The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

"This is falling into the clutches of the devil... You won't be allowed to rest for a while."

Sissy just complained in her heart, how dare she confront Snape head-on, if it really counts, her life was saved by the professor.

Would Snape be kinder to him if he could get Snape to notice her talent for potions? Sissy wanted to do that yesterday, but she didn't have a chance when the bell interrupted her.

She quickly got up and tried to sell herself to Snape: "Professor, would you like me to make a potion of forgetting, or show you a cure for boils, I did a good job!"

The first-year basic pharmacy is not challenging in terms of difficulty, but Cici feels that the quality of her own production can still impress the professor.

For now, Snape is satisfied with Sissy's performance, since she has repeatedly asked to try, he might as well give her a chance and point out the shortcomings by the way.

"Okay, let's do it in the classroom. Also, be careful not to contaminate your wound, so as not to waste my medicine."

"Don't worry, Professor, I've done it dozens of times!" Sissy happily took out the crucible and herbs from the bag, and went straight to the classroom.

There weren't many raw materials for the river of forgetfulness, and she had used up very little when she was upset last time, and something happened on Monday, and Hagrid didn't have time to bring her the new ones.

"Although there is less than one copy, the opportunity is rare, so let's use it first."

Sissy has a very strong desire to win Snape's appreciation in order to improve her living conditions.

After all, she had to stay here until she recovered from the injury. Her flesh and blood were broken like this because of the potion, and she didn't know how long it would take to heal. In this way, it is necessary to find a way to live better.

"Let's get started." Snape was not in a hurry to leave, he wanted to see Sissy's production process more than the result.

Sissy took a deep breath, and Snape stood a few feet behind her watching, stressing her even more.

She tried her best not to think about Snape's existence, picked up the River of Forgotten River water, mistletoe berries, and valerian one by one, attached the silk thread from the tip of the staff, closed her eyes and concentrated on feeling the subtle difference in the strength of the medicine.

Sissi has practiced this method more than a hundred times, and she can do it proficiently without needing to bother.

But this time was different. In order to show her best side, she spared no effort to feel carefully so as to calculate a more accurate result.

Originally Snape was waiting aside, just to point out Sissy's shortcomings afterwards, but at this moment he straightened his body, and the depths of his cold eyes showed shock for the first time.

Sissy's way of thinking while holding the medicinal materials is nothing special in the eyes of others, and she herself only used it as a substitute because she couldn't learn the Scarpin Appearance Curse for the time being.

"How could he do this? The technique is too rough, but he can discover his own potential." Snape was thoughtful.

The change in the amount of ingredients also affects the heating time. Fortunately, Sissy is very familiar with the control of the efficacy and timing of the medicine, and the actions of adding ingredients and removing from the fire are done in one go.

When the lid was opened, no white gas escaped, and all the medicinal effects were successfully locked in it.

After waiting for cooling, filter out the berry peel and stalk residue, and there seems to be a pearly white brilliance in the potion.

"Professor, look!" Sissy was excited and couldn't wait to show her results.

Snape took the bottle and only glanced at it.

He is very satisfied, but he has already known the result just by looking at the process, and he can judge the quality without careful inspection. In comparison, he still values ​​the drug effect detection method used by Sissy more.

Seeing Snape's behavior, Sissy paused in her heart, "Could it be that the professor didn't like it? It shouldn't be, this is already the highest quality, and it can sell for a lot of money in the store."

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, Sissy was expecting to hear a compliment, but...

"Go back and read carefully, and check at night."

After Snape finished speaking, he turned and walked into the storage room alone, closing the door.

Sissy stood behind the door with a dazed expression on her face. What does this mean?It can be seen from his expression that he is somewhat satisfied, why he walked away suddenly, Ravenclaw's points haven't been added yet.

Sissy could see Snape's hidden emotions, but she still couldn't figure out his temperament.

"Forget it, go read the book, if you can answer well in the spot check at night, there must be a play."

It's not long before the dressing change at [-] o'clock, and it will definitely hurt for a while after the dressing change. If you can't concentrate on reading, you must hurry up if you want to improve efficiency.

Sissy opened the rest of the book, ore-based materials, the scope of application is far less extensive than animal and plant materials, so the thickness of this book is only equivalent to the thickness of a finger.

Give it a try, it should be done soon.

Sissy read it confidently, and there were descriptions of mercury, lead, sulfur, asbestos, calcite, etc. in the book.

The accompanying conditions of the ore, the distinction of grades, and the common uses are all unknown, but the more Qian Qian looked at it, the more she felt that there was something missing.

Only the principle is missing!

That's right, whether it's herbs, mushrooms or animal medicinal materials, their respective medicinal properties can be superimposed or restrained, and they can always grasp the laws of cooperation to understand the formula.

This point is indispensable for modifying the formula according to the material conditions and making a high-quality potion. It is precisely this point that Sissy discovered to maximize the effect of the forgetting potion.

But when it comes to ores, even if they are mentioned in the book, they are all vague, making it impossible for people to understand the reason.

Even the book on the principle of collocation didn’t give a specific explanation. The addition of all ore-like materials seemed to be forced up. There was no reason at all.

"Come here to change your medicine."

Snape walked in, saw that she was reading seriously, and spoke in a much gentler tone.

"Professor, you are here." Seeing Snape, Sissy was no longer restrained at the beginning, and now all she could think about was the ore.

"Professor, why doesn't the book explain the application principle of ore as a potion material at all?" Just as she was struggling, a professional came, and Sissy seized the opportunity to ask.

"No, it's because the book you're reading now is too simple to talk about it." Snape was not surprised that she asked such a question, and replied in a flat tone.

There was light in Qian Qian's eyes when she heard that, "Then, you must know which book has mentioned it, and it must be in your collection!"

Snape frowned, stared into Sissy's eyes and said, "Don't try to get me to collect books, I will bring the books that suit you."

"I'll talk about it later. If you don't want the wound to fester and stink, come over and change your dressing." Snape glanced at the clock, then at Sissy, with the attitude that if you don't cooperate, I'll leave it alone .

In fact, there would be no consequences for changing it a few minutes later, but Snape just wanted to scare her, so that he would not have a long memory and cause trouble in the future.
