A quiet Potions lesson is over.

After seeing Professor McGonagall's second-phase final version of the Animagus Transfiguration, and Professor Flitwick's magical spell set rapid fire, the Potions class, which doesn't seem to have changed much, seems to be a little less ..... Belch.... Surprise.

Although Snape was quite pleasantly surprised by him, after all, the man who is now his godfather, if he really had a greasy waxy face and a greasy hair that had not been washed for ten years, Harry would really have a little bit of a diaphragm, after all, a middle-aged greasy uncle or something, the impression was deducted too much.

Now the appearance of this cold middle-aged handsome guy is even more comfortable for Harry, and one day their identities will be known by others, and it is a very face-saving thing to have such a godfather who is a cool dick bully.

Anyway, Potions class was too... It's normal. ’

Harry was in a state of flux, slowly sorting out the equipment on the table, and when everyone else hurried to the Great Hall for dinner, he fell down.

"What are you thinking?"

Snape didn't leave either, and when the two of them were the only ones left in the classroom, Snape's expressionless cold face showed a slight human mood swing.

"Oh, nothing." Harry, who came to his senses, glanced around, then fell on Snape, "I just... It's just a little unresponsive. ”

Harry couldn't say that he felt that in such a magical world, Potions class was the most abnormal thing, right, Snape would probably think he had something wrong with his brain.

"Is there something you didn't understand?" Snape's brow furrowed, the scabies potion, a potion that can be mixed with his hands, is a complete potion in his eyes, and the only use is to train the hands of young wizards who have just come into contact with the potions class, and use it to train their skills in handling medicinal materials, as for boiling... This thing is not boiled, but just thrown into the pot in order to handle the processed things, stirred and stirred.

"Uh... No. Harry shook his head, "The potion is pretty simple, I was just thinking..."

He hesitated for a moment, pondering the next wording.

"I said ....."

"You think it's too easy, right, it's not challenging at all?"

Snape, who had been frowning, seemed to have a smile on his face at the moment.

Sure enough! Harry has completely inherited Lily's talent! What bullshit James Potter, that idiot better not leave anything for Harry! ’

Snape, who had played a set of black tigers in his head and smashed James' phantom, raised his chin slightly.

"That's nice."

Snape sighed slightly, as if he had seen some fragment of the past, and he had heard Lily exclaim a similar one when he and Lily had first arrived at Hogwarts.

Although Lily was a Muggle, she was very good at every subject, and there was no professor at Hogwarts who didn't like this brilliant genius witch, the sun and the moon were shining brightly, and Lily Evans was the first to be overwhelmed, which was almost what the professor at the time said about this girl.

"That's nice, Harry."

Snape patted Harry on the shoulder, a smile on his face that no living person had ever seen.

The smile almost scared Harry off, did he activate something wrong? Snape who can laugh? I'm afraid I'm going to hallucinate soon....

"This.... That one... I.... Teach... Belch.... Godfather? Are you alright? ”

"What will happen to me?"

Snape finally put away his smile, and when he returned to his normal expression, Harry breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you think these are too simple.... In fact, I should have understood a long time ago that you, who inherited the talent of your mother Lily, should not have been taught in the same way as those stupid people. ”

"Let me test your depth, Harry, come with me."

Snape, who turned around in style, led Harry out of the classroom, and not far from here was Snape's office.

But it was not so much an office as it was a luxurious, even luxurious, high-precision potions laboratory that Harry couldn't understand.

Pushing open the secret door behind the bookshelf, a huge room covering an area of about five hundred square meters appeared, all kinds of sophisticated instruments were neatly arranged, and in the small room divided by transparent crystals, there were many strange potions bubbling, and directly opposite the laboratory, through a transparent crystal wall, you could see another potions warehouse several times larger than here.

Harry saw a half-dismembered dragon creature in the warehouse, and since the scales had been peeled off, only flesh and organs remained, and Harry couldn't tell what kind of thing it was, but it must have been a dragon.

There was even a living giant whose limbs had been chopped off and soaked in a huge glass jar, and the legless behemoth was almost half Hagrid's height, with fierce fangs and a huge one-eyed forehead that showed his unusualness.

"That's the Norwegian Cyclops, and his Cyclops extract is an essential ingredient for farsightedness potions and clairvision potions, but it needs to be extracted from living bodies."

"Live... Living? ”

Harry was visibly stunned, "The giant is..."

