Arms Dealers From Hogwarts

Jemini rests his chin in one hand and flexibly turns a gel pen in the other hand - he has not yet learned how to use a quill pen...

The quill was too easy to use, it would get stained with ink from hands every time, and Jemini used it twice to throw it in the corner to eat ashes.

"Potter!"

From the podium, Snape suddenly said, "What will I get if I add sunflower powder to wormwood infusion?"

In the back row of the classroom, Harry, who was suddenly named by Snape, was stunned. Hermione, who was sitting next to him, raised her hand, but Snape turned a blind eye to her raised hand.

"I don't know, sir," Harry said resignedly after a few seconds of hesitation.

"Tsk tsk... it seems that fame doesn't mean everything." Snape curled his lips contemptuously.

Demini rested his chin and ate the melon quietly.

Sunlight orchid powder added to wormwood infusion will get life and death water, a powerful sleeping pill, so strong that if one is not mastered well, it can even make the user sleep forever.

In his last life, he had read this scene more than twenty times in books and a dozen times in movies.

The book said narcissus root powder, and Snape's original words were asphodelos - sun orchid.

In previous lives, there was some discussion about this issue with Snape.

Because Sunlight orchid was still in the lily family at this time, and the narcissus root was actually a mistranslation.

So some people think that Snape's words hide another meaning.

Asphodel, a type of lily, is closely related to grief (grief due to someone's death) in Western countries, meaning "remembered beyond the tomb" (remembrance beyond the tomb) and "my regrets follow you to the grave" (I remorse that follows you to the grave).

Wormwood wormwood infusion usually implies regret (regret), bitterness (pain) and remorse (remorse), the general connotation is "I regret your mother's death so much".

So from the perspective of literary symbols, the connotation should be:

'Lily fell into bitter grief, and I deeply regret your mother's death, and have lived a hellish life ever since. ’

It perfectly matches the characteristics of the potion of 'Life and Death Water'.

Of course, some people say this is an over-interpretation.

However, Jemini felt that even if the author itself was not considered a strange connotation, the possibility was still relatively high in terms of Snape's arrogant urination.

After all, this person in front of him is a potion genius who highly optimized the sixth-grade potion textbook when he was in school.

As for their current year's potions textbook "Thousands of Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", Jemini doubted that Snape should be able to silently write the entire book, and maybe even straighten it.

For such a potion master, playing an obscure flower stalk is simply at your fingertips.

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether Snape's words have these metaphors or not.

Importantly, Jemini noticed that Snape never took his eyes off Harry's eyes when he asked the question.

It reminded him of something.

Before the word 'dog licking' came about, people used to call it 'affectionate'.

"Let's try again, Potter."

Snape on the podium continued, "If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"

Beside Harry, Hermione almost stood up from the stool with her hands up, while Harry still looked dazed.

"I don't know, sir."

"I suppose...you didn't turn over a book before school started, did you? Potter..."

Snape sneered,

He glanced in the direction of Jemini: "The same is a first-year freshman, some people enjoy their fame but achieve nothing, some people are helpless, but they have mastered all the defense against the dark magic in the first to fifth grades alone within a month. technique-"

Draco looked at Jemini in astonishment. He was very self-aware that Snape was not looking at himself just now.

Except for the monster sitting next to him, it is estimated that no one can let Snape, whose eyes are higher than the top, take a high look.

Harry blushed, he wasn't afraid of Snape mocking him, because anyone could see that Snape didn't like him.

He was afraid that if Snape compared himself to other students, it would make him seem useless.

"Tsk...Look at the unwilling little eyes." Snape mocked: "The last question, Potter, what is the difference between the boat-shaped aconite and the wolf-venomous aconite?"

"I don't know," Harry whispered. "But I think Hermione should know the answer. Why don't you ask her?"

Several students laughed, but Jemini didn't find it funny.

From the perspective of a bystander, he just felt it was a pity.

Snape was mocking Harry, but he wished he knew that.

In the Half-Blood Prince's plot, Harry used a bezoar to save Ron's life after he accidentally drank poisoned wine.

Bezoar can neutralize the toxicity of most poisons. Generally speaking, if you don't know what poison you have been poisoned, but in a very critical situation, it's right to swallow a bezoar, at least it can temporarily hang you. Life!

This is the description of the bezoar in the Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi.

Beside Harry, Hermione was still raising her hands winkingly.

"Sit down! Stupid girl!" Snape snapped at Hermione.

"Let me tell you, Potter! The combination of sunflower powder and wormwood infusion makes a powerful sleeping pill, a drink of life and death; bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat , has a strong detoxification effect; as for the boat-shaped aconitum and the wolf poison aconitum, they are the same plant, also collectively called aconitum... Do you understand?!"

Snape said, his eyes finally left Harry's eyes, and he looked around: "You...why don't you write all this down?"

There was a rustling of quills and parchment in the class.

"Mr. Fox, are you listening with earplugs?" Snape looked at Jemini with a sinister gaze. Obviously, he was in a bad mood right now, and meant to kill him.

"I have almost memorized the knowledge points, and I have finished memorizing them, Professor." Jemini spread out a small notebook with a lot of notes densely written on it.

Snape's eyes swept across the notebook, and he said slowly, "So, in the absence of bezoars, what can be a substitute?"

"Bezoar, Professor."

"What should be the dosage of life and death water?"

"Less than an ounce."

"Is the cry of the mandrake pleasant?"

"Everyone who heard it is dead, Professor."

"How can it be distinguished from ginseng eggplant?"

"There is no need to distinguish, the same species, ginseng nightshade is another name for Mandrake."

"What is the main ingredient of the palliative?"

"Moonstone powder and hellebore syrup."

"What is the use of Bai Xian?"

"Treats all kinds of bruises."

"Obviously—there are also some people whose name is not unreasonable..."

Finally, Snape stopped asking, and for the first time there was a smile on his face, though it was a little stiff and a little ugly.

"Five points for Slytherin. As for you, Potter, Gryffindor deducts five points because you contradicted the teacher."

In the potions classroom, a group of Slytherin students suddenly applauded. For the first time, they cheered for this evil star in their own academy.
