#183 - Snape's letter of recommendation

That evening, when Moon returned to the common room, Hermione and the others eagerly surrounded him.

"Is the three-headed dog very powerful?"

Harry was the first to run over and ask.

Ever since he learned that a dark wizard wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, this little wizard had been more concerned than anyone else.

"It is indeed very powerful."

Moon replied simply and walked towards the sofa in front of the fireplace with the materials.

"That's for sure, even Snape is no match for it."

Ron added, following closely behind.

However, the 'powerful' that Moon and the two of them were talking about had completely different meanings.

When Moon saw Fluffy with Hagrid this time, he was initially startled by the dog's size and appearance.

He had never seen a dog as tall as Hagrid, especially one with three heads growing side by side on its neck.

Moon had originally envisioned that making just one collar might be enough.

But he discovered that the necks bearing the three heads were very thick, and he couldn't find suitable wood for the time being, so he had to make three separate ones.

Of course, apart from this exceeding Moon's expectations, the fact that this three-headed dog showed no ferocity at all after seeing him was also something Moon couldn't understand.

When Fluffy saw Moon, it first bared its teeth, but didn't persist for more than two seconds before the look in Fluffy's eyes changed from fierce to joyful.

Then it couldn't help but want to get closer to Moon, its tongues lolling out of its three mouths, making it extremely difficult for Moon to avoid it.

So, before coming back, Moon had to wash his face in the bathroom for a long time.

"That's right, I think ordinary wizards simply can't avoid its simultaneous three-headed attack."

Moon had practiced similar attack methods with the giant squid in the Black Lake.

At that time, Moon was already completely unable to parry when the giant squid's different arms attacked him in sequence.

And Fluffy's three heads attacked simultaneously from different directions, making it impossible for Moon to avoid its dog tongues at all.

Fortunately, Hagrid finally relied on his size advantage to control Fluffy's wildly wagging heads, allowing Moon to measure the size of the collar.

After explaining the first meeting with Fluffy, the little wizards dispersed to do their own things.

Moon then took the newly acquired wood and began preparing to make the collar.

The craft of making a collar is not very complicated, the only thing to pay attention to is to stay focused when carving the runes and not be disturbed by anyone.

Although the common room was relatively noisy, it was no different for Moon now.

【Silencing Charm】

This charm, which Professor Snape used to ensure that he wouldn't be disturbed when brewing potions, could now be used by Moon to test it out.

Although Moon had only recently learned this charm, with the blessing of the Old Willow wand, the effect of Moon casting this charm could already last for an hour.

This allowed him to no longer worry about various noisy environments affecting his learning and making collars.

However, while the environment could be controlled with magic, the workload had now increased.

Fluffy's huge size and the ultra-hard rosewood chosen by Hagrid, which had been around for hundreds of years, both added to the difficulty of Moon's production.

Originally, Moon had planned to make the finished product this week, but now it seemed that it would be good enough to succeed before Christmas.

Despite the many changes, it was not insurmountable for Moon.

The Puffskein collar to be made, although not strictly a炼金术 item in the strict sense.

But for Moon, it could very well lay the foundation for him to learn alchemy next.

Time came to Friday.

Snape's potion improvement experiment was still ongoing.

Because the subject of the experiment was the advanced potion, Wolfsbane Potion, Snape had to spare time during class to return to his office to observe the potion's condition.

Although everyone was not clear about what happened, seeing the professor leave during class was still inexplicably happy.

When the bell rang to end the class, Snape pulled out a letter from his textbook and quickly walked towards Moon's direction.

Neville was originally carefully making potion brewing records, but when he heard Snape's footsteps getting closer and closer, he subconsciously stopped writing.

Just as this little wizard was worried about being punished, Snape's cold voice sounded above his head.

"Go to the potion shop above, Slughorn will help you solve all the problems."

Snape was as cold as ever.

After seeing Moon take the envelope, he turned around directly and quickly left the classroom with his cloak fluttering without looking back.

"Potion shop! What is this?"

Ron, who was sitting in the back row, was originally worried that Snape would deliberately make trouble after class.

But seeing that the other party left after throwing down a letter, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then stood up and looked up at the yellow envelope in Moon's hand.

"This is the business I'm doing with Professor Snape."

Moon was also very happy at this time.

Ever since Snape agreed to give him a certificate, he had been waiting for this moment.

Now that the certificate was in hand, Moon was full of confidence in the potion materials business next.

"So what you said was true!"

Ron had heard Moon explain it this way on Monday, but he didn't believe it at the time.

In his opinion, the age of 11 was the time when he needed to ask his parents for money.

But Moon not only sold wood carvings alone before school started, earning enough for tuition.

Now he has even gotten involved with the school's potions professor and even started a business.

This made him feel incredible, and he was also curious about the content of Moon's business.

"Slugg \u0026 Jiggers Potion Shop, I know it, it's on the corner of Diagon Alley, the location is very conspicuous."

Hermione also curiously surrounded him at this time.

After seeing the words on the envelope, she immediately recalled the specific location and appearance of this potion shop.

"This potion shop seems to be the only supplier of potion materials for Hogwarts. It has always had a very good relationship with the school's potions professor. Charlie and Percy's potion materials were all bought here."

Ron's understanding of this potion shop all came from the descriptions of two more reliable brothers.

But Moon only remembered the location and sign of this shop, and didn't know anything else.

Because first-year little wizards don't need to buy any potion materials, he didn't step into this potion shop before school started.

But now that he was going to do business with the other party, Moon naturally hoped to learn more about it.

After inquiring with Ron, Moon learned that this potion shop had been around for hundreds of years in Diagon Alley.

The shop owner was originally a couple, and later they even reached a cooperative relationship with Hogwarts.

This shop not only sells the potion materials needed by little wizards, but also provides resale services for materials produced by the school's greenhouses.

"So your business is to do business with the potion shop."

"That's right, I plan to go to this potion shop during Christmas to investigate."

Moon didn't say the exact information about the business content.

In addition to ensuring that the secrets on his body would not be leaked, Moon had not yet determined what materials to bring.

He hadn't learned the 【Undetectable Extension Charm】 yet.

He also didn't know what kind of potion materials this potion shop needed, so he felt it was necessary to take a look first.

"So you are also going to leave school during Christmas?"

Hermione had already guessed that Moon didn't have any relatives in England.

And now the little wizard in front of her was not only going to leave school, but also became a business partner with the potions professor.

He was even going to do business with the largest potion shop in Diagon Alley during Christmas, which made Hermione even more curious.

"I feel like the secrets on your body can never be completely dug out."

Regarding the issue of going out during Christmas, Moon had actually been thinking about it for the past two days.

In addition to avoiding being discovered by others.

Moon also planned to visit Uncle Gaia during Christmas and confirm the procurement agreement with this potion shop.

In this way, whether it was purchasing Muggle items to return or selling materials to another world, he could lay a good foundation.

As for wanting to dig out the secrets on his body, Moon certainly wouldn't let Hermione get her wish.

Just as he was thinking about how to perfunctorily deal with this little witch, Malfoy in the distance interrupted everyone's conversation.

"You, a poor ghost who can only come up with copper coins when going to Gringotts to exchange gold Galleons, are actually going to do business."
