CHAPTER XXXI
[Godric unceremoniously affirmed Severus's talent and then denied it: "Just by making a potion according to the prescription laid in front of you, I can train a monkey to do it, and even after practice makes perfect, better than a man!] You can learn how to make potions from that little guy named Bruce, but even if you learn them all, you're just a pharmacist! A pharmacist like a monkey! People who can't learn to create zào can only be monkeys for the rest of their lives. Until I learn what a monkey can learn but your brain doesn't become like a monkey, you'd better satisfy me! ”】
Godric, when confronted with one of his best areas, exposes a harshness that does not match his image. This makes Gail wonder if all people who are good at potions have a poisonous tongue and are extraordinarily mean when it comes to potions.
Because of these two teachers, Seaver has been a little busy lately, either practicing next to the crucible every day, or burying his head in countless tomes to supplement his knowledge of potions. Fortunately, there is a very clean Gail by his side, who will urge Severus to take a thorough bath before going to bed every day, otherwise Severus may really become a greasy person!
Lily knew that Seaver was frantically making up for her potions knowledge and brewing techniques, but she didn't know the specifics. But seeing Severus work so hard, Lily was also inspired to learn and became one of the few top students in Gryffindorry.
Compared to Seaver and Lily, Gail is much more relaxed. After obtaining the technique from jade, the ancient magic script, which was originally the most difficult to learn, became very simple.
It is said that ancient magic is difficult to learn, because every magic text in this course has strict stroke requirements, even if one angle is not done well, the magic text is not valid! The magic script is similar to the mantra, as long as it is written with a special pen, it will have magical powers, provided that each magic character is perfectly portrayed like a printer.
This kind of irregular "letters" will not be difficult after Gail has obtained the exercises, they are the rules of this world. Since it is a regular pattern, it naturally has the ability to be regular. To put it bluntly, it is also a kind of "Tao". Gale never thought that in the West, on the other side of the world, there would have been a glimpse of the real rules of the world.
Because of the plug-in of the translation of the exercises, Gale omitted this step of understanding the ancient magic texts and started the practice directly from the engraving. Although the progress is still slow, compared to those senior students who are about to graduate but still can't fully recognize the basic ancient magic scripts, they are much stronger. After repeated practice, Gail felt that he had recently been able to write three magic scripts in ten times.
Compared with Seaver and Lily's behavior of still fighting hard in the book mountain, Gail's flexible time arrangement except for the fixed homework of practicing magic for an hour every day is undoubtedly leisurely.
"Gail, hey, hey, Gail! Lily! Severus! James came out of nowhere, smirking at the three of them, and Remus couldn't bear to look at them. He felt that he should be like Siris, and find an excuse to avoid it. Or wait for James to calm down a bit before coming with him, instead of like he is now.
Sirius undoubtedly made the right decision - not to go crazy with James, or not to go crazy with James in a state of euphoria. Look at the few words of greeting just now, it is like something that only a person with an IQ below 80 would do!
After returning to school this New Year, because of James' unilateral stalking, Gale simply couldn't continue to face the "Path-Taker" trio, and their relationship eased a lot. But that doesn't mean they're close, right? He stated this many times, but it seemed that he had done useless work, so he could only let it go.
"Good afternoon, Lupin, Potter!" Gail snorted his teeth, always feeling that every time he saw Potter, he would have an extra toothache.
"We're here to show you a hand!" As he spoke, James let Remus behind him drag out a wooden board full of holes and float in the air.
Then James took out a handful of dry, yellowish grass from his pocket, which seemed to crumble, and said to Gail, "You said that magic spells can hurt anything if they are used in the right place, so I learned this myself." ”
He let the grass float beside him, cast a hard object charm that turned the hay that had broken at the touch of it like iron thorns, and shot at the plank that had been tortured countless times.
After James hit the plank, Remus began to let the plank move back and forth irregularly, changing positions up and down, left and right, back and forth, but James still directed the hay to continue to hit the plank, making the potholes on the plank more and denser.
Gail nodded as he looked, should he say that the people of the Potter family were born with this talent? He had only said the Levitation Charm at the time, but now, Potter had invented the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, and the material was still the withered grass that could be found everywhere. Wooden planks can be nailed to a thousand holes, let alone people!
