Arms dealer from Hogwarts

Chapter 30 Questions and Answers

Jamie rested his chin in one hand, and flexibly twirled a gel pen with the other hand—he hasn't learned how to use a quill until now...

The quill is too easy to get dirty, and every time it will be stained with ink, Jemini used it twice and threw it in the corner to eat ashes.

"Potter!"

On the podium, Snape suddenly said, "What will I get if I add sunflower powder to wormwood infusion?"

In the back row of the classroom, Harry, who was suddenly called by Snape, was stunned. Hermione, who was sitting next to him, immediately raised her hand, but Snape turned a blind eye to her raised hand.

"I don't know, sir." After a few seconds of hesitation, Harry said resignedly.

"Tsk tsk... It seems that fame doesn't mean everything." Snape curled his lips contemptuously.

Jemini rested his chin and ate the melon quietly.

Adding the sun orchid powder to the wormwood infusion will give you the water of life and death, a powerful sleeping pill, so strong that if you don't master it well, it can even make the user fall asleep forever.

In his previous life, he had read this episode more than [-] times in books and more than a dozen times in movies.

The book said daffodil root powder, but Snape's original words were asphodelos—solar blue.

In previous lives, there was some discussion about Snape's question.

Because the sun orchid still belongs to the lily family (lily) at this time, and the narcissus root is actually a mistranslation.

So some people think that Snape's words hide another meaning.

Asphodel is a type of lily, closely related to grief (sadness caused by someone's death) in Western countries, meaning "remembered beyond the tomb" (memory on the other side of the grave) and "my regrets follow you to the grave" (my regrets follow you to the grave) regrets follow you to the grave).

Wormwood wormwood infusion usually implies regret (regret), bitterness (pain) and remorse (remorse), the general connotation is "I am very sorry for your mother's death".

Therefore, from the perspective of literary symbolism, the connotation should be:
'Lily fell into bitter sorrow, I deeply regret your mother's death, and have lived a life of hell ever since. '

It perfectly fits the characteristics of the potion 'water of life and death'.

Of course, some people say that this is an over-interpretation.

However, Jemini felt that even if the author himself was not considered to be a connotation monster, the possibility was relatively high in terms of Snape's pissing nature of being arrogant until death.

After all, the person in front of him is a potion genius who highly optimized the sixth grade potion textbook when he was in school.

As far as their current grade's potions textbook "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Fungi" was concerned, Jamie suspected that Snape should be able to write the entire book silently, and maybe he could correct it easily.

For such a master of potions, playing a cryptic trick is simply at his fingertips.

Of course, it doesn't really matter whether Snape's words contain these metaphors or not.

Importantly, Jemini noticed that Snape never took his eyes off Harry's when he was asking the question.

This reminded him of one thing.

Before the word "dog licking" appeared, people always called it "affectionate".

"Let's try again, Potter."

Snape on the podium continued to ask, "If I asked you to find me a bezoar, where would you find it?"

Beside Harry, Hermione almost stood up from the stool with her hands raised, but Harry was still in a daze.

"I don't know, sir."

"I suppose...you haven't read a single book before term starts, have you? Potter..."

Snape sneered, and glanced in Jemini's direction: "It's also a first-year freshman, some people enjoy their fame but achieve nothing, some have no one to rely on, but they master one to five in a month. Defense Against the Dark Arts for all grades—”

Draco looked at Jemini in astonishment, he was very self-aware, Snape's look just now was definitely not looking at himself.

Except for this monster sitting next to him, probably no one could give Snape a high-level look.

Harry blushed, he was not afraid of Snape mocking him, because anyone could tell that Snape didn't like him.

He was afraid that Snape would appear useless if he compared himself to the other students.

"Tsk... look at those little unwilling eyes." Snape sneered, "One last question, Potter, what's the difference between aconitum aconitum and aconite chamaejasma?"

"I don't know." Harry whispered, "But I think Hermione should know the answer, why don't you ask her?"

A few students laughed, but Jemini didn't think it was funny.

From the perspective of a bystander, he only felt it was a pity.

It was true that Snape was mocking Harry, but he hoped he would know this.

In the Half-Blood Prince episode, Harry used a bezoar to save Ron's life after he accidentally drank poisoned alcohol.

Fecal stones can neutralize the toxicity of most poisons. Generally speaking, if you don’t know what kind of poison you have, but it is very critical, it is right to swallow a fecal stone. At least it can temporarily hang your body. Life!
This is the description of Coprolites in Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Fungi.

Beside Harry, Hermione was still raising her hand blankly.

"Sit down! Stupid girl!" Snape snapped at Hermione.

"Let me tell you, Potter! Sunflower powder and wormwood infusion can be mixed together to make a powerful sleeping potion, a dose of death water; bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat. , has a strong detoxification effect; as for the boat-shaped aconitum and chamaejasma aconitum, they are the same plant, and they are collectively called aconitum... Do you understand?!"

Snape said, his eyes finally left Harry's eyes, and he looked around: "You...why don't you write this all down?"

There was a rustling of quills and parchment in the class.

"Mr. Fox, have you been given earplugs?" Snape looked at Jemini with sullen eyes. It was obvious that he was not in a good mood now, and he seemed a little crazy.

"I've almost memorized the knowledge points, and I've finished memorizing them, professor." Jemini spread out a small notebook, on which a large pile of notes was densely packed.

Snape's eyes swept across the notebook, and he said slowly: "So, in the absence of bezoar, what can be used as a substitute?"

"Bezoar, Professor."

"How much water of life and death should be used?"

"Less than an ounce."

"Is the cry of the mandrake pleasant?"

"Everyone who hears is dead, Professor."

"How is it different from poisonous ginseng?"

"There is no need to distinguish, the same species, poisonous ginseng eggplant is another name for mandrake."

"What is the main ingredient of the palliative potion?"

"Moonstone powder and hellebore syrup."

"What's the use of Bai Xian?"

"Cure various bruises."

"Obviously—there are some people whose name is not unreasonable..."

Finally, Snape stopped asking, and for the first time a smile appeared on his face, although it was a bit stiff and ugly.

"Five points for Slytherin, as for you, Potter, five points from Gryffindor for contradicting your teacher."

In the Potions classroom, a group of Slytherin students immediately applauded. For the first time, they cheered for the evil star in their house.
