#14 - Chapter 14 Snape's Concern

The next day, early in the morning, the professors all rushed back, excited after learning about Sebastian's donation.

Everyone was very excited, even engaging in minor squabbles about how to decorate the school.

However, these small disputes didn't affect the professors' feelings for each other.

After Sebastian's careful guidance, the professors all understood how to use these alchemical items.

To improve efficiency, Professor McGonagall first cleared all the tables and chairs from the Great Hall, then had Sebastian display all the alchemical items.

The professors were all full of enthusiasm.

Each displayed their unique abilities, taking the assigned alchemical items and heading to their respective areas to begin the busy work of setting things up.

Sebastian and Snape, meanwhile, went to the Slytherin common room together.

As soon as they entered the common room, Sebastian couldn't help himself and teased:

"Oh my! Is this our Potions Professor? What a transformation!"

"When I saw you just now, I almost didn't recognize you!"

"Look at that flowing black hair."

"Not greasy at all anymore."

"Much more handsome!"

"Why the long face? Smile more!"

Snape glared at Sebastian, annoyed, and ignored him, his wand never ceasing its work.

"Later, I'll take you to get some clothes."

"As for that black robe you're wearing, throw it as far away as you can."

"The way the wind blows when you walk, you look like a giant bat."

Listening to Sebastian's incessant chatter, a tic began to form on Snape's forehead.

He didn't say a word, only waving his wand faster.

"After we get you some clothes, I'll take you to the Muggle world."

"We'll find a famous Tony stylist to give you a trendy haircut."

"If you like, we can buy clothes after we get to the Muggle world."

"Just leave it to me!"

Sebastian patted his chest.

"Money is no object!"

"I guarantee they'll all be Muggle brand names."

Seeing that Sebastian showed no sign of stopping, Snape was helpless and interrupted:

"I heard that you're going to distribute the profits from the Quidditch World Cup to the three schools."

"And today you donated so many alchemical items to Hogwarts."

"Has our richest man changed careers to become Santa Claus?!"

Although Snape's tone was flat, Sebastian still felt his concern for his friend in his words.

Sebastian and Snape had been friends for many years, and he knew this guy's way of expressing concern too well.

A tsundere who says one thing and does another!

He didn't care that Snape had changed the subject and quickly responded to his old friend's concern.

"On the surface, there will indeed be some losses in the short term."

"But it doesn't matter, Swann Alchemy doesn't lack this bit of galleons."

"The reason for doing this is all for Swann Media."

"Swann Media is still an emerging department under Swann Alchemy."

"Although it became popular with the Quidditch World Cup."

"But now wizards still prefer the Daily Prophet!"

"I want to slowly let Swann Media overwhelm the Daily Prophet with one opportunity after another."

"Until Swann Media enters every wizard's home and completely replaces the Daily Prophet."

Sebastian looked around the newly renovated Slytherin common room and said naturally:

"As for these alchemical items, I'm really grateful to Hogwarts for giving me this opportunity!"

Grateful? ? ?

Giving people money and still thanking them?

Is this guy's brain broken?

Snape's heart was full of doubts.

"Look at the Swann Alchemy logo on these alchemical items."

"The young wizards will spend seven years with these items day and night."

"Before they graduate, they will become loyal customers of Swann Alchemy."

"This is the power of advertising."

"I learned this method from a Muggle celebrity named Jobs."

"Absolutely useful!"

Sebastian patted Snape on the shoulder and said smugly:

"Severus, don't just focus on the immediate benefits, think long term!"

Seeing Sebastian becoming smug again, Snape cursed in his heart.

This stinky swan.

Always so purposeful.

Using one thing to achieve two or more goals.

So shrewd!

While speaking, the two arrived at the dormitory area and began to install magic lamps and replace alchemical beds.

"By the way, Severus, I sent you some chemistry experiment books when I was in the Muggle world before, have you read them?"

"Regarding the lighting of the laboratory, the control of the heat during the experiment, etc., do you have any ideas?"

Hearing Sebastian's question, Snape couldn't hide his contempt.

"Perhaps you've been in the Muggle world for too long and have forgotten that you are a wizard."

"When brewing potions, the reaction time in the potion is uncertain, and you need to use magic to carefully sense it, adding various potion ingredients when it changes."

"This is why, even when brewing the same potion, each Potions Master's operation will be different."

"As for the potion brewing steps in the textbook, such as adding the medicinal materials after the potion turns red."

"It's just a fool-proof tutorial for laymen."

Sebastian turned around and saw Snape's expression of caring for an idiot, and immediately knew that he had misunderstood.

He chuckled and said, "Of course I know to use magic to sense it!"

"Don't forget, I'm only inferior to you in potion research, but in terms of potion brewing alone, you haven't beaten me yet!"

Snape was immediately a little choked up.

Stabbing him in the heart again!

He, a dignified Potions Master, was actually compared to a businessman in terms of potion brewing.

Despicable!

Having said that, this stinky swan does have some skill in potion brewing.

Relying on his unparalleled magical perception talent.

He can always brew the most perfect potion.

Before Snape could organize his counterattack, he heard Sebastian explain.

"But the little wizards' magic is too weak, especially the little wizards below the sixth grade."

"They have almost no ability to use magic to sense the changes in the potion brewing process."

"They can only rely on vision to observe the changes in the potion!"

"Moreover, even a genius like you only discovered the wonderful use of magic perception in the 4th grade!"

"Before you can use magic perception, the chemical experiment operations in the Muggle world are still very valuable for teaching reference!"

"Besides, I observed that temperature is also an important factor affecting potion brewing."

"The chemistry laboratory in the Muggle world can control the temperature more accurately!"

"How about this."

"I have a laboratory in the Muggle world, you can go there for a few more experiments later."

"Maybe, you can push potion brewing into the next era."

Snape was skeptical, but his heart was full of anticipation.

After saying that, Sebastian added:

"By the way, when teaching potions class to the little wizards in the future, remember to turn up the magic lights a bit."

"The basement is too dark."

Um......

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Looking up at the bright magic lamp, Snape thought fiercely in his heart!

The conditions are so good now.

Let's see who makes a mess in Potions class again!
