My name is Snape at Hogwarts

Chapter 60 Potions Lesson Continued

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Felicity Elixir called 'Lucky Potion'." Snape calmly said the last potion, "It is said that just a small tablespoon can make people good luck All day long, all wishes come true, and this bottle—"

Slughorn was already very satisfied, but when he heard that Snape had something to add, his eyes lit up, and he looked at him expectantly.

"This bottle should be a concentrated version of Felicia!" Snape said affirmatively, "Normal Felicians should be golden, and only the concentrated version is this dark gold. I have seen it in the book, and it is said that the entire magic world can make no more than 20 people, it seems that the level of potions taught to you is quite high."

"Very good, very good!" Slughorn said while clapping his hands. "Even I can't say it better. Well deserved, Ravenclaw adds twenty points."

"By the way, if you don't have Mr. Snape's erudite memory, why don't you write it down?" Slughorn reminded the students, when the students were busy writing , Slughorn looked at Snape again.

"You can sit down now, Mr. Snape." Slughorn said with a smile. "When I was your age, I didn't know as much as you. I'm curious, are you a pure-blood family?" Born?"

"I'm half-blood, Professor." Snape looked at him calmly.

"Okay, okay, it doesn't matter." Slughorn nodded with some disappointment, and immediately encouraged Snape, "Birth doesn't mean anything, boy, most of the officials of the Ministry of Magic are Muggle-born. With your blood, I believe that you will have great achievements in the future."

"With your kind words, Professor." Snape nodded with a smile.

Slughorn encouraged him a few more words, and when all the students looked up, he stopped talking to Snape.

"Then, let's start our first lesson, the scabies potion!" Slughorn tapped the chalk lightly with his wand, and the chalk flew straight up, scribbling on the blackboard, and soon the scabies potion The recipe was written on the blackboard.

"This is a very simple potion, and there are only a few kinds of ingredients. There is not much to say about the brewing process. The only thing to pay attention to is, remember, before adding porcupine quills, you must Bring down the cauldron! So, what are you waiting for? In teams of two, let's get started."

"The medicine is in the medicine cabinet, remember, don't waste it."

When the students heard Slughorn's words, they hurriedly started to act. Some took out the crucible, and some went to get the materials. For a while, the professor was very lively.

All the students were divided into groups, and only Snape was left alone, but he didn't care, and went straight to get the materials, and then took out his second-hand crucible.Although the crucible is a bit old, there are no leaks or cracks, only one ear of the pot is missing, which doesn't affect much.

Slughorn wanted to get Snape a new cauldron, but he refused, not wanting to owe him a favor for a cauldron.

The first thing to do is to process the ingredients. First, steam the horned slugs. After the slugs are cooked, put them in pure water and cook until the slugs change color.

"Clear water is like a spring!"

Snape pointed his wand, and a stream of clear water gushed out from the tip of the wand, and soon reached the scale line of the crucible, and then the wand touched the bottom of the crucible, and flames rose directly under the crucible.

After steaming the horned slugs in the cauldron and leaving them aside for the time being, Snape started working on the second ingredient - snake teeth.

The book said that the snake's teeth should be crushed with a mortar, but Snape didn't do that. In his opinion, there was another way.

As soon as his wand pointed at the quill on the table, the quill turned into a strange-looking device, a bit like two stones stacked together. This is the magic tool for grinding powder - stone mill.

However, if you want to use this grinding powder, the size of the snake teeth is still a bit big. Snape thought for a while, took a knife, and laboriously cut each snake tooth into several sections, and then tapped the wand, and the stone mill automatically Started to work, and quickly ground the snake teeth into a fine powder, much finer than pounding with a mortar.

When the horned slug was steamed, Snape hurriedly put it in the water and boiled it.After the horned slug is steamed, it is particularly easy to change color when cooked. If it is not handled properly, it will be overcooked, and the horned slug will be partially cooked, and the quality of the final finished medicine will be affected.

So Snape immediately fished out the tower when he saw that the horned slug had changed color even slightly, and by the time it was placed on a plate, the horned slug had completely changed color.

After cleaning the cauldron and adding water again, Snape began to boil the scabies potion officially.

First put dried nettles and snake tooth powder in cold water, boil until the original ingredients cannot be seen, then add horned slugs, increase the flame, wait until the horned slugs are completely melted in the solution, remove the crucible from the flame Take it off and put in the porcupine quills.

After the porcupine quills were added, pearl-like steam came out of the cauldron, followed by a smell like rotten eggs. Snape squinted his eyes and looked at the crucible, which was already a reddish-brown color. medicine.

After settling for a while, Snape opened a potion bottle, and when he picked up his wand, the potion automatically flew into the potion bottle, and Snape stopped casting spells until there was an unpleasant-smelling residue left in the cauldron.

"Oh? It looks like you've finished it, Mr. Snape?" Slughorn walked behind Snape at some point, looking down at the potion bottle on the table.

"Yes, Professor." Snape nodded, "If there is no error in my operation, it should be finished."

"Pretty perfect." Slughorn picked up the potion bottle, looked at it, and gave such an evaluation, then looked at Snape, raised his eyebrows, "It seems that my reward should not be kept. Living."

Snape smiled, but said nothing.

"Well, gaffes are not a good quality for a professor." Slughorn muttered, then looked at Snape, "You can choose your reward, Mr. Snape .”

"Felix Elixir, without a doubt, isn't it?" Snape said without hesitation.

"Aha, I knew you wanted this, you little wit." Slughorn took out the potion he had put away from his pocket, and placed the bottle of dark gold welfare potion on Snape's desk , "Then, pack your luck."

"Thank you." Snape simply picked up the potion and put it carefully in his pocket.

"I want to remind you, Mr. Snape." Slughorn said, "This bottle of potion is a concentrated version. When you use it, you should pay attention to the dosage. I don't think I need to remind you, Consequences of Felicin overdose."

"Okay, Professor, I remember."
