Chapter 107
"So the entire International Pharmacist Exchange Conference has been postponed?"
Devereaux sat on a bed in the Hogwarts hospital.
There was unconcealable surprise in his tone.
Since his return from St. Mungo's Hospital.
Madam Pomfrey was forced to stay in the hospital for recuperation - she could not be discharged from the hospital until next Monday.
"You were attacked at St. Mungo's Hospital."
Madam Pomfrey said coldly at that time.
"If there's any trouble, you'll be lying there for another week."
Although it sounds a bit harsh.
But for Devereux.
This is also a blessing in disguise.
On the grounds of "aphasia caused by being attacked".
The nagging officials and Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were blocked by Madam Pomfrey.
I can come and visit him now.
Only Professor McGonagall and a few professors on campus.
Standing in front of him now.
It was Professor Snape who had just recovered.
The gauze that wrapped him like a mummy has been removed.
He was back in his iconic black robe.
only.
There was still a cold expression on his face.
Like a dark cloud that will never dissipate.
Snape sneered upon hearing this.
"Of course. There were two attacks by dark wizards within a week. If the organizer of the international exchange conference does not postpone it, do they expect a third attack?"
Devereaux nodded.
Then he asked curiously.
"Professor, when do they plan to postpone it?"
Snape looked normal.
His tone was still calm.
"There is no definite time yet. However, those people coming from Norway seem to be very inclined to choose Halloween, and it will most likely be around that time."
Halloween?
Devereaux raised his eyebrows slightly.
This was the second time he heard "Halloween" in the past two days.
The last time was when I was at St. Mungo's Hospital.
Ms. Prout mentioned that Durmstrang would send someone to repair the instrument that detects the state of the soul.
Durmstrang is located near the North Sea.
And Norwegian pharmacists seem to come from that direction.
Is there any connection between these two things?
He thought for a while.
Can't figure it out yet.
"Okay, normal classes will start next week. I am telling you this to stop you thinking about the international exchange meeting. Your own safety is the most important. You must be accompanied by an adult on campus when you leave school in the future. Do you understand?"
Devereux's eyes widened upon hearing this.
His face was full of disbelief.
No!
Snape would actually say such heartwarming words?
However.
He didn't wait for a second to be moved.
Snape continued to assign tasks in his familiar cold tone.
"Also, don't forget to brew the potion every night. The last pot was completely ruined because you didn't take care of it for too long. Next week, clean the pot and brew a new one."
Devereaux's eyes darkened after hearing this.
Suddenly I felt like I was hit by reality.
Sure enough, there are no shortage of “black slaves” as they should be!
Finished.
Snape didn't wait for Devereux to answer either.
Then he turned around and left.
Devereaux quickly stopped.
"Professor, I still have some questions about potions that I would like to ask you."
Snape turned around at this.
He raised his eyebrows.
Seems quite surprised.
"Oh? The potion genius wants to ask me for advice?"
Devereaux's mouth twitched.
Then he complimented.
"No, no, no, no. Your level is far above mine. How can you be a potion genius? I will always be your little apprentice."
Snape was praised by this.
Devereaux could clearly see the corners of his mouth turning up.
"Okay, if you have any questions, ask me. I have to go back and prepare the lesson plan."
Snape was praised for being in a good mood.
Then he took a step forward.
Devereaux's problems at the moment are twofold.
A magic potion about soul repair.
A potion about werewolves.
Devereux thought about asking simpler questions first.
"Hmm, Professor, what I want to ask is actually quite simple. Regarding the refining of magic potions to suppress werewolves' wolf venom, where are the current cutting-edge research results in the entire academic community?"
To Devereux, he is a [Potion Spirit] after all.
Questions such as what it is made of or what its materials are composed of.
He knew everything.
But the current progress of potion research in the magic world is not very clear.
This also requires the help of Snape, a figure who is deeply involved in this field.
After hearing this, Snape gave Devereux a strange look.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this issue? Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing either, and I want to correct you. The correct term for this symptom is lycanthropy. Regarding research in this area, Damkos Marcus is considered an authority, and he was also a student of Slytherin.”
Devereux's eyes widened when he heard it.
"Marcus?"
Snape nodded slightly.
"Yes, he is a relative of Flint Marcus."
Devereaux was a little stunned.
I really didn’t expect to find such a connection in this regard.
"His latest research, if I remember correctly, was two years ago. At that time, he said that he had discovered an herb called 'Sirius Grass' that could effectively suppress the manic symptoms of lycanthropy."
I don’t know why Snape looked a little disgusted when he mentioned the name of this herb.
Deveraux’s eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.
“Then professor, do you know where to get this material?”
Seeing Deveraux so excited.
Snape’s eyes narrowed immediately.
He looked at Deveraux with some caution.
“Why are you asking this? Why are you interested in lycanthropy?”
Deveraux sat up straight immediately.
He looked at Snape with an extremely upright look.
“Professor, since ancient times, the gap between humans and werewolves has existed for a long time. I am very sad about this situation!”
Snape snorted coldly at Deveraux after hearing this.
He turned around and was about to leave.
Deveraux hurried forward and grabbed the professor’s sleeve.
“Hey, hey, hey, professor, I’m serious. I really have a solution to lycanthropy now. You will definitely be interested!”
Hearing what Deveraux said.
Snape stopped and looked at him.
"Do you really have an idea?"
Deverot immediately stood up and said confidently.
"Professor, I dare say that as long as you can get 'Sirius Grass', then I will definitely give you a formula that is a hundred times better than that Damcos!"
Snape looked at Deverot suspiciously.
"Only 'Sirius Grass'?"
Deverot nodded heavily.
But he still added.
"Of course, if you can really get me a werewolf, the effect will definitely be better!"
Snape's eyes flashed slightly.
Obviously, he was moved!
Deverot immediately added fuel to the fire.
"Professor, think about it, if we really get it, what kind of honor will we get? At least a second-class medal of the Order of Merlin!"
Said.
He also exaggeratedly gestured on his chest.
His tone became more sincere.
"Of course! A small part of this medal belongs to me, but the most important thing is that a large part belongs to you, Silvester Snape!!!"
He was so moved that he almost cried.
Snape had a smug smile on his face.
It was as if the medal of the Order of Merlin was already on his chest.
But he soon restrained himself.
He coughed lightly.
Then he looked at Deveraux and said.
"Okay, I'll bring the Sirius Grass next Monday. You'd better be able to give me ideas as you said."
After saying that.
He turned and left.
Looking at Snape's back as he left.
Deveraux couldn't help but wave his fist.
"Okay, I've fooled you again!"
At this time.
A voice suddenly came from under his bed.
"Deverro, do you want to study werewolves?"
(Dear masters, thank you very much for urging me to update. I found that some masters gave me rewards to urge me to update. Everyone knows that I update 6,000 chapters a day. I said before that I was too busy to update more. This week, it has been relatively stable. I calculated on Saturday that it should be no problem to produce five chapters a day. Sunday will be more casual, so I plan to add more chapters every weekend to repay everyone's rewards. This is what I think. For every 10 yuan reward, I will add one chapter. The total reward now is 217.77. Even if I owe 22 chapters, if I can add more chapters every week, it will take six weeks to pay it off (so long (屮゜Д゜)屮) Anyway, thank you for your rewards and urging me to update. I will continue to code!)
