Chapter 26 Batboy is very petty! "How can you jump to conclusions?" Katum denied, "Since you've thought of this, I'll admit it. In fact, I am the Half-Blood Prince. You can tell from my appearance that I am a mix of an orange cat and an eagle." After hearing this nonsense, Bruce had no doubts at all. The Half-Blood Prince is Snape! Otherwise, Snape would not be in such a conflicted state. Even if not, the Half-Blood Prince has a great connection with him. Even after that, he stopped being so difficult with Bruce, and the two Potions classes went by without any incident. When Snape announced the end of get out of class and the Hufflepuff students climbed down the stairs out of the dungeon, everyone looked at Bruce with curiosity. They were so depressed that they didn't dare to ask in class before, but now they swarmed around Bruce after class. "How did you do it!" Justin said excitedly, "You gave an answer that even Snape couldn't question!" Of course he couldn't question it.
Bruce thought that since that method was thought up by Snape, denying Bruce would be denying his past self. "I found this out through my own experiments. Perhaps Professor Snape prefers students who like to think." He casually answered the question and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch. Then, a cold voice sounded from behind. "Wayne." Looking back, Snape was standing at the end of the corridor, looking at this side with a gloomy temperament. He wrapped his whole body in a black robe and looked like an old bat. The young wizards around immediately scattered, fearing that they would be targeted by Snape. "Professor Snape." Bruce came to Snape holding the textbook. Snape's expression did not change. "Write a paper on Polyjuice Potion. It must be no less than twelve inches. Submit it to me next week." Twelve inches is equivalent to thirty centimeters, which is a huge task for first-year students. and-- "Professor, is the content about Polyjuice Potion beyond the syllabus?" Bruce asked. This is content for senior grades. "So what?" Snape's mouth curled up in an ugly arc. "Our Potions genius, can't he even write a paper? Remember, if you just copy the contents of the book, I will definitely fail you." He is testing me. Bruce immediately understood that Snape assigned this paper just to see if he really had a talent for potions. Owl Katoom took the opportunity to fan the flames in Bruce's ear: "Wayne, Bruce, we made it in Gotham, we must not lose face! Pay attention, it's just a paper, let's write it!" Let’s stop here and focus on ours.
Bruce complained in his mind, what does this paper have to do with Katum? This owl would definitely not be willing to write a single word. In the end, you can only bear it all by yourself. "Why, you can't write it?" Snape said sarcastically again. Although he knew it was just a provocation, Bruce still agreed. Batboy won't shy away from any challenge! After Bruce accepted the assignment, Snape left with a blank expression. But Bruce seemed to be thinking about something, with his head down and no words. Katum said to Bruce: "Think positively, he just asked you to write a paper, not to actually make a potion!" Polyjuice decoction is difficult to prepare. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Hermione spent half a year in the ladies' room brewing Polyjuice Potion. I'm afraid only Harry and Ron know how rich the taste is. "I wasn't mad at the extra assignment." Bruce said calmly, "I was just thinking about how to complete this task to the best of my ability, so that I could leave Snape with a lasting memory." Katum suddenly felt a chill. Snape, you are in trouble. Batboy is very petty! …… The afternoon classes were much easier than the morning ones, with a Herbology class and a History of Magic class. The Herbology teacher was Ms. Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House. She was short and plump, but always smiling, and her body was decorated with various herbs. The class takes place in the greenhouse behind the castle. The main learning content for the first grade is how to cultivate various exotic plants and fungi and understand their uses. The little wizards followed Professor Sprout's instructions and the whole class was completed successfully. But after class, Bruce stayed behind to ask Professor Sprout a question. "You're asking about the sap grass?" Sprout immediately became alert, "Isn't this the material for Polyjuice Potion? Wayne, what do you want to do? It is a serious violation of school rules for students to make Polyjuice Potion!" "No, no, no, Professor Sprout, I just have a question." Bruce pretended to be a good student. "I heard that the sap grass can only be picked during a full moon. This is because the sap grass at other times will show completely opposite characteristics. Is this true?" Seeing that it was just an academic issue, Professor Sprout put away his vigilance. She returned to her smiling face again: "Oh, that's right, the sap grass during a full moon represents the upright magical power, while the sap grass during a non-full moon represents the reversed magical power." "I see, I understand. Thank you, Professor!" Bruce thanked Sprout and left, Katoom flew behind him, already knowing what Batboy was up to.
"You read Half-Blood Prince's book really fast!" He said, "You're trying to make a variant of Polyjuice Potion?" In the Half-Blood Prince's seventh-grade textbook, some ideas for improving existing potions were written, including Polyjuice Potion. The original Polyjuice Potion was a potion that allowed the drinker to transform into someone else. There is no antidote for this potion, and after drinking it you can only wait for the transformation time to end. The Half-Blood Prince was extremely dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, not being able to create an antidote for a potion was an insult to his own talent for potions. So he worked hard to come up with an idea for a potion that might be able to crack the Polyjuice Potion, and wrote it down in his textbook. But there was no further news afterwards, probably because it was not refined. "The Half-Blood Prince actually failed." Bruce said, “He wrote a potion formula at the back, which can keep one’s original appearance after drinking it, and will not be affected by any potion or spell. "This potion can only prevent the compound potion in advance, but it cannot cancel it." At this point, Bruce thought of the reluctance revealed in the Half-Blood Prince's handwriting when he wrote the prescription. "but--" He suddenly said, "If Snape studies it further, he will find that he has actually created a completely new potion, and he only needs to change one ingredient!" The first ingredient in the polyjuice decoction brewing process is the sap-filled grass picked on a full moon. The magic of the correct position can help people maintain their own appearance. The reversed magic will reverse one's own attributes, for example - gender! What Bruce wanted to brew was a potion that could temporarily change a person into another gender, so as to give Snape some good memories. Katum said, "Then you must have thought of who to give this potion to." Bruce nodded. The two of them thought at the same time: "That is—— Bruce: "Snape!" Katoom: "Harry Potter!" (End of this chapter)
