Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

The voice of Madam Pince, the librarian, rang out. She had been keeping an eye on Dudley, after all, he was such a big guy.

How did you guess the one that was right??? I was shocked, did you really read my outline???

Chapter 57: Don't just rely on tools... Leave the things here with me

Compared to the leisurely weekends of other little wizards, Dudley's weekend schedule is fully scheduled.

Exercise in the early morning, go to the library in the morning, and go to Professor Snape to study potions in the afternoon.

Hermione actually wanted to go very much. Although Snape's reputation was not as great as Dumbledore, the greatest white wizard, he was one of the world's best potion masters. How many people dreamed of receiving his personal instruction.

Unfortunately, Professor Snape did not invite her.

Dudley said that he had learned to teach her the same thing.

A quarter earlier than the agreed time, Dudley arrived at the door of the Potions classroom and found it locked. Snape had not come yet, so Dudley leaned against the door and read a book on herbology.

Herbology is the foundation of potions. If you want to learn potions well, you must have professional knowledge of herbology.

"You're more punctual than I thought."

Snape's calm but slightly dangerous voice, like 'black velvet', sounded behind Dudley.

Dudley put down his book and said very politely, "Good afternoon, Professor."

Although Snape's footsteps were as light as his voice, and to ordinary little wizards it seemed that Snape walked as silently as a ghost, for Dudley they were still very clear in his ears.

His hearing is much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. In fact, in terms of physical fitness alone, Dudley can be said to be a "little superman".

Well. The premise is that you don’t compare yourself with a half-blood giant like Hagrid.

Snape opened the door of the Potions Room, and the two came to the Potions Room again, but this time it was a one-on-one teaching.

"My private lessons aren't that easy."

"If I find that you can't keep up, or don't have that talent, then get out of my classroom."

Snape's words were very cruel, but after all, the two of them were not related, and it was good enough that he could give you private lessons. After all, the only connection between the two of them was that Dudley's aunt was Snape's secret crush.

He was not Harry, and Snape would not treat him any differently.

"Of course, Professor." Dudley's tone was respectful, but there was a sense of arrogance in his bones.

No matter how difficult it is or how complicated the process is, as long as it can be accomplished by humans, Daddy doesn't think he can't do it.

He is a very hardworking and diligent student, and with his magic data eye, if he still can't do it, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

“Very confident.”

"I hope the potion you create is worthy of your confidence."

Snape motioned for Dudley to find a seat while he found some materials from a nearby locker and placed them in front of Dudley.

"The Cheer Up Potion, the content of your first lesson."

The cheering potion is a type of healing potion and is one of the commonly used potions in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, one of the top three hospitals in the wizarding world.

Invigorating potion, white savory essence, and blood tonic are all generally considered therapeutic potions, but they focus on different things. For example, it's like the difference between cold and fever medicines in the ordinary world, ibuprofen, compound paracetamol tablets, and vitamin C Yinqiao tablets.

The main function of blood tonic is to replenish lost blood, and it has no other effects.

Dittany essence is a magical potion extracted from the plant Dittany that is used to heal wounds. It is generally used to treat external injuries and has a good effect. Most wizards can make it.

Finally, the Energizing Potion is an auxiliary healing potion that also has a certain healing effect and a stimulant effect, but this is not the main effect. It can increase the effect of other healing potions.

In other words, the combination of Dietary Essence + Invigorating Potion can greatly enhance the therapeutic effect.

It is precisely because of this that the difficulty of brewing the invigorating potion is much greater than the previous two.

According to the teaching situation at Hogwarts, this is already the content learned by senior grades.

"Do you have any questions? If not, let's officially begin."

Snape said calmly as he took out the materials for making a cheering potion.

There are only two auxiliary ingredients, horkelp juice and fresh dill leaves, but it is quite troublesome to prepare.

"Professor, I have something for you."

Dudley said as he took out the things he had prepared long ago and gently placed them on the table.

The complete set of experimental equipment includes test tubes, beakers, evaporating dishes, alcohol lamps, Buchner funnels and other things.

"Muggle stuff?"

Snape only took a glance and immediately determined from the craftsmanship that these things were not produced in the wizarding world.

"Yes, Professor."

Dudley replied truthfully, and then took out the equipment one by one.

Pile up in a pile.

It's no wonder that Snape's tone contained a hint of disdain; almost every wizard has a natural sense of superiority when facing Muggles.

Few wizards would value things made by Muggles. As far as Dudley knew, in recent years there seemed to be only one well-known wizard who attached great importance to things made by Muggles. This wizard was called Grindelwald.

"This is the beaker, this is the measuring cup and this is."

Seeing that Snape didn't take it seriously, Dudley didn't get anxious either. He just took the equipment and briefly introduced their uses.

As Dudley introduced them one by one, Snape's eyes changed from disdainful at first to serious.

Take the balance as an example. There is no comparison between the old-fashioned brass balance and the pan balance. The latter absolutely crushes the former in terms of accuracy.

A top potion master like Snape certainly knows what precision means.

Often just a slight difference can determine whether a potion is successful or not.

"I thought these things would be useful for making potions, so I brought them here."

"Professor, whether it is made by Muggles or wizards, as long as the tools are useful, isn't it enough?"

