Hogwarts: From Luna's family to god

Under the dim firelight, it was difficult to see what was contained in these strange-smelling glass jars.

Terry approached the glass jars and immediately took two steps back, "Hey! These are animal specimens? Why are they all so weird?"

"They should be specimens of magical animals." Weizet also came over and carefully identified the specimens. "Some transparent furry monsters should be invisible beasts, and the snakes with bird heads should be bird snakes."

Luna likes the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" very much, and it was also the first textbook he read thoroughly.

In addition, these specimens were well preserved, so he could easily identify the corresponding species.

What he thought was a matter of course opened the eyes of all his roommates.

Terry clicked his tongue in surprise, "No wonder you are a difficult student in sorting...you actually know it so clearly!"

"'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' was so fun that I watched it twice," Wieset said.

"It's not just that, is it?" Chris interjected, "I remember you said just now that you copied the textbook?"

Michael scratched his hair, "Really? Why didn't I know?"

Chris teased: "All you can think about is the beautiful Prefect Penello, it's weird that you noticed that!"

The long tables placed in the classroom were scarred and covered with traces of burns and corrosion.

The Ravenclaw students all arrived earlier, but because of Snape's notoriety, they did not choose to sit next to the podium.

Terry asked: "Weizet, why don't you sit back and order?"

Weizet shook his head, "The light here is not very good. To be on the safe side, we should stay close so we can see more clearly."

"Awesome!" Anthony said sincerely, "It's not without reason that you can understand so much at the beginning of school!"

"Indeed!" Michael agreed, "To dare to face Professor Snape directly requires not only extraordinary wisdom, but also extraordinary courage."

Weizet was a little dumbfounded, "It's not that exaggerated, it's just convenient for learning. And you haven't gotten along with Professor Snape, so why are you starting to be afraid of him?"

This Potions class needs to be shared with Hufflepuff, and there are more and more people in the classroom.

However, no matter how many people come, they will choose a seat at the back and as far away from the podium as possible.

Until five minutes before class, no one dared to sit in the seat next to Weizet.

Until the school bell was about to ring, a girl with two golden braids hurried over.

Except for the tables and chairs under the podium, everyone near her was occupied. With no choice, she could only sit next to Weizet.

It was Hannah Abbott, the girl who was first sorted.

She wiped the sweat from her cheeks, hurriedly laid out her textbooks, and then breathed out a sigh of relief.

Snape also rang the school bell, his black robes fluttering and floating into the classroom like a big bat.

He stood condescendingly on the podium and glanced at Hannah who was blushing, "One point deducted from Hufflepuff. You were almost late for the first class. How dare you?"

Hannah buried her head in her chest, her body trembled slightly, her face turned red, and she seemed about to cry at the next moment.

The other students were silent, and the whole classroom seemed to be frozen.

"Now let's start the roll call." Snape said no more, his tone was cold and short, "Hannah Abbott!"

"Here...here!"

The roll call was very fast, and everyone did not let down their guard. They shouted almost as soon as their names were called.

"Yes, there is only one fool today." Snape finally softened his tone after making sure everyone was present.

"As beginners, if you don't even have a sense of time, my suggestion is to leave here as quickly as possible to avoid harming others and yourself."

"Potions is a precise and rigorous subject. Whether it is destruction or rebirth, it is all contained in the steaming crucible."

"I actually don't expect you to really understand the charm of potions and what they can bring to you..."

"As long as you follow me exactly and imitate every step obediently, wealth, prestige or honor will all be at your fingertips."

Students are afraid of Snape, and for good reason.

He is like a king, and the Potions classroom is his palace. Here he can control everything, even the behavior of the students.

After saying these words, he did not start the formal teaching, but glanced at Weizet from the corner of his eye.

"Mr. Lovegood, don't you have a textbook? Why did you bring a children's picture book to class? This is not a painting class."

Chapter 32 The use of magic eyes

Weizet stood up and explained calmly: "Professor Snape is like this, my scholarship is only thirty galleons."

"If I used it to buy new books, the remaining money would not be enough to buy the supplies on the list, so I copied all the textbooks."

"It's touching, like listening to a vulgar inspirational story." Snape's face was expressionless and his voice was long, "Since you can make your own textbooks..."

"You must be familiar with the contents, right? What materials are used in the formula of boil treatment potion? What symptoms does it mainly target?"

