Aphasia at Hogwarts

Chapter 155 The History of Potions

After receiving Dumbledore's assurance, Guan Qiong's life became calm.

As long as he ignores the people around him holding the notebook all the time, as well as the gazes that appear from time to time, staring at him.

Fortunately, Guan Qiong has returned to her normal life rhythm now. She spends most of her time in the Room of Response, studying magic and improving her own strength. The rest of the time is spent in the library, reading about Professor Snape. Potions books recommended for him.

Then a weekly patrol of the Forbidden Forest, and now a weekly tutoring session with Professor Snape.

And the day before Dumbledore's action seems to be getting closer, Guan Qiong noticed more than once that the professors gathered together to communicate, and Ms. Pomfrey wandered around the castle many times, seeming to observe the students Case.

But she seemed to have done this before, but at that time, Guan Qiong didn't know all this, so she didn't care.

Room of Requirement.

Guan Qiong held a copy of "The Origin of Potion" in his hand, and was reading it. In front of him, there were some teacups, quill pens, parchment and other small things floating in front of him.

As time went by, his condition recovered a bit, at least the levitation spell could be cast without too much burden.

Guan Qiong waved his wand lightly, and the parchment and quill floated in front of him, and he controlled him to write notes.

Potions is a special discipline. It was born out of Herbalism, just like Transfiguration was born out of Charms. After the development of time, they began to form their own system and have a variety of rich contents.

In the most primitive time, there was no potion science. The wizards first discovered all kinds of magical herbs in this world, and discovered their effects, which can bring benefits to themselves, or bring weakness to the enemy, or can Let the magical creatures you domesticate give birth to more cubs.

Thus, there is herbalism.

But soon, the wizards discovered that some herbal medicines not only have one main effect, but also have different secondary effects, and according to each person's constitution, the effect of the herbal medicine is also unstable, and there are some beneficial herbal medicines. , for some people, it is something like poison.

In order to solve this problem, wizards began to combine all kinds of herbs and treat them in various ways, trying to find a stable combination so that they only show a desired main effect, as for other side effects , it disappears or is suppressed in the mutual matching and neutralization of herbs.

Thus, potion science was born, which is also the earliest origin of the discipline of potion.

Herbalism is the foundation of potion science, and potion science is an extension of herbal medicine in a certain direction, and it is also the farthest path.

Other paths such as herbal plant defense and attack, herbal hybridization, and herbal activation are still included in herbal medicine, and have not been able to stand alone like potion science.

Guan Qiong flipped through the "Origin of Potion" in his hand, and he already had a basic understanding of the emergence of potion science.

In the latter part of the book, some rough writing about the overall development process of potions is used to attract readers to continue exploring potions.

In the ancient academic discourse on potion, potion was called 'the art of burning', 'the blood of the gods born from the ashes', etc. This was mainly because the wizards at that time did not know much about various types of herbs. , and the processing method is also the most primitive one.

Burn them to ashes.

Then mix different ashes together, add some water or a liquid like Tianyue Spring, and it becomes a potion.

But not to mention, this method has some effects. The wizards of the ancient times used this method to create some potions, such as 'blood recovery potion', 'agility potion', etc., although these things have been eliminated now , but it has to be said that they pioneered potions.

In the subsequent history of potion research in the mid-term, compared to the most primitive method of using flames to incinerate them into ashes to extract the properties inside, there have been some mature methods.

Liquid immersion method, acid analysis method, carbon fumigation method, sunshine transpiration method, etc., have all been invented to treat different herbs, so as to amplify their main characteristics and eliminate or suppress some of their undesirable characteristics. In this way, the combination of potions can exert the desired effect.

In this era, the number of potions has greatly increased. It seems that everyone can create their own potions and become a potion master. Every wizard begins to treat the plants he can see and find in various ways. Then combine them in the way you imagined to become a new potion.

The development of potions has gone from barbarism to civilization, and it seems to have gone from civilization to barbarism.

In the one hundred years of the fastest development of potions, a total of 7,537 potions were invented and registered, and those potions that were not registered were not known to exist. How many kinds.

But in fact, nine out of ten of the more than 7,000 types of potions that have been registered have their effects not as described by their inventors, and some of them have the opposite effect.

Undoubtedly, it was the era of the fastest development of potions, and all wizards began to study potions, but also undoubtedly, it was the most chaotic era, and all the real and fake potions appeared in the wizarding society , making it even more difficult for wizards to find a bottle of potion with a stable effect.

Finally, at the end of that hundred years, the Potions Association was established. The initial members were the seven most powerful wizards at that time, and they formed members of the association to rectify and clean up the potions in the entire wizarding world.

Subsequently, a large number of unqualified potions were eliminated, and the development of potions began to move on a regular track.

To this day, those potions with stable effects have been recorded, and some commonly used ones have been compiled into teaching materials and become the content of young wizards' classes.

Potions has also officially become a professional discipline on its own, just like Transfiguration.

Guan Qiong closed "The Origin of Potion" and let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally finished watching.

He flicked his wand lightly, and "The Origin of Potion" floated up and fell onto the table. On the table in front of Guan Qiong, there were seven or eight books, each as thick as a city wall brick.

Guan Qiong looked at those books, scratched his head helplessly, swiped from top to bottom and then from bottom to top, and finally waved his magic wand lightly, letting the book in the middle float out and come to him.

"The Stories of Magical Plants in the World"

If you are tired from reading, let’s relax with something interesting.

Thinking to herself, Guan Qiong opened the "World Magical Plant Stories Collection" in front of her.
