Chapter 98: potions competition second place

The people are asked to identify the materials inside the display box.

The time limit is one hour and the number of materials is 100.

Each floating item has a number beside it and they have to write the number and name of the material.

Jonathan immediately wrote the list of hundred materials.

His memory is good and he can identify easily.

But the problem comes when actually brewing a potion.

The process is harder than other areas.

So Jonathan has to do things slowly.

After 10 minutes Jonathan handed over the list of identification to the examiner.

Quickly an hour passed by and in the first round Jonathan actually came first.

Snape did not smile because he did not think that reaching the first place in identifying is something great.

But in the 120 participants 70 people are directly removed.

The top 50 were taken to their respective stands in the order of their rank in the first round.

Jonathan naturally occupied the first potions making table.

He checked his equipment carefully as every other participant did.

There are always unexpected thing so carefully checking the equipment and materials is the duty of the participant.

If something happened in the middle then the responsibility falls on the participant instead of the organizer.

With that the second competition begins.

It is to make a minor healing potion that can cure scars and burns along with minor injuries.

The process takes an hour for brewing this potion if it was done properly.

The effects determine the winner in this care and the color of the potion gives the quality measurement from 1 to 10 based on the grading of the ministry of magic.

With that the winner of the competition is decided.

Also only 10 people can move on to the next stage and final stage.

In the final stage only one person can win.

Jonathan immediately took the ingredients and selected the good ones based on his knowledge.

After washing his cauldron he began to process the materials and started by heating water.

In many cases the potions making is more like cooking.

Jonathan is very good at cooking with delicate control.

He cleaned the materials namely red berry fruits, roots of water lilies………

Then he put the things into the cauldron in the order of making the minor healing potion.

If things went well he might make a better grade minor healing potion.

………..

An hour passed quickly in the silent hall with only the sound of potions brewing.

Many smells intertwined as the process of making this potion in various countries is different.

Jonathan was silent during this time and did the work diligently.

Finally after an hour the judges came over with equipment that can measure the quality of the minor healing potion.

It was actually a glass tube with some liquid inside.

When it was dipped into the potion, the liquid inside would raise up like the mercury in a thermometer.

Then it would show the rating.

Jonathan got the first inspection and got the rating 9.4.

Then the other 49 candidates were checked one after the other.

Well among them 19 of them has actually failed to either complete the potion or failed to even brew it properly.

Jonathan came in the third place.

There are two other people that scored 9.4 and 9.5

The person that scored 9.4 along with Jonathan has actually brewed the potion few moments earlier.

There are few other factors that are checked and Jonathan was given third place.

Jonathan did not say anything about this matter.

The expression on the face of Snape is still the same.

No one knows he was happy or sad or he was angry of depressed or he was laughing or crying.

It is actually a funny expression that can even make joker and Harley Quinn run for their money.

With that the top 10 is decided and the remaining people were told to leave the potions making tables to the spectator’s side.

The remaining 10 people that are eligible for the third round are standing in their places.

Soon the third round the potion is announced and the time limit is 3 hours.

It is the famous bone growing potion called Skele- Gro.

It is a very useful potion and it would be taught in the fourth year at Hogwarts.

So anyone with the fourth year’s knowledge about potions can easily know how to brew this potion.

But the potion with actually good quality is the question.

Once again the 10 participants started to get into actions and begin the process of brewing.

The twigs of the bone tree, the blood berries………

The ingredients were quickly process by Jonathan and immediately got into work.

All the potions masters are showing a solemn expression without giving a single hint to the competitors.

Another peaceful three hours has passed and the brewing is completed.

In the checking Jonathan got the score of 9.1 which is quite high.

This time he got the second place among the 10 but he is not the winner.

In these competitions there is only first place.

As for the second place is a runner up which is not that much worth.

But the difference between Jonathan and the winner is just 0.1 points.

That is right the first place made a potion with the rating of 9.2.

Jonathan did not care and he simply congratulated the other party.

Also Jonathan is the youngest and was able to make it to the second position over all.

This shows that he has great potential.

So he was praised by few other potions masters and some even praised professor Snape.

His face showed a different expression for the first time.

Jonathan guessed that professor Snape is most probably laughing right now from the different expression that he is showing.

Well after this was over Jonathan got the runner up prize which is a rare ingredient that he was looking for.

Receiving the prize Jonathan and Snape departed…….
