Chapter 68 Examination (Revised)
After bidding farewell to Harry, Allen strode towards Professor Snape's office.
Knocking on the door, Allen waited patiently for a while, and the door suddenly opened. Professor Snape, with his greasy hair on his head, looked at Allen gloomyly. If Allen is not psychologically good, it is really easy to be intimidated. In fact, Professor Snape was also very surprised at this time, basically no student would take the initiative to come to his office, even Slytherin.
"I'm sorry to bother you, Professor Snape, I have some questions about potions to ask you." Allen was very polite, and he was not at all moved by Professor Snape who exuded a terrifying aura.
"Come in." Professor Snape stared at Allen for a while, then moved away.
Allen walked into Professor Snape's office lightly, and saw the walls were dim, and there were many large glass jars on the shelves along the wall, and all kinds of disgusting things were floating in the jars. Professor Snape sat behind the desk and motioned Allen to sit down.
"Professor, I have some different ideas about palliative potions." Without wasting Professor Snape's time, Allen expressed his thoughts on the improvement of palliative potions.
"How dare you? A first-year freshman who wants to configure the potion that will appear in the O.W.Ls exam, and even improve it? Alan, I thought you were a rare student with a clear mind in the school. I noticed that you would occasionally talk to With Mr. Harry Potter, it seems that he has infected him with the habit of arrogance." Professor Snape obviously did not believe that Allen would have such a pharmaceutical level.
Alan was not discouraged, he briefly introduced his improvement measures to Professor Snape in a few words. Professor Snape wanted to drive Alan away, but after hearing Alan's thoughts, he stopped thinking about driving him away.
"So, professor, my moonstone powder and hellebore essence syrup have been used up in the experiment, but the new herb didn't arrive in the mail so quickly, I need your help." Alan pushed the boat along and said his own ask.
"Okay, Mr. Alan Harris, if your configuration method is as superb as your idea." Professor Snape actually agreed.
Professor Snape walked to the locker, but to Allen's surprise, the locker was easily opened by Professor Snape without any magic to dispel the spell. Allen observed quietly, and found that various medicinal materials were stored in different categories, but none of the extremely precious medicinal materials that Allen saw in the books were there. Allen knew in his heart that Professor Snape must have a secret locker to store precious medicinal materials, otherwise, as a master of potions, it would be too shabby to only have these basic and relatively rare medicinal materials.
Professor Snape took out moonstone powder and hellebore essence syrup that can be used to make palliative potions from the storage compartment neatly, and he handed these two medicinal materials to Alan. After Allen saluted again to thank the professor, Allen quickly left Professor Snape's office.
Before leaving, he glanced suspiciously at the disgusting glass jars in various shapes. If he guessed correctly, there must be another mystery behind that shelf. However, this trip is only to obtain medicinal materials to treat Harry, there is no need to cause trouble and explore other people's secrets.
Fortunately, Alan informed Harry and the others immediately after getting the medicinal materials. Before they had time to steal the medicine, they made an appointment for a meeting time and place, and Alan went to the Room of Requirement to configure the medicine.
In any case, Harry's palliative potion was finally successfully prepared under Alan's careful debugging. Under normal conditions, palliative medicine can calm down and relieve irritability and anxiety. If the ingredients are taken in excess, the user falls into a drowsy, sometimes irreversible lethargy. The preparation of this drug was the most difficult and labor-intensive thing. It often appears in O.W.Ls exams. The most important ingredients of this potion are moonstone powder and hellebore syrup.
If prepared according to conventional palliatives,
Naturally, Harry's symptoms cannot be completely relieved, and taking too much of it has side effects. According to the records in the potion master Huerto's book, Allen added Mortra rat juice for pain relief; absinthe and aconite, which was originally highly poisonous, to assist in neutralization; finally, some capsicum was added Powder made from unicorn horn kindly provided by Ya.
