The years of welding at Hogwarts

Liquidwort can be added to the cauldron without any processing, but Two-eared Grass should be chopped before adding it.

The thick cutting board created by Transfiguration slammed heavily on Snape's potion processing table. The loud noise made Snape raise his eyebrows.

"Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh! Duh!"

Even though he was mentally prepared, Snape was still startled by the sudden collision sound.

An extremely large boning knife appeared in Noah's hand at some point, and the sound was caused by the collision between the boning knife in Noah's hand and the chopping board.

Seeing this scene, Snape really couldn't help it.

If it weren't for the bone-chopping knife in Noah's hand flashing a chilling light in the dim candlelight, Snape would have really wanted to grab Noah by the collar and roar:

"What are you doing! Are you treating potion making as cooking or stewing soup!?"

But he didn't do that.

After watching Noah complete the clockwise stirring three times and add leeches, liquid grass and two-ear grass into the crucible, Snape silently pointed in the direction of the office door.

"Get out."

Noah calmly put the lacewing powder that needed to be boiled for 21 days into another crucible, lit the fire underneath, and then leisurely walked out of the old bat's potion office.

It seems that brewing potions is not that difficult.

After Noah left, Snape looked at the various strange kitchen utensils on his workbench and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Is it...

Is he really a genius?

Chapter 167: Quidditch Phantom, the Flying Tree

After several days of classes in a row, the students who had just come from a long vacation gradually calmed down their relaxed hearts.

At this time, two months had passed since the opening Quidditch match after Halloween.

The students' fear that a basilisk might emerge from under the Quidditch pitch at any time was long washed away by the Christmas holidays.

During this time, Dumbledore and many professors in the school have checked the entire sewer system of Hogwarts Castle and confirmed that there is indeed only one basilisk left in Slytherin.

Therefore, the Quidditch season, which had been suspended, can finally start again.

Probably because in the opening match, the Slytherin team beat them and gave them a four-digit score, the Gryffindor Quidditch team went crazy in terms of training.

Oliver Wood is demanding more from his players than ever before.

Even in heavy snow, riding on a high-speed flying broom, the oncoming cold air was like the cold and invisible blade of an old bat, and it could not resist his enthusiasm.

In addition, they also learned from Noah to do some cool things.

Just like some other formal school clubs have their own activity funds, each college's Quidditch team actually has their own small treasury.

The funds in this small treasury come from the professors' and students' own pockets, and some come from generous donations from alumni.

Part of the cost of the Nimbus 2000 broom that Professor McGonagall bought for Harry in the original world line was paid for from the small treasury.

Professor McGonagall can use the money to buy the Nimbus, or other items.

Following Oliver Wood's suggestion, the Gryffindor team traveled a long way to the Russians and ordered two extremely wild flying trees.

Since Slytherin had demonstrated this tactic before, the little lions didn't need to go to the trouble of keeping it secret like Slytherin did.

The news that they were training on the Quidditch field riding the flying tree immediately reached the ears of the captains of the other two teams.

This immediately set off an arms race in Hogwarts -

The other two teams followed the example of those unsportsmanlike little lions in Gryffindor and took out their long-treasured piggy banks and spent a lot of money to order big trees from the Russians.

But the reason why tactics are called tactics is that they can be changed flexibly.

While other colleges were still imitating each other, Noah, a tactical master with a very dirty heart, had already changed their team's combat strategy.

If other houses dare to use Slytherin's flying tree, which has been played to pieces by Slytherin, when facing the Slytherin team, Noah can guarantee that they will lose miserably.

……

It's another weekend.

The first game of the day is between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, a duel between two weak teams.

The reason why it is the first game is that the Quidditch Cup has been suspended for too long. If additional matches are not added, it will be difficult for them to play a full double round-robin tournament by the end of the school year.

Saturday is the Eagle-Badger battle. After that, the two teams will have a day of good rest before stepping onto the Quidditch field again the next day.

Because the next day, which was Sunday, there was a Quidditch match in the morning and afternoon.

They are the confrontations between the lion and the eagle, and the eagle and the badger.

"Cedric caught the Golden Snitch! The score between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw is 240:110!"

Lee Jordan's powerful voice was amplified by the radio and echoed throughout the Quidditch field.

"I have to say that this new Hufflepuff Seeker has a very strong dominance on the field. His performance is not inferior to that of Charlie Weasley, the Gryffindor Seeker who just retired!"

"Of course, in terms of level, Charlie from Gryffindor is stronger."

"What's even more valuable is that, in addition to having an excellent flying memory, this Seeker also has an extremely good-looking appearance that is no less than mine!"

Lee Jordan's dirty talk immediately caused a lot of boos, with the boos coming from the Hufflepuff House stands being particularly loud.

Why don't you look in the mirror to see how you compare with the hottie in our yard?

"If I were a girl, I would definitely fall in love with him."

At this point, Lee Jordan suddenly raised his voice and shouted into the microphone in an extremely sharp and piercing voice: "Cedric! I love you!"

His sudden display of bravado nearly caused Hufflepuff's star Seeker to fall off his broom.

Cedric climbed back onto the broom with difficulty and glared fiercely in the direction of the commentary desk, but he did not see the culprit there.

Because at this time, Lee had been thrown off the commentary desk by the angry Hufflepuff badgers with shoes, smelly socks, water bottles and other messy things.

Lee Jordan fled frantically towards the Slytherin stands, hoping to divert the trouble away.

Watching the players hovering in the sky, sitting in the audience

Harry ignored the noise of his classmates around him.

He does not share the same sorrows and joys as humans; he just thinks they are noisy.

