Chapter 58 58. Dudley’s two small goals (please vote)

Dudley spent two days on the weekend with Snape, studying potions for more than 8 hours a day, from afternoon to evening. During this period, Dudley experienced the baptism of 'venom' again and again. If Snape

When the yin and yang strange connotation is contained, it can really make a person angry to death.

After all, it was the first time to make an unfamiliar potion, so it was inevitable that Dudley would make some mistakes in the details.

Decocting, brewing, macerating, ointments, poultices, tinctures, lotions, and potions are more than just boiling something in a cauldron, and that's just one of the seven ways to make a potion.

During Snape's demonstration, he used six methods to make the finished uplifting potion, which was an eye-opener for Dudley.

These have never been imagined before.

After all, the first-grade textbook only teaches one method: decoction.

Snape's demands on Dudley were incredibly high.

More than ten times stricter than others.

It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It’s so outrageous.

Snape only demonstrated it once, and then gave Dudley the homework to use at least three of the above methods to make the uplifting potion.

Then he just let Dudley start making it by himself according to the method he taught.

When Dudley put the ordinary-level uplifting potion that he had made using three methods in front of Snape, he was sprayed with a worthless potion.

"Are all the trolls dancing in your head?"

"Maybe the troll isn't dancing in your head, you're just a troll."

"What's on your mind? Troll snot?"

"."

Snape seemed to link Dudley to the troll, and he would bring the troll with him every time he sprayed.

Dudley always felt that this guy was secretly referring to his body shape.

'If it were me, if it were Lily, I would definitely be able to make a better potion.'

After Snape entered the teaching state, he had only this thought in his mind.

Completely ignoring the fact that they were about to graduate and Dudley was only a first-year wizard now.

If you think about it, you can understand. Who would subconsciously treat a 180cm tall man as an eleven-year-old wizard?

However, this ultra-high standard and strict requirements also aroused Dudley's competitive spirit that refused to admit defeat.

It completely clashed with the invigorating potion.

Taking advantage of the data magic eye, I began to work hard to improve my proficiency in uplifting potions. Anyway, there were not many other things in the potion classroom, but a lot of materials.

How could such a good opportunity be wasted?

So Dudley completely entered the pharmaceutical state.

By Sunday night, the table was already covered with finished products of the uplifting potion.

From the beginning, three methods were used to prepare the ordinary level, and now five methods can be used to prepare the perfect level. Only Dudley himself knows how much he has gone through in just two days.

Just relying on this perfect level of uplifting potion, if Dudley graduates from Hogwarts, he can even go directly to St. Mungo's Hospital to find a job.

However, this only satisfied Snape.

"It took two whole days to barely pass. I really suspect that a troll sneaked into your mind at night. Your talent has really tarnished your aunt's reputation. Don't mention it outside that I taught you."

Snape stared into Dudley's eyes and put away the perfect level of uplifting potion on the table with an expressionless expression.

"If it were your Aunt Lily, she could make it in seven ways in just one day."

Ever since Dudley called Lily his aunt many times in front of Snape, Snape gradually accepted the title and began to use it, and the name became more and more fluent.

Dudley didn't know how talented his little aunt was in potions, but through the side descriptions and words of praise from Petunia and Snape, she was definitely a top potion master.

On the journey of potions, it seems that there is no potion that she does not know how to do, and there is no potion that she cannot make well.

This aroused Dudley's inner desire to compete with her.

Although Snape claimed that he could make the uplifting potion in seven ways in just one day, the possibility cannot be ruled out that Snape was bragging.

But who is Dudley? He is the challenger Dudley who likes to say ‘NO’ to self-righteous people and never admits defeat!

Only the higher the goal is set, the more valuable it will be to achieve.

Dudley has found two small goals at Hogwarts.

The physical quality is based on Hagrid, and the potion level is based on Professor Snape's Aunt Lily.

"Next weekend we will learn about shrink potions and vitality tonics. I hope you can use these few days to preview them and don't behave like a troll today."

Dudley didn't answer, and he didn't even bother to talk to him. After two days of getting along with him, he already understood that for Snape, the angrier you were, the more energetic he would be.

The shrinkage potion is a subject studied in the third grade of Hogwarts. It is a magic potion that can shrink creatures or return them to a younger state. It can even knock a group of pigs into the wizard's pocket. In terms of the difficulty of making it,

The degree of shrinkage potion is under the uplifting potion, but since it was prescribed by Snape, it must not be as simple as an ordinary shrinkage potion.

As for the Vitality Tonic, it was a fifth-year potion course that could replenish the vitality of the user. The potion Dudley gave Malfoy before was a simplified version of the Vitality Tonic, a physical supplement.

"Dursley, why don't you leave yet? Do you want me to keep you for dinner?"

Seeing Dudley staying in the potion room and not leaving, Snape said impatiently: "Then I'm going to disappoint you. I don't have enough food here to satisfy this giant monster like you."

"Professor Snape."

Dudley still maintained a respectful attitude, but Snape was serious about teaching him knowledge even though he was venomous. Although Dudley thought that he was a vulgar person and a rough man, he knew that reverence for a teacher was a word.

He slowly took out a book from behind and placed it in front of Snape.

This is an old potion textbook that looks a bit old, and it is for senior students. This can be seen from the title of the book, "Advanced Potion Making".

In the corner of the yellowed page, there are the words "Half-Blood Prince" signed in small letters.

"Can I take this book back? The annotations written on it will be very helpful to me."

Dudley gently wiped the dust off the textbook as if holding his first love.

Perhaps it was due to Dudley's emphasis on potions textbooks, or perhaps because Dudley never responded and always maintained a respectful attitude towards him, Snape's tone gradually softened, and it was rare that he did not rant.

"Where did you find it?"

Dudley pointed to the bookcase with a pile of old books in the corner of the potions room: "Over there, Professor."

"This book is too early for you." Snape paused as soon as he started speaking. He seemed to think that what he was teaching was also for upper-level students. He then shook his sleeves and said, "If you want, you can take it back and read it first."
