duel day at hogwarts

Chapter 60 Golden Crucible

"Sean, go to my office and wait for me."

After giving Sean a score, Snape asked Sean to go to his office to wait while he continued to take the exam. Of course, Snape was slightly more impatient than before.

Sean and Blaise left the Potions classroom, Blaise returned to the common room first, and Sean went directly to Snape's office.

Sean was already familiar with Snape's office. He opened the door and found a place to sit down. He also picked up a potions-related book from the bookshelf. When he looked at the first page, he discovered that

The potion knowledge in this book is quite advanced. With his current ability, reading this book is very difficult.

"This book is not suitable for you. With your current level of potions, you still cannot fully understand this book."

Snape's emotionless voice suddenly sounded behind Sean, which really startled Sean.

Sean immediately stood up and looked at Snape. Only then did Sean realize that he had been reading for almost half an hour, and Snape had already returned from his exam work.

"Professor, I felt a little bored just now, so I just found a book."

Snape nodded and did not say anything immediately. Instead, he glanced at the book that had already read more than ten pages and asked, "You have read more than ten pages, do you understand?"

"It's okay, but there are some parts that I don't quite understand."

"What do you understand?"

"It's mainly about exploring the feasibility of eliminating the werewolf virus... I personally think that the direction mentioned above about extracting the werewolf virus from the human body and then conducting research on it may be feasible."

Regarding this point, Sean treats the werewolf virus as a disease virus. The direction discussed in the book is actually the direction of making vaccines in the ordinary world. Sean feels that the wizard who raised this possibility is likely to have studied the treatment of diseases by ordinary people.

medical treatment, and plans to develop a method to treat the werewolf virus based on this.

"Good insight... Let's get down to business now." Snape walked forward, closed the book and put it on the bookshelf, then turned to look at Sean and said: "Sean, you were brewing the potion earlier.

Where did the two techniques used come from?"

"Professor, you also know that my parents don't have magic, so when I was a child, I lived in the world of ordinary people and learned a lot of ordinary people's knowledge. One of the ordinary people's sciences is called chemistry, which is also used by ordinary people to make medicine.

One of the main methods, the two methods I used before, are the two methods in chemistry.

Of course, it is not a complete copy, but it is borrowing the theory of related techniques and integrating it into the brewing method of the potion. The materials of the forgotten potion just now are more suitable, but other potions may not be."

Snape had no interest in Muggle chemistry. He just nodded slightly, and then said to Sean: "Everyday homework is in the form of essays, so you should be familiar with writing essays. After the exam, the course will be over."

Pause. During this time, I need you to write a detailed paper on the changes to the formula of the forgetfulness potion and hand it over to me. After I check it and there are no major problems, I will guide you to send the paper to the founder of the Wizengamot.

The potions journal "The Golden Crucible", if your paper can be published in the "Golden Crucible", then your path in the magic world will be better in the future."

Golden crucible?

Potions Journal?

Is there still such a thing in the magic world?

If you don't understand, it's customary to ask questions. Besides, after a year of getting along with each other, Sean was able to be a little more arrogant in front of Snape.

"Professor, what is "The Golden Crucible"?"

"If your hearing is fine, I think what you just said should be very clear." Although he said this, Snape still explained to Sean: "The Golden Crucible was founded by the Wizengamot of the Ministry of Magic.

One of the many magic journals, it is the most authoritative journal on potions in the magic world. Articles that can be published in "The Golden Crucible" are of a certain level. Authors who can also publish articles in "The Golden Crucible" will receive a certain level of recognition.

fame and money.

For example, the research on the werewolf virus you just read, the most famous of which is Damocles. He is currently researching a potion that can keep werewolves sane after transforming. During his research, every time he studied

In a new stage, the research results will be written into papers and submitted to "The Golden Crucible". Currently, he has published fourteen papers. According to the records in the papers, Damocles will be able to prepare a formula to keep werewolves sane in about a year.

The magic potion, and even if he has not completely developed the magic potion, he has already gained a lot of investment and great fame based on these papers."

Sean had an impression of this potion, it was called Wolfsbane potion.

According to Snape's explanation, Sean also understood that the journals in the magical world are actually very similar to the scientific journals in the ordinary world. As for whether the magical world imitated the ordinary world, or the ordinary world borrowed from the magical world, then

It's not something Sean can know.

"I understand. I will take it seriously and I will give you the article before the holiday."

"Okay, if there is nothing else, you can leave."

What he said just now has almost caught up with what Snape said in three days. Now that the matter was explained clearly, he had no intention of talking nonsense with Sean anymore and kicked him out directly.

Leaving Snape's office, Sean was thinking about magical journals such as "The Golden Crucible". These things were something Sean had never heard of. This also proved that the wizarding world was definitely more complicated than Sean imagined.

Big, the magical world in this world is definitely not just Hogwarts, not just the British magical world, it also has a wider world.

Back in the common room, Sean took a deep breath to calm down.

The paper did need to be written, and while writing the paper, Sean also had to pay attention to Harry's situation. In the second half of this school year, Sean and Harry communicated less and less, often only in the same room.

There were only some exchanges in class. This was because Harry was investigating the Philosopher's Stone and deliberately avoided suspicion with him. It was also because Sean was too busy and had no extra time to deepen the exchange.

According to Sean's memory, before preparing to steal the Philosopher's Stone, the two-faced Quirrell disguised himself as a letter from the Ministry of Magic to lure Dumbledore out of Hogwarts. At that time, Harry went to stop Quirrell.

So you only need to pay attention to when Harry goes to Dumbledore, and you will know when Harry will take action. At that time, it will be time for Sean to prepare to implement his plan.

Please add it to your favorites, vote it up, and read it. Also, if you find anything wrong, you are welcome to point it out and I will patch it as soon as possible. Finally, I would like to thank [the one who has a good temperament] for the 200 starting coins.
