Chapter 47 After the Confinement Ends
Lumi watched with interest as Snape prepared the potion, memorizing every step.
Lumi noticed the difference at this glance.
The preparation method and some details are different from those in the prescription.
The most important thing about potions is rigor. If a little detail goes wrong, the quality of a pot of potion can drop by several levels.
Lumi was not sure whether the potion prepared by Snape exceeded the prescription, but Lumi was certain that Snape's dosage details were more detailed than those on the prescription.
It wasn't until Snape finished preparing and stopped operating that Lumi turned around and left.
Seeing Snape refining potion for the first time, Lumi was very excited.
If Snape's method can be confirmed to be correct, then the potion will be easier to refine and its quality will be improved.
After this battle, Lumi made up his mind to find opportunities to watch Snape refining medicine.
Before, when his eyes were still there, Lumi was so focused on the material that he ignored Snape.
Because of this, Lumi was not very interested in potions last year.
Who would be interested in an imperfect potion?
The magic potion that Lumi refined last year was made almost exactly according to the book.
It has always been just average. The only time the potion was perfect was when it was combined with Draco.
At that time, Lumi only prepared the ingredients according to Draco's requirements, and relied entirely on Draco for the refining.
During these three days of confinement, Snape did not refine the potion. Instead, he kept watching Lumi's movements and explaining to him the special features of the materials from time to time.
It wasn't until Lumi decided to refine potions by himself and discovered how interesting potions were that he started to become more interested in potions.
Now, seeing more detailed prescriptions, Lumi's interest in potions has become second only to magic spells.
He is now looking forward to refining the perfect potion with his own hands.
It was just curfew, and the locations of Filch and the professor were invisible to Lumi's magical perception, so night travel was very easy for Lumi.
Avoiding Filch and the others with ease, Lumi arrived at the hospital wing.
Madam Pomfrey went to rest, and no one stopped Lumi from visiting Luna.
Seeing Luna again, Lumi felt much better.
"I haven't seen you for three days and you are still the same as before. I wonder if you miss me."
Lumi poked Luna's little face and raised the corners of her mouth.
Looking at Luna's stiff body and happy expression, the loneliness that she hadn't seen for three days was relieved a little at this moment.
He talked to Luna for a while, then left the hospital wing and headed to the eighth floor.
Dealing with the basilisk matter is urgent!
Snape must not be allowed to take advantage of this.
There are only so many places in Hogwarts where you can deal with basilisks. The original Chamber of Secrets is a good place, but it's definitely full of surveillance cameras.
Although Lumi's actions must have been known to Dumbledore, as the saying goes, it does not violate school rules if he is not caught.
When he came to the eighth floor again, he recalled his last action and tried to open this magical room.
Half an hour passed.
Looking at the room that suddenly appeared in front of him, Lumi walked in happily.
A room with a particularly large dissecting table.
The white walls and floors make the room look very neat and clean.
Lumi placed the basilisk on the stage, and its huge body directly occupied the entire stage.
Since the basilisk was dead and the magic power on its body was gradually dissipating, Lumi could already see clearly.
Fortunately, Lumi's packets were kept fresh, otherwise the basilisk's meat would have gone bad and it would be inedible. What a pity.
Holding the knife, Lumi used the knowledge he had learned in the past three days to start dealing with the basilisk bit by bit.
Thanks to Snape's teachings and the selfless dedication of those hundreds of venomous snakes, Lumi's movements in handling the basilisk seemed very smooth.
Since Lumi had no eyes, the basilisk's eyes could not have any impact on him, so he could only be taken out by Lumi, his eyes full of resentment.
The basilisk's body was so big that it took Lumi two hours to handle it.
The huge skeleton has been dismantled by Lumi, and the snake skin has been completely cut, but the snake scales have been damaged a lot, with only one third of the complete snake scales.
Lumi took out the snake venom and put every bit of it in the bottle.
It took five large buckets of snake blood to be filled, and the remaining ingredients were ingredients.
Put the ingredients and skin into the small bag, and now all that is left of the huge basilisk is a pair of eyes and a pair of fangs.
According to Lumi's vision, eyes were used to make weapons, but unfortunately Lumi didn't have the right materials.
Putting the eyes and fangs in a small box, Lumi left the room with satisfaction.
After a long night, Lumi was also hungry, so he went directly to the kitchen and asked Reed for a piece of food.
After eating and drinking enough, Lumi found that he actually still had two o'clock to rest.
Having just finished eating, Lumi's joy of handling the basilisk and learning new knowledge had dissipated a bit, and now sleepiness came to his mind.
Yawning, Lumi left the kitchen, returned to the Hufflepuff lounge, and lay down on the soft sofa.
The way back to the dormitory was too long, and Lumi didn't want to leave.
The warm fireplace and soft sofa made Lumi's sleepiness rise again.
He took out a soft quilt from the small bag and lay on the sofa.
After a while, the sound of even breathing came from the lounge.
When he was woken up, he realized that today was actually a day off.
After thanking his senior, Lumi still felt sleepy, so he dragged his half-asleep body back to the dormitory.
Not long after lying on the bed, he fell asleep again.
After he woke up, the whole world felt much clearer.
This change made Lumi realize that there was still room for improvement in his magic perception.
So he began to deduce the two changes in vision.
After absorbing the soul of the basilisk, the magic perception becomes stronger, and the magic power can be seen more intuitively.
But when you have eaten enough, drank enough, and are in a good mental state, your magic vision becomes clearer.
In other words, the intensity of Lumi's magic perception changes according to the power of the soul, and the accuracy is linked to mental power.
After reaching this conclusion, Lumi couldn't wait to verify it.
Look for those magical animals that can resist the half-second death curse.
As for mental strength, that thing can’t be rushed.
He wrote a letter while lying on the table, and borrowed Harvey's owl to send a letter to the potion shop in Diagon Alley, saying that he wanted to buy some potion materials.
In order to avoid being discovered by Snape, Lumi also added a lot of messy potion ingredients to disrupt Snape's sight.
I glanced at my pocket watch and saw that there were still three hours until nightfall.
It would take at most an hour to go to the Great Hall to eat, and maybe the next two hours could be used to practice spells?
