Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 40 The Half-Blood Prince's Notes

"Also, Potter, Gryffindor will lose a point for talking back to the teacher."

Snape added one last thing before starting to pair the young wizards up.

Harry was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing this, Jerry could only pat Hermione on the shoulder to comfort him.

There's nothing he can do. It's your dad's fault for always bullying others when you were in school. Now that your dad's gone, he can only take his anger out on you.

Perhaps this is what they call "sons inheriting their fathers' business," or rather, "sons paying for their fathers' debts"!

When dividing into groups, because there were more Gryffindors and fewer Slytherins, and both were odd numbers, Jerry and Hermione were put in the same group to work together to prepare a potion to treat boils.

In the magic book "Potions and Elixirs," in addition to explaining in detail the steps, details, and precautions for making basic potions, it also provides the methods for making a total of seven kinds of potions.

These are: common antidote, medicine for treating boils, amnesia potion, herbal remedy, sedative (life-and-death potion), swelling potion, and awakening agent.

After the distribution was completed, Snape first explained the entire potion-making process, and then personally demonstrated how to make a bottle.

The preparation of potions is actually very similar to the chemistry experiments Jerry did in his previous life when he was in school. Both involve using small medicine bottles, balances, and various instruments to precisely prepare the potions according to the formula.

Carefulness and meticulousness are of utmost importance in the making of potions.

However, unlike ordinary chemistry experiments where following the steps guarantees the desired result, brewing potions, if you simply follow the steps, will only result in a useless mixture.

It also requires the use of internal magic power and the final application of a wand to complete the potion in order to obtain the correct and effective magical potion.

Therefore, if you are just a Muggle without magic, even if you obtain the materials and methods for making potions, you will not be able to actually make the corresponding potions.

"You piece of trash, are you blind? Is that dried nettle?"

"Fool, it's the fangs of a slayer snake. Do you even know what 'slayer' means?"

As the young wizards began to prepare the potions according to the steps, Snape, dragging his long black cloak, walked back and forth in the classroom to check them.

However, his cursing almost never stopped; every little wizard he passed by was subjected to a torrent of abuse.

Even Slytherin's young wizards are no exception; they still get scolded for making mistakes.

Only when he reached Jerry and Hermione's group did he nod in satisfaction and offer a few words of praise.

At this moment, Jerry had already entered his energizing mode, with his mind and body at their peak. Combined with Hermione's high talent for potions, concocting a simple potion was naturally no problem for them.

"Done!"

Shortly after Snape left, pink smoke began to rise from the cauldron in front of Jerry and Hermione, indicating that the potion to treat the boils had been successfully prepared.

"oops!"

Just then, Neville and Seamus from the next group suddenly cried out in alarm. Their crucible had inexplicably leaked, spilling the medicine and sending up thick, green, acidic smoke.

"A series of kicks!"

In his heightened state, Jerry's senses and reactions were incredibly sharp. The instant he saw Neville and Seamus encounter an accident, he immediately aimed a series of kicks at their buttocks.

Using a gentle force, he kicked Neville and Seamus away, preventing them from being hit by the thick green smoke. He then immediately turned around, grabbed Hermione, and leaped onto a nearby stool to protect them from the highly corrosive potion.

Even so, Harry and Ron on Neville's other side still got splashed with the potion on their shoes, burning several holes in them.

Clearly, concocting this potion is not so safe; a single experimental mistake could cost you your life.

And this is just the simplest way to prepare a medicine.

It's likely that the scarcity of potion masters in the wizarding world is largely due to the inherent dangers of potion concoction.

If you don't have a talent for potion making, not only will you fail and waste a lot of precious ingredients, but you may also put your life in danger.

"idiot!"

Snape roared over, waving his wand to wipe away the spilled potion and green smoke:

"I think you probably put the porcupine quills in without removing the crucible from the fire, didn't you?"

Neville and Seamus got up from the ground without saying a word, which was obviously an admission of their agreement.

"Gryffindor has lost a point because of your idiotic behavior. Go back and redo it!"

After Snape finished yelling, he turned to look at Jerry and nodded in satisfaction.

"You reacted quickly. If it weren't for you, they would both be in the infirmary. Slytherin, three points!"

After he finished speaking, he happened to see the potion that Jerry and Hermione had prepared on their table, and his eyes lit up:

"You've prepared it so quickly! Hmm, not bad, quite perfect, a very high-quality potion. It seems you have a real talent for potions. Slater adds another three points!"

"Ahem, Professor, the potion was mixed by Hermione and me!"

Seeing that Snape was completely ignoring Hermione, Jerry had no choice but to remind him.

Snape glanced at Hermione:

"Alright, Gryffindor gets three points too!"

After saying that, he resumed his patrol of the classroom.

But as he walked up to Harry and Ron, he suddenly paused, turning to look at Harry, who was steaming the tentacle slug:

"Potter, why didn't you tell Neville not to add the porcupine quills? Do you think it makes you look good just because he made a mistake? Gryffindor lost another point because of you."

Harry froze on the spot.

When Potions class ended and all the young wizards left the classroom for the Great Hall for lunch, Jerry excused himself to go back to his dormitory and temporarily left the group.

After carefully observing the basement corridor and confirming that Snape had returned to his office, Jerry went to the door of the Potions classroom again.

"The Arahomon Opens!"

Jerry cast a lock-picking spell on the classroom door and pushed it open, walking inside.

After carefully walking around the classroom, he immediately focused his attention on the locker next to the podium.

That locker was where Snape stored some potion materials he often used in class.

After rummaging through the locker, Jerry finally found what he was looking for on the bottom shelf: a secondhand sixth-grade potion textbook, "Advanced Potion Making."

As he turned to the first page of the book, a handwritten signature came into view.

"This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince"
