Professor Rupert Hogwarts

Chapter 88 Potions
When they went to the auditorium for dinner in the morning, Eisen noticed that the trio was much more relaxed.

"Good morning, Harry, Hermione and Ron, is my autograph okay?" After sitting down directly, Eisen greeted the three of them, and then looked at Hermione.

"Yes, Professor Eisen, I have borrowed the book!" Hermione smiled slightly, her eyebrows dancing.

"It's good that we're not in danger." Eisen nodded, then looked at Harry, "Tomorrow is the game between Gryffindor and Slytherin. How is Harry preparing?"

"The situation could be very bad!" At the mention of this, Harry suddenly became a little depressed.

"Yes, Professor Eisen, the Slytherin team is riding the fastest broomsticks money can buy. It will be too difficult for Gryffindor to catch up with Slytherin!" Ron also showed his dissatisfaction. color.

"But defeating Slytherin in this way will show your abilities, won't it?" Eisen smiled and encouraged Harry.

"Yes, I will definitely defeat Slytherin." Harry clenched his fist hard, and his blood suddenly boiled.

In his previous life, Eisen felt that there was a saying that was very reasonable, that is, every hot issue was time-sensitive.Apparently, the same goes for the attack at Hogwarts.

Perhaps it was because after the attack, the entire school suddenly became calm and no one was attacked again, or perhaps the upcoming Quidditch match diverted everyone's attention.

Therefore, little wizards rarely mentioned the rumors about the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets anymore.All eyes were on the first Quidditch match of the season.

Slightly different from the usual Quidditch matches, this match really attracted a lot of attention.The reason? On the one hand, it's naturally because the two sides facing each other are Gryffindor and Slytherin, who dislike each other.On the other hand, it was because all members of Slytherin were sponsored by Malfoy's father and rode the fastest broomstick at the moment - Nimbus 2001.

Compared with Gryffindor who was holding his breath, students from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw also wanted to see what advantage Nimbus 2001 could have in the competition.

Of course, compared to Gryffindor, every Slytherin player had a high-spirited attitude, as if they had already won the game.

After class at noon, the trio quietly went to the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

There was no other way, Hermione was determined to place the Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle's territory, with a very valid excuse, saying that no one in their right mind would want to enter the girls' bathroom on the second floor.

But Ron put forward a counterargument, claiming that the last time the three of them entered here to ask for clues, Percy had discovered it.It was obvious that Percy was the kind of person who was not in his right mind.

But in the end, Hermione's opinion prevailed.Because they found that except for the Weeping Myrtle territory, there was no quiet place where they could successfully configure the potion.

No way, the trio didn't know about the Room of Requirement, so they had to sneak around in the girls' bathroom.

"Oh my god, no wonder this book has to be placed in the restricted area, it's so evil!" When Hermione carefully opened "Power Potion", Ron just took a look at it, and showed his fear. Shocked look.

Some of the illustrations in the book were disgusting: a man turned inside out, a witch with arms protruding from his head.

If Eisen saw these, he would definitely doubt whether this was drawn by the master of the Ke family.

Hermione didn't think too much, and quickly flipped through the book, quickly finding the page marked Polyjuice Potion at the back.

"Look, it's here!" Hermione paused and pointed excitedly at the illustrations on the page.

Harry and Ron looked over and saw that several people on the illustration were rapidly changing into the appearance of other people under the influence of some kind of potion.However, judging from his ferocious expression, it looked like he was in great pain, which gave Harry an unknown premonition.

"This is really the most complicated potion I have ever seen." After carefully reading the recipe for polyjuice potion next to the illustration, Hermione, a top student, couldn't help but muttered.

"Some of the ingredients are easy to find: lacewings, leeches, clover, and amphorae." Hermione ran her finger over the ingredient list. "These can be found in the student cupboards. Oh my god - and the grinds. Powdered bicorn horns and fragments of snake skin from African snake trees are difficult to obtain. Of course, you also need something from the person you want to change!"

Since some materials could not be found in the student lockers, Hermione set her sights on Snape's private warehouse.But both Harry and Ron were extremely surprised by Hermione's decision.

You know, this kind of behavior is very risky and will definitely violate dozens of school rules.They didn't expect that Hermione would actively violate school rules one day.

"Okay, so how long does it take to prepare this potion?" Harry asked a key question.

"Well, the clover needs to be picked on the day of the full moon, and the lacewing needs to be cooked for more than 20 days - if all the ingredients are found, it can be cooked in almost a month." Hermione did a simple calculation. , and an approximate time is given.

"A month?" Ron exclaimed in shock, "By then half of the Muggles in the entire school will have been defeated by Malfoy!"

Seeing that Hermione was about to lose her temper, Ron quickly added, "But this is the best plan we can think of. Let's act quickly!"

"If you can knock Malfoy off the broom tomorrow, I think we won't be in so much trouble!" Before leaving, Ron winked at Harry quietly, coming up with a brilliant idea.

On the other side, Eisen did not pay attention to the actions of the trio. Instead, he found a few ancient magic texts and alchemy books in the library and continued to study them.

Eisen took out the speculum he had purchased at the DeVos-Bance store and placed it on the table, intending to do a rough study.

In Eisen's view, the magic spell of the wizarding world can do many incredible things.For example, the Scarpin Appearance Curse, this spell has a very special effect, it can directly detect and identify the ingredients of the potion.

In other words, if a bottle of unknown potion is placed in front of a wizard, the wizard can use the Scapin Revealing Charm to identify the ingredients of the unknown potion.

At first glance, the effect of such a magic spell is a bit outrageous. How can you detect the ingredients of an unknown magic potion out of thin air?But this is the ideal of magical means.

Therefore, when studying the looking glass, Eisen also used similar methods to check the magical means on the looking glass.However, what makes Eisen feel a little disappointed is that he cannot see through the method of making the looking glass for the time being. He can only find a range of magic that detects dark power.

The rest of the place is relatively confusing to Eisen.

For example, in the original novel, Fred and George put beetles in Bill's soup. This prank directly caused Bill's pocket speculum to sound an alarm all the time.But Bill had no idea why the looking glass kept shining.

If a beetle with ill intentions toward Bill appeared in front of him, it would be normal for the Looking Glass to react.This shows that the looking glass can detect the presence of hostility, which is not difficult to achieve using magic.

But the key point is that the beetle was put in by Fred and George. The beetle itself should not know what it is doing, but it was detected by the looking glass.What is the principle?
It is said that the looking glass can follow Bill's thoughts and automatically ignore any other suspicious creatures detected by familiar family members.That doesn’t seem to make sense.

Because there was a scene in the original book where Harry's looking glass alerted the police when Ron's pet Scabbers appeared nearby.But obviously, Harry has long been familiar with Ron's pet Scabbers, and obviously the Looking Glass will not automatically ignore familiar creatures according to the owner's wishes.In this case, why can the looking glass sound an alarm?

Or to put it simply, Peter Pettigrew had traces of dark magic power on his body and was detected.

If the looking glass had these two functions at the same time, then things would make sense.

Thinking this way in his heart, Eisen showed a thoughtful expression.Then, he turned his attention to the books.

Time passed slowly, and when Aisen raised his head from the book, it was already night.

Before the library closed, Aisen put the books back on the shelves and left the library.
