Chapter 183 Drink the potion and accept the invitation
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
After a period of waiting, Luke finally saw a finished product.
The fluorescent green potion left Luke without the slightest appetite.But looking at the expression on Snape's face, with a bit of anticipation in his seriousness, he felt as if he couldn't say anything more.
"I have to tell you in advance, Luke." Snape looked at Luke and said with a serious face, "The amount of medicinal materials here is indeed limited. Things like phoenix tears can still be obtained, but other medicinal materials It’s really rare. If Dumbledore hadn’t said that he would give me additional funds to buy it separately, and the little girl Taylor wanted to tie you up with all her heart... I wouldn’t use these medicinal materials for you of."
Some medicinal materials cannot be bought with money.Luke is indeed rich and powerful now.But if it is to buy medicinal materials, he may have many detours, and he may not be able to buy them.
Apart from other things, phoenix tears, ashes of phoenix nirvana, etc., except for the occasional production of this kind of medicinal materials in Hogwarts, I have never heard of it being produced in other places.
After all, apart from members of the Dumbledore family, no one has seen anyone who can restrain a phoenix by his side.
Snape looked at Luke seriously, and Luke naturally knew what this guy meant...
"Okay, professor, but I want to make sure that there is no problem with the effect of this thing?"
Although he asked like this, Luke's hand had already reached out.Such a question is actually more like a joke.Luke also didn't think Snape would cheat him on such a thing.
After handing the potion in his hand to Luke, Snape smiled slyly and said, "In terms of effect, there is indeed a problem."
Luke was just about to raise his head and drink the potion that was the same as nuclear wastewater in one gulp.After all, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain for this kind of thing.
"So, Professor, what's the problem?"
Luke asked with a worried expression.
Seeing his expression like this didn't make Snape feel the slightest bit happy. Instead, he put away his previous sly smile and put on a slightly annoyed expression.
After seeing his expression like this, the corner of Luke's mouth twitched lightly, and then he drank the contents of the bottle in one gulp.
Sour, astringent, slightly smelly.Luke's expression became a little stiff, but he endured it.
"It tastes good, Professor."
Luke had a smile on his face, looking very reserved.
Snape looked at him coldly, then 'hummed'.
Luke would be timid about Snape's tampering with the potion, and this behavior was clearly mocking Snape.In fact, the reaction he wanted from Luke was the feeling that he was facing a big enemy, not the obviously fake timidity that couldn't be faked anymore.
Still, the quips at the end were real.
"What is the effect, Professor?"
Luke stretched, looked at his hands and feet, and asked with some doubts.
Although Snape really didn't want to pay attention to this guy, but now this matter was ordered by Dumbledore after all, even if he had various reluctances, he had to explain clearly the effect of his potion.
Otherwise, Luke would blame him for his headaches and brain fever, and he would be at a big loss.
"In addition to the original medicinal materials that can help you digest the remaining magic power, I added some medicinal materials that can further exert the medicinal power and promote your development."
Snape said with a look as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
Luke raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Then this is a great thing! Thank you, professor! Thank you, professor!"
As he spoke, he was about to reach out and shake hands with Snape.
Snape shook off Luke in disgust, then pointed to the doorway of the office: "Get out!"
Luke smiled and made an ok gesture, then walked out of the classroom.
Wait until the door is closed.
Snape looked at the closed door, all the annoyance on his face subsided, replaced by a sly smile.
"A great thing? It is indeed a great thing!"
"Kada."
Luke closed the door gently.Frowning, looking at this ancient door, although the expression on his face cannot be said to be dignified, it is definitely puzzling.
"Snape, where did you tamper with it?"
He wouldn't believe that he could beat Snape by just showing weakness.For someone else, even Professor Flitwick, he felt that he could easily deal with it.But Snape was different.He is different from most of the resident teachers in the school.
Snape's past was a typical dark wizard, and this doesn't change from his reformation.
Not to mention whether he really reformed himself or not.
Luke knew very well that Snape wasn't much of a good guy.He betrayed the Dark Lord, apart from the awakening of his own consciousness, the biggest reason was the death of 'Lily Potter'.
Once Lily Potter died, he was willing to kill the group of Death Eaters and Voldemort to be buried with Lily.If he can't do it himself, then find someone who can do it to help him.
He has no heart for justice at all.He just hated the Death Eaters more now than the Order of the Phoenix.
Therefore, his methods, compared to those decent professors, will have the flavor of a dark wizard.
So what else is there in this bottle of potion?Luke didn't know.
He is neither a fairy nor a potion genius.Take a sip, or look at it to know what the formula of this potion is, or to see what kind of effect it has.This is simply fantasy to him.
Thinking of this, Luke still shook his head silently.
Indeed, it was useless for him to think about it now.The side effects of that medicine will definitely not be said to be so serious.But relatively speaking, it was enough to cause some trouble for Luke.
Luke left here in silence.
………………
There was a knock on the door. Looking at the letter in his hand, Dumbledore lowered his head in distress, and said helplessly, "Please come in!"
Luke pushed the door open: "Professor, I'm here to borrow the fireplace, I have to go home."
In fact, he did think about whether to live here.
But this is not in line with the school's school rules.No student has formally proposed it either.Luke seriously thought about whether to set this precedent.Finally chose to give up.
After all, the number of teachers in the school is not small.Luke himself wasn't sure it would be too noticeable if a student stayed here.
If a bunch of students talk, the energy of the professors will be involved.But as a student... the attention is a good thing, but not quite.
