Ancient wizards return to Hogwarts

Chapter 32 Snape: That’s a foul answer.

Harry... Potter - the Boy Who Lived, a famous figure. Snape stopped in front of Harry's desk and stared at him.

Malfoy and Crabbe and Goyle, who were sitting next to him, covered their mouths and chuckled with a wink. However, Snape did not immediately attack, but continued to name names. After calling the names, he scanned the whole class with his cold, empty black eyes, forcing everyone to focus on him. The classroom was in order, and then he began his pre-class speech.

You're here to learn the precise science and craft of potion-making. Since we don't have to foolishly wave a wand, many people don't believe it's magic. I don't expect you to truly appreciate the white smoke, The beauty of the crucible is that the fragrant fragrance wafts out. Few people truly understand the fascinating and mind-blurring magical power in those liquids. I can teach you how to increase your reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death - but there must be one thing, that It’s just that you are not the stupid fools I often encounter.”

This is a master who knows magic potions. Les agreed with what Snape said from the bottom of his heart.

Potions is a precise, precise, and exquisite subject. It is impossible for someone who is careless and careless to learn this subject well.

Potions science is quite similar to Muggle chemistry. In fact, in the Middle Ages, the three disciplines of potion, chemistry, and alchemy were almost indistinguishable. They are all disciplines that mix a variety of processed materials through a series of processes to obtain a final product with specific properties.

After Snape finished his short opening remarks, the whole class fell silent.

Potter! What will I get if I add narcissus root powder to a mugwort infusion?

If I asked you to find me a piece of bezoar, where would you look for it?

“What’s the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane?”

Snape suddenly turned to Harry and asked him three questions one after another.

Faced with Professor Snape's surprise attack, Harry could not answer a single question.

Potter! Narcissus root powder and mugwort can be combined to make a very powerful sleeping pill called water of life and death. Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a cow and has a strong detoxifying effect. As for the boat-shaped Aconitum and Aconitum wolfsbane are the same plant, also collectively known as Aconitum - do you understand? Why don't you write these down? Snape's anger had a tendency to spread to all the students, and everyone in the classroom The freshmen quickly took out pen and paper and wrote down these three questions and answers.

Les couldn't help but yawned: Snape taught the class well, but it was bad to force students to take notes. Having to copy down something that has already been written down in my mind is like a punishment to myself.

Everyone was immersed in taking notes, but Les remained motionless and even yawned. Such an arrogant behavior was intolerable even if Snape had a high tolerance for students in his own college.

Snape's eyes locked on Les instantly.

Are you sleepy? Or is this terrible question and answer boring to you? Where are your parchments and quills? Snape's anger aroused by Potter's incomprehensible questions was transferred to Les, and he asked him bluntly. A series of questions.

Seeing that Les was being targeted by Snape, Malfoy raised his head suddenly, his eyes bursting with dazzling light: Dare you provoke Professor Snape? Les, you're screwed!

He put down the quill in his hand and watched the drama in the classroom with great interest.

At this time, Les took out the parchment and took notes obediently to calm the matter. However, he was not such a person. He directly stated that what was recorded in his notebook should be valuable, not bezoars are taken from the stomach of cows. A kind of stone that comes out, Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane are both Aconitum” and such nonsense.

Snape:?

Other students:! ! !

So brave! So brave! How dare he? After the little wizards heard Les's reply, this idea popped up in their minds.

Snape narrowed his eyes.

He was now beginning to wonder if he had been too gentle with the little wizards of Slytherin House before, so that a new student dared to answer his question with such rebellious remarks.

Very good, very good, Snape's tone became extremely calm, Since Mr. Lint is pursuing valuable knowledge, then I will provide you with valuable enough knowledge in the form of questions.

There were no mood swings in his tone, but people who knew him well like Malfoy knew very well that Snape in this state was extremely dangerous, and it was just the calm before the storm.

All the other students present lowered their heads, not even daring to take a breath, for fear that they would accidentally be spotted by Professor Snape.

I just said that narcissus root powder and mugwort can be mixed together to prepare life and death water. Taking a small amount of life and death water can play a sleeping and analgesic role, but taking too much of life and death water will cause the user to become drowsy. This symptom will not It disappears with the passage of time. Now I ask you, how to rescue a patient who overdosed on Life and Death Water?

Les put himself in his shoes and thought about how he would respond if he encountered this situation, and then he had the answer.

Feed it to remove the evil fruit. The essence of the water of life and death is a poison that reduces brain activity. After taking it, people will fall into a state of poisoning. The evil fruit can be used to detoxify.

Snape frowned upon hearing Rice's answer.

The correct way to deal with it is to give the patient an emetic and a stimulant. The former expels the water of life and death that has not been absorbed from the body, and the latter forces the patient's brain to become active, thus breaking the dormant state. But Rice's answer cannot be said to be wrong, because removing evil spirits can indeed cure this disease.

The only disadvantage of this plan is that the Erosion Fruit is very rare and difficult to find. Even the mainstream view in the wizarding world believes that the Erosion Fruit is extinct, and even Snape himself does not have a collection of it in his storage room.

Okay. Snape nodded, considering Les passed. He asked another question: Let's try again, Lint. If you see a person's skin turning blue for unknown reasons, his hands and feet twitching uncontrollably, and foaming at the mouth, what should you do?

After Rice said the term dispelling evil effects, Snape gave up the idea of ​​​​making things difficult for Rice. The second question he asked seemed to him to be a scoring question, and the answer was very simple. It was the bezoar he just mentioned, which has a strong detoxifying effect.

As long as your brain is a little more flexible, you can answer correctly.

Take the anti-evil fruit! Les was also very surprised. Is there any difference between these two questions? It’s all about detoxification, so why not eliminate bad effects?

Snape:…

This is a foul answer!

Why do you think modern pharmacists don’t use the all-purpose antidote, which is the antidote? Don't you want to?

Since we read Snape's three questions from a Chinese perspective, we think Harry is stupid. In fact, if we switch to English, it will be much more difficult to answer these three questions.

Where to find bezoars? Bezoar is naturally found in the stomach of cows - but in English bezoar is bezoar, which seems to have nothing to do with cows.

What is the difference between Aconitum scaphoides and Aconitum wolfsbane? In Chinese, you can see that these two are Aconitum, but in English they are monkshood and wolfsbane, which are also things that are impossible to hit at first glance.

PS: Thanks to Mr. Mingyue for the reward, thank you very much! ! !
