"Professor Sprout?" Upon hearing this name, Ye Feng's face showed a hint of doubt, because he didn't understand how the 'potion' he was preparing to refine had anything to do with Professor Sprout, who was a herbalist.
However, Ye Feng did not delve into the matter. Instead, he quickly poured the roasted olive kernels, which emitted an enticing aroma, into a press container. As Ye Feng pressed down on the press container, oil with specks of white foam flowed out from the hole at the bottom.
Ye Feng estimated that the oil was ready and stored it carefully. However, just as he was about to proceed with the next step, he suddenly remembered something. So he looked up at Snape and asked, "Professor Snape, what kind of scent do you prefer?"
"The scent?" Upon hearing Ye Feng's question, Snape was clearly lost in thought, and judging from the wistful look in his eyes, he was obviously reminiscing about the past. Therefore, Ye Feng did not interrupt Snape until he came back to his senses.
After about five or six seconds, Snape snapped out of his reverie and said, "I like orchids and lilies; they have an elegant and pleasant fragrance."
"Lilies of the Valley? That's a bit troublesome, but luckily I still have some in stock."
Snape: [?_??] /(//o/ω/o//)/
"Is he going to send me a pot of orchids and lilies? Should I return the favor? I never thought I'd receive something from a student..." Hearing Ye Feng's words, Snape's face turned slightly red, which was rare for him, because he had hardly ever received any gifts, let alone flowers, from students.
However, his inner monologue was interrupted halfway through. Ye Feng took out a handful of fresh orchid lily petals from his spatial ring and stuffed them into the huge cauldron.
!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
Ye Feng's ruthless act of destroying the flowers startled Snape, but Ye Feng himself was completely oblivious, still focused on stirring the petals in the cauldron with his wand.
Snape: "This wand is the perfect length for stirring magic... Wait, the wand!!!"
"Ye Feng, where is your magic wand right now?"
Ye Feng: [?_??]
Upon hearing Snape's words, Ye Feng picked up his wand from the table and said, "It's here. Is there a problem, Professor Snape?"
"Oh, it's not your wand, then... wait. Your wand is here, so whose wand did you use to stir the orchid lily petals in the cauldron?"
Upon hearing Snape's words, Ye Feng laughed and said, "Hey~ you mean this? I just grabbed it from the table, I don't know whose wand it is."
Snape: (ー`?ー)
Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Snape frowned and glanced around. But something strange happened: he discovered that all the young wizards in the classroom had their wands beside them, meaning that the wand in Ye Feng's hand did not belong to any of his students.
"How strange, let me take another look." Snape muttered to himself as he examined the wand more closely, but he still couldn't find anyone missing. For some reason, he felt that the wand Ye Feng used to stir potions looked familiar.
“Professor…Professor Snape, your…here…” Just as Snape was wondering, Harry, who was being pulled by Ron who was swallowing hard and had beads of sweat on his forehead, whispered a reminder to Snape and pointed to the inside of his robes where the wand was kept.
"Mr. Potter, please raise your hand before speaking in class, and you may speak only after I give you permission. Also, when you speak, don't stammer or speak weakly, speak louder!"
"Gulu~"
Upon hearing Snape's words, Harry swallowed hard, while Malfoy raised his hand high with a smug look on his face.
"See, just like Malfoy, understand?"
"Alright, Malfoy, put your hands down, stand up, and speak your mind loudly."
With Snape's permission, Malfoy jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "Professor Snape, what Harry Potter wants to say is that the wand Ye Feng used to stir potions is yours!"
Snape: !!! (((?Д?)))
"That's my magic wand!?"
Upon hearing Malfoy's words, Snape was instantly jolted as if he had been electrocuted. Goosebumps rose all over his body, and his hair stood on end. The electric shock-like sensation shot straight to the top of his head, making his scalp tingle and causing him to explode.
"Ye... Feng!!!"
Ye Feng: (°Д°)ノ
"No, Professor Snape, let me explain!"
"I really didn't mean to. You just casually put the wand on my table and I just grabbed it to use as a stirring stick. But seriously, the wand feels really nice to use for stirring. I definitely want to have a stirring stick made just like it."
Snape: "(╬◣д◢) Gryffindor loses 1000 points!!!"
Chapter 82 Making Shampoo for Snape
"Gryffindor loses 1000 points!!!"
Snape's angry voice echoed throughout Hogwarts, attracting the attention of students in the next classroom and even Dumbledore.
"Professor Snape, what happened? Did that Gryffindor student offend you? If so, I'd like to apologize on his behalf."
Dumbledore had never seen Snape so angry, so even at this moment he didn't dare to say anything rashly. Instead, he asked what had happened, rather than immediately asking why Snape was deducting a thousand points from Gryffindor.
However, Dumbledore regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because he saw that Ye Feng was holding Snape's wand at that moment, and the tip of Snape's wand was still covered with many fragments of orchid lilies.
