"Alright," Slughorn returned to the front of the classroom, his already bulging chest pushed forward again, and the buttons on his vest looked like they were about to burst off.

"This is our first lesson, and I've prepared a few potions to open your eyes - you certainly can't make them right now. But if you're really talented, you might be able to do one or two of these things after you've completed the entire course. ”

Slughorn blinked slyly, "So who can sue me, what kind of potion is this?"

He pointed to the crucible closest to the Slytherin table, which looked like a pot of water was tumbling.

Hermione's well-trained hand was raised first. Slughorn pointed at her.

"It's the truth elixir, a colorless, tasteless elixir that forces the person who drinks it to tell the truth. Hermione said.

"Good, good!" said Slughorn happily.

"Now," he continued, pointing to the crucible closest to the Ravenclaw table, "it's more commonβ€”"

Once again, Hermione's hand was raised.

"It's a polyjuice decoction, sir. She said.

"Great, great! And this ...... here. You say, dear?" said Slughorn, looking a little surprised to see Hermione's hand raise again.

"It's an aphrodisiac!"

"Not bad at all. It doesn't seem to be necessary to ask at all. Slughorn showed sincere admiration at this time, and said, "This potion is still very rare, since you can recognize it." So I guess you know what it's for?"

"It's the most potent love potion in the world!" Hermione said.

"Quite right, my dear, can you tell me your name?" asked Slughorn. He looked very happy.

"Hermione Granger, sir. ”

"Hermione Granger, are you related to Hertock Dagworth Granger, the founder of the Extraordinary Apothecary Society?" Slughorn looked curious.

"No, probably not, sir. I'm Muggle-born. Hermione said briskly.

At the Slytherin table, Malfoy whispered something, and the Slytherins all laughed secretly. Silver gave them a warning look.

Slughorn didn't show any disappointment. Instead, he was smiling. Look at Hermione, then at Silver sitting next to her.

"Jack, you didn't tell me last time that you knew such a beautiful and intelligent young lady. ”

"That's why I can't show it off. Silver said.

Hermione's face flushed.

"That's right, Jack. Good, good, add a well-deserved twenty points to Miss Gryffindor's Granger. Slughorn said kindly.

Malfoy's face was ugly. It's like someone gave him a punch.

"Now," Slughorn said, "knowing these three potions, we should start our lessons. ”

"Sir, you haven't told us what is in here. Ernie McMillan pointed to a small black cauldron on Slughorn's podium. The potion in the small cauldron splashed happily, its color like molten gold. Large drops of liquid jumped on the surface, like goldfish, but not a single drop spilled out.

"Ho!" Slughorn said again, "yes, I haven't said that yet." Ladies and gentlemen. It was a most peculiar little potion called the Elixir. I think. He smiled and turned to look at Hermione, who let out a startled cry, "You know what the elixir does, Miss Granger?"

"It's a lucky potion," Hermione said excitedly, "and will bring you good luck!"

The class seemed to straighten their backs suddenly.

"That's right, add ten more points to Gryffindor. Yes, it's a strange little elixir," said Slughorn, "and it's very complicated to make, and if you get it wrong, the consequences are terrible." However, if you boil it properly, just like the one in this cauldron, you will realize that you will succeed in whatever you do...... At least until the effects wear off. ”

"Then why don't people drink it all day, sir?" asked Ron eagerly.

"Because it's not a potion like the Sleepy Potion, Weasley. Silver began, but Slughorn wasn't at all angry at Silver for interfering.

"Jack, do you have anything to tell us about the Elixir?" asked Slughorn with a smile.

"It's very difficult to make this potion. Silver's voice was very steady, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, "First of all, the raw materials of this potion are very rare and expensive, and ordinary wizards can't get such precious raw materials. Secondly, as Professor Slughorn said, the boiling process is very complicated, and if it is not boiled properly, there are very terrible consequences - the boiler may be unlucky for a week, or even longer. There was once an unlucky guy who had been unlucky for decades because he screwed up this potion. Because of the difficulty and danger of brewing potions, the Extraordinary Apothecary Association has listed the preparation of elixirs as an important part of the Potions Master Examination. ”

"That's a good point, Jack. Slughorn applauded, "I'm going to add thirty points to you." ”

"Have you taken a magic potion then, sir?" asked Michael Cuner with interest.

"I've only taken it twice in my life, and as Jack said, it's very troublesome to make a potion of blessings, and I rarely make it. "Once at twenty-four, once at fifty-seven." I took two scoops with breakfast. Those two days were perfect. ”

He stared into the distance in a trance. The way he looked aroused the feelings of the whole class.

"Well," Slughorn said as if returning to reality, "I'm going to be a prize for this lesson." ”

There was silence in the classroom, and every bubbling and boiling sound of the surrounding potions seemed to be amplified tenfold. The classmates all stared at the little cauldron, thinking about how long they could drink these elixirs.

Professor Slughorn comically made a gesture to protect the small black cauldron. "Oh, kids. That's not good, these are all my inventory, I can't give them all to you. ”

"Here's the prize, a little bottle of elixir," Slughorn pulled out a small corked glass bottle from his pocket and held it up to the class, "for twelve hours of good luck." From dawn to dark, no matter what you do, everything will be good, and the auspicious stars will shine brightly. ”

The students lamented and looked very disappointed.

"Jack, tell them how much this little vial of Elixir is worth. ”

"Elixir is forbidden to be bought and sold, and even on the underground black market, there is very little trade. "But I think many people are willing to pay a thousand Galleons for it. ”
