Chapter 399: Saturday Night

PS: It's really hard to understand why "Draught.Of.Living.Death" is translated into "Living Hell Decoction", "Draught" is used as a combination of potions, so how does "Living.Death" come out of the meaning of "Living Hell"? At most, it is "Living Dead", indicating that the sleep effect is strong, and sleeping like a dead person, it is obviously a sleeping pill, and it is the same as the poison used to force confessions, and it feels like "Life and Death Water" is more appropriate.

The next day, Darren handed Hermione and Ron the "Half-Blood Prince" version of "Advanced Potions Making" that he had copied into his notebook, and he also wrote "copied from the Half-Blood Prince's textbook" in the prologue page.

"Why did you write this?" asked a delighted Ron as he opened his notebook and saw the children.

"It's the knowledge of the Half-Blood Prince, and even if you don't plan to tell Professor Slughorn about it, he taught such a gifted student back then, then at least you should know who to thank. ”

"But who is the Half-Blood Prince, and how do we know he's not a dark wizard?"

"At least the Half-Blood Prince's 'Water of Life and Death' recipe is good," Darren smiled at Hermione, "You should probably try the rest of this." ”

"So, why can't I succeed if I follow the textbook?" asked Hermione, frowning, it seeming that yesterday's failure had made her doubt her Potions class.

"Tsk," Darren smacked his lips, "You should have asked Professor Slughorn that question, didn't I? I didn't report for Potions class!oh, okay, okay, don't stare at me," he said quickly when he saw Hermione's expression, "I guess it's because the textbook is too brief." ”

"Too brief?"

"That's right," Darren took out the "Advanced Potion Making" from Hermione's school bag and flipped to the "Water of Life and Death", "Look, let's not talk about how to deal with the Sleepy Bean, cutting and pressing are just different efficiency, but in terms of the potion stirring method, 'stir counterclockwise until the potion becomes as clear as water', so, what about the speed of stirring?"

"Stirring speed?" Hermione was stunned.

"yes, why stir the potion?"

"In order for the ingredients in the medicine to fully react and mix. ”

"Yes, since stirring is indispensable, does the stirring speed have no effect on the potion?"

"What do you mean......"

"The method in the textbook must be able to prepare the 'water of life and death', otherwise it will be written into the textbook, and the professors will not teach it, unless they don't know how to prepare this potion at all, is that possible? However, the content in the textbook is not enough to make you exactly follow the correct requirements, that is, the range that can be floated is too large, and it is difficult for students to find the exact operating procedures directly, for example, you must not be the same as Harry and Professor Slughorn, who may have practiced for many years and naturally know what kind of speed to use to operate, but this is not written in the textbook, you just do it the way you think it is right, but in fact," he shrugged.

"The half-blood prince's record makes up for what is missing in the textbook, and although 'stir counterclockwise seven times and then clockwise' does not indicate the speed of stirring, but judging from the results, this method of operation is just enough to allow the potion to mix and react at the appropriate speed. ”

"Is that so?"

"If you don't believe me," Darren thought for a moment, "you can prepare a few more reagents, and as the textbook says, 'stir counterclockwise until the potion is as clear as water,' but stir at different speeds, say one turn per minute, two turns per minute...... I guess if you have enough of them, you'll be successful, and you'll know the details that are missing when you follow the textbook. ”

"Really?"

"I guess, you can try, if Professor Slughorn agrees, I'm afraid it will require a lot of potions, and it will take up the Potions classroom, otherwise it will be a waste of time. ”

"I'll go ask Professor Slughorn. ”

"Well, until then, you'd better figure out how to explain to him the questions I just mentioned, because it involves how Harry was able to make the 'water of life and death', and what he would think of him if he knew that this guy had only succeeded with an old book. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hermione, don't!"

Darren didn't mention that in the "Half-Blood Prince" version of "Advanced Potions Making", in addition to the content about potions, there are also many spells, such as "Hanging the Golden Bell Upside Down", "Listening to the Curse with Earbuds", and "Shadowless" Spell......

But the Bear Child's curiosity is not to be underestimated, "Maybe it's a woman," Hermione said impatiently as she listened to Harry tell Ron those spells in the common room on Saturday night, "it could be a girl." I don't think the notes are like boys' and more like girls'. ”

"His name is 'The Half-Blood Prince'. Harry said, "How many girls call themselves princes?"

Hermione seemed speechless. She just frowned and pulled away the article she had written, "The Principle of Ghost Manifestation," as Ron was peeking backwards.

Harry looked at his watch, and hurriedly slipped his old Potions Making textbook into his bag.

"It's almost five o'clock, I need to hurry up, I'm going to be late to Dumbledore. ”

"Yo!" Hermione looked up in surprise, "Good luck! We want to hear what he will teach you. ”

"Hope everything goes well. Ron said, and they watched Harry leave the portrait hole.

Harry walked briskly through the empty hallway, and suddenly, he saw Professor Trelawney turn the corner, a dirty deck of playing cards in his hand, reading the points on the cards and talking to himself, Harry quickly dodged behind a statue.

"2 of Spades: Conflict;" she said as she walked past where Harry was hiding, "7 of Spades: Omen, 10 of Spades: Violence, Jack of Spades: A young man with dark hair, probably upset and unwilling to be interrogatedβ€”"

She stopped, standing on the other side of the statue where Harry was hiding.

"Well, that's certainly not right. She said annoyedly, and Harry heard her reshuffle the cards vigorously as she walked back on, leaving only the smell of sherry cooking wine behind her. Harry waited until he was sure she was far away before pulling his legs out of the statue and walking all the way to the place where there was a lone stone monster in the hallway on the eighth floor.
