Chapter 1372: The Half-Blood Prince
Sure enough, Hermione didn't give up her ideas so easily.
"The book itself doesn't mean anything without magic, it only confirms that it's just a potions textbook itself, the point is the weird instructions, I've seen those standard dense whole books before, who knows what's inside?" she said skeptically, "In addition to the improvement of the potion formula, there may be other things recorded, such as some dangerous and forbidden magic ......"
Well, her reasoning is already close to the truth!
Hermione was always like this, unconsciously telling the truth of the matter in an analysis that there was obviously no evidence.
It has to be said that this is a terrible talent.
Next, as long as you follow this line of thought, you will find a lot of prohibited things.
Snape's Potions textbook was valuable, but as mentioned before, it wasn't 100% safe.
On the contrary, it is a complete contraband.
"Tell me straight, what are you going to do with me?" asked Harry impatiently, not wanting to put up with Hermione's seemingly endless suspicions.
If she were asked to continue the analysis, she might have said that the textbook was left by Voldemort.
"I haven't figured it out yet, maybe I should give it back......"
"Are you crazy?" Harry refused, probably thinking that it was not a good answer, it was not his book after all, so he added, "At least not until I have a new Potions textbook, it's not dangerous......"
"It's hard to say, we need to validate. Hermione said stubbornly.
"How?" Harry asked angrily, "other than the stupid idea of handing it back to the professor. ”
"Well, I think I can let Evan save the book before I'm sure it's safe. ”
"But, my Potions textbook ......"
"You can use Aven's. Hermione said, "Don't look at me like that, Harry, I know you can't bear it, but you can't deny its danger, and I think you'll admit that Evan is a lot more experienced than we have in this area." ”
Evan blinked, Hermione really, just pushed the book into his hand after going around for a long time!
Harry was visibly reluctant, but he didn't know how to refute Hermione's suggestion.
He only saw the benefits of that book now, not the potential dangers, so he was naturally reluctant to just give it to Aven.
However, Evan wasn't going to ask for the book either, it was a personal feud between Snape and Harry.
He didn't want to get involved between the two of them as a third party.
All he needed was a copy of the textbook, and he could go back and work on the improvements to the potion recipe.
"I have an idea, Harry, if you don't mind, I'll make a copy of this book. "You can keep it, and of course, if Hermione and I find it dangerous, we'll give it to the professor." ”
"No problem!" said Harry, pulling the Advanced Potions Making book out of his bag.
This suggestion was much easier for Harry to accept than Hermione's, and he had no intention of keeping it a secret from them.
Truth be told, Harry had wanted to share the textbook with Aven, Hermione, and Ron.
Evan placed Advanced Potions Crafting on the windowsill next to him and pulled out his wand.
"Double!" he tapped his wand at the worn, filthy textbook.
As soon as his words fell, an identical textbook was copied.
"That's great, and in that case, I want a copy too. Ron said, "Is that okay?"
"I don't see any difference between making one copy and two copies, if you think it's safer. Harry said.
"I'm fine, but you have to understand, Ron, that the Copy Charm isn't really a physical conjure, it's just an illusion of mana, and the copy will disappear after about three hours, unless you keep pumping mana into it to maintain it. Evan said, looking at Ron with an expectant expression, "If you really need it, I can make another one." ”
"Forget it then!" Ron shook his head in disappointment when he heard Evan say this, "Don't bother so much, I don't have that much magic, if I want to see it, I might as well borrow it from Harry." ”
"Now, nothing is wrong, is it?" asked Harry to Hermione.
"Until you've made sure all of the annotations above are safe, I think you'd better not use them in Potions class. Hermione said.
"Please, Hermione, what's the use of me needing a Potions textbook?!" Harry said annoyedly, taking back the textbook that had been on the windowsill, "Unless you really find it dangerous, you can't stop me from using it." ”
Probably because of the force he used, the textbook slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground and spread out.
Harry bent down to pick up the book, when he saw something written on the bottom of the back cover, still small, dense handwriting, the same as the instructions that had helped him win the elixir.
It reads: This book belongs to the half-blood prince!
Snape's signature turned out to be here, so it's no wonder that Evan hadn't found it after searching for it several times.
This kind of thing really depends on luck, and there must be something between Harry and Snape......
.........................................................................................................................................................................
In the Potions class later this week, every time the Half-Blood Prince objected to Liberasius Polage's textbook, Harry did as the Half-Blood Prince suggested, and in the fourth Potions lesson, Slughorn was full of praise for Harry's abilities.
He kept telling his class that he had rarely taught such a talented student.
Although there was a copy, Evan hadn't used it in class again because Hermione wouldn't let it.
She unwaveringly followed what she called the "official" guide, hoping to prove the changes wrong, and the potions she brewed were far less satisfying than those of the Prince's instructions, so her temper grew worse.
Even with it, she wouldn't allow Evan to use these unproven methods.
In this matter, Evan decided to follow Hermione's wishes, and he didn't intend to steal the limelight from Harry anyway.
What are the benefits of being appreciated and valued by Slughorn?
At the moment, it doesn't seem like anything at all, unless you count the Slug Club, which has expanded in size again.
Like Hermione, Ron was a little unhappy with Harry now. Although Harry had promised to share the book with him in class, Ron couldn't read the handwriting as well as Harry, and he couldn't always ask Harry to read it aloud to him so as not to arouse suspicion...... 210210[.]
