Chapter 32: Potions and Betting (Fourth update, please vote for me)

No matter how much the twins and Peeves, no, the two and one ghost objected and disliked it, the name of the organization was finally determined to be "Golden Huang".

Wright refuted them with only one sentence from beginning to end, which was: "Didn't I say that the leader's first decision would not be rejected? The name of the organization is the first decision."

After the first organizational meeting on Sunday night, Fred and George sent Wright numerous invitations over the next three days to host a second organizational meeting with him. But Wright knew without even thinking that they definitely wanted to continue discussing the name of the organization, so he refused them all on the grounds that he was "busy with studies."

Thursday afternoon, Potions class.

While Wright was putting potion ingredients into his cauldron, he quietly observed Snape standing on the podium.

As usual, Snape's expression was still indifferent and cold, and his eyes without any emotion were like a pair of empty dry wells.

It seemed that the little story between him and Harry that had gone viral in school had not affected Snape's professional ethics, Wright suddenly thought, but he didn't know how Harry was doing these days.

But it may also be because no one dared to ask this question in front of him, so Snape still doesn't know those little stories that are widely circulated among girls and will make people blush when they hear them.

As for why Wright knew it, wasn't there Chang Chu?

"Paz, do you think you don't need to learn potions at all?"

Just when Wright was deep in thought, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Sorry, Professor!" Wright immediately lowered his head and looked at his crucible. The potion in it was almost ready.

"Hmph! Five points from Ravenclaw!" Snape left without mercy.

Wright stared at the crucible with an ugly expression, and now his whole week's efforts were in vain.

Since entering the second grade, the methods for professors in various subjects to add points to students have become increasingly poor, and the number of extra points has become less and less. Five points was pretty much what Wright had to do all week last Monday.

While waiting quietly, Wright seized the opportunity and cast the consecration spell on the potion in the crucible, and the potion was fully formed in an instant.

The consecration spell is also a new part of Potions class in second grade.

Wright originally thought that potions class was simply a course that ordinary people could directly operate, but he did not expect that after entering the second grade, there was an additional step in brewing various potions: consecration.

In traditional potion science, the materials required for refining the potion are actually not as important as imagined. The most important thing is to make the contents of this crucible produce magic power, and the most critical point for producing magic power is the "consecration spell".

Only by using a wand to cast a "consecration spell" can the potion in the crucible successfully become a magic potion. Otherwise, what was in the crucible would just be a pot of soup, a super invincible and terrifying dark cooking soup mixed with various magical materials.

In this way, the so-called "magic potions" that Wright himself brewed in the first grade were just some herbal soups.

During the first week of school, Wright gradually realized a problem. That was his previous belief that the three most important subjects in Hogwarts were "Transfiguration, Transfiguration and Charms", which was actually incorrect.

In fact, these magical subjects taught in Hogwarts are not independent and separate from each other.

For example, Wright's recent knowledge about Animagus shows that if you want to practice Animagus, you must master profound knowledge of herbs and potions. Simply relying on the transformation technique The achievement of completing the Animagus is purely a dream.

Therefore, the reason why the original four members of the original generation (James, Sirius, Lupine, and Peter) were able to achieve Animagus, in addition to their own attainments in transformation, should also come from Deng Xiaoping to a large extent. Blido or Professor McGonagall's help.

Speaking of potions, catching magical animals requires magic, collecting precious herbs requires a certain amount of research on herbal medicine, and the steps to brew potions require both ordinary people's knowledge of biochemical experiments and the help of magic spells.

Therefore, Potions is not something that ordinary people can learn and master.

…

After the Potions class ended, Wright followed the crowd and walked towards the auditorium upstairs. Dinner time was about to begin.

Wright, who was sitting on the long table, saw Harry happily eating potatoes on the Gryffindor table from a distance. It seemed that the two male protagonists in the school story were not affected by those things. .

After all, if he had known those stories, Harry would not have let his long hair hang down so unabashedly and still have such a happy expression on his face.

"Wright, what are you looking at?" Eddie, who was sitting next to Wright, asked Wright, "Oh, it turns out to be Harry Potter!"

"Wright, did you also hear about what happened in the first-grade flying class this afternoon?" Eddie asked Wright with an interested look on his face.

"First grade flying lessons?" Wright blinked, "Yes, last night I seemed to have seen those first graders gathered around the bulletin board and looking at something in the common room. I thought it was something, but it turned out to be flying lessons. !”

"Yeah," Eddie looked over to Harry, "but it seems like Wright you don't know about what just happened this afternoon."

"What's the matter?" Wright asked Eddie pretending to be interested. It would be great if Chang Chu was here at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have to listen to Eddie say these things that he already knew.

"It's Harry Potter. He rode the school's public broomstick, dived fifty feet from the air, and then reached out and grabbed a small memory ball," Eddie said in an exclamation tone, "Harry he wasn't even hurt at all."

"But then Professor McGonagall heard the news and called him over, but it seemed that Harry was not punished." Eddie suddenly curled his lips, "Professor McGonagall is always said to be the most fair professor in the school, but now... It just looks like that.”

"Eddie," Wright suddenly remembered something, "How about we make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Eddie said in a wary tone, "Let me make it clear in advance that if you don't bet on Harry Potter being able to enter the house team, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will definitely enter the Gryffindor house team. As long as their captain Wood is not stupid."

"Well, I'm not betting on that," Wright said, "I'm betting that Harry can join their house team this year, this Quidditch season, and can play directly in his first year."

"It's a bet!" Eddie said happily. Who doesn't know that it has been more than a hundred years since a student became a member of the school team in the first grade!

"What to bet on?"

"Yesterday's History of Magic homework." Wright said with a smile.

It is quite common for students to bet on History of Magic homework. After all, Professor Binns was not aware of the problem, although yesterday's History of Magic homework was a little smaller.

"Deal!" Eddie responded with a smile.
