MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 2737 Land of Firebirds (45)

  Chapter 2737 Firebird Land (forty-five)

It is said that a long time ago, a lightning bolt hit the dead wood on the ground. It caught fire and quickly formed a prairie fire. Animals living in forests and grasslands had to run away quickly. Animals that did not escape the fire were burnt or roasted. cooked.

  There was a group of primitive people who ate these roasted animals and found that they were not only easy to chew but also easy to digest, so people began to eat cooked food and ended their life of drinking blood.

Cooking has a natural relationship with chemistry, and the chemistry in cooking is also very complicated. In the process of roasting meat, it is not the covalent bond that changes as in the vinegar-to-wine spell, but the non-covalent bond. Molecular forces have changed, forming a new molecular structure, causing changes in the state of the meat.

  Werewolves prefer to eat raw meat, but it cannot be generalized. Remus has no problem eating human food when he has not transformed into a wolf, but even Harry and Hermione will attack after transforming into a wolf.

  Defense against the Dark Arts class only taught how to identify werewolves, but did not teach **** werewolves. Snape dismissed school education. He was once attacked by a werewolf, but just happened to be saved by "Prongs", who happened to be the same person who had disgraced him in public in fifth grade.

There are many ways for Muggles to make antler wine, most of which are directly soaked in wine, and a little thought about medicinal materials, such as the new horns after the aging antlers fall off. At this time, the antlers have hair on the outside and blood inside, which is called blood antlers. , If you want to take it, you can only saw it abruptly.

The **** antlers don't have much "velvet" anymore, so it's difficult to extract effective ingredients. The ancients roasted the antlers red with fire, and then quenched them in wine, just like quenching a sword, but the more quenched the stronger the sword, and the antlers The combination of the broken antlers and the wine used to quench the antlers is called antler wine.

There are acidic and alkaline reactions in chemical experiments, and some aromatic substances are easy to precipitate in acidic or alkaline environments. At this time, many valuable substances have been integrated into the acid, and then these valuable substances are extracted, and the acid The precipitation is not only troublesome, but also leads to the loss of active ingredients.

   But vinegar is only a weak acid, not to mention melting the cutin of deer antlers, not even fishbone. However, vinegar is an important processing method, which can change the properties of drugs and reduce toxicity or side effects. The book only said that vinegar was used to turn wine into wine when extracting the filtrate of Mortla rat, but it didn't say that it was done like that when making staghorn wine.

The vinegar system needs to marinate the medicine in vinegar for a period of time, so that the vinegar can penetrate into the medicine tissue. Neville's well-soaked antlers were lost by Pomona's obscuring spell. I don't know if he will see it next time. Will you be angry.

  So adults should not enter a child’s room casually, let alone mess with his things, lest he fail and say it was his parents’ fault.

  After emptying out the books in the room, this place will belong to Neville, as long as he doesn't boil a pot of potion like he did in first year, and send half of the class to the school infirmary.

   After packing up, Pomona headed to the kitchen to cook the "real" dinner.

  Harry and Hermione would have been Lupin's dinner if Buckbeak hadn't saved them.

   Pomona thought as he watched the mutton gradually browning on the stove. Their subconscious move was to huddle together, like they thought they were a hedgehog.

As for whether Ivan Rosier really died as Pomona guessed, she didn't have any evidence, she only remembered Severus crying very sadly at that time, and the hateful look in his eyes full of tears .

Ivan Rosier did not deny his involvement, and there was a man named Asirie Wiggins, who was in the same group as Rosier, who did not resist like Rosier and was sent to To Azkaban, died in madness.

   Relatively speaking, Ivan Rosier died relatively decently, and his body was finally buried in the family cemetery. This family already had two people related to the Dark Lord, which made it very abnormal for the Rosier family not to join Slytherin. In the same Slytherin class as Chester, there was a boy named Felix Rossier. He liked to raise magical animals. Before Draco Malfoy in the third grade recklessly touched Buckbeak, he He gets along very well with the hippogriff, and he can also use the freezing spell to stop the pimple vines from attacking and successfully take the tree sac, which is a course only learned in the 6th grade.

   But Pomona would still hear students whispering in class that "Rosier's dad is a high-ranking Death Eater", he was always alone, and he rarely saw who he was dealing with.

