Vol 2 Chapter 462: 3 questions

Looking at the figure walking from the door--
"Gosh!" Ginny Weasley covered her mouth and couldn't help muttering, "How come!"
She was not the only one who made such a reaction...
Because the elder who appeared from the door, all of them were very familiar...but they were completely unexpected.
"Why is it Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny couldn't help but leaned to Luna's ear and asked in a low voice.
Many people present had the same questions as her, but Luna Lovegood seemed not to be among them.
"Because Professor Dumbledore is the principal!" Luna said as expected, without any surprise on her face: "Is there anything weird about this?"
"Forget it, I can't tell you." Ginny stuck her tongue out and turned her head.
And Albus Dumbledore had already strode to the podium at this time.
...
"I know many of you will be surprised..." Professor Dumbledore's voice was only slightly higher than a whisper, but the whole class could hear every word he said: "After all, yours The potions teacher, after just a short Christmas, the lovable Professor Horace Slughorn suddenly became a bad old man like me..."
There was a murmur of laughter among the students, but as Dumbledore looked up, the laughter stopped abruptly.
"Of course I can assure you... for up to two months, I will return Horace to you intact!" Dumbledore explained with a smile, "But at this stage I want to find a temporary substitute. A month old potions teacher is indeed a very difficult thing."
"As most people think, your Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Severus Snape, is theoretically a suitable candidate...but Severus has too many things to be busy during this time. I refused my invitation!" Dumbledore paused and continued: "So as a last resort, I can only take this place temporarily!"
"Of course, I'm not sure if I will be a suitable candidate for this position!"
There was a short opening remark, with Albus Dumbledore's unique sense of humor... The students of the four colleges present all pricked their ears, listening carefully to the voices from the podium, even those The Slytherin students who pretended to be "dismissive" were no exception.
No one takes Professor Dumbledore’s last words to heart... Any student who knows Albus Dumbledore a little bit will know very well: The Hogwarts principal’s greatest deeds in his life, except resistance In addition to the two Dark Lords successively, he discovered twelve uses of dragon blood-that is the content of the deepest potion.
Looking at these nervous and curious eyes, Dumbledore said politely: "I think your two potions teachers have mentioned to you, the reason why you came here is It is to learn the precise science and rigorous craftsmanship of potion preparation... Regarding potions, they are complex, mysterious, and wonderful, with countless hazy veils hanging around them; and all we need to do is to push aside them. Layers of veils... Then, can anyone tell me what is a potion?"
The whole classroom suddenly fell into silence.
It wasn't for any other reason...but simply because the question Dumbledore raised was too simple.
Ginny and Luna looked at each other, but someone else had already raised their hands first.
"Very well, Miss Pobin, you will answer this question."
The one named by Dumbledore was Melinda Pobin, a beautiful Ravenclaw girl.
"Professor Snape taught us..." Bobin raised his head and replied confidently: "Potions are potions made by magic... They can help us increase our reputation, brew glory, and even prevent death... "
After answering, she quietly glanced at Albus Dumbledore.
However, Professor Dumbledore did not agree with her answer for a while, nor did he object to it.
He just smiled and said: "A fairly standard answer. I can't say that there is any error in your answer... But I must point out that if you think that a potion is just a potion made by magic, it is a kind of Quite a narrow view."
Melinda Bobbin was there, apparently at a loss.
But Albus Dumbledore came to her, patted her on the shoulder, and realized she was sitting down.
"Then let's change another question!" Dumbledore did not continue to look at Melanda-Bobbin, but asked again: "If we need a potent antidote in a very urgent situation, then we best The choice is... very good, Miss Weasley, you will answer this question."
Ginny Weasley was the first to raise her hand this time, and she raised her hand high before Dumbledore's voice was over.
"Bezoar can be used, Professor Dumbledore!" Ginny said without hesitation.
Obviously, this is also the answer Dumbledore wanted: "Very good, a piece of bezoar can detoxify many complex poisons... Gryffindor adds five points."
As he spoke, Dumbledore waved Ginny to sit down.
"What is bezoar? It is a kind of stone taken from the stomach of a cow... More precisely ~EbookFREE.me~ is a kind of stone produced in the liver and gallbladder of a cow..." Dumbledore Continued: "This is a very practical potion, but unfortunately, it does not require any kind of magic to be created."
The whole classroom fell into silence again, and everyone was savoring what Dumbledore had just said.
"Of course, I'm not dismantling your former potions teacher's desk, but I have to say that if you think that potions are just potions made by magic, that's a pretty narrow view!" Dumbledore said on his face. The expression gradually became serious: "In fact, even in many Muggles drugs, bezoar is frequently used..."
Dumbledore only briefly mentioned a Muggle, and stopped abruptly.
"Then we come to the next question...Miss Weasley!"
Ginny Weasley stood up confidently again.
"Since we know that bezoar is a powerful antidote... Then, why can it detoxify the poison?" Dumbledore smiled mysteriously, and then asked.
