"This is a vomiting agent. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Those who drink it will tell the truth irresistibly. The main material for the preparation of this agent is the rhizome juice of leeches, which is acidified and treated ...

"Oh, Miss Granger, that's what the follow-up course is about the recipe and preparation process." Slughorn quickly stopped Hermione from saying, "Very well, the answer is correct ... then, the next crucible. ... "

Before he finished speaking, Hermione's arms were raised again.

"Well, please say--"

"The crucible is a compound decoction," Hermione immediately said. "It's more complicated to make. It needs ... oh, sorry, professor! I mean, it can make the drinker change his appearance, including his appearance. , Body shape, skin characteristics, etc., to turn the drinker into another person-the formula is characterized by the need to change a little tissue on the subject, and the entire preparation process often takes a month. "

"Well, yes, excellent answer!" Slughorn applauded. "Miss Granger, I even have reason to believe that you may have prepared it yourself ..."

Of course, the old man didn't know. In fact, Hermione had already cooked a pot herself, and it was only when she was in the second grade.

"... So, Miss Granger." Slughorn shrugged. "And this pot?"

"Uh ... uh."

Hermione hesitated infrequently when the old man pointed at the third crucible. Inside the silver crucible was a colorful and looming medicinal solution. At a glance, it seemed as if you could see a calm liquid, but as if you could directly see the bottom of the crucible.

Of course, she didn't know the potion. On the contrary, in the four crucibles, she was the only one who knew the potion.

"... This is a potion of immortality. The invisible potion created by Professor McLean can completely hide the drinker from others, so that others cannot detect his existence. Its main material is the fairy's wings."

Having said that, Hermione paused for a moment before continuing in confusion.

"Also," she said, "this potion was certified by the International Federation of Wizards Potion Management Office in early 1992, and its name was publicly published in the international academic journal" Practical Potions Master "and obtained that Annual Silver Award of the Year. But ... "

"Aha! Miss Granger, I know you have any questions," said Slughorn with a smile. "Yes, according to the Wizarding Federation, the recipe for the Elixir of Elixir must be made after Professor McLean died. It will be announced! But— "

He was talking and suddenly raised an index finger and said excitedly: "If it was Professor McLean ’s intentional transmission, it is not within its limits. Yes, that is to say, there is only our classroom in the world now. Only people here can learn how to make this medicine! "

Broom self-cherishment may allow you to obtain more and longer-term benefits, but as far as Maca is concerned, it is just that the precious potion of Xianyin is not so precious. In fact, he already has a lot of original or improved potion formulas in his hands. Although those potions have not been sent to the Wizarding Federation for verification, they have been sold on the black market for a long time.

Snape mentioned in the first potion class that potions can "gather wealth, increase prestige, brew glory, and prevent death." The first step of Maca can be said to have been initially achieved, then, of course, he will be the second and third steps.

And this has exactly the same effect as his current state, so why not be happy?

At present, Maca is undoubtedly the hot character of Hogwarts, so when Slughorn said these words, the students who heard the medicine of immortal clapping excitedly applauded. Think about it too. Almost all the students in the potion class are very interested in potion and can learn a potion that no one else can. How lucky is that?

"Okay!" Slughorn waved his hand and motioned to calm down, "Miss Granger, your answer to this fairy potion is equally accurate. This is really great! Then ... this What about the last? "

The old man said, and reached for the remaining crucible. The student who was attracted by the scent from the crucible couldn't help but look at it again, his throat agitated.

"This ... uh, it's an obsession." Hermione couldn't help but swallow her mouthful, and her mouth was dry and authentic. "It's medicinal liquid has a unique mother-of-pearl color, and the steam rises in a double spiral when boiling … It can cause a very strong obsession or infatuation in the drinker. Similar to the compound decoction, it also requires the organization of the human body to take effect. "

"That's right!" Slughorn nodded, and heartfelt admiration appeared on his face. "Of course, one thing ... well, Miss Granger, is there anything else you want to add?"