"Come with me!" Dumbledore didn't even need to ask what had happened to know that Ye Feng had gotten into trouble again, so he directly told Ye Feng to come with him to the headmaster's office. When he saw that Ye Feng was actually unwilling to leave and was holding Snape's wand, he almost laughed out of anger.
"Give the wand back to Professor Snape right now!"
"Oh, oh, oh..."
Upon hearing Dumbledore's words, Ye Feng seemed to snap out of his daze and handed the wand, still adorned with a few petals of orchid lily, to Snape. Snape's temples throbbed as he looked at the wand Ye Feng offered, still covered in orchid lily petals and faintly exuding the scent of orchid lilies.
"Crack~"
Seeing that his wand was indeed undamaged and even had a faint fragrance, Snape snatched it back, but when it came to actually cursing Ye Feng, he really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Although Ye Feng occasionally does things that make your blood pressure spike, he has also made you smile more in the last two years than in the previous ten years combined. You could say he's a guy you both love and hate.
"Whoo~"
Letting out a long breath to calm his anger, Snape casually flicked the petals off his wand and sneered, "You have ten minutes to make this potion and report to the Headmaster's office, or Gryffindor will lose twenty points because of you!"
Hearing Snape's words, Ye Feng knew that his anger had subsided considerably. Although he didn't know how it had subsided, Ye Feng wouldn't let this opportunity pass.
So, under the watchful eyes of Dumbledore and Snape, Ye Feng deftly used magic to extract the essence contained in the orchid lily in the cauldron. Then, he quickly poured olive oil, essence, soap liquid, thickening agent, hair-nourishing liquid that is easily absorbed by the hair or scalp, crushed ginger, and Polygonum multiflorum into the huge cauldron.
Snape: [?ヘ??]
Dumbledore: [?_??]
Seeing Ye Feng's actions, both Dumbledore and Snape showed puzzled expressions, but their expressions were somewhat different. Snape had a vague guess about the 'potion' Ye Feng was going to make, but he was a little hesitant to believe his own guess, so his puzzlement was tinged with a hint of annoyance.
Dumbledore genuinely didn't know what Ye Feng was going to do, so he was curious about what Ye Feng was planning to do.
Just as Ye Feng was mixing and stirring the various materials in the crucible, Grindelwald arrived late. When he saw what was in the crucible, he first showed the same look of confusion, but the next second he suddenly realized, "Isn't this the shampoo from the Muggle world? I used it in the Muggle world before, and I must say the shampooing effect is really quite good."
Σ (?Д?;)
When Grindelwald said this, everyone except Ye Feng was taken aback, because they did not expect that Ye Feng was actually making shampoo. However, when Harry and the others recalled Ye Feng's words before he took action, they suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.
Of course, the one with the most complicated expression was Snape, because if he wasn't mistaken, the pot of 'potion' shampoo that Ye Feng had made was meant for him.
As everyone's thoughts raced, a faint golden light emanated from the crucible that Ye Feng was constantly stirring, which surprised everyone, because they had never seen a brewed potion glow.
Ye Feng was overjoyed when he saw the pot of shampoo emitting a faint golden light, because it meant that his pot of magical shampoo had been successfully made.
Seeing that the shampoo was ready, Ye Feng quickly took out the bottle he had prepared in advance to hold the shampoo. However, after taking it out, he looked at the bottle, which was only the size of a mineral water bottle, and then at the crucible, which was larger than a regular bucket, and fell into deep thought.
"Infinite extension"
Ye Feng only considered it for a second before casting an infinite extension spell on the shampoo bottle.
Although the Infinite Extension Charm wasn't permanent, it was enough to last until Snape finished the shampoo. However, he seemed to have underestimated the cauldron's capacity; when he filled the shampoo bottle with the Infinite Extension Charm, there was still a third of the shampoo left in the cauldron.
"Kid, this shampoo of yours is very interesting. Can I have the rest?" Grindelwald asked Dumbledore after just one glance. Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Although his hair was still quite thick and not as oily as Snape's, he was older than Snape. Hair loss is inevitable as people get older, but he hadn't noticed because he took good care of himself and often wore a hat. So when Ye Feng made this pot of shampoo, Dumbledore was tempted.
Ye Feng is still young, and Zhang Qiu, Luna, and Harry are also young, so they don't really need shampoo for the time being. In addition, since he can make it twice if he can make it once, he simply nodded and let Grindelwald take the rest of the shampoo.
As for why Grindelwald can appear here so openly, it's naturally because he has now become a teacher at Hogwarts. However, since there is already a teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts department, he is temporarily teaching about magical affairs.
The reason for offering this course was actually related to Ye Feng. Ye Feng's extensive knowledge made Dumbledore realize that Hogwarts students should not only bury themselves in learning magic, but also learn more about the magical world and other aspects. That's why Grindelwald was kept on the course.
Of course, as the former Dark Lord, he knew more about dark magic than anyone else at Hogwarts. So he had actually discovered Voldemort's diary. He even knew that the diary had previously been with Ye Feng and had been revealed by Ye Feng. However, he did not make a fuss but silently observed it in the dark. Even Dumbledore did not know this.
