At this moment, Harry had too many surprises and questions. Could the original owner of this book still say that it was correct?
He held his breath and stirred it counterclockwise seven times, then clockwise once.
The effect was immediate. The potion in the crucible in front of Harry immediately turned a light pink.
This was a color that was almost complete, which meant that everything was perfect.
Next, as long as he continued to stir the potion until it was as clear as water, it would be over!
It was unbelievable. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Harry would not have believed it at all.
What did he do?
All he did was change the stirring sequence and rhythm of the wand. That was all, yet it produced such a miraculous effect.
Beside him, Elwyn, Hermione, and Ron had been brewing their potions for a long time, long before Harry had put in the various ingredients. Hermione, especially, had been brewing her potion for about fifteen minutes, and it was still that dark purple color.
As for Harry, it had not even been three minutes since he put the Drowsy Bean juice into the crucible, and his potion was almost complete!
If this was not a miracle, then what was?
"Elwyn, next, use the wand to stir. Stir counterclockwise seven times, then clockwise once!" Harry said happily as he stirred the wand according to the frequency.
After adding the Drowsy Bean juice, Elwyn's potion gradually turned a light snow green color.
He began to do what Harry told him, while thinking about how Snape discovered this method.
There was no doubt that whether it was using the silver knife to process the Drowsy Bean or changing the stirring sequence of the wand, they had greatly improved the process of making the Living Hell Potion, making everything simpler and more perfect. This was not something that could be achieved with just one or two experiments.
Snape must have spent a lot of time and energy on the Living Hell Potion, trying it again and again, improving it bit by bit.
Not only the Living Hell Potion, but also all the other potions in "Advanced Potion Making".
These densely packed annotations and changes recorded Snape's youth.
While the others were having fun, Snape was alone in the dark basement, brewing the potion over and over again.
An image appeared in Elwyn's mind. Snape and his magic potion …
This required great perseverance, especially when all of this happened in the sixth or seventh grade.
Elwyn felt like he knew what Snape's after-school life was like in his youth.
And why did he lose Harry's mother in the end?
Needless to say, if he really spent a lot of time on magic potions, the end result would be obvious.
He had done the wrong thing at the wrong time, so he couldn't have any good expectations for the future …
However, putting aside this sad story, for Snape to be able to make these improvements, in addition to his strong willpower and a large amount of time invested, it also showed that he had an extraordinary talent in magic potions. He was a true genius in this aspect, fully deserving of the title of Master Potion Potion.
If it was someone else, even if they were to brew the Living Hell Soup ten thousand times, they probably wouldn't be able to make any improvements.
Wait, Elwyn suddenly thought.
Slughorn was also Snape's Potion Professor at that time, but he didn't mention this at all.
If Snape really showed such talent when he was a student, with Slughorn's character, there was no reason for him not to mention it.
On the contrary, he talked about Harry's mother, Lily, many times, thinking that she was the best student he had ever taught.
Especially when it came to magic potions, Lily had a strong talent and was deeply loved by Slughorn.
Elwyn blinked and thought of a possibility.
Maybe Snape didn't like or was good at magic potions, but because of Lily, he started to study it. Of course, he wanted to share the results with her, but in the end, he could only silently seal it and his love for Lily forever.
Well, this was another sad story. This tattered textbook was not simple at all …
Thinking of this, Elwyn felt that it was better to leave it to Harry. Maybe Snape originally wanted to share the things inside with Lily. Now that it was passed to Harry in this way, it must have been God's will. No wonder Elwyn couldn't find it so many times before.
He only needed to make a copy and bring it back to study. This "Advanced Potion Making" should be left in Harry's hands.
Just as Elwyn made this decision, Hermione finally looked away from her potion.
She was surprised to see that Elwyn's and Harry's potions had turned pink, especially Harry's, which was getting lighter and lighter. He was about to succeed.
How was this possible? What happened in this classroom when she was concentrating on brewing the potion?
"How did you two do it?" she asked.
The heat from Hermione's crucible made her face red, and her hair was getting messier.
Even so, her potion was stubbornly purple, and refused to change.
"Stir it counterclockwise seven times, and then clockwise once!"
"No, no, the book says counterclockwise!" she said dogmatically.
"Add clockwise, it will be more effective." Elwyn said.
"But the book doesn't say that." Hermione picked up her "Advanced Potion Making" and confirmed it again, "Look, it says that you must continue to stir counterclockwise until the potion becomes as clear as water. This is a very important step."
Well, she was still so principled. Whatever the book said was right.
Whatever others said, they needed to first show her evidence, otherwise she wouldn't blindly follow.
"Yes, that's what the book says, but our method has been verified." Elwyn continued to persuade, "Doing it this way is more effective. It's not wrong to keep stirring counterclockwise, but it takes a long time for the potion to change, and the Sleepy Bean in your potion …"
Harry shrugged and continued to work on his own potion.
Stir it counterclockwise seven times, then clockwise once, then stop, then stir it counterclockwise seven times, then clockwise once.
While Elwyn was adding Sleepy Bean juice to the panicking Hermione's crucible, Ron on the other side of the table was cursing in a low voice. His potion looked like thin licorice, and he couldn't figure out what went wrong at all.
Harry raised his head and looked around the classroom. He didn't see any student's potion turn lighter like his.
He felt refreshed. This was something that had never happened in this underground classroom before.
"I think I must be crazy!" Seeing that her potion began to change after adding Sleepy Bean juice, the blushing Hermione hesitantly stirred her wand according to Harry and Elwyn's instructions, and looked at the change in the potion in surprise.
Harry smiled knowingly. Hermione was very stubborn in this regard.