He seemed to be trying to say something, but after a little hesitation, he asked Hermione first.

"Um ..." Hermione blinked, "Everyone smells differently about it, it depends on who they like ... for example, I smell something like books, ink , The roots of a plant, and ... "

After listing several smells, she suddenly pursed her lips and stopped talking.

"Very good," said Slughorn, who was quite empathetic and turned away from the topic. "This is also a part of the obsession, but ... I want to add a little more! The effect of the obsession! Not only for humans-not just for living things. Note that according to the latest research, even if you finally lose a thread on a stinky sock into the liquid, it will also complete the effective step and let the user Obsessed with that ridiculous smelly sock! "

"So, how do you say that?" The old man shook his head and said, "As Miss Granger just mentioned-the effect of the obsession is obsession or obsession, not true love! This obsession is Terrible, it's very dangerous, please don't underestimate it ... "

"... Okay, now." After that, Slughorn waved his wand and took away all four crucibles. "The simplest potion in the course begins-for you, just now Those are still early! Oh, except for the potion of Xianyin ... "

"Why?" A Ravenclaw student asked suddenly.

"Because most of its steps are uncomplicated," Hermione casually said, "except for the first step of the second stage-that involves a very novel theory, Professor McLean and Professor Snape. Together. "

...

As Hermione said to Harry at first, the course is indeed much more difficult than it was in the past. Not to mention the four potions that Slughorn showed to everyone at first, even the "easiest potion" in the mouth of the old man has made students feel great resistance to learning.

So in the potion class the next day, the bald old man figured out a good idea to greatly enhance everyone's desire to learn.

"... I believe everyone has seen it," Slughorn pointed to the smallest black crucible on the desk. "Maybe Miss Granger can also explain the name and function of this medicine. Right? "

As he spoke, the liquid in the small crucible bounced lightly, looking like flowing gold. Although its amount is really very small, no matter who looks at it, it will feel extremely satisfying.

"That's a blessing!" Hermione didn't even come close to watching. She just stood by the little round table on her side and replied, "Some people call it a" lucky potion ". The effect is to bring it to drinkers Good luck all day! "

"It couldn't be more correct!" Slughorn smiled with satisfaction. "Yes, all you need to do to introduce it is-'Good luck all day!' As long as you take it, you will find that whatever you do It's going to be very smooth-sometimes it's like a miracle! "

As he was speaking, he paused, but solemnly exhorted: "However, its preparation process is quite complicated, and even a little mistake will bring terrible consequences. And, please note-it itself is accompanied by It must be toxic, and overdose is strictly prohibited; moreover, its good luck seems to come from 'overdraft'. When the effect of the medicine is over, bad luck will follow ... "

"Unlucky thing?"

Harry was obviously interested in this stuff, and immediately asked Slughorn when he heard side effects.

"That's right ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ unlucky thing!" Slughorn repeated it again. "In fact, our potions have not yet reached an accurate conclusion on this issue. It sometimes It will start to appear after the efficacy has passed, and sometimes there will be an uncertain period of time ... It may even affect the people around the user, maybe it is not true! This side effect is actually also Professor McLean and me Proposed during the discussion ... "

"Have you ever taken it?" Harry asked. "I mean, have you ever experienced the so-called 'bad luck'?"

"Oh, yes ... I tried it two times," said Slughorn. "Of course, luck is obviously not practical to measure, isn't it? I remember, the second time It was when I was fifty-seven years old, and on the third day after taking it, I fell and broke my head ... I don't know if it counts? "

"All in all," he waved, "The most important thing you need to remember is 'do not overdo it.' This is absolutely not wrong! As for occasional moderate doses, that's not a big deal ... at least until now So far, I haven't heard of any problems with taking the elixir! "

"So!" Finally, Slughorn touched the small crucible and smiled earnestly, "A blessing of elixir will be the first prize for the person who made the" living **** soup "!"
