"Golpalott's Third Law" and Cooking

"To deepen our understanding of the soul through the Boggart..." Dumbledore stroked his beard, "... a very interesting research direction."

"I think there's something more interesting about Boggart ..." Wizet closed his notebook, "But I haven't discovered it yet."

"Something even more interesting?" Dumbledore murmured, giving Wizet a meaningful look. "Wizet, do you remember the armor I mentioned to you before?"

"Actually, I've always kept it in mind," Wizet said frankly. "But I think you've probably been too busy, so you may have forgotten about it."

"In addition, I was busy with other things last school year... like Animagus, or other things, so I didn't have time to take care of it."

"My memory is actually not bad; it hasn't aged that much," Dumbledore said with a smile. "Actually, I've always kept it in my heart..."

"I've been thinking about how to express it. But now it seems like I can relax a lot!"

"You were able to learn such interesting perspectives from Boggart ... I think you should be able to easily understand things about armor as well."

Wizet quickly asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, when shall we begin?"

"Next weekend..." Dumbledore said carefully. "I have some things to do this week, and I'll be free next week."

"Do you have some free time?" Wizet thought for a moment. "Headmaster Dumbledore, I can actually continue my research on the Boggart, there's no rush..."

"Maybe after I study it more deeply, I'll be able to understand it more easily when you explain the principles to me? It might even take less time."

"It's alright! Let's do it next week!" Dumbledore waved his hand. "With your current understanding of the soul, I believe it shouldn't take too long."

"Alright." Wizet. "Headmaster Dumbledore, I'll head back now!"

Watching Wizet's departing figure, Dumbledore said to Lupin, "I've reinforced the Shrieking Shack again."

"Headmaster Dumbledore, thank you so much!" Lupin said gratefully upon hearing this. "You've gone to so much to get me accepted!"

"You not only provided me with Wolfsbane Potion, got the professors to keep my secret, but you also renovated the Shrieking Shack for me... I don't know what to do..."

"Remus, you have done very well," Dumbledore interrupted Lupin. "At least from what I've heard... you've won the hearts of the entire school."

"Let's talk this out... The reason I hired you was to teach students Defence Against the Dark Arts, and you did that exceptionally well, accomplishing exactly what I wanted."

"Since you've managed to do this, then everything I've done has been worthwhile. This has been a win-win situation, so you don't need to feel so burdened; just keep working hard!"

Seeing Dumbledore's gentle smile, Lupin hesitated, his hands already clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

He gestured with his lips, and all his unspoken words were summed up in one sentence. "Headmaster Dumbledore, I will try my best!"

On a weekend afternoon, Wizet went to Snape's office.

Snape sat opposite Wizet, arms crossed, watching the Golden Eagle Patronus dissipate into the air, his gloomy expression showing no sign of fading.

With an expression of utter disgust and reluctance, he said in a low voice, "Today's topic is... Wolfsbane Potion."

"Yes, Professor Snape!" Wizet nodded in response.

School has been in session for a while now, and he has been preparing all along, knowing that sooner or later he will need to learn how to Wolfsbane Potion Potions.

During his first private lesson of the school year, Snape asked a related question, "Do you know that person is Werewolf?"

Wizet's answer was simple, "I know. We met once back in North America when he was injured. I don't know what happened after that."

Snape didn't say much at the time. When he first heard the word "injured," a look of contempt appeared on his lips.

Secondly, while Wizet was processing the materials, he vaguely heard a noise behind him, which seemed to be Snape's low, gritting mutter, "Dumbledore!"

For the next period of time, Snape simply taught him to master "Golpalott's Third Law".

This is an extremely important, yet extremely difficult, law to grasp and understand;

Especially when faced with extremely complex poisons, he was able to save his life through "Golpalott's Third Law";

Golpalott's Third Law states simply that when faced with a mixture of poisons, the antidotes cannot be mixed together to obtain an antidote.

This is because when multiple poisons are mixed, their toxic effects become more complex due to interactions.

In his process of understanding, Wizet also tried to use the analogy of cooking to demonstrate whether he understood "Golpalott's Third Law".

If we assume that detoxification is like making a dish taste better, then since salt and sugar have different flavors, if we mix them together randomly for seasoning, the dish will most likely taste worse.

Therefore, it is necessary to find some special ingredients and apply them to the antidote to help neutralize the interaction between the poisons;

Just like when cooking, in addition to salt and sugar, you may need to add spices or soy sauce to really make a dish taste better;

This leads to the conclusion that the materials needed to make an antidote for a mixed poison are more than the sum of the ingredients of each individual poison antidote.

In other words, the relationship between poison and antidote is not the simplest one plus one equals two, but requires more ingredients to ensure that the complex reactions of each toxicity can be neutralized completely.

At the same time, the order and proportion of these ingredients must be strictly controlled, just like when cooking, ingredients must be added in a specific order.

He explained this analogy to Snape, and although Snape deducted a point from his score, he also received Snape's nod of approval, indicating that his understanding was correct.

The reason he was penalized was probably because Snape thought it was absurd to confuse a crucible with a soup pot.

Snape stood up and walked to the Potions station. "Wolfsbane Potion is a new Potions. You should know something about it, right?"

"It is said that the Wolfsbane Potion consists of two parts..." Wizet recalled, "One part is provided by the family of Damocles Belby, and the other part needs to be brewed by the Potions himself."
