The next morning, the Potions classroom on the first floor of the main castle.
The little wizards from Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff filed in happily.
"Finally, I'm going to learn how to make potions..."
"At home, my parents always stopped me from doing potion experiments. In my opinion, it was just as difficult as making a meal. But they..."
"It is said that the Potions Professor is the only Potions Master currently..."
......
The little wizards chattered in the classroom to express their love for potions class.
Xifa saw several guys with saliva on their lips.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
They connected potions with cooking and drooled...
It's time for class, but the professor hasn't come yet.
The three of them sat together to form a group and chose a position near the row of crucibles in front of the podium.
Luna is inhaling hard.
Xifa couldn't help but think of a hungry little milk cat.
It was a bit boring waiting for the professor, Luna was working, and it was not easy for the two of them to chat.
So, Xifa turned the stirring stick that stirred the crucible, just like turning a pen.
Elise folded her hands and placed her head on them.
Her eyes are gleaming as she plays the role of a little fangirl in Western French performances.
The professor of Potions class is the famous Potions Master--Horace Slughorn.
He is a middle-aged wizard who graduated from Slytherin.
He always dresses himself brightly and always has a cheerful smile on his face.
He has a plump body and a protruding, round belly that attracts the eye.
Give people the image of a good old man.
But if you really think he is a good old man, you are totally wrong.
Horace Slughorn is a man who attaches great importance to fame and wealth. He often attends or holds private parties and constantly attracts new generations and famous wizards.
Externally, he constantly claims that he has rich connections and various celebrity friends.
Now, he is teaching at Hogwarts and also has the intention of attracting new blood.
You know, once a young wizard invested by him becomes a senior official of the Ministry of Magic.
His retirement life will be very nourishing.
In short, as a student, as long as you perform well enough, he will do everything possible to satisfy you, even to please you and win over you.
On the contrary, if you are an ordinary wizard, then he may forget your name in the blink of an eye.
The little wizards in the classroom have already arrived.
As time goes by.
Everyone became quiet.
Waiting for the arrival of Professor Horace Slughorn.
However, until the class time passed, the professor was still missing.
The little wizards couldn't hold it in any longer, and the classroom was filled with whispers.
The professor won’t have class today? But there’s no prefect to inform you!
Just when Xifa couldn't help but wonder whether the professor was temporarily absent from class due to something unexpected.
The door to the Potions classroom was pushed open by a big, chubby hand.
"Isn't this a walrus walking upright walking in?"
Xifa couldn't help but laugh out loud, but he realized that this would leave a bad impression on the professor and immediately lowered his head.
In fact, Professor Slughorn doesn't care about the whole classroom of little wizards.
He won't pay attention to what little tricks Xifa is doing.
Because currently, in his eyes, all little wizards are like gravel at their feet.
Only after going through the course and making waves will there be someone worthy of his attention.
Professor Horace Slughorn, who walked into the classroom swaying from side to side, was wearing a tight waistcoat.
The vest couldn't restrain his round belly at all, and Xifa could feel the painful groan of the fabric.
Professor Walrus hangs a large silver pipe inlaid with dazzling gems.
Considering that there were all little wizards here, he just held it in his mouth and did not light it.
Just to serve as a ostentatious decoration.
Xifa was silent, the bad taste of the rich.
The potion master really made money, so Xifa decided to go back and work harder on the basics of potions.
Facing the eyes of the little wizards.
Professor Horace Slughorn came to the podium.
He quickly glanced at the students and prepared to start class. Yes, he didn't even bother to click their names.
Just when he was about to spread out his textbook and preach according to the book.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the trio in the first row.
The three handsome men and beautiful women made his eyes light up.
His expression went from stiff to flattering in the blink of an eye.
"Okay, students, please take out your textbooks, crucibles, scales and other tools for refining potions. I think you all bought them in Diagon Alley."
Professor Slughorn said with a smile. Of course, his eyes were on the three Xifa people.
It seems like a class is only for three people.
Don't look at talent, just look at appearance. This is also one aspect of Horace Slughorn's behavior.
What's more, a very handsome little wizard was impressed by his potion skills a few days ago.
"Before we start class again, I would like to show the students some high-level potions so that you can experience the fascinating and wonderful effects of potions. Ultimately, I hope that the effects of these potions can stimulate your interest in learning.
”
After speaking, he opened the lids of the crucibles that had been placed in front of the podium one by one.
"Fortunately, I keep a secret every year when school starts. Otherwise, I really don't know how to make these three little wizards worship me."
Professor Slughorn called it a fluke.
First there was an orange-yellow potion that was like juice, then there was a snow-white potion that was like milk, and finally there was a golden potion that was like beating water drops.
