Professional Players Are Banned from Competing!
Wizet took out a stone pestle and mortar, and put the Nettle into them, just as the book had described.
With a rhythmic grinding sound, he began to grind the material methodically.
Fred clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "No wonder Potions got an 'O' in Ravenclaw. His movements are so standard and skillful, there's not a single flaw!"
George nodded and said seriously, "Listen to that sound! The force of each strike is so even, it's absolutely textbook-level!"
Fred, standing to the side, chuckled, "If the expression were any more serious, if the whole face were tense... who do you think it would look like?"
"Wizet, don't listen to Fred!" George laughed too. "Otherwise, it will definitely interfere with Neville's performance."
Neville was also dealing with Nettle, his brow furrowed as he carefully peeled the skin with a knife, his expression extremely focused.
Not long after Wizet put down the stone pestle, Neville also put down the knife in his hand and let out a long breath.
George exclaimed, "Amazing! You caught up with Wizet's speed!"
Fred patted Neville on the shoulder and said, "That shows we have good judgment, otherwise why would we have brought you here?"
"You...I...actually, I didn't..." Neville's expression was shy and somewhat awkward, and his words carried a hint of worry. "Is it really okay for me to handle things this way...?"
"Why not give it a try?" Wizet pointed to the crucible, where the water was now boiling.
Wizet picked up the Nettle that Neville had prepared and poured them into the crucible. The Nettle quickly sank to the bottom, and the liquid in the pot gradually turned yellowish-green.
"Facts can prove a lot..." He turned down the flame and pointed to the yellowish-green liquid bubbling with fish-eye-like bubbles, saying, "The release of properties was very fast; this was a very successful operation."
The Triltopus Family possesses a formula containing extremely complex ingredients, which Wizet studied thoroughly during the summer vacation, combining it with the Engorgement Charm.
It was precisely because of this research that Wizet chose them as examples to illustrate her ideas.
The Potions -making continued, Wizet led everyone in a re-analysis of the Swelling Solution's various processes from the perspective of other magical subjects.
For example, the materials placed in the crucible can correspond to the pauses in the incantation of the Engorgement Charm;
The amount of ingredients is also related to the stress of the spell. The pufferfish eyes that need to be added in the second step are actually the most important ingredient in the entire swelling potion.
Therefore, the amount of pufferfish eyes placed in the crucible is the largest in the entire recipe, requiring a full three portions.
After finishing brewing the Potions, Fred and George brought over two Pygmy Puff. They gave one of the Pygmy Puff Swelling Solution and cast a swelling spell on the other Pygmy Puff.
The two Pygmy Puff grew larger rapidly, their fur becoming even fluffier, like two soft pillows, which amazed Fred and George.
Based on the current progress, Wizet gave a summary of the stage, "This is what I wanted to illustrate... Charms and Potions can corroborate each other, while Herbology can complement Potions..."
Hanna is now getting into the swing of things, and after listening to Wizet's summary, she suddenly realized, "From this perspective, it feels a lot like being a therapist!"
"I've heard my elders mention this before... They said that getting a therapist's license is extremely difficult!"
"That's a perfectly valid understanding!" Wizet affirmed. "Healers need certificates in many magical subjects, the two most important of which are Potions and Charms."
"When certain special patients appear, they will combine knowledge of Herbology, Care of Magical Creatures, and other fields to concoct more targeted Potions, and supplement them with Charms to treat the patients."
The "Patronus Charm Healing Technique," which is still being improved and perfected, actually falls within the research scope of healers.
Fred and George stared at Pygmy Puff, somewhat lost in thought. They looked up almost simultaneously. "Wizet, what will happen if we keep increasing the amount of pufferfish eyes?"
Wizet countered, "Why would you think that?"
Fred laughed, "Because the Engorgement Charm actually has other effects...for example, it can make a person float uncontrollably like a balloon for a while."
George added, "When school started, Dad told us... Harry cast an Engorgement Charm and blew his aunt up like a balloon."
Wizet understood what Fred and George meant. "They want to increase the variety of ' Magical Fireworks,' so they need to change the materials, right?"
George snapped his fingers. "That's it! That's it!"
Fred puffed out his chest. "How about that? We're learning pretty fast, aren't we?"
"Of course, no problem, but..." Wizet looked at Neville and Hanna, "What kind of adjustments do we need to make?"
"What kind of adjustments?" Hanna pursed her lips. "Reduce the amount of Nettle! And increase the amount of bat spleen!"
"This will enhance the effect on the pufferfish's eyes!" Neville realized as well. "And since less Nettle is needed, there might be less stinging!"
After clarifying their thoughts, Neville and the others got to work and began to brew the Swelling Solution with a modified formula, according to their own ideas.
Wizet stood aside, waiting for the finished products from the group.
Because of the previous analysis, Neville and his team made quick progress, and the processed Nettle and pufferfish eyes were placed into the crucible one by one.
The cauldron now had an indescribable color, and Fred and his companions began to consider whether to brew another Potions or try adding some other ingredients.
Fred and George's idea was to continue cooking, and if it failed, to improve the recipe;
Neville and Hanna, however, thought they should try another approach and ask Wizet directly.
Luna watched the liquid in the crucible change color and said thoughtfully, "I think the Potions these days are too heavy..."
"We'll need something light and buoyant. It's still quite difficult to rely solely on bats carrying pufferfish to fly..."
"Perhaps we need to give the pufferfish a pair of fluffy wings so that it can fly better, but we must make sure to tie the wings tightly!"
As she pondered, she took action, retrieving two beautiful bird feathers and a string of dried bluebells from the locker.
Upon seeing this, Wizet shook his head and laughed. He suddenly remembered something Fred had said earlier, "Professional athletes are prohibited from participating!"
He found it difficult to explain and could only attribute it to spirituality, an ineffable quality.
If Fred and his team had followed their original plan and completed the entire Potions- making process;
So the Potions can indeed inflate a person, but that's all; the air will soon deflate, meaning the effect doesn't last long.
The materials Luna, will have their magical properties enhanced, making the "inflation" that Fred and the others were hoping for last longer.
For example, Honeydukes ' "Drooble's Best Blowing Gum," a candy that makes you blow blue bubbles, contains bluebell flowers...
