Chapter 411: Wolfsbane Potion
Chapter 411 Wolfsbane Potion
Vampires are part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in third grade, and Kyle also learned it last year.
Although Lockhart is very unreliable, at least the content in his book is not false.
In addition to the unreplicable weapons of mass destruction such as "Lockhart's Smile", there are also many serious ways to deal with those dark creatures.
“Garlic gives off a smell that vampires hate most, like the smell of compost in a greenhouse.”
On the way to the library, Kyle told Neville, "You can hang it around your neck or put its juice on your body.
"Of course it's okay to eat. If you eat enough and become like Quirrell, smelling of garlic wherever you go, then even if you offer your neck to the vampires, they won't even look at it. ."
"I see..." Neville said suddenly, "I remembered that Professor Lupin seemed to have said the same thing."
"But this only applies to general situations." Kyle continued: "If you encounter a vampire who has been hungry for a long time, or has some unique tastes, it will be useless even if you turn yourself into garlic."
…
Neville nodded repeatedly, and with Kyle's help, he quickly finished his Defense Against the Dark Arts homework.
He raised his head, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly whispered: "Thank you..."
“What?” Kyle was working on his divination class homework and didn’t hear clearly.
"I mean, thank you..." Neville said again, "It's been a long time since I lost my password and no one wanted to talk to me.
“Apart from Hermione, 伱 is the second one.”
"That's because you didn't find the right way." Kyle looked up, "If you said to Fred and George..."Your pranks are meaningless," they could pester you all day long, or more. Long.
Or you could go to Harry and tell him that you saw a beautiful girl in Ravenclaw, and he would be happy to talk to you about the subject for a few hours. "
“Huh?” Neville blinked. "Is it that simple? But I think Harry doesn't seem to like staying with me. He has been looking for various reasons to separate from me just now."
"Maybe he just has other things to do." Kyle put down his quill and put away the completed homework.
Looking at the time, there was less than ten minutes left before the hour requested by Snape.
“Just in time.”
Kyle stood up and explained under Neville's doubtful eyes: "In the second half of the confinement, go to the underground classroom.
Want to go together? You happen to be fine too, I think Professor Snape won't mind if I bring someone over. "
"No, no." Neville shook his head rapidly and grabbed the quill in a hurry, almost knocking over the ink bottle.
“I, I still have a lot of homework to do, go ahead.”
"That's a shame." Kyle didn't say anything else, packed up his things and walked out of the library.
Sitting on his seat, Neville wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the library, Kyle walked through the foyer and all the way to the underground classroom.
Due to the Hogsmeade visit day, most students are not at school. Even the originally bustling foyer is empty at this time, especially in the underground classroom.
Along the way, Kyle could only hear his own footsteps.
He is going to the third classroom this time, which is in the middle of the corridor.
By the time Kyle opened the door, Snape had already arrived. He looked at Kyle expressionlessly, "Why are you here so late?"
“It’s two minutes to an hour, Professor,” Kyle said.
"Thank you for the reminder, but I think I'll watch the time," said Snape.
"I'm sorry, Professor, I wanted to come earlier." Kyle continued, "But I'm worried that coming too early will disturb you..."
“You are so thoughtful.” Snape drawled, “Should I still want to thank you?”
"No, it's all right." Kyle turned his head, "Of course, if the professor insists on giving me a pint of Felixir as a thank you, I won't be embarrassed to refuse."
Elixir of Fortune?
Pint?
The corners of Snape's eyes twitched. He had never heard of anyone selling Felixir in pints... What did he think Felixir was, pumpkin juice?
"It seems that I have to ask Madam Pomfrey to check your brain." Snape pointed, "But that will happen later. Now go clean the cauldron and bring it over."
Following the direction of Snape's finger, Kyle saw a cauldron that was larger than the normal size and contained some pungent brown potion.
“Clean up.” Kyle took out his wand.
The potion inside was cleared away, and the crucible immediately became clean.
Kyle turned around. He originally thought that Snape would not agree to do this and had to wipe it with his hands... But to his surprise, Snape didn't say anything.
“What are you doing here, bring the crucible quickly.”
"okay."
It's good to save trouble. Kyle picked up the cauldron and placed it in front of Snape.
“Professor, can I go?”
"Of course... no!" Snape sneered: "You don't think I asked you to come just to clean the cauldron, do you? My confinement will not be so easy."
He took out his wand and pointed a pile of potion ingredients on the table in front of Kyle.
“Take care of these things, I will use them later.”
A sneer appeared at the corner of Snape's mouth, and he looked at Kyle with a sinister look, "Remember it well, I will only say it once... If you did anything wrong and did not handle these things as required, I will not remind you again. .
But then, you may have one less professor in the future. "
"listen…
Grind the lion fish bones into fine powder, slice the **** root, three drops of armadillo bile, three drops of mandrake juice, only the top part of the wolfsbane leaves, and there must be no damage..."
Snape spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that Kyle would remember it.
Fortunately, Kyle had a good memory and remembered everything he said.
He then dealt with the materials without saying a word.
When he was grinding the lion fish bones into fine powder and preparing to cut the **** roots, Snape spoke again.
“Now, put the lionfish bone meal into the crucible…”
Kyle nodded and poured all the powder in a saucer into it.
Soon, the potion in the crucible turned a nice orange color.
“Professor, can I ask what kind of potion this is?”
"Oh?" Snape raised his eyebrows, "Our Mr. Perfect, can't you see what this is?"
“At least it’s certainly not what we learn,” Kyle said. “Not until seventh grade…”
“So in your opinion, things that are not in the textbooks are not important, right?” Snape sneered:
"If you can read more books about potions, you will know that the potion made from lion fish bone meal, **** root and armadillo bile can keep people's minds clear, and mandrake juice and wolfsbane are also used. Can suppress the effects of dangerous deformation...
“Having heard this, don’t you still understand?”
Kyle thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Wolfsbane potion?"
It is the only thing that keeps people awake and is related to dangerous deformation.
“Not stupid enough,” Snape said meaningfully.