In the pumpkin patch behind Hagrid's hut, when Allen brought the prepared potion to Harry, Ron and Hermione looked skeptical, could the potion with such a strange color and such an unpleasant smell really heal Harry? ? Especially when Hermione said that she had never seen such a strange potion in any book, Ron hesitated to speak.
Harry took the potion from Alan's hand very readily, and killed it in one gulp. Headaches and nightmares were crippling him. "It's just..." Harry frowned, the expression on his face indescribable.
In this regard, Alan was already prepared, took out an empty cup and used clear spring water on it, and then handed it to Harry. Allen smiled and said gently: "Although this is the first time I have prepared this potion, don't worry, there will be no problem."
Ron and Hermione looked at each other when they heard this. Harry's expression really didn't look like he had no problems, his facial features were almost knotted.
A large glass of water was gulped down by Harry. Harry was pleasantly surprised to find that although Alan's potion had a strange color and an amazing taste, it was indeed very effective. The headache that had troubled him for a long time disappeared without a trace, and his mind was clear, as if a pair of cool hands were soothing the wound left before.
"Thank you, Ellen, I feel better!" Harry sincerely thanked. Ron and Hermione also looked at Harry and Allen excitedly, and they felt that their cognition had been refreshed again.
Without the shackles of headaches and nightmares, Harry devoted himself to the intense review, and Alan continued to study the books in his hands, digesting, absorbing, and turning the knowledge into his own use. The closer to the exam, the hotter the weather. The hot sun, which is rare in northern Scotland, makes the little wizards slump. Of course, this is also due to the exam questions. Roasting in the sky and taking exams on the ground made the little wizards restless.
Fortunately, the large classroom for the exam has a constant temperature function, otherwise it would be really difficult.
The practical exam for Charms was so much fun that Professor Flitwick had them walk into the room one by one to see if they could get a pineapple to tap dance across a desk.
Allen was the first student to be called into the classroom. Upon hearing Professor Flitwick's request, he burst into a mischievous smile. His pineapple had grown two feet, and he was wearing tap shoes. There were friction and slaps on the table, making various kicking sounds. The beat rhythm of this pineapple's feet is complex and changeable, and with its orange-yellow, chubby body, it jumps and is very humorous.
Professor Flitwick smiled and praised loudly: "It's great, Alan! Impeccable, full marks!" Alan also smiled and bowed to this lovely professor.
When Allen opened the door and went out, many students were looking around, and they all heard Professor Flitwick's excited cry just now. Looking at Alan's appearance, it seems that the practical test of the Charms class is not difficult. When they went in to operate, Professor Flitwick, who was amazed by Allen's performance, looked calm. He had seen the best ones, and other students' operations could always be picked out for various flaws. So, the young wizards who entered with confidence left the examination room one by one with sad faces.
Professor McGonagall watched as they turned a mouse into a snuffbox - the more elegant the box, the higher the points; points were deducted if the mouse's whiskers were still on the box.
Allen had no difficulty in turning a mouse into a snuffbox, almost instantaneously, but it was not so easy to make a snuffbox exquisite.
He has never seen a few snuffboxes in his two lifetimes combined, and for Allen, it is the greatest thing to turn a gray, blunt mouse into a snuffbox, a finely crafted British art treasure. difficulty.
Allen first turned the mouse into a high-quality, gray oval box, and then began to change the pattern. The mouse's eyes turned into two extremely shiny obsidian, its beard formed the name of the school - Hogwarts, and its tail became a waist chain style... It seems that Professor McGonagall is quite satisfied. Allen left the examination room confidently, leaving behind a lot of envy and hatred.
During the potion test, the little wizards tried their best to remember the procedure of mixing the forgotten potion. Professor Snape stood behind them watching closely, and they could feel his breath on the back of their necks, which made them very nervous. Allen prepared the potion very easily. This kind of difficult potion preparation is simply a sub-question for Allen now.
