time at hogwarts

Perhaps it was Magos' joke last time, but Harry heard that cold voice again when he was returning from Quidditch practice one day.After searching to no avail, he told no one.

"Powerful Potion" has indeed helped Magos. Although most potions are nonsense in his opinion, some techniques can be borrowed.In particular, he read in the book that an unsophisticated herb called Dry Vine Grass can be used to dilute dragon's blood. The effect is very good. It reduces the instability factor of dragon's blood by nearly one-third. It can almost be said that it will be successful. The rate increased by almost half.Then he suddenly thought that since withered vine can dilute dragon blood, what about salamander blood that is several levels weaker than dragon blood?He tried it when he thought of it, but the increasingly boiling liquid told him that being able to dilute dragon blood did not mean it could dilute other blood containing magic.

Tonight was a memorable day for Magos, because he finally made the enhancer. The last ingredient took him too long, and the process was completely different from the book.He changed the order and quantity of several herbs, and also replaced several herbs, referring to the preparation methods of several evil potions in "Powerful Potion".

Snape could tell at a glance and looked at Magos with a sneer.

"Is this the method you came up with?"

Magos originally wanted to say yes, but then he thought, no, Snape must have read the books in the restricted area, so he immediately changed his mind.

"No, I borrowed this from a potion book."

"Potion book? It's a dark magic potion." Snape looked at him coldly, "If I remember correctly, that book should be banned. Can you tell me how you got it."

'If it were Harry, he would have been so frightened that he was speechless. ' McGoss thought secretly.

"I sneaked in to take a look. I'm sorry, Professor." He lowered his head and pretended to admit his mistake.

"That's great. You dare to sneak into the forbidden book area. Who gave you the courage?" Snape became more and more angry as he spoke. He originally hated students who broke school rules, but he had always been optimistic about Magos. Tolerate him, but he actually dares to go to the forbidden book area. The books there are beyond the reach of a second-grade wizard like him. What's the point of what he is doing now if he is obsessed by a certain book?

"Sorry, Professor, I was just too anxious. I read all the books about potions in the library, but they didn't help much, so I decided to sneak in. I saw the name of this book on the edge. It was only by some strange coincidence that I took him out to look at him."

Hearing Magos say that he was only watching from the edge, Snape's cold expression softened and said, "Ten points from Gryffindor."

"Yes, Professor." After saying that, Magos quickly handed the enhancer to Snape like a treasure.

Snape looked at the continuously churning lavender liquid, "Do you think you have discovered a new, easier method?"

"Don't dare." Magos waved his hand modestly.

"Tell me about the effect of the enhancer." Snape put the enhancer aside and asked calmly.

"Yes, enhancers generally have three effects. The most common one is as a magic potion additive, which can effectively enhance the effects of other magic potions. In addition, it can also be drank directly, which can increase magic power and strength in a short time. Finally You can also rub the magic potion on your body, sacrificing the effect of strengthening the magic power to fully strengthen the body, but that is only temporary."

"Yes, you even know the unpopular effect of wiping. It seems that you are really attentive. But," Snape picked up his notes. “Sometimes it looks old-fashioned and the laborious production steps are the most important.”

Magos was a little unconvinced, "Isn't the method I used bad? It can reduce the difficulty factor a lot."

Snape looked at him with a sneer, "Do you think you are smart? Have you discovered or learned a new method of making potions? Or do you think that potion masters in the wizarding world are idiots, and they only know how to make potions in the most rigid way? "

Magos was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the little pride in his heart was instantly shattered into powder. Is there something wrong with the enhancer he made?The testable results are exactly the same as those in the book.

Seeing that Magos was silent, Snape stopped playing riddles and said, "Potion masters are far more creative than you think. Your old-fashioned method was tried by wizards decades ago. He and you I was also ecstatic that I had found a simpler method, but the potion made in this way had terrible side effects.

