The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 25 The Eve of Halloween (Part 1)

Time flies fast at Hogwarts.

As the weather grew colder, October came... A damp chill seemed to pervade the castle, and a common cold began to spread among the students and teachers.

Madam Pomfrey specially asked Professor Snape to prepare a kind of refreshing medicine. After taking this medicine, the whole head would be on fire, steaming out, but the cold was soon gone.

Jon has been feeding two South African red spider mites with the tranquilizer that Professor Kettleburn gave him.

Their state seems to be much better, although it is not clear that it is the effect of the potion, or the basilisk has stopped activities at Hogwarts during this period of time.

...

In fact, Jon Hart has rarely been alone in the Hogwarts castle after the first Sunday.

Every morning and evening, I followed a group of Hufflepuff first-year students in and out of the common room.

It's impossible for the basilisk to attack people in the castle in broad daylight, right? Even less likely to get into the two barrels at the entrance to the Hufflepuff common room?

The kitchen is rarely visited, usually once a week or two... Fortunately, Klein and the other house-elves eagerly fill his pockets with snacks and eat more than enough for a week.

The time spent practicing spells in the Room of Requirement was also greatly shortened. Generally, he would go there only at noon and when there was no class.

The practice of the eye disease spell has progressed quite well. Now he can easily smash the eyes of the movable dummy with a spell, but he does not know how effective it is in actual combat; however, Occlumency has encountered a lot of trouble, and it seems that there is no progress. Strictly speaking Said he had no idea how far he had practiced Occlumency. After all, the Room of Requirement couldn't make an active dummy that could release Legilimency.

Normal classes continue.

The Transfiguration class is still the same, and his performance is not very bright; the top scorer is Ginny Weasley, she can now turn a teapot into a mouse, and Professor McGonagall can say that she is full of praise .

Jon had been avoiding getting too close to Miss Weasley, who might have thought his name was John Hat.

Colin Creevey and Miss Weasley had a good relationship, and they often whispered together in class; Jon couldn't help but hold a moment of silence for the short Gryffindor boy.

The grades in the Charms class were similar to the Transfiguration class, and they were in the middle and upper reaches of the class; Professor Flitwick was recently teaching them how to use the "Floating Charm", and it took Jon about a week to successfully cast it.

The herbal class was pretty good, and Professor Sprout admired him a lot... But first-year students can't really do practical classes yet, and Professor Sprout just taught them how to tell the difference between a wrinkled fig and an aconite, and Take them to know dangerous plants such as Devil's Web and Mandrake.

Not to mention the potions class. In every class, the potions he and Astoria prepared were so successful that even a teacher who was mean and biased to Snape's level couldn't help but praise him. He several times.

"You may be the only non-Slytherin student who has been praised by Professor Snape!" Hufflepuff's prefect Gabriel Truman said excitedly to him when he heard the news.

"Definitely not... at least the second..." Jon thought in his heart.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class was still a farce, and Professor Lockhart in turn asked the students to read the contents of his book aloud.

At the climax, he would invite a beautiful Ravenclaw girl named Melinda Poppin to perform with him.

Due to the habit of previous life, Jon will listen carefully in every class until the professor announces that the get out of class is dismissed.

...

Almost in the blink of an eye, October is gradually coming to an end.

Jon knew very well that the quiet life at Hogwarts would not last long.

"The Forgotten Potion may be the most profound potion you need to learn in the first grade!" On the last day of October, in the potions classroom, Professor Snape's icy voice spread through every corner of the classroom: "Be honest. Say, I don't have any confidence that you will configure it successfully now, I just hope you don't fail too stupidly!"

As she spoke, with a loud bang, Madeleine Yaxley's cauldron exploded.

"Idiot!" Snape growled, wielding his wand and sweeping the potion off the floor.

"Didn't I remind you that you should add hellebore first, and then you can add Silence Bird's feathers? I don't know how you got sorted into my academy!"

Ignoring Madeleine who was crying there, he turned his attention to the first row.

Looking at the muddy mixture in Jon and Astoria's cauldron, he smiled contemptuously: "It seems that Mr. Hart and Miss Greenglass don't succeed every time!"

"No...Professor!" Astoria gathered up her courage, raised her head and said, "We haven't added licorice yet."

While she was speaking, Jon had poured a small bottle of dark green liquid into the cauldron... I saw a rapid and violent change in the cauldron, the muddy mixture began to dissolve little by little, and finally there was only emerald green liquid in the whole pot. pure liquid.

"Good job... not bad..." Snape said dryly, then walked away.

Astoria hurriedly got up and went to the last row to comfort Madeleine who was crying silently.

Jon quickly packed his things and rushed to the Room of Requirement before it was dark.

...

After opening the thick, moldy book of Advanced Potion, he felt that he was now capable of trying some of the potions in it.

And it is also necessary to try it. After all, according to the original book, the trio of protagonists should go to the library to borrow this book in a few days, so they have to return the book themselves in the past two days.

He turned to the page describing "Compound Decoction":

The illustration above shows several people who are transforming into other people, with expressions of extreme pain on their faces,

Lacewings, leeches, droolweed, and amphibians... these materials are readily available, and are available in students' lockers.

There are also powdered bicorn horns, and snake skin fragments from an African tree snake... These two materials are beyond his reach.

However, the solution has already been figured out. Find the owl at the school and write a letter to the potion material store in Diagon Alley to buy some... I hope the price is not too expensive.

However, dragon liver is only worth seventeen cents. Could it be possible that snake skin is more expensive than dragon liver?

The sap grass must be picked on the day of the full moon, and the lacewings must be boiled for twenty days...

As long as you are lucky, you should be able to return to Southampton with the finished compound decoction before the Christmas holiday...
