Chapter 330: The Dog Licker Finally Gets His Wish?

Unconsciously, it was lunch time, and the Great Hall was packed with people.

This was Link's second time eating in the Great Hall. Just like last time, as soon as he sat down, food appeared on the table.

Right below the Great Hall was the kitchen of Hogwarts, where there were hundreds of house elves who were responsible for providing food for the students.

As slaves of wizards, each elf had a high level of magical attainments.

For example, Dobby, the elf of the Malfoy family, was even more powerful than Lucius, the head of the family. Moreover, because of the uniqueness of elf magic, they could do many things that normal wizards could not do.

For example, Hogwarts Academy has a full range of forbidden air arrays that prohibit apparition, but elves can flash here at will, and even the barrier cannot stop them.

Elves are also Link's target for reclaiming the demiplane, but elves are generally only found in wizard families with a long history, and many ordinary wizards don't even have them.

The magic in the world of Harry Potter is very unique, but Link is more concerned about potions.

Ecstasy potion, truth serum, polyjuice potion, lucky water, joy potion, blood tonic potion, muscle tonic, stimulating potion, magic-breaking potion, a series of potions with extraordinary effects, constitute the subject of potion science.

Most of them overlap with the potion knowledge Link had collected before, but there are also a few extremely special potions, such as lucky water.

Professor Slughorn, who has just joined the academy, is a very powerful potion master, and he happens to have a potion class in the afternoon.

However, when it comes to preparing potions, Link is proficient in theory, but he is far behind in practice.

It's like his mind tells him that he can do it, but when he starts to do it, his hands will tell him no, you can't.

The key point is lack of practice.

But Link doesn't have so much time to practice preparing potions by himself. The knowledge related to magic is too vast, there are thousands of spells, as well as a large number of related branches such as alchemy, pharmacy, magic arrays, etc.

In addition to the basic cultivation methods and spells, Link is more proficient in alchemy, especially mechanical alchemy, because he has a talent in this area, and his superpower of mechanical control makes him more adept in alchemy.

Unlike Link, Peggy is more proficient in biological blood transformation.

Laura is not interested in these research things. She is closer to a spellcaster, and she has excellent fighting instincts. Therefore, under Link's advice, she is ready to take the path of a battle mage.

A class lasts two hours. There is not much content, but there are many hands-on sessions. Link and Slug Horn have already greeted in advance, and he is mainly an auditor.

When he arrived, many students were already there and were reviewing textbooks in the classroom.

Before the fifth grade, potions are compulsory courses. In the sixth and seventh grades, potions become elective courses. Ordinary wizards do not need to master potions because they rarely use potions. Ninety-nine percent of students will never interact with potions again in their lives after graduation.

Like alchemy, this course still requires talent. In fact, the same is true for mechanical alchemy, so not many students come to listen to this course. Slughorn was not surprised by this. After a glance, he quickly got into the state.

"Good afternoon, students. I'm glad you can come to class. Potions is a boring subject. Intelligence and persistence are the most important qualities.

This morning, I brewed four potions in the classroom. The first three are what you have learned before. Can anyone tell me what potions these are?"

In fact, these early students had been discussing this issue before, and someone quickly raised their hands after hearing the question.

Slughorn looked around and finally looked at Hermione in the crowd, saying: "Hermione Granger, I have seen your fifth-year exam results. You got an excellent in Potions. I think you can tell me what you think."

Hermione herself is a primary school bully. She enjoys answering questions in class and is often the one who raises the highest hand. He walked up to the podium and came to the four pots. He opened the lid of the first pot and sniffed it, saying:

"The potion is the color of clear water. The water surface can even reflect a person's reflection, and there is no peculiar smell. I guess it is a truth serum."

Slughorn smiled and nodded, motioning Hermione to continue.

"Veritaserum is a very powerful interrogation potion. Its effect is similar to Legilimency, which is a very advanced magic that can only be mastered by master magicians.

Veritaserum does not require such trouble, nor does it require the user to have master-level skills. Just a small sip will put the person who drinks it in an ethereal state. In this state, the main consciousness of the person will enter a dormant state and the brain will be controlled by the subconscious.

At this stage, people cannot lie, but the Ministry of Magic recently believes that no suspect should be forced to become a witness against himself, and thus prohibits its use in interrogations.

"Very good, Hermione's answer is almost perfect, Gryffindor plus one point." Slughorn smiled and pointed to the second pot.

Hermione lifted the lid of the second pot again, leaned over and sniffed it gently, and said: "This pot is a polyjuice potion. Some people like to call it a transfiguration potion. The taste is very light, smelling a bit like lemon juice, and the color is amber.

This is a potion that is strictly prohibited by the Ministry of Magic because it can turn one person into another person. This change is perfect. Except for possible flaws in behavior, few magic can see through this disguise. "

"Correct answer, one more point for Gryffindor!" Slug Horn was even more satisfied.

This also made Hermione feel happier. She quickly walked towards the third medicine pot. After opening the lid, Hermione was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she said coquettishly:

"This is the Ecstasy Potion, also known as the Love Potion, Lovers' Potion, and Love Potion. It is said that its taste varies from person to person, and it will emit the smell that is most attractive to the person involved.

When you first take a whiff, it smells a bit like stinky shoes that have been worn for months and haven't been washed once. The second you take a whiff, it will become your favorite scent.

For example, the smells I smell are the aroma of grass, ink, and cherry-flavored toothpaste. "

Hermione blushed brightly when she said this, and Link could tell at a glance that this was the sign of her first love.

Of course, based on what he knew about the plot, he knew that Hermione had lied. What she smelled was a combination of licorice and sweat, which made her think of Ron immediately.

It was this time that made her realize that she liked Ron, and also paved the way for the subsequent love between Hermione and Ron.

When Link first started watching Harry Potter, he also hated Ron, thinking that he was not good enough for Hermione and that Hermione should marry Harry.

But with his current knowledge, he knew that Harry had an equally strong character, but most of the time he couldn't suppress Hermione and make her convinced.

Therefore, if two people are together, they will inevitably argue with each other, and the result will definitely be a breakup.

On the contrary, Ron didn't have much talent, but he had a soft personality and could tolerate Hermione's strength. Only then was he accepted by Hermione over time.

To a certain extent, Ron can be regarded as a licker who finally achieved success.
