Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

The students looked at each other, and Sainz spoke again without hesitation: "We need to use a freezing spell, professor!

Frozen eggs are valuable for making ecstasy potions and for treating fevers, and they can be swallowed whole.

Professor Gutierrez looked at Sainz carefully and nodded, "Very good! Five points for Hufflepuff!"

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor then taught everyone the spell and usage of the Freezing Curse.

After being frozen, the snake eggs no longer have the scorching temperature and look more like an ellipsoidal ruby.

In fact, it feels more like a dazzling capsule in the hand, and the size is similar to that of common medicine capsules.

In the end, the snake eggs were not left to any student. The professor took them back and prepared to give them to Madame Pomfrey.

At ten thirty, the bell rang.

It was a very fulfilling practical class. After class, the students all felt that they had gained a lot.

However, there was one thing that many students complained about, and that was the paper on the Fire Ash Snake, which was half a foot long and was made of standard parchment.

None of this concerned Sainz, who quickly finished his paper and headed back to the Room of Requirement.

roommate?

My roommates are now busy practicing the Slug Spell. Besides, they have already mastered the hydrology technique and no longer need Sainz to lead the team.

In their own words, "Please, can the next class be in a week?

Are we crazy? Go do your homework now!"

Today's class gave Sainz the urge to start breeding magical creatures immediately, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Forget it, let's wait until the third year. There will be plenty of time after we get the Time Turner."

Time is running out, so it would be a good idea to quickly activate the invisibility technique and go to the restricted book section to learn some truly advanced techniques.

Such as various powerful potions, traceless extension spells, portkey-making spells, etc.

It seems that Animagus-related materials are also in the restricted section, after all, they are not found in the regular book section.

"By the way, now that we are back in the castle and safe, we can practice Apparition."

He had heard that the Ministry of Magic would publish a batch of “Common Mistakes in Apparition and How to Avoid Them” every year, so he planned to find an opportunity to buy one.

Tried the Room of Requirement, but it wasn't there.

"This matter seems a little difficult to handle. If I ask for it at school, wouldn't it be telling others that there is something wrong with me?

What a mistake. I should have gone to the thrift store during the summer vacation to find some good stuff!"

He thought that such books were probably disposable, and would be of no use to senior students after they passed the Apparition license exam from the Ministry of Magic. They would most likely be sold to a second-hand shop.

What should we do now? Should we ask Speed ​​to send a letter to buy it?

I'd better trouble Conte to make another trip.

"Conte!"

"gentlemen!"

"I need you to make a trip to the thrift store in Diagon Alley for me."

"At your command, sir!"

"Thank you so much, please wait a moment, I will write a letter."

Sainz pretended to be a senior student who had lost the Apparition-related booklet issued by the Ministry of Magic and needed to buy an old one to replace it.

After writing it, he checked it again and tore it up again.

Why did he explain in the letter that he had lost his booklet? It only made him look guilty...

Write a new one, stating directly that you are asking for a copy of "Common Apparition Mistakes and How to Avoid Them", and have your boss give it to the house-elf in front of you.

The good thing about being able to Apparate is that in less than ten minutes, Conte brought back what he wanted, and also brought a lot of snacks for Speed.

She was the one feeding him most of the time lately.

The plants in the greenhouse area are thriving. The Christmas cactus cultivated last year has grown into a mature plant more than four meters tall. Its spread thorny stems stretch out more than ten meters and occupy five to six hundred square meters. It has become a qualified gate guard.

The devil's snare has also grown up and is now about the same size as the Christmas cactus.

The long stem of the devil's snare has no thorns and is smoother, but the devil's snare's reaction is much more sensitive than that of the Christmas cactus and its power is also stronger.

The poisonous tentacle is also being cultivated, but it is currently just a cutting and is of little use.

There were countless other kinds of herbs in the greenhouse, and now he could be self-sufficient in a large part of the materials needed to prepare potions.

Release the jumping bulb from the cage and let it move around.

This guy never rests for a moment. He provokes this one and then that one. But he is a rookie and cannot beat anyone. He is beaten up all over.

To prevent it from being killed by other plants, Sainz had to lock it up and only let it out for a limited period of time each day.

The real killer plant, Mandrake, is not available in Sainz's greenhouse at the moment. They are all in Greenhouse No. 3, and he is not interested in stealing for this.

After inspecting the plant area, he continued his research on the invisibility spell. This was a time-consuming and slow job, so he had to just take his time.

………………

There are two consecutive Potions classes on Friday morning.

Snape still had the same slicked-back hair and big black robe as always.

After spraying poison as usual, he began to instruct everyone on how to prepare the swelling potion.

This potion can cause swelling of any part of the body it touches. If it is poured on a little mouse, it will no longer be a "little" mouse, but will become more agile and run faster.

The specific ingredients and operation steps were marked on the blackboard by the Potions Professor using magic.

It's very simple, and the only ingredients used are one standard ingredient, two spoons of dried nettles, three parts puffer fish eyes, and one part bat spleen.

Specific cooking method:

Put two spoons of dried nettle into a mortar and grind it. Then add three portions of puffer fish eyes and grind them together.

Cover one portion of the standard ingredients in a crucible with distilled water and bring to a boil.

Add the ground mixture.

Heat over medium heat for twenty seconds.

Wave the wand once.

Simmer for forty-five minutes.

Add one Bat Spleen to the cauldron.

Stir the wand four times counterclockwise.

Heat on low heat for another thirty seconds.

A final wave of the wand completes the potion.

The finished swelling potion will be a nice bright orange color.

During the whole process, what you need to pay attention to are several time nodes, and don't forget to wave the magic wand when necessary.

After seeing the preparation method, everyone started fiddling with their own scales and preparing their own ingredients.

A minute later Snape's cold, slow voice sounded.

"madness!

Dane, do you want me to open your head and tell you again?

Wet materials must not be weighed directly on the balance!

I can't believe there's another person who also can't remember this, no wonder you two are partners!

Do you know who I'm talking about?

Enriquez!

I'm sorry to hear that you two lost five points for Hufflepuff, five points each!"

Sainz took the time to look up, and after scolding them, Snape turned to the middle of the Ravenclaw table.

"I really wonder how you were sorted into Ravenclaw, Dodger!

Maybe the Sorting Hat took a nap?

You're not much smarter than those two idiots just now!

Would using a beaker make you look too ordinary? You must use filter paper as a liner!

Three points for Ravenclaw!"

I don't know if Armando Dodge really realized his mistake, but after being scolded, he hurriedly looked for his flask.

Snape wandered to the test bench of Sainz and Adam, stood there for a while, snorted coldly, and left.

Everyone finished their work before the get out of class was over, except Sainz, and few others were able to get the bright orange potion.

Some people got a piece of black "chocolate" in the crucible, while others' medicine liquid all rose into pink steam and disappeared, leaving only a pile of hay.

Someone else cooked a pot of green soup with pus-filled pustules in a cauldron, which was exactly in line with the Muggle stereotype of wizards.

Snape looked coldly at the audience below the podium, as if he was looking at a bunch of disgusting stinky shit. "Pathetic!"