"I wish I could join the Quidditch team."

The Savior, who was eager to perform well on the court and receive cheers and praise, muttered softly.

His eyes were fixed firmly on a petite figure in the Ravenclaw team, a talented Seeker that Eagle House had just recruited into the team this year.

Her name seems to be Qiu Zhang?

If I could join the Quidditch team, I would have the opportunity to communicate with that black-haired girl.

Wait? What was I thinking?

The savior turned around like a thief and glanced at the face of his roommate sitting next to him. He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he had not "accidentally" revealed his true feelings.

Sitting in the stands, Harry rested his chin on his hand with a somewhat melancholy look.

……

The results of the two games on the second day were not surprising at all.

Gryffindor and Slytherin both won the game.

Even though Harry did not become Gryffindor's Seeker like in the original timeline.

But the average quality of the Lions' players was there. Even if Cedric caught the Golden Snitch, it was difficult to make up the score gap between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, and they eventually lost the game.

And Ravenclaw is just a weak team to Slytherin.

It’s just that today’s game is a little different from previous ones.

The Ravenclaws imitated the Slytherin team and took out their own flying trees. Four trees with crowns large enough to block out the sun collided on the court.

The Slytherins, who had never been disgusted by his own tactics before, showed such discomfort and awkwardness when dealing with the Ravenclaw team that Professor Flitwick's eyes lit up.

Previously, he had not paid much attention to his own college's Quidditch team, because no matter how much the Ravenclaw players trained, they were keen on using their brains rather than using force to solve problems, and they were still at a disadvantage in Quidditch, a competition that required intense physical confrontation.

But now, Slytherin's poor performance gave Professor Flitwick hope.

Perhaps, in the future they can use their wild imaginations to devise all sorts of bizarre tactics, bringing the Lions and Snakes teams, who have a higher level of competition, down to their level, and then defeat them with their own wisdom?

Perhaps it was because he saw the hope of winning the Quidditch Cup that Professor Flitwick's heart was burning with excitement.

Even if he usually acts like he has no interest in the Quidditch Cup and the House Cup, as a dean, who wouldn't want to see his own house achieve good results?

However, what Professor Flitwick didn't know was that the Slytherin team simply looked down on the strength of their own college team, so they didn't come up with any new tactics to deal with them.

As a master tactician, how could Noah not have anticipated the possibility of other teams imitating his tactics?

Their countermeasures were to be left to Gryffindor.

But it can't be exposed too early.

Chapter 168 Lemuria Star

Just as the little snakes were celebrating their victory in the Slytherin College common room.

Off the west coast of Scotland.

In the vast sea that stretches as far as the eye can see, there are dozens of islands scattered around.

Thick black rain clouds covered the sea area, like an extremely thick black velvet carpet, blocking all light out.

The howling winds swept up huge amounts of sea water, forming huge waves that were more than ten meters high, which washed over these islands that seemed somewhat small in the storm over and over again.

About ten nautical miles from the Hebrides, a lone ship was drifting uncontrollably in the raging waves.

The push of the sea water brought the ship closer to the island little by little.

Soon, the ship, which had obviously encountered an accident and had thick smoke billowing from its deck, crashed into the shore, smashing the extremely hard reef into pieces.

In front of the huge metal bow, the land was broken apart like a soft stream of water, and the surging earth waves rolled violently.

With the sharp and strange sound of steel twisting and deforming, the cargo ship named Lemuria finally ran aground on this uninhabited island.

With a deafening explosion, a large hole with a diameter of several meters suddenly appeared in the cabin in the middle of the ship.

With an outlet for venting, thick black smoke gushed out of the hole crazily.

A large humanoid lizard covered with green scales slowly emerged from the hole. Voldemort, who had already got what he wanted, had a ferocious smile on his face.

With the unique slight explosion sound when Apparition, Voldemort's figure twisted into a ball in an instant and disappeared on the spot.

……

No one knew how long it had been before this cargo ship that had suddenly lost contact on the ocean finally attracted people's attention.

Accompanied by two slight crackling sounds, two figures suddenly emerged from the void and landed on the deck of the freighter.

Before they even stood firmly, they both smelled the solemn and murderous atmosphere in the salty and humid sea breeze.

A dark-faced man looked at the messy deck in front of him. Because of the violent collision, those

The containers that were once neatly stacked are now scattered on the deck in a disorderly manner.

The heavy weight of the goods inside caused the containers to undergo varying degrees of severe deformation during the process of falling and collision.

But Kingsley's eyes were not focused on the containers and the precious cargo that spilled out of them.

Instead, he looked solemnly at the ruins-like deck, the bodies that were barely visible under the containers, and the dark red blood stains that seeped out from the cracks.

That extremely tragic scene tells of the brutal atrocities that had occurred here.

"Oh my god, Kingsley!"

His companion's voice trembled slightly, "What on earth happened here?"

In just a small area on the deck in front of the two men, more than a dozen bodies could be seen. If this density were extended to the entire ship, what a terrible number would the number of casualties be?

Kingsley Shacklebolt raised the small wooden stick he had been holding tightly in his hand.

From his shaking hands, it can be seen that he is also very uneasy in his heart. "The answer is obvious, Dawlish. A massacre took place here less than ten minutes ago."

Although he had been through many battles and had seen many big scenes, this was the first time he had seen a situation like this.

It took him a lot of willpower to suppress the feeling of nausea rising from his stomach.

Kingsley walked to the nearest corpse and squatted down, carefully examining the condition of the corpse. The corpse was covered with all kinds of horrible scars, as if it had been bitten by countless wild beasts before death.
