Chapter 60 Chapter 1 Potions Class

There are many joys in youth, and this little episode brought surprises and after-dinner talk to the young wizards of Hogwarts. For a while, Yang Tian's name spread in a small circle in Hogwarts...

After eating and dealing with the enthusiastic classmates around him, Yang Tian finally got the course schedule for this semester.

When Yang Tian saw the course schedule, his head started to hurt again. It was Monday morning, Potions class.

Although Yang Tian is very good at potions, think about Professor Snape...

Well, actually there is nothing to be afraid of, I am not Harry Potter.

After preparing himself mentally, Yang Tian picked up two burgers and went to wake up Terry Booth...

The potion class was arranged in a dungeon classroom in the Hogwarts Castle dungeon. It was colder here than in the main building of the castle, and the animal specimens soaked in glass jars along the wall were even more shivering.

When Yang Tian and Terry entered the classroom, there were not many students in it. He immediately saw Hermione and her companions sitting in the front row.

Yang Tian remembered that her name was Padma Patil, and she had a twin sister named Parvati Patil, who was sorted into Gryffindor.

Yang Tianke ignored Terry who was muttering all the time and flew straight to the seat behind Hermione and sat down.

"Yang Tian, ​​you are so mean. You fly on that cloud by yourself and let me run behind you. Do you know that? You will have no friends if you do this." Terry still refused to give up.

"Terry, believe me, I am definitely thinking about you. Look at your figure. Losing weight is the only thing you need to do now."

"Then you could also fly slower. I felt like I was about to die just now!"

"No, Terry, don't you understand my good intentions? How can you lose weight by running so slowly?"

The two men's whispered bickering made the two little girls in the front row laugh so hard that they fell backwards. They tried hard to suppress their laughter, their shoulders trembling, and they pricked up their ears to listen to what happened next.

But I didn't care. As time went by, more and more students came into the classroom...

With a "bang", the basement door was pushed open heavily and Professor Snape walked in quickly.

The black cloak fluttered in the wind behind him, like a giant bat gliding over.

"You are here to learn the precise science and exacting craft of potion-making," he began, his voice barely above a whisper but everyone could hear every word he said.

There is no doubt that Professor Snape is a rare good teacher in the original book, except that he is a little mean and has some dementia when facing Harry Potter. He has the deterrent power to keep the classroom in order without any effort.

"Since there is no need to wave wands foolishly here, many of you do not consider it magic. I do not expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of a simmering cauldron with white smoke and fragrant aromas..."

He continued to murmur: "I can teach you how to improve your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you are not the kind of fools I often encounter."

After a pause, Professor Snape suddenly changed the subject and said, "Perhaps some of you already had a certain reputation in potions before coming to Hogwarts, and you were even complacent about it, although that was most likely due to the honor you gained from your family."

"A ten-year-old who improved the formula of the wolfsbane potion? I can understand the huge price a family would pay for their descendants to gain fame, but that must be backed up by corresponding strength."

"Then Mr. Yang Tian, ​​please tell me, what is white fresh essence? How can we obtain high-quality white fresh essence?"

"Dianxian essence is a medicine with powerful therapeutic effects made by purifying Dianxian grass..." Yang Tian answered without hesitation.

"Introducing Valerian."

"Valerian is a plant with magical properties. Its roots can be used to make a decoction of the living hell, and its branches can be used to make a potion of oblivion."

"Valerian was considered a panacea in the Middle Ages due to its sedative and antispasmodic properties. As a result, the herb was often used to treat insomnia and was considered a sleeping pill..."

"Then let's talk about the precautions for taking the love potion."

"It is not advisable to take too much euphoria. It will cause side effects such as singing too much and twisting the nose. The euphoria cannot bring real happiness to people... Taking too much is like being cast under the Imperius Curse. Therefore, it is listed as one of the banned drugs of the Ministry of Magic."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Tian added, "Adding a sprig of peppermint can offset the occasional side effects of singing too much and twisting your nose."

……

Thus, a famous question-and-answer session starring Snape and Yang Tian began, lasting 20 minutes and asking hundreds of questions. This extremely fast question-and-answer session shocked everyone present, even Snape himself.

Snape asked all the questions from easy to difficult, ranging from material properties, prescription preparation, brewing difficulties, and even efficacy and pharmacology. Even some extremely unpopular advanced potion knowledge did not stump this boy.

It was so comprehensive that Snape was speechless.

In his mind before, Yang Tian was just a kid with a little talent for potions who used his family's power to claim the title of a medicine reformer.

If someone said that this prescription was really improved by Yang Tian, ​​he would never believe it.

Snape was accustomed to this kind of practice. He understood it and even did not mind it.

As a child of nobility, it is normal to be paved by all kinds of things. Snape just wants to knock down the boy's arrogance and false mask, let him face his own abilities and study hard.

But after a series of questions and answers, Snape realized how wrong he was. But at the same time, he was overwhelmed by a sense of shame...

Without asking any more questions, Snape just looked at Yang Tian deeply, then turned around, fluttering his bat-like robes as he walked and said, "Why don't you write these questions down?"

Then, the rustling sound of writing came from the classroom...

The following Potions class was uneventful. Snape continued according to the class schedule, "Today, we are going to brew a very simple potion. It is used to treat scabies."

Seeing Snape's cold and serious eyes, the young wizards were all excited, wondering how they would learn to make a magical potion that could bring the dead back to life.

But when they heard that it was just a potion to treat scabies, the students showed disappointment and some of the little wizards even looked disdainful.

Seeing this scene, Snape did not make any explanation, but continued teaching with a sarcastic look on his face.

He just waved the magic wand in his hand, and words appeared one by one on the blackboard behind him, as if someone was writing.

Soon, the complete prescription appeared on the blackboard.

Yang Tian looked at the prescription carefully and compared it with what he had learned in his mind. He found that this recipe was only the simplest one, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was very familiar with this potion. This was the first time he prepared a potion independently. He could still remember the various scenes in which he was tricked by his grandmother.

After Yang Tian briefly simulated it in his mind, he started to get started.

The students who were still looking for raw materials according to their notes were surprised to find that Yang Tian had already started to work, grinding the snake tooth powder, heating it, waving the magic wand, adding slugs...

The step-by-step operation is as smooth as flowing water and completed in one go.

This also made the little wizards finally understand what precise science and strict craftsmanship are. Everyone was fascinated by it.

But at this moment, Yang Tian did an unexpected move. When adding the porcupine quills, he actually added a drop of mugwort infusion.

Several young wizards who discovered that Yang Tian's operation was abnormal looked at Yang Tian in shock, and even took a step back unconsciously, as if this change would bring extremely serious consequences.

But Snape didn't say much about Yang Tian's operation. Instead, he slowly walked behind Yang Tian and carefully observed the changes in the crucible.

Finally, as Yang Tian waved his magic wand for the last time, pink smoke instantly rose from the crucible, and the azure liquid in the crucible was particularly beautiful...
