Chapter 26 Rights and Obligations of Working for Free
After class, the Hufflepuff students looked at Lin Xia with worry, fearing that Lin Xia would be eaten by the poisonous potion professor.
Draco said, "I'll go with you. My father has a good relationship with Professor Snape. For my father's sake, he won't do anything to you."
Ron agreed, "Lin Xia, let Draco go with you."
Hermione was speechless, "We should go together. We can't let Lin Xia face the professor alone."
Ron thought of Snape's appearance and shook his head in fear, "Draco has connections, so he won't be scolded. We can't go, and we will definitely be punished."
Draco gave Ron a look that said "you are very sensible."
Harry couldn't get a word in, but he felt that he should go together, but he also felt that his relationship with Lin Xia had not yet reached the point where they could share hardships.
I kind of want to go, but I kind of don't want to go. This is too complicated.
Lin Xia raised her hand and called for a stop. "I know you are worried about me, but don't worry, he is a professor at the school and won't do anything to me."
She smiled with her eyes slightly curved, cunning and smart: "Besides, I don't think it's a bad thing for him to ask me to come over. Have you forgotten that I contradicted him, but he didn't deduct my points."
This reason convinced everyone else, except Draco, who was still following her after lunch and chattering.
Lin Xia looked at Toure and Robin. Toure and Robin looked at each other, lifted Draco up, and walked away.
"Lin Xia, wait for me, I will definitely go to save you!"
"Lin Xia, if it doesn't work, call my father's name!"
Lin Xia: ...
Perhaps, she should remind Draco not to read too many novels.
People who don't know would think she is going to face a dragon!
Professor Snape's office is underground, not far from the potions classroom.
Lin Xia walked in and felt that the room was very dim. There were hundreds of glass bottles on the shelves, and sticky animal and plant specimens were floating in colorful potions.
Snape was lowering his head, concentrating on making potions.
He poured three bottles with green liquid into the crucible, and Lin Xia seemed to smell a faint smell of grass.
He put two bundles of grass-like plants in, stirred three times clockwise, and then waved his wand.
Although he didn't recite the spell, Lin Xia could feel the magic power flowing in the crucible.
After doing all this, Professor Snape looked up at Lin Xia and said in an arrogant tone:
"This is prepared for an incompetent person who is incapable of standing in the position he belongs to. Your waiting is worth knowing the name of the potion - Polyjuice Potion."
Lin Xia thought for a few seconds and said: "Polyjuice Potion, a potion that can turn the drinker into someone else. This potion is very advanced and very complicated to make. It is divided into two stages and the entire production process takes a month."
Snape nodded slightly: "Your theoretical knowledge is very good."
Lin Xia smiled: "Draco's theory is better than mine, and he loves potions very much."
"But his talent is not as good as yours." Snape said bluntly.
As a potion master, Snape has an extraordinary vision. After only two classes, he has figured out many young wizards.
Draco has a good talent for potions and can control the amount of potions very accurately. He will be an excellent potion maker in the future.
However, Lin Xia has a beast-like intuition about the combination of potion types. She is more suitable for creation than making them step by step.
In his eyes, Lin Xia already has the potential to be a potion master.
Professor Snape invited Lin Xia: "When I exchanged letters with Lucius, he often mentioned you to me, saying that you have unique insights on Eastern magic plants. Are you interested in joining my laboratory?"
If it were other professors, Lin Xia would think they appreciated her talent.
But when it came to Snape, why did she feel more and more weird?
Could it be that he was trying to trick her into working for nothing?
Lin Xia said cautiously: "Professor, I need to think about it. I have just enrolled and don't know the school's learning situation or whether the academic pressure is great. In addition, what can I get by joining your laboratory?"
She didn't ask what Snape could get.
That was his laboratory, not hers.
The potion born in his laboratory was born with his name.
If she really made some innovative or improved potion, it would not only help her, but also help Snape's reputation.
The greater the reputation, the more people will flock to it, and the price of the potion will also rise.
Snape dragged his voice and said: "It's a very reasonable request. Slytherin never refuses a fair deal."
He handed Lin Xia a piece of paper, which was filled with things to do to join his laboratory and the benefits that could be obtained.
Lin Xia just glanced at it and put it in her pocket and left. This was not a place for research.
Back to the golden wooden house, there was still some time to rest, so Lin Xia took out the note to check.
[Power]
1. You can get a certain amount of magic plants every month to practice potions
2. You will be guided at any time when you encounter difficulties in refining potions
3. You can use the laboratory channel to purchase rare magic plants
...
[Obligations]
1. You need to make a certain amount of potions according to my requirements every month
2. The project is initiated by me
3. The loss share is determined by me
Lin Xia saw this and didn't read it anymore.
She tapped the tabletop lightly with her knuckles, making a dull thumping sound.
"Although the benefits are obvious, I can also buy potions from Uncle Lucius, which is not necessarily much more expensive than here. Once you join, the constraints are too obvious. Isn't it obvious that I am using guidance in exchange for free work?
The most important thing is, how to distribute the benefits of the potion I made is not written on it. Could he want to keep it all for himself?"
Lin Xia shook her head. It was a standard indenture!
Putting the note away, she took the time to rest and wanted to test the ability of the golden wooden house.
After sleeping for about twenty minutes, Lin Xia was awakened by the magic alarm clock and found that she was very energetic, comparable to when she woke up in the morning.
Her eyes lit up slightly. This wooden house really has the special effect of restoring fatigue!
Gold means "supernormal". The golden wooden house is estimated to have far more effects than restoring fatigue and enhancing inspiration. I will find time another day to come and investigate.
In the afternoon, there was a herbal class. Lin Xia, Draco and his roommates came to the greenhouse on time.
The Herbology class is held in the greenhouse outside Hogwarts, which is divided into the first greenhouse, the second greenhouse, and the third greenhouse according to the grade...
Professor Sprout walked in wearing a gray dress, a pair of dragon leather gloves, and a few weeds mixed in the cuffs, looking like a simple farmer.
She said happily: "Welcome to the Herbology class, you will study this course until the fifth grade. Now, take out your "Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", and let's first learn about the medicinal properties of herbs."
"Rather than telling you theoretical knowledge, I want you to discover the properties of herbs yourself, such as the white fresh grass, which has a very powerful healing effect in the wizarding world. The white fresh essence extracted from it can almost heal cuts, lacerations and other external injuries immediately, and will not leave scars..."
Professor Sprout said while taking the little wizard to observe the white fresh grass.
She personally tore off the wings of a flying insect in front of the little wizard, and just wiped the juice of the white fresh grass. After a while, the flying insect flew again.
