Chapter 125
Devereaux waved his wand skillfully and whispered the unlocking spell, and the door to Snape's office opened silently.
He walked in and put his schoolbag on the desk.
The desktop was as tidy as ever, with nothing on it except the black potions book.
Devereux frowned slightly, thinking about the alchemy tool he was going to make next.
After the plan took shape, he turned around again and opened the door of the storage room in the same way.
Pushing the door open, he just stepped in. When he looked up, he was stunned.
There was actually a person standing in the storage room.
It was the old man who had visited Snape in the afternoon.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the shelf on the right, slightly bent over, looking at the herbs on the shelf intently.
He had no reaction to the sudden entrance of Devereux.
Still looking at the herbs intently.
Devereux was stunned for a moment.
According to common sense, Snape always regarded his storage room as a treasure and would not let anyone enter easily. As tight as he was on guarding the laboratory.
Of course, in the original book, Snape's storage room did look like a public toilet.
Forget about the elf like Dobby who can apparate in the castle.
Even a second year student like Hermione can come and go at will.
The defense is indeed a bit too lax.
But the old man in front of him seemed a little special.
Not only was he completely unguarded on Snape's "territory", he even looked around as if he were walking in his own garden, without the slightest sense of interruption.
Devereaux hesitated, wondering whether to call him out.
But seeing the other party's focused look with no interest in talking, he finally decided to give up.
Since the other party didn't take the initiative to talk to him, he didn't have to ask for trouble.
He bypassed the old man and went straight to the shelf with animal specimens on the left. He raised his wand and used a levitating spell to remove a glass bottle containing a troll's finger, carefully hovering it in mid-air.
As soon as he got the bottles, his eyes inadvertently fell on the wall where the finished potions were placed, and he noticed that one of the bottles of Veritaserum contained much less liquid.
"It seems that it has been used to torture dark wizards recently."
Devereaux thought to himself, and the scene of Snape making someone speak with a cold face came to mind.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and continued his alchemy preparations.
Devereux was holding the glass bottle with the troll's finger in his hand, but when he turned around, he found the old man staring directly at him.
The gaze carried an uncomfortable "scrutiny", as if it wanted to see him thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out, and even had the illusion of being directly attached to him.
What's even more outrageous is that the old man muttered quietly, his tone full of confusion and exclamation.
"It's incredible...I really didn't expect..."
Devereaux frowned, alarm bells blaring in his heart.
Perverted?
He admitted that he was indeed a bit handsome, and his blond hair was always so naturally smooth and flowing, but this did not mean that he could accept an old guy staring at him in a closed storage room and muttering some incomprehensible words.
So, he put the bottle in his hand on the ground, and instantly took out the wand, pointing directly at the old man's eyebrows.
"Old man, when are you going to see me again?"
Devereaux said coldly, with an undisguised warning in his tone.
However, to his surprise, the old man facing the wand not only did not panic, but showed a hint of surprise.
He was stunned for a moment, then spoke.
"You...can you see me?"
Devereaux sneered.
"What, is it strange that I can't see you? Do you think you are an invisible mandrake? You have practiced the Disguise Charm like this and you have the nerve to come out and embarrass yourself? Did you come to Hogwarts to spy on you? Do you think you are my teacher? Just fire me, hehe, let me tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that you might be Professor Snape’s friend, you would be lying on the ground pretending to be a vegetative state!”
After hearing this, the old man looked at the wand held by Devero, smiled instead of angry, raised his hand to straighten his sleeves, with a bit of appreciation in his eyes.
"It's quite interesting. Snape really didn't misjudge you. Your potion talent is quite high."
"Don't give me these useless things,"
Devereux interrupted him coldly, stretching his wand forward.
"Disappear in three seconds, or you will see how I send you back to the dungeons of Hogwarts."
"Okay, I'll just leave."
The old man didn't seem to care, nodded slightly, turned and walked towards the door.
After that, he walked out of the storage room and even closed the door.
But just as he stepped out of the office door, he suddenly turned back and smiled at Devereux.
"By the way, send me a message to Snape. Just say that his old friend is looking forward to seeing him again on Halloween. Also, his kale is a bit old. You should remember my name, right?"
Devereaux was startled and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, you are..."
Of course I don’t remember!
He had no fondness for this old man who behaved strangely and knew himself well, but in order to maintain his "Slytherin demeanor", he reluctantly resisted the urge to complain and opened the other party's panel without changing his face.
The moment the panel appeared, Devereux's pupils suddenly tightened, and his breathing stopped involuntarily for a moment.

"You are...Granger?"
Deverot was stunned by this entry.
Granger smiled slightly at this time.
"Okay, thank you Alexander, see you on Halloween."
Then he closed the office door and left.
Deverot only reacted at this time.
He rushed out the door.
But there was no one outside the door at this time.
"So I was pointing at a big guy and telling him to get out..."
