157. Enhancers
Enhancer is a relatively high-level potion, which has a wide range of uses, and can increase the user's strength and micro-magic power in a short period of time, and is generally carried by wizards and Aurors who are in the wilderness, and this potion needs to be learned in school when they reach the fifth grade. The second-year McGoth is ready to use this as a practice, the process and the type of materials used to make it are much different from the mana growth potion, but one thing is the same, one of its main potions is also the blood of the salamander, and improper handling will also lead to instability and fail to make potions.
McGoth didn't make a claim, he first talked to Snape about his thoughts, hoping for some guidance, but he just threw him another notebook, without saying a word, but it was understood that he agreed.
After carefully reading the steps in the book and imagining how to change it, he didn't look at Snape's notes again, but went straight to the refinement. Snape, who didn't seem to care, had been keeping an eye on him, and didn't say anything about his actions, as if he didn't care at all about what he did.
First grind the long moonstone into powder and put it in a place where you can get it, and then quickly put some common herbs in it after the temperature of the crucible reaches a certain level, and then wait for 15 minutes, this time must be accurate, you can't say that one second is not bad, but it is best to not exceed 10 seconds apart, otherwise it will either fail or the efficacy is very low. Fortunately, there is a special timekeeping magic prop for making potions, which looks like an ordinary hourglass, but the sand inside is not simple, it is an imitation of the legendary sand of time, of course, this is just a very lame imitation, it does not have much effect, the most common is to record the production time of the potion, because it is made of the bones of magical animals, it can sense magic, and wizards only need a thought to make it start timekeeping.
And it is said that the hourglass made with the real sand of time is called the hourglass of time, and the use of it can even change the passage of time and return to the past or the future, of course, this is just a legend, and it is impossible to find a grain of sand of time now, because it will only appear in places where time is unstable, just as a person, even if it is a wizard, even if you go to a place where time is unstable, it is unlikely that you can feel abnormal, and if you can't feel it, don't think about it, in short, this is a mysterious magic item that only exists in legends.
The most important thing in potion making is care and patience, he thinks he is not lacking in carefulness, and patience, since he made the negative elixir, this is not a problem.
Soon 15 minutes passed, he quickly glanced at the situation of the crucible, and then quickly put the dragon's blood on the side, the powerful magic of the dragon's blood caused the potion to begin to mess up, McGoth looked at the changes in the crucible without blinking, when the crucible began to shake, he added the moonstone powder within reach little by little, he didn't dare to put more, he could only let it in like rubbing his hands, and the potion slowly returned to its original appearance.
It was only here that his tense mood eased a little, this is the first hurdle to make an enhancer, and it will be easier after it passes, and the follow-up materials just need to be put in one by one.
Snape nodded in satisfaction when he saw his first round of steps, but then he saw that Magos was a little relaxed, and his brows furrowed when he put the materials in his hand, whether he succeeded in the end or not, there were signs of relaxation before the potion was finished. Making potions was a serious science, and he never thought that a wizard could make potions without noticing, even if it was a potions master. But he didn't mention anything, one is that the most taboo thing in the process of making potions is to be interrupted, and second, since he didn't speak at first, he is not ready to speak now, and finally he doesn't think that McGoth, who made this potion for the first time, can succeed the first time, although the production of this potion is not too complicated, but some details are still very important, such as McGoth now puts a piece of fire pumice stone with a diameter of 5 cm directly into it, and it can be concluded that there will be instability when adding the blood of the salamander at the end, At that time, if you don't add additional sandalwood fruit in time, it will cause the potion to fail. And this addition is impossible to have in the book, only those wizards who often make potions will understand, of course it is written in his notes, but McGoth has not read it, so it is impossible to know.
The booster has now reached the most critical moment, which is to add the blood of the salamander. Some people may wonder why the fire dragon blood should be added to the front, is the blood of the salamander more powerful than the fire dragon blood, no, it is because the fire dragon blood is strong so it must be added at the beginning to neutralize, otherwise if the fire dragon blood is added at the end, the result can only be described in one word, that is... Boom!
But now the results of McGoth were similar, after he finished reciting the spell, the potion began to boil violently, it was not a success, he used several methods in the book to no avail, so he had to leave the table quickly. Just as he stepped out of the step, the explosion suddenly broke out.
"Bang!"