Each of the three magic potions was placed in front of the three Westerners.
They couldn't help but stare at the beautiful luster of the potion.
It seemed that he was very satisfied with the potion he made, and the eyes of the three people were attracted.
Professor Slughorn nodded and excitedly asked questions to the little wizards present.
"Does anyone know what these potions are?"
What he didn't know was that Xifa didn't understand it at all, so he naturally wanted to observe it carefully.
Elise, on the other hand, wanted to challenge her knowledge of potions that she had swallowed whole.
Luna is analyzing and looking for the fatal flaw in Professor Slughorn's potion.
Professor Slughorn's inquiry exit.
The three of them each had their own thoughts. Many other little wizards looked at each other in confusion.
"Professor, these potions don't seem to appear in the textbook."
A little wizard from Ravenclaw couldn't help but said.
"Of course, the textbooks are full of simple and easy-to-use potions, and there are many substitutes. I don't think that will interest you. So I took it upon myself to show you some advanced potions."
Professor Slughorn admitted that his question was out of scope, but he hinted at his superior level.
"This little fairy. I think you seem to know something. Can you share it with everyone?"
Professor Slughorn saw a look of understanding in Elise's eyes.
He quickly asked Elise in disgusting language.
There is no little witch who doesn’t like to be praised! Professor Walrus thinks so.
"The first orange-yellow potion is translucent in color and smells like orange peel. I think it may be a physical potion. After taking it, your physical strength will be maintained at its best until the effect of the potion disappears."
To be honest, neither Elise nor Xifa has ever seen the physical strength potion, and Elise has only just deduced it. Xifa can only look at this potion that perfectly matches the sobriety potion with surprised eyes.
After a pause, Elise continued,
"The second one looks as smooth as milk, with ice crystal particles vaguely condensed around it, and has a pungent smell of chili pepper. I guess it is an anti-cold medicine."
Although she said uncertain words, seeing the surprise on Professor Slughorn's expression, Xifa knew that Elise was right.
"The last one is the elixir of blessing, which will bring good luck after taking it. The disadvantage is that the refining time is too long."
Elise quickly finished the last potion.
"Exact description, what's your name?"
Horace asked in a loud voice.
"Elise Fergus! Professor!"
"You are the granddaughter of Principal Fergus!"
Professor Slughorn, who had never stayed at school, was indeed meeting Elise for the first time.
Usually, after class, he usually returns to the office to complete school tasks, and then leaves the castle to experience life outside.
"Very good, Ravenclaw plus ten...no, twenty points!"
Professor Slughorn shouted excitedly.
"I think you can write these down. After all, they are not things that will appear in textbooks. Maybe you will be lucky enough to take them in the future, especially the Fuling Elixir, which will really make people feel wonderful. Uh, this
Miss, do you have any questions?"
The middle-aged Walrus, who had been so excited just now, seemed to have been strangled by someone's neck, and his words of praise for his prowess suddenly stopped.
If it were someone else, he would completely pretend not to see it.
However, the person who raised her hand was Luna in the trio.
"Professor, although what Elise said is right, I think the flaws in these potions need to be pointed out so that everyone can understand them."
Then, Luna ignored Professor Slughorn's pale expression and trembling lips, and loudly taught science to her classmates.
"The method of brewing this stamina potion is very standard. However, this potion starts to take effect the moment it is formed. If it is not used immediately, this pot of potion will turn into a pot of orange-flavored drink after up to half a day. Moreover,
One of the most important materials is the fresh blood of the ball escape bird. As far as I know, the blood of the ball escape bird has now surpassed the price of dragon blood, and the most important thing is that if you don’t add some blood-tonifying medicine formula at the right time,
, I’m afraid you will fall into a severe period of weakness after the effect of the medicine wears off. It saves money and trouble, but the side effects will be unforgettable for your entire life.”
"This anti-cold potion uses habanero peppers. Although the spiciness of this kind of pepper is mild and long-lasting, it lacks the instant explosive power compared to Carolina peppers. Taking this potion will weaken the cold current of the snowstorm.
At this time, the anti-cold potion that is only suitable for taking under windless conditions will be ineffective. As for the benefits of using habanero pepper in it, have you seen this milky white potion? The normal potion is turbid and blood red. "
"There's nothing much to say about the final elixir. I followed the standard steps exactly and took the same time as described. That's only half a year."
Luna disdainfully pointed out Professor Slughorn's shortcomings in teaching potions one by one.
***The author has something to say***
During the day, I will make up for the phantom body spell, etc., as well as the magic system similar to the difference between immortal magic and ninja magic.
Let the pig's feet practice for a few more months, and the Halloween script will be developed~
