The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 164 Veritaserum (Part 1)

At Hogwarts at the end of January, the previous cold weather gradually eased.

They no longer need to wear several thick padded jackets every day, and go to class on ice skates every morning.

Rubeus Hagrid is back in Care of Fantastic Beasts, although he still doesn't look too good... but he continues Professor Graplan's lesson on unicorns; perhaps he wants to prove that Professor Graplan can do Hagrid can do whatever he wants!

In Hagrid's first Care of Fantastic Creatures class when he came back, he actually brought two baby unicorns with him.

"It's not easy to convince their parents to let me bring them here!" Hagrid said carelessly.

Seeing these unicorn cubs, many girls almost went crazy with joy, and Jon noticed that Astoria never took his eyes off a unicorn cub.

The word "cute" can be used to describe the cubs of almost all animals, and the cubs of unicorns are undoubtedly the best among them. Their outer skin presents a kind of comfortable golden color; The hair has not yet grown, and it should be fluffy and comfortable to the touch.

"They turn silver at about two years old and horns at about four years old. They don't turn pure white until they are adults, and that's about seven years old!" Hagrid introduced in his loud voice, while holding a A piece of ice flakes was sent to them:

"You can give them sugar, they like it very much..."

It's a bit like Dumbledore, Jon thought to himself as he quietly approached the one Astoria was holding.

The golden unicorn was licking the candy in Astoria's hand.

Jon wanted to lean in and touch it.

As a result, as soon as his hand touched the unicorn, the cub let out an ugly scream.

"Don't hurt it!" Astoria glared at him, then quickly turned around and moved the unicorn out of Jon's reach.

...

Hagrid seemed to have shaken off the news, and Rita Skeeter was banned from Hogwarts.

Jon didn't dislike this fast-flying western reporter.

Because in the news on the Daily Prophet, she hardly mentioned a word about her own existence... That is to say, most wizards don't know that Hogwarts in the Triwizard Tournament actually has Jon- Hart is the second player.

But Jon is still very careful, and often looks around to see if there is a beetle...

He didn't want to hear big news from Rita Skeeter.

...

As the date of February 24th got closer, the students' discussions on the second project became more and more heated.

"The content of the first project is a fire dragon, so what should the second project be... to deal with a phoenix?"

"It may also be to deal with a group of acromant spiders. I heard that there is a large-scale acromant spider breeding base hidden in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts!"

"Why do you always think of Fantastic Beasts? Why can't the four contestants each find a referee to duel...Mr. Crouch is sick, and there are four referees left!"

Harry Potter was going crazy, especially since he already knew what the second item was about.

He played happily for more than a month before Christmas, and after Christmas, he was sad for more than a month because of "broken love", and what happened to Hagrid later... He didn't think of Joan until a week ago. Eun told him that message and brought the golden egg to the bathroom...

Although he already understood that the content of the second project was to find something at the bottom of Lake Hogsmeade, but he, Ron, and Hermione had searched the library all over the past few days, but they couldn't find one that could help him find something at the bottom of Lake Hogsmeade. Under the breath mantra.

He regrets it so much now... why didn't he start delving into the clues that the golden egg gave earlier; why did he miss class, maybe some teacher once mentioned how to breathe underwater?

"Maybe you can ask Jon, he may have figured out a way!" Hermione put down a copy of "Forgotten Ancient Magic and Spells" and suggested.

"No!" It was Ron who spoke first: "He is a competitor with Harry, how could he be kind enough to help him!"

"Yes, I won't ask him!" Harry also nodded, obviously his self-esteem would not allow him to do such a thing.

...

Jon Hart is in the Room of Requirement at this time.

Like Harry, he had long since put the second project behind him.

Because at the beginning of December last year, he wrote to the potion material store in Diagon Alley to buy the gills, and he even bought a few more just in case. The price is quite expensive, an ounce of gillswort costs five Galleons.

Recently, Jon's attention has been focused on potions.

In the crucible in front of him, the purple-green solution was constantly vibrating, and this was the initial solution of Veritaserum.

It was also Jon's hard work in the past half month... In the past one and a half months, Jon failed twice.

According to Snape's list, Veritaserum was a potion of Group IIA, but the exact number of cycles depended on the owner who configured it.

Jon had to choose to try from scratch.

The attempts of the first cycle and the second cycle have failed. With Jon's experience, it is not the reason of the configuration process, but the sequence mismatch.

Today I want to try the third cycle of Group IIA, Sequence 20, title "Rock".

Jon has already memorized the method content of each sequence by heart.

He carefully took out a tenth of an ounce of soundless bird feathers, and carefully added them to the cauldron. This is the theoretical configuration method of Veritaserum.

Bubbles started to bubble up in the crucible, and the feathers of the soundless bird seemed to be insoluble in the purple-green potion, and began to settle to the bottom of the crucible little by little.

This is why Jon has tried so many times before and failed.

If the potion sequence is selected correctly, the feathers of the sound bird will melt into the solution, making the whole solution transparent; if the selection is wrong, the feathers of the sound bird will completely sink to the bottom, and finally the whole solution will turn into a black paste.

Jon produced a teaspoon with a little dolomite dust on it.

Very carefully, I poured a little bit of it into the crucible... The feathers of the soundless bird that settled down seemed to be integrated with the dolomite powder and disappeared.

But Jon didn't relax in the slightest... because the method of Sequence 20 requires extreme patience, the dolomite powder can only be added when there is precipitation of the sound bird's feathers at the bottom of the crucible, and the amount of the two must be strictly matched.

If you add less, as long as a little of the feathers of the sound bird are burned into a black paste, all the potions in the crucible will be abolished; if you add too much, the dolomite powder will prevent the feathers of the sound bird from settling, and the solution will only maintain the status quo. Several solutes failed until ten minutes later.

Jon's breathing gradually became tense——
