Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 179 Snape's Potion
Professor Snape's office is located in a more secluded area than the Potions classroom.

However, the temperature in this place is not as low as imagined.

Through the solid wooden door, Moon could sense that a fire had been burning in the room for a long time.

Just after Moon knocked on the door, a burst of angry roar came from behind the wooden door.

"Didn't I tell you? No one is allowed to disturb us!"

Moon could hear Snape's anger, but he mustered up the courage to shout again.

"Professor, Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, asked me to come. She wants to know when the invigorating potion can be prepared."

The refreshing potion had actually been prepared long ago, but because Snape had to analyze new materials, he did not send it up.

However, after hearing Moon's voice, Snape took a look at the few remaining potion materials and the potion he had just started experimenting with.

He put away the cold expression on his face and tried to appear calmer.

After doing all this, he waved his hand lightly and opened the office door with magic.

Moon had been waiting at the door.

Seeing that the wooden door was open but there was no one behind it, he walked into the office in a daze.

"Professor, I."

Moon had just finished speaking when he discovered that Snape was brewing a potion.

The alcohol lamp under the crucible was turned to the maximum flame. Snape added various materials into the crucible while chanting spells and stirring it continuously.

His eyes were fixed on the changes in the potion in the crucible, and he had no intention of paying attention to the young wizard who had walked into the office.

Moon noticed Snape's nervousness and the two small packets of ingredients missing from the potion table.

He turned around and closed the door, then stood there waiting quietly.

Moon knew that Snape needed a quiet environment at this time.

He just watched quietly at the side and learned the potion master's process of refining medicine.

Snape's technique in brewing potions was very precise and skillful, and he would handle each potion ingredient without any hesitation.

His eyes followed the constant movement of his hands, and he was even able to distract himself by dealing with the fire situation and casting a new stirring spell at the same time.

This surprised Moon, and he also knew that the ability of this potion professor was indeed extraordinary.

But Moon also found something unusual.

Professor Snape's movements in making the potion were unusually light, but beads of sweat still appeared on his forehead.

This made Moon even more curious about what potion Snape was brewing.

About thirty minutes later, after adding all the materials into the crucible, Snape turned the flame of the alcohol lamp to the minimum and then turned to look at Moon.

"The invigorating potion is on the far left of the third shelf over there. Tell Pomfrey that I made some adjustments to the potion this time. It should be able to cure the young wizards' colds quickly, but there will be some adverse reactions."

"Adverse reaction! Professor, what is it?"

After hearing Snape's words, Moon asked almost subconsciously.

However, seeing Snape's unhappy look, Moon quickly added another sentence.

"Oh, Professor, I have a friend in the school clinic who also has a cold, so I'm curious."

Although Moon explained, Snape's expression was still not very good.

"There won't be any major reaction, just steam coming out of the ears and the face will turn red for a few hours."

After hearing what Snape said, Moon imagined the consequences of drinking this potion.

This seems more like the Hogwarts Express.

"Okay, Professor, I understand."

Moon found the refreshing potions in the order Snape pointed them out.

Snape probably knew that there were many little wizards suffering from colds, so he prepared a large jar of potion this time.

Moon first tried the weight of the jar, then cast a [Floating Spell] on the other party before going up to hug the jar and preparing to leave.

Snape kept an eye on Moon's movements while keeping an eye on the potion.

When he saw that the little wizard was able to use the [Levitation Spell] easily, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Snape had heard Professor Flitwick talk about Moon's talent in spells, but he didn't care much about it at first.

After all, every year many young wizards show their talent in magic.

But when he saw that Moon was able to cast the [Floating Spell] on such a heavy medicine jar, he knew he might be wrong.

According to Moon's current learning progress, Snape knew that he would not be exposed to the [Levitation Spell] for more than a month.

Being able to make a pencil float was already considered good, and it wouldn't last very long, usually only a few seconds at most. But Moon's spell didn't seem to work that way. Seeing Moon walking to the door with the medicine jar in one hand, Snape called out to him again.

"You can bring more of these materials next week. I know more spells than you think."

Hearing Snape's voice, Moon subconsciously retracted his leg that was about to step out of the office.

"Professor, we don't have to wait until next week. I have quite a few right now."

When Moon entered the office, he discovered that Snape had already used a large amount of batfish bladder powder and flame snail shell powder.

And looking at the dosage the other party had just added to the crucible, Moon knew that the remaining materials were no longer enough to support Snape in re-making the same potion.

"Quite a few? How many is that?"

Snape's expression became a little anxious.

As soon as Moon stretched out a finger, he eagerly guessed the answer.

"One ounce is too little, totally not enough!"

Snape looked a little disgusted.

But Moon shook his head, and when he was about to explain, Snape spoke again.

"No? Could it be ten ounces?"

Moon shook his head again and gave up talking. Instead, he looked down at the large medicine jar containing the stimulant in his arms.

"There's a jar like this."

"hiss!"

Snape took a deep breath.

The stimulating potion he prepared this time was exactly the amount needed for 3 people for 500 days, which was about ounces.

Although the stimulating potion is heavier than the powdered fish bladder material, according to this ratio, Moon still has at least 300 ounces of potion materials.

Thinking of this, Snape suddenly became even more anxious.

"Bring them all, and I'll give you a reasonable price."

"Professor, but I want some special spells that are not in the textbook."

Seeing Snape's expression, Moon knew that the initiative to set the price was back in his hands.

Hearing Moon's words, Snape did not hesitate this time.

He waved his hand, and a piece of parchment on the desk flew in front of Moon.

"[Close your ears and block your ears], this spell is something I created myself, and no one else knows it yet."

Listening to Snape's introduction, Moon carefully looked at the detailed description of the spell on the parchment.

"This spell was originally created to allow me to have an undisturbed environment for refining medicine. It can completely block out all sounds from the outside world."

After Snape finished speaking, Moon couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

He was worrying about how to solve the problem of Montoya's keen hearing after his transformation, and now the answer actually flew directly into his hands.

"Professor, please wait a moment. I'll go get the potion ingredients."

After saying this, Moon quickly ran to the school infirmary, put down the stimulating potion, turned around and ran back to the dormitory.

He opened the suitcase under the bed and took out a large can of batfish maw powder and a small can of fire snail shell powder.

The little witch Chris had already pre-made a lot of these materials on the Scarlet Moon, and Moon only brought a small part of them this time.

"How on earth did you get so many ingredients? This would allow me to try to improve the wolfsbane hundreds of times."

Snape didn't continue speaking.

He didn't want more people to know what he was doing until he succeeded.

"It's not that much actually. I even gave some to Professor Sprout to make fertilizer."

"fertilizer!"

Professor Snape's voice immediately rose several degrees.

"This is a brand new potion material. How can it be used to make fertilizer? It's a huge waste!"

Moon had experienced Snape's roar once, so when he saw that the other party was about to have another attack, he stayed away from him.

It was not until five minutes later, when Snape seemed tired of talking, that Moon spoke again carefully.

"Professor, this material can not only be used to make fertilizer, but also as a snack for the giant squid in the Black Lake."
