Chapter 43: Wolfsbane Potion

What surprised John was.

New week, stepping into the Potions classroom again.

Professor Snape actually didn't make things difficult for him because of last weekend's incident.

Just targeted him as usual.

Tsk, how come this statement feels weird?

Unsurprisingly, the content of this class was knowledge about a potent potion.

Some potions, because the medicinal properties are too strong, taking them directly will cause harm to the human body because the human body cannot bear the medicinal power.

But there are no other alternative potions.

So at this time, some operations are needed that can dilute the medicinal power without causing the potion to fail.

John thought of the matter of being left behind to deal with slugs last week first.

Naturally thought of using slug mucus to dilute the medicinal power of the potion.

But adding it directly would destroy the medicinal properties of the potion.

So it is necessary to dilute some potent materials in advance during refining, or reduce the reaction between materials by adding them separately.

This time, John finally perfectly completed Snape's task in class.

Snape rarely didn't mock him and gave him a full score.

But after class, he was still left behind to do dirty work...

John seemed to have guessed Professor Snape's meaning.

Is this to cultivate him?

But that dead tsundere wouldn't say it clearly like Professor McGonagall, but instead used this way of punishing people to teach him some rare knowledge points.

And by relying on these "punishments," disguisedly improved John's ability to handle materials.

But John wasn't very sure; he didn't know Professor Snape very well; what if he was being self-indulgent?

He couldn't think of a reason for Professor Snape to do this.

When he came to his house to deliver the admission notice, he was still indifferent.

So John chose to remain unchanged to cope with all changes, temporarily following Professor Snape's arrangements.

After all, learning more things is not bad.

At night, John came to the Potions classroom as scheduled.

This time Professor Snape was also here.

"Good evening Professor, you haven't left yet."

It's strange to say.

After the small conflict with Professor Snape last time, John didn't feel any distance from Professor Snape.

Speaking carelessly.

Maybe it's because he felt that even the words of spraying each other were said, so there was nothing that couldn't be said.

However, Professor Snape didn't seem to think so.

He didn't even look at John, just continued his potion work.

John didn't care either, picked up the iron bucket on the side, looked inside, and it was dense animal internal organs.

Today's work is not difficult to say, nor is it simple to say.

It's just that John needs to clean these internal organs and store them separately.

The internal organs in the iron bucket exuded a foul fishy smell, full of scarlet blood.

Maybe he was somewhat used to it.

John didn't complain either, according to the content of the book, handled them one by one, nothing more than bleeding and washing clean, and picking out some minced meat.

For John, it wasn't really a difficulty.

It's just that after handling it, his hands were full of meat foam and blood, and there was a fishy smell that couldn't be dispersed.

John's nose suddenly twitched, smelling a more unpleasant smell.

It didn't come from his side, but from Professor Snape's side.

It seemed to be the stench emitted by the potion he was refining.

"Yue, Professor, did your potion refining fail? So unpleasant."

John teased without taboo, not worrying at all about whether it would hurt Snape's self-esteem.

However, facing John's teasing, Snape let out a mocking cold laugh.

"Ignorant."

Snape waved his hand, and the potion in the cauldron in front of him flew out as a stream of water, and finally flowed into the bottle he had prepared.

It can be seen that even after being stored in the bottle, the brown liquid was still bubbling.

"Wolfsbane Potion."

"This is a top-level potion you will never be able to make in your life."

"Its medicinal effect can even suppress the madness state after a werewolf transforms."

"Any bottle is something you can't afford."

Snape said coldly while covering the bottle, actually saying it to John.

?

No, you introduce it, why mock me?

John complained speechlessly in his heart.

The word werewolf, John naturally had heard of it.

Every full moon, a werewolf is an uncontrollable transformation, turning into a monster that only knows how to kill.

They are not only strong individually, but the most terrible thing is the wolfsbane they carry in their bodies.

Once scratched or bitten by a werewolf, there is a possibility of being infected with wolfsbane.

Becoming a new werewolf.

The wizarding world is full of malice and prejudice against werewolves; after all, it is an extremely unstable individual, and few people are willing to accept werewolves.

Just like AIDS in the Muggle world, although everyone is saying that AIDS will not be transmitted under normal circumstances, and everyone is trying to accept it.

But it is hard not to be disgusted in the heart, fearing one ten thousandth, that one is infected, or family and friends are infected.

But come to think of it, what is the professor refining this potion for...

"Professor, are you refining this potion... to sell?"

John asked tentatively.

You know, although Wolfsbane Potion is very powerful, it is also very expensive.

The werewolves who really need it often can't afford it, so basically no one will refine this thing.

Snape was already packing things, but hearing John's question, it seemed he remembered something.

Showed a creepy smile at John.

"No, this is prepared for a certain professor."

"???"

Damn it, I want to drop out!

Hogwarts is actually playing werewolf games in school?

For someone like him who is kept behind after class from time to time, isn't the road back at night dangerous to explode!?

Seeing John's face change significantly, a triumphant smile appeared on Snape's face.

Soon Snape packed things and left with a wave of his black robe.

But paused at the door, as if remembering something.

"The essence of animal internal organs often needs to be artificially refined to be stimulated."

After saying this tiger-headed snake-tailed sentence, Snape walked away without looking back.

No, either you don't teach, or you teach thoroughly.

Why can't you finish saying how to refine it together.

John was already used to the knowledge points left by Snape every time he left.

But now he cared more about who the professor Snape was talking about.

Actually, it's not hard to guess.

The only new professor at Hogwarts this year is Professor Lupin.

Plus the first time he saw Professor Lupin, his thin figure, and sickly demeanor, and the old clothes full of patches.

All were very consistent with the situation of werewolves struggling to survive in this society.

John scratched his head.

Finally sighed.

If this werewolf were an unfamiliar professor, John would definitely report it.

But Professor Lupin...

Forget it.

John had a good impression of Professor Lupin; he was simply the reliable adult in John's ideal, as if he could resolve all crises.

Becoming a werewolf was probably not his wish either.

Since Hogwarts dared to let him in, it must be prepared.

For example, Professor Snape refining Wolfsbane Potion for him to suppress the madness state of werewolf transformation.

John decided to observe again. ===== CHAPTER 44 =====
