Chapter 182: Stealing Potion Materials

On Monday morning, Andy welcomed the family owl.

In addition to a bottle of odor-removing potion, there was also a thick letter in the package.

Kyle just briefly told Andy about his life in school, and mentioned the latest news in the wizarding world.

Helen was also concerned about Andy's study life, but she did not ask Andy what he wanted to do with the odor-removing potion. She was just prepared for Andy to be expelled from school.

Helen said that Andy can support himself now just by brewing potions.

As for Isabel, the little girl reminded Andy bluntly not to forget to buy her snacks from Bee Duke Candy House, otherwise she would think she was an only child.

Andy raised his eyebrows, put the letter in his pocket and put it away.

As for the bottle of potion, Andy didn't let anyone see it, not even Hermione knew about it.

"What classes do we have this morning?" Andy asked casually after breakfast.

"Two Potions lessons back to back, with Hufflepuff."

Hermione said: "This afternoon is a History of Magic class with Slytherin."

Potions class...

"I have to go back to the dormitory to get something. Remember to hold a seat in the front row for me." Andy said hastily, and without waiting for Hermione to respond, he got up and ran out of the auditorium.

The potion was still in his pocket, and Andy didn't dare to go to Snape's class with the potion in his pocket.

Ever since Snape saw through the Disillusionment Curse last semester, Andy had been wary of Snape. What's more, Snape is what Helen calls a genius in potions.

By the time Andy arrived at the Potions classroom, it was almost time for class.

Sitting next to Hermione, Andy flipped through the second grade potions textbook.

Helen made a profession by brewing potions. Andy helped Helen handle the potion materials when he was very young, and often watched Helen's process of brewing potions.

So Andy's grades in Potions class have always been good.

Potions class in second grade... is pretty simple too.

When class time came, Snape stepped into the classroom.

By the time Snape reached the podium, the classroom was completely silent.

"Today we will review the knowledge we learned in first grade."

Snape glanced at the young wizards and said in a slow tone: "I have heard many professors mention that after a summer vacation, your brains may only be a little stronger than the trolls."

Andy somewhat disagreed.

Why should the troll be insulted like this?

Snape may seem unkind, but he is actually very attentive.

He first spent an hour retelling the key points learned in the first grade, and then selected a moderately difficult potion for the little wizards to brew in groups.

To be honest, Andy felt that Snape was very detailed.

Although he only taught each knowledge point once, he did not give the young wizard a chance to ask questions. But as long as you listen carefully, it will be enough to recall what you learned last semester.

until……

boom! ! !

Andy turned around and saw that it was Justin from Hufflepuff who had exploded the cauldron.

Two Potions lessons were spent under Snape's poisonous tongue.

After the History of Magic class ended, Ravenclaw ended the day's classes.

…

At night.

After his roommates fell asleep, Andy changed his clothes, took the Marauder's Map, and secretly left the dormitory.

According to the Marauder's Map, Snape was still busy in the office at the moment.

Just when Andy was about to go to the Room of Requirement to copy books and stay up until late at night before taking action, Snape suddenly disappeared from the map.

"Huh?" Andy looked confused.

Snape left the castle?

Or is it that Snape discovered something and that this was just his plan to lure the snake out of its hole?

"Go and take a look first." Andy made up his mind.

You can't accomplish great things by being indecisive.

Andy held the Marauder's Map in one hand and a wand for lighting in the other, walking all the way towards the castle basement.

"Hey! Don't turn on the lights at night!"

A rough voice suddenly sounded, startling Andy.

Andy quickly looked around... there was no one there?

"As for you, turn off the lights quickly!"

Andy looked towards the direction where the sound came from, and saw a portrait covering his eyes with his hands, with a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

Andy: "..."

"Feel sorry!"

Andy responded, quickened his pace and left in a hurry.

Avoiding Filch, Andy walked all the way to the first floor of the castle, and then stopped at the entrance to the basement.

"Wait a moment!"

Andy's face turned ugly, "The portrait knows I'm out for a night out tonight!"

In other words, once Snape's potion ingredients are stolen tonight, Dumbledore will guess that Andy did it.

"You're careless!" Andy was secretly annoyed.

After thinking about it for a moment, Andy decided to go back.

Before going back, Andy made a special trip to the kitchen and asked for some midnight snacks from the house elves at Hogwarts.

The next night, Andy learned the lesson from last night and copied books in the Room of Requirement until past midnight. He stayed up until Snape went back to sleep. Then, with the blessing of the Disillusionment Curse, he resumed stealing the potion. action.

After walking to the basement without any danger, Andy suppressed his excitement and came to Snape's office door.

He took out his wand and pointed it at the office door lock.

Wow!

There was a soft sound, and the door lock of Snape's office was unlocked.

"call--"

Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that my prediction is correct. There is no trap in Snape's office."

Hogwarts has never lacked naughty little wizards, and Snape's personal image is extremely bad.

It is hard to guarantee that there will not be some naughty little wizards who break into Snape's office in the middle of the night to make trouble.

In order to protect the safety of the little wizards, Snape will definitely not set up too dangerous magic traps in the office.

"But you still have to be careful." Andy said to himself.

Slowing down his pace, Andy walked into Snape's office step by step. In the quiet room, Andy could even hear his own heartbeat.

Walking to the shelf where the potion materials were placed, Andy took a quick look. After taking some materials for brewing truth serum, Andy casually took some other materials to confuse his sight.

During the whole process, there was no abnormal reaction in the office.

"Hu——"

With a long sigh of relief, Andy slowly left Snape's office.

All the way to the eighth floor, after entering the Room of Requirement, Andy was still a little unbelievable.

His actions were so smooth.

Not to mention the magic trap, not even a single abnormal situation occurred.

"Too outrageous!" Andy complained.

"But there is another possibility..."

Snape has been at ease in Hogwarts for too long and has lost his due vigilance. In addition, Snape's power is too great, so no one dares to cause trouble in his office.

After all, Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world... after all!
