Chapter 396: Potions Lesson

"Hermione is absolutely right, Ecstasy can become a scent that attracts you, and whatever you like, it tastes like. Once a certain wizard drops his own blood in a potion and gives it to another wizard to drink, that person falls in love with him. However, Ecstasy cannot give birth to true love, because love cannot be imitated, and everything is over after the drug's effect. ”

Professor Slughorn, flicking the pot with his hand, whispered, "But until then, you will be deeply trapped in this false love, and you will be what the person in love is, and the effect is as terrible as the Imperius Curse." I've even heard of a wicked shrine maiden who likes to give people ecstasy potions and then have him kill his relatives in the name of a test. ”

"Professor, did that person do that?" A little wizard couldn't help but ask.

Slughorn didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The students present took a breath of cold air, especially the few female students in the front row who smelled the fragrance of medicine and looked reluctant, and their faces turned pale and retreated again and again.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Slughorn smiled: "Don't be afraid, the Ecstasy potions that appear on the market are all weakened versions after castration, and although they are called Ecstasy, the effect is only one-fifth of the genuine product." If you fall into this kind of ecstasy, although you will still fall in love with each other, you will not love without a bottom line, and you will not be able to force you to do what you strongly dislike. ”

Hearing this, the students breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, what Slughorn said was only a weakened version of the ecstasy, and he didn't say it at all.

Is it possible that as long as you can get the genuine potion, you can do evil things in the name of love like that evil witch?

"Professor Slughorn, let me assume that if a girl had given Dumbledore the Ecstasy, would Dumbledore fall in love with her and take his word for truth?" Wang Xu didn't understand and asked, if the ecstasy potion really had such a great effect, the value of this elixir would probably be unimaginable.

"Of course not, Ecstasy is a potion that targets the mind, and the stronger your heart, the less effective it will be. If there was no upper limit, wouldn't it be possible to have a witch drug a mysterious person? Slughorn replied with a smile, similar to what Wang Xu thought.

Nothing in the world is perfect, and if there were, it wouldn't be in the Harry Potter world.

After all, the world of Harry Potter is only a low-magic world, and the things produced can't be too rebellious.

"Okay, let's get down to business, everyone knows what the first three medicine pots are, let's take a look at the fourth medicine pot, right?" Opening the lid of the fourth cauldron, Slughorn motioned for his classmates to come over and take a look, asking, "Does anyone know?" ”

The students in the room shook their heads, and several of them also looked at Hermione.

It's a pity that Hermione didn't hear the professor's question at all because the smell of Ecstasy was the smell of Ron's body, and she was at war between heaven and man at the moment.

Looking around and seeing that no one could answer, Slughorn coughed lightly and said, "The fourth pot of potion is called sleeping water, it is exactly what we are going to talk about in this lesson, please turn the book to page 10." ”

There was a uniform sound of flipping books in his ears, only Wang Xu did not have a potions book in his hand.

Slughorn noticed this phenomenon and took the initiative to speak: "Professor Wang Xu, there are extra textbooks in the bookcase, you can take them and take a look at them first." ”

Wang Xu nodded lightly and walked to the cabinet next to him to find it.

As far as the eye could see, there were more than a dozen potions books in the cabinet, ranging from grades 1 to 7.

Wang Xu picked out a sixth-grade textbook, flipped through it in his hand, and saw a line of small characters written in ink on the first page of the textbook.

"This book is the property of the half-blood prince!"

"Snape's textbook!" Wang Xu took out the textbook, which was not so much a student's book as a teacher's preparation book.

Flipping through a few pages, reading between the lines, many of the enemy had Snape's annotations.

For example, on page eight, this page teaches people how to make sleeping water, and Snape has given a lot of corrections, some of which are written in books, but not clever methods, all of which have been changed by Snape in a more efficient way.

Holding the textbook, Wang Xu had thought in his eyes, and quickly understood what was going on.

In the movie, the book reaches Harry because after lunch, Harry goes to the hallway to play and meets Professor McGonagall.

At Professor McGonagall's suggestion, he went to Potions class, and because he didn't have a textbook, he got the wizarding book that belonged to Snape.

And this time, Professor McGonagall was accompanying Dumbledore to study scientific and technological weapons, but she didn't have time to care whether Harry went to the elective class or not, and the result was that Harry, who would come to class in the plot, did not come, and the textbook that should have fallen into his hands fell into Wang Xu's hands.

"Turn to page 10 of the textbook, here are the detailed steps of refining sleeping water, everyone just follow it, I will supervise you and correct your mistakes. Now, there is still an hour and a half before the end of class, and within this hour and a half, the first person to refine the sleeping water will be rewarded by me. Professor Slughorn grabbed the book and pulled a small bottle from the shelf.

The bottle has an inverted triangle shape, the bottle is transparent, and the potion inside is also transparent, looking like a colorless crystal.

Like many students, Wang Xu also raised his head slightly and glanced at the bottle.

If he's not mistaken, it contained the elixir that made Professor Slughorn famous in the wizarding world.

"This is a very miraculous elixir, the elixir of blessing, which is commonly known as lucky water. Luck can't be seen or touched, but it's real, and the effect of the elixir is to make you more lucky. Now I have three dice in my hand, and ordinary people can throw them and get any number from 3 to 18. Under normal circumstances, no one can rely on luck to cast 18 points 100%, but drinking the elixir of blessing can. ”

Professor Slughorn opened the potion, poured a little bit into his mouth, and threw the dice out of his hand.

The three dice arc through the air, collide on the table of the podium, and roll down several times before stopping.

On the eye, the three dice are all face up, and each of them is a bright red 6, which together is exactly 18 points.

"That's luck!"

Professor Slughorn picked up the dice, shook his hand and threw them out again, and it was still 18 o'clock.

He repeated this process five times, whether it was high or low, and the dice landed with 6 points up.

Seeing everyone's surprise, Professor Slughorn put away the dice and said with a smile: "I drank a little bit of this bottle of Blessing Elixir, but don't worry, I still have a lot of stock here, and the first person to refine the sleeping water will get a new bottle of Blessing Elixir, this is our agreement." Slughorn spread his hands and said, "What are you waiting for, hurry up and act!" ”

The young wizards took action, selected the ingredients from the counter, and began to refine the sleeping water.

Narcissus root powder, wormwood liquid, jumping beans, spider venom, moonshine pollen...

There are many materials for refining sleeping water, although the steps are written in the book, but the time of adding medicinal materials and the size of the fire will also affect the production of life and death water.

Wang Xu didn't make it, not because he didn't want to try it, but the most basic five-centimeter beaker, and he couldn't tell the difference between it and the seven-centimeter beaker.

Potions is a delicate discipline, and the slightest mistake can cause a chain reaction.

Looking at the student on the table opposite, a fire erupted from the medicine pot and his hair was burned, Wang Xu felt that he should not be ashamed.
