Chapter 4095 Chapter 4097 [Fiery Potion]
“Severus, you are awesome!” Lily said with admiration.
"No, just don't look down on me." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"How could it be? It's too late for me to admire you." Lily waved her hand and said, "I wish I could be as capable as you."
"Hey, let's do this. Why don't you come with me to make the potion, and I can teach you some more knowledge by the way." Xiang Nan said again, "I'm already making the joy potion that can only be made by the fifth and sixth graders. , intelligence enhancer, healing potion, living **** potion and vitality tonic.”
"Okay." Lily nodded after hearing this.
She is also very interested in potions. On the one hand, she is very talented in this area. She is obviously a Muggle, but she is very good at brewing potions.
While other students were still scratching their heads on how to brew the potion, she had already brewed the potion. As a result, she was repeatedly praised by Professor Slughorn, which also made her more and more interested in potions.
On the one hand, potions have miraculous effects and can cure diseases and save people. For her who is kind-hearted, it is also a good thing to help others.
Subsequently, Xiang Nan quietly took Lily to the Room of Requirement.
“There is actually a room here, I didn’t even know about it.” Lily said in surprise after entering the room.
The Gryffindor common room is on the eighth floor. She passes this wall almost every day, but she has never seen that there is actually a room here.
“This is one of the secrets of Hogwarts—the Room of Requirement, which even Principal Dumbledore doesn’t know about.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “It can meet the needs of different seekers.
For example, you can make it a bathroom, and there will be many chamber pots in the room; let it be a dormitory, and it will turn into beds and bedding; let it be a refining room, and it will turn into crucibles and medicinal materials; let it be a refining room, and it will turn into crucibles and medicinal materials; It is a library, and it can conjure all kinds of books... It can conjure almost anything, except food and money, of course. "
“This is incredible.” Lily said in surprise.
“It’s indeed incredible, so this is the magical world, always full of surprises.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"That's true." Lily said happily.
“Here, I’ll teach you how to make a sleeping potion.” Xiang Nan said with a smile, “You can make this kind of medicine in the second grade. After you learn how to make it, I will teach you how to make a therapeutic potion.”
Lily nodded.
…
For a period of time, besides going to class, Xiang Nan stayed in the Room of Requirement and boiled medicine.
Lily Evans would often come to stay with him after class and learn about potions with him.
The experience of the two of them in potions is increasing rapidly as pots of potions are successfully refined.
Especially Lily, under Xiang Nan's step-by-step guidance, has learned to brew sleeping potions, healing potions, intelligence-enhancing potions and other magic potions, and her strength has improved quite quickly.
…
Xiang Nan still didn’t go to the game. But he still helped Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory make big banners.
It depicts the soaring eagle representing Ravenclaw. This eagle has been enchanted by Xiang Nan. It will fly out from the banner every minute, circle the field and emit a loud eagle cry, which can be said to be quite impressive. In addition, the banner also has the words "Ravenclaw must win" written on it, and it is also enchanted. Not only can it be shouted loudly, but the words will also float in the air and shine brightly.
Joy, Benjamin, Gregory and others were all shocked when they saw that Xiang Nan had prepared such a eye-catching banner for the courtyard. And equally shocked were the teachers and students of Hogwarts.
Because the magic performed by Xiang Nan was so wonderful, not only the students were amazed, but many teachers were also amazed.
"It's really a very good transfiguration technique." Professor Minerva McGonagall couldn't help but admire when she saw the eagle flying out of the painting. Even seventh-grade students might not be able to transform such a realistic and exquisite eagle. come out.
"He must have used more than a dozen kinds of magic spells. The ones I can identify include the Transformation Charm, the Speaking Charm, the Flashing Charm, the Amplification Charm, the Color Changing Charm, the Levitation Charm, etc." Professor Filius Flitwick also exclaimed.
“Which student’s masterpiece is this?” Slughorn asked curiously.
"It must be Severus Snape. In the last competition, he made a roaring lion." Professor Flitwick said proudly.
This is a student of their college, and he is also the most talented student he has ever seen. He is only in the first grade, and he has already learned more than most seventh-grade students, which makes him proud.
“It’s him, no wonder.” Slughorn nodded and smiled.
Although Xiang Nan is not a student of Slytherin, he is a member of his Slug Club. Therefore, the higher Xiang Nan's achievements, the more beneficial he will be in the future. So he was equally happy for Xiang Nan.
It's just a pity that although the Ravenclaw cheerleading team is very impressive, the Quidditch game is ultimately about strength, not the cheerleading team.
So in the end, Ravenclaw unfortunately lost and had to compete with Gryffindor for third place and first place. This also made the Ravenclaw students feel depressed for a time.
…
In February, the weather was still cold, which made Joey, Benjamin, and Gregory shiver.
Xiang Nan was not afraid of the cold, and he was not afraid of seeing a few of them shivering from the cold, so he still found a way to help them.
He brewed a fiery potion. As long as you take a sip, your whole body will be warm, and the effect will last for four hours.
This potion became very popular in the school.
Because Hogwarts is located in the mountains of the Scottish Highlands, the lowest temperature here in winter can reach minus 15 degrees Celsius. Hogwarts has no heating, and at most there is a fireplace in the common room.
Senior students can also cast magic spells to stay warm, but freshmen in the lower grades can only choose to resist. Therefore, once this fiery potion was launched, it was immediately warmly welcomed by students.
As soon as Xiang Nan saw it, he didn't want to miss the business opportunity, so he immediately started selling it in the school, and even enlisted Joey and Benjamin to help sell it. Unexpectedly, he made a lot of money.
Hundreds of bottles can be sold in a day. One sickle per bottle is nearly ten galleons, which is more profitable than brewing other potions. This transaction lasted until April, and with the arrival of the spring equinox and the weather getting warmer, it was just concluded.
And Xiang Nan has accumulated nearly five hundred gold galleons, which can be said to be a small rich man. It made him regret why he didn't boil the hot potion in early winter last year and missed three months of the peak sales season.
…
During this period, Ravenclaw and Gryffindor held a Quidditch match to determine the third and third place.
Although the competition is only for third or fourth place, it doesn’t mean much, but both sides still try their best to compete hard. As expected, Ravenclaw failed miserably again and was ranked last, which also disappointed the students.
