wizards are not concentrated enough, they can easily forget how many cycles they have repeated, and thus they will not be able to deduce how many times the weight of the raw materials in this cycle should be compared to the first time.
For Xie Lin, who had once refined Bafei's brain-boosting potion, the difficulty of the brain-boosting potion was actually just that. He used both hands together, one hand constantly stirring the potion, and the other hand used the summoning spell to control three different raw materials to jump into the crucible one by one. After three cycles (the total number of cycles and the pharmacist's own (depending on proficiency), his potion was almost ready. He added a small piece of moonstone the size of his knuckle, and the potion suddenly emitted a faint milky white halo and a strange fragrance. , immediately attracted the attention of the whole class.
Snape's bat-like figure quickly and strode to Xie Lin's desk. He looked at the potion made by Xie Lin, pursed his lips tightly and said nothing. At least five minutes later, Snape seemed to be suppressing his voice and said in a low tone: "The moonstone is good. Did you come up with it yourself?"
Xie Lin nodded, "Yes, Professor. Because I am interested in potions, I once looked through the potions textbooks for the first-level students. I found that the draft of peace taught in the fifth grade class is useful. This raw material shows that it can help achieve the effect of meditation and peace of mind - we all know that fluctuating emotions are not conducive to thinking, so I think we can try to increase this effect of moonstone. In the smart potion.”
Then he lowered his body, suddenly approached Xie Lin, looked at him levelly and said, "Stay after class. I have something to tell you."
Then Snape straightened up and shouted: "Five points for Slytherin. Malfoy has created a perfect intelligence enhancer. The last moonstone is a miracle. In comparison, let's look at Wave." Really? Really? You screwed up again, Potter?" He continued to laugh at Harry.
Harry had indeed forgotten which cycle he was in. At this moment, he had given up on himself and resigned himself to randomly guessing the amount of raw materials added in this cycle. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the potion to emit a foul smell and turn into a black and viscous liquid. . Poisonous or not, even stupid people like Goyle and Crabbe wouldn't put it in their mouths just because of its appearance.
There's nothing else particularly noteworthy about the rest of the lesson - unless one wants to know how Neville burned his eighth cauldron (Shelling: Well, that's an average of two per year) , how Seamus Feigani accidentally caused the 24th explosion since he entered the school, how Hermione made a qualified potion but was ignored by Snape, and how Ron was laughed at for making a potion that could The disgusting medicine that poisoned people into the school hospital...
After class, everyone left the Potions classroom as usual.
Sherrin and Snape were the only two people left in the classroom.
Although Snape was usually used to having a cold face, his face was even more gloomy at this moment, as depressing as the clouds before a rainstorm. He looked back and forth at Xie with sinister eyes like an eagle. Forest.
After a while, his cold voice sounded faintly: "Did you do it?"
A conversation between a smart person and a smart person never requires more words. Schelling understood such a meaningless sentence in one go.
"Yes, Professor." Xie Lin put away the cynical smile he usually wore on his face and became rarely serious. He stared closely at Snape's deep, pool-like eyes. Their gazes intersected in mid-air. The temperature in the underground classroom suddenly dropped, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment. If there were others here at this moment, I'm afraid even breathing would be a very laborious task for him.
After a while, the corners of Xie Lin's mouth raised slightly. He looked at Snape with eyes that seemed to have thunder and lightning flashing, and whispered: "Professor, will you expose me to Dumbledore?"
Snape avoided answering, but looked away, looking away, and said coldly: "You are good at Occlumency."
"How can this small achievement compare to yours, Professor?" Xie Lin smiled. He had already understood what Snape meant. "Professor, are you keeping me here just to ask me this question?" A question, right?”
"Dumbledore is doubting you." Snape said coldly: "Although it cannot be ruled out that these students had an accident in the Forbidden Forest or Hogsmeade, you are still the biggest suspect. Among many students Among them, only you have this strength and this motivation."
"So what? Professor -" Xie Lin said playfully: "I think you don't know that that person has come back, right? Didn't the Dark Mark tell you?"
Snape frowned, but did not show any expression of surprise. In his opinion, it was normal for Xie Lin, who had a strong family background and connections, to know about his past as a Death Eater. As for knowing that the Dark Mark was changing, he secretly guessed that Lucius had revealed it. The problem was, he couldn't figure out what the changes in the Dark Mark had to do with these missing students.
Seeing that Snape was silent and obviously waiting for him to continue speaking, Schelling said: "Professor, you were studying in Slytherin back then, and now you are the dean of Slytherin. Don't you know about the Ghost Society?" ?”
"You mean..."
"These missing students are all members of the Ghost Society. You should know that the Ghost Society is actually a quasi-Death Eater in a sense. They tried to recruit me but failed, and then attacked me at the bottom of the Black Lake, but I was I packed them all up, otherwise—" Sherrin sneered, "How do you think Potter got back to the shore before me?"
"I see..." Snape's frown deepened, "What are you going to do?"
"Dumbledore can't do anything to me. Voldemort is his biggest concern. The importance of these students in his eyes is probably not as important as even one of Potter's fingers. As for his Legilimency, Professor You just witnessed it yourself, do you think he can break through my mental defense?" Xie Lin said calmly, with unquestionable confidence in his tone.
"Even if there is no problem on Dumbledore's side," Snape whispered, "Those pure-blood families and the Ministry of Magic will not give up easily... Those who are missing are all their precious elite children, among whom Foley is even The appointed heir of the family. The Ministry of Magic also needs to give an explanation to the public..."
"Don't worry, Professor." Shearing smiled, "As long as you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, how can they suspect me? With Dumbledore's character, it's even more impossible for him to suspect me just because of a mere suspicion. Just shake me out. Professor—"
Xie Lin's eyes suddenly became very sharp, "I just need you to do this favor for me. You just need to pretend that you don't know anything. I will figure out a way for the Ministry of Magic to investigate on my own."
Snape looked at Xuelin meaningfully, and he suddenly understood where Xuelin's confidence came from - he had people in the Ministry of Magic! And I'm afraid one of the two Aurors sent here also includes his people!
After a long while, he softly uttered a sentence from his tightly closed lips, "Okay."