So when Ye Feng was called to the principal's office to copy the school rules, Grindelwald seemed to be studying the shampoo Ye Feng had made, but in reality he was observing Ye Feng more, because he was really too curious about this little guy who was far more mysterious than Dumbledore had described.
"He possesses immense power yet controls it with ease, and he is not blinded by it. He treats those much weaker than himself with equality, and even genuinely respects Dumbledore, whose strength may be inferior to his own, due to his age and other reasons. What a mysterious and 'naive' little fellow."
Ye Feng, who was currently buried in copying the school rules, felt a chill run down his spine.
"Hmm? [?_??] I have a feeling that someone is talking about me behind my back? Never mind, I'll finish copying first."
"Damn it! It's all Dumbledore's fault! In such a short time, so many new school rules have been added, and they're all aimed at me! It's just too much!"
Chapter 83 The Restless Talent
The most painful thing in the world is that others are eating barbecue while you can only watch and not eat, and you also have to copy books. If there is anything more painful than this, it is that you can only copy books by hand and cannot use magic.
"Ah~ I'm finally done copying. Time to go back to sleep." Ye Feng yawned after finally finishing copying the Hogwarts school rules, which Dumbledore had punished him to do five times by hand, and walked listlessly toward his dormitory.
"Squeak~"
When Ye Feng walked up to the portrait of the Fat Lady, before he could even utter the slogan for tonight, the painting automatically moved aside, revealing the doorway behind it. This was a 'privilege' unique to Ye Feng, a 'privilege' that even Dumbledore didn't have, because Ye Feng had once tried to pull the Fat Lady out of the portrait and transform her from a two-dimensional being into a three-dimensional being.
The result was naturally a failure, because he only had so few things at his disposal. He was far from being able to truly revive a remnant soul that didn't even have a body. So his attempt not only failed, but he also almost pulled out the fat lady's spiritual power, or rather, the soul residing in the picture book, turning her into a ghost with a physical body like Nie Xiaoqian.
While becoming a ghost might seem like a good idea, ghosts at Hogwarts are generally confined to Hogwarts, while they can visit other places. So, the Fat Lady naturally didn't want to become a ghost.
From that day on, almost everyone in the Hogwarts paintings looked at Ye Feng with a strange gaze. In their eyes, Ye Feng was a monster even more terrifying than the Dark Lord, since even the Dark Lord didn't have a magic that could pull them out of the paintings.
Of course, since that day, Hogwarts has added a new rule: students are prohibited from offering sacrifices and burning incense in front of portraits and throwing talismans at them in an attempt to resurrect the figures in the portraits.
It could be said that Ye Feng's experiment that time made him almost the nemesis of the portrait artists. Even the portrait artists guarding the gate let him pass without needing his command. However, today, because Ye Feng had been copying books for most of the day, he was really tired and didn't notice this at all.
"Ok?"
However, just as he stepped into the lounge, he suddenly perked up because he smelled the aroma of barbecue.
"You're back? Come and have something to eat. We brought you a lot of things back, but they might be a little cold." At the same time, Zhang Qiu's voice rang out from the lounge.
Hearing the sound, Ye Feng looked up and saw that Harry and Luna were all there, and in front of them were not only a lot of barbecue, but also some obviously chilled drinks.
Seeing this scene, it would be a lie to say that Ye Feng was not moved at all. When he ate the still-warm barbecue, he immediately felt that he had made friends in vain.
The next day, Ye Feng went to wake Dumbledore as usual, but this time Ye Feng didn't give Dumbledore a chance to react. After eating breakfast and signing in, Ye Feng slipped away. By the time the groggy Dumbledore got up almost instinctively and sat down at the table to slowly regain his senses, Ye Feng had already run to a corner of the square.
The entire square is a lush green when viewed from above, but if someone were to go to Ye Feng's current corner, they would find that this area of about sixty square meters has actually been cultivated, and the green on it is not grass but melon seedlings.
It has to be said that some fruits abroad are really expensive, but that's not what annoys Ye Feng the most. What annoys Ye Feng the most is that there are many fruits that you can't buy even if you have money, so Ye Feng is forced to take matters into his own hands.
Ye Feng originally planned to cultivate a field next to Hagrid's hut, which is the Forbidden Forest, but because it was too close to the Forbidden Forest, several batches of melon vines grew very well and even flowered, but were eaten by animals in the Forbidden Forest. In the end, after careful consideration, Ye Feng finally chose the large square in the academy as the location.
It has to be said that the soil in this square is indeed fertile. Ye Feng doesn't even need to fertilize it; he just comes over every day to water it, and the melon vines grow very well. The best-growing vine has already branched out and started to bloom, and small melons have even appeared at the newly grown tips of the vines.
"Judging from the current growth, we should be able to eat our fill of melons in about two months. I can't wait!" With Ye Feng full of anticipation, the herbal medicine class officially began.
