That night, Harry mysteriously took out a tube of silver-white and shiny magical blood in the Gryffindor common room under the witness of Hermione and Ron.
Hagrid collected it from the poor dead unicorn. He secretly kept a test tube for Harry, and Harry gave it to Neville.
then!
After gathering all the materials, on the weekend, taking advantage of the fact that Sunday was the Quidditch final and there were few people in the castle, Neville found a classroom and started preparing his potion.
Preparing potions definitely requires a lot of tools for processing medicinal materials and making potions. Neville definitely doesn't have them, and Harry and the others don't have them either, so they have no choice but to borrow them from the Potions professor.
But it is a pity that Professor Snape, who is the most disliked person in the school, will not lend tools easily, let alone a group of first-year students, even if Hermione, a good student, comes forward!
In the end, as a last resort, Ron and Harry just used Harry's invisibility cloak and 'borrowed' almost all the tools Neville needed from the Potions classroom and Snape's office on multiple occasions.
However……
Unfortunately, Neville's configuration work was not smooth and failed twice in a row.
Therefore, he still needs more test tubes, crucibles and related clean containers, and it will definitely be too late to flush them again.
Seeing this, without saying anything, Ron volunteered, and before Harry could go back to get the Invisibility Cloak, he ran to the Potions classroom, intending to 'borrow' some more test tubes and other tools from Neville.
However……
No big surprise, of course Ron was discovered!
After the furious Snape caught Ron's appearance, he only threatened to fire Ron. In fear, Ron betrayed Neville in a panic.
Then without saying anything, Snape came to the door angrily. When Anne hurriedly used the Disappearance Charm to hide herself, and when Hermione, Neville and Harry were still confused, he kicked in the door directly and took Hermione in.
Wei and Harry caught someone's stolen goods and got it!
Then, of course, Snape was going to go to Professor McGonagall and Principal Dumbledore to impose the severest punishment on certain students for stealing potions and tools.
At this time, Neville, who was in a bad mood due to two consecutive failures, finally collapsed.
He cried and complained directly about why he had to prepare potions, why he worked hard to learn potions, and why he was unfortunately kidnapped by Death Eaters and tortured to madness. He has been placed in St. Mungo's Magic Wound for more than ten years.
parents who are being treated in the hospital, and will also
His motivation for configuring the potion was that he simply wanted his family to reunite, his mother to call him by name, his family to have a meal together, and his grandma to really praise him.
I cried and told the whole story.
"..."
After hearing this, it was rare that Snape, the 'dark wizard' who was always disliked by others, fell silent and did not threaten to arrest them again and take them to the principal's office?
"professor!"
"This is the recipe for the potion..."
"We really just want to help Neville..."
Seeing that things seemed to be turning around, the clever Hermione stepped forward in time and took out the recipe she had copied.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Snape did not rush to comment. Of course, Snape snorted, grabbed the piece of paper and read it at a glance.

"Where are the materials?"
First, he looked at the materials carefully, then scanned the preparations at the back. After finding no problem, Snape directly asked Neville, who was still sobbing.
"Here, here..."
Seeing that Neville was still whimpering and at a loss, Hermione quickly spoke and pointed to another table next to her.
"..."
Snape didn't say much, he just walked over and checked everything.
"really!"
"You stole the sheep dung stone, right?"
"I remembered..."
"You three guys were out in the corridor that day, with Peeves!"
With that said, Snape once again glared at Hermione and Neville fiercely.
No wonder that when he caught Peeves, the other party kept shouting that he was wronged and kept crying that he had never done it. He didn't believe it at the time, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that he had indeed wronged Peeves?
"Unicorn blood!"
"Where did you get this dangerous material?"
"Do you know the consequences of accidentally touching it?"
Then, after looking at the rest of the materials and finding that there were no problems, he carefully picked up the tube of silver-white liquid and sternly questioned several students.
"Teach, professor..."
"I begged Hagrid to give me the blood. Neville really didn't hurt the unicorn!"
"I swear!"
Hearing this, Harry hurriedly stepped forward and explained forcefully.
"Shut up!"
"Of course I know he can't hurt a unicorn!"
"You don't need to say anything!"
With a cold snort, Snape glared at Harry fiercely again.
"Have you already refined the potion?"
"Where's the finished product?"
"Where?"
