Chapter 189： Potions class full of flavor (2/2)

”Okay!” Fred suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, shaking the parchment in his hand excitedly.

”Is it really possible to get past this?” Shanna took the parchment and glanced at it, obviously not believing that this method could fool Snape.

”Definitely not, but Snape wouldn't say anything. There are a lot of essays worse than Fred.” Albert took the parchment from Shanna's hand and scanned the papers on it. Picked up a quill and helped him modify a few places.

...

Before the class bell rang, several people hurried to Snape's underground classroom, which was colder than the castle above, and there was a promise of chill in the air.

Of course, the gloomy chill might also come from Snape's gaze from the podium, especially after he glanced at the homework he received, his gaze fell directly on Albert.

”Today, we are going to formulate a very common potion, an herbicide.” Snape looked back and introduced the herbicide to everyone. ”This potion is used to kill or remove plants and is not drinkable. Of course, I also learned from I have never seen any idiot who would drink the herbicide. As for why, you will soon know.”

At that moment, Albert felt a malicious smile at the corner of Snape's mouth.

”...Note: If you put the ingredients sloppily, they will be in the cooking process... So you need to pay attention to your own steps, ingredients and cooking time...” Snape explained while writing on the blackboard with a magic wand When preparing the medicine, turn around and say to everyone, ”You have an hour, let's start!”

The herbicide does not have a disgusting taste at first, but if the ingredients are added to the crucible in a strict order and quantity, the crucible will begin to smell during the cooking process, and many people stretch their hands to cover their mouths nose.

As Albert said, the herbicide Snape asked them to formulate was not good at all, and the potions classroom was quickly filled with a disgusting smell.

”This is simply killing a thousand enemies and harming yourself eight hundred.” Albert took out his handkerchief, covered his mouth and nose after wetting it with water, and muttered softly.

I really don't understand how Snape could endure the smell of the herbicide.

Hey, why didn't I learn the Bubble Head Curse?

”Ah! It's disgusting, I feel like vomiting.” Fred retched toward his cauldron.

Lee Jordan murmured: ”I guess no one would want to use this stuff.”

”Isn't anyone trying to get rid of this smell?” George also followed Albert to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, while stirring the potion in the cauldron clockwise with a spoon.

”Eliminate the smell?”

Albert recalled the harvest after upgrading the potion boutique, and said, ”Add some grated daisy roots and nettles, maybe you can eliminate this smell.”

”Are you sure?” Fred didn't dare to change the formula at will, who knew what would happen if he did that.

”Just give it a try.” Albert took out the medicinal materials from his medicine box and began to grind the two materials according to a certain ratio.

In fact, Albert is not sure what will happen to this, but instinct tells him that this should be successful.

As for the mixing ratio, you need to try it yourself.

At this moment, the students in the potions classroom were all blushing with suffocated breath, and they wished to rush out of the potions classroom and find a place to breathe in fresh air, lest they would die here.

Before they put it into practice, they saw Snape waving his wand and sweeping away the terrible smell in the classroom.

Although the smell in the classroom is still strong, at least it won't let them suffocate.

Soon after, Snape appeared silently beside Albert, staring at the potion in the cauldron, and asked aloud: ”Anderson, tell me, what is in your cauldron?”

”Herbicide, sir.” Albert replied.

”Then why is your herbicide so weak?” Snape had noticed that Albert's herbicide had a weak smell, as if it had been diluted with water.

”Well, before I added 2 drops of Flobber caterpillar slime to the cauldron, I added some other things to it.” Albert explained, ”...so that the herbicide will not smell that bad.”

”You want to say that you improved the herbicide?” Snape's tone was light, but it was enough for the students in the classroom to hear clearly.

”I think so.” Albert said.

At this moment, everyone looked at Albert and began to whisper. Some people sneered, ready to watch Albert's jokes.

”Well, since Anderson thinks he has succeeded in improving the herbicide, then...” Snape waved his wand, wondering where he got a flower pot with some weeds on it.

Snape scooped up a spoonful of the herbicide, diluted it with water, and sprinkled the herbicide directly on the weeds.

After a few seconds, the weeds on the flowerpots turned yellow almost at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were exposed to the hot sun for too long and soon died.

There is no doubt that Albert successfully improved the herbicide.

Originally, the Slytherin student who wanted to see his jokes was full of disbelief, and some even pinched a friend around him severely, trying to make sure whether he was dreaming.

”Very good.” Snape stared at Albert viciously.

I don't know who took the lead in the applause. The students of Gryffindor also began to applaud, and the classroom was full of applause.

”Quiet.” Snape yelled.

The applause gradually stopped.

”Gryffindor deducts ten points.” Snape said coldly, ”Mr. Anderson, you seem to forget. I warned you last semester, don't do your **** experiments in my potions class.”

At this moment, the students of Gryffindor were shocked, but they were immediately replaced by anger.

If it were changed to another professor, it would not be too much to add 20 points, and Snape didn't add any points. He even found an excuse to deduct Gryffindor points.

”I think people don't like to use herbicides. The main reason is the taste of this medicine.” Albert didn't care about his demerit points and continued, ”Improved herbicides will definitely be popular with everyone. Maybe someone is willing to pay for this formula.”

”No one will pay for your formula~ Snape sneered.” Normally, no one would use herbicides at all. ”

”Then why should we learn to configure this potion?” Shanna raised her hand and asked.

”Quiet.” Snape was very annoyed by the girl's unauthorized questioning, but still answered her question, ”Sometimes, we use herbicides to deal with dangerous plants, or open up a clearing. No one else will. Spray it in the flower garden so that the flowers in the flower garden will also be killed by the herbicide.”

After Snape announced the end of get out of class, everyone packed their things as quickly as possible and quickly moved away from the potions classroom. No one wanted to stay in the classroom full of flavors.

”Do you really plan to sell the herbicide formula?” Fred felt like he was dreaming now.

”Sell, why not sell it?”

”You haven't seen the expression of the old bat just now.” George blinked at Albert and said excitedly, ”He was shocked.”
