Chapter 173 Potions Lesson

After Hufflepuff and Slytherin's Charms class was over, as soon as the little wizards left the classroom door, they could see the senior Hess who had led the way waiting there early.

The young man with arms folded and lazily leaning against the wall saw the classroom door open, and changed his loose and lazy posture—he raised his head and straightened his waist.

His eyes swept across the little wizards who came out one after another, seemingly carelessly, but actually counting the numbers carefully.

After confirming the number of people, he beckoned to signal the little wizards to follow.

"I'll take you to the Potions classroom, follow closely."

Perhaps it is to let the little wizards get to know the professor as soon as possible and have a preliminary understanding of various subjects. The first week of the first year of school is very closely scheduled. After the Charms class, there is the Potions class, and the Potions class After class, it is lunch time for the little wizards.

The little wizards obediently followed Senior Hess, and with the convenience of the stairs, they reached their destination with less time and effort.

Senior Hess looked at the little wizards entering the classroom in full numbers again, and let out a hache lazily.

……

In the potion class, Tom still relied on his seasoned operation experience to complete the potion preparation skillfully, concisely and neatly. Abu, who was in the same group as Tom, had long been familiar with the rhythm of Tom's potion blending, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

Although Professor Slughorn has been carefully watching the movements of each little wizard to prevent any accidents, just a few glances are enough to make him very satisfied with the performance of Tom's group.

"Student Gunter and Malfoy were the first to complete it, and their potions are of perfect quality. I think even Merlin would cry if they don't give them an O." Professor Slughorn said in a tone full of Exaggerated long sentences full of emotion to express his satisfaction with Tom and Abu.

"Five points to Slytherin for the perfect scabies potion!"

Professor Slughorn glanced over all the finished potions submitted by the young wizards on the table in front of him.

"Then—" Professor Slughorn looked at the young wizards who were looking up or down under the podium, and specially raised his voice, "Gentlemen and ladies, please turn your eyes to me."

After seeing all the little wizards looking at him without landing, Professor Slughorn continued: "Now, let me summarize the most common problems that everyone encounters when making scabies potion."

"I hope everyone who just made a mistake in the operation will keep in mind that if there is no problem, you need to pay more attention."

Professor Slughorn cleared his throat: "We can see that the most problems are in the weighing and operation of early materials, especially in the use of balances."

"In the process of making potions, the balance can be said to be an indispensable helper for us. Whenever we add a little more or weigh a little less of a certain material, it will have a certain impact on the efficacy of the potion. "

"So——I hope everyone will take a closer look at the instructions that came with the product when you bought the balance after you go back. In the next class, I don't want to see some things such as taking weights with bare hands, putting wet potion ingredients directly Behavior on the tray."

Seeing some young wizards bow their heads again in embarrassment, Professor Slughorn interrupted: "Oh, gentlemen and ladies."

He continued to tease in a slightly frustrated but expectant tone: "Although I'm not as good-looking as Professor Afu or Professor Dumbledore, I don't think my appearance is so embarrassing." level?"

After all, Professor Slughorn couldn't help laughing.

Maybe Professor Slughorn's laughter was too contagious, or maybe his twitching belly was too easy to make people laugh, and the laughter of the little wizards followed one after another.

Professor Slughorn watched the depressed mood of individual little wizards disappear, and then continued to add cheerfully: "Children, we are not machines, and we will always make mistakes."

"I've often made mistakes in mixing potions, too, so it's not something to be ashamed of - everyone makes mistakes."

"I hope that each of you will face up to your mistakes with a focused and serious attitude."

"Maybe someone will laugh at you for making mistakes, but no one will underestimate your determination and actions to correct positively with confidence and ignorance." Professor Slughorn's tone was not serious, even with a smile, But the little wizards could deeply feel the solemnity in his words.

"So keep your heads up, all heads up."

Looking at the shining eyes of the little wizards who lowered their heads earlier, Professor Slughorn smiled more kindly.

"Okay, then let's talk about the problems in the processing of potion materials."

"The first is the thickness of the poisonous snake teeth powder, because the texture of the poisonous snake teeth is relatively compact, and the heating time of the scabies potion is not long, so if you want the poisonous snake teeth to exert their medicinal effects perfectly, you need to grind the poisonous snake teeth into extremely fine powder. powder."

"Beginner wizards may not be able to grasp the degree of 'extreme fineness', so you can use an auxiliary tool - the help of a fine mesh sieve, if the powder can pass through the finest mesh sieve, then it means the degree of grinding of the poisonous snake tooth Achieved."

"However, if you use auxiliary tools, you have to consider the problem of half-way loss, so we need to add a step-use a brush to brush off the powder on the mortar and mesh sieve as much as possible."

"When you have experience, you can get rid of the help of the mesh sieve, and you can process a perfect poisonous snake tooth powder just by the feel. Of course, at this time, if you can, you should try your best to use a brush to remove the powder from the mortar. Powder brushed off."

Seeing the concentration of the young wizards who were either meditating or taking notes, Professor Slughorn nodded secretly.

"The second is the porcupine quill, which is also the most important!"

"Porcupine quills need to be put in after removing the cauldron from the fire," Professor Slughorn said. "If the porcupine quills are put in without removing the pot from the fire, the potion will emit thick acidic green smoke. , with a loud hissing sound, such a potion could even melt a cauldron and burn holes in a man's shoe."

"At this time, if someone is splashed with the potion, red and swollen scabies will appear on their body." Professor Slughorn continued to describe the terrible consequences of operating errors, "Think about it, if such a potion burns the cauldron, then And then it runs down to the ground, gets on your shoes, burns through the soles of your shoes and touches your feet."

"The green smoke will rise up, and then permeate the classroom. When the potion corrodes objects, splashes will inevitably occur, splashing on your arms and faces..." Professor Slughorn followed in a persuasive manner.

"I don't think anyone wants to have a face full of scabies in front of everyone?"
