Chapter 456 Is Quietly Changing Everything
"Who~ can tell me..." Professor Snape hurriedly opened the door and walked in, waving his wand to draw half the curtains of the Potions classroom, stood by the podium and turned to look at everyone, "Billy What should I do after a Wiggle bug stings me?"
quiet~
There is silence in the classroom~
Almost all the little wizards were still immersed in the long two-week holiday of Easter, and they couldn't turn their heads at all at this time.
Professor Snape looked around, and finally looked at the seat on the Gryffindor side, "Ha~ Rui~ Pot!"
Harry Potter nervously looked at Hermione, who was frantically raising her hands to answer, and wanted her to whisper to him. Hermione quickly opened and closed her mouth to indicate a word.
Unfortunately, Harry couldn't understand what she was trying to say.
"Perhaps if you get closer, you can see that Miss Granger is talking about 'bezoar'."
Harry suddenly realized, and was about to raise his head to answer, when he suddenly found that Snape was standing in front of him at some point.
He swallowed, gripping the edge of the table nervously.
Snape propped up his table with one hand, leaning into his eyes, "So, tell me, when you get stung by a Billywig bug and you have a bezoar in your hand, how do you save yourself?"
"Uh... this..."
"This is from the last Potions class before the holidays!" Snape's eyes flashed with anger, "It seems that some people just inherited the simple-minded athletic talent, but put the most important wisdom into the mother's womb Throw it back hard."
He was so disappointed that Lily's talent for potions and charms was absolutely top-notch, and her son had only inherited Potter's stupid and boring Quidditch talent.
"5 points from Gryffindor for your stupidity."
Snape slapped Harry on the shoulder so hard that the kid sat down.
Of course, he didn't realize that, Harry secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was used to deducting points from Snape, and since the points were deducted as soon as the class started, he probably wouldn't target himself like this in the next class.
"Who else knows how to use bezoar?"
No one spoke.
Professor Snape had to roll the roll again.
"Anthony Weasley."
Anton stood up, "Soak the bezoar in warm water for 5 minutes, then drink the water. If there is no warm water in an emergency, soak it in cold water for 20 minutes."
"Very good." Snape nodded, "It seems that you have not become blindly arrogant because of too many people's praises, and you have seriously studied the content of the previous courses."
"Ten points for Slytherin."
After speaking, he asked Anton to sit down, shaking his wizard robe like a bat, and walked in the aisle between the tables and chairs.
Everywhere they passed, everyone sat up straight with their heads up and their chests up, looking extremely nervous.
Including Slytherin students.
"I want to know..." Professor Snape walked back to the podium and looked at the students, "Has anyone read the book "Muggles, Werewolves and Pure Blood" written by Anthony?"
Some people in the crowd raised their hands sparsely, and gradually more than half of them raised their hands, and nearly two-thirds of them were Slytherins, which made him very satisfied.
Anton looked into the classroom in surprise, not expecting there to be so many people.
But he was not surprised that Slytherin people read the most, not because Slytherin was eager to learn, but because the price of his book was actually very expensive.
"I don't think you guys have understood the content of this book yet. Our lesson only mentions the changes between potions and magic power." Professor Snape drew out his wand and tapped on the blackboard, "In order to study hard children can have a foundation in this area.”
"Some of you, with some knowledge of Muggle medicine, would mistake a bezoar for a gastrolith."
"This is right and wrong, because the stomach stone lacks the link of magic power change."
"Bezoars are taken from the stomachs of animals. There are many sources, such as cattle, sheep, dogs, stags, bears, etc., but in the actual operation of potions, we generally refer to the stomach stones of wild goats in the wizarding world."
"The food residues, chaff, wood residue, sand, metal shavings, magic herbs, magic mineral powder and other indigestible foreign objects eaten by wild goats are fermented by the magic power in the body, and finally become fecal stones."
"In ancient Persia, the wizards there used a unique spell to help wild goats quickly condense into bezoars in their stomachs." Professor Snape leaned on the podium with his arms crossed, "It's still the world of wizards today. Main source of coprolith."
"After I checked various materials, I found that this method of ripening bezoar is actually just a simple potion preparation. They used wild goats as a crucible, and carefully prepared food as a potion material, supplemented by magic power. brought about changes."
"Very ingenious way."
Professor Snape looked at Anton, pursed his lips slightly, and smiled half-smile, "The technique used in Anthony's book is very similar to the production technique of this bezoar, except that wild goats are replaced by humans. "
"So we can think about the following questions in detail."
His wand tapped on the blackboard again, and a large number of words emerged.
"How does the potion material react when it enters the human body?"
"For example, why does the warm water soaked in bezoars instantly relieve the sting of Billywigs?"
"The potion material is made into a potion and drunk into the mouth. Why do you need so many materials processing, potion preparation, and a series of assistance such as time and environment? Why can't they be stuffed directly into the mouth, so what exactly do they produce? What kind of change?"
"For example, the warm water soaked in fecal stones, the temperature of our human mouth and saliva is already sufficient. Why do we need to bother soaking water instead of directly containing it in the mouth?"
"The third question, how does the prepared potion affect the whole body in an instant in the stomach of the human body?"
"For example, the thumb on your foot was stung by a Billywig bug. Why does the wound on your foot heal instantly after drinking the water soaked in fecal stones and entering your stomach?"
"The fourth question..."
"The fifth question..."
"..."
"Question twenty..."
Anton's eyes lit up when he heard it, yes, these are all directions that he has never thought about. He even felt for a moment that Snape's understanding of the book "Muggles, Werewolves and Pure Blood" might be more thorough than himself.
I teach Zhen Nai potion master.
Professor Snape accepted Anton's stare at his idol, and he raised the corners of his mouth triumphantly, with an inexplicable smile on his face, as if to say——Small, you still have a lot to learn.
Time passed little by little, as Snape began to explain these questions, the buzzing sounded like the cicadas in early summer, faintly echoing in the ear holes, urging people to fall asleep.
Some people gradually felt that, by comparison, History of Magic class was not unacceptable.
When did Potions class stop being a lot of hands-on work?
These theories have turned many people's eyes into mosquito coils.
Until the end, Professor Snape said, "That's all for today's class, I hope you can write a 1-foot-long paper on the seventh question."
After speaking, he tapped his wand on the blackboard to let all the contents be informed.
"I talked for a whole morning without stopping for a moment. I think you must have a lot of thoughts, and you must have written them down."
"Then finish the thesis well."
"!!!"
Many people woke up from their stupor in an instant, staring blankly at the characters on the blackboard gradually fading and disappearing without a trace.
Ron was one of them. He swallowed, met Harry's eyes, and looked down at his blank notes.
Finally, he raised his head and found that Hermione had followed the students who were leaving get out of class and swarmed out without turning their heads.
"Maybe we should apologize to Hermione, we really didn't consider her feelings." Harry sighed, and took his notes to Ron to copy, "Her parents hope to become wizards, which may become her future endeavors."
As he spoke, he stared at Anthony Weasley, who was briskly walking shoulder to shoulder with Draco, "His book is quietly changing everything."
Not only Hermione, but Harry keenly noticed the changes in Snape's teaching, and began to explain all the basics in detail around the content of "Muggles, Werewolves and Pure Blood".
This didn't exist before, Snape only talked about conclusions before, and only taught how to concoct potions.
Now it's time to explain these conclusions and the theory behind the potion.
Thinking of his cousin Dudley again, Harry was surprised to find that Anthony's influence was almost everywhere, yet so silent.
