Chapter 382 Professor, I want to learn this
"Come in, Taylor, what's the emergency?"

Professor McGonagall was in her office, looking at Andrew with a serious expression.

Because normally, Andrew would not visit unexpectedly, and at this time, most likely some Gryffindor students had caused some trouble.

'Even confinement can't control it?'

Professor McGonagall was sure that Taylor would not interrupt unless it was something important.

"It's not an emergency, but I need some help, Professor."

Andrew said as he took off his bag, "I think I found what I wanted."

"Thing, that, enzyme?"

The professor still remembered what Andrew said.

"Yes, that should be it," Andrew nodded, carefully took out a test tube from his bag, and then began to take out the untreated wood, "These are almost enough."

He tapped the parchment on the table and conjured up a glass basin. "I've tested it. Transfiguration can resist damage during reaction very well."

Andrew put the wood into the basin, roughly estimated it, pointed his wand at the basin, and said, "The water is as clear as a spring."

"Your foundation in spells is getting stronger, Taylor."

"Thank you, Professor."

Andrew nodded and estimated the amount of water - yes, it was all estimation and thinking, there was no stable and accurate steps at all.

After confirming that it was almost done, he cast a Shattering Spell directly at the wood in the basin - because the Transfiguration on the basin was too strong, the wood shattered into sawdust, but it was still intact.

'A bit nervous... just stirring from now on.'

"Next is acid, professor. Because it will react, this step will consume the magic power of Transfiguration."

Because of this, I was also thinking about this step, because Andrew didn't have time to calculate the approximate acid consumption time and speed.

Then it seems like an imitation of industrial processing, with some omissions where necessary and some magic where necessary - anyway, the reagents created by transfiguration will generate a very outrageous existence after the reaction, making the whole experiment very unscientific.

This is also an extremely outrageous phenomenon that Andrew has researched during this period - for example, the simplest reaction between steel and acid, using Transfiguration to turn water into dilute sulfuric acid, and then reacting with iron, normally, ferrous sulfate and hydrogen will be produced, right?

However, the magically transformed sulfuric acid reagent will produce very little detectable ferrous sulfate and almost no hydrogen after reacting with iron.

Yes, only a little, and the weaker the spell strength, the more abnormal the amount of reaction consumption. Not only are the two not in a normal proportion, it is also easy to cause the phenomenon of no product at all, just like Transfiguration is converted into Vanishing Spell - all the products return to nothingness.

Andrew called this interesting phenomenon the Vanishing Spell Effect - the more powerful the spell, the more real the reaction. Weak spells will turn matter into nothingness like the Vanishing Spell, while permanent transformation is like transforming the fake into the real.

However, this was not the time to inquire about this phenomenon. He now needed to demonstrate to Professor McGonagall the effect of the enzyme he had created.

"Professor, in theory there should be an enzyme that can change without acid treatment, but I haven't found it. I can only use some Muggle methods to speed up the reaction."

As Andrew explained, he removed the Transfiguration spell to make the reactants as pure as possible.

"The enzyme itself does not participate. It should be said that it only promotes it. I don't know how to explain it more complicatedly, but Professor, what I can be sure of is that even if it is copied using Transfiguration, it will not participate in the product of the reaction, and even the quality will not change."

He separated out one third of the extract, then used Transfiguration to replicate and increase its value, and then stuffed an estimated amount into the basin - yes, this step was still the same.

"You still have to be careful, Taylor," Professor McGonagall sighed, "Magic experiments have always been the most dangerous. I don't know how many wizards have died while conducting experiments. This is just a matter of considering the enzyme mutation. Even if you refer to a lot of Muggle experiments, you still can't forget this matter."

Andrew was silent for a moment, then nodded quickly—he was indeed a little complacent in forgetting this important matter.

"But, is that all that's going to do?"

"Well, we can even perfectly recover the enzyme later, but preservation is still a problem." Although the results are still in the process of reaction, it does not affect Andrew's request for help - because the technological content of this thing is really average, even if most of it is converted into magic.

"I'll go inform Albus."

Professor McGonagall nodded and walked out without even waiting for the results - but it didn't take long for the professor to come back.

Without a doubt, it is a portrait.

And there was indeed no problem - because it didn't take long for Dumbledore, whose pajamas could still be seen under his wizard robes, to rush over.

"Did Andrew's experiment succeed?"

"It's still in progress," Professor McGonagall pointed to the glass basin on the table - it didn't look beautiful, it was pitch black and looked like dirty water from washing socks.

"Well, the power of Transfiguration, but it was very weak, and even the spell itself was not consumed."

Dumbledore nodded. "How long will it take?"

...

Sorry, Professor, I don't know, but it will probably be ready in a little while.

Given the level of reagents available at Hogwarts, it's already a big deal that I can come up with a test to detect the presence of sugar.

"I'll go get Severus, he's a professional."

Does this have anything to do with potions, Professor?

Andrew was very unsure - but what he was sure of was that if he handed this thing in Potions class, he would be mercilessly ridiculed, and then he would be deducted points from Ravenclaw, and he would also have to be put in detention or something.

However, Dumbledore's execution ability was as superb as ever - Professor Snape was soon invited over.

"Need to test the potion?"

Professor Snape looked at the black basin on the table, then looked at Dumbledore. Andrew didn't know why he felt that Professor Snape was going to pour out the contents of the basin.

"That's it, potions? Are you kidding, Albus?"

A sneer appeared on his face. "This joke is not funny at all. Potions are a precise and rigorous process. Not just any dirty water can be called a potion."

"But surely you can figure out what's inside, Severus?"

Dumbledore showed no sign of being offended by the offensive tone, he just looked at Snape with a smile.

"I hope that if there is such a stupid thing again, I can ask another professor for help."

With a sigh, Professor Snape began to get busy - he disdainfully scooped out some liquid from a bottle, and then cast a spell skillfully.

Then, an even more disgusted voice came out.

"It's not a potion. It's just some sugar water with some grass roots or something else's roots, all corrupted... mixed with a little bit of magic and some random substances, even a tiny bit of toxicity that can cause diarrhea - it has nothing to do with potions."

???

Damn it?

What is this, professor? I want to learn this!

Andrew, who was struggling to analyze the ingredients, widened his eyes, but not only him, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall also looked serious all of a sudden.