"Ah, yes, I'm still alive, I'm soaked in nutrient solution, and I can live for decades."

Snape said lightly, "It took me a lot of effort to chop him into a stick and bring him back, the giant's magic resistance is too high, and the guy who can resist the dragon's breath is indeed a bit difficult to deal with, but fortunately, the spell I invented is against these rough-skinned things." ”

A smile tugged at the corners of Snape's mouth when he caught a glimpse of Harry's shining eyes, "Want to learn?" ”

"Uh-huh!" Harry nodded repeatedly, Harry had long wanted to learn this trick.

"It's a bit dangerous, though, this magic will teach you later."

"Now let's see what the real potion looks like, Harry."

Snape opened his hand, and a wall of crystal moved horizontally in front of him, hundreds of glass bottles filled with mystical magical potions.

"I told you that spells can solve ninety percent of the world's problems, but the remaining ten percent of the hardest ones are in potions!"

"Spells can heal superficial wounds, but potions can pull you back from the brink of death, even if you are blown to pieces, a bottle of ultimate life potion can regenerate your missing flesh."

Snape removed a thumb-sized vial from the shelf, containing two-thirds of the volume of the red viscous liquid.

"Just drink it, and the Grim Reaper won't even want to take it from me."

"Of course, potions don't just save people, they can do a lot of things that spells can do."

"It's just that if you want to do this, you need not only learning, but also talent."

"Some people can only perform in conventional potions in their lives, and the vast majority of potions masters in the world are busy people, even at Hogwarts, there are no more than ten people who can enter my elite class in the sixth year and take war potions every year."

"Because of talent?" Harry asked.

"Yes, talent." Snape nodded, "True Potions is built on talent beyond ordinary people, and without talent, no matter how hard you try, you can't do it." ”

"And your mother, Lily Evans, is a genius who has this talent, even more than anyone else."

"How do you compare to your godfather?" Harry asked, curious.

"Compare with me?" Snape hesitated, "Your mother is very good, well... Much better than others. ”

Although he didn't finish the sentence, Harry understood the meaning, Lily's excellence is relative to people, and he.... It is estimated that it can no longer be counted as a person.

"Harry, do you know what the most in-demand talent is in Potions?"

Snape asked softly, diverting the subject.

"This.," Harry shook his head, he didn't know at all, "I don't know, Godfather. ”

"Knowledge can be accumulated, experience can be accumulated, but there is one thing that cannot be accumulated by constant effort for Potions scholars."

"Potions doesn't require a wand to wield like spells and metamorphosis, but it does require a wizard to have a delicate sense of magic."

"The fusion of potions in the cauldron is not just stirring, stirring is just a process, and its core is to use the wizard's own magic to reconcile and fuse various different medicinal properties, and make them glow with real mystical magic."

"Come on, give it a try, and let me see how much of your mother's talent you have inherited."

With a wave of his hand, Snape summoned a crafting table on which lay an empty cauldron that was different in shape from the students making potions, it was a stout cylinder that was transparent.

Snape picked up seven potions of different colors from the apothecary table, and poured them into the cauldron one by one, but the expected blend did not appear, and the seven potions of different colors were distinct, each occupying a part of the cauldron according to its density.

There was a flame at the bottom of the pot, and even after being heated, the potions remained in their original state, completely unconnected with each other.

Snape handed Harry a silvery-white metal rod for stirring, "Try it and see what you can do." ”

The next thing Harry needs to do is even if Snape doesn't say it, he understands that the key to potions is harmony, and harmony requires a delicate perception of magic, and the more potions can be fused into one, then the higher the talent.

'I don't know what it looks like to pass...,' Harry sighed inwardly, 'Let's try hard, I guess Snape misunderstood something, forget it, it doesn't matter.' ’

After throwing aside the cranky thoughts in his head, Harry took the stirring stick, for wizards, magic is difficult to detect, this power that has been integrated into their bodies since birth has become a kind of instinct, in many cases, wizards rely on mysterious 'feelings' when using magic, as if they are growing flowers and cooking, in moderation, a little, such adjectives can only be understood but not spoken.

The quantification of mana has always been an unsolved problem in the wizarding world, otherwise it would not be so difficult to determine the standard power of spells, and each wizard thinks of a '1' differently.

Luckily, Harry had a big heart, and as he began to stir the potions at a constant speed, he frowned as he tried to catch the flow of his own mana, and then slowly poured it into the potion through the stirring rod at a steady rate.

