Chapter 37 Snape
"Mr. Wright Rags, you don't think you have accomplished anything by killing a stupid troll, do you? If you are in the mood to care about such ridiculous things, you might as well use your brain, which is comparable to that of a troll, to learn what you should learn."
During the Potions class, Snape suddenly began to spit venom at Wright, from the way he handled the materials to the use of tools.
When Wright barely managed to make a crucible of potion to cure boils under his interference, he gave him a duck egg with a look of disgust and mocked him.
Wright was confused. Hadn't this guy been staring at Harry the whole time?
Harry was also confused, because usually they were targeting him. But maybe it was because he was used to being bullied, Harry was a little uncomfortable for a moment.
Unfortunately, Snape's next words made Harry take back this idea.
"Harry Potter, your friend is not paying attention in class. Gryffindor will deduct 5 points."
After deducting points, Snape continued, "Wright Ruggs, the potion you made is far from meeting my requirements. Come to my office at six o'clock this afternoon, and I will teach you well."
All the little wizards except Wright shuddered unconsciously when they heard this.
"If you want to ask, just ask! Don't look like you can't hold it in." Wright said to the three people who had doubts on their faces but didn't know what to say.
"Wright, have you offended Snape? Or is he going to attack you? Should we tell Dumbledore?" The three questions came like a barrage of cannonballs.
"No need, I guess they want to train me because I'm handsome!" Wright changed the subject with a joking remark.
Wright didn't react much to this. It was more like he roughly guessed that he must have exposed something, so Snape came to supervise him.
"No way! I don't believe Snape would want to train others. I think he must have a conspiracy." Ron said firmly.
"It's okay, Snape is not a bad person, he's just not obviously good. Don't worry too much." Wright comforted Harry and Ron who were obviously a little agitated.
"That's right, don't worry too much. We've already talked to Dumbledore, and he should be supervising Snape." Hermione, who was comforted, also began to change camp.
After much persuasion, Harry and the other two finally gave up the idea of going to see Dumbledore.
Following the light of the setting sun, Wright walked all the way to the office and stood in front of Snape's office door. Wright knocked on the door a little nervously.
Snape opened the door with a gloomy face, and immediately threw a potion recipe to Wright after he entered: "Now memorize it and start making it. I will guide you by the side."
"What a failure! I have never seen such a stupid failure."
"When you add the moon mushroom here, you have to scrape off its spores."
"Remember, when stirring the potion, you must concentrate and mobilize your magic power to cooperate."
"And here..."
In the dim office, under Snape's guidance, Wright completely analyzed the formation of this bottle of potion and established a theoretical foundation for Wright.
It is no longer like making potions mechanically by following the textbook like in class.
"It seems that you have done a great job under my guidance! So leave my office now." Snape drove Wright out with a cold face.
"Professor, thank you very much for your guidance. I will come here at the same time tomorrow." Wright said goodbye to Snape who had closed the door with a happy face.
There was no sound behind the door, but Wright did not get discouraged. He slowly slipped back under the moonlight.
Wright returned to the dormitory and looked at the information sent from the stone tablet with a very happy look on his face.
"Potions level plus 1, Potions: 2."
"If I gain one level every day, I will take off directly." Wright fell asleep happily.
The next day, at six o'clock in the afternoon, Light came to Snape's office.
'Remember it,' Snape said, before throwing another recipe.
"Your technique and tools were used properly today. If it were the same as yesterday, you wouldn't have to keep your claws."
"Don't use your shallow knowledge to question my recipe. Pinch the root of the screaming flower and make it scream. The juice extracted will be more effective."
"Stir slowly, and use your meager magic and poor spirit to help the potion form."
"Professor, I've seen things like automatic crucibles in books. Why do we still need to stir it manually?" Wright asked his question as he looked at Snape who was checking the potion.
"Ridiculous! What do you think a potion is? Is it a combination of various medicinal herbs?"
"Plants themselves have magic power, and the medicine maker needs to use magic and spirit to mix them. The maker can also feel the formation process of the magic potion, so as to improve the formula or develop a new formula."
"If you are stupid enough to give up your future, just use that ridiculous automatic crucible!" Snape put down the potion he had just checked and answered Wright's question in a cold voice.
"No, no. With a master of potions like you to guide me, why would I look for shortcuts?" Wright said with a bow.
"Very good, it seems that your troll-like brain can also make the right choice. Now cooperate with me to make a bottle of potion, and I will only be responsible for explaining." Snape said with a hint of praise in his tone.
"Finish reading these books within a week. I won't wait for you too long." Snape put away the finished potion and handed Wright a list of books.
"Okay! Professor! I'll do it as soon as possible." After thanking Snape, Light left the office.
……
"There is powerful magic in blood, and it occupies an extremely important position in dark magic." Snape took out an old notebook and handed it to Wright.
"Blood comes from the bone marrow, but its essence is the overlap of soul and life force, so the decay of the flesh affects the soul, and vice versa."
"Therefore, any treatment related to the body cannot be separated from blood."
"This book is given to you. What you need to do is to keep learning and then develop your own theory. Even though it is still early, you should have this idea."
"I understand, Professor!" Wright took the notes solemnly and thanked Snape.
"Are you here? Headmaster!" Snape suddenly asked after Light left.
"I'm here, Severus! How is it? Can one month of teaching tell us anything about his condition?" An old man in a white robe suddenly appeared in the office.
"He is indeed excellent, but not as dangerous as you think! The potions he mixes are not very irritating, which shows that he is not an extreme person." Snape answered Dumbledore's question indifferently.
"That's great. It seems like he might be able to become a powerful assistant in the fight against Voldemort." Dumbledore smiled.
Wright, who was in the dormitory, didn't know that someone was discussing him. He looked at the message coming from the stone tablet: "Potions level plus 1, Potions: 5" and almost laughed out loud.
