Chapter 8: Professor Exam

　　 Early the next morning, Aristophane got up. He applied to Professor Snape to use the potions classroom last night because he was familiar with the environment.
　　 After washing up, he went to the auditorium alone, greeted Neville and others, and hurried to Snape's office on the first floor after breakfast.
He stood at the door and knocked. After a while Snape opened the door for him from inside. Aristophane followed him in and looked around, and found that the room was dark on all four walls and there were shelves along the wall. There are many large glass jars with all kinds of disgusting things floating in them, and there is a fireplace in the office, but it looks like it has not been used for a long time.
"I don't need to emphasize the importance of believing in potions," Snape said coldly, sitting at his desk. "Although you passed the interview, I still have doubts about your level of potions. "
After speaking, he reached out and pulled out a roll of parchment from the table, and handed it to Aristophane: "This is a sleeping potion formula and operation steps. I put two raw materials in the potions classroom next door. If you can make a qualified sleeping potion before lunch, I will allow you to be my assistant. Otherwise, you'd better be an interpreter for Bathsheda honestly."
Aristophane took the parchment, opened it and read it twice, until a beep of "ding" sounded in his ears, and the corner of his eyes saw "Alchemy formula sleeping potions are included, and the formula library expanded." Snape nodded and said, "I'll do it now, I hope you won't break your promise, Professor," he said and walked out with the parchment.
　　 Snape frowned, didn't say anything, turned around and started working on his own affairs.
　　---------Making potion dividing line--------
　　 As a slightly difficult potion, these two productions greatly increased his alchemy experience:
　　 "Successfully made a broken sleeping potion, alchemy +5"
　　 "Successfully made a flawed sleeping potion, alchemy +7"
　　 You must know that when he was in Fengxing Village, the magic potions made with blood thistle could no longer bring him alchemy experience. Instead, the game said it was a gray formula, which could only provide alchemy experience through daily tasks.
　　 However, even with the help of the system, Aristophanes did not make a perfect medicine, but it was enough to pass the test.
　　 He packed up a series of things in the balance and went to Professor Snape's office again with two bottles of potions.
"This is the sleeping potion you made?" Snape stared at the two ampoules, one darker and the other lighter. He poured them out a little to observe the color, and then smelled the scent. "For the first time. The production can be made like this, it seems that your claim that you came from a family of potions is true. Okay, then you come to my office at 8 o'clock every evening and prepare with me the items needed for the next day's potions course. ."
　　 After speaking, Snape waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
　　 But Aristophane stood still, and Snape said again, "What else do you have?"
"It's such a professor," Aristophane replied, "I read books before, including "Magic Potion and Potion", "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", and I was a little confused about some steps when making sleeping potions. I want to ask you something."
　　 "Oh, isn't it? Then tell me." The indifferent expression on Snape's face moved a little, and there seemed to be some sarcasm in his eyes.
"I actually want to know why when we describe how much a certain ingredient needs to be used in the magic world, why don't we use more precise weighing figures? We always use'a pinch, a handful', how many ounces and even None of them has been refined to the unit of'grain'. Such an inaccurate description of the potions made by the same person before and after may not be the same, let alone made by different people. Isn't the two sleeping potions in front of you just one? The best example?"
　　 Snape gradually began to think after hearing this, "Tell me your opinion."
"I think a more detailed potion production process should be developed, just like the requirements for the wrist in the "Standard Spell" for the floating spell, the potion production should also have a more detailed weighing description plan." Aristophanes Answered cautiously.
When he was in Fengxing Village, he had already tried to carry out standardized alchemy, forging, and enchanting processes. Although it did not show its power due to the small number of people, the stable product level and not low production efficiency were enough to make the Fengxing family The harvest is full.
　　 "You go back first, let me think about this," Snape seemed to have some thoughts, frowning, "Don't forget to prepare for tomorrow's potions class at eight o'clock in the evening."
　　 "Good professor, then I'm going to eat first." Aristophane said, turned and left his office.
After lunch, he went to see Bathsheda Bablin, a professor of ancient magic texts. She was very kind and said that she only had three electives a week, so that Aristophanes didn’t need to be nervous and only needed half an hour before class to prepare. , Just call it in class. Aristophane asked her for a list of books, and then went back.
　　 It was still early, and Aristophanes decided to go to the library to study. Along the way, he saw the moving armor and the talking painting person, and Pepy Ghost even came to mock him, and was scared away by his lightning missile.