Luke really didn't want Dumbledore to know some of his little secrets.
Besides, Salazar Slytherin's notebook was still at home.He needs to compare and analyze Gryffindor's notebook and Slytherin's notebook to see if he can find any clues to Gryffindor's legacy.
"Are you here? Don't rush back, let me show you something."
After Dumbledore saw that it was Luke, the distress on his face subsided a little, and he greeted Luke enthusiastically.
Luke looked at the piece of paper in his hand, and instinctively sensed something was wrong.
"Anything else? Isn't it a trivial matter?"
A mask of pain hung over Luke's face.
"Professor, don't, really don't. I just want to have a good summer vacation. Even if I can't have a good summer vacation, give me some rest time. I still have to meet those 'elders' later... …it was a tough fight."
Although Luke didn't know when the other party would send an invitation to him.But it shouldn't be too late when I think about it.
This is a real tough fight.If Luke can't handle this matter well, then he, who is still only in the developmental stage, will face a situation where the whole world is an enemy.
At that time, neither the Lance family nor the Kane family will be completely unreliable.Even, Gemma, he is not sure whether Hermione will stay away from him because of the destruction of bones.
While unlikely, it's not entirely impossible.
In other words, if you can't pass this level, then all previous efforts will be wasted, and even your life will be lost.
"Look, maybe you'll be interested."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's painful mask that was similar to his just now, and the smile on his face was finally a little more happy.He should have called Luke sooner.
As long as you see that the person involved is more worried than yourself, then your own pain seems to be less painful!
Luke took the letter, glanced at it, and frowned.
Dumbledore thought he was going to say something.But he was surprised to find that Luke's expression became quite serious. After reading the whole letter seriously, Luke frowned and fell into thinking.
Seeing this, Dumbledore couldn't help but twitched his mouth.
"You don't really want to go, do you? I think it's better for us to decline."
Things in France are not as if they were yesterday, but just yesterday.
People forget the pain when their scars are healed, but Luke can't just forget the pain when his scars are healed, right?
"I have to remind you in advance that although France is the place where Grindelwald made great achievements. But in fact, the influence of the saints in the United States is far greater than in Europe."
After Dumbledore saw that his last sentence did not have much impact on Luke, he frowned and added seriously.
"So, if we're going to the United States, what's going on is probably far, far, far more serious than what happened in France."
"Burning New York? No problem, just another way to destroy New York."
Luke threw out a stalk that Dumbledore couldn't understand with a blank face.But Dumbledore knew from the way he looked at him that the kid in front of him must have other plans.
So he shook his head and looked at the hill-like documents on the table.
As soon as I came back, it was Minerva's turn to play tricks.After meeting with Luke this morning, Professor McGonagall disappeared.All the papers were placed in a long-legged filing cabinet before being delivered to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore looked at this pile of things with extremely uncomfortable eyes at first.He really didn't want to see these things.When I was young, I still felt that these jobs were very important.It is related to the operation of the whole school.
As the principal's working age increases, he also gradually understands that it doesn't matter what these things are in essence.
With or without them, the castle works automatically.Changing some furniture, approving some research funding and other things have nothing to do with the future of the school.
Hogwarts is already the largest wizarding school in the UK.After all, there is really no competition.
A school that doesn't even have competitors.What kind of roll do you roll!
"Professor, is everything said here credible?"
Luke's words interrupted Dumbledore's cranky thoughts.
Dumbledore didn't even glance at the letter that Luke put in front of him, and then said: "I know this little guy, Agilbert, who is only 40 years old this year. He is very capable and has his own educational philosophy. About I don’t doubt that he’s cheating on the snake wood part. As for the part about inheritance rights, I think you can find something related when you go home. If you can’t find it in your wooden house, then go to the old house to find it. Find it."
Luke looked up at Dumbledore when he mentioned the cabin.However, Dumbledore did not find any strange expression on his face.He seemed less curious about Luke's cabin already.
Luke didn't say much, just nodded and said: "Let me look for it. I hope it's best not to be sold by the last three trash."
Dumbledore recalled the virtues of the last three Gaunts, and shook his head calmly.
"Then I think you'd better pray. These things are in your cabin."
Luke was a little ashamed, and he didn't know the three guys like Marvolo Gunter.What is the final virtue like, so that Dumbledore can say such a thing.
"But I still say that, Luke, this time is dangerous."
Dumbledore looked at Luke, straightened his tall body, and said with a serious face: "Your safety may be really difficult to guarantee."
"Unless you promise me, this time, stay by my side all the time."
Luke listened to Dumbledore's words, first nodded seriously, and then said with a strange expression: "But, Professor, in France, you left me alone."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's disgusted eyes and was speechless for a while.
"I think you can handle those troubles in France. But here in America..."
He couldn't even tell how strong the Saints were over there.
"Don't worry, professor, I have confidence."
Luke took a deep breath. Of course he knew the importance of strength. This time he went home to improve his strength.
Looking at Luke's serious face, Dumbledore nodded, then smiled.
"But compared to France, we also have friends in America."
Dumbledore said to Luke: "I remember that you are also very interested in magical animals, so maybe you will have a very speculative chat."
Hearing this, Luke seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.
Because of a name, it came to his mind.
The fluorescent green potion left Luke without the slightest appetite.But looking at the expression on Snape's face, with a bit of anticipation in his seriousness, he felt as if he couldn't say anything more.
"I have to tell you in advance, Luke." Snape looked at Luke and said with a serious face, "The amount of medicinal materials here is indeed limited.