After the introduction, Snape was already deeply attracted by the experimental equipment in front of him and couldn't wait to try them out.

"It's a very convenient thing, but you are not allowed to use it in my class in the future."

"As a wizard, you can't rely solely on your tools."

Seeing that Dudley had no intention of objecting, Snape showed a rare look of approval.

"Leave this set of tools here with me for now."

"Of course, Professor. These were meant for you."

In fact, Dali also agrees that we cannot rely solely on tools.

Strictly speaking, these experimental equipment are of very limited help to a top potion master like Snape. Apart from the problem of precise scale, the functions of the experimental equipment can often be completed by magic. Just like for Dudley, after he obtained the Data Eye, the effectiveness of the experimental equipment was greatly reduced. Snape just found it new.

After all, Snape's daily life is quite boring. He has no other hobbies except potions.

Oh, and maybe now there's one more eye for Harry and points deducted from Gryffindor.

However, for those who are new to potions, these experimental instruments are auxiliary tools.

Potions and technology each have their own advantages and disadvantages. We cannot completely lean towards one side. The right way is to combine the two into one.

'Whether it's Muggle-made or wizard-made, as long as the tools are useful, isn't that enough?'

'Lily once said something similar.'

Without Dudley noticing, Snape's gaze towards him softened again.

py a book by a big boss: "The Great Sage Shen Gongbao Persuaded the Immortal to Die" billions of disasters have forged his Taoist body, and he has become a Daluo Immortal for eternity.

Chapter 58 Dudley's Two Small Goals (Please vote)

Dudley began to spend the weekends at Snape's place, studying potions for more than eight hours a day, from afternoon to night. During this time, Dudley experienced the baptism of "venom" again and again. If Snape was sarcastic, it would be really infuriating.

After all, it was Dudley's first time making an unfamiliar potion, so it was inevitable that he would make some minor mistakes in the details.

Decoctions, brews, infusions, ointments, poultices, tinctures, lotions, there's more to potions than just boiling something in a cauldron, and that's just one of the seven ways to make a potion.

During Snape's demonstration, he used six methods to make the finished invigorating potion, which really opened Dudley's eyes.

These have never been imagined before.

After all, the first-grade textbook only teaches the method of decoction.

Snape's demands on Dudley were incredibly high.

It is more than ten times stricter than for others.

It’s so outrageous that his mother opened the door for outrageous things. It’s so outrageous.

Snape only demonstrated it once, and then assigned Dudley an assignment to make a cheering potion using at least three of the above methods.

Then he let Dudley start making it himself according to the method he taught.

When Dudley placed the ordinary-grade invigorating potion that he had made using three methods in front of Snape, the other party criticized it as worthless.

"Are all the trolls dancing in your head?"

"Maybe the trolls aren't dancing in your head, you're the troll."

"What's in your head? Troll snot?"

"."

Snape seemed to associate Dudley with the troll, and would always bring the troll into the mix when he started bashing him.

Dudley had a feeling that this guy was secretly referring to his size.

"If it were me, if it were Lily, I would definitely be able to make a better quality potion."

This was the only thought in Snape's mind after he entered the teaching state.

Completely ignoring the fact that they were about to graduate and Dudley was just a first-year wizard.

It's understandable if you think about it. Who would subconsciously treat a 180cm tall strong man as an -year-old wizard?

However, such extremely high standards and strict requirements also aroused Dudley's unyielding competitive spirit.

Completely clashed with the invigorating potion.

Relying on the advantage of the Data Magic Eye, he began to work hard to improve his proficiency in the Invigorating Potion. After all, there were not many other things in the potion classroom except for the materials.

How can such a good opportunity be wasted.

So Dudley completely entered the state of making medicine.

By Sunday evening, the table was already covered with the finished products of the stimulant potion.

From using three methods to produce ordinary grade in the beginning to now being able to use five methods to produce perfect grade, only Dudley himself knows how much he has experienced in just two days.

Just relying on this perfect level of uplifting potion, if Dudley graduated from Hogwarts now, he could even go directly to St. Mungo's Hospital for a job.

However, this only barely satisfied Snape.

"It took you two full days to barely pass. I really suspect that a troll sneaked into your brain at night. Your talent really tarnishes the reputation of your aunt. Don't tell anyone else that it was me who taught you."

Snape stared into Dudley's eyes and put away the perfect level of invigorating potion on the table with an expressionless face.

"If it was your Aunt Lily, she could make it seven ways in just one day."

Ever since Dudley called Lily "Aunt" many times in front of Snape, Snape gradually accepted this name and started using it, and it became more and more comfortable to him.

Dudley had no idea how talented his aunt was in potions, but from Petunia and Snape's indirect descriptions and their praise, he knew that she was definitely a top potion master.

When it comes to potions, it seems like there is no potion she doesn't know how to make, and no potion she can't make well.

This aroused Dudley's inner desire to compete with her.

Although Snape said that he could make the invigorating potion using seven methods in just one day, it cannot be ruled out that Snape was bragging.

But who is Dudley? He is the challenger who likes to say "NO" to those who think they are right and never admits defeat!

The higher the goal is set, the more valuable it is to achieve.

Dudley has found two little goals at Hogwarts.
