Chapter 2564 Smoke and Mirrors (30)

The word werewolf comes from the Anglo-Saxon language, where wer means "person" and wolf means "wolf". The reason why people are placed in front of wolves is because the transformation process of werewolves is from human to wolf.

Animagus emphasizes the transformation from animals to humans, so animal is placed in front of magus.

However, in non-Anglo-Saxon languages, werewolves are called lycantrope, lykos means wolf, and anthropos means human. Some werewolves call themselves "lycaon", and there are also werewolves who call themselves moonborn as Kettleburn said.

The difference is that the former is very satisfied with his current state, while the latter hopes to completely transform into a wolf or a human through sacrifice.

Moonborn people believe that werewolves and blood orcs are similar in that they have been cursed. Eventually, they will become complete animals, that is, real wolves. There is no difference between real wolves and wolves, except that they can understand human speech.

As for those who want to return to human form, they observe the "fast" and insist on not eating human flesh. Their situation is somewhat similar to Remus Lupin. The difference is that they rely on prayer to maintain their rationality, while Remus has wolfsbane potion.

You can drink it.

This is not meaningless. There is a werewolf who calls himself Toss and maintains rationality to a certain extent after transforming. However, this is only a very rare phenomenon. The vast majority of werewolves still lose their rationality after transforming.

The strange movements of werewolves have put the Ministry of Magic in various countries on high alert, but some people from the British Ministry of Magic, led by Ludo Bagman, think this has nothing to do with it. Werewolves can also love Quidditch, right? Scamander

He went to the Ministry of Magic for a meeting just for this matter. He heard from "sources" that Ludo Bagman had opened a gambling bureau about the Quidditch World Cup. He was more interested in his work at the Ministry of Magic.

Gambling. Barty Crouch, who worked with him to organize the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, could not make Bagman change his mind. Compared with the scandal-ridden former Director of the Department of Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic, Bagman has more supporters

.

"So the entire Ministry of Magic took the day off to attend that event?" Pomona asked Scamander.

"Not everyone. There are still people working in the Department of International Magical Cooperation. Don't forget that Barty Crouch is the minister of that department." Scamander put a cup of tea in front of Pomona, "especially the Trading Standards Association."

"What are they going to do?" Pomona asked.

"Improved version of Wolfsbane potion test. In order to make the competition fair, the Trading Standards Association lent the scale, which is enough for a person to stand on it. This scale is enchanted, and any levitation spell or weightlessness spell will not affect it."

She was so shocked that she felt very uncomfortable imagining Remus standing on the scales.

"The nomination of the Improved Wolfsbane Potion attracted a lot of attention, because many Potions Masters from Europe wanted to watch it, even though their original purpose was to watch the Quidditch World Cup." Scamander said, "If

It has been proven that it is indeed effective, just like the finals were held in advance, and the winner of the Prince Award must be the improved version of Wolfsbane Potion."

Pomona was in a complicated mood. She was about to take a sip of tea when she thought of milk, then cheese, and then she glanced at the dragon cheese in her velvet pocket.

"Neville!" she yelled.

"coming!"

After a while, Neville trotted into the living room.

"How did you find it?" Pomona asked.

Neville shook his head. "I find that there seems to be no difference between potions and herbs, Professor. They are all made of raw materials with magical properties."

He handed Pomona a copy of Scamander's manual "Just like it says."

Pomona looked at Scamander.

"I can take care of animals, but I'm not good at teaching." Scamander smiled awkwardly.

So Pomona looked at Neville.

"At the beginning, the name of the herbalism course was not 'herbology', but 'herbalism'. Biology is biology, which studies the structure, function and development of living things, while herbalism is herbal medicine, the medicine used by Madam Pomfrey.

Many are herbal medicines." Pomona replied, "Herbal medicines extract useful ingredients from plants. For example, Peruvian wizards use wine to extract certain ingredients from black vines, forming an 'umbilical cord relationship' with the forest. Even if a Muggle understands

How to find and make these magical materials? They can also make herbal medicine, but the effect is not as good as that of wizards. Magic medicines attach great importance to the operation of wizards. Even some materials without magical properties will have magical properties after passing through their hands.

"

Neville nodded.

"It used to be difficult to find those magical materials. If necessary, wizards would use magic spells to climb mountains to collect the tears of the phoenix. But because of international trade, you can easily buy them in stores..."

