Chapter 61: Potions for scabies

Potions class continued, and Snape was instructing everyone on a potion that would cure scabies. After explaining how to prepare the potion for scabies, he divided the class into groups of two and asked everyone to start making a potion for scabies.

Albert was naturally in a group with Lee Jordan, who made them the same table.

"We go through the steps a few times before we start making a potion for scabies to avoid making mistakes. Albert reminded, "As long as the steps are not wrong, the finished product will not deviate too much from the book." ”

The most feared thing about boiling medicine is to add medicinal materials and stir indiscriminately.

Albert flipped through "Magic Potions and Potions", remembered the configuration of the potion for scabies, and didn't care at all about Snape, who dragged the black cloak behind him.

Only after Snape walked away did Albert remove the herbs he needed from his medicine chest: a few viper fangs, a pongo onion, some dried nettles bundled, a jar of horned slugs, and a few porcupine spines.

"You're in charge of boiling horned slugs, and this thing has to be boiled for at least 33 to 45 minutes. Albert handed his tweezers to Lee Jordan.

"Okay, leave it to me. Lee Jordan had no opinion, he took the tweezers that Albert handed over, and pulled out the disgusting horned slugs from the jar.

Then again, this thing drugstore sells for 1 Galleon for a can.

"Remember to wash it first, you don't need to put a lot of water in the crucible, be careful to boil it and overflow. Albert added.

He then began to use a mortar to grind the viper's fangs, which were called for in the book to be ground into a fine powder, which was a laborious task.

Compared to Albert's hands-on ability, the other students are a bit scummy.

Of course, this may have something to do with Albert's raising his potion manufacturing to level 1.

Snape was still wandering the classroom, watching the students call dried nettles and grind snake fangs, and almost all of the students were criticized, except Albert and George.

After all, Snape couldn't find anything to criticize, except that they were a little slower than the others.

"Next, call dried nettles. Albert looked at Snape's back and whispered, "Watch out for the weight, don't call it wrong." ”

“ok。 "Lee Jordan was in a good mood and Snape didn't come to their trouble.

Albert struggled to slice the onions into thin slices.

Half an hour later, Li Jordan reminded loudly: "The horned slug is boiled." ”

Albert immediately leaned over and stabbed the horned slug with a glass tube, and when he was sure that it was completely cooked, he poured out the water from the crucible, leaving the horned slug boiled to rot.

Once the ingredients were ready, all that left was the potion to make a potion for scabies

First, add the viper tooth powder to the crucible, stir slowly to mix it with the water thoroughly, and the potion inside the crucible will gradually turn dark blue.

"Is it dark blue?" said Jordan, leaning his head to see the color of the potion in the cauldron.

"It's dark blue. Albert Lisso sliced the pango onion and put it in the crucible, and continued to heat it for about ten seconds, gradually turning from dark blue to red as recorded in the book.

Once the color has changed, the next step is to slowly sprinkle in the dried nettles and stir the potion to turn pink.

"Continue to add a small spoonful of Flober caterpillar slime, then continue and stir, the potion inside turns green. Albert muttered the steps as he operated. Next is to add a large spoonful of stewed horned slugs and stir until the potion turns blue-green. ”

After completing the previous step, Albert lifted the crucible from the fire.

If you don't remove it from the fire, adding porcupine thorns directly will cause the potion to fail, and Snape has made a point to warn everyone.

Albert took the two porcupine spines handed over by Li Jordan, slowly put them into the crucible, and then began to stir them clockwise three times, causing the original blue-green potion to gradually turn blue.

Finally, wave your wand above the cauldron to complete the potion

"Did it work?" asked Jordan nervously.

"What do you say? Albert took a spoonful, put it in the crystal bottle, and handed it to Li Jordan next to him, so that he could see the color of the potion clearly.

"It worked. Li Jordan looked excitedly at the potion for scabies in the potion bottle, and the color of the potion was basically the same as the description in "Magic Potions and Potions".

"yes, it was successful, it was not easy. Albert extinguished the fire. Still, he was a little skeptical about the effectiveness of the potion for scabies.

While bottling the potion and writing his name, Albert suddenly smelled a disgusting smell and turned his head to see that Fred and George's cauldron was bubbling with bubbles, and the potion in the cauldron had a disgusting brown color.

"Wait, before adding porcupine thorns, remove the cauldron from the fire. Albert stopped George's decision to burn through the cauldron.

However, this still did not save their scabies treatment.

"Weasley, tell me, what are you guys here?" Snape walked behind the twins with a blank expression.

"Potions for scabies. George muttered quietly.

Snape asked nonchalantly, "What is the color of the potion for scabies in the book when it is finished?" ”

"Blue. ”

"I dare to say, after drinking this pot of your potion and not curing the scabies, I poisoned myself first. Snape swung his wand and swept the potion out of the cauldron.

"Anderson, where's your potion?"

"Here it is, sir. Li Jordan hurriedly handed over the blue potion for scabies, and shook his index finger proudly at the twins where Snape was not looking.

"Barely passing. Snape picked up the glass bottle and glanced at the scabies potion inside.

"What do you mean by barely passing?"

After class, Li Qiaodan said to the twins in annoyance, "What is this, in fact, the potion for scabies concocted by people is not up to standard......? Why did we write a 2-foot-long paper after we had successfully concocted a potion for scabies? ”

"Be quiet, if you want to get yourself in trouble. Fred said, pointing to Snape as he walked this way.

"Ahem. Albert cleared his throat and said to Jordan Lee, "Perhaps, Professor Snape thinks we have a talent for potions and wants to nurture us well." ”

Albert deliberately kept his voice to the point that Snape could hear it.

"You see, no one else is treated like this, is it? ”

"I hope your paper on potions for scabies doesn't disappoint me, Mr. Anderson. Snape turned his head to Lee Jordan and said, "As for you, you don't have to write the paper." ”

"What does he mean by that?" Lee Jordan muttered as he looked at Snape's distant back.

"What do you mean? Of course, you don't deserve special attention. Fred finally burst out laughing after Snape left, and he raised his hand and patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "It seems that Professor Snape really intends to give you special attention, maybe he wants to invite you to join the Potions Club!"

"Then I can only refuse, after all, I have already joined the Transfiguration Club. Albert said in a serious manner.

The next moment, all three laughed louder.

Of course, they could guess that Snape was unhappy with Albert, but there was nothing good to do with him, so they had no choice but to give Albert so-called special attention.

After all, not many students like to write homework, especially extra homework.
