Chapter 11: The First Potions Lesson (Subscriptions, Tickets, Collections)

The first Potions class was a fifth-year class, and the students in the class were naturally four houses together. After all, at this grade, Potions is no longer a compulsory but an elective course, except for Slytherin, unless you really like Potions, which student would choose Snape's class, so there are not many students.

"Good morning, fellow students." Weston stood on the podium and looked down with a smile, "I guess I don't need to introduce myself, do I?" ”

The students were all happy, and the atmosphere of restraint at the beginning of the class was suddenly swept away.

"Okay, then I don't need to introduce myself, you don't need that!" Weston waved his hand casually, "Professor Snape didn't leave anything about his teaching process before he left, so I don't know exactly how good you are, or what potions you've all learned. ”

"Of course, I'm not stupid enough to flip through a textbook, and Professor Snape isn't in the habit of teaching textbooks. I think we all know about this! ”

The students nodded quietly when they thought about it. It's true, there are a lot of Snape potions, you can't see them in textbooks, you can only find them on the market.

"To tell you the truth, I've been struggling to teach you something!" Weston pointed to his head, "After all, I don't want to be a mistaken child, but no one knows about the progress of teaching. Still, I had an idea in mind this morning. ”

"Why don't we learn something special!"

Something special? The students all looked at Weston with curiosity.

"First of all, please put away your wands and tools." Weston smiled lightly, "Trust me, it's best to get into the habit of taking notes at all times in my class, and it will make you improve a little more." ”

The students obediently took out the parchment and quills.

"So, let's get started now!" Weston nodded slightly, stepped aside, and with a wave of his big hand, a line of words was generated on the blackboard out of thin airβ€”microrefining.

"Does anyone know that word?" Weston asked.

"This seems to be a method of refining potions by the Potions Master?" A Slytherin student said with some uncertainty.

"That's right, this is the method of a potions master, and it is also the standard to measure whether you are a potions master, of course, knowing how to refine a small amount does not mean that you are a potions master, you also need to learn to over-refine and create your own potions."

As he spoke, Weston waved his hand again, and there was another row of words on the blackboard, which was what he had just said about the conditions for becoming a Potions Master.

"Potions masters are recognized geniuses in the wizarding world, and wizards generally believe that in order to become a Potions Master, you must be very talented in potions! This is because both over-refining and micro-refining must have a good understanding of how potions react. ”

"There was once a high-level potions master who came up with the idea that if a wizard with a talent for potions could refine enough potions, then he would achieve the effect of quantitative change causing qualitative change and become a potions master."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"I think it's possible!" This time, a Hufflepuff boy spoke, "There are so many potions that have been refined, so it's not difficult to create similar potions, isn't it?" ”

"No, you're not right!" A Ravenclaw student retorted, "It takes time to refine potions, for example, the elixir of fortune, the refining time of the orthodox elixir is more than a year, and before the refining is over, you don't know if you have succeeded in refining, are you sure that your lifespan is enough?" ”

When the students heard this, their faces changed, not that what the student said was wrong, but that what they said was so right that some of their dreams of becoming a potions master through this method were shattered in an instant.

"Slap, slap, slap,......" Weston applauded slowly, "The two classmates are right, but one of them said half of it, this method is okay, and it is recognized by the wizarding world, but as this Ravenclaw classmate said, it will undoubtedly take a long time." ”

"It can be said that in addition to being a potions family, most wizarding families do not have such conditions, because in addition to time, the amount of gold gallons required in this process is unimaginable! Master Damkos Marcus, the inventor of the wolf poison potion, is one such example. ”

"According to what he said, he is not a gifted potions genius, but the potions talent is slightly stronger than that of ordinary wizards, and the method he uses is to continuously refine potions, and finally become a potions master, and it took him more than fifty years in time."

"Master Marcus said; If Hogwarts castles can be bought and sold, the gold gallons I spend will at least buy Hogwarts! Although this statement is not lacking in exaggeration, it is enough to see that the burden in the middle is not something that anyone can bear. ”

"Professor, isn't there any other way?" One of the Gryffindor girls stood up, her face full of unwillingness, "I like potions very much, and I want to become a potions master, but my family can't afford this method!" ”

, this classmate, are you a trust? You're so good at this table! Weston looked at the girl with a hint of inexplicability, then smiled and said, "Of course, this is what I'm going to teach you - potion refining!" This is the method created by my teacher. ”

Dry goods are coming! The students all looked at Weston intently, their quill pens soaked in ink, and both ears propped up, for fear that they would miss a word.

Seeing this, Weston smiled slightly, and nodded secretly: "Potion refining, as the name suggests, is to refine the active ingredients in the potion. ”

"You should know that basically all potions have residues after refining, which is the ineffective part of the herbs, and I think you should have noticed this. Potion refining is the removal of all ineffective ingredients. ”

In the following time, Weston meticulously explained the detailed steps of potion purification, and the students were also writing hard, and none of them asked any questions, for fear that they would write something less.

The time of the class passed like that.

"I've told you about the method of potion purification, and we'll start the next class, and we'll really do it." Weston paused slightly, "Now, class is over!" ”

"Professor, don't we have any homework?" A Hufflepuff girl asked timidly.

This kid is really honest, he really deserves to be a Hufflepuff student!

Weston muttered inwardly, still smiling on the surface, "You don't need that!" I don't leave any homework either. ”

Without waiting for the students to cheer, Weston continued: "In my class, there are only two possibilities for passing and failing, and there is no third. If you don't pass Potions class, then sorry, maybe you should try a different course. ”

"Now, class!"
