Chapter 412: Why don't you play by the rules?
Chapter 412 Why don’t you follow the rules?
Before coming here, Kyle had always thought that Snape's confinement this time was to deal with complex potions materials. After all, this was also the most common confinement content in Potions class.
The materials they used in class, including various kinds of bile, caterpillar mucus, venomous snake teeth... almost all came from this.
I didn’t expect that he would actually help brew the magic potion this time... or the rare wolfsbane potion.
In the magic world, the number of people who can brew this kind of potion can be counted on one hand, and each one of them is a long-established potion master.
Kyle raised his head and quickly noticed the meaningful expression on Snape's face.
This time, he seemed to understand a little bit.
Professor Lu Ping…
Perhaps because of Dumbledore's request, Snape could not reveal Professor Lupine's werewolf identity, but this did not mean that he could not give others a hint.
Apparently, Snape took great pains to drive Professor Lupine out of the castle.
Kyle estimated that he was just waiting to ask himself why he wanted to brew the wolfsbane potion.
As long as he asks himself, he will be able to follow the flow and reveal more clues about Professor Luping's identity.
This calculation is based on...
If it were another student, maybe he would be able to discover Professor Lupine's werewolf identity under his step-by-step guidance.
pity…
“Oh, Professor, you are so good, you can even master such complicated potions.” Kyle complimented, and then continued to grind the lionfish bone powder in his hand, without any intention of asking why.
Snape seemed a little surprised, frowned, and stared at Kyle not knowing what he was thinking.
Half an hour later, he lost his composure and asked seemingly casually:
“Do you know the effects of wolfsbane potion?”
"Oh, I know." Kyle said, "President Sacia from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries told me before that wolfsbane potion can suppress the curse of werewolves and allow them to transform on a full moon night. Still able to stay awake.”
Kyle's expression was very calm when he spoke, as if he was answering a question in class. He closed his mouth after speaking and did not ask any unnecessary questions at all.
This time, Snape felt even more uncomfortable.
He didn't understand, was Kyle really not curious at all about his actions of brewing wolfsbane potion, yet he was so calm.
Snape had already thought about what to say next, but he never expected that Kyle would be so uncooperative, which led to him not even taking the first step.
But he couldn't be too straightforward, otherwise it would be difficult for Professor Dumbledore to explain.
Looking at Kyle who seemed to be fine, Snape suddenly felt a little regretful.
Had he known this, he should have asked Kyle to deal with those rat spleens and armadillo bile just now...
The underground classroom fell into silence again.
Kyle naturally didn't know what Snape was thinking. He was currently handling the materials and peeking at Snape's process of brewing the Wolfsbane potion.
This is a rare opportunity to have such close contact with the brewing process of wolfsbane potion. It would be a pity to miss it.
I have to say that this potion is really complicated. It took five hours before Kyle finally put the last cut wolfsbane leaf into the crucible at Snape's signal.
As the processed leaves were put into the crucible, the potion inside began to boil instantly, and the color gradually changed from reddish-brown to brown.
"boom!"
At this time, the door of the underground classroom was suddenly knocked open from the outside.
Malfoy stumbled in.
“Give me a reason!”
Snape looked at him gloomily.
Malfoy's collision was too sudden. He was concentrating on stirring the potion just now, but he was startled and almost threw his wand into the cauldron. "Teach, teach."
Malfoy's face looked paler than usual, and he said in shock: "I saw Potter's head in Hogsmeade... There was only one head, floating there..."
"Oh?" Snape said coldly, "You mean, Potter went to Hogsmeade?"
"Yes, it's his head..." Malfoy said subconsciously.
"Idiot!" Snape glared at him, "Don't you know about the invisibility cloak?"
The next second, Malfoy stopped shaking. He seemed to have thought of something, and his originally pale face quickly turned red.
"That **** Potter..." Malfoy said angrily, "How dare he tease me!"
“Idiot!” Snape glanced at him again, “Follow me, I can probably guess where he will appear from.”
"As for you..." He turned to look at Kyle, "Every ten minutes, stir the crucible counterclockwise three times until it emits smoke of the same color as the potion... Can you understand what I say?"
“No problem, Professor.” Kyle nodded.
"very good."
After saying that, Snape strode outside, dragging his long black cloak.
Malfoy trotted after him.
After they left, Kyle immediately took out the parchment and quill, recalling Snape's operation just now, and wrote something on it.
After writing more than half of the parchment, Kyle folded it and put it away carefully...
Of course, during this period, he did not forget the task that Snape gave him...stirring the crucible.
At this time, it was already the third ten minutes. Kyle took out his wand and shook it gently on the crucible, and the potion inside also rotated.
After stirring three times, the color of the potion became darker and darker, and the taste became more pungent...
Kyle didn't know if this was a normal phenomenon. After all, this potion was only invented in recent years. Even in the "Powerful Potion" in the forbidden book area, there was no record at all.
But it should be no problem.
Kyle smelled it carefully, and the smell was almost exactly the same as the ones he had cleaned up before.
“Boom!”
At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound next door, as if someone had thrown something against the wall.
The next door to the underground classroom happens to be Snape's office.
Then, Professor Lupine's voice came from the corridor outside...
"See you next time, Severus... Harry, come with me, I need to talk to you about that paper on vampires..."
The surroundings were quiet again.
A few minutes later, the door to the underground classroom was opened again, and Snape walked in. His face looked ugly, as if he had been fed a large bottle of bitter and astringent bile.
As soon as he entered the door, he raised his head and looked at Kyle, and said coldly, "Get out!"
"okay…"
Although Kyle didn't know what happened, looking at Snape's look, he knew that he was in a bad mood right now, and any little thing could make him explode at this time.
So Kyle did not hesitate and left the underground classroom directly according to Snape's request.