　　 He arrived at the library smoothly. Since it was the first day of the new semester, there were almost no people in the library. He chose a copy of "The Great Wizard of the Twentieth Century" and read it with gusto, until dinner time when Mrs. Pins interrupted him.
　　 "[Mystery Reading] effect ceases, lasts 3.5 hours, your knowledge of the world increases," the system prompts.
　　 He stood up, stretched his waist, sensed the flow speed of the secret energy in the lower body, smiled and said goodbye to Mrs. Pince, and left the library.
　　At the dinner table, he exchanged his thoughts at Hogwarts with the professors today.
"Hogwarts is really a magical place," Aristophane said while eating the pie. "Various armors, famous paintings, moving stairs, and most importantly, there are so many books in the library. awesome!"
　　 "Of course, this is Hogwarts!" Professor McGonagall blurted out.
　　 "The only thing that disappoints me a bit is that these meals are really not to my taste. I think I should take the time to go to the kitchen to take a look and teach the chefs some new tricks. Can you, Professor Dumbledore?"
"Oh, of course. The kitchen is right under the hall. But I have a request." Dumbledore smiled and skewed a piece of beef. "The sweet and sour fried pork that you made during your last interview must be Let the elves learn first."
　　 "That dish is called sweet and sour pork loin," Aristophane said enthusiastically, "I have more desserts, and I promise to see a variety of different dishes on the table tomorrow!"
　　 "Aristophane, I never found you to be such a tossing guy," Flivy sighed, but let him go.
　　After drinking and eating, Aristophane did not return to the Astronomy Tower, but went directly to his underground office with Snape.
"I thought about your question," Snape said. "It is true that a standardized potion production process is conducive to the production of potions and the stability of their quality, but one thing is that potions need the magic power of the wizard in the end. Citation, how do you standardize this introduction?"
　　 Aristophanes thought for a while. This is indeed a big problem, but he still thinks that it is already a huge project to refine and standardize materials. As for the size of the magic attractor, if it doesn't work, just try a little bit. Anyway, with so many wizards at Hogwarts, the courses are relatively idle except for the students in the fifth and seventh grades who have to face the wizarding grade exam. If you have enough college cup scores, someone will definitely be willing to work as a coolie.
Aristophane exchanged his thoughts with Snape. Snape hesitated for a while and said, "You take the time to write a report to me. I will show it to Dumbledore. If we can, we will Start trying." As a potion master, Snape's vision is natural, and he can see the benefits of this standard, so he was moved.
　　 "Good professor."
　　 "Prepare for tomorrow's class tonight. Tomorrow is the senior class. We need to teach them to make vitality tonics. We need..." Snape said a lot of materials and asked Aristophane to help him.
　　 It was ten o'clock in the evening, and Aristophane left happily after helping Snape clean up the materials. After all, he had gained countless experiences in this wave:
　　 "Successfully dealt with eel eyeballs~EbookFREE.me~Alchemy experience +0.1"
　　 "Successfully dealt with eel eyes, alchemy experience +0.1"
　　 "Successfully dealt with the venom of the long-horned toad, alchemy experience +0.1"
　　····
　　 Although not much, mosquito legs are meat. At this rate, his alchemy will soon be upgraded again, which is much faster than working hard in Fengxing Village.
　　 When he returned to the lodging tower, he began to prepare to write the report. He thought about the topic in advance, and it was called "Discussion on the Feasibility of Potion Refining Standards". It was demonstrated from multiple perspectives from the current process of potion production, the extensive weighing, and the use of balances. During this period, he also needs to go to the library to borrow "Advanced Potions Making" and "Powerful Potion", the latter of which is in the forbidden book area. He saw it in the library during the day, and may need to ask Snape to approve a note.
"Potions have a longer history than wizards. According to legend, when the druids ruled this continent, the druids of the primitive tribes began to consciously use magical animal and plant materials, boil them, and then use them. Magic, to rescue patients..." Aristophanes recalled the history books and potion formulas he had read during his vacation, and quickly wrote them on the parchment.
　　 Early the next morning, in Snape's surprised gaze, he gave him the discussion he had written, and then went to eat on his own, and didn't care about the other things.
　　 In the following week, Aristophanes did his job as a teaching assistant step by step, and went to the library to read crazy in his spare time. It’s worth mentioning that in Friday’s Potions class, he saw Snape and Harry’s love and killing each other with his own eyes, and he successfully laughed out. An angry Snape asked him to treat the slug mucus that night. It's half past one.
