Chapter 2734 The Land of Firebirds (42)

According to the classification of modern potions, preparations can be divided into seven categories:

1. Decoction, which is the common practice of putting medicinal materials into a crucible in order and boiling them with water.

Second, infusion, pour boiling water into the herbs like making tea and wait for 15 minutes.

Third, macerate, put the medicinal materials into oil, like making ointment, until the herbs lose their original color and the oil emits a strong herbal smell.

Fourth, ointment, put herbs into solid oil, use herbs or ointment or both.

5. For poultice, soak the herbs in boiling water. When the herbs are completely soaked, pour out the water and wrap the herbs in gauze for direct application.

6. Tincture, the reasonable way to make it is to soak the herbs in alcohol for at least two weeks.

7. Wash. When Slughorn was the Potions Professor, there was an era when lotions were popular, whether it was Rohart's shampoo or the Potter's hair lubricant, and Slughorn's hair lubricant.

The shower gels in the prefect's bathroom are all lotions.

The principal at the time followed Slughorn's suggestion and allowed him to use the "eternal potion" to provide shower gel for the prefects' bathroom. The "eternal potion" does not stay like this "eternally" after drinking this potion.

, although the material used to make this potion contains vampire ashes. It expresses an inexhaustible state, which will be replenished after consumption.

At first, everyone didn't think too much about it, just to save money and trouble. After all, the bathtub in the prefect's bathroom was so big. After Severus used the shower gel in the dormitory teacher's bathroom that was more suitable for each of them,

Only then did everyone realize that it was no longer possible to change the shower gel in the prefect's room.

According to Albus Dumbledore's understanding of the fire shrub, it is also in a state similar to an eternal potion. The wood consumed by the flames is quickly replenished. It is not like ordinary fire, which must burn the wood before it is extinguished.

The new topic he assigned to Pomona was the study of vampires.

Muggles believe that vampires can be killed by piercing the heart with an ash stake or beheading them. They will pretend to be dead for a period of time, and then their extraordinary regenerative abilities will allow them to crawl out of the grave like normal people. If you want to kill a vampire, the last step is to kill the vampire.

The best way is to use high-temperature fire. The temperature of the flames used by Muggles cannot be reached when burning. This was taught in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts in the first, second and third years. Therefore, vampires were also invented like wizards.

A kind of magic that can be resurrected from ashes, just like the freezing fire spell, which allows the wizard to feel no pain when the flames burn him.

This vampire-specific magic first appeared in Transylvania, and only the Transylvanian vampire legend mentioned the word "posthuman".

There were already legends of vampires in 4000 BC, when the vengeful Babylonian Idim consumed the lives of all living people, but there was no mention of blood-sucking at that time.

Later, Babylon was destroyed by the Persian Empire, and vampires appeared in Persian legends. The name of this vampire was Paris. The Trojan War probably took place around 1190 BC. Finally, Troy was conquered by the Greeks, and Greece was later conquered by Rome. According to

According to the records of Tacitus and other historians, the Romans at that time called themselves Trojans. Since Alexander the Great started the Hellenistic era, the Aegean Civilization and the Mesopotamian Civilization have been in constant conflict.

Romania literally refers to the place of the Romans, but it is a certain distance from the Roman Empire. The people living there are not Romans, but Latinized Dacians and Thracians.

, Celts, Illyrians, before the arrival of the Roman army, these ancient peoples already existed and lived in the vast land downstream of the Danube River.

The Indo-European language used at that time, when the territory of the Roman Empire extended to the Danube River, Latin also came to this place, but the Romans did not let the Romanians learn to speak Latin. Instead, it was "melted" by the Romanians, forming the Romanian language.

a part of.

Before Charlie and the others left, Pomona planned to find out more about Romania. Although Patsy told the Weasley family that he had a way to let Charlie stay until the end of the third mission before leaving, Arthur and Molly still

Following Dumbledore's suggestion, Charlie was sent back to the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania. After all, he had just graduated, and there were still many people who wanted to become dragon tamers.

Too much information crammed into a short period of time made Pomona feel dizzy, like a person who has eaten too much and cannot digest it. She was so numb that she walked back. Halfway through, she heard voices in the forest, through the gaps in the trees.

At first glance, it turned out to be Cedric and his friends sparring.

Harry is currently in "training", and Minerva allows him to use the Transfiguration classroom during lunch break to prepare for the third mission.

Pomona originally thought that Moody was responsible for training Harry and Minerva was responsible for training Cedric, but she didn't see Minerva watching at all, only a few students groping on their own.

She was a little angry, and just when she wanted to go over, Severus's voice rang out.

"Where are you?"

She looked around and found that she didn't see him. Only then did she remember the double-sided mirror in her velvet pocket, so she hurriedly took it out.

