Chapter 686 You must be sweating all over, behind bars!

Harry stood up first and pointed to a crucible in the distance. The potion in the crucible was like rolling water, extremely clear. He said confidently: "This is Veritaserum, colorless and odorless. The user cannot tell lies, so it is the best choice for interrogating enemies and asking for information!”

Taking into account Harry's future employment tendency of becoming an Auror, when the alchemy tester generated Harry's illusion test, Lynn increased the probability that Harry would act as an Auror and complete various tasks as an Auror.

Therefore, among the members of the D.A. Army, Harry is the one who has been exposed to Veritaserum the most.

After receiving Harry's answer, Slughorn first nodded to confirm his answer, and then wiped his forehead with some shame.

Slughorn said helplessly: "Harry, the Ministry of Magic has very strict regulations on the use of Veritaserum, and it cannot be abused at will. As for interrogating enemies and extracting intelligence, those are methods only used in war. ”

Harry shrugged and sat down.

After Harry sat down, Neville stood up again.

The surprise training before the O.W.L. examination and the use of potions in the illusion test allowed Neville to successfully pass the qualification line and participate in Slughorn's potions improvement class.

Neville plucked up the courage and pointed to another cauldron. He saw the mud-like thing that he was most familiar with inside, slowly bubbling with bubbles.

Neville said: "This is the Polyjuice Potion, sir! Adding human hair to the Polyjuice Potion will allow the user to completely transform into that person within a certain period of time. This time depends on how long the Polyjuice Potion is brewed. The level of a potion master."

"Polyjuice Potion has many uses. Whether it is to obtain intelligence, steal secret keys, or disguise yourself or infiltrate enemy camps, it is an excellent choice. Sometimes, Polyjuice Potion is more useful than the Disillusionment Curse."

Neville said.

Among the illusion trials that Lin specially customized for Neville, basically one of every three illusion trials required the use of polyjuice potion.

Listening to Neville explaining the uses of Polyjuice Potion, Slughorn felt sweat dripping down his back.

"You are right, Mr. Longbottom," Slughorn said, wiping his sweat. "But in non-war times, the uses you mentioned are illegal, Mr. Longbottom."

Hearing this, Neville made the same shrug as Harry, and then sat down.

Slughorn looked at the remaining pot of love potion that no one had answered tangledly, hesitating whether to continue asking questions.

However, Hermione stood up directly.

Hermione said in a crisp voice: "This potion with the sheen of mother-of-pearl and spiraling vapor is a love potion. The love potion has many uses. It can make the person you use the love potion go crazy. , hopelessly in love with you, but in another aspect, it also has a better purpose..."

An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Slughorn's heart, which made him subconsciously raise his hand to stop Hermione from continuing.

However, Slughorn raised his hand too slowly, and Hermione had already said all the rest of the words.

"The love potion can make your enemy fall in love with you and be completely fascinated by you, and you can easily make that enemy hand over all the information he has, and you can make that enemy do anything for you, for you and him. Your colleagues turn against each other and kill your other enemies for you, or even die for you!”

"In a sense, the love potion can also be a soul-stealing curse that does not have any side effects on the wizard himself or erode the wizard's mind! It allows you to almost completely control the enemy without harming the wizard. Of course, unless you think it's hurtful for your enemy to fall in love with you."

Hermione whispered as she sat down.

You're sweating profusely now, prison!

Slughorn was covered in cold sweat. The cute and cute little wizards in front of him seemed to have become demons with snarling teeth in his eyes!

Merlin, are these little devils all Tom Riddle in the future? !

Slughorn, who was deeply shadowed by Voldemort, after hearing the three answers, just wanted to run back to his hometown immediately and retire on the spot!

He taught a Dark Lord last time. Could it be that this time, he will teach a class of Dark Lords? !

Slughorn shuddered at the thought.

He forced out a smile that was even uglier than crying, and said, "It's too much punishment. The days are getting more and more fateful!"

You shouldn't be in Gryffindor, you should be in Azkaban!

Slughorn roared in his heart, even though Azkaban was long gone.

In order to change the topic, Slughorn was quick to think. He pointed to the small black crucible on the podium. He did not ask questions, but quickly introduced: "Classmates, please see, this is the most peculiar little magic potion. It’s called the Fortune Potion! It’s also called the Lucky Potion and it can bring you good luck!”

After hearing Slughorn's words, everyone finally stopped thinking about the answers of Harry, Neville and Hermione, and instead all leaned their heads to look at the potion in the small black cauldron.

I saw the medicine in this small black crucible splashing happily, its color was like molten gold, and the jumping large drops of liquid were like goldfish leaping on the surface of the crucible, but Not a drop spilled outside.

After seeing the potion in the crucible, Harry, Ron and Hermione all subconsciously turned their attention to their daily partner, Irina.

To be more precise, it was thrown at the crystal pendant on Irina's chest.

Isn't the liquid sealed in the crystal pendant the kind of elixir in the small black crucible? !

If they remember correctly, Irina has been wearing this crystal pendant for several years, right? !

They always thought it was passed down from Irina’s family!

Noticing the gazes of the three Harrys, Irina smiled lightly and said, "That was a gift from Lin En. Perhaps, it also wishes us good luck."

On the podium, Slughorn continued to introduce the elixir to himself: "It is very complicated to brew the elixir. Once you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous. However, if it is brewed properly, it will be as good as the one in this crucible. , you’ll find that you’ll be successful no matter what you do…at least until the medicine wears off.”

"But if overdosed on Felixir, it can lead to dizziness, recklessness and dangerous hubris. You know, too much of a good thing can be harmful... Too much of a dose can be very toxic, but if you take it occasionally and cautiously Take it sparingly..."

Slughorn said in a recalling tone. (End of chapter)
