Chapter 371 Scarpin Revealing Curse
Facts have proved that the saying "The unparalleled blessings will never be single" is truly true.
Before the Hogwarts people recovered from the news of Dumbledore's arrest, they were shocked by another news.
The prisoners of Azkaban collectively escaped from prison!
Mike held a newspaper in his hand, and there were ten black and white magic photos posted on it, nine of which were male witches, and the remaining one was a witch.
Some of them were laughing silently, while others were arrogantly tapping the borders of their photos with their fingers.
Their names and crimes committed are marked below each photo. Although the words written on it are just ordinary words, the meaning revealed in it reminds Mike one after another that all of them are evil people covered with blood on their hands!
And they also have a common crime, that is, they join Voldemort's Death Eaters to serve this Dark Lord!
And the most eye-catching of them is of course the only woman - Bellatrix Lesterlanch. Crime: torture torture Frank and Alice Longbottom, resulting in permanent disability...
Mike recognized the name almost instantly, Betatrix!
She was really the owner of the vault they had robbed in the Gringott before, and she was also the cousin of Sirius Black and the culprit who sent Neville's parents to St. Mungo.
Mike once saw Bellatrix when he was young, an extremely outstanding woman with a handsome face like Sirius.
Mike is not surprised that it is normal for the rich to look more beautiful than the next generation, because they can always marry the most beautiful girl. It is not surprising that Black's pure blood family, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is full of handsome men and beautiful women.
What surprised Mike the most was that Bellatrix now looks so different from before!
Judging from the photos, Bellatrixner's long black hair looked messy, and her thick eyelid eyes stared at Mike, as if she wanted to swallow Mike alive, but a hint of arrogant and contemptuous smile was found on her thin lips. From her eyebrows, Mike could even see some Sirius' shadows, but more, endless madness.
This must be the masterpiece of the dementors.
Those terrifying species that are annoying can always make people feel despair. If they live in such an environment for a long time, even if they force themselves to survive, they will be driven crazy.
Shaking his head, Mike continued to flip the newspaper, and what caught his eye was the detailed report of the Prophet Daily on this collective jailbreak.
"Azkabando escapes prison! What are Foggy and the Ministry of Magic doing?!"
After reading the title, Mike closed the newspaper because the following content was no longer necessary.
Mike could guess just by guessing that the following words must be all attacks on the Ministry of Magic.
I have to say that the behavior of the Prophet Daily is really good.
The current wizarding world in Ying Kingdom was already panicked by the news of Voldemort's return. At this time, the Death Eaters led by Bella escaped from prison again, which was really a bad news that could not be worse.
It is also good to ask them to scold the Ministry of Magic officials to relieve some anger.
But the biggest question now is, how should the panic among students in Hogwarts be resolved?
The students in Hogwarts are not all fools, and there are even many smart people in it. Although these people don’t say it, they actually admit in their hearts that Voldemort has returned!
Mike looked up at the others in the auditorium, and sure enough, he looked frightened when he saw everyone.
Especially Harry, now he can no longer be described as fear, and he is simply in a state of dismay.
He just went to Snape's office to take the first brain closure class last night. I think the experience last night must be not very good.
In addition, Quidditch is about to play recently and the training volume has increased greatly. Umbridge is also constantly looking for him. His current condition must be very bad.
Despite this, Mike didn't want to comfort him at all. On the contrary, he even immediately pulled Franklin out of the auditorium - class was about to begin!
What occupied Mike’s whole morning was Potion Class, which made many people look bad. After all, it’s not a good experience to get up in bed in the middle of winter to rush to the cold and wet basement.
But not everyone's face looked ugly. When Mike and others entered the Potion Class classroom, they found that Professor Snape, who was always a stinky face, was standing alone on the podium and laughing secretly.
Although the smile was quickly restrained, many people, including Mike, took this scene into consideration.
For a moment, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Snape was in a good mood, so their lives would be much better.
But only Mike thanked Harry secretly.
"Uh! Come back to your seat soon!"
Snape cleared his throat and said seriously. Hearing this, no one dared to continue watching him, and quickly returned to his seat.
"Franklin! Why is your tie crooked?" Snape suddenly roared, "I think you are trying to make a special purpose! Ravenclaw deducts five points!"
"I……"
Franklin was confused and murmured as if he wanted to refute, but at the last moment he held back and didn't continue.
Ever since Snape learned that the rumors between him and Umbridge were worn by Ravenclaw (Ron dared not betray Mike, only said that it was Ravenclaw's people). Snape has been trying to retaliate.
After being the target of the key attack for a long time, everyone in Ravenclaw also understood a truth: Don’t argue with Snape about the correctness of deductions, because in this way he will find reasons to deduct more points!
Therefore, Franklin was silent, staring at the desk with a frustration, with anger hidden in his eyes.
