The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

This time, Sissy did not forget to inject the magic power into the medicine in bits and pieces. This is an immature and limited way of perception. An unstable connection that can be pulled and broken.

Scapin's Revelation Curse is certainly a good method. Sissy also found a guide for casting the Revelation Curse in the library, but unfortunately, after repeated attempts, it still had no effect, so she had no choice but to use this method as a substitute for the time being.

According to the requirements of the steps, when heating the diluted Wangchuan River water, it is necessary to cover the pot tightly. The gas evaporated by heating the Wangchuan River water is directly inhaled, which is harmful to the human body.

Fortunately, Sissy can perceive the state of the pot through the magic light spot. The liquid in the pot is only about 100ml. After about 45 seconds, small bubbles begin to form at the bottom of the pot.

These bubbles are formed by the vaporization of the dilution liquid of Wangchuan River water with a higher temperature at the bottom. Different from the fact that the bubbles are getting bigger and bigger when boiling, these bubbles will become smaller and smaller in the process of rising. When the vaporized part encounters the upper layer of cooler liquid liquefied again.

At this time, Sissy opened a corner of the lid, held her breath, quickly put in the valerian cut into small pieces, turned down the heat slightly, and continued to heat with the lid on.

The valerian juice slowly diffused in the solution, the liquid gradually thickened, and the medicinal properties of the Wangchuan River water gradually eased, like a grinning cat caught by the nape of fate's neck, no longer rampant He wanted to leave with the help of steam, and lay obediently in the potion and resigned himself to fate.

Sissy glanced at the timer, and when she bought the package of potion equipment, the store included this little thing as a gift, and she only discovered it this time after sorting out.

It happened that she felt that there was a problem with the time control during the last experiment, so she happily used it.She intends to accurately record the time of each step, so that it will be more convenient to improve her formula.

When she felt that the medicinal properties of valerian had been fully dissolved, about 5 minutes and 30 seconds had passed in this step.

Then you can open the lid and add the mashed mistletoe berries, and add the standard ingredients at the same time. After stirring quickly for 1 minute, cover and simmer for 2 minutes on low heat, then leave the fire for 3 minutes without opening the lid, and let the residual heat in the pot continue. Play a role.

A nearly colorless white smoke, as thin as gauze, sneaked out from the gap on the edge of the pot lid, carrying a faint fragrance.

Sissy prepared a glass bottle with a suitable capacity, and took the time to open the lid. She felt that this time it would be a success.

As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma in the pot wafted out, and at first smell, there was an ethereal feeling of emptying the mind.

Sissy took a breath and felt the wonderful feeling, it's so good to be misty like smoke... No, she immediately realized that the alarm bells were ringing in her mind, she quickly covered her nose and held her breath, and quickly put the medicine into the glass bottle.

It hasn't been completely cooled and filtered yet, but let's install it first. The smell is not as strong as the pink smoke made before, but the power of Wangchuan River water contained in it is fully revealed.

Sissy opened the bottle cap from time to time to let it breathe. She knew that this kind of bottle with excellent sealing effect must be difficult to open after the hot air in it gradually cools down.

At the same time, she carefully looked at the potion she had just made, and probed it with the help of her wand. She felt that the potion made this time should only be of an ordinary quality in the mid-range.

This was her second time making the Forgetting Potion. The first failure was because she was dazzled by the perfection of the Boil Potion, and mistakenly thought that perfect potions were really so easy to make.

And the explosion smoke that made Professor McGonagall rush from the tower to check it also made Sissy's impetuous heart calm down again, and she looked at her mistakes and actively corrected them.

Even if there is no habit of "rolling" with her roommates, Sissy will consciously learn about potions.But she also admitted that working alone lacks competition, and with the company of those three partners, the learning efficiency has indeed improved a lot, and the speed of reading books has obviously exceeded her own expected plan.

The result of this production was not bad. To be able to make a mid-range quality forgetting potion so quickly, even if Snape saw it, he would reveal a trace of satisfaction that others could not detect.

But Sissy is still not satisfied. She has read many books this week, and has a deeper and broader understanding of potions. Besides, she has deduced the experiment process in her mind many times. It is not surprising to have such results.

In the future, the difficulty of making potions will become more and more difficult. If she stops here and is satisfied with making an elementary potion to a mid-range quality, she is doomed to only get good grades in class. This is not because she came to Hoag The purpose of Woz study.

"No, I have to make all the primary potions into high-grade... No, it should be perfect." Sissy muttered to herself, looking at the potions in the glass bottle, her eyes seemed unwilling.

She took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit was ignited again in her heart.

It is meaningless to adjust the formula without any purpose. Even for simple potions, in addition to the usage amount and processing method of each raw material, the heating time, fire control, and timing of adding medicine need to be considered in many aspects.

Sissy sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the potion she had just made in her hand and thinking.

Looking at its color, the light green formed after the valerian is blended seems to have a hint of yellow, and Sissy intuitively feels that this yellow is one of the reasons that affects the final efficacy of the medicine.

"Could it be that it's been cooked for a long time?" She stared intently at the liquid medicine, carefully recalling every step of the experiment just now.

She is very sure that she opened the cap and proceeded to the next step when she felt the medicinal properties of valerian fully dissolved.

There is also a lot of heating time in the next step. The valerian that has fully released the essence is continuously heated, which forms the yellow gas that reduces the quality.

Let’s shorten the time, and let’s just make some adjustments, so that the medicinal properties of valerian can be gradually released in the next steps.

Sissy tried again after she figured it out, but when she opened the lid of the pot ahead of time to prepare for the remaining steps, the white gas in the pot rushed out.

"No, I was careless." Qianqian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and when she realized that something was wrong, she didn't care about the hot pot lid, so she quickly covered it back to restrain the white air from escaping.

At this moment, there was no chance for her to think slowly. She quickly organized her thoughts in her mind, and Wangchuan River, valerian, and mistletoe berries came to mind one by one.

At first glance, there was no problem, but Sissy quickly found the root cause. It was the effect of valerian that allowed the unstable medicinal properties of the Wangchuan River to be restrained and stay in the medicine obediently.

When the efficacy of valerian is not fully exerted, the lid must not be opened, otherwise white gas will not only reduce the efficacy of the finished product, but also be harmful to the human body.

If you can't get through one way, you can go another way. People are alive, so there is no need to hang from a tree.

Sissy waited patiently, and did not open the lid in advance, but chose to use long tweezers to quickly pinch the herb out when the valerian was fully effective.

The tweezers made of stainless steel have a slender tip, which can easily hold objects firmly. After special heat treatment, they have good hardness and are not easy to deform.

Originally, first-year students didn't need to buy this kind of equipment, but Sissy saw it very familiar at the time, and it was somewhat similar to what she used in the laboratory, so she bought it regardless of whether it was useful or not.

She secretly thanked herself for having a hobby of hoarding things, and when she wanted to use them, she would always have something at hand, so it was safe enough.

The remaining steps have not been changed. The quality of this production has improved. The light green liquid is transparent in color, without any yellow gas, and the white gas that escapes is also reduced a little. The opening of the cover in the middle was affected a bit.

"It's still mid-range, but it looks like it's only one step away from high-end." Sissy looked back and forth at the result of her third production, and her hard work was not in vain. If there was no action of opening the cover, what she produced this time was completely improved. a notch.

There is still a distance from the perfect request in her heart. In fact, if this speed of progress is in the class, it is enough to make those unconvinced guys itch their teeth with hatred.