If this enhancer is used as an additive, believe it or not, just a little bit will make the potion riot.If you drink it or apply it, it may be more effective than a normal enhancer, but there is a high chance that the wizard who drinks it will become violent or permanently reduce his magic power.That's why this method is recorded in the Black Potion Book. Otherwise, why do you think it is placed in the forbidden book area, just because of those weird potions?Oh, there are even weirder potions. Why aren't they placed in the forbidden book area? "Snape put down the note and picked up the enhancer made by Magos again.

"Remember, the potions you are learning now are all improved little by little by countless wizards. There may be better production steps, but they will definitely not be in those black magic books."

Magos took his enhancer. He no longer felt the joy of success, but only felt ashamed and shocked. He did not expect that this potion, which looked no different from ordinary enhancers, would have so many side effects.He understood what Snape meant. His enhancer was equivalent to a math problem. He wrote the final answer using data that did not belong to the problem. The ending was correct, but the process had completely changed.

After leaving the office, Magos was still very depressed. He originally thought it would impress Snape, but he ended up being embarrassed. Looking at the enhancement potion he brought out, Magos really wanted to throw it away, but unfortunately it happened again. Somewhat reluctant to part with it, I struggled for a while before sighing and putting it away. Maybe it will be useful in the future.

……

At the dinner table, Ron and Harry were chatting enthusiastically about Quidditch, and Hermione also read a book about Quidditch for the first time.Magos wanted to laugh.

"Hermione, Wood just wants us to give you some advice. He doesn't really expect us to become coaches."

"Of course I know, but don't you think you can only give useful advice if you understand it better?"

"Well, you're right, I think I can step aside and make way for someone else." McGoss joked as he scooped out a piece of cake with a spoon and put it into his mouth.

Hermione glared at him fiercely, "It's not you who insists on me being the assistant coach."

"Haha, those who can do more work."

At this time, a group of owls flew into the restaurant. Magos had already told his father that he didn't need to buy anything for him, so he didn't expect that he would actually receive a courier.

"What is this?" Harry looked curiously at the thin envelope sent by the owl.

"It can't be a roaring letter." Ron obviously remembered the unpleasant experience again.

Magos tore open the letter and found a well-packaged CD inside.

"Mirror?" Ron looked at his perfectly reflected face.

"CD? Your father sent it to you? What's the use of it?" Hermione also looked over curiously, not knowing why she sent this.

Magos put the CD away, trusting his father not to send him this thing for no reason.Pick up the small note under the CD box. There is only a short sentence on it.

'Magos.This is a game CD from the United States, I think you can guess what it is. '

Magos's eyes widened, right?It's a pity that computers can't be used here. This is the first time since he came to Hogwarts that he hates why there is no electricity here...

Suppressing his inner impulse, he thought about someone who might be able to give him access to a computer at Hogwarts.

"Ron, can your father magically modify the computer?"

"Computer?" Ron looked at him in surprise.

"Probably, no."

Magos didn't care about Ron's answer, and quickly wrote two letters, one to Quirrell, asking him to get some computers for Arthur to try, and the other to Arthur, asking him to first He put the matter of modifying the Walkman on hold to see if he could modify the computer. He had no other requirements, as long as the computer could be used without power.

"You don't want to use the computer at Hogwarts, do you? What on earth is in that CD that makes you want to use the computer so eagerly?" Harry was surprised by Magos's resolute behavior. What on earth is it? Make him so excited.

"Magos, are you kidding?" Hermione lowered her voice and said, "You actually want to use a computer at Hogwarts. I thought you were just joking last year."

"Relax, Hermione, the computer is just a small thing."

"A small thing? Playing with technology in a magic school? Oh my God, you are really crazy. Do you really want to introduce electronic products to the wizarding world? The Ministry of Magic will definitely not allow it."

What followed was Hermione's chattering and Harry and Ron's constant questioning, but Magos only said that they would know when the computer was available.