Snape on the podium felt a little disappointed when he saw Franklin but he didn't respond. He frowned and said to the students:
"What we are going to learn today is the Scarpin exoteric spell. If you preview the text as instructed, you should know that this is a spell that can analyze the ingredients of the potion. It is an extremely important spell for the entire potion science, because it can display the composition of the potion in front of you in a clear and magical way, so that you can analyze it more calmly, add or reduce certain ingredients. Therefore, the birth of almost any new formula from ancient times to the present 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 parse out those unique formulas and make a lot of money! I don’t recommend you to do this unless you want to spend the second half of your life in Azkaban. But I think this should be because I am over-concerned. After all, you are just a group of stupid monsters. With your brain, you may not be able to reverse the potion formula! Most of you may not even be able to release this spell, after all, this 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. After opening the box, he saw a small bottle of unknown liquid without any signs in the box.
"This is the life and dying water I configured myself! Your task today is to use the xx analysis method to completely analyze the ingredients list of this bottle of life and dying water!" Snape said in a strange tone, "I think your brain is the same as an apple, you should remember it clearly. So I added some other things to it. Before the get out of class is over, if anyone can't see what I added in it. Then...hehehe~"
Snape's speech ended with a creepy sneer. Although he did not say what would happen if he did not complete the task, everyone was very energetic and poured some of the bottle of special life and dying water into front of him as quickly as possible.
Then, many people began to scratch their heads. Most of these people had not previewed, because anyone who had previewed should find that the detailed casting steps of Scarpin's exoteric spell were printed on their textbook, the book "Advanced Potions".
Like them, Mike has not conducted any previews, but Mike has the help of Benjamin, a potion genius, so in fact, Mike has mastered the release skills of Scarpin's exoteric spell before this class.
I saw him poured some life and death water into a beaker like others, then took out his magic wand and waved it lightly at the beaker in an understatement.
Then, a magical scene happened.
All the transparent liquid in the beaker disappeared suddenly, and replaced by a thick fog.
The fog floated in front of Mike for a long time, and at the same time, the configuration of the fog in front of Mike automatically emerged in his mind:
Narcissus roots, mugwort…and the last one, lavender and frosting!
Mike's pupils suddenly magnified a little. At this moment, he really admired Snape's achievements in the path of magic potions.
He could actually think of adding lavender and frosting to the dying water to change the taste and smell of the dying water, turning it into a hypnotic drink with a lavender scent and sweet taste!
Moreover, according to the detection results of Scarpin's exoteric curse, the effect of this life and dying water was not weakened at all after adding these two materials. On the contrary, its hypnotic effect became stronger!
This is a bit scary!
You should know that potions can be said to be a rigorous science, and it is extremely difficult to improve those formulas that must be fixed!
But Snape actually just made an improved formula, and depending on the situation, it seemed that the formula was invented by himself!
"Professor," Mike said with his hands raised, "you added extra lavender and icing in it, right?"
Hearing this, Snape's expression became extremely ugly instantly. He stared at Mike blankly, and then nodded slowly after a while.
Now everyone else in the classroom was blown up.
Many of them tried it in the past time, but only Mike succeeded!
"Is this a genius? I'm stupid!"
"I'm stupid, but did you see Snape's expression just now? I feel that he is really stupid! But this is too funny. Snape said that we can't make the reverse push formula, so Mike pushed the formula backward, hahaha!"
Listening to the whispers coming from around, Mike's eyebrows frowned again.
He found that what Snape just said was actually correct in a sense.
Some of the students in this classroom are really trolls' heads, and they even think they have introduced the recipe for life and death.
Such people are really stupid, because they don't even know what the effect of the Scarpin exoteric curse and the essence of the potion formula is.
You should know that a complete potion recipe is not just a ingredient list, but it must also be marked with some clearly on the process of making this potion and what may happen.
However, the Scarpin exoteric curse can only analyze the most basic ingredients list, so it is indeed extremely difficult to reversely recommend the potion formula.
Snape also heard the whispers of those people, and his face turned darker in an instant.
The students who were talking in a low voice also noticed Snape's expression and immediately closed their mouths.
It’s a pity that it’s too late!
"You two, you will be in jail tonight!" Snape shouted, "In addition, Hufflepuff deducted 10 points because he made a big fuss in class!"
The two of them were obviously old-fashioned, and did not continue to chat with Snape, but instead imposed a punishment by default.
Franklin, who was standing beside him, laughed secretly when he saw this, but unfortunately he was named by Snape again before he was happy.
At this point, Snape finally let out anger and began to explain the tricks about the xx observation method. As for the first time Mike's analysis of successful results, Snape completely ignored it.
After class, Franklin immediately regained his spirits, grabbed his schoolbag and ran out of the basement, so he was deducted five points by Snape, because 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 did not slow down at all.
Mike also knew why Franklin was so anxious. The first official Quidditch match of this year was about to begin at noon today. The two sides were the two old enemies, Slytherin College and Gryffindor College.
As an avid Quidditch fan, Franklin naturally cannot be spared in such a game.
Shaking his head, Mike packed up his things and walked out the door.
Of course, he wasn't going to watch Quidditch games, and he wasn't interested in that kind of sport.
Chapter completed!
