Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Then Lu Ke took out a special funnel from the cabinet.

This is a "wash" device.

And it's the most heat-resistant kind.

Harris Green looked incredulous.

"Could it be that he..."

This device is used to mix a mixed solid and liquid, and then the liquid will flow out with impurities, leaving only the pure solid.

And it just so happens that this device is needed on the second level of Heris Green's alchemy puzzle.

In other words, since Lu Ke has chosen this tool, it means that he has completely solved all the mysteries.

Harris Green fell into confusion and self-doubt for a while.

He even began to wonder if the puzzle wasn't as great as he thought it was, and was actually nothing at all.

But Lu Ke naturally didn't know what he was thinking, and just started his alchemy experiments on his own.

Melt the silver, complete the water bath preparation, then set up the steam-absorbing components and start heating the soft white stone.

Soon the soft white stone melted into a bright red liquid, but that was not all, because the temperature of the molten silver exceeded the boiling point of the soft white stone, and soon the red liquid turned into steam.

But this is a colorless, odorless, and difficult-to-detect gas.

This is the deeper meaning of the blood under the roots of the tree: the blood becomes invisible and becomes a part of the tree.

The vapor-absorbing part connects to the other side, which is powdered cinnabar.

This is another layer of metaphor for the alchemical puzzle, because the branch with the red fruit has leaves, but the gold and silver part on the other side does not, so only the cinnabar represented by the red fruit has absorbed the vapor of the soft white stone.

In this way, a special white powder is obtained.

Lu Ke took the crucible out of the molten silver, and then carefully confirmed that it was completely cooled before taking out the white powder.

Then he mixed the lead and copper powder with the white powder.

Because it needs to be washed with water, naturally everything needs to be mixed with powder.

Then Lu Ke took out the water washing device and carefully began to wash the powder with molten silver water.

In fact, Lu Ke was a little skeptical at first, because washing with water is a method of purification, but the washed powder is originally a mixture of three different powders, which feels a bit unnecessary.

But after being washed, Lu Ke understood what he really wanted.

There was only a black powder left in the funnel, and there were blue light spots in the molten silver left behind. It was obviously a magical object.

Eventually, as the silver slowly solidifies, blue powder slowly crystallizes and appears on the surface of the silver.

Lu Ke waited until it was completely cooled before collecting the blue powder.

Then he let out a long breath.

Harris Green on the side also exclaimed: "It's amazing..."

"You have completely mastered all the basic operations of alchemy at this stage, and your understanding of equipment and raw materials is also very comprehensive and profound. You are also very talented in solving alchemical puzzles..."

Harris Green shook his head: "If this is a graduation exam for alchemy students, you will at least get full marks..."

Lu Ke didn't show any excitement. He just nodded, then cleaned and put away the equipment.

Because this is also part of alchemy.

"Where do we start learning?"

Harris Green nodded and put away all his emotions: "There is no need to learn the alchemy branch theory, your puzzle solving, the experiment collection and the basic theory anymore."

Lu Ke nodded.

This shows that Harris Green has seen that Lu Ke's current level has obviously completely mastered these three. In addition to the alchemy puzzle just now, Lu Ke also recognized the level of the alchemy class professor in front of him.

The alchemy subject was exactly what Lu Ke lacked the most, because the information was too complicated and too rough.

And Lu Ke was also most interested in this part, because it included the biological alchemy that Lu Ke had been deeply impressed by, and was a must for the villain in the bottle.

Then the course begins.

…

Umbridge stood in her office, listening to the meowing of a kitten on the plate on the wall, and smiled proudly.

Lu Ke finally fell into her trap. In this way, the biggest trouble was controlled, and whatever Umbridge wanted to do next would be much smoother.

Of course, Snape still had to please, and Dumbledore still had to cause trouble.

Now that Umbridge had a plan, she discovered that she had been looking for the wrong target all along.

If you want to say who is most likely to make a mistake, it is definitely not the monster Lu Ke, but a person who is well protected by Dumbledore: Harry Potter.

Of course, Fudge's order clearly mentioned that he must have a good relationship with Harry Potter and not offend him.

But Umbridge has now established that Harry Potter has no fondness for Fudge at all.

What's more, Umbridge now has more than just Fudge as her boss.

She also has a master, Voldemort.

Voldemort hated Harry Potter so much that Umbridge felt that this was enough for her to choose to cause trouble for Harry Potter.

As for how to do it specifically, Umbridge is still making intense plans.

…

The day to go to Hogsmeade was quickly approaching.

Harry was very happy that he could go to Hogsmeade, and he had made an appointment with Sirius Black before that they could meet there.

Harry had a lot of worries and he felt he had to talk to someone.

But it couldn't be Hermione and Ron, or Luke or Snape.

Sirius Black was the perfect man.

Together they lined up at the door to Hogsmeade, allowing Filch to check them one by one before they could pass.

Now Filch is probably the person in Hogwarts who likes Umbridge the most. He hates the students at Hogwarts and is keen to cause trouble for them, and Umbridge gives him more reasons to go. Do this.

Of course, because of Lu Ke, Filch's resentment didn't seem to be that much, but it was enough to make him persevere all day long and never relax.

Harry was a little worried about what Filch would say suddenly as he passed by, but luckily nothing happened in the end.

He and Sirius Black arranged to meet at the Hog's Head pub, because Sirius Black said it was safer there, and Harry had heard Hagrid talk about it.

But on the way there, Hermione suddenly spoke of something else.

"Harry, about asking you to teach us Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

Harry shook his head helplessly: "I guess I'm not ready yet."

In fact, when Harry met Sirius Black this time, he was going to ask him about it.