In the first few minutes, the potions in the cauldron did not change much, only the top two or three layers of potions appeared cloudy, which made Snape slightly disappointed, and it took him less than two minutes to put the potion together perfectly, if it was Lily..... Well....

Wait. Snape thought to himself.

This kind of hyper-concentration was quite tiring, but Harry was no stranger to it, it was similar to the scene he had when he participated in freehand climbing, with a steep cliff face tens of meters high below, and the crack that was only one or two centimeters wide between his fingers, and the weight of his whole body was pressed against the fingertips of a few fingers, and he had no superfluous thoughts in his head at that time, only the determination to find a way forward and reach the end.

With enough concentration and patience, the flow of mana seemed to become clearer in Harry's perception, and although he didn't yet fully grasp all the mana veins, he could already sense the flow of mana from the stirrer.

Each layer of liquid has its own different properties, and it takes a completely different amount of mana to incorporate it, and even the direction in which the mana flows.

Harry, who had slowly found the trick, gradually changed the steps from the initial sequence of stirring, and as the force changed, the speed, and the direction of agitation continued to change, the top three layers of liquid mixed together at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the fourth layer began to become cloudy, and even the fifth layer fluctuated.

Snape's gaze softened, although it was a little slower, but Harry was also the first time he had come into contact with the subject of magic potions, and he was a beginner among beginners, even if it was a little slower, then it was understandable.

The beads of sweat on his forehead kept accumulating, and his bitten lips turned slightly pale, and when the liquid of the fifth layer was reconciled by Harry and the four layers above, he slowly exhaled a breath and raised his head a little tiredly.

"That's all I can do." Harry looked at Snape with some embarrassment, "Did you disappoint?" ”

"Not bad."

Snape nodded slightly, he was telling the truth, Harry's performance was not particularly outstanding, and this talent could also be given a nine.

"I'm not comforting you, if you can stir and reconcile the fifth layer of liquid, I can give you a score of nine, and if you can go further and reconcile the sixth layer, then it will be ten points, your mother is probably this level, but you are still young, and the magic power is not completely stable in your body."

"The sixth layer is only ten?"

A little confused, Harry put down the stirring rod, "What about the seventh layer?" ”

"Oh, don't think about that, a hundred out of 100, ninety points are on the seventh floor."

“........”

Harry, who didn't know how to complain, glared at Snape, was playing monkey?

"Compared to ordinary students, your talent is also excellent, as long as you can complete the reconciliation of the fourth layer, then you are qualified to enter my elite class, and those who can complete the sixth layer, as long as they study potions seriously, then it will take decades to mix the title of a master, as for the seventh layer...."

Snape touched his chin and thought: "There are only about twenty-seven or eighteen people in the world, half of them are old guys over eighty or ninety years old, although they are all Potions masters, but the difference between the superior and the inferior is too great, there is no need to compare." ”

"Every Potions scholar with the title of Master has his own direction of specialization, such as my original teacher, Horace Slughorn, whose direction of specialization is Blessing Potion, even if he is a Muggle, as long as he drinks his potion package, he can kill a thick-skinned giant with his fist in a short time without injury."

“？？？”

Harry's eyes widened in disbelief, when would this potion thing ..... Wrong!!!

The world itself is already wrong, you can't set the original template, think of Cat Superman and Dada Wizard! This isn't the world you remember, Harry!

Seeing Harry's shocked look, the corners of Snape's mouth rose slightly, "You'll also see, the miracle concocted in the crucible is the most brilliant light in the wizarding world." ”

"That.... Godfather. Harry, who had finally forced himself to accept the new setting, came back to his senses, "What are you good at?" ”

"War Pharmacy."

Snape spoke without hesitation, "Although I have studied more deeply in other areas, my best skill is the refining of war potions. ”

"Give up all unnecessary effects and maximize the potions' effectiveness."

"It's also the ultimate life potion, my potion can rebuild the missing body in fifteen seconds, and the recovery speed is four times faster than others, although the vitality consumed will also be slightly increased, but on the battlefield, time is life, recover later, why do you still have your life when you die."

"Of course, other functional potions will also have at least a five-fold increase, such as this power liberation potion."

Snape took a brown-black potion from the shelf, unscrewed the lid and drank it all without frowning.

