When he got back from Hagrid, it was time for dinner, and Darren met Harry, Ron, and Hermione at the Gryffindor table, who were in Potions class and talking about what had just happened. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's the book," Harry whispered, "you know, I thought it was Snape in Potions class, so I didn't prepare the textbook at all, and Professor Slughorn told me to use the Advanced Potions Making in his storage cupboard, and on it, someone wrote a lot, well, words, which weren't quite the same as the original. ”

"For example, when I was cutting sleepy beans, it said, 'Squeeze with the side of a silver knife, it's easier to juice than slicing,' and I tried it, and I couldn't believe that there was so much juice in such a shriveled bean!"

"It's just that when it came time to put in the Sleepy Bean Juice, my potion started to go wrong," Hermione said to Harry's chagrin, "It must be that the Sleepy Bean Juice isn't enough." ”

Then, as written next to it, the stirring potion should be stirred counterclockwise seven times and then clockwise, and the result will be. ”

Oh, it turns out that Harry got Snape's textbook, this is a good thing, you must get it and copy it down on a tablet! Even if you don't plan to boil potions in the future, you can at least sell it for money......

At this point, "You probably think I'm cheating, right?" asked Harry Hermione.

"yes, you didn't do it yourself, did you?"

"He just did it according to different instructions than we did," Ron said, "and that might have hurt him, didn't he? he took the risk and got the benefits," he sighed, "Slughorn could have handed me the book, but, alas, no one had written on my textbook, and judging by the fifty-two pages, it looked like someone had spit on it......"

Darren glared at Ron, "Don't talk about this kind of thing during a meal!"

"Oh......"

"Since this book is so powerful," Darren held out his hand to Harry, "show it to me." ”

"You didn't sign up for Potions class," Harry felt for his bag and looked at Darren a little warily, "What do you want this book for?"

"Make a copy of Hermione," Darren said, "Could it be that you're going to use it for yourself?"

"But," Hermione was still skeptical, "I think it's a little, those weird instructions, who knows what's going on? ”

"But at least it works," Ron said, nodding, "and give me a copy of the line, too? ”

Oh, then, Harry had already gotten the elixir, relying on the guidance of the Half-Blood Prince, who had "personally hoped for another murder......

"Well, I'll have to ask Harry," Darren tilted his head at Harry, "the book is still in his bag." ”

"Harry," Ron immediately looked at Harry, "you're going to take the book out, aren't you?"

“……”

Taking the tattered Potions from Harry's hand, Darren examined the book carefully, and as expected, he found the text written in small, dense handwriting at the bottom of the back cover, "This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince."

In the evening, in the Gryffindor common room, the book "Advanced Potions Making" was spread out on the table in front of Darren, and there were two blank notebooks next to it, and two quill pens were quickly copying the words on the textbook.

At the same time, the tablet Word screen in Darren's hand simultaneously displayed the annotations of "Advanced Potions Making" and the corrections made by Snape to facilitate comparison.

Looking at the tablet word, Darren said that he didn't understand it at all, no way, this so-called Potions class textbook only has the recipes and production methods of various potions, to put it bluntly, there is no difference from recipes, and studying Potions class at Hogwarts is just memorizing one recipe after another, so these two different recipes are about the difference between putting peppers or garlic sprouts in the fish-flavored shredded pork......

However, this is not to say that Darren does not understand the significance behind the difference in the formula, because quite simply, Snape's improvements are effective, and they are very effective, and even Harry, a guy with average grades in Potions class, can take the medicine according to the prescription and make something that is passable, and the other students in the class who follow the standard method of the textbook are all wiped out.

So, is it a problem with the textbooks? Darren doesn't think the Ministry of Magic would be stupid enough to put the wrong recipe in the textbook, and use it for so many years in one go, even by the most conservative estimates, Snape is just in time to change the textbook, ......at least twenty years!

So, it can only be said that the recipe in the textbook is effective, but not optimal, and there is a lot of room for improvement, while Snape fills in the gaps, making it more perfect, easy to operate, and formulated with high power.

But why did Snape do that? In Darren's view, there were only three possibilities.

First, Snape got the new recipe through some channel, just as Harry had "picked up" the textbook.

Why? If Snape had a ready-made recipe at hand, why did he copy it to the textbook? Even if he was going to use it as a cheat sheet, he wouldn't be allowed to bring the textbook for the exam, didn't this guy know about it at the time, and did the stupid thing he did? Hehe......

Second, Snape found a new recipe through trial and error, and recorded it, to be honest, this possibility is relatively large and realistic, but it means a lot of experimentation, after all, finding the right solution also means eliminating the wrong solution, and there is no other way than trial and error.

You may be able to find out by accident when you press the sleepy beans with a silver knife, but why can't you "stir counterclockwise seven times and then stir clockwise" instead of "stir counterclockwise six times and then stir clockwise", or "stir counterclockwise five times and then then clockwise"...... I don't know how Snape conducted the experiment at the time, anyway, Darren's Potions class has always only allowed one operation, perhaps, Hogwarts back then had more liberal finances, allowing students to experiment repeatedly to verify the inadequacies of the textbook, and then throw it in a locker and lock it for twenty years?

And the third one, that is, Snape had already mastered the deepest mysteries of Potions at that time, he really understood the principle of the various steps of the operation of the Potions class, the process of various potions reacting with each other, and was able to deduce from the theoretical level, and then obtained the optimal plan of the steps and methods of Potions operation, even more perfect than the standard content of the Ministry of Magic textbooks, at least, higher than the level of the wizard who wrote the textbook!

So, how did Snape learn this when he was only a sixth-year student? Anyway, he'd been a few streets away from all the Hogwarts students in the last twenty years, because no one had written anything like that since him.