Gale applauded the face-saving "snap" to express his appreciation, and James smiled excitedly and asked Gale: "Are we allies?" ”
"Huh?" Gale has long since lost track of what he had said when he rejected James. But James remembers! His understanding of Gail's "practice the levitation charm before talking" is "practice the levitation charm = they are allies". What a straightforward and simple brain circuit!
But for people like Gail, there is no way to take this kind of talent, so Gale doesn't know what to say now. Fortunately, Severus couldn't see it and relieved Gail: "So, I'm assuming that Mr. Potter knows the purpose of our alliance?" ”
James nodded as a matter of course: "For the peace of the wizarding world, for the defeat of the Great Demon King!" ”
"Who do you think is the Great Demon King?" Seaver continued to ask.
"Lord Voldemort, Duke of Darkness, of course! My dad said he was behaving like the big devil in Germany! James rightly said that Severus was also defeated.
It's not the first time Gale has heard this kind of "my dad" from James's mouth. He originally thought that in the entire Harry Potter world, only Drach Malfoy would have a "my father", but he didn't expect that thirteen-year-old Potter would be the same!
Thinking of this, Gail couldn't help but smile. Gail's smile made Severus's face darken a little, but it made James hold his chest higher and say proudly, "We're allies!" Now, as an Alliance, you are no longer allowed to call me by my last name, but you must call me James! And Remus and Siris! He still doesn't mind that Gail and Seaver keep calling him by their last names.
"Okay, okay!" This time, even Seaver couldn't help but put away Yan Sù's expression, and his attitude softened a lot, not to mention Gail, who didn't hold it up from the beginning, and hurriedly agreed to James.
So James took Remus to sit under the big tree on the edge of the Black Lake with Gail, Seaver, and Lily this afternoon, and it was officially occupied.
"Dude, do you know the Animagus?" James directly changed his titles for Gail and Seaver to the same as for Remus and Siris. He mysteriously lowered his voice and said to Gail.
Gail nodded, he not only knew what Animagus was, but also what James in front of him and the Animagus of Siris, who was no longer at the moment, were! This feeling of knowing a qiē is really not too sour!
I came to see it because I wasn't at ease, and it turned out that Ciris, who was sitting happily and chatting under the tree, felt congested and walked out from behind the tree: "James! You guy! ”
"You didn't come by yourself!" James jumped up all at once, "There's no place for you!" Without! You've got to go up to the branches! There's no place for you here! He said, pointing to Gail's picnic mat that he had laid on the ground.
Siris walked up to James, and before James could react, he sat down where James was sitting just now: "Now it's time for you to sit on the branch!" ”
Gail really didn't understand why the pair of Gryffindor living treasures could talk nonsense for a long time over a trivial matter. Remus, who was on the side, probably guessed Gale's thoughts, and explained in a low voice, "This is how they communicate their emotions." They're the best friends, I guess. ”
"Bad friends? Very apt. Seaver thought for a moment, and it was true. He had always thought that friendship was either like him and Lily, or like him and Gail, and never thought there would be such a way to get along. Severus glanced at Gail, thought it through, and decided that this approach didn't fit his relationship with Gail. Obviously, both Gale and he are happy with the way they get along. In this case, there is no need to refer to or change it.
"What are you doing?" Remus couldn't help but talk curiously when he saw Severus writing and drawing in a small book while reading a large book.
Severus hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "I'm trying to improve the wolf venom, the potion. ”
Severus's own contact talent in potions is undoubted, although he can only get a P or TM score in each class, and the final exam is only a decent A, but as long as a person with long eyes can see that his potion is definitely qualified, and can even reach an O grade. But that doesn't mean he's able to improve a new potion developed by a Potions Master!
But this is wolf venom, elixir! Wolf venom, potions! Remus felt his heart pounding, and his eardrum was so congested that he could barely hear anything else. It took a long time for him to tremble and say, "You...... Can you? How to change? ”
When Severus heard such a question, he immediately entered the last days of Xueba: "Wolf venom, there is an herb in the potion that is very precious, which makes this potion very expensive. And he has some characteristics that are not good, and I hope to be able to improve it. Now I have some ideas, but I still need to verify them. ”
"Verify? How to verify? Do you want werewolves to be real? Remus's voice trembled with excitement. The magical life of Gail Green