In the moment after drinking the potion, Snape's body began to swell extremely, he was originally one meter eight and five meters tall and jumped up four or five inches, and the tuxedo, which was originally just slim, was instantly propped up to the point of bursting, if it weren't for the terrible quality of this magic cloth, this suddenly thick body would definitely tear it into rags.

"Even an ordinary person can hit forty tons of force with a single punch after the body has completely lifted the restriction on muscles, and after drinking this potion, the shackles that lock the upper limit of strength will disappear."

"Then it's not.... A punch over and you're gone? Harry stared at Snape's inflatable and explosive muscles in a daze, he could fully feel that he was bound by thin clothes, containing extremely terrifying violent power, no wonder Snape was in such a good shape in this life, and his feelings were taken by medicine??

"Nope." Snape shook his head slightly, "Magic is the power of miracles, and potions seal this miracle in the potion. ”

"I was able to throw three punches after drinking this potion, three punches weighing forty tons, three punches that would not cause irreversible damage to the body, but most of the other wizards who are not specialized in war potions can only make the potion take effect once, and the side effects are not lower than this."

Snape narrowed his eyes, then slapped his chest and spat out a large mouthful of brownish-black liquid, and as the liquid was spat out, his inflated and swollen body recovered.

"But after these three punches, the consumption of the body is also very large, although it will not die, but it will sharply consume the energy in the body, if you can't replenish energy in a very short time, after the fat is completely burned, the muscles will also be decomposed and transformed."

"It's good to rinse your mouth with this medicine once in a while, because the ingredients in it stimulate the body's activity and nourish the body are very helpful for maintaining good health."

Snape affirmed the fact that he was strong by taking medicine, but in his opinion, it was good that there were no side effects, and usually, people who entered the ranks of Potions masters would pay attention to the recuperation of their bodies, after all, they would always taste the strange new potions they had made, and it was not uncommon for them to roll over, although they basically didn't burp on the spot, but they could always be more calm.

"That's... What if Hagrid drank this? Harry asked with some curiosity, the strength of ordinary people's full burst is already so terrifying, but what about Hagrid, who has the blood of a giant?

"Probably kill a dragon or a giant with one punch."

Snape crooked his mouth, he had already made up the brutal scene in his brain, "It shouldn't be said to be killed, but blown up, a punch of at least two or three hundred tons of heavy blows can really be blocked, this guy's physical fitness is ten percent weaker than the real giant, such a perfect giant hybrid, to be honest, this is the first time I have encountered it, ordinary half-blood giants do not have such strong physical fitness." ”

He shook his head slightly, "That big man is also a cult thing, I really want to get it to study it." ”

Seeing Snape's imminent appearance, Harry quickly opened his mouth to divert the topic, Hagrid is a big friend he respects and likes very much, and he is sincere in his kindness to Harry, but he can't let Snape bring Hagrid into trouble, even if Snape is his godfather.

"So, Godfather, can I follow you to learn war potions?"

"Now?" Snape shook his head, "The foundation is not solid, even if I want to teach you, you can't learn it, first memorize the few medicinal material reference books in the book list, "A Thousand Herbs and Mushrooms", "Identification and Refining of Crystals and Minerals", "General Catalogue of Unconventional Magical Medicinal Materials", these are the foundations of the foundation. ”

"What's more, every Potions Scholar is fed with countless potions, talent is important, but hard work is equally important."

"If you're interested in this, then come to me in the office when you have time, and I'll make up for you."

"It's not too early." Snape glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "I won't be able to make dinner in time, go Harry." ”

With a wave of his hand, the secret door to his office opened.

"Oh, by the way, you can read this book, although it is a bit early for you, but you can also understand first, what war pharmacy is."

Snape somewhere he pulled out a thick, old book, with blurred gilded handwriting.

"Thank you, Godfather." Harry took the thick book, then took his leave.

"War Apothecary?" Harry glanced at the cover of the page, then walked out of Snape's office.

"This kind of potions science is the real taste."

He eagerly opened the book, and the first potion he saw was the Moldable High Energy Burst Potion IV, which detonated each ounce (about 28 grams) with an effect equivalent to 7 powerful blasting spells (roaring blasts) of standard strength.

"Made, C4? No! C4 doesn't have this stuff too much! ”

Harry, who snapped the book shut, still seemed to underestimate the content of war potions, and left this kind of thing to himself..... I'm afraid that the true face of my godfather is not a gangster, but an arms dealer.
