Facts have proved that the old saying from an ancient eastern country is truly true.
The people at Hogwarts hadn't recovered from the news of Dumbledore's arrest, they were shocked by another news.
The prisoners of Azkaban escaped collectively!
Mike is holding a newspaper with ten black-and-white photos of magic posted on it, nine of which are wizards and the remaining one is a witch.
Some of them are laughing silently, and some are arrogantly tapping the borders of their photos with their fingers.
The bottom of each photo is marked with their names and crimes committed. Although they are just plain text, the meaning revealed in them reminds Mike side by side that none of them are any. Not a villain with blood on his hands!
And they also have a common crime, that is, the Death Eaters who joined Voldemort to serve the Dark Lord!
And the most eye-catching of them is of course the only woman-Bellatrix Lestrange. Charges: Torture tortured Frank and Alice Longbottom, causing them to be permanently disabled...
Mike recognized the name almost instantly, Betatrix!
She is really the owner of the vault in Gringotts they robbed before, and she is also the cousin of Sirius Black, and the culprit who sent Neville's parents to Saint Mungo.
Mike had seen Bellatrix when he was young. She was an extremely outstanding woman with a beautiful face like Sirius.
Mike is not surprised by this. It is normal for rich people to look more beautiful than one generation, because they can always marry the most beautiful girl. It is not surprising that a pure-blooded family like Blake is full of handsome men and beautiful women for thousands of years. .
What surprised Mike most is that Bellatrix now looks so much different from before!
Judging from the photo, Bellatrix's long black hair looked unkempt, her thick eyelid eyes stared at Mike, as if she wanted to eat Mike alive, but a trace was found on her thin lips. With an arrogant and contemptuous smile, Mike could even see some Sirius's shadow in her eyebrows, but more, it was endless madness.
This must be a masterpiece of dementors.
Those terrible and terrible species can always make people feel desperate, and living in such an environment for a long time, human beings will be driven crazy even if they survive.
shook his head, Mike continued to flip through the newspaper, and he was greeted by the detailed report of the Daily Prophet on the collective escape.
"Azkaban multiplayer escape! What are Fudge and the Ministry of Magic doing? ! 》
Mike closed the newspaper after only reading a headline, because the following content is no longer necessary.
Mike can guess that the following words must be all attacks on the Ministry of Magic.
I have to say that the behavior of the Daily Prophet is really good.
The present-day world of wizarding wizards was panicked by the news of Voldemort's return. At this time, a group of Death Eaters headed by Bella escaped from prison again, which is really bad news that cannot be bad.
At this time, it is good for them to scold the officials of the Ministry of Magic to eliminate some anger.
But the biggest question now is, how should the panic among the students in Hogwarts be resolved?
The students in Hogwarts are not all stupid, and there are even a lot of smart people in it. Although these people don't say anything, they actually admitted in their hearts that Voldemort has returned!
Mike raised his head to look at the others in the auditorium, and as expected, he saw everyone panicking.
Especially Harry, now he can no longer be described with horror, he is simply lost.
He just went to Snape's office for the first Occidental Cerebral surgery class last night, and it must have been a bad experience last night.
Coupled with the recent Quidditch match, the amount of training has increased greatly. Umbridge is also constantly finding fault with him. He must be in a bad state now.
Despite this, Mike didn't mean to comfort him at all. On the contrary, he even immediately pulled Franklin out of the auditorium-it was about to go to class!
The potions class that occupied Mike for the whole morning today made many people's faces unsightly. After all, it was not a good experience to rush to the cold and humid basement in the winter.
But not everyone's face is very ugly. When Mike and the others entered the potions classroom, they discovered that Professor Snape, who was always a stinky face, was standing alone on the podium and laughing.
Although the smile was quickly reduced, many people, including Mike, saw this scene in their eyes.
For a while, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Snape was in a good mood, so their life would be much better.
And only Mike thanked Harry secretly.
"Huh! Hurry up and get back to your seat!"
Snape cleared his throat and said solemnly. Hearing this, everyone didn't dare to continue watching him, and quickly returned to his seat.
"Franklin! Why is your tie crooked!?" Snape suddenly roared, "I think you deliberately wanted to be special! Ravenclaw deducted five points!"
"I……"
Franklin looked dumbfounded, and murmured as if he wanted to refute, but at the last minute he held back and did not say anything.
Since Snape learned that the rumor in the school between him and Umbridge came from Ravenclaw (Ron didn’t dare to betray Mike, he only said that the people at Ravenclaw said) After that, Snape had been trying to get revenge.
After being targeted for a long time, everyone in Ravenclaw also understood a truth. Don't argue with Snape about the correctness of the deduction, because he will find you to deduct more points!
Therefore, Franklin was silent, and he stared at the desk with a frustrated expression, his anger hidden in his eyes.
And Snape on the podium was a little disappointed when he saw that Franklin hadn't even responded. He frowned and said to the students:
"What we are going to learn today is the Skarpin Mantra. If you preview the text as instructed, you should know that this is a spell that can analyze the composition of potions. It is an extremely important spell for the entire potion. , Because it can display the composition of the potion in front of you in a clear and magical way, allowing you to analyze it more calmly, to add or reduce certain ingredients. Therefore, almost any new formula has been born throughout the ages. It is closely related to it.
