Alchemy Black Technology at Hogwarts

Chapter 99

"Salamander's blood can indeed enhance the effectiveness of potions in all aspects, but the ratio of it to pomegranate juice should not be higher than 1:5, otherwise it will generate too much heat when boiling, which will affect the quality of the finished medicine.
Two-eared grass has a certain degree of poison, but the hairs under its leaves have a good effect on resisting curses."

While processing the materials, Snape would explain his ideas for each step, as well as some knowledge he had summed up by himself.

Although some of them conflicted with William's own conclusions, William carefully recorded all of them and prepared to verify them in the future.

When Snape stopped for a short break, William asked his question:
"Then suppose I want to enhance a potion to the greatest extent, how can I make it maximize its sleeping effect?"

"It depends on the formula of the potion, the person you want to sleep on, and the way to take the potion."

Snape frowned, as if he didn't expect William to ask such a strange question.

Professor Dumbledore had told him that William had made the nymphs, and that Snape had confiscated a set from a Gryffindor girl who was playing with perfume boxes in class.

"If you want to play tricks with sleeping potions, you might as well pack up and leave Hogwarts early."

He raised his tone with some disgust and said, obviously thinking of something very bad.

"I mean the kind used on magical creatures, stuffed into flesh, or mixed into liquids in large quantities.

Subjects may be very resistant and of large size. "

William hurriedly explained that he meant to feed the basilisk, and if possible, the three-headed dog Lu Wei.

The first level of the small hallway is going to drive him crazy.

"It's huge? Are you trying to poison a dragon? Slaughtering a dragon privately is prohibited by the Ministry of Magic, let alone finding a wild dragon now. You have to be very lucky."

Snape made a mocking expression.

"We still have a short time before the official start, why don't you write down the recipe?"

After hesitating for a while, Snape decided to go along with William's joke, if only to be able to laugh at his messed up potion skills.

William naturally had no reason to refuse. He took out his wand, tapped the blackboard, and displayed the formula he had researched.

"Narcissus root essence is added with distilled and purified wormwood juice, combined with valerian root essence extract, sleepy bean essence and a mixed solution of black scorpion
It is a modified formula according to the Living Hell Decoction. These are all messy materials and methods.

Recklessly! "

Snape looked at William's formula, and suddenly fell into a state of bewilderment - not only did it involve chemical means, but also the purification and processing techniques from alchemy, and the measurements were all in the metric system, not his. More familiar "spoon, handle, pinch".

But he did not dare to assert that William boiled the potion like this is a nonsense, after all, there are lessons learned from the past.

One cannot step into the same river twice.

So he didn't count last time.

"You seem to want to ensure that the dragon." Snape paused awkwardly, "that creature can fall into the deepest coma, so you've gone to great lengths to increase the efficacy of the medicine?"

"Yes."

William replied.

He wasn't sure how strong the potion would be to captivate a basilisk, let alone how much the basilisk would eat, or how long it would take to pass out, so he could only maximize the effect of the potion.

"If I were you, I would also add a small amount of belladonna and frost leaf laurel to it, and shorten the cooking time by a third."

said Snape.

"Speaking of which, Belladonna and Frost Leaf Laurel are both materials that can have a calming effect, and at the same time, they can also cause people to hallucinate, which can make the drowsy drug effect occur later.

And by using this time, the basilisk can eat more meat and take in more potions, as for shortening the cooking time."

William considered Snape's suggestion.

"Shortening the boiling time by one-third will not affect the potency of the finished medicine too much, but it will make your potion thinner, almost like water.

Adding a small amount of moonstone powder will lighten your potion's color, and boiled motra rat juice will help to mask the taste somewhat. "

Snape explained further.

Sure enough, people who play tactics are dirty.

Although he didn't know what unlucky magical creature or Hagrid William wanted Huo Huo, Snape developed this potion based on the idea that it could poison a dragon.

After confirming that William had written down the recipe, they began to officially brew the potion.

William wanted to help stir at first, but was soon pushed aside to watch because Snape thought he was in the way.

Time passed little by little.

After waiting for a long time, the potion finally turned into a purple-black mass of very viscous liquid, with large bubbles gurgling on its surface.

William had no doubts that drinking it was enough to kill any humanoid creature on the spot.

"I still need to try its specific medicinal effect."

Snape said dryly.

He is distributing the medicine in the pot into test tubes for future tests, but it has to be said that the ideas provided by William are indeed valuable.

"In a few more days, the blood man Baron's petrification can be undone first. At that time, whether it is to find the heir of Slytherin or find the secret room, we will get important clues."

He suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Good night."

William didn't argue with Snape's attitude, he packed his things and left the potions professor's office.

Having already got the idea of ​​​​improving the formula of the sleeping potion, he also needs a few days to prepare the potion.

At that time, Hermione and Harry must be able to "naturally" find clues to the basilisk, and he can also openly propose to Dumbledore a plan to keep the basilisk.

William habitually unfolded the Marauder's Map, there was still no movement in the girls' bathroom on the second floor, and the corridor on the fourth floor, but he found a small dot quietly leaving the Gryffindor tower, heading straight for the castle. The foyer ran quickly.

"Peter Pegloo, how did he come out?"

William thought a little curiously.

He had also observed Peter Pettigrew leaving the dormitory quietly before, but he was just wandering around in the castle at that time, but he had never gone directly to the hall like now.

"Did it just happen to be seen by me today, or is he actually running back and forth like this every day recently?"

Normally, William would have fallen asleep at this point, and if it wasn't for the fact that Snape's potion took too long, he naturally wouldn't have had the chance to observe Peter Pettigrew's sudden move.

"This unstable element must be stopped."

After casting a disillusionment spell on himself, William strode towards the castle's foyer, and William was confident that he would stop Peter Pettigrew before he left the castle.
