Chapter 201 Try it out
The process of making the alchemy puppet did not go well, and the magical creatures after the failure were all consumables as Locke expected, and in the end they didn't even get started.
The alchemy knowledge that the old witch gave Locke, the uncertainties in it are actually the same as the recipe for refining potions in this world, there is no strict quantitative method at all, and the details require a little bit of Locke's experimental summary.
"Teacher, take a look at my latest work."
Compared to the difficulties encountered by Locke's side, Hermione arrived quite smoothly, just a few days after the holiday, Hermione came to Locke's side, and maintained the levitation charm with a little proudness, signaling to Locke the potion in mid-air.
A bottle of life and death water and blood tonic medicine, looking at Hermione's appearance, must be the best potion affirmed by Kate, relying on the experience gained during this time, Locke can also see that the quality is very good, not just qualified.
"It's pretty good, I'll make a collection of these two bottles, and I'm not sure when I'll be able to use them." Locke smiled and took the potion from mid-air and complimented Hermione a few more times.
No one hates compliments, especially a young girl of Hermione's age, who loves Locke's compliments.
"I was going to give it to the teacher." Hermione said with a grin, because of Locke's various assistance by her side, plus her talent is very good, in a semester, she has basically learned the first year course, and now she is also putting more energy into potions.
I feel that it may be influenced by Locke.,The original jack-of-all-trades Miss Hermione has evolved again.,It's very good at learning.,Sure enough, being excellent is actually a habit.,Positive feedback after success is constantly motivated.,Hermione has been learning a lot lately.。
Mr. and Mrs. Granger saw it, and even felt that their daughter was a little too tired, although they also knew the difference between elite education and happy education, Mr. Granger was able to become a high-income dentist, and he was also rolled up from a young age, but his daughter was really a little too much.
For this reason, I also talked to Hermione and Locke separately, and only after confirming that there was no problem did I put my mind at ease.
Speaking of the Harry Potter world, Locke thinks that the most magical potion is the magic elixir, which can actually change the luck of the ethereal nothingness, which is really a bit special.
However, after a detailed understanding, Locke confirmed that this kind of good luck was illusory, and it did not really change the luck, but the elixir actually changed the user himself.
He mainly influences the user, such as making people more confident, more proactive, etc., so as to change the 'luck'.
And it can't drink too much, if you take too much, it will have a bad effect on people, such as making people arrogant, and even making people have dizziness and so on.
This kind of potion can only be made by a few potions masters, and it is often bought as soon as the goods come out, and even the works of those masters are directly booked in advance, and it is extremely difficult to buy them on the market.
Locke had only gotten one bottle from Boginbock, and taking one-third of a bottle of Elixir at a time was the most appropriate dose.
He didn't use it for himself the first time, but first used a third of it for others to try and make sure that there were no bad effects, so he took one himself.
After drinking it, he felt that his brain was more active, other complex emotions were suppressed, and the whole person entered a more rational state.
This is somewhat similar to the impact of NZT-48 on the protagonist in the movie Locke once watched, but for Locke, who has a super high IQ and strong self-confidence, the effect is relatively limited.
This discovery caused Locke to give Hermione the last of the Elixir and then asked Boginbork to keep an eye out to see if he could buy another bottle or two.
There are only a few bottles of the elixir that circulate every year, and Locke is going to get a copy for Peggy, so that the excess can be stored for later use, or he can also study it to see if he has a chance to make it in the future.
As for the disadvantage of not being able to save it indefinitely, Locke can put him in dimensional space and block the passage of time, so that it can be preserved forever.
Returning to Hogwarts after the Christmas break, Locke paid more attention to Professor Quirrell Quirrell.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts professor, a former graduate of Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts and a more knowledgeable wizard, had not taught the subject before.
According to the impression of the senior students, Professor Quirrell is a very friendly and cheerful person, his lessons are very fresh, and he likes to use real objects to assist teaching during class.
However, perhaps the curse of the Hogwarts Defense teacher came into effect, and Professor Quirrell accepted the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and in order to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class more perfectly, he deliberately went on a trip during the holidays, intending to accumulate practical experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
His life took a turn for the worse, he was possessed by Voldemort's remnant spirit, and under the threat and bewitchment of the other party, he finally became a lowly servant of the other party.
Professor Quirrell had lost his friendliness and cheerfulness as before, and had become cowardly and helpless, seemingly trembling and panicking about everything around him.
In order to hide the remnant of Voldemort on the back of his head, he wore a turban around his head all the year round, and never took it off on any occasion.
Locke, who is familiar with the plot, certainly knows this situation, and his task is to eliminate Voldemort at least once, and if he can completely eliminate Voldemort, the reward will increase a lot.
Locke had been secretly following Professor Quirrell, and had been learning about the Trio with Harry through Hermione, and that night, while reading a book in the library, Locke realized that the spell he had set on Hermione for help had been triggered.
"It's finally time to wait for me to see where they're going." With this in mind, Locke put the book back in his hand and quickly disappeared into the library.
Casting an invisibility spell to the door of the secret room, he saw the dog sticking a head towards the entrance of the secret room below, and before the other party could realize himself, Locke immediately cast a spell on the harp next to him, and soon made the dog quiet again.
Use the levitation charm to go down through the entrance, and the devil's net around him will wrap around him.
"Bright as day!" Locke cast his magic directly, and his fingertips seemed to suddenly turn into a bright flashlight, and the sun-like beam suddenly shone on the devil's net.
As if burned, the devil's net immediately retracted, letting go of the road below, Locke floated lightly and fell below, walked through the long pitch-black passage, came to a hall, the faint moonlight scattered from the skylight, and Locke saw the key floating in the air that seemed to have wings.
As if noticing Locke, the hundreds of keys were aimed at Locke, flapping their wings and swooping down like a rain of arrows.
"Crowd Bondage Spell." Without hesitation, Locke stretched out his hand and pointed, and the hundreds of keys that were still swooping were successfully fixed in the air by Locke.
Continuing on, Locke saw the room next to Hermione, who had passed out.
"So, were you playing chess just now?" Locke asked, looking around.
"Teacher!" Turning her head to see Locke, Hermione immediately said happily: "You're finally here, by the way, teacher, you come to see Ron, he seems to be injured." ”
"He was fine, he was just overly frightened for a while and fainted temporarily." After checking Ron a little, Locke said, "So you guys run over and play adventure games yourself?" What about Harry, who is with you all the time? ”
"He's in!" Hermione pointed to the passage ahead, "Snape should be down there too, we have to stop him!" ”
"Poor boy, I still think that Snape is behind the scenes, but his temperament is too much like a villain, so the image is still very important."
Locke thought so to himself, and said in the innermost: "I don't think it's likely to be Snape, but I'll go and see, and I won't have anything to please." ”
With that, Locke looked at the passage over there, thinking that this was the first time he had faced Voldemort, and it was just the right time for Locke to try the other party's quality.
