Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 122 The Potion Master's Secret
In early February, Hogsmeade opened again.

The little wizards were not so excited this time, especially the fifth and seventh graders. The approach of OWLs and NEWTs exams calmed down their restless hearts.

It is about the future, and no one dares to relax.

Ike did not act alone this time, but accompanied Stewart and others to make a good purchase in Honeydukes.After all, the consumption of the cockroach pile is still very large. I just made a fortune a few months ago, and the goal of freeing the cockroach pile is relatively easy to achieve.

"These dementors are really annoying." Coming out of Honeydukes, looking at the black shadow hovering in the sky, Terry's tone was full of disgust.

"There's no way around it. They haven't caught Sirius until now." Ike said while chewing on the pile of cockroaches.

"It can't be said that, as Moratti and the others said, Sirius has mastered some kind of transformation magic and can turn into plants or something. Otherwise, there is no trace of it until now."

Ike was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he really wanted to say that you guessed it right, the young man can just turn into a black dog.

Ike swears he would have said it if he hadn't been overwhelmed by the thrill of the explosion.

After spending a little more time in Zuko's joke shop, Ike and others returned to the castle.

As soon as they came back, Stewart and Anthony were taken away by Roger for training. The match against Gryffindor will be next week, and the latest news is that the Firebolt will definitely be on the stage. Roger scratched his head worriedly, even a little bald up.

The good news is that Qiu was finally discharged from the hospital, but the impact is still there, and the prospects are still not optimistic.

The fact is indeed the case, there is nothing Qiu can do against Harry, the advantage of the Firebolt is too great, whether it is straight-line acceleration or the flexibility of turning and changing directions, it is not comparable to the Nimbus 2000, Gryffindor finally relied on Ha Li's performance won the game and kept hope.

Roger was disappointed after the game and was left alone on the court.

It's very similar to Wood. After Gryffindor lost to Hufflepuff last time, Wood was like this.It's just that Wood wanted to be drowned in the rain last time, but this time Roger wanted to be sunburned to death.

This may be the most confusing Quidditch ever. The four teams all scored one point in the first round of confrontation. In terms of point difference, they were Eagles, Lions, Badgers, and Snakes, but the difference was only 10-30 points. .

It is conceivable that the second round of the competition must be a bloodbath.

The ups and downs of Quidditch will not be mentioned for the time being, Zuo Zuo has little relationship with Ike, and he doesn't care about these, completely immersed in the pleasure of stroking cats.

There is also no pursuit. When most of the magic and subjects have reached the level of LV6, and alchemy, magic text and Ravenclaw manuscripts have also fallen into bottlenecks, Ike will be salty.

Until now, he has not found a specific way to upgrade to LV7, but only has a vague idea.

I still remember the string of LV7 magic that I saw when I was controlled by Comrade Lao Fu with the Imperius Curse. It can be seen that Comrade Lao Fu must have a way to upgrade.

Naturally, Dumbledore also has them, but now Ike is a bit repulsed to contact Old Deng.

This bad old man is really bad.

Up to now, Ike's goal set last summer has been basically completed, and the research on dementors has also reached a bottleneck period.After being tossed by Ike for several months, Experiment No. [-] finally failed to resist and followed in the footsteps of its predecessors.

Before there is any chance to get a new test product, it can only be put on hold temporarily. If there is a chance in the future, it may be possible to study the "Dementor Resurrection" project.

Still very interesting.

Now more often, Ike is more inclined to go to Professor Snape for advice on potions, especially those rare potions, such as the life-sustaining potion brewed by Comrade Xiao Fu last year. The mystery is roughly mastered, but I just haven't gotten started.

After all, the materials were so precious that Snape would not provide them, and with Ike's assets, he could only afford the consumption of cooking them twice.

Garen really hated it when the time came.

There are still some gains. Most of the potions in "Powerful Potion" Ike have been brewed successfully under Snape's guidance, which really made him a wave of proficiency in potions.More importantly, Ike learned Snape's ability to make potions taste more unpalatable without reducing their own effects. How horrible.

Snape's knowledge of potion materials was beyond his imagination, and some improvements could only be regarded as pediatrics. He would use the mixed reactions of several materials as the basis, and then neutralize it with another combination of materials. There are too many things to consider, and it is simply impossible to memorize them by rote.

For example, the Wolfsbane Potion he brewed for Lupin, the unsupplemented version will only make the werewolf feel a little tired and weak, and even with their physique, it can be completely ignored.But after Snape's feed, Lupine would have symptoms of a bad cold after drinking it, vomiting and diarrhea, and would be weak for a period of time even after the full moon.

This kind of operation can already be called art.

It was also during this period of contact that Ike discovered Snape's qualified side as a professor.He never refuses students' questions, and it is no exaggeration to say that any questions will be answered by him.

Of course, when you ask a stupid question, Snape will not be stingy with his vicious language, and will even break you.But if your question is very novel, you will find his extremely patient side.

The only thing to note is that don't ask the same question twice, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

At that time, troll and dung beetle are already very gentle adjectives.

Ike has a deep understanding of this...

In March, as the OWLs and NEWTs exams approached, all the professors focused on the fifth and seventh grade students, almost all of their extracurricular time was taken up, Snape's temper was also at its peak, Ike was kicked out of his office directly, but one of his notebooks was thrown over, and Ike was explicitly prohibited from coming to him to collect materials.

Now, those fifth and seventh graders need more practice.

Third grade?Where to cool off!

Ike didn't take it seriously. With Snape's potion notes, what more bike do you need?

Just think about how Harry, whose potion was rotten to a certain extent, behaved after getting Snape's school textbooks, and you can know how valuable this thing is.

Golden legend!
It can be said that Snape's thoughts and improvements on potions in the past ten years are all in this notebook, which is like a huge experience bag, allowing Ike's level of potions to be improved by leaps and bounds again.

Because of this, Ike set another goal that is in line with his current potion level:

Before the end of the semester, successfully brewed a bottle of Felix Elixir.
