"The relationship between the quality of fire retardant potion and the temperature of the protective flame?"

Merlin felt familiar with the question.

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized something.

No!

Isn't this the penultimate test of getting the Philosopher's Stone, passing the black flame test?

I didn't expect that they would give a hint at the beginning of the school year.

It seems that Snape and Dumbledore were well prepared.

Even this homework was probably to help Harry Potter get familiar with the fire retardant potion so that he could deal with the last level.

The little wizards from the other three academies were even supporting roles.

Worthy of being an old bat!

Merlin sighed and looked at Ernie and Justin again.

"What do you think?"

"We?"

The two of them were stunned for a moment. What should they think?

Or rather, what should they think?

"What do you think is the purpose of this assignment?"

"punish!"

"Torture!"

The two said in unison, obviously full of resentment.

"No, it's obviously wrong to think so. You have to analyze...ah, it's Snape's intention."

"He has many ways to torture you, why did he choose this one?"

The two were stunned. They looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Merlin, I don't know"

"That's because he wants to use this method to prove that we Hufflepuffs are no match for him."

Merlin said seriously.

"Because of my performance in Potions class, Snape hated us Hufflepuffs, so he made things so difficult for you."

"Why?"

They didn't understand what this mattered.

"Even Malfoy knew we didn't like Snape, but I slapped him in the face. What do you think?"

"I understand!"

After all, both of them were of noble origin, so these simple interpersonal relationships were still clear.

After a slight silence, I realized that this was Snape's revenge on Hufflepuff.

"But don't Slytherins have to do homework too? And Ravenclaw and Gryffindor?"

Ernie asked

"Do you think Snape will deduct points from them?"

"Well……"

Ernie moves his mouth and figures it all out

"So, as long as we don't do well, Slytherin can say that we are still Potions idiots, right?"

"Smart."

Mo Lin nodded.

"So what should we do?"

"We must not let Snape look down on us Hufflepuffs."

After all, the two were new badgers who had not yet learned the essence of the Badger House, the lying down spirit.

Facing Snape's injustice, they still wanted to struggle a little.

If it were Cedric, he would just say whatever, deduct points if you want, anyway, I am a Buddhist.

But this also made it easier for Merlin to fool them.

If they were not motivated to do their homework well, how could they test this magic contract?

"Start writing!"

The two spread out the parchment, took out the Potions textbook, turned to the fireproof potion and began to review.

Merlin also went to the side to prepare new magic detection glasses.

By the way, he wrote a few letters to the shops in Diagon Alley to order materials.

Cedric and the twins still had more than 400 pairs of orders that had not been made.

Including the women's model designed by Qiu Zhang, it is estimated that about 1,000 pairs can be sold in the future.

About 3,000 Galleons of income?

Merlin calculated it and felt helpless.

It was still too little!

At this rate of making money, when can he switch to more advanced ingredients to increase magic power.

It seems that he has to invent some other alchemical products.

Merlin thought about things and an hour passed quickly.

He got up and went to inquire about his roommates.

The two were still lying on the table flipping through books and biting quills, and there was not a single word on the parchment.

Merlin was dumbfounded.

In one hour, even if it was an essay, he could write 2,000 words, right?

He had made more than 100 pairs of glasses, but his two godsons didn't write a single word.

How did he do that?

"This is really hard to write, Merlin!"

Justin sighed.

"I remember the formula of the fire retardant, but when I prepared it in the afternoon, I didn't think about the relationship between quality and flame protection temperature."

"Yes, as long as the potion works, who would think so much?"

"And how do you test the quality of this potion and the temperature of the flame? You can't just drink it once and then burn it again, right?"

Ernie also echoed.

Merlin shook his head.

No wonder the system asked him to change the wizarding world.

Even the Muggle world can use chemical knowledge to accurately analyze potions, and they can still use it.

The ideas of these wizards are really too backward.

"Come, I'll teach you how to do it."

Mo Lin smiled calmly and began to talk about the control variable method that he had learned before.

The two listened to Mo Lin's lecture and gradually became dumbfounded.

Mo Lin inadvertently added a magic contract buff to the two of them, specifying the potion mastery talent.

After a moment.

The explanation was finished.

The two came back to their senses, looked at each other, and felt the impulse in their bodies at the same time.

"Ernie, I…I feel so strong right now!"

"Me too! I think this fire retardant is garbage."

"And this question is not reasonable. What is quality? Shouldn't the concentration of medicine be measured?"

Justin slammed the table and stood up.

"Well, Ernie, let's give Snape a little potion shock and show him who the most talented Potions Master is!"

"Justin, you are right, we must let them know that Hufflepuff is the best!"

……

Merlin was speechless with his mouth twitching.

These two godsons were a little too arrogant.

He had only given them some talent for potion proficiency, so why were they so arrogant? They actually wanted to teach Snape how to make potions.

They didn't know Snape's background, but he knew it all.

This was a tough guy who could create his own spells in the fifth grade, and the method of making potions in the sixth grade revised textbook.

If there was any problem in his field of potion science, it was that he had not yet joined the Extraordinary Apothecary Association.

But Merlin believed that Snape just didn't want to join for some reason.

Otherwise, with his identity as a potion master, there would be no problem at all.

Merlin came back to his senses.

His two roommates had already written half a page of parchment for their papers.

There was a comparison between Merlin's experience in making fireproof potions and their own potion making.

The papers they wrote were indeed good.

But Merlin glanced at their content and still felt that it was a little outrageous.

Justin's paper directly came up with a quantitative analysis

"Combining my experience in refining and the analysis of the efficacy, I think the fireproof potion should have a proportional relationship to the flame temperature."

A resistance effect curve is also drawn below.

Merlin reviewed the homework of various young wizards he had seen before, and had never seen such an outrageous thing.

He turned his head and looked at Ernie's paper.

After a moment, his expression became more complicated.

Ernie was writing quickly, not doing his homework at all, but writing a letter to Snape.

"Professor Snape, first of all, I think your assignment title is wrong."

"The quality of a drug is a subjective judgment. It can only describe the properties of the drug, not the effect of the drug, and is not convenient for learning."

"So I suggest you can define exactly what we are talking about, like what are the criteria for determining quality?"

"I personally recommend concentration, turbidity, and magic fusion.……"

The corner of Mo Lin's mouth twitched.

He didn't dare to think about what kind of storm would be set off in the Potions class next week after this homework was handed in.

He could only say that his godson was very brave. Just don't give him away if something goes wrong.