Of course, it has another function, which is to reverse the potion formula! Many people have done this in history. They parsed out those unique formulas and made a lot of money! I do not recommend you to do this unless you want to spend the rest of your life in Azkaban. But I think this should be something I worry about. After all, you are just a bunch of stupid monsters. With your brain, I am afraid that you can't do things like reverse potion formula! Most of you may not even be able to release this curse, after all, it is too difficult for you. So, now, please open the wooden box in front of you! "
Snape sprayed venom on everyone without any scruples, but everyone had been accustomed to Snape's way of speaking for so many years, and directly ignored the ugly words inside. Hearing Ling opened the box and saw the box. There is a small bottle of unidentified liquid without any label.
"This is the life and death water that I personally configured! Your task today is to use the analysis method to completely analyze the ingredient list of this bottle of life and death water!" Snape said in a strange tone, "I think the formula of life and death water Even if your brain is only the size of an apple, you should remember it clearly. So I added some other things in it. Before the get out of class is over, if anyone can't tell what I added in it. Then...hehehe~"
Snape's speech ended with a terrifying sneer. Although he didn't clearly say what he would end up if he didn't complete the task, everyone raised the spirit of twelve points and took that as fast as he could. The bottle of special life and death water poured some in front of him.
Afterwards, many people began to scratch their heads and ears. Most of these people have not previewed, because as long as they have previewed, they should find that the detailed steps of Skapin’s Mantra are printed in their textbook" "Higher Potions".
Mike did not have any previews like them, but Mike had the help of the potion genius of Benjamin, so Mike had actually mastered the release skills of Skapin's Mantra before this class.
I saw him pour some life and death water into a beaker just like everyone else, then took out the wand, and lightly waved it at the beaker.
Then, a magical scene happened.
The transparent liquid in the beaker disappeared quickly, and replaced by a thick mist.
This cloud of fog floated in front of Mike for a long time, and at the same time, Mike’s mind automatically showed the configuration of the fog in front of him:
Narcissus root, wormwood... and the last one, lavender and icing sugar!
Mike's pupils suddenly enlarged a bit, and at this moment he really admired Snape's accomplishments on the potion journey.
He could even think of adding lavender and icing sugar to the life and death water to change the taste and smell of the life and death water, making it a hypnotic drink with lavender fragrance and sweetness!
And according to the test results of Skarpin's Mantra, after adding these two materials, the effectiveness of this pair of dead water has not been weakened, on the contrary, its hypnotic effect has become stronger!
This is a little scary!
You must know that potions can be said to be a rigorous science. It is extremely difficult to improve those formulas that must be fixed!
Snape turned out to be an improved formula at hand, and depending on the situation, the formula seemed to be invented by himself!
"Professor," Mike said, raising his hand, "You added extra lavender and icing sugar, right?"
Hearing that Snape's expression became extremely ugly in an instant, he stared at Mike blankly, and nodded slowly after a while.
Now everyone else in the classroom has exploded.
Many of them tried it just now, but only Mike succeeded!
"Is this a genius? I'm stupid!"
"I'm stupid too, but did you see Snape's expression just now? I think he is really stupid! But this is too funny, Snape said on the front foot that we can't make the reverse formula. Mike on the back foot pushed out the formula, hahaha!"
Listening to the whispers coming from around, Mike's eyebrows wrinkled together again.
He found that what Snape said just now was actually correct in a certain sense.
Some students in this classroom are really monster heads, and they even think that they have come up with the formula for life and death.
This kind of person is really stupid, because they don't even know the role of the Skapin Mantra and the essence of the potion formula.
You must know that a complete potion formula is not just a list of ingredients, it must also be clearly marked on the process of making this potion and what may happen.
But Skarping Mantra can only parse out the most basic ingredient list, so it is indeed extremely difficult to reverse the formula of the potion.
Snape also heard the whispers of those people, and his face instantly became darker.
And the few students who were talking quietly also noticed Snape's expression and immediately closed their mouths.
It's a pity ~ EbookFREE.me~ it's too late!
"You two, put in confinement tonight!" Snape shouted, "In addition, Hufflepuff deducted 10 points because of a loud noise in class!"
Those two were obviously old fritters too, and did not continue to chat with Snape, but tacitly acquiesced in punishment.
Franklin on the side also snickered when he saw this, but it was a pity that he hadn't been happy long before he was called by Snape again.
At this point, Snape finally took a breath and began to explain the tricks of the observation method. As for Mike's first successful analysis, Snape completely ignored it.
After class, Franklin immediately regained his energy, grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the basement, so he was deducted five points by Snape on the grounds that the students were not allowed to run in the corridor.
But Franklin obviously didn't care about this, Mike even suspected that he didn't even hear Snape's voice, because his running speed didn't slow down at all.
The reason why Franklin is so anxious Mike also knows. The first official Quidditch game of this year is about to begin at noon today. The two opponents are the old enemies of Slytherin College and Gryffindor College.
As an avid Quidditch fan, Franklin couldn’t let go of such a game.
shook his head, Mike also packed his things and walked out the door.
Of course, he didn't go to watch Quidditch games, he was not interested in that kind of sport.
There is only one destination for Mike, and that is Professor Flitwick’s office.