"Hi." She waved at the mirror in embarrassment, Severus' face looked ugly.

"Where are you?" he asked again.

"On the way back to the castle." She replied immediately.

"I'll wait for you in Greenhouse No. 1." He said with a cold face, turning the double-sided mirror upside down. The mirror was completely dark and nothing could be seen.

She put the mirror back in her pocket and hurried back at a faster pace. When she arrived at Greenhouse 1, she found that not only Snape was waiting for her, but also a fifth-year Ravenclaw boy.

He is the younger brother of Roger Davis, the Ravenclaw Quidditch captain and seeker who attended the Yule Ball with Fleur Delacour. Compared with his older brother, Chester is more

I like potions and herbs, and I don't like dating girls that much.

Fleur stopped paying attention to Roger Davis after the Yule Ball, so he turned his attention to Cedric's female companion Cho Chang, especially after he knew that Harry had dated her.

After reaching fifth grade, Roger stopped playing Quidditch. The position of seeker was replaced by Autumn, but Autumn also had a competitor, Andre, who sent Taubert to the hospital wing that night.

Aigwu, he always wears a purple scarf, these two people and Chester often play together...

"What……"

"He has a question to ask you." Snape said coldly, "Do you still have a headache now?"

Pomona was speechless.

"Tell her your questions." Snape pushed Chester forward, just like he pushed Draco to stand up after being knocked down by Harry's spell on the "stage" of the Dueling Club.

"Why can't the broad-spectrum antidote detoxify Hu Meizi's poison?" Chester said dryly.

"Shouldn't this be a matter of Potions?" said Pomona.

Snape sneered, "You are such a busy man."

Her mind was in a mess, and she finally asked Chester fiercely, "Why did you even think of asking this?"

"I...I saw the medicine candy in the hospital wing..." Chester stuttered.

"Do you think medicinal sugar is a magic medicine or a herbal medicine?" the old bat asked proudly.

Now Pomona really wanted to give him a grin to make him smile wider and save him from panic!

"What else do you want?" the Herbal Medicine Professor asked the Potions Professor.

He smiled contemptuously, "You still say this is a problem with the potion?"

Pomona calmed down a little and looked at Chester, "These two antidotes work in different directions..."

"So you're going over the edge by explaining potions?" Snape said.

You know, it's that kind of mood, the lion wants to kill the snake with his claws, and now the badger wants to bite it with his teeth.

"It's like a horned animal and a unicorn." Pomona looked at Chester. "The horned animal is aggressive by nature. The unicorn will avoid conflict, but once it attacks, it will pierce your chest with its horn.

,do you understand?"

Chester looked at Pomona and then at Snape, who remained silent for a long time.

"Remember when you were kicked unconscious by a unicorn when you were a kid? Severus." Pomona smiled sweetly, "You want to collect some of the powder on its horn."

Snape looked at Chester.

"I didn't hear anything!" Chester said quickly, as if he was planning to cast a forgetting spell on himself.

"Don't embarrass him. If you want to say something, just say it." Pomona pulled Chester aside.

"You can go now," Snape said.

Chester ran away immediately.

When he ran away, Snape smiled and said, "Davis has talent, why waste time on Longbottom? Don't you think this is a waste of Davis' talent?"

She didn't know why he wanted to embarrass Neville again.

"It's been two weeks, is it so difficult to just think of a title?" He suddenly said, "Or you forgot it again!"

"That has nothing to do with what we are talking about now!" She couldn't help but raise her voice.

"I won't be the same as last time. I'll let you think about it slowly." He warned eerily. "I remind you and tell you that you still have three days. I want answers."

Pomona didn't ask what would happen if there was no answer.

Few couples who break up can go back to being friends. How can they be friendly after becoming enemies?

All animals know how to defend themselves and how to attack their enemies. No one teaches bees to build a nest or how to use a sting, but they also know how to use it, even though they have never seen it before and can only use it once.

Severus's departure reminded her of the doe, a timid and keen animal that didn't even have the majestic antlers of a stag, but had flexible legs and feet that could survive by escaping.

She opened the greenhouse door, returned to her office, took out a small bottle of demulcent from the drawer and swallowed it.

Even if you don't eat or come into contact with any poisons, without any viruses entering, you will be poisoned yourself. This kind of autopoisoning is caused by indigestion or being poisoned by toxic substances produced by yourself. It manifests as constipation and pain all over the body.

, unexplained fatigue, or problems such as acne. The cure requires long-term sleep and a healthy diet. Taking medicine is not good for the body, so it mainly depends on self-healing.

"Go to sleep, you'll be fine after a little sleep."

She seemed to hear Albus say, and then as if she had been guided by something, she went to the bed in the preparation room and lay down, basking in the late spring sunshine that filtered through the glass, and slowly fell asleep.
