Chapter 478 Is Kevin's Success Surprising?

Slughorn frowned when he saw Kevin turn the flames down, which would no doubt increase the cooking time.

Slughorn wanted to remind him, but he gave up after thinking about it carefully.He likes Kevin, but he can't give up fairness because of this.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation. Kevin actually put the material in ahead of time.

Slughorn froze slightly, curious in his heart.

Kevin's previous series of operations were perfect, even like an experienced potions professor.But why do you make such a low-level mistake now, and put in the ingredients before the soup is cooked.

Driven by curiosity, Slughorn pretended to be a teacher touring the examination room, walked to Kevin's side, and glanced into his cauldron.

Seeing this, Slughorn was stunned, and the light blue soup kept rolling, and Kevin succeeded!

This is simply unbelievable!

In Slughorn's view, it is absolutely impossible for this step of the Living Hell Potion to be completed so quickly, even if he is brewing it, he will wait for a while.

After all, Slughorn was an "old driver" in Potions, a figure at the master level, and soon he discovered the "secret" of Kevin's success.

"Turn down the heat! The low temperature makes the Sleepy Bean's medicinal effect work faster! Hiss! There is another method, why didn't I think of it?"

Kevin's seemingly insignificant change made him understand one thing. Kevin's attainment in Potions may not be comparable to that of the students in this classroom, and even no student in the entire Hogwarts can match it. Well done Harry.

At this moment, Kevin once again made a behavior beyond his expectations.

At Kevin's step, the Potion of Living Hell is 90% successful, and the rest is stirring.

It needs to be stirred counterclockwise for seven times. In this step, the order must be strictly followed, and the stirring speed must be stable. Fast or slow will lead to greatly reduced efficacy.

But after Kevin stirred counterclockwise seven times, he stirred clockwise again.

"Merlin's beard!"

Slughorn almost didn't shout out, Kevin's doing so would be tantamount to wasting all previous efforts, and even the poor stirring rod would be dissolved and twisted.

But what he imagined did not happen, the stirring rod was unharmed, and the most important thing was that the potion in the crucible had turned into a clear black liquid.

"finished?!"

Slughorn's eyes on Kevin changed. If Kevin's series of operations just now can be attributed to his talent, then completing the Living Hell Potion so quickly is beyond Slughorn's understanding. category.

Because after stirring, it must wait for a period of time before the potion can be completed, but Kevin didn't have to wait at all, he just finished it! ?

At this moment, Kevin looked at the Live Hell Potion in the pot and nodded in satisfaction, and began to clear the table, which was also a good habit that Snape forced him to form.

Slughorn looked at Kevin in disbelief, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Because Potions is a very rigid subject, unlike other subjects, talent can often make a student far surpass ordinary people at the beginning stage.

Although potion science also requires talent, whether you are a genius or an ordinary student, if you want to truly master the refining method of potions, you can only go through repeated brewing, repeated failures and repeated successes.

There is no shortcut at all, only a rigid step by step.

Slughorn was sure that Kevin's Potion of Living Hell must have added his own changes, changes that he didn't even know about, otherwise it wouldn't be so successful.That is to say, the sixth grade student in front of him has practiced boiling hell potion more than once, only in this way can he behave so calmly.

If Kevin heard this sentence at this time, he would definitely sneer.

"More than once!? Who do you look down on? The materials I have wasted over the years are enough to open a store!"

There is a material shop in Hogwarts, which is the only place where Hogwarts needs money to buy things.

Students can buy all kinds of materials here. Of course, the materials sold are all required for teaching, and there will be no "violating regulations and exceeding the syllabus" materials.

Because potions need to be brewed frequently, Kevin will often buy them here.Moreover, the quantity of purchases was so large and the frequency was so frequent that the eyes of the boss in the store changed when he looked at Kevin, almost treating him as the God of Wealth.

Here, Kevin finished packing and sat on a chair leisurely drinking the black tea that Luna prepared for him, watching the miserable appearance of other students by the way.

You know, there was no such treatment in Snape's class.

The other students were in an unspeakable embarrassment. Many of them couldn't even make the potion, and a green "slime" came out.

One of the Gryffindor double kings, the "Demolition King" Simon, still did not disappoint this time, and once again caused an explosion.

Even Hermione, the know-it-all lady, looked anxiously at the lavender soup in the pot.

Not to mention Ron, what he refines can no longer be called "water", it is more appropriate to call it asphalt.

"Ok?"

Kevin noticed something was wrong.

"How's Harry?"

It's not that Harry did it "miserably". On the contrary, the fact is that Harry's brewing process was very smooth, and it was abnormally smooth.

He didn't have the flustered look of the others at all, he looked very calm, and he didn't even take off his robe.

Kevin expressed his surprise at this, knowing that Harry was not like this before.He can make simple potions in a mess, not to mention the more difficult Living Hell Potion?

As mentioned earlier, potion science is very "rigid" and requires constant exploration.

Among these, apart from the "bug" Kevin, the one with the most experience is Hermione.

She has already mastered the brewing of compound decoction, but looking at her current appearance, her fluffy hair has become a mess, her robe has been taken off, and her face is covered with sweat.

Look at Harry again, it's so easy!

Kevin watched Harry's actions with doubts, and soon he was sure of one thing.

Harry definitely has problems, and the way he handles some of them is simply not what he should be at his level.

Soon, the time has come.

"Stop stirring!"

Most people are full of helplessness and unwillingness.Obviously, they all knew that they had no chance with Felicia.

Everyone put the boiled "things" on the table and waited for Slughorn's "review".

Slughorn came according to the procedure and checked everyone's results one by one.

But they are all swept away, because the things these students cook, let alone the living hell soup, many of them are not even "soup".

Ron's asphalt, Ernie McMillan's blue tofu, Padma's green slime, not to mention Simon, if he can come up with a complete cauldron, it is already a success.

It wasn't until Hermione that Slughorn showed a smile. Although Hermione's refining process was very difficult, it was finally a success.

Slughorn praised Harry even more when he saw Harry's achievements.

"Brilliant, Harry! Obviously, you inherited Lily's talent, and your mother was so ingenious in Potions."

But what Slughorn really wants to see is Kevin's Potion of Living Hell.

When he came to Kevin, Slughorn didn't comment on anything, but he could tell that it was a pot of perfect impeccable living hell soup just by smelling it.

"Tell me, Kevin! How on earth did you do it?"

Kevin asked puzzled: "What does this mean? Professor."

Slughorn said: "Your performance can no longer be said to be unexpected. In my opinion, it is unbelievable. Why would you think of stirring clockwise for a week, and you can skip the waiting process and directly complete the soup."

The people in the classroom were not very surprised by Slughorn's words.

This is Kevin Ally, and it's only normal for him to be successful.

In Potions, he copied more extracurricular homework than these people put together in five years, and almost all the materials of the small shop were covered by him.

It is inconceivable that such a person is not successful.

Kevin heard the words and suddenly realized, and said: "I think you misunderstood, professor! I only used 13 sleepy bean juice. The reduction in proficiency also reduces the time. As for clockwise stirring, it only further catalyzes this process, so Looks like it's straight through."

Slughorn expressed disbelief that the approach hadn't even occurred to him.

"The undisputed winner!" Slughorn announced excitedly: "The perfect potion, a genius idea! I declare that this bottle of Felicia belongs to Kevin!"

At the same time, Slughorn made up his mind that even if he was tied, he had to take Kevin into his family!
