Chapter Ninety-Four: Modulation
Later, Professor Flitwick went to see Professor Gradier.
After learning about this, Professor Gradir was also silent, he thought that they were all good boys and would not drink.
He also shared his thoughts with Professor Flitwick.
Professor Flitwick looked at him and explained to him why Ralph was drinking.
The two of them, one tall and one short, looked at each other like this.
I thought I guessed what you guys were thinking. We thought we guessed what you thought.
In the end, it was Professor Flitwick who couldn't stand it first, after all, it was normal for people to have some discomfort with their heads tilted up.
It is worth mentioning that our Headmaster Dumbledore received the first roaring letter in history, the exact content of which is unknown to everyone, only a buzzing sound can be heard.
The letter was sent by Aberforth because Albus had told Aberforth about Ralph's condition, which Aberforth felt was the result of his incompetence.
Professor Flitwick did not tell Ralph's neighbors about it, but he did tell the professors about it, hoping that they would pay attention.
Albus also knew about it, and for some reason, he told his brother about it.
The headmaster's portrait and Fawkes in the headmaster's room covered their ears and looked at Albus, who was smiling happily under the roaring letter, his eyes full of weirdness.
Albus was indeed happy, because Aberforth had a concern, and perhaps in this way, he could be freed from the conviction of his past sins.
He looked out the window and couldn't help but be so engrossed that he didn't even know that the yelling letter had stopped.
What about himself? The person who once haunted him was far away, but the same was within reach.
Albus could face the world calmly, but he did not dare to face him.
It was he who imprisoned him in that tower, the tower that carried the ideals of their youth.
Looking at the palm of his hand, Albus seemed to be able to see the wound he had been, and the blood was flowing wantonly, and he couldn't stop the joyful smiles of the two young men.
Is he like himself, gray-haired, allowing time to leave a mark on his body.
"Albus."
As if hallucinating, a voice came to my ears.
In the distance, an old man, sitting on the top, let the cold wind blow his hair, looking into the distance, his mouth opening and closing, without making any sound, for the wind had already sent it far away.

Maybe the bottle was not high, or the amount was too small, but Claude still couldn't figure out the full recipe, and only found a few plausible ingredients.
But, because of that bottle of wine, Ralph's state is back, and he can help Claude find materials together.
Surprisingly, the divination is still inaccurate. The recipes that come out are always plausible and can't meet their requirements at all.
In the end, it was Professor Sgrahorn who came over and explained to them in detail what a potion recipe was, focusing on the recipe.
The professor described the composition of the formula, the main, the negative, the auxiliary, and the base, which is the four most important parts of a potion formula.
The main is the source of the potion's primary effect, which can be the opposite of the main potion's effect.
The auxiliary effect is to strengthen and stabilize the effect of the potion, reduce the toxic side effects of the potion, etc.
The base is the basic framework of a potion, and if you boil enough potions, you will find that one of the ingredients of many potions is basically the same, to take the simplest example: clear water, wizard's magic.
Instead, it reverses the effect of the current potion, and it is the most used in potions, and many potions are made to produce potions with the opposite effect first, and the effect is reversed by using materials with a "counter" effect.
The simplest example of this is the first potion of the first year - the potion of the cure for boils.
If porcupine thorns are not properly added, the potion will turn into a boil-inducing potion.
After knowing these matters, everyone was stunned.
When I was researching potions flavor enhancers before
They start from the taste, that is to say, they first find the main ingredient and are looking for other auxiliary drugs.
And now, they didn't even find the ingredients, and they wanted to quickly figure out the entire potion recipe, which was obviously unreasonable, even though the magic was already very unreasonable.
But, now the question arises again, what is the main ingredient? Air?
couldn't think of it, so a few people who had no choice but to put down the research of blank flavor enhancers and turned to the development of multi-flavor flavor enhancers.
This is very simple, just change the main ingredient on the basis of the ordinary flavor enhancer.
For this reason, they also deliberately used Professor Sgrahorn's family magic to refine the corresponding flavor and manifest it into crystals, which is called "flavor crystals".
Soon, the No. 1 multi-flavor flavor enhancer was completed, adding notes of mint, honey, tomato.
Ralph took a sip, and the cool sweetness was tinged with a sour taste, which was not bad.
A few eight-eyed giant spiders also said yes, but there were no pineapples.
They were spoiled by Professor Sgrahorn and fell in love with the taste of pineapple and honey.
Subsequently, several people made some flavor enhancers according to their own preferences, how to say, some are okay, some taste very good, and some make people's faces distorted when they drink it.
Soon, they discovered a problem, these flavors were mixed together, and after the first sip, the taste exploded in the taste buds, and it felt good.
However, after drinking for a long time, there is a feeling of greasy, which makes people lose the desire to drink.
They began to look for a solution.
Eventually, a book called Plants and Time was found on Professor Sgrahorn's shelf.
It elaborates on the temporal significance of the various parts of the plant within Potions.
For example, the growth rings of a plant, its outermost layer is new, and the innermost layer is the oldest.
Add an outer layer of grind to the potion, huh? It can speed up the effect of potions that are slow to act, and there is no effect on normal effects.
The inner layer is grinding, which can delay the time for the potion to take effect.
The author also points out the condition that the plant must be old enough, otherwise it will have a better effect than nothing.
When they saw the book, they were so rewarded that Severus wanted to read it through and memorize it, a field of potions that had been found but neglected.
Using Ralph's wand for divination, and with Hagrid's company, the men quickly found a suitable tree in the Forbidden Forest, close to them.
Taking a section between a thick enough branch, Ralph cast a magic spell to reconnect the broken branch with the tree, which was a bit abrupt but not bad.
They gave Hagrid a bottle of pineapple-flavored flavor enhancer and left.
Back in the office, they had a heated discussion and finally decided to divide the flavor enhancer flavor into three levels, top, middle and finish.
As for which flavors to match each blend, they decided to let the wand or Claude with his eyes closed decide.