Even Hufflepuff is not completely harmonious, since the appearance of the fourth champion, Hufflepuff has collectively "boycotted" Harry, but there are still a few lower-grade girls who want to take this "opportunity" to invite Harry Go to the Yule Ball.

This incident was known by the senior girls, and those junior girls were "taught" by the senior girls in the lounge. Justin secretly told Pomona, and Pomona lent the lounge Only by intervening when the plants in the house were changed to flower pots did no serious incidents occur.

She was worried that the girls would repeat the same old tricks. Neville made his Boggart into women's clothing in third year, and he had to dissect a horned toad that was similar to his pet Lafu in fourth year. Severus It went a little too far this time.

Vinegar was also called bitter wine in ancient times. No matter it is grain fermentation or grape fermentation, the only sour taste is obtained. The liquid without ethanol is bitter wine. In a sense, the magic spell of turning vinegar into wine is a recovery of a failed fermentation. .

   After finishing dinner, Pomona left the castle with a picnic basket and came to the greenhouse. She sat at the place where she used to have picnics, looking at the Forbidden Forest in the sunset. The scenery here has not changed much from ten years ago.

  The night breeze was gentle, and some nocturnal insects began to appear, including the butterfly's sister moth.

  They don’t have the gorgeous and colorful wings of butterflies, so they look ugly, but they are willing to get close to the fire in order to chase the light, even if it will be ignited by the fire, as if it would kill itself.

  But at least they dare to fly towards the light, instead of running away from the light and willingly staying in the dark.

   "Vol... Voldemort," Pomona whispered. She felt sick after saying the word. She ate two mouthfuls of sandwiches and drank a large glass of pumpkin juice to recover.

   "Eiu~" She found herself with goosebumps.

   Think about it, the Animagus potion needs to contain such ugly moth chrysalis and drink it, Pomona would rather work harder.

  She lost the mood to continue eating, returned to the greenhouse, and began to dig the basement.

  She is not what she used to be, and it takes a lot of help to dig the secret passage from the Whomping Willow to the Shrieking Shack.

   What she needs to worry about is how to make the ground not collapse while the ground is being hollowed out, just like baking a cake. After the protein is sent, the air will enter the foam, and the air will expand after being heated, and the cake will become fluffy. But when the air cools down, the supporting force caused by thermal expansion and contraction will also disappear, and the expansion of air will also cause the foam to burst and disintegrate. Only egg white protein can maintain a stable foam structure during heating.

  She thought about using a honeycomb structure, but she felt that it didn't fit her aesthetic. This is a place where people live and not bees, so why make it into a hive?

  During the Renaissance, there was a man named Petrarch who quoted an ancient Roman poem:

  I'm just a mortal, I don't want to be a god, only want the happiness of mortals.

  Whether it is Albus and Grindelwald who are pursuing the Deathly Hallows, or the mysterious man, they are all pursuing extraordinary power, which is too far away for her.

She likes wooden cabinets and round tables. The chandelier hanging from the ceiling is the same style as the Hufflepuff lounge. Although the furniture is very simple, it is not perfunctory. As Di said, straight lines belong to humans, curves come from God, and all inspiration comes from nature and fantasy.

  She built it into a luxurious tree house. After the bookshelves were formed, she let the books in her pocket "fly" onto the bookshelf. After a few minutes, the secret study looked like a decent one.

  She looked at her "achievement" with satisfaction, and just about to go back the same way, she remembered another thing, wood is most afraid of termites, and she still needs to take precautions.

  The soil heated at high temperature can not only kill the insect eggs and seeds contained in the soil, but also destroy the nutrients in the soil, but in this way, she has to start all over again.

   It took her and Severus half an hour to pack these things, which meant that she would spend an hour restoring them to their original state, not including the time to unpack the furniture.

   "Why didn't you think of it earlier!" She cursed angrily, just about to use the double-sided mirror to call Severus out, but hesitated again.

  It is not appropriate to call him out alone when it is dark, the castle gates are closed, although with his current ability, there is no need to worry about not being able to go back.

  So she put the mirror back and went back to work alone.

   "This is the result of not going through your brain when you do things." She complained and started to work.

   Maybe one day, this room will be discovered by others like the dungeon and Casino’s laboratory. What would the discoverer feel if he saw that the books in this secret room were all worm-eaten?

They may not know who she is, just like the other deans of Hufflepuff for thousands of years, even the name of the principal is unknown to many people, and maybe they can't find who to blame except for their bad luck Alright.
