Learn magic from Hogwarts

To a certain extent, Professor Snape's character has been figured out by these students.

Noah looked around the classroom.

Among the twelve members, including him, there are four Slytherins, and of the remaining eight, six are Ravenclaws and two are Hufflepuffs.

There is no Gryffindor.

I don't know if he was infected by other houses in the college, but he is particularly concerned about Gryffindor now.

This is probably...not a good sign.

After Professor Snape reprimanded them, he just asked these students to clean the classroom after explaining the activities.

He started class.

He raised his hand, and a chain hung down by his ear. He grabbed it and pulled it.

The white curtain fell behind him, and it turned out to be a projector.

Noah watched with a subtle expression as the light from nowhere hit the white curtain, and a familiar teaching ppt began to appear.

Professor Snape really keeps up with the times.

Noah was in awe of Snape for a moment. The courage to accept Muggle things is indeed admirable for wizards. After all, even Dumbledore would not introduce Muggles' convenient technology.

Such as brighter electric lights.

Snape didn't have these superfluous thoughts that Noah had at the moment. He didn't think there was anything wrong with using the teaching ppt.

"The theme of our event this time is still the improvement of potions." He paused and glanced at Noah, "We have a new member today, so we will study it in pairs."

"Now, you have ten minutes to prepare your respective crucibles and materials."

The crucible is not the one they brought with them when they started school, but the unified crucible provided by Professor Snape.

Different potions require different crucibles to brew, so Snape also directly contracted their crucibles and potion materials.

Those are put in the cabinet at the back of the classroom and they just have to go and get them.

But relatively speaking, cleaning the classroom naturally also includes cleaning these crucibles...

The other members quickly found each other's teammates. They were all familiar with each other and quickly formed a group without much communication.

Only one lone Slytherin walked straight towards Noah.

"Leonard Lu." The visitor introduced himself to Noah, "Let me join you."

"I am……"

"Noah Lannister." Lu Qiang said his name before Noah said it. "I have heard a little bit about the first-year freshman who is called a 'genius'."

The tone of his speech is a bit slow, which makes him feel very gentle and easy to like.

Noah looked at him carefully: "Then please leave it to senior."

Lu led him towards the cabinet at the back of the classroom: "You may not have heard about potion improvement. This is knowledge that even senior students may not be exposed to, so you only need to pay attention to this activity.

Of course, if you have anything you want to know, you can ask.”

Noah nodded: "I understand."

He is quite satisfied with his attitude. At least he is sure that Noah is not the kind of guy who is extremely arrogant because of his talent.

Under Lu's command, Noah took some materials. As for the crucible and so on, Lu selected them all.

The two put their things away, and when they looked up at the ppt, a recipe list for potions already appeared on it.

Noah glanced at it and memorized the things above.

It is indeed not a potion that can be learned in the first grade, but Professor Snape obviously will not give him small lessons or individual guidance just because he has just joined. In his opinion, arranging a teammate is probably the greatest help.

Noah didn't care either, he was confident enough to keep up with the progress of others as soon as possible.

"Do we need to try brewing the potion first, or start trying to improve it directly?" Noah had already picked up the first required material.

While memorizing the formula, I glanced at him subconsciously: "This potion is a potion learned in the third grade. I have brewed it before, and I have some immature ideas. But you can try to get familiar with it first."

Noah put the first plant material into the pot smoothly, then lit the fire, adjusted the size of the flame, and started cooking the material step by step.

He doesn't know enough about potion materials now, and improving them is just a dream. Although there is a lot of knowledge in the book, the in-depth characteristics of potions are still too superficial. He only knows those who can brew the correct potion.

Not bad.

So Noah calmed down, didn't do any unnecessary things, and honestly followed the recipe.

When Snape walked up to him, what he saw was him putting the potion in a standard manner.

"I have a good memory." He said impatiently, "But I remember that my request is to improve the potion."

"Sorry, Professor." Although Noah apologized, he continued to put the ingredients into the potion.

Snape snorted coldly and walked to the next table.

Lu glanced thoughtfully at Noah, who was still expressionless, and said, "Professor Snape is very optimistic about you."

Snape's words just now seemed to be a rebuke to him, but in fact they were reminding Noah not to waste time. Since Noah has memorized the recipe, there is no need to waste time cooking the standard one.

Potion.

This shows that Professor Snape believes that Noah can successfully brew the potion in one go.

Even Professor Snape recognized his "genius".

Lu casually picked up the ingredients that did not exist in the formula: "Ordinary antidote is a relatively common antidote, because common poisons can be offset by this agent. Because the formula is relatively simple, there are already many

An improved version of.”

"However, depending on how well the formula is improved, the effects are not the same." Lu explained to Noah seriously, "My improvement this time was also inspired by an improved version."

The common antidote recipe contains bezoar, mistletoe berries, unicorn horn (silver), and one standard ingredient.

The standard ingredient is a compounding material, which includes a variety of mitigating materials and is also a commonly used compounding material for potions.

The improvement method Lu thought of was to add ginger root when adding mistletoe berries.

Oh, it's ginger.

However, unlike ordinary ginger, this kind of ginger has certain magical properties and its taste is more pungent than Muggle ginger.

But this cannot deny the fact that it is just a piece of ginger. Wizards even use this ingredient to make gingerbread or ginger newt biscuits, which are ginger biscuits with the shape of a salamander and that can move.

Ginger has many uses and can be used in many medicines, such as a potion to treat scabies. The detoxification effect is not obvious.

But Noah didn't say anything. He just waited for Lu to crush the ginger root and add it to the crucible.
