#118 - Cedric's Secret Base

After Cedric left, Snape cast a thorough "Scourgify" on the entire potions classroom.

After confirming that there were no remaining spores of the Sleeping Draught fungus, Snape removed his thickened mask.

"Were you conducting a magical perception training just now?"

After only the two of them were left in the potions classroom, Snape directly questioned Moon without any hesitation.

"Well, Professor, didn't you see it?"

Although Moon didn't like Snape, the other party was a professor after all, and he didn't want to lie.

"Truly a stubborn little lion."

Snape said, circling Moon and carefully examining the student in front of him.

"Mr. Scarlett, do you know that analyzing unknown potions at school is against the rules?"

"Professor, I only remember that the school rules state that it is not allowed to give classmates unknown potions of unknown origin."

After being inspired by Hermione, Moon had already recorded all the school rules.

It was precisely because of this that he came to the potions classroom to conduct experiments on analyzing potions.

"Oh? So, you know that the potion you are carrying is an unknown potion?"

When Snape spoke, a sneer unconsciously appeared on his face.

Only then did Moon realize that he had fallen into Snape's linguistic trap.

【As expected, professors are still more cunning than students.】

Just as Moon was regretting it, Snape stretched out his slender right hand.

"Potion confiscated, hand it over!"

"Professor, I haven't violated any school rules, and this potion is very important to me."

Although he had fallen into the other party's linguistic trap, Moon didn't plan to hand over the potion directly.

In his opinion, this potion was his personal property, and no one could forcibly take it away.

"Very important, are you sure?"

Snape said, looking at Moon with a questioning gaze.

"Yes, Professor."

Although this unknown potion was intercepted by Moon from 【Night Owl】, it was related to Moon's understanding of magic in another world.

"Alright, but don't you want to know the true effect of this potion?"

Only then did Snape truly state his true intention.

After hearing this sentence, Moon's eyes instantly lit up.

"Professor, are you going to analyze this potion?"

"Hand it over! I don't want to waste any more time talking to you."

Seeing that Snape didn't deny it, Moon directly took out half a bottle of black potion from his pocket.

"Professor, it's this."

When Moon took out the potion, Snape visibly tensed up.

However, after noticing that there was only half a bottle, his expression instantly became serious.

"There's only this much, how dare you analyze it yourself? Do you think you're much stronger than a troll?"

Moon habitually ignored Snape's highly sarcastic words.

"Professor, the ingredients of this potion should be relatively complex. I have already obtained a kind of herb graphic, if..."

"Alright, stop talking."

After taking the potion bottle, Snape gently swirled the bottle in circles.

"I don't think the answer obtained by a first-year wizard will be of any help to me."

"Well, alright."

Hearing what the potions master on the opposite side said, Moon didn't continue to speak.

Although Moon obtained a white flower from 【Potion Analysis Technique】, he himself didn't recognize the flower.

This made him unable to confirm whether the potion analysis technique he performed was correct.

After carefully checking it, Snape was very sure that the potion in his hand was the brand new unknown potion he had been looking for.

After firmly grasping the potion bottle in his hand, Snape immediately returned to his original cold and serious appearance.

"I'm taking this away!"

Snape's tone wasn't like borrowing, but more like an order.

"Okay, Professor, can you tell me the answer after you analyze it?"

Moon didn't mind the potion professor's tone, he just wanted the answer.

"Mr. Scarlett, you just need to honestly serve your detention. As for the potion, you will definitely know what you should know."

Watching Snape quicken his pace back to his office, Moon happily smiled.

Although he didn't know why Snape was so contradictory, he knew that the answer to this potion would soon be revealed to him.

After coming out of the potions classroom, Moon hadn't even walked out of the stairs in the basement when Cedric intercepted him at the corner.

"How is it? Snape didn't punish you, did he?"

Looking at the concerned expression on Cedric's face, Moon smiled and shook his head.

"No, and he even helped me a lot!"

"Help! Are you sure?"

In Cedric's opinion, Snape not punishing Moon was already a very good outcome.

As for helping students, Snape wouldn't be so kind except for Slytherin students.

Especially since Moon was still a Gryffindor little lion that he hated very much.

"Of course, actually, Snape is quite nice."

Hearing Moon say this, Cedric was even more puzzled.

Snape helping a Gryffindor little lion!

A Gryffindor little lion saying Snape is quite nice!

This is definitely the biggest lie of this school year at Hogwarts!

However, seeing that Moon was indeed fine, Cedric didn't continue to ask.

"In any case, the potions classroom definitely can't be used now."

"That's right, I think Snape will definitely be watching very closely next."

Although Snape is now entangled with that unknown potion, Moon doesn't think that the other party will give up inspecting the potions classroom.

Especially after what happened today, Snape's supervision will inevitably be stricter.

"Don't worry, I've been thinking about where I can continue to make the 【Mini Draught of Living Death】 ever since I came out."

"Mini Draught of Living Death? Is this the name you're giving to the new potion you're preparing to refine with the Sleeping Draught fungus spores?"

"That's right, I carefully checked the purified spores just now, and I found that its effect is very similar to that of lacewing flies, so the Draught of Living Death is the easiest potion object to learn from."

After Moon's reminder, Cedric had found three kinds of magical sedatives in the library.

The most difficult one to refine was the 【Draught of Living Death】.

This is a powerful anesthetic potion that can put people in a state of suspended animation after drinking it.

And the most important medicinal raw material is the Sloth Brain.

"If that's the case, then the refining time of the 【Mini Draught of Living Death】 will definitely be very long."

"Yes, the original Draught of Living Death requires a full month of refining time, and we are now starting everything from scratch, so the time will definitely be longer."

"Okay, then where is the place you said where you can refine potions?"

"Oh, it's a secret abandoned classroom, the location is very remote, absolutely safe."

The abandoned classroom that Cedric found was accidentally discovered during his three years of wandering.

The location is in a small room on the left side of the innermost part of the basement corridor.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see it first."
