Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 90 Garlic Planting

  Since Albert showed his talent in Potions, Snape hasn't troubled him again, it should be said that he completely ignored him.

In the morning, after the Potions class was over, Albert and George took advantage of the spare time before lunch to go to the library, returned the "Simple Alchemy", and then borrowed a book on alchemy .

  The name of the book is Extraction, Separation and Potions.

  Albert originally thought that this book was related to potions, but after reading the contents of the book, he was surprised to find that it was a book on alchemy, and the content was to introduce the relationship between alchemy and potions.

  Although potion science is not the same as alchemy, the two still have a great relationship, and there is a partial overlap between the two.

  Some potion raw materials need to be processed through alchemy, and even some potions are directly obtained through alchemy.

  Currently, the most representative is white fresh flavor.

  Baixian essence is something obtained directly by extracting a herbal medicine called Baixian, which is an effective medicine for healing wounds. Using white fresh essence to treat wounds is far more effective than using white fresh essence directly, or using it to prepare potions.

In the book "Extraction, Separation and Potions", there is a detailed record of how to extract the white fresh, which reminded him of making a garlic cross in "Simple Alchemy"... Ahem, Albert quickly shook off the weirdness in his head With the thought, I put my thoughts back to the description in the book about the extraction of white fresh essence.

  Fred and Lee Jordan, who went to the kitchen, returned empty-handed. They sat listlessly on the chairs beside them, and spread their hands toward George with helplessness.

  As Albert expected, the two got nothing, and the house elf did not allow them to take away the garlic in the kitchen.

  This means that the twins' plan has declared bankruptcy before it even started.

   "I warned you a long time ago." Albert looked at the discouraged three and suggested: "Maybe, you can send a letter to your family and ask them to send you some garlic.

   "Are you crazy?" Fred looked at Albert in disbelief, and his voice couldn't help but raise his voice a little bit, "If we dare to do this, we will definitely be beaten with a broom after returning from Christmas vacation."

   "No, I think mom might tell you not to come to school directly, but to stay at home and continue growing garlic." George couldn't help complaining.

   The way of getting garlic from home is not feasible at all, even for research on defense against the dark arts.

   "Do you have any good ideas?" The three looked at Albert in unison, with hope shining in their eyes, as if that was their only hope.

   "Give up!" Albert spread his hands, "Of course, if you really don't want to give up, I suggest you go to Diagon Alley to mail order some garlic."

  The three of them shrank immediately when they heard the words. If they had Garen, would they still need to worry about this matter?

   "So, let's give it up." Albert flipped through the books in his hand, and said indifferently, "Whether it's potions or alchemy, they are all things that cost money."

   "What happened to the three of them?" Shanna glanced at the three listlessly and asked.

   "Nothing, just a little depressed, ignore them for now." Albert said.

   "Don't bother us, unless you can help us get garlic." George waved at Shanna.

Shanna looked puzzled, so she stopped paying attention to the twins. Instead, she chatted with Albert about the homework in Potions class today, and asked him when he was free, and went to the library to finish the article about aconitum together. paper.

  The difficulty of most of the papers lies in finding the information. More people can search together faster. As for how to piece together the found materials into a paper, it depends on their writing skills.

  Albert pulled out the homework sheet from his schoolbag, and after making an appointment with Shanna, he turned his attention back to the book.

  To be honest, Albert hoped to find out the method of making photographs of developing potions and the magic world from the book "Extraction, Separation and Potions".

  In Albert's view, the magic photo is undoubtedly related to alchemy. What is gratifying is that he really found something about it in the catalog.

  While Albert was looking for the formula for making the developing potion and how to use it correctly, he suddenly discovered that a new panel task had been activated.

   Magic photos that move.

  You have already discovered the secret of magic photo movement, and you are trying to learn how to make magic photos, why not give it a try?

   Create three magic photos.

  Reward: 500 experience, get the skill Alchemy.

Until the end of lunch, Albert was thinking about whether he should take the time to make a developing potion and try it. The task does not give much experience, but it would be good if he could directly obtain alchemy skills. After all, the task of the magic lamp needs to light up alchemy Skill.

  Just passing the hall, Albert suddenly heard someone calling himself, he turned his head to look at the three and asked, "What's the matter? I didn't hear clearly just now."

   "We're going to try our luck in the next village." The three of them seemed to have reached an agreement, which was to go to Hogsmeade to see if they could get some garlic, and then get it back and grow it by themselves.

   "Oh, then I wish you luck." Albert patted Fred on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Hagrid definitely has them, if you want..."

   "What is there?" A sudden voice asked.

   "Nothing?" Fred couldn't help being a little embarrassed. They were not familiar with Hagrid, so they didn't intend to disturb each other in this regard.

   Even if he said that he asked Hagrid to borrow a vegetable garden to grow garlic, it was just a joke. Hogwarts is so big, it is not difficult to find a place to dig some soil secretly and grow some garlic.

   "Garlic, we want to study whether garlic can resist dark creatures." Albert changed the topic and asked, "Is there something wrong? It's rare to see you enter the castle."

   "I have something to ask Dumbledore." Hagrid looked at them suspiciously, and walked towards the principal's office. Before leaving, he turned around and said, "If you need garlic, I can provide you with one."

  The three of them looked at Hagrid's leaving back, and looked at each other. They didn't expect that they were still racking their brains, thinking about how to get the garlic.

   Albert helped them get it done with a casual remark.

   "Isn't that good?" George said.

"Hagrid often cooks by himself, and he has a vegetable garden, so there must be no shortage of garlic." Albert glanced at the three people who were embarrassed and said, "This Christmas, just help me think of what Christmas gift to give him. !"

Uh-huh!

   Several people nodded repeatedly, expressing that Christmas would help with ideas.

   "However, I need to remind you that that bit of garlic is not enough." Albert said again. "You guys take the time to grow it yourself, it's easy to grow garlic anyway."

  Originally, this was their plan. As for where to plant it, the three of them had actually thought about it. It wasn't Hagrid's vegetable garden, but the edge of the Forbidden Forest farther away from Hagrid's hut.

   After listening to the plan of the three, Albert fell silent.

  Actually, to grow some garlic, just get a vase and grow it yourself. As for manure, is not the ashes of the hearth the best manure?

  However, Albert did not intend to remind the three of them, so let them toss about this matter slowly!
