“What is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?”
"They are all the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum, which is a slightly poisonous plant."
“With the naked eye, how can you tell whether the medicine for treating scabies is brewed correctly?”
"If this potion is brewed correctly, pink smoke will rise from the crucible, and the potion itself will appear almost sky blue."
"What kind of magic potion can be made by mixing lionfish spine powder with Hokrapu juice?"
"Herbicide, Professor. But in addition to this, you need to add two drops of Florob caterpillar slime."
"..."
Five minutes later, Professor Snape finally stopped his barrage of questions and looked at Harry in front of him with a complicated expression.
Although this child looked like a miniature version of James Potter from the outside, his eyes and his familiarity with potions made Severus Snape seem to see
Shadow of Lily Evans.
There is no doubt that the child inherited his mother's talent for potions.
"All...answers are correct."
Snape nodded noncommittally, took the initiative to look away from Harry, stood up and walked back to the podium - those eyes were so similar.
"It seems that you read through the textbook before class, and it's pretty good. Now..."
As he spoke, Snape's eyes moved on the faces of the little wizards who were sitting in the classroom watching the excitement, frowned, and said coldly.
"What are you still doing? Why don't you write these down quickly?!"
Like waking up from a big dream, there was suddenly a rustle of quills and parchment in the classroom.
In the midst of this slightly noisy sound, Snape tapped his index finger on the desk, hesitated for a few seconds and spoke softly.
"Five points for Gryffindor House. Harry Potter, this is the reward you deserve for those wonderful answers just now."
The Potions class continued, but Harry soon discovered that what he had prepared before no longer had any effect.
Because, compared to Monday, the contents of Potions lessons faced by the first-year wizards of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw were different.
In today's Potions class, Snape did not follow the original rhythm and guide them step by step in preparing and learning about the [Scabies Treatment Potion].
The first thing when the lecture officially started, Professor Snape gave each little wizard two pieces of parchment filled with words.
""Safety Management System for Potions Classroom" and "Cleaning Procedures for Commonly Used Potions Utensils", under the suggestion of Miss Kaslana, I have compiled these two basic normative instructions for the time being. I hope you will take the time after class.
Recite and memorize.”
In the blank eyes of all the young wizards, Snape whispered expressionlessly.
"I suggest you keep this matter in mind, because before the class starts next week, I will randomly call on the students in the class to memorize them - by the way, this will also be part of the final exam."
Although these regulations may seem cumbersome and retarded at first glance, based on Elena's practical experience as an assistant in the Potions class this week, they are indeed very effective in preventing students from being injured due to various low-level reasons, and greatly reducing magic.
Accidents caused by improper operation in medicine class.
Therefore, after Snape modified and improved some of the details, he naturally used it directly without any ceremony.
The group of first-year wizards on Friday morning were quite lucky to be the first pilot group to "eat crabs" in the entire Hogwarts Castle - of course, not just first-year students.
In fact, starting from Potions class next week, Professor Snape will implement this rule in all grades and classes in the school.
According to Snape, all students in Hogwarts Castle who need to take potions classes must memorize these rules and regulations.
However, this is not the biggest change in Potions Class.
"Okay, everyone. Now please put away the "Magic Potions and Potions" textbook on your desk. You don't need to use it in today's subsequent courses. Before you come into contact with the real potion materials, you still need a certain amount of knowledge.
Just practice.”
After briefly introducing some basic knowledge about Potions, Snape cleared his throat and spoke slowly under Hermione's disbelieving eyes.
As he spoke, Snape waved his wand lightly, and an oval green plant appeared in front of each student's workbench.
Winter melon is a lovely and beautiful plant that originated in China and East India, but as early as the 16th century, it was brought back to the European continent for cultivation along with maritime trade.
And this is what Elena discovered unexpectedly when she was "taking stock" in the Hogwarts vegetable garden.
There is no doubt that winter melon is a vegetable suitable for planting and storage, which is one of the reasons why it appears in continental Europe.
It not only has good heat and cold resistance, but also has white, crisp and juicy meat.
Compared with the Eastern way of eating it mainly as a dish, continental Europe prefers to treat it as a plant between fruits and vegetables - such as winter melon juice, winter melon cutting, or boiled cabbage.
White water stewed winter melon.
More importantly, winter melon is recognized by the chef community as one of the most suitable vegetables for beginners to practice knife skills. After all, its unique internal structure is too safe for novices.
"Quiet!"
Glancing at the whispering classroom, Severus Snape frowned, slightly raised his voice, and effortlessly silenced the classroom in an instant, and order became orderly again.
"Peeling, cutting, and coring... these are the three most common operations we will perform in the subsequent processing of potion materials."
Snape said calmly, while walking to Elena's seat, he stretched out his hand and patted the winter melon on Elena's table.
"The content of today's course for you is to deal with the winter melon in front of each of you - the requirements are very simple, peel off the green hard skin on the outside, clean the inside of the melon, and cut the winter melon into small squares as regular as possible."
"Now, you can all lean forward. I will first demonstrate to you the complete processing method and my requirements for the processing results...and then explain in detail some matters that need attention."
Facts have proved that Elena's deduction was not wrong.
In order to retain the magical properties of potions to the greatest extent, a qualified potion master will use pure handwork or pure driving magic to complete the processing as much as possible when processing many potion materials to avoid deviations.
As a senior Potions Master, Professor Snape's basic skills in knife skills and planing are naturally no less than those of top chefs who have been immersed in the kitchen for decades.
Without using any magic, Professor Snape took less than five minutes to process a large ripe winter melon and turned it into a plate of neatly arranged winter melon cubes - and,
This was because he deliberately slowed down some aspects so that the little wizards could see clearly.
Immediately afterwards, Snape picked up the various tools he had just used and took the trouble to once again demonstrate and explain the basic grip and force methods.
To ensure that this time at least there won't be that stupid guy who holds the knife with his backhand or takes the initiative to put his fingers in the direction of the blade.
"Have you heard everything clearly? Do you see it clearly? I don't want to repeat such a simple and basic thing a second time. Of course, don't let me find out that you are worse than a group of baboons."
Snape raised his head, glanced at the young wizards in the classroom with his empty and indifferent eyes, slowly raised the corners of his mouth in a pleasant arc, and spoke slowly and softly in his usual sarcastic tone.
"By the way, I almost forgot, there is one last thing that needs additional explanation."
"In the lunch you have today, part of the ingredients will use the winter melon you have processed in this class. And everyone must finish it."
"Now, let's get started."
