The years of welding at Hogwarts

Noah stared at the warnings written before the instructions for making the Polyjuice Potion with interest, but he didn't take it seriously.

It is true that it cannot completely transform a person into an animal, but it can turn a person into a special being like a half-orc, something between humans and animals.

Just like a mermaid, a half human, half fish.

It has a human on top and a fish on the bottom, with pointy teeth and a nose like a head of garlic.

……

"What are you going to do with the Polyjuice Potion?"

Snape stared at the Shaforin imp in front of him with extreme vigilance. He didn't know that Noah was able to change his appearance with the help of Transfiguration, so he was very careful about this potion that could cause big trouble.

It doesn't look like a shrinking potion.

Even if that thing could disguise the terrifying three-headed dog as a cute little one, allowing Noah to carry it with him at all times, it wouldn't cause any big trouble.

After all, the legal owner of the three-headed dog is Noah, and the record is registered with the Ministry of Magic.

The damage caused by magical animals is particularly easy to identify. If a three-headed dog were to injure someone anywhere in the British wizarding world, Noah, the owner, would definitely not be able to escape.

But Polyjuice Decoction is different.

Noah has a criminal record.

The last time the brat came to him for the Polyjuice Potion, he didn't take it too seriously.

However, who could have imagined that the kid asked for the Polyjuice Potion so that he could have someone impersonate him and spend two days in school in his likeness so that he could go out and act wild outside Hogwarts?

It would be fine if Noah's purpose was just to sneak out to Hogsmeade village to play.

Just like Shirley did before.

I pulled his hair and put it into Polyjuice Potion to transform into his appearance, just so I could go to Knockturn Alley next to Diagon Alley for a stroll.

As expected of the descendants of two Gryffindors, even their personalities have the characteristics of Gryffindor house.

But Shirley is different from Noah.

No matter what Shirley did, it was forgivable. After all, it was just a child's nature to love playing.

But this kid was going to the Muggle world to carry out his evil plan. When a muscular man came to him with a warehouse full of ammunition and asked for Polyjuice Potion that day, Snape was completely numb.

This is what you said, adults shouldn't ask too many questions about children's affairs?

Judging from the number of weapons that one-armed burly man carries, let alone just one Hogwarts student, even if there were ten more Hogwarts students, they would not be enough for him to empty his magazines.

Who the hell let you put someone like that in Hogwarts!

In addition, Noah had just mentioned his action plan worth a million gold galleons to him a few days ago. If this daring kid got the Polyjuice Potion and then got Dumbledore's hair...

Considering the normal amount of hair loss in a person's daily life, it would be quite easy for Noah to get Lao Deng's hair.

Snape had no doubt that he would give out the Polyjuice Potion today and hear about the attack on Gringotts tomorrow.

So he rejected Noah's request without hesitation.

Facing Snape's suspicious look, Noah grinned.

"Am I like that kind of person?"

The cold old bat continued to stare at Noah in front of him with his deathly gaze. Even if he didn't make any statement, his look had already shown his true thoughts.

Looking at Snape's look, which said, "I can't give you the Polyjuice Potion unless you explain clearly," Noah spread his hands helplessly.

"I plan to learn Animagus with the help of Polyjuice Potion."

Polyjuice Potion...

Animagus?

Is there any necessary connection between the two?

"The effect of Animagus is to transform a wizard from a human into a

to form animals, and my learning progress was stuck on the conversion between human cells and animal cells.”

Noah's eyes sparkled. "If I add animal hair to the polyjuice decoction, I can experience the transformation process myself."

What the fuck...

What kind of out-of-this-world idea is this?

"Altering the composition of Polyjuice Potion rashly could result in irreversible deformation."

Snape snorted coldly, "Unless you want to remain half-human, half-beast forever and never change back, then go ahead and try."

Facing the old bat's extremely stern warning, Noah waved his hand casually, "It's not like there haven't been cases where wizards have mistakenly taken polyjuice potion mixed with animal hair."

"I still have great faith in Madam Pomfrey's medical skills and that she can turn me back to my original appearance."

"and……"

Noah suddenly changed the subject, "Don't you think it's cool to be half-human, half-beast?"

Noah's eyes, which had been a little dull due to staying up late recently, brightened up when he recalled the scene in the original time and space where Hermione turned into a furry little cat girl after taking the Polyjuice Potion.

" alt='Cat Girl Hermione'>

Ah, Fury...

No, people can't, or at least shouldn't.

Once the thoughts start to diverge, it becomes difficult to restrain them.

Noah began to imagine all the fancy uses of this advanced potion after he got the Polyjuice Potion.

For example, a special edition with lion hair is made for the older cat girl. How can the dean of the Lion Academy not change into a half-lion man?

For example, give an old bee a bunch of bee fluff. Have you seen Kamen Rider?

Dumbledore: Henshin!

Kamen Rider! The Bee!

Of course, Noah thought it was more likely to be the bee Gurongi.

"Old Si! Give me a full dose of Polyjuice Potion!"

Looking at this incredible kid in front of him who had even looked up information on side effects and treatments himself, Snape could only hold his forehead helplessly.

He knew that even if he didn't give the Polyjuice Potion to Noah, the kid would get a bottle through other means and channels and then start to do something stupid.

Do young people nowadays play so big and so extravagantly?

