Chapter 18 Untargeted Potions Class?

Ding ding ding——

At eight o'clock the next morning, the alarm clock beside Andy's bedside rang on time. New 𝗑.𝖼𝗈𝗆

"Well…"

Andy didn't even open his eyes, he turned off the alarm clock and prepared to go back to sleep.

Ding ding ding——

The alarm clock continued to ring. Andy took the alarm clock over and took a look with half-squinted eyes.

"Huh? Can't you turn it off?"

Andy sat up from the bed in a daze, ready to take a look at what was going on.

The sound of the alarm clock suddenly stopped.

Andy looked around and realized that this was no longer the bedroom at home, but the boys' dormitory in Ravenclaw.

This alarm clock is a magic item, and its switch key is just a decoration. The alarm clock will stop ringing only when Andy gets up.

"ha--"

Andy let out a long yawn, reluctantly got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked to the bathroom to start washing up.

After spending five minutes taking care of himself, Andy returned to the dormitory and found that his three roommates were still sleeping in.

"Terry, Michael, Anthony! Get up quickly, it's already past eight o'clock, we have class at nine o'clock in the morning."

After waking up a few roommates, Andy felt that he had done his best. new

Regardless of what happened to them next, Andy put on his Hogwarts uniform, picked up his textbooks and left the dormitory.

The auditorium is on the first floor, and the Potions classroom is in the basement, so it's basically easy to get there.

Seeing that there was still plenty of time, Andy decided to get familiar with the stairs of Hogwarts first.

After all, I have to live here for the next seven years, so I can’t possibly not find my way around, right?

Walking all the way down the stairs, plus being able to ask for directions when encountering ghosts, Andy spent about ten minutes walking to the auditorium on the first floor.

Arriving at the long table in Ravenclaw, Andy found that not only had Hermione arrived early, but she had already finished breakfast and was currently flipping through the book "Magic Potions and Potions" for final review.

That's right! To other young wizards it was preview, but to Hermione it was review.

It’s really hard work!

Andy sat down next to Hermione very skillfully, picked up the pumpkin pie, took a bite, and said hello: "Morning!"

"Morning!" Hermione replied while reading a book.

"Didn't you already memorize the textbook?" Andy asked casually: "Why did you get up so early in the morning to read?"

"That's right!"

Hermione looked at Andy with a formal expression, "The first class is about to start. I think we'd better preview the textbook again."

Andy actually quite understands Hermione's learning style.

What a good student!

However, this method of learning does not work well in the magical world. new

"Okay, then come on!" Andy continued to eat.

Hermione glanced at Andy, "Aren't you going to preview?"

"I read the textbook before going to school."

After Andy swallowed the food, he said: "I am a practical person. If I don't have the skills to read textbooks, I might as well try to brew a pot of potion myself."

Hermione immediately asked curiously: "Did you succeed?"

"Roast me to death!" Andy said with a matter-of-fact expression.

After breakfast, Andy sat in a chair in a daze.

Although he had been up for a while, Andy was still very sleepy.

It was the same way at home before. After about half an hour of relaxation, Andy would be able to regain his energy.

At 8:40, Andy's three roommates came to the auditorium.

Originally they wanted to come over and sit with Andy, but after seeing Andy and Hermione sitting together, the three boys suddenly showed tacit and ambiguous smiles.

Andy waved at them, showing no intention of passing.

How can a brat be as interesting as a little lolita, right?

After another ten minutes, Hermione closed the book, stood up and said to Andy: "Class starts in ten minutes, do you still want to stay here in a daze?"

…

The Potions classroom is in the basement of the castle, which is much cooler than the main building of the castle. But now that it's September, the basement feels cooler.

Entering the classroom, Andy looked around.

The walls were dark, and bottles of glass jars were placed along the walls. The animal specimens soaked in them were horrifying.

There are copper scales and some bottles and jars of ingredients placed on the long wooden table. There are more than twenty crucibles standing between the wooden tables. There is also a stone basin in the corner, probably used for washing hands.

Andy and Hermione found a seat and sat down.

At nine o'clock sharp, Snape walked into the classroom wearing a large black cloak. He walked quickly to the podium, looked around with squinted eyes, picked up the roster and began to call the names.

"You are here to learn the precise discipline and rigorous craftsmanship of potion preparation."

Snape's voice was barely above a whisper, but everyone caught every word he said.

"Since there's no silly wand waving here, many of you won't believe this is magic."

"I don't expect you to truly appreciate the beauty of the slowly simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursting with fragrance. You won't truly understand the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, which makes people's hearts wander and their wills blur. Wonderful magic.”

"I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew honor, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that is, you must not be the stupid fools I often encounter."

After Snape's opening remarks, the classroom fell silent.

"Collins!" Snape suddenly shouted.

Andy: "?"

"If I asked you to help me find a bezoar, where would you look for it?" Snape asked.

Do you want to have sex for nothing?

"Well...if you give me a sum of gold galleons, I can go to Diagon Alley and buy one for you."

Maybe you can even take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

Andy continued to answer: "If you don't give me money, I can take it out of the goat's stomach. But the condition is that you have to find me a goat."

Snape snorted coldly from his nose and said in a sinister tone: "You don't need so much nonsense to answer the question."

“What will happen if I put in porcupine quills without turning off the heat while making a potion to treat scabies?”

Andy originally wanted to try it again, but after catching a glimpse of Snape's cold eyes, Andy replied honestly: "The concoction will dissolve the crucible, emit sour green smoke, and make a sharp hiss." Hiss. The splashed concoction is corrosive, and dense red and swollen boils will appear when it touches the body."

Snape glanced at the others, "Why don't you write down all this? This is the most common mistake you make when making potion to treat scabies!"

The classroom was suddenly reminded of the rustle of quills and parchment.

Snape said, "Today, I will teach you a simple potion to treat scabies."

Snape waved his wand as he spoke, and the specific steps for brewing a potion to treat scabies suddenly appeared on the blackboard.
