Chapter 69: No Experience in Showing Courtesy
After class, Aaron came to Snape's office with trepidation. Looking at the familiar yet strange door, he stopped.
If it was usual, he would have gone in without a care, but today Snape was particularly abnormal, as if he had changed into a different person, which made him have to be alert.
After a few seconds of silence, Aaron still knocked on the door.
Snape's excited voice suddenly came from the office, "Come in!"
Aaron entered the office and closed the door, looking at Snape a little restrained, "Professor, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Sit down first, sit down first." Snape pushed Aaron to a chair and brought him a drink very familiarly, "You must be thirsty, have some butter beer first.
This is widely praised by young wizards, you will like it."
Gulp!
Aaron swallowed his saliva, looked at the light yellow drink in front of him, and smiled awkwardly but politely, with no intention of drinking it at all.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He dared to bet Abe's food for the next month. Snape has never been so good to people.
Who knows if Snape has put some magic potion in this drink? He is still in the stage of wretched development and will be in this stage for a long time. He dare not take risks.
"Professor, my mother has warned me more than once that children cannot drink alcohol, no matter how low the alcohol content is.
I can't disobey my mother, she will be sad.
So, I won't drink this drink."
Snape was stunned, looked at him with a strange look, and took out a box with all kinds of snacks in it.
"Cut! That's it?" Aaron smiled coldly in his heart. Although he didn't know what Snape's purpose was, he didn't take him seriously. Which student couldn't stand such a test?
However, just when Aaron was disdainful, Abe in his arms was a little uneasy, staring at the snack box with a pair of longan eyes and refused to move away.
"Ahem!" Aaron coughed lightly and put one hand on its head.
Can you restrain yourself a little? Don't drool on me.
"Professor, what do you mean by this?"
"Don't wizards of your age like these?" Snape said.
"Those are wizards from ordinary families. I have eaten all kinds of delicacies since I was a child.
To be honest, money is much more attractive to me than these things."
Snape suddenly realized, rummaged under the desk for a long time, and took out a big box. When he opened it, it was full of gold galleons.
The light of money flashed in front of Aaron's eyes, but he was completely unmoved, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
What a joke? If you insult Weasley with money, they will definitely ask to insult them more.
But he is Gaius, and his family has never lacked money.
Snape's move is simply a naked insult. Who is he looking down on!
However, Aaron was also sure that Snape had no conspiracy against him, otherwise he would not have resorted to such a low-end method.
But if someone is too attentive to him for no reason, he must be a traitor or a thief. He definitely has his own purpose.
"This is the cash I have, and the rest of my assets are stored in Gringotts!" Seeing Aaron's indifference, Snape hurriedly reported his own wealth, "I am a potion master after all. Although I don't care much about money, I have saved a lot over the years. The amount will definitely not disappoint you. It is at least dozens of times more than what is in the box."
"Wait, stop." Aaron waved his hand immediately and looked at Snape meaningfully, "Professor, please tell me what you want from me, otherwise I always feel a little confused.
And professor, you should have never bribed anyone in your life!
You can't even do what he wants. You are so upright. I am really ashamed of you as a student!"
Snape was silent for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "I heard from Hagrid that you have a potion that can bring people back to life."
Aaron:......
Fuck!
Hagrid, did I dig up the ancestral graves of your giant family?
Why do you always have to make things difficult for me?
"Professor Snape." Aaron's face became serious. "Besides you, who else knows about this?"
"Do you really have a potion that can bring people back to life?" Snape stood up excitedly, staring at Aaron with his eyes.
"Don't get excited, Professor. That thing is not as useful as you think." Aaron explained.
"How can I not be excited?
Aaron, give me the potion. I am willing to pay any price to exchange it with you."
"Hmm? It seems that someone very important to you is no longer alive!"
Snape did not speak, but nodded gently.
"So that bottle of potion is of no use to you. It can only revive the life of people who died within an hour." Aaron said with regret.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course.
Who would carry such a precious thing with them except for emergency."
The gleam in Snape's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he slowly sat down on the chair. His heart seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and he was lost.
After a long time, he slowly stretched out his right hand, "Take out the potion for me to see."
"This is not appropriate!" Aaron laughed, "That's my heirloom, what if you snatch it away?"
"Don't worry about it, I still have the integrity as a teacher.
I won't steal students' things.
Besides, if the potion is really as you said, it is of great value, but it is still useless to me."
"Who knows!" Aaron spread his hands and refused to take out the things.
The resurrection potion is his second life. Who would hand over his second life to others so easily?
Even last night, he only took out the bottle, but it was in his hand all the time, and he could put it into the system space in seconds, and no one could snatch it.
But it's hard to say when it comes to Snape's hands. What if he suddenly gives up his "ethics"?
Compared to a potion that can revive any life, ethics is nothing, not to mention that Snape is a master of potions, how could this potion not be attractive to him.
Snape seemed to have seen Aaron's concerns, and said lightly: "You are so young and have so many thoughts, Aaron Gaius, it's really hard for you to be so vigilant."
"Hey! No, no." Aaron said embarrassedly, "Compared to what you did just now, Professor, I'm just doing basic operations."
"Okay! It's your freedom to show it to me or not, but...
I need to remind you that I'm not the only one who knows about this."
Aaron's heart skipped a beat, and he was no longer as calm as before, "How many people know?"
Snape smiled without saying anything, you also get anxious sometimes!
Aaron gnashed his teeth in anger, "Okay, I'll let you see it, okay!"
"A wise decision." Snape said proudly, "I'll just study it and give it to you right after I finish reading it, and I promise that the news won't spread."
"It's better, otherwise..." Aaron looked at Abe helplessly, "Otherwise I can only feed it to the pet."
"Are you crazy? You can't waste it like this!" Snape was stunned, but the next second he figured something out and nodded, "If everyone really knows about it, this may be the best way.
Otherwise you will definitely become the target of public criticism, and there will be countless troubles for you."
"That's what I'm worried about. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure!
But I have another way, which is to lock the potion in the treasure house at home.
The magic world will not offend a powerful family for a bottle of potion, because that thing looks rare, but in fact it is useless to most people." Aaron said, took out the emerald green bottle, and carefully placed it on Snape's desk.
Snape picked up the potion and opened the bottle cap. A strong breath of life suddenly gushed out, making him feel relaxed and happy, just like lying on the lawn and basking in the sun.
But as the bottle cap was closed, that feeling disappeared instantly.
Snape shook his head with some regret, "You really didn't lie to me. This thing contains extremely powerful vitality, which can bring back the life that has just died from the death.
But it is useless for people who have been dead for a long time. No matter how powerful the vitality is, it can't save them. At most, it can keep their bodies from decaying."
"That's right." Aaron nodded and put the bottle back, "But just based on these, this can also be called a priceless treasure.
And according to my research, this bottle of potion is not only used as a single resurrection potion.
People who are suffering from diseases can use it Cure illness or prolong life. People without any disaster or disease can rely on it to prolong their lifespan. More importantly, people who are seriously injured or even on the verge of death can use it to recover to their prime.
Unfortunately, there is someone in Hogwarts who needs this thing. "
As Aaron's last sentence fell, Snape's pupils slightly dilated, "What do you know?"
"What do I know?" Aaron asked with pretended doubt, "Didn't Hagrid tell you that someone in the Forbidden Forest sucked the blood of unicorns to prolong their lives?
I really don't mean to say that the security of Hogwarts is really bad. They can actually let such a monster in. "
