Chapter 59 Snape’s additional test

"Forget River water, mistletoe berries, valerian, standard ingredients, it turns out to be the forgetfulness potion..."

Sean looked at the various materials on the table in front of him and immediately guessed what the questions of the Potions Operation Exam were. At the same time, guessing the content of the Operation Exam based on the materials was also the first difficulty in the Potions Operation Exam. As long as

If you can judge what potion needs to be brewed based on the materials, then you have passed half of the operation test. As long as you use the materials at a good pace during the operation, you are guaranteed to pass.

If you still want higher results, you need to use the quality of the finished potion to speak for itself.

This exam was not too difficult for Sean, a member of the Potions Club, but when Sean was about to perform the operation, Snape suddenly came to him and said: "Sean, show me

Judging from the results of your study in the Potions Club, the standard brewing time for the forgetting potion is about forty-five minutes, and now I need you to shorten the time to half an hour."

The change of time means that Sean needs to make changes to the standard amnesia potion formula.

Hermione was not far away from Sean at this time, and naturally heard what Snape said to Sean, shortening the standard potion recipe time by fifteen minutes. Hermione's first thought was that Sean had angered Snape.

Pu, the other party was deliberately making things difficult for Sean, but Hermione soon realized that Sean was Snape's favorite student, and it didn't look like Snape was angry. In other words, it was possible to shorten the time.

of.

Hermione stared at Sean, wanting to see if Sean could do this, but at this moment, Snape's disapproving eyes shot over. He looked at Hermione indifferently and said: "Glen

Miss Jie, maybe I should remind you that everyone's exam time is only one hour, if it exceeds the time limit, you will only get a failing grade."

Failure is absolutely fatal to Hermione, and it is also the most feared. Although she was a little unwilling, when Hermione heard Snape's words, she immediately turned her head and looked at the crucible in front of her. According to the standards of the forgetting potion,

The recipe began to brew the potion. At most, he would glance at Sean from time to time while the potion was brewing.

At this time, Sean no longer cared whether Hermione was looking at him. He had devoted himself wholeheartedly to figuring out the standard formula for the forgetfulness potion.

What Snape said to Hermione before was also said to Sean.

The exam lasted only one hour. In other words, Sean only had at most half an hour to deduce the optimization of the formula. The actual time may be even lower.

Of course, Sean can also choose to use the normal formula to complete the forgetting potion. Snape will not embarrass Sean and refuse to give him high scores, but it is very likely that Sean will not be able to continue to follow up on the Potions Club next year.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why Snape's Potions Club has a small number of members. At the end of every semester, he will conduct a temporary examination for the members of the Potions Club to determine whether the members of the Potions Club are qualified.

The formula being changed at this moment is Snape's assessment of Sean.

Sean stood in front of his crucible, his brain spinning rapidly. The contents of all the potions books he had seen and learned in the Potions Club in the past, and the contents of all the potions books he had read, all flowed through Sean's mind. Blaise

The worry, Hermione's inquiry, Malfoy's gloating, and Millicent's hidden malice did not disturb Sean at all. He just stood in front of the crucible, thinking quietly.

Snape looked at Sean. He didn't feel any urgency at all, and his confidence in Sean had not faded over time. Snape was very clear about Sean's potions skills, and because of this, he knew

, the question I gave Sean was considered a difficult question in the eyes of other members of the Potion Club, and it would definitely not stump Sean.

As time goes by, those little wizards who don't know why have begun to whisper about Sean's condition. Usually Sean is the absolute number one in potions. That kind of lead makes them despair.

Now that they see Sean's appearance, although they don't know what happened, many people are happy to watch Sean, a first-year potions detective, fall from the altar.

Unfortunately, many things in this world cannot be changed by human will. Just as they were brewing their own potion and watching the excitement, Sean, who had been thinking for nearly 20 minutes, suddenly made a move!

"Professor, can I ask for some additional materials?"

After hearing Sean's words, Snape's expression did not change at all, but he immediately responded to Sean's words: "Yes, but the materials are limited to three types."

"Three kinds are enough."

"Go get it yourself. The time will be counted in your exam time."

"OK!"

There was a door in the Potions classroom leading to the warehouse. Sean rushed out, pushed open the door of the warehouse and ran in. Since joining the Potions Club, he has helped Snape with some materials from time to time, and he is also good at the warehouse.

After finding out the two materials he needed, Sean immediately returned to the classroom and started processing the materials quickly.

Use other materials as catalysts to deal with the fusion problem between the Forgotten River water and valerian, and then use the second material to make an extraction agent to extract the active ingredients in the mistletoe berries. These two processing ideas come from previous lives.

The chemistry is now used in potions, and it has some miraculous effects.

The two processed extracts were then poured into the crucible for brewing, and finally the brewing of the potion was completed in the twenty-fifth minute, and the brewing of the forgetting potion was completed.

Seeing that Sean had finished brewing the potion in only twenty-five minutes, Snape gave Neville a passing grade with some eagerness, and walked to Shaw in three steps at a time.

Next to En, he picked up the bottle containing the magic potion, smelled the smell inside, then took out his wand and took out a drop of the magic potion, floating it in front of him and looking at it carefully.

"Very accurate... quite extraordinary... extremely high quality..."

Three consecutive comments made Malfoy and Millicent, who still wanted to watch the fun, show resentful looks on their faces. At this time, Snape had no time to pay attention to other people. He just carefully looked and inspected the people in front of him.

The magic potion finally gave Sean’s score for this exam.

"It's a very good potion. I'm very happy that someone can finally get a perfect score in the Potions exam at the end of this semester!"

Today I got the first recommendation for this book. Please read it. This is related to the following recommendations. Thank you all.
