Study Days at Hogwarts

Chapter 215 A false alarm

Potions class in the afternoon was simply a torment for the students. There was nothing that could be done about it. Anyone who had to face Snape's gloomy face could not help but tremble with fear. Some students were even driven to a nervous breakdown.

Many students were afraid of Snape. They were afraid of being watched by Snape when they were making potions, and they were also afraid of being called up by Snape to ask questions during class.

In the entire magical world, there are actually very few wizards who are really good at brewing potions, and there are even fewer potions masters like Snape, so it is unrealistic to expect everyone to become a potion master like him.

The two classes in the afternoon went smoothly. Snape taught everyone how to prepare hair growth potions in class. In Albert's view, this potion is simply good news for middle-aged bald men. If this potion were improved and sold in the Muggle world, it would probably be snapped up like crazy.

"Anderson, stay after class." Snape stood behind Albert and watched him brew the potion. After a long time, Snape suddenly said softly.

"Yeah!" Albert responded casually, casting a look of nothing at Fred and the others next to him. Although Albert did feel a little guilty when facing Snape, he was sure that Snape would not be able to see through his thoughts.

After all, he is already a man with level 3 Occlumency. Even if Snape directly pulls out his wand and uses Legilimency on him, he may not be able to dig out the desired memory from Albert.

The bell rang, and the students in the classroom couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. After hurriedly handing in the potion samples, they left the potions classroom as if fleeing.

"Did you add too much ginger root to the hair growth potion?" Snape asked, staring at Albert's potion sample.

"Added twice, five tablets." Albert curled his lips and said, "The effect of the hair growth potion is obviously more significant."

Snape stared at Albert for a long time, his eyes seemed to shine with a strange light. Then, he took out a folded piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Albert, saying in a strange tone, "It seems that you are very famous now?"

Albert was a little confused at first, but he still reached out and took the parchment handed over by Snape, but heard the other party say again: "Do you know what happened last night?"

"You mean a Slytherin student was caught wandering at night?" Albert looked away from the parchment and raised the corners of his mouth happily, "That is really a regrettable thing."

"Now take your little cleverness and disappear from my face." Snape motioned for Albert to get out.

Albert shrugged his shoulders, stuffed the parchment into his pocket, turned around and left the dark and cold Potions classroom, hurried forward, and soon caught up with the three people who had slowed down to wait for him.

"Then the old bat didn't do anything to you, right?" Fred asked worriedly, remembering what happened not long ago.

By the way, [\\Mi\\Mi\\Reading\\\\\\] is really good and worth installing. After all, you can cache and read books offline!

"What can happen?" Albert said with a smile.

"What does Snape want from you?" George asked curiously.

"He gave me a letter of introduction!" Albert took out the parchment and explained: "A famous pharmacist is interested in me, probably to see if he can establish correspondence."

"You have a lot of pen pals." Fred glanced at the parchment and asked, "They actually want you to write a manuscript for "The Practical Potion Master"?"

"Probably it has something to do with Hertok Dagworth!" Albert guessed. If Dagworth accidentally mentioned himself to others, the editor-in-chief of "Practical Potion Master" confirmed this through Snape The authenticity is not surprising.

It is known that many academic publications are associated with Hogwarts professors.

"You have a brilliant future." Fred couldn't help but sigh. "The only question is when to become Minister of Magic."

"The Minister of Magic is simply a trap." Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes at the three of them and said with a look of disgust, "Whoever wants to jump can do it."

They couldn't help laughing.

"Today's hair growth potion was good. It seems that you added ginger root slices twice." The four of them walked and chatted towards the library on the fifth floor.

"Well, five tablets. If it can eliminate that annoying pungency, I think the hair growth potion will definitely be very popular in the Muggle world."

"Muggle world?" Li Jordan looked at Albert in astonishment. He knew that his roommate did have the idea of ​​selling potions to Muggles, but this idea was too strange!

"There is no good way to cure baldness in the Muggle world." Albert explained with a smile: "A bunch of rich people will rush to buy it. They are not short of money anyway."

The three of them looked at each other and did not comment on Albert's thoughts.

Most wizards rarely use Muggle money. Although they know that they can use Muggle money to exchange for Galleons from Gringotts,... in fact, most pure-blood wizards don't even have Muggle coins. I can’t even figure it out, let alone think about using this method to make money.

"You start by looking for information on jumping toadstools from the Encyclopedia of Toadstools." Albert said to Fred and the others, "I want to write a letter to Huttok Dagworth."

Albert was going to discuss it with the potion master to see if he could further improve or dilute the hair growth potion to ensure that it would take effect slowly on Muggles without being suspected.

Of course, Albert also wanted to buy dried mandrake roots through Dagworth. Ever since he knew that mandrake roots could be used to make powerful amulets, he couldn't help but want to try it.

"found it!"

Soon after, George interrupted Albert's contemplation and put the page about jumping toadstools in front of everyone.

"Let me take a look." Fred read ten lines at a glance, and muttered as he read: "When picking, you need to be careful not to inhale excessive amounts of jumping toadstool spores, otherwise you will fall into unconsciousness. ... It is best to wear dragon skin gloves. , to avoid skin contact with toadstool spores, which may cause skin redness and swelling...it needs to be taken away with the roots, otherwise the jumping toadstools will easily wither and rot..."

As a poisonous mushroom, there are indeed many things to pay attention to when picking toadstools. If you are not careful, you may be unlucky.

As for the jumping toadstools cultivated in the school greenhouse, they are naturally safer.

Well, the best way to catch jumping toadstools in the wild is the food lure method.

"It seems that the difficulty is higher than expected!" Albert put away the half-written letter and went over to read the information he found together. He thought for a while and said: "The food lure method is a bit difficult for us. , now we can only take advantage of the rainy season to try our luck in the forest."

If you can't find it, you can only buy it from the drug store.

Moreover, as long as anything related to dragons is not cheap, dragon claw powder is no exception.

If you add in the cost of buying dried mandrake roots, your wallet will probably shrink significantly. Albert couldn't help but sigh, and he suddenly found that he didn't have enough Galleons.

Looks like I need to find a way to earn more galleons.