"Phoenix tears?" Scamander asked.

He obviously did it on purpose, but Pomona didn't intend to pay attention to him, and then said to Neville, "It's like a wand. In the past, wizards had to go to the forest to find it themselves. Sometimes they would encounter very dangerous carnivorous plants and dangerous animals. You

You need to know how to repel them, and although there are many trees in a forest, there are very few trees suitable for making wands. When making herbal medicine, you need to set standards for selecting materials. The magic power of the herbal maker cannot make up for the inherent shortcomings of the medicinal materials."

"In other words, you are more dependent on the plants, rather than the plants relying on you." Scamander said to Neville.

"It's not that we don't rely on you, but that we rely on your daily care of them. We take good care of the plants and animals. The healthier they are, the better the quality of the magic materials they can provide us. Do you still have your dragon cheese?

" Pomona asked.

"Here." Neville took the gift out of his coat pocket.

"If it were ordinary cheese, it would have melted in your pocket, Neville." Pomona said. "Fortunately, it's fire dragon cheese. You can eat it and use it to make herbal medicine, but in "Dragon's Blood"

Even though "21 Ways to Use Dragon's Blood" mentions that dragon's blood can be used as a cleaning agent, no one actually uses dragon's blood to clean housework."

"In other words, you have to wait until you become proficient in the operation before you can use it to make herbal medicine." Scamander said. "Animal fats and oils can also be used to extract ingredients from plants."

Neville stared at the dragon cheese in his hand thoughtfully.

"Where's your Bowtruckle?" Pomona asked Scamander.

"I'm sorry, what did you say?" Scamander asked as if he was deaf.

She also asked casually, not really wanting to know where the Bowtruckle had gone. While drinking tea, she couldn't help but wonder why Albus had to write about dragon's blood as a cleaning agent, and there were 21 ways to use it, 20 of them.

What is the problem?

==================================================

===========

"Advanced Potion Making" was written by Libasio Pollachi, who graduated from Castrobushe. Strictly speaking, it is difficult to distinguish the difference between herbs and potions. Some potions are also applied on the body surface like herbs.

For example, if you apply fire retardant ointment on your body, you don’t have to worry about flame burns. Theoretically, herbal medicine pays more attention to treatment. Applying burn ointment can make the wound recover quickly. However, some herbs have offensive power. Black Vine Water can not only assist Legilimency and Seize

The soul curse can also destroy the brain defense. If it is destroyed by force, the person's brain is basically destroyed, but it seems to be divided into magic potions now.

During the era of geographical discovery, herbalists mainly focused on discovering new plants, such as the functions and structures of gillweed, and leaving their discoveries by writing books. By Pomona's time, it had begun

When it comes to potions, Toots' rejuvenation potion and rejuvenation potion are very useful.

Pomona herself generally does not prepare rejuvenating agents and rejuvenating agents. After all, there is a "high-ranking" potion master working for the "horticulturist" in the past. She only needs to adjust the proportion of experimental rejuvenating agents and rejuvenating agents on various magical plants.

That’s it.

Fang Henshao was tired when the book came to use, and now she had to prepare the potion by herself.

When talking about people who live in isolation, we have to mention Zygmunt Bacchi, the author of "The Book of Potions". In the seventh chapter of the book he wrote, in addition to the production process of the elixir, he also recorded a man named

The story of the wizard Tertius. He was the youngest and only wizard in his family. Out of fear of his strange powers, his family kicked him out of the house. Tertius fell into the sea while escaping and was washed away by the waves.

On Metra Island.

21 is a multiple of 7. Is that why Albus filled in the line about using dragon's blood as a cleaning agent?

Severus believed that Voldemort decided to create seven Horcruxes after reading that book.

The dance music sounded again, and young people entered the dance floor in pairs and began to dance the waltz.

This time it was not Alice who was dancing with the Duke of Arenberg's nephew, but a Spanish noblewoman. Alice was glaring at them with annoyance.

Was it because Bonaparte was away that no one asked her to do the "opening dance"?

She was looking around for her guardian, Richard Edgeworth, when a tall black-haired man walked towards her.

"Can I ask you to dance?" the man said to her in English and extended his hand to invite her.

She almost felt like she had been petrified, because the person standing in front of her was clearly Sirius Black.

Happy Teachers' Day, moon face
