Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

"Bourne!"

On the way to the hospital wing with "Injury", Snape passed by his private office.

He opened the door directly and gave instructions to Bourne who was bottling cold medicine.

"Go to the Potions classroom and clean up all the remnants of cowpea glue. That old man Filch can't do this job. You go and finish it. If it's cleaner, I'll give Gryffindor House five... …No, it’s plus four points.”

Bourne was stunned by this unprecedented news. He had been at Hogwarts for almost a year and a half, and this was the second time he had received extra points from Snape.

But when he walked into the basement classroom of the Potions class and saw the mess all over the floor with his own eyes, he realized why Professor Snape wanted extra points.

"What's going on?"

He turned into a subway old man with a question mark face.JPG.

This can't be blamed on him, the main reason is that he has just been away for more than an hour, and this place has turned into a scene that he had never imagined before.

It's like a "hell of white goo".

The milky white, pasty substance with a strong beany smell was all over the place, on the table, on the ceiling, on the floor, on the bottles and jars with labels... almost half of the entire classroom was stained. It was full of this stuff, and there were even some sticky shoe prints at the door.

Although magic cowpea glue is a relatively common household potion, how could a proud potion master like Snape continue to use the recipes of his predecessors when teaching students?

Naturally he improved it.

The household magic glue modified by this potion master suddenly transformed into a magical version of Super 502.

Before it is completely cooled, this "Super 502" is relatively easy to clean up, although it is very sticky.

However, when they cool down almost completely - despite their mushy shape - they are actually as hard as granite.

It is conceivable that if Filch is allowed to deal with these things, without the use of electric picks and drills, the poor castle caretaker will probably have to use COS carving workers to chip them bit by bit with a pickaxe before he can with difficulty. Clean up this potions classroom.

“Scourgify!”

Bourne attempts a cleansing spell.

The spell did have an effect, but he also found that he seemed to have underestimated Snape's potion skills. Although the professor only adjusted a little bit of the original formula, this brand-new magic glue was able to withstand the "cleaning" of the curse.

The cleaning spell is like scraping the hardened milky white substances, and can only remove some of their surface debris.

"It couldn't have been caused by Harry and the others, right?" Bourne had a guess.

However, the disastrous consequences left him somewhat uncertain.

"This is too crazy. Not to mention Snape, even if Professor McGonagall knows, they will not get good results."

Bourne shook his head helplessly.

Faced with such a mess, he only came up with two ways that might be able to solve the problem.

The first one is "Brick Flying": Use a more powerful magic spell to bombard the entire Potions classroom, blast the hardened glue and other things into powder residue, and then use the magic spell to "restore the broken teaching tools" "Like new", and finally clean away the hardened glue powder.

However, although this can clean up the classroom, all the potion materials in the classroom must be replaced.

Even though he knew that this level of financial burden was nothing to the wealthy school board of Hogwarts, he knew that if he really did this, the bonus points promised by Professor Snape would probably be wasted. .

Therefore, there was only one other solution before him: Merlin's return to Merlin, the potion issue must be solved with potions after all.

"Take it slow."

Bourne found a relatively clean table, took out a spare clean crucible from the teaching aid cabinet, set up the pot and put on the fire.

First, he found some dried nettles, puffer fish eyes, and bat spleen, which were the potion ingredients used to prepare the swelling potion.

After mixing and chopping them with a silver knife, put them and an appropriate amount of dew into the crucible and boil them together. At the same time, stir them counterclockwise three or two times with a wand. The color of the liquid will change from black gray to dark yellow. change.

If you continue to stir until the dark yellow color fades and the liquid becomes colorless and transparent, then a very good swelling liquid will be made.

But Bourne did not do this. He added to the cauldron a handful of viper fang fragments, two tablespoons of dried leech powder, and a full pint of concentrated squid secretion.

"First make those things fluffy to increase their contact area with the potion, and then use the active ingredients of the powerful cleaner to dissolve them."

While recalling the principles of potions taught to him by Grandpa Horace, Bourne created a new potion formula for hardened magic glue.

Maybe this sounds very simple, but in fact it is not.

The reason why it is so difficult to improve old or create new potion recipes is that it is difficult for ordinary wizards to quantify the materials.

Only wizards with extremely high potion talents can use their intuition to add or subtract potion materials by "feeling", and then design a new potion that suits their wishes.

If ordinary wizards try randomly, it is almost inevitable that they will have some accidents while making potions.

Bourne stayed up for half an hour. Although he did not increase or decrease the potion ingredients in the second half, he remained very focused on controlling the heat of the crucible. When he stirred the potion soup with the wand, his perception followed the wand deep into the potions, feeling the changes in their properties during the cooking process.

"It seems not even close." Byrne felt carefully and came to a guessing conclusion: "I'm afraid this pot of potion cannot completely dissolve the hardened magic glue. After more than half an hour, those things may It’s become a little more difficult to clean up.”

Bourne was thinking, and suddenly felt blessed: he twisted his neck, completed part of the transformation of the Primaris Astartes, then squeezed the Bechers gland through his muscles, and spit the secreted saliva into the pot. Potion being brewed.

In an instant, the potion in the crucible began to boil violently, and large groups of foam began to emerge from the surface of the potion, forming a thick layer, as if a milk cap had been added to the pot of potion.

"What are you doing?"

And just as Bourne was paying attention to the changes in this new potion with great interest, cold words suddenly appeared behind him.

"Ok?"

It was a ghost that lived in Hogwarts Castle. Bourne had seen so much that he lost the novelty at the beginning.

In addition, he did not feel any malice emanating from the other party's thoughts, so although he had just noticed a ghost approaching, Bourne just regarded it as a passerby who wandered here by chance.

Wandering around the castle every day, such ghosts are actually very common in Hogwarts.
