Snape closed his experiment notebook and looked up at Deveraux, who was slumped in a chair.

At this moment, Deveraux looked like an eggplant in a vegetable garden that had been hit by a cold wave.

There was no life.

The Lovegoods had already left and went to the accommodation arranged by the school.

Today's experimental tasks have been completed. In fact, most of them were handled by Snape.

Ever since Deveraux glanced at Luna at the door, he seemed to have been drained of his soul. He didn't say a word, and even the Lovegoods were frightened by his state.

The meeting was forced to end early.

Snape walked up to Deveraux, frowning and speaking impatiently.

"So you plan to keep looking like this? It's up to you, you can stay as long as you want, and remember to wash the measuring cup."

He said coldly, turned around and prepared to leave.

"It was done by the Priory of Tindalos, right?"

Deveraux suddenly spoke.

Snape stopped and was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect Deveraux to say this.

"Two weeks ago, Luna was bitten; two weeks ago, I was attacked by the Priory. Before that, I sent a letter to Luna's family, and the one who attacked me was the owl they wrote back to me. Professor, you didn't fail to notice the connection between these two things?"

Snape's face flashed with shock for a moment, but it was quickly covered up and replaced by a cold teasing.

"Oh? So you think you caused her to be infected with lycanthropy? Is this why you are so grumpy now?"

Deveraux sat up slowly and whispered.

"Well... if I hadn't replied to that letter to them, they wouldn't have been attacked, and Luna wouldn't have been infected... her life might have been ruined by me..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, almost inaudible.

Snape's expression suddenly looked like he had swallowed some wrong potion, his brows furrowed fiercely, and he walked to the sink with disgust to wash his hands, his movements were extremely strong, as if his hands were covered with unbearable filth.

"Oh my god, I really want to vomit. Why did I accept you as my apprentice... You are so stupid!"

Deveraux lowered his head and agreed sullenly.

"Yes, yes, I am an idiot..."

Snape couldn't hold it anymore. His face turned black. He didn't even turn off the faucet. He turned around and took a few steps to Deveraux and lifted him up from the chair.

"Listen, idiot! You made two unforgivable mistakes!"

Snape's voice was low and powerful. He stared into Deveraux's eyes, but his speech was unusually clear.

"First! Xenophilius Lovegood has been publishing those unspeakable things in newspapers for a long time. It's only a matter of time before he is targeted! You just brought things forward a little! Do you understand?"

Deveraux nodded slightly, but still didn't dare to look Snape in the eye.

"Second! Don't you have a chance to save it? Is she dead? The girl is still alive now, she is standing in front of you, she can still talk and laugh! Since there is still a chance to make up for it, what's the point of your dead look?!"

After saying that, Snape mercilessly threw Deveraux back to the chair, turned around and walked to the sink to pick up the towel.

"Now, go back and take a shower and get your spirits up. Tomorrow's experiment is the first step, and then we will continue to study how to extend the shelf life of the potion. Figure out what you should do!"

Deveraux was silent for a moment, and murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself, or as if seeking guidance.

"To extend the shelf life... you can try the condensation process, separate the core ingredients and store them, and activate them when they are needed... However, this may cause the efficacy to be unstable. Or, use some stabilizers with high magic compatibility..."

He paused, looking a little hesitant.

"Another way is to directly strengthen the active ingredients in the potion, but that may increase the failure rate..."

Snape paused in wiping his hands, and a rare smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He glanced back at Devereux.

"Well, according to my experience, the second method won't work, as the stabilizer will interfere with the efficacy of the drug. But the first and third methods can be tried, and we can start this weekend. I originally thought of the first method."

After he finished speaking, he threw the towel on the table and walked towards the door.

"The extension time is not enough."

Deverreux suddenly spoke, with an unquestionable firmness in his voice.

Snape turned his head and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Wolfsbane potion can only keep her sane during the full moon. This is not enough. I want to make a potion that can completely eradicate lycanthropy!"

Snape was silent for a moment, with a meaningful expression on his face.

"It's up to you. This road is difficult, but she will stay in school for a while, and you have a chance to try. Oh, by the way, don't forget to wash the beaker."Snape left the lab after he finished speaking, leaving Deveraux standing there alone.

Deveraux's mouth twitched, he sighed helplessly, walked to the sink, and began to clean up the instruments used in the experiment.

His mind gradually became clear about the future plan.

The feeling of wanting to do something when he saw Neville's parents in the hospital before reached its peak at this time.

No matter what.

Even if it is made up!

He must brew a potion that can completely cure lycanthropy!

——

Diagon Alley.

Second floor of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association.

"Sir, is it true that Hogwarts has developed a potion to treat lycanthropy?"

The man who spoke was short and had fluffy white hair.

Wearing a pinstriped suit, a bright red tie, and a long black cloak.

He looked like a kind old man.

Sir Granger sat opposite him, but his face did not have much expression, and he seemed a little indifferent.

But Granger, who was sitting opposite him at this time, seemed to be a little indifferent to him.

"No, Fudge, the potion that can keep the patient rational in the wolf state cannot completely cure lycanthropy."

However, after hearing this, Fudge's mood did not change at all, and he still said with a flushed face.

"Oh my God, even if it is so, it is a huge breakthrough! At this international exchange conference, we in England can come up with such results, haha, oh, this is really a great thing! The Ministry of Magic that I am in office can have such results so quickly is really a matter of time and fate!"

And Granger was there looking at Fudge coldly.

This politician with a big belly probably wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make some capital.

Then Granger said coldly.

"Oh? Really? There are so many things happening recently, and it may not be the Ministry of Magic of this term that will participate in this international exchange conference."

Hearing this, Fudge's expression gradually became stiff, and his originally flushed face turned slightly pale.
