Chapter Forty: The Half-Blood Prince's Notes

…

"Also, Potter, Gryffindor will take a point off for contradicting the teacher just now."

Snape made another final mention, and began to group the young wizards into groups.

Harry, though angry, was helpless.

Seeing this, Jerry had no choice but to pat him on the shoulder across Hermione to show comfort.

There is no way, who made your father always bully others when he was in school, now that your father is gone, he can only vent his anger on you.

Maybe this is called the son inheriting the father's business, oh, no, it should be the father's debt and the son's repayment!

When grouping, because the number of Gryffindors was relatively large, and the number of Slytherins was relatively small, and they were all odd numbers, so Jerry and Hermione were divided into a group and cooperated to complete a potion for treating boils.

In the magic book "Magic Potion and Potion," in addition to explaining in detail the steps, details and precautions of basic potion refining, it also provides a total of seven kinds of potion refining methods.

They are: general antidote, potion for treating boils, amnesia potion, herbicide potion, sleeping potion (water of life and death), swelling potion, sober potion.

After the distribution was over, Snape first explained the whole potion refining process, and then demonstrated how to make a bottle by himself.

The preparation of potions is actually very similar to those chemical experiments in Jerry's previous life when he was in school. They were prepared precisely according to the formula using various instruments such as small medicine bottles and scales.

Care and rigor are the most important things in the refining of potions.

However, unlike ordinary chemical experiments, the desired results can be obtained by completing the modulation according to the steps. For the refining of potions, if you just follow the steps, you will end up with a puddle of useless mixture.

It also needs to cooperate with the magic power in the body, and finally use the magic wand to finish the potion, in order to get the correct and effective magic potion.

Therefore, if you are just a Muggle without magic power, even if you get the materials and production methods for refining potions, you will not be able to really refine the corresponding potions.

"You bastard, don't you have eyes, what do you call dried nettles?"

"Idiot, it's the fangs of a crushing snake, do you know what crushing means?"

When the little wizards began to prepare the potion according to the steps, Snape also dragged his long black cloak and walked back and forth in the classroom to check.

However, his scolding almost never stopped. All the little wizards he passed by were sprayed with blood by him.

Even the little wizards of Slytherin are no exception, and they will still be scolded if they make mistakes.

Only when he got to the group of Jerry and Hermione, did he nod his head in satisfaction and praise him.

At this time, Jerry had already turned on the refreshment mode, and his brain and body were in peak condition. Together with Hermione, who was very talented in potions, there was no problem in making the simplest potion.

"Done!"

Not long after Snape left from behind, pink smoke rose from the cauldron in front of Jerry and Hermione, which also indicated that the boil potion had been successfully prepared.

"oops!"

At this moment, Neville and Seamus in the next group suddenly let out a scream. Their cauldrons leaked for some unknown reason, the potion spilled, and thick green acidic smoke suddenly rose.

"Chain legs!"

Jerry, who was in a state of refreshment, had five senses and reactions so fast. The moment he saw an accident on the side of Neville and Seamus, he immediately lifted their buttocks towards them and kicked them in a row.

Kicked Neville and Seamus away with soft strength, so that they would not be sprayed by the green smoke, then immediately turned around and hugged Hermione, and jumped onto the stool next to him to prevent them from being extremely corrosive. potion erosion.

Even so, Harry and Ron, on Neville's other side, were splashed with potion on their shoes, burning several holes in them.

It can be seen that the preparation of this potion is not so safe. One mistake in the experiment may cost one's life.

And this is the simplest potion preparation.

Thinking about it, there are so few masters of potion science in the wizarding world, which may have a lot to do with the danger of preparing potions.

If there is no talent in potion preparation, not only will the preparation fail, a lot of precious raw materials will be wasted, and your own life may be in danger.

"idiot!"

Snape walked over with a growl, and swung his wand to wipe away the potion and green smoke that were splashed on the ground:

"I suppose you put the porcupine quills in the cauldron without removing it from the fire, did you?"

Neville and Seamus got up from the ground and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

"Because of your idiot behavior, Gryffindor was deducted one point, hurry back and re-modulate!"

After Snape finished cursing, he looked back at Jerry and nodded in satisfaction:

"You reacted very quickly. If it wasn't for you just now, the two of them would have gone to the infirmary, Slytherin plus three points!"

After speaking, he happened to see the potion prepared by Jerry and Hermione on the table, his eyes lit up:

"You actually prepared it so quickly, um, yes, quite perfect, a very good potion, it seems that you are very talented in potions, Slater will add three points!"

"Ahem, this, professor, the potion was made by me and Hermione!"

Seeing that Snape ignored Hermione directly, Jerry had no choice but to remind him.

Snape glanced at Hermione:

"Well, Gryffindor also adds three points!"

After speaking, he began to patrol the classroom again.

But when he walked in front of Harry and Ron, he suddenly paused again, and turned to look at Harry who was cooking tentacled slugs:

"Potter, why didn't you tell Neville not to put in the porcupine quills? You thought it would be okay for him to show you when he made a mistake? Another point for Gryffindor because of you."

Harry petrified on the spot.

Potions class was over, and when all the young wizards left the classroom to go to the auditorium for dinner, Jerry temporarily escaped the crowd with the excuse of going back to the dormitory.

Carefully observing the corridor in the basement, making sure that Snape had returned to his office, Jerry came to the door of the Potions classroom again.

"Alohomora!"

Casting an unlocking spell on the classroom door, Jerry pushed the door open and walked in.

After carefully turning around in the classroom, he immediately set his sights on the locker next to the podium.

That locker was where Snape kept some of the potion ingredients he used in class.

Opening the locker and rummaging through it, Jerry finally found what he wanted in the bottom layer of the locker, a second-hand sixth grade potions textbook - "Advanced Potion Making."

Turning to the first page of the book, a line of handwritten signatures appeared in his eyes.

"The Book Belongs to the Half-Blood Prince"
