Chapter 1020

The situation of the two consecutive Potions classes was unavoidable, for students who were exposed to Polyjuice Potion for the first time. This was the first time they had brewed such a complex potion, not to mention the many ingredients, and the steps were extremely cumbersome, especially when it was stirring, and it was necessary to deal with all kinds of materials at the same time, and novices would often get the wrong time or add the wrong ingredients in a hurry.

Yes, the mistakes made by students are so low-level. You know, this is still an improvement class, and it's no wonder that Snape had only allowed O.W.L.'s Potions students to enter his improvement class. In contrast, Slughorn's students, who lowered the bar to "good," were mixed.

But it's not without students who perform well.

In addition to Solim, Harry, and Hermione's performance as always, Draco also made a decent appearance due to his previous various small stove behaviors, and there were two other Ravenclaw students who also performed well, Solim observed while waiting for the first stage of boiling time, those two Ravenclaw students used methods that were obviously not provided in the textbooks, considering the small library at the top of the Ravenclaw Tower, and Ms. Ravenclaw's attainments in potions, it is also reasonable to leave something for future generations~ the past.

As for the performance of other students...... I can only say that it is difficult to put into words. Slughorn would wander around in the first period, but he didn't leave Solim's side for the whole time of the second period, and after seeing Solim's side, he moved two steps to see Harry, and then took the time to see Hermione and Draco.

The professor could also see that Harry and Hermione were clearly using the same method, and that Solim and Draco were in the same situation.

Watching Solim put the processed African tree snake skin and the horn powder of the two-horned beast into the cauldron, Slughorn couldn't help but praise, "Very good, I'm sure it's not the first time you've made a polyjuice potion." "

After all, he is a Potions master with a professional title, and Slughorn still has this eyesight.

"It's not the first time. Solim increased his firepower and counted in his mind, but that didn't stop him from talking.

"In fact, the brewing of Polyjuice Potion is probably one of my most proficient potions"

The ferocious flames under the crucible suddenly turned into small flames, which meant that after 24 hours, the boiling process would officially enter the second step of the second stage, thinking about the lesson tomorrow afternoon, Solim asked:

"Professor, I remember you're supposed to be teaching sixth grade this time tomorrow afternoon, right......?

"Oh, that's not a problem. Slughorn waved his hand, "You can just come when the time comes, and I'll put your crucible over there—"

The professor pointed to the remote corner of the classroom.

"It won't matter, and you can continue to finish your boiling work there when the time comes. "

There will be no class for Solim tomorrow afternoon, but due to the special potion of compound potions, the students in the seventh-grade potions improvement class will have to find time to deal with the follow-up.

Solim was already familiar with this situation, and in the past few years, he had to deal with the bottles and cans in a hidden classroom every night, and sometimes even rushed to deal with the potions made yesterday night, and in the stage of the potion brewing process, Solim had opened a huge gap with his peers - the gap between experienced and inexperienced.

It's like a fruit bowl being suddenly asked to pick up an iron pot to make a hot dish, and it's certain that he's in a hurry.

As far as Solim himself observed, it was normal for only 7 students in the entire Potions Improvement class to be on the way, and the rest had wasted time in the first lesson, and in Ron's case, he had just failed again because Harry's Potions textbook from Snape had already turned the page.

When Harry first got it, Hermione soon learned the true identity of the "half-blood prince" from Solim, and then compiled the annotations that Snape had written in the book and wrote them down in his textbook.

Now he should regret not learning from Hermione to write those notes in his book.

However, instead of blaming himself entirely for his mistakes, Ron sulked at Harry for not "taking care" of himself. In his opinion, Harry should wait for himself, or dictate some key steps.

Since it was the raising class, Goyle and Crabbe, the two at the bottom, were absent, Seamus. Finigan also didn't take Potions class for well-known reasons, which left Ron at the bottom of the circle of Potions class in the surrounding circle.

Ron didn't really like the feeling. In the few few glances that Slughorn threw at him, Ron felt that he might be being treated like an imbecile who had no knowledge and no skills to sneak into the improvement class.

Just as Solim was hand-shifting his bottles and cans to the corner of the classroom, the bell rang.

"All right, kids—" Slughorn clapped his hands, "anyone who has already put African tree snake skin and bicornus horn powder in the cauldron and started boiling it can go, but don't forget the rest of the process." (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"As for the rest—" Slughorn shook his head at the cloudy liquid in the pot for most people, "if you still want to get a class grade, I'd suggest you'd better complete it." "

For those students who come from normal families and want to get a job in the wizarding world after graduation, the comments of the professors of each department are very important. This is especially true of a professor like Slughorn, who has a lot of energy and connections, and a good word of his advice, or even a special letter of recommendation, can get a student a well-paying job.

No one wants to make a bad impression here at Slughorn. In fact, many students at Hogwarts wanted to be on good terms with him, or at least familiar.

Normally, there are two ways to get close to Slughorn, one is Potions class, and the other is the so-called Slug Club. The second point is not easy to do, so many students try to express themselves in Potions class as much as possible, hoping to get Slughorn's attention and enter the Slugs Club.

Most of the students chose to stay in the hall to continue completing the current stage of the potion, but a few chose to leave.

Ron was one of them, and the second to go—after seeing Sabini huff and drop the stirring stick, pick up his bag and leave, he seemed to find a role model and began to pack his things for leave.

"Ron, why did you get out?"

Harry in the hallway was asking Solim for news, and Hermione was listening with her ears on the side, only to see Ron walking out with his bag on his back and looking unhappy.

"Because I'm not like you can get help from books!" Ron was angry that Harry didn't help him in class, and he thought Harry should share the production process with him.

Harry was a little dumbfounded, he really didn't expect his good buddy to say such a thing, in fact, Harry had already "taken care" of him at the time, the book was placed directly between them, and Ron could see it when he looked down. It's he himself who can't keep up.

Hermione glanced at Weasley dangerously, but the girl didn't bother to argue with him, and as long as Ron didn't mess with her, Hermione didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Rather than arguing with Weasley, Hermione would rather have a conversation with Solim.
