This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

‘Cost-cutting Polyjuice Potion? ’

Andrew finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the normal form of Professor Snape, and became interested in the potion on the table again.

He knew this potion - a potion in the field of transfiguration, which was often mentioned in reference subjects related to human body transformation. Some books even mentioned that long-term use of Polyjuice Potion may help wizards better learn human transfiguration, but Andrew has never used it and is not sure.

"Interested in Polyjuice Potion?"

Professor Snape's gaze was sharper than Andrew thought - he just stared at it for a moment before the other party asked this question.

"There are some, Professor."

"It's not a mature recipe." Snape shook his head and looked disdainfully at the potions on the table. "In order not to use raw materials that have been inflated in price, such as tree snake skin, I tried my best to use herbs to make up for it, but lost The most important thing about Polyjuice Potion is its specific deformation effect, and its stability is too poor. Even if I try hard to modify it, I can only produce a random humanoid image. "

"Random humanoid figures?"

This word seems to be used very strangely.

"There is only a rough outline of a human being. It is difficult to show a normal human face. Multiple noses or fingers are normal. The producer obviously did not understand the basic logic of polyjuice. He simply replaced some herbs. "Professor Snape didn't have a high opinion of the new potion, "But the idea is still advisable, but other than the idea, it's like a graduate."

The basic logic of potions…

Andrew only felt as if he was among the despised people - he couldn't even do the despised replacement of potion ingredients, let alone master the basic logic of potions.

Professor Snape said that people who have not mastered this stuff are as bad as graduates, which means that the threshold for this stuff is just after graduation. He is also a third-year honors student in potions, so he won't use it for the time being. Consider this.

Set a small goal first, and it will be considered a success if you reach the graduate level before the end of fifth grade.

"Okay, let's not talk about this potion that still needs to be studied," Professor Snape shook his head, "Let's talk about the standard experimental procedures first."

‘There’s no taunting? ’

It was Professor Snape's custom to use his usual harsh words before class to make all the students on tenterhooks - but Andrew did not receive such treatment.

He was a little uncomfortable, and Professor Snape seemed a little uncomfortable too.

But the effect of the class was not bad, and Andrew did not feel annoyed by this procedure, which was more complicated than the laboratory rules.

"Article 1...

…

"Article 15: When conducting experiments, it is absolutely prohibited to use the light source provided by the wand, even for writing.

"Article 16: When in the laboratory, absolutely keep your wand within your sight, but you must maintain the necessary distance from the experimental subjects.

“…

"Article 19: When in the laboratory, it is strictly prohibited to eat, use food magic, and use experimental containers to hold or drink drinks."

“Article 20…

"Repeat twenty of the above, Tyler."

Andrew quickly repeated the above code, which was not difficult. Professor Lockhart's legacy was still in effect.

Although he has already violated a small part of it.

"Okay, let me explain the reasons and the number of known wizards who died in each project."

More detailed instructions than in class.

And Professor Snape seems to know this very well - yes, potions can be fatal when they explode, especially if they are cooked incorrectly, it is no different from exploding a pot of poison.

But after twenty rules, another twenty, and then again.

There are a total of 57 necessary rules. Andrew calculated it and found that he made about 17 mistakes.

"I'm really grateful that I can survive because I made so little noise. This has nothing to do with strength. The old professor was able to kill half of me..."

But Professor Snape didn't care about this. He just asked Andrew to recite the rules after teaching them all once, and then continued the next lecture after confirming that his memory was correct.

"I will check before every class to make sure you can recite everything before I continue teaching." He looked at Andrew and nodded, "This is much better than your performance in Potions class - that's right, You have always been clumsy and unskilled and have never had any accidents.”

No way, the energy invested in the potion was limited, and Andrew made no excuses.

"So, taking potions as an example, in this lesson we will talk about how wizards invent new potions. The most basic and most commonly used way of thinking is the inspiration method."

? ? ?

What the hell?

Those were fifty-seven detailed rules just now, right?

Andrew's eyes widened - he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

The rules just now only stipulated how to comb your hair, but you came up with an inspired method?

"Yes, it's what you imagined. Inspiration method. Trust your own feelings and judgment. When you think it's possible, it's better to give it a try instead of denying it."

Professor Snape's face remained as calm as ever.

"Talent is a wizard's greatest helper, especially potions. I wish potions became an elective course, because those stupid minds can't understand what a great art this is."

'Not every wizard has to learn to create potions. Being able to learn to cook potions stably is of great help to wizards. Even the most skilled wizards cannot do without the help of potions...'

Andrew had a different opinion, but it had to be kept for now - he was here to learn, not to argue with the professor.

"Do you know this herb?"

Professor Snape did not continue, but casually pulled out a small drawer from his wall-full of collections and placed it in front of Andrew.

"Sleepy Bean."

Andrew recognized it for a while and then remembered that thanks to the disguised remedial class of transforming herbal medicine every morning, his foundation in herbal medicine was not bad.

"What about the treatment method?"

"Slice and squeeze out the juice."

Professor Adams said - this stuff has a strong hypnotic effect and is commonly used in some sedatives.

"The standard method cannot be more standard," Professor Snape nodded, then took out a silver knife from his desk, and just squeezed it easily, and the bean directly squeezed out a bean larger than its size. Lots and lots of moisture.

This is normal. Herbal medicine refers to magical plants that can be used as medicine. This method that does not conform to physics is very magical.

"Have you ever thought about it?"

"Can I try it with a copper knife, Professor?"

Andrew stared at the remaining beans and asked.

"It's over there."

The effect is very obvious - it is still the same shriveled bean, and it only works on silver knives. Not to mention squeezing it with your hands, copper knives will not work.

"This is inspiration," Professor Snape stared at Andrew, "So, study hard and don't waste your inspiration."

…

Is there a possibility, professor.

It’s true that transfiguration is a natural talent, but for experimentation, did I really rely on compulsory education, high school, and university?
