【HP】Elvira’s Unicorn Garden

There was just a Potions class in the afternoon.

As expected, Slytherin and Gryffindor both came together.

The content of the course is to prepare sleeping potions. Following the usual practice, Professor Slughorn told the students about the prerequisites and elements of preparing sleeping potions before starting the preparation.

The process of preparing sleeping potion is divided into two steps.

In the first step, students add four parts of lavender to a mortar and then add two parts of standard ingredients and grind it into a fine powder with a pestle.

Add two drops of Flobber caterpillar slime to the crucible, then add two portions of the standard ingredients to the crucible and heat it over low heat for thirty seconds.

In the past, a student added too much Flobber caterpillar slime and caused the crucible to explode. Having learned the lesson from that time, the students also had an extremely strict attitude towards the quantity of materials.

It just depends on the right amount.

After heating at low temperature, add the ground mixed powder to the crucible, the dosage is about three parts, wave the wand, and let the potion simmer for twenty to thirty minutes.

"But there is something to note here. The same materials are ground together to grind one part of each material, instead of dividing one part of the material into three parts." Professor Slughorn pointed out the most common mistakes. , "You once had a senior who had to live in the medical wing for a week because he made such a small mistake."

"I just thought the professor was talking about dividing the material into three parts." After the professor finished speaking, a student lowered his head and his face turned slightly red. "It turns out that the same amount of material was ground into three parts."

It was obvious that before the professor pointed out this problem, he took it for granted that the ground materials were divided into three parts and added.

I even asked my friend how often it is appropriate to add the ground mixed powder, and whether it is necessary to divide the mixed powder into three equal parts.

After the above process is completed, it is the first stage of brewing the potion. The length of time for brewing the potion can depend on the type of crucible you use.

After the cooking is completed, the second step of the process is entered.

Add two portions of the standard ingredients to the crucible and heat on high for one minute.

After one minute, add four sprigs of valerian to the cauldron, stir clockwise seven times, and wave the wand to complete the potion.

A standard, qualified potion will exude a pleasant fragrance after refining, and the whole body will be a clear light purple.

As usual, Abraxas and Elvira, who were at the same table, became a potion team as expected, and this time Abraxas was responsible for grinding materials.

"Thank you, Abu." Avella said softly to the blond boy.

"No need to be polite to me, Vivian." Abraxas nodded lightly and responded to her in a warm voice.

The pair of boys and girls had an extremely tacit understanding. Just one action from the other would tell them what the other wanted or needed. They never had friction or conflicts like other groups.

Whether in class or in life.

The little girl almost didn't look at Abraxas' pocket watch or the time on the wall clock.

She just looked at the crucible that was being heated, muttered for a while, and put in three more portions of the mixed powder that had been ground by the boy, with almost no trace of rough particles visible.

Wave the wand and all that's left is the twenty minutes it takes to brew the potion.

Elvira and Abraxas were the first group of students to complete the first stage of the potion preparation, and Professor Slughorn gave Slytherin five points for this.

However, not all students are so smooth.

Even before starting, the professor has emphasized countless times the precautions for preparing the potion, as well as several areas that are most likely to make mistakes and require attention.

There are still students who inevitably make mistakes.

It was a Gryffindor group, and they heard the three portions of mixed powder as dividing one portion into three equal portions.

Fortunately, their mistake did not cause the crucible to explode. The accident occurred when the second portion of the mixed powder was added.

They need to re-clean the crucible and grind and distribute the material again.

Gryffindor was deducted five points for their misdeeds.

"Hell, the first stage of Abraxas and Elvira has been completed, and you haven't even finished grinding the last material." Orion's slightly sarcastic voice sounded.

Before starting to brew the potion, there was some unpleasantness between Orion and Letoria.

They got into a 'quarrel' because of this task assignment.

"Abraxas and Elvira have already assigned their respective responsibilities from the beginning, so there is no need to argue about it." Letoria sneered and handed over the last piece of material she had just ground. he.

Rudolf and Rolleless finished in the second group. Not surprisingly, Edgar and his partner, the lady from the Prince family, ranked in the third group.

The fourth group is a pair of Gryffindors. Their conflicts have slowed down the modulation. They are not even ranked in the sixth group.

"If some people spend the time of the quarrel on preparations from the beginning." Rollless, who was sitting behind Avella, lightly dusted his wand and sounded sarcastic.

The young man's gloomy eyes were hidden deep under his forehead. He raised his eyes slightly, but his eyes were fixed on the little girl.

He twitched the corners of his lips and lowered his gaze.

People always like to think about things they can't get, and maybe it's the same for him.

After twenty minutes of cooking is completed, two portions of the standard ingredients are added to the crucible and then cooked at high temperature for another minute.

After one minute, add four sprigs of valerian to the crucible, stir clockwise seven times, and wave the wand.

Finally, put the potion into the crystal bottle and cork it.

"Mr. Malfoy, Miss Grindelwald, I have to admit that the quality of this sleeping potion is excellent." Professor Slughorn took the bottle of potion from Abraxas's hand, and he looked immersed in it. In the fragrance of that bottle of potion.

The professor was always willing to praise the most outstanding students. He took away the potion. It was undoubtedly a perfect answer, "Slytherin plus ten points."