Fortunately, it was not very powerful, and Snape's table also had simple protective measures, and there were no injuries, except that his hair turned into a broom head, and his face was the same as that of black Africans.
He looked back at Snape a little bewildered, not as difficult as he had imagined, and certainly not as good as his attitude was.
"That's all for today, a word of caution, potions are a serious course!"
The sentence was equivalent to an eviction order, and Magos was self-conscious, and left his office with his notes on his broom head and African face.
"It's just a little bit!" Snape got up and walked over to the crucible of McGoth's failure, touching the charred residue.
"It's a bit scary." After talking to himself, he took out his wand.
"Clean up!" The pitch-black and messy table quickly became clean.
I don't know how disappointed Snape is talking to himself, of course, there is nothing to be happy about, although he has been prepared for the impossibility of succeeding at one time, but the real failure still makes him a little depressed, he still can't figure out why he failed, he has been strictly following the steps in the book, and Snape's last sentence, what does it mean? He didn't desert again.
If you can't figure it out, you don't want to think about it, now this honor is not good if you scare the wizard who sneaks out, use the cleansing charm to clean the face, and there is no way to change the hairstyle, and the recovery charm can't change the hairstyle.
McGoss, the broomstick, became the focus the next day, as long as a wizard sees his lightning rod-like hair, he can't help laughing, Hermione just saw it in the morning, and she couldn't laugh, she suggested shaving it and growing it again, or using a hair growth charm, McGoth directly refused, is there a difference between a broom head and a bald head? At least not in his eyes. The hair growth spell is also an uncontrollable spell, what if it grows crazy, like a bride, let a group of children support it in the back? It's better to do this first, and it will be fine in a few days anyway. And most crucially, he wasn't sure that the next potion would succeed.
A few days ago, while McGoth was still waiting for Arthur's Magic Walkman, Wood sent Harry the word that they would be playing a friendly match against Ravenclaw on Wednesday afternoon.
"Ravenclaw? I thought it would be Hufflepuff's. "McGoth wasn't surprised, but the opponent was a little surprised that Ravenclaw was so good at talking or easily provoked?
"Wood was going to Hufflepuff at first, but they didn't agree, but they said they would compete with victory."
"Huo, they won't be low-key at this time." The Quidditch teams of the four houses are all similar in character, no matter how low-key they usually are, when it comes to the game, you will know what low-key luxury is.
Ron is also a little dissatisfied, Hufflepuff is too crazy this time, only compared to the winner, and the winner doesn't necessarily pay attention to you. However, he was still happy to see the confrontation before the game.
Time flew by, and it was Wednesday afternoon. Hermione was also supportive of the friendly game, and like McGoss, she knew that this was the only way to go further.
Gryffindor came to watch the sights of a few of them and Lee. Jordan and the other teammates' friends are exactly ten people, and there are a few more on the Ravenclaw side, there are 15 people, McGoth only knows Zhang Qiu, and the others are all unfamiliar faces, all of them are seniors. Zhang Qiu seemed to be interested in Harry now, and smiled at him, causing Harry to blush.
It's not a regular game, the two teams stop directly in the air, Lee. Jordan served as the referee and released four balls, it is worth saying that the Golden Snitch is not counted in this friendly match, even if Harry catches it, he can only score 10 points for their team, and the upper limit is 50 points, and you can still catch it after reaching the upper limit, but there are no points, but the opponent can not get the points of the Golden Snitch. At the same time, the game time is set for one hour, and after an hour, which side has the highest score and which side wins. This is the rule that Wood specially negotiated with McGoss, there is no way, I want not to rely on the ballcatcher, but I can't let the catcher not participate in training, and it ended up like this. Ravenclaw was a little uncomfortable knowing that the rules had changed, but they weren't stupid, they knew how powerful Harry was a ballcatcher, so it could be said that it was possible to crucify Gryffindor and get the Golden Snitch to win, so they happily agreed.
Plum. Jordan said the two new rules out loud, and the pure-blood wizards watching were a little confused, is this still a Quidditch game? However, looking at the team on his side and the team on the opposite side, there is nothing to say.
With Lee. Jordan's whistle, the friendly match officially began, Harry is not a genius catcher, caught the Golden Snitch in less than 10 minutes of the start, and won ten points for Gryffindor, fortunately the rules are different this time, otherwise Gryffindor has already won, and the face of the Ravenclaw team is a little ugly.
