International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 9 Potions from Scratch

"You...you can't even cleanse and heal...ah, it's normal, it's normal, if you know these spells, there will be problems." Snape's face gradually turned livid, but the anger in his heart was restrained. I couldn't help venting out: "Dumbledore took me as a nanny?"What can this little kid do for me! '

Before Dumbledore just told him that he would send a boy named Lu Ren to help him with some chores. Snape thought that this boy would have some basic knowledge, but Dumbledore actually dared to send a boy with no basic knowledge. kids come here!
"Professor, although I don't know how to use magic spells, I have passed all kinds of operations in my laboratory." Lu Ren carefully explained from the side.

Now Lu Ren, like a freshman with a mismatched resume and practical ability, is searching for his own advantages and trying to convince the interviewer.

Obviously, the 'interviewer' in front of him is not satisfied with himself!However, Lu Ren was still confident, because there was a high probability that the helpers Snape needed would not need to use magic.

Snape himself is one of the top potions masters in the British magic world. Ordinary magic apprentices are of little use to him. It's like a junior high school student working as an experimental assistant for an academician. What can he do?The only place where he is needed should be those repetitive manual labor.

Snape's expression eased a little. Over the years, he was used to the little wizards trembling in front of him like shaved quails, and he was also used to the whispering behind him, and all the students talking to him. With a respectful attitude, if he read correctly, this empty-headed little devil in front of him seems to want to be his assistant?
"Interesting remarks, Potions class is not about cooking—although I also doubt that you can cook, where do you come from with the confidence to say that you have passed the test. But since you have come here, I would like to give you a Chances. Have you seen "A Thousand Miraculous Herbs and Fungi?"

"I've seen it, Professor."

"Not hopeless. So I ask you, what do I get if I add daffodil root powder to a wormwood infusion?"

"Water of life and death, Professor."

"Oh? If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"

"In the goat's stomach, coprolites are stones that are taken out of the goat's stomach and have a strong detoxifying effect."

"Yes, your knowledge can barely cope with the next experiment." Snape's face became more relaxed, the brat in front of him still had a certain talent - at least he previewed the basic knowledge of Potions class.But there are too many giants in theory and dwarfs in practice. Whether this little guy can stay or not depends on his next practical performance.

"What you have to do today is to juice these sleepy beans, it's very simple, try it." Snape took out a pot of sleepy beans from under the podium, which seemed to weigh several kilograms. "If you're going to injure yourself by doing this, I suggest you get out of here. Cleaning the bathroom might be more appropriate for you."

"Okay, professor, which container should the squeezed juice be put into?" Lu Ren was glad that he passed the question-and-answer session, while trying to get more information.

Snape took out three huge round bottom flasks, "You can fill these three bottles today." At the same time, he observed Lu Ren's expression,

'There is no better way to test than sleepy beans. Through this simple operation, you can easily judge the operation level and temperament of a little wizard-after all, sleepy beans are a dry bean, who would have thought that there are actually many What about the juice?There are three full bottles, most young wizards will feel impatient, right? '

But he didn't see the look of impatience on the little boy's face.

'The attitude is okay. ' thought Snape.

Lu Ren knew it. After all, sleepy beans are so famous. Who doesn't know that these beans should be squeezed with the side of a silver knife?Without saying much, he picked up the short silver knife on the operating table and began to squeeze the juice.

Sure enough, the beans immediately leaked a lot of juice, and Lu Ren couldn't believe that there was so much water in that shriveled bean.He hastened to collect the juice into a flask.

Snape raised his eyebrows: It looks like the kid in front of him hasn't read "Advanced Potion Making", but if a freshman who has not yet entered school has previewed the textbooks used in the sixth grade, it is too magical up.

It is precisely because people have not read textbooks that they use squeezing to extract juice—this is human instinct and valuable spirituality.

'It's just a pity, I don't know if he has the courage to break the rules?Do you have the courage to go against the textbook?None of this is known. ' thought Snape in his mind.But he forgot that he just emphasized that the operation must be strictly followed the steps of the guide, and no innovation is allowed.

It can only be said that human instinct is a double standard.Previously, Snape's request to Lu Ren was only to complete the operation according to the steps, but now he hoped that he would have a more eye-catching operation.

Soon, Lu Ren filled the three flasks.Sleepy Bean has more juice than he thought.

'Talent is acceptable. This was Snape's evaluation of Lu Ren in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface, and just said lightly, "Okay. Let's continue to prepare the potion."

There is no doubt that Severus Snape is definitely a middle-aged and arrogant person. If he changes his sex after dyeing his hair, he will definitely fit the image of a defeated dog in anime dramas.

There is a very good detail in the third movie. Facing the attack of the "monster", Snape immediately protected the trio behind him. The strange mentality of not caring, coupled with the titles of "Shen Feng Wu Ying" and "Half-Blood Prince" when he was young, can be used as evidence.

Lu Ren clearly noticed this.So he decided to brush up the favorability of the Persian religion first - as a time traveler, he can't hold back this big family!
"100 milliliters of pure water, 13 drops of night vanilla juice, 7 pieces of golden mint leaves..." Snape didn't know that his image had been exposed, and he began to prepare the potion.Lu Ren prepared the materials according to the instructions.

"9 grams of dragon blood grass powder."

……

"Lava octopus blood, 10ml"

……

"50 star crystals."

Time passed quickly, and Lu Ren quickly completed the task given by Snape.Before I knew it, it was already noon.Although the various equipment is slightly different from the laboratory in the previous life, Lu Ren still quickly adapted to all of them.

With Snape's wand waving, there was a sizzle sound, and an illusory mist appeared instantly, making the classroom foggy.

"The potion has been prepared, you can go. Your task for today is complete." Snape looked at Lu Ren, and then drove him out of the classroom.

'What a talented little guy. ’ Snape sighed, ‘The operation and attitude are excellent.This kid is okay. '

　Hey hey, let's see if anyone can get my meme, the book is so deserted, everyone is talking, if you like it, don't forget to vote for it!