In order to prevent the kid from getting a bottle of inferior Polyjuice Potion from Knockturn Alley or somewhere else and then really killing himself, Snape decided it would be better to control the risk for Noah.

After all, Noah cannot die now. He temporarily still needs Noah as a tool to help him find all of Voldemort's Horcruxes and complete his plan to kill Voldemort.

However, after changing his mind, Snape swallowed back the words of promise that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I won't help you make Polyjuice Potion."

Noah's mouth twisted for a moment, but Snape's next words brought it back to its original position.

"But I can teach you how to make Polyjuice Potion."

“Come to my office at 8pm.

Chapter 166: Potions and the Culinary Arts

At eight o'clock in the evening, Noah stood at the door of the gloomy bat cave on time.

Before he raised his hand to knock on the door, the door of the old bat's office automatically swung back and opened. Batman, with a still cold expression, stood beside his desk and raised his chin slightly towards the locker.

"Good evening, Severus."

Without considering himself as an outsider, Noah walked directly to the large wooden cabinet which was the second most precious thing in the eyes of the old bat and opened the door.

Why is it said to be the second most precious?

No matter what precious potion material it is, even if its value can buy the entire wizarding world, in the eyes of the old bat, it is not as valuable as his beloved daughter Shirley.

"Lacewings, leeches, sap grass and two-ear grass picked during the full moon..."

Before planning to use Polyjuice Potion to do something terrible, Noah had already borrowed "Mighty Potions" from the Hogwarts library with Professor McGonagall's approval.

Identifying and accurately taking out the ingredients needed to prepare the compound potion recorded in the book was not difficult for him, as he had already done his homework.

"The horns of a two-horned beast need to be ground into powder... and the skin of an African bush snake."

Noah did not take the last two ingredients out of the cupboard. The entire process of brewing the polyjuice potion takes a full month, which can be divided into two stages.

The horns of the bicorne and the skin of the African brush snake will not be needed until the second stage, so there is no need to waste materials that you will not need for the time being.

Looking at how skillfully Noah selected the ingredients for the potion, even with Snape's sharp tongue, it was difficult to find any fault with him.

Of course, selecting the materials is not difficult, but the real test of one's potion-making skills comes in the subsequent brewing operations.

As an oriental man who is good at both housework and cooking, Noah placed a brass crucible on the shelf with ease and cleaned it with a fresh brush.

Three times.

After filling the crucible halfway with water from a clear spring, an inconspicuous little flame shot out from Noah's fingertips and fell into the shelf below the crucible.

The next second, the blazing flame began to slowly and steadily heat the pure water in the crucible.

After preparing the utensils, the next step is to process the potion materials.

Looking at Noah's extremely standard method of handling potions, Snape, who was wanting to find fault, raised his eyebrows slightly, but ultimately did not speak.

But when Noah pulled out a rolling pin, he couldn't help himself.

Snape looked darkly at the kitchen utensil in front of him that should not appear in the process of potion making. "Tell me, Mr. Shafrin, what do you want to do with this rolling pin?"

"Removing the leech's internal organs?" Noah turned his head slightly to glance at Snape, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

Who the hell told you to use a rolling pin to remove the entrails of leeches!

Who! Tell! You!

Snape, whose face was darker than his black robe, viciously grabbed the rolling pin in Noah's hand, wanting to throw away this thing that insulted the sacred potion-making process.

But Noah just took a step to the side and avoided his clutches.

At the same time, Noah kept moving his hands to place a few leeches on the clean table in front of him, and the rolling pin in his hand rolled over the poor leeches like a ruthless steamroller.

Pfft!

Looking at the leech entrails spraying more than a meter away, Snape closed his mouth.

The correct way to clean leeches is to cut open their bodies with a knife and repeatedly wash them in clean water.

Then soak them in salt water with a higher salt concentration than their body fluids to dehydrate them into a wrinkled leech skin, which will make them a qualified potion material.

But, uh…

Watching Noah skillfully use a cleaning tool to clean up the leech entrails that were scattered on the wall in front of him, along with the residues that had not been completely discharged from their bodies, even Snape could not find any fault.

You have passed this level.

I'd like to see what new tricks you can come up with.

After leeches are lacewings. As one of the three most critical medicinal ingredients in the compound decoction, lacewings need to be boiled in the crucible for 21 days before the next stage of boiling the compound decoction can be carried out.

Before putting the lacewings into the crucible, you need to clean them and grind them into a fine powder in a mortar.

But Snape never expected that Noah had no intention of playing by the rules.

Instead of using a mortar, he used Transfiguration to make a blender with his hands.

Noah has become quite skilled in transforming dead objects.

Looking at the Muggle machine that looked somewhat familiar but whose exact name Snape couldn't pronounce, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

After learning from the last lesson, Snape decided to wait and see what new tricks this troublemaker could come up with before he started to scold Noah.

After staring at the wires of the wall breaker in front of him and thinking for a while, Noah raised his finger again.

Look at me sending out 220V 50Hz AC power.

After being connected to the power supply, the blender immediately started to work with a humming sound. When Noah placed a whole portion of lacewings powder that was ground into extremely fine powder without any large particles visible in front of him, Snape's face was filled with a confused expression.

He kept his mouth shut silently, not intending to speak, but raised his chin towards the liquid grass and two-ear grass placed beside him, indicating Noah to continue making the polyjuice potion.
