I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 400
c395 Potion abstraction and concept
After bidding farewell to Professor Slughorn, Hermione could no longer hold back the joy in her heart as soon as she walked out of the door.
“Ian, I’m really lucky. I just previewed Dreamless Sleeping Potion last week. If I had changed the topic to another topic, maybe I could have really messed it up…”
Whenever she is emotionally excited, Hermione will become a little talkative. Ian is also used to this, and he smoothly took over the topic and said:
“Yes, you are very lucky! The most important thing is your ability, luck only accounts for a small part. How about we find a place to celebrate?”
Facing the double praise, Hermione smiled like a flower, “Forget it about celebrating, I will write a paper this week and let’s relax next week…”
Even though it was rejection, Hermione’s eyes flashed brightly, and she understood the meaning of celebration.
…
Two days later, Hogwarts.
In a room of about 10 square meters, Ian looked with a headache at the huge iron cage in front of him, which contained a pure-bred werewolf who broke out from the forbidden forest.
It’s been almost a week. Apart from providing some food and water every day, he has nothing to do with the werewolf’s arrangements.
It is impossible to kill, not to mention that the werewolf is innocent from beginning to end, just the simple look in his eyes makes people unable to kill him.
This werewolf, too, would always curl up in the corner unconsciously every time he saw someone, with his arms folded together, only one head exposed, and a hint of fear in his amber eyes.
Coupled with the silver-gray hair, how should I put it… Ian always felt like he was facing a bullied Labrador. With his aggrieved appearance, he really thought he had been abused.
Although he looked a little pitiful, he knew very well that if it were anyone else, the werewolf in front of him would not be so honest and well-behaved.
A purebred werewolf’s intuition is somewhat similar to that of a beast. As long as it feels like it can be beaten, it will definitely show its teeth in dissatisfaction, but if it finds that the gap is too big, it will stay calmly.
“You are not allowed to yell or scratch, and I will take you up for some fresh air. Do you agree? If you agree, just nod…” Ian said, staring at the werewolf.
Don’t be afraid that the other party won’t understand. In fact, it’s like training a sheepdog. As long as you talk more and communicate more, you will naturally understand. You must know that even if it is a purebred werewolf, it still has “human” in its name, and its IQ will not be much worse.
Ian waved his wand to open the iron cage, then took out a flexible soft rope and tied it to the werewolf’s waist, and then left the narrow extension box one after another.
As for the werewolf’s counterattack, he is really not afraid of this. Not to mention the magic nebula, just the alchemy rope in his hand can instantly wrap the resisting werewolf into a hedgehog.
…
In the hut, Ian did not pay attention to the werewolves sniffing around, but sat on a chair and read the potions information left by Snape.
As for the promised outing, no matter what, it was only during the night patrol.
Otherwise, if he was taken out in broad daylight, no matter who saw him, there would be a lot of excitement in the castle.
After glancing at the cautious werewolf again, Ian picked up the information on the table. He was still quite curious about Snape’s research topic.
“The abstraction and concept of potions… Wow! It’s still such a high-end topic.” Just the title makes people feel emotional.
At the same time, he secretly lamented that Snape was indeed born to eat this bowl of rice. Others were trying to change the formula or shorten the time, but he had already targeted the root of the potion.
‘The uniqueness of potions comes from abstraction and concepts… What is abstract is only the magic medicine, but it is the wizard who gives the concept to the potion…’
‘The potion you drink acts on the wizard’s soul… just like drinking the elixir and being knocked unconscious will not bring the most real luck. The potion needs to be digested… and the heart and thinking are the most important. Good digestive pathways…’
Time passed slowly, and there was only the sound of turning pages from time to time, and there was no other sound in the cabin.
Half an hour later.
Ian closed the notebook suddenly, but he didn’t know how to evaluate Snape in his heart.
The first half of this research topic is very simple. The entire article is about discussing the birth and evolution of potions. But only in the second half, Snape changed his tune and tried to take the initiative to control the concept of potions…
This kind of thinking looks like a magic potion in a fairy tale. It is based on what the wizard thinks in his heart, and then he stirs it casually in the crucible, and the finished product is exactly what he thinks.
To be honest, Ian was frightened by this kind of unbridled thinking. If Snape could really figure it out, it would completely subvert the potion system that had existed for thousands of years.
Although it sounds exaggerated, Ian has full confidence in Snape, which is different from the original work where he worked hard to be a double undercover, and even played the role of nanny to accompany Harry on his adventures.
Snape now doesn’t need to worry about Harry’s safety at all, and it coincides with the changes in the fungi. A half-blood prince with a distracted mind, the power he unleashes in potion research must be astonishing.
…
evening.
Ian also fulfilled his promise and took the werewolf out for fun. Looking at the little guy having fun in the forbidden forest, he also smiled silently.
This seemingly ferocious werewolf is actually not an adult at all.
Ian was previously curious as to why the werewolf always only scratched but not bit when fighting with Hagrid. After feeding him food several times, he finally discovered… Ya’s canine teeth were not fully grown.
“Wolfsbane…” Ian sighed.
He thought of the infamous wolfsbane, and also thought of the parasitism of fungi. From a macro perspective, there really wasn’t much difference between the two. They all invade the body, change the mind, and then coexist with the host…
The only difference is that the parasites of fungi are more domineering.
…
Five years have passed, and the dilapidated scene of the apocalypse still lingers in my mind.
If possible, Ian would not want the HP world to become deformed, nor would he want Muggles to live in captivity.
“Perhaps… wolfsbane potion is the closest.”
A flash of lightning flashed across his heart, and at the same time, an immature plan emerged in his mind. Abstraction and concept make up the potion, with wolfsbane potion as the ‘abstract’ and resistance to fungal parasitism as the ‘concept’…
Ian kept thinking about the feasibility, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought something might be possible.
Compared with the Wolfsbane potion, to put it bluntly, it keeps the werewolf sane. Even after transforming on a full moon night, he can still remain sane.
The same is true for the erosion and parasitism of fungi. If Muggles and fungi can coexist while maintaining sanity, in fact… it is not an evolution.
“Is this also planned? Blood potion, Muggle evolution…”
In just a moment, Ian felt his scalp numb.
If Snape’s research is really successful, then everything will be rationalized, and fungal parasitism will become the biggest tonic in the HP world.
Countless Muggles have evolved, countless herbal medicines have been mass-produced, and wizards will also make a qualitative leap because of blood potions…