Then, looking at the messy desk and the tube of unicorn blood that was missing about a third, he questioned again in a cold voice.
"professor!"
"Here, here..."
Hermione quickly placed the two packed failed products carefully on the table in front of Snape, and then asked hopefully:
"professor!"
"I just watched it. Neville strictly followed the recipe, but I don't know why, but he just couldn't succeed..."
"Do you know why?"
Then she asked hopefully.
Yes!
Neville had done very well just now. She thought that she could not do better than Neville by herself. It could be seen that Neville had really worked hard, but unfortunately, he still failed twice in a row. She
Don't understand why either.
"..."
Snape didn't waste any time. He directly picked up the two potions and smelled them. He then looked at the remaining prepared materials by Neville, then compared the formulas, and finally said with a sneer:
"Although I don't know the authenticity of this formula..."
"but!"
"With these alone, it is impossible to prepare a potion with the functions mentioned above!"
"It looks like it's missing a very necessary step, or some important medicinal materials?"
"As for what..."
"Then you have to ask the guy who developed this potion."
It can be seen that Snape is still somewhat capable. From the materials and formulas alone, he has roughly analyzed some methods.
"!!"
"Then Professor, what exactly is it?"
Annie copied this potion formula from an ancient book. When she was at Annie's house, she also asked Annie to find it out, but as a result, she found that there was indeed only this amount in the book, which was the same as what was written in the formula.
There's really nothing wrong or missing.
"I have no idea!"
"Don't ask me!"
"I'm not here to give you guidance and answer your questions!"
Snape growled somewhat annoyed.
"."
But after a pause and silence for a while, he continued:
"I don't have to take you to Dumbledore for today's matter, but forty points will be deducted from Gryffindor!"
"Each of you will write a three-page review for me later!"
"As for you..."
"Mr. Longbottom, you can continue, but don't blow yourself up!"
"besides!"
"You must write down the process of making the potion meticulously and submit it to me along with your review!"
"After the remaining potion is made, no matter whether it fails or succeeds, you must show it to me first!"
"Do you understand?"
After saying that, Snape, seeing that nothing happened and that he could not provide any help, thought for a moment, then walked away with a dark face.
If an ordinary student said he wanted to make that kind of potion, Snape would definitely not believe him!
After all, a few kids are doing something that even the Ministry of Magic’s hospitals and so many therapists and pharmacists can’t do. Isn’t that a joke?
However, if it involved Anne's weird little girl and her family, as well as the weird potion formula, he thought maybe he could let them try it first?
And he would try it himself when he went back, but he would definitely not try it in front of those students!
"call--"
"What a risk!".
"yes!"
"I thought I was really going to be fired..."
Seeing Snape leaving, and seeing that the other party only deducted points and asked them to write a review, everyone, including Neville, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ron!"
"You almost screwed up!"
Then, Hermione, who breathed a sigh of relief, glared angrily at Ron, because Ron had almost ruined Neville's matter. How could he possibly expose Neville and them?
"I don't want to either!"
"He threatened to fire me!"
"I was terrified!"
"Anyway!"
"At least now we can get the tools openly. That's not a bad thing, is it?"
"I'll get it right now!"
As he said that, Ron seemed a little guilty and afraid of Hermione's cannibalistic eyes, and then he turned around and ran away.
"Ron!"
"I-I'll help him!"
Seeing this, Harry looked at Hermione, then at Neville and Anne, who had just appeared and was very unloyal, and had just been avoiding herself and not having to write a review. He thought for a while, and then hurriedly moved towards
Ron chased after him.
"Annie!"
"You were just hiding by yourself!!"
Then, without any surprise, Hermione began to shift the fire towards Anne.
"I didn't think much about it at the time..."
(﹏)
"Who told you not to learn the 'Disguise Curse' earlier?"
(-)
Anne said that the situation was urgent and she accidentally forgot to make several people invisible.
"Say no more!"
|▽)
"Isn't it just writing a review?"
(⊙⊙)
"If someone had helped you hide it at that time, Professor Snape would have confiscated all the materials!"
()
"That's good now. At least I can prepare it with confidence, right?"
(*)
As she said that, Annie laughed heartlessly.
Anyway, she was not caught by Professor Snape just now, nor was she forced to write the three-page review, nor was she deducted any points. She was so lucky and escaped the crisis again. They
Chapter completed!
