The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 61 Potion for Scabies

Potions class continued, and Snape was instructing everyone to concoct a potion that could cure scabies.After explaining how to prepare the scabies potion, he divided the class into two groups and asked everyone to prepare the scabies potion.

Albert and Li Jordan were naturally assigned to a group, who made them the same table.

"Let's read the steps several times first, and then start to prepare the scabies potion to avoid mistakes in the preparation steps." Albert reminded, "As long as the steps are correct, the finished product will not be too different from the book."

The most fearful thing about boiling pharmaceuticals is to add herbs and stir randomly.

Albert opened the "Magic Potion and Potion", memorizing the configuration of the potion for treating scabies, completely ignoring Snape who was dragging his black cloak behind him.

After Snape walked away, Albert took the medicine he needed from his medicine chest: a few venomous snake teeth, a Pongo onion, some bundled dried nettles, a jar of horned slugs, a few A porcupine thorn.

"You're in charge of cooking the horned slugs, and this thing takes at least 33 to 45 minutes." Albert handed Lee Jordan his tweezers.

"Okay, leave it to me." Li Jordan had no objection. He took the tweezers that Albert handed over, and took out the disgusting horned slug from the jar.

Having said that, it costs 1 Galleon to sell a can at the drugstore.

"Remember to clean it first. You don't need to put a lot of water in the crucible. Be careful to boil and overflow." Albert added.

He then began to grind the serpent's fangs with a mortar, and the book called for it to be ground into a fine powder, a laborious job.

Compared to Albert's hands-on ability, other students are a bit scumbags.

Of course, this may have something to do with Albert raising his potion manufacturing to level 1.

Snape was still wandering around the classroom, watching the students weigh dried nettles and grind serpent teeth. Almost all the students were criticized, except for Albert and George.

After all, Snape couldn't find anything to criticize, except that they were a little slower than the others.

"Next, weigh the dried nettles." Albert reminded in a low voice, looking at Snape's receding back, "Pay attention to the weight, don't weigh it wrong."

"Ok." Li Jordan was in a good mood, and Snape didn't come to trouble them.

Albert laboriously sliced ​​the Pungo onion into thin slices.

Half an hour later, Li Jordan reminded: "The horned slug is boiled."

Albert immediately leaned over and stabbed the slug with the glass tube. After confirming that it was completely boiled, he emptied the water in the crucible, leaving behind the boiled slug.

After the materials are ready, the only thing left is to prepare the potion for scabies.

First add the Vipertooth powder into the crucible, stir it slowly to thoroughly mix it with the water, and the medicine in the crucible will gradually turn dark blue.

"Is it dark blue?" Li Jordan leaned his head over to see the color of the potion in the cauldron.

"It's dark blue." Albert Lily put the thinly sliced ​​Pongo onion into the crucible, and continued to heat it for about ten seconds. As recorded in the book, the potion gradually changed from dark blue to red.

When the color doesn't change, the next step is to slowly sprinkle in the dried nettle and stir the potion until the color turns pink.

"Continue to add a small spoon of Frober caterpillar mucus, then continue and stir, and the medicine inside turns green." Albert murmured the steps while operating. "Next is adding a tablespoon of stewed slugs and stirring until the potion turns blue-green."

After completing the previous step, Albert lifted the cauldron from the fire.

If you don't remove it from the fire, adding the porcupine thorn directly will cause the potion to fail directly, and Snape also specially reminded everyone.

Albert took the two porcupine thorns that Li Jordan handed over, slowly put them into the crucible, and then began to stir clockwise three times, making the original blue-green potion gradually turn blue.

Finally, wave your wand over the cauldron to finish the potion
"Did it work?" Li Jordan asked nervously.

"What do you think?" Albert wanted to pick up a spoon, put it in the crystal bottle, and hand it to Li Jordan next to him, so that he could see the color of the potion clearly.

"Success." Li Jordan excitedly looked at the scabies potion in the potion bottle. The color of the potion was basically the same as the description in "Magic Potions and Potions".

"Yeah, it's not easy." Albert put out the fire.Still, he was a little sceptical about the efficacy of the scabies potion.

When he was bottling the potion and writing his name, Albert suddenly smelled a disgusting smell, turned his head and saw that Fred and George's cauldron was bubbling, the potion in the cauldron was bubbling. A very disgusting brown.

"Wait, take the cauldron off the fire before adding the porcupine thorns." Albert stopped George's death decision that might burn through the cauldron.

Still, that didn't save their scabies potion.

"Weasley, tell me, what are you guys?" Snape walked up behind the twins with a blank expression.

"Potion for scabies," George whispered.

Snape asked nonchalantly, "What color is the scabies potion in the book when it's finished."

"blue."

"I dare say, drink this pot of your potion, and you will poison yourself before the scabies are cured." Snape waved his wand and swept the potion out of the pot.

"Anderson, where's your potion?"

"Here, sir." Li Jordan hurriedly handed over the blue scabies potion, and smugly shook his index finger towards the twins where Snape was not paying attention.

"Badly passed," Snape said as he picked up the glass bottle and glanced at the scabies potion inside.

"What is barely passing?"

After the get out of class, Li Jordan said angrily to the twins, "What is this, in fact, the potions prepared by people for treating scabies are not up to standard? And...why do we have to write an article after we have successfully prepared potions for treating scabies 2 A long essay."

"Be quiet, if you're trying to get yourself into trouble," Fred said, pointing to Snape as he approached.

"Cough cough." Albert cleared his throat and said to Li Jordan, "Perhaps, Professor Snape thinks we are talented in potions and wants to nurture us well."

Albert deliberately suppressed his voice so that Snape could hear it.

"Look, no one else is treated this way, is it?"

"I hope your paper on the scabies potion doesn't disappoint me, Mr. Anderson," Snape said, turning his head to look at Lee Jordan. "As for you, the paper doesn't need to be written."

"What does he mean?" Lee Jordan murmured, looking at Snape's retreating back.

"What do you mean? Of course you don't deserve special attention." Fred finally couldn't help laughing after Snape left, he raised his hand and patted Albert on the shoulder and said, "It seems that Snape Professor Pu really intends to give you special care, maybe he wants to invite you to join the Potions Club!"

"Then I can only refuse. After all, I have already joined the Transfiguration Club." Albert said solemnly.

The next moment, the three of them laughed even louder.

Of course they could guess that Snape was unhappy with Albert, but there was no good way to take him, so they could only resort to this and give Albert the so-called special care.

After all, students, not many like to do homework, especially extra homework.