Hearing this, the other students quickly opened the book.

Before they turned to the page about boil treatment potion, Vizet had already spoken.

He said clearly: "Half a crucible of water, four ground snake teeth, three horned slugs need to be steamed, two portions of dried nettles, and a porcupine quill."

"The boil treatment potion is mainly used to treat common pustules, measles, and boils. It can also have a good effect on some symptoms of lymph tuberculosis. As long as it does not involve magical damage, it is a special medicine."

"Before adding the porcupine quills, if the boiling temperature is in place, the crucible will rise with pink smoke. The purer the pink smoke, the more skilled the potion master is."

Snape curled his lips and swept his cold eyes across the classroom, "Why don't you start preparing the materials? Are you waiting for me to serve you?"

Except for Vizet, everyone else shuddered in unison, and hurriedly took out the materials and took out the corresponding amounts.

Snape was not idle. He waved his wand to make various materials fly to the table and wrote down the key points on the blackboard:

Grind the snake fangs as finely as possible, open the lid to observe the steamed horned slugs more often, and it is best to see the black color under the transparent cortex. Stir five times clockwise when bubbling, remove from the heat and add porcupine quills...

Although the method of making boil treatment potion is not difficult, it takes a lot of time to prepare the materials, and the operation must be meticulous.

Even if the preparation time is not counted, they have to boil for at least half an hour to complete the potion.

In such a tight time, they also have to record the time spent on each step and endure Snape's inspections.

Snape walked with his long robe flying in the wind, wandering in the classroom like a ghost, and almost everyone felt a chill on their backs.

Facing the slugs covered with mucus, Hannah held the tweezers but did not dare to do it, and her body trembled violently.

Vizet noticed Hannah's embarrassed expression and pushed the snake tooth over. "You take care of this? Don't worry, there's enough time."

Hannah nodded with gratitude and focused on grinding the snake tooth.

Vizet picked up six slugs with tweezers and put them into the steamer.

Under the high temperature, the slug's mucus solidified and its body shrank.

He used the magic eye and found that the slugs in the steamer were different.

The loose magic circuits of the slugs were also shrinking, and a regular symbol was about to be formed.

Is this the reason for steaming the slugs?

Vizet thought to himself, without opening the lid, and only used the magic eye to observe the symbol changes.

"Why don't you open the lid?" Snape appeared behind him, and a sinister voice sounded, "Or do you plan to steam the slugs for ten minutes according to the book?"

Hannah's hands trembled, and she almost crushed the stone mortar.

The people around him reacted quite well. They held their breath and hardly dared to communicate.

"Of course not, Professor Snape." Vizet didn't even raise his head, paying attention to the changes in the magic circuit of the slug. "If you open the lid frequently, it will affect the final product."

"That's right." Snape pursed his lips and stood behind Vizet, paying attention to the timer next to him from time to time.

After seven minutes, Vizet picked up the tweezers, took out two of the slugs, quickly covered the lid, and recorded the time.

Snape's eyes narrowed. The two slugs taken out were translucent, and the transparent cortex was deep black.

His cheeks moved, and he folded his hands across his chest without saying a word.

After seven minutes and forty seconds, Vizet opened the lid again, took out the remaining slugs, and recorded the time again.

There were a total of six horned slugs. After steaming, they were of the same shape and size, and the appearance was exactly the same. They were all excellent products.

"Not bad!" Snape looked at Vizet deeply and wandered around the classroom again.

The Potions classroom was still very depressing, but Vizet was not affected by the atmosphere. Instead, he enjoyed the quiet atmosphere.

Whether it was slugs, snake teeth, dry nettles, or porcupine quills, they all had their own magic symbols.

With the help of the Magic Eye, Vizet put the materials into the pot one by one and boiled them, watching the symbols being broken and reshaped into exquisite and complex patterns.

He enjoyed the process and felt like a painter, sketching various materials into interesting pictures.

As Snape said at the beginning - both destruction and rebirth are contained in the steaming crucible.

The mixture in the pot turned into a deep green, then turned into a turbid blue, and began to "gurgle" and bubble.

Vizet glanced to the side, "Hannah, it's already bubbling, now you should stir it five times clockwise."

"Okay! Okay!" Hannah nodded repeatedly, picked up the spoon and dipped it into the crucible, stirring carefully.
