The wizard at Hogwarts is unscientific

Chapter 18: No targeted potions class?

ding ding ding-

At eight o'clock the next morning, Andy's bedside alarm clock rang on time.

"Well…"

Andy didn't even open his eyes, he turned off the alarm clock and prepared to go back to sleep.

ding ding ding-

The alarm clock continued to ring, and Andy took the alarm clock over, half-closed his eyes and glanced at it.

"Huh? Can't you turn it off?"

Andy sat up from the bed in a daze, ready to take a look at what was going on.

The sound of the alarm clock suddenly stopped.

Andy looked around and realized that this was no longer the bedroom at home, but the boys' dormitory in Ravenclaw.

This alarm clock is a magic item, and its switch key is just a decoration, and the ringing of the alarm clock will stop only when Andy gets up.

"what--"

Andy yawned a long time, got out of bed reluctantly, walked to the bathroom in his slippers and began to wash.

After spending 5 minutes taking care of himself, Andy returned to the dormitory and found that his three roommates were still sleeping late.

"Terry, Michael, Anthony! Get up quickly, it's already past eight o'clock, and we have class at nine o'clock in the morning."

Waking up a few roommates, Andy felt he had done enough.

Regardless of what happened to them next, Andy changed into his Hogwarts uniform, picked up his textbooks, and left the dormitory.

The auditorium is on the first floor, and the Potions classroom is in the basement, so it's basically easy to get there.

Seeing that there is still enough time, Andy decided to familiarize himself with the stairs of Hogwarts first.

After all, I have to live here for the next seven years, so I can’t possibly not find my way around, right?

Going down the stairs all the way, plus you can ask for directions when you meet a ghost, it took Andy about 10 minutes to walk to the auditorium on the first floor.

When he came to Ravenclaw's long table, Andy found that not only had Hermione come early, but she had already finished her breakfast, and she was flipping through the book "Magic Potions and Potions" for the final review.

That's right!To other little wizards it was preview, but to Hermione it was review.

Really hard work!

Andy sat next to Hermione very skillfully, took a bite of the pumpkin pie, and said hello: "Good morning!"

"Morning!" Hermione replied while reading.

"Didn't you memorize your textbook?" Andy asked casually, "Why do you get up so early in the morning to read?"

"That's right!"

Hermione looked at Andy with a serious face, "The first class is about to start, I think we'd better preview the textbook again."

Andy actually quite understands Hermione's way of learning.

Three good students!

But this way of learning is not very useful in the magical world.

"Okay, then you go!" Andy continued to eat.

Hermione glanced at Andy, "Aren't you going to preview?"

"I read the textbook before going to school."

After Andy swallowed the food, he said: "I am a practical person. If I don't have the skills to read textbooks, I might as well try to brew a pot of potion myself."

Hermione immediately asked curiously, "Did you succeed?"

"My father is roasted to death!" Andy took it for granted.

After breakfast, Andy sat in a chair in a daze.

Although it had been a while since he woke up, Andy was still sleepy.

It was the same way at home before. After about half an hour of relaxation, Andy would be able to regain his energy.

At [-]:[-], Andy's three roommates came to the auditorium.

Originally they wanted to come over and sit with Andy, but after seeing Andy and Hermione sitting together, the three boys suddenly showed tacit and ambiguous smiles.

Andy waved at them, showing no intention of passing.

Brats are not as interesting as little loli, right?

After another 10 minutes, Hermione closed the book, got up and said to Andy: "There are 10 minutes left for class, do you still want to stay here in a daze?"

……

The Potions classroom is in the basement of the castle, which is much colder than the main building of the castle.But it's September now, and the basement feels cooler.

Walking into the classroom, Andy looked around.

The walls are dark, and along the walls are glass jars filled with creepy stuffed animals.

There are copper balances and some ingredients in bottles and cans on the long wooden table, and there are more than [-] crucibles standing between the wooden tables.There is also a stone basin in the corner, probably for washing hands.

Andy and Hermione found a seat and sat down.

At exactly nine o'clock, Snape entered the classroom wearing a large black cloak.He walked quickly to the podium, squinted his eyes and looked around, picked up the roster and started roll call.

"You have come here to learn the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of this potion preparation."

Snape's voice was barely above a whisper, but everyone caught his every word.

"Since there's no silly wand waving here, many of you won't believe it's magic."

"I don't expect you to really appreciate the beauty of the slow-simmering cauldron emitting white smoke and bursts of fragrance. You won't really understand the liquid that flows into people's blood vessels, the kind that makes people's hearts sway and their wills blurred. Wonderful magic."

"I can teach you how to raise your reputation, brew honor, and even prevent death—but only if you're not the dumb fools I've been dealing with so often."

After Snape's opening remarks were finished, there was a sudden silence in the classroom.

"Collins!" Snape cried suddenly.

Andy: "?"

"If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?" Snape asked.

Do you want to have sex for free?

"Well...if you give me a sum of gold galleons, I can go to Diagon Alley and buy one for you."

Maybe you can take the opportunity to snag a fortune.

Andy continued to answer: "If you don't give me money, I can take it out of the goat's stomach. But the condition is that you have to find me a goat."

Snape snorted coldly through his nose, and said in a sinister tone: "You don't need so much nonsense to answer questions."

"What would happen if I put porcupine quills in the scabies potion without turning off the heat?"

Andy originally wanted to give it a try, but after catching a glimpse of Snape's cold eyes, Andy replied honestly: "The concoction will dissolve the crucible, emit sour green smoke, and make a sharp hiss." Hiss. The splashed concoction is corrosive, and dense red and swollen boils will appear when it touches the body."

Snape glanced at the others, "Why don't you write down all this? This is the most common mistake you make when making potion to treat scabies!"

The classroom was suddenly reminded of the rustle of quills and parchment.

Snape said, "Today, I will teach you a simple potion to treat scabies."

Snape waved his wand while talking, and the specific steps for brewing the scabies potion appeared on the blackboard.
