Chapter 129

"This is a key material used in the new deformation potion developed by Durmstrang - Human Face Vine. It has a strong effect on facial deformation, allowing ordinary people to become similar to the Disguise Magus in a short period of time. ability.”

When no one answered, Devereux raised his hand calmly and then answered the question smoothly.

After hearing this, Professor Sprout had a look of surprise on his face.

"Oh my God, classmate Alexander! I thought you were just talented, but I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the latest developments in the wizarding world! Twenty points for Slytherin!"

Devereaux smiled slightly, then turned his attention to the two remaining herbs on the professor's table, raised his hand to point at them, and continued.

"Thank you, Professor. These two herbs should be Sirius grass and wattlewort. The former is said to be an important ingredient in a new potion to treat lycanthropy, while the latter is a special herb recently developed by St. Mungo's for the treatment of fungal infections. The information comes from the Society of Extraordinary Pharmacists’ weekly newsletter and is said to be in the spotlight at the upcoming International Pharmacist Exchange.”

Devereux revealed the source of his information.

Of course it is impossible for him to read this newspaper.

It was something he inherited through the entries after Sprouni read it.

Professor Sprout was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but clapped his hands and said with appreciation.

"Oh my god! Alexander, your involvement in this area is beyond my expectation. The weekly journal of the Association of Extraordinary Apothecaries is a very professional journal. It's incredible that you can understand it! Fifty points for Slytherin! !”

Devereaux never expected that Professor Sprout would be so generous. His answer actually won Slytherin seventy points.

After thanking the professor, he calmly sat back down. However, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly changed.

The other students who were still in a daze finally reacted and exploded in an instant.

The Slytherin students were the first to cheer, their long-suppressed emotions finally finding their way out.

Just now, Percy had added points one after another, and they were overwhelmed throughout the whole process. Seeing that Slytherin's presence was getting weaker and weaker, many of them were even a little frustrated.

But now, Devereaux alone has equaled or even surpassed Percy's performance in an instant!

A wave of excitement quickly spread among the Slytherin students.

Amidst the cheers, the Slytherin students who had originally kept a distance from Devereaux suddenly felt that the rumored heir to the Dark Lord was somewhat handsome and even had a more convincing charm.

They really didn't expect that the Dark Lord Sandaime in their eyes could actually answer this question.

At the same time, they felt they might actually have been deceived by Devereaux's childlike appearance.

At the same time, all kinds of bizarre speculations spread rapidly in whispers——

Some people have begun to say that Devereaux is constantly collecting intelligence from the outside world in order to subvert the existing Ministry of Magic.

These absurd speculations reached Devereaux's ears, making him laugh.

Subvert the Ministry of Magic?

Forget it, he is just a "happy-go-lucky" person, who has enough time to do Voldemort's tricks?

However, not everyone was happy with the scene.

Percy Weasley was staring at the empty flower pot in front of him with a gloomy expression.

He never raised his head to look at Devereaux, but his stiff expression clearly revealed his inner dissatisfaction.

No one knew what Percy was probably thinking at this time.

But looking at his appearance, I am afraid that the glory he won for Gryffindor just now has long been eclipsed in his heart.

Professor Sprout pressed his hand to signal everyone to quiet down, with relief in his tone.

"Students, we must learn from Alexander! We must always pay attention to the weekly newspapers of the Association of Extraordinary Pharmacists and the Daily Prophet, even if they are just the most basic content. Our exams are not limited to textbooks, but also current events and trends. It’s an essential knowledge point!”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone among the students whispered.

"How come I didn't hear anyone mention The Quibbler?"

Another man answered, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"What are you mentioning? It has been suspended for two weeks and I don't know what happened."

Professor Sprout obviously didn't intend to be distracted by these gossips, so he just cleared his throat and continued.

"Okay, now everyone, let's take a closer look at these herbs. There will be a more in-depth explanation next!"

With that, she waved her wand gently.

The somewhat shriveled herbs that were lying quietly on the stool suddenly underwent wonderful changes.

They come alive as if they have been injected with life, their branches and leaves stretch out, giving off a faint luster.

Then, they slowly floated into the air, like a group of light creatures, swaying gently in the soft light of the greenhouse.

Then, the herbs split into dozens of parts, and each part fell accurately into the flower pot in front of the students present.

Professor Sprout began to patiently explain the properties of herbs, and the students listened attentively.

This is how a practical herbalism class came to an end in the greenhouse.

After class, Devereaux quickly packed his lunch and hurried to Snape's laboratory to work for him.

When entering the laboratory, Snape had arrived early today and was taking notes on the day's experiments with his head down.

Hearing the movement, he raised his eyes and glanced at Devereux, and commanded calmly.

"Here you are? Don't wait any longer. Fresh Sirius grass was just delivered today. Use it to brew a new potion. Hurry up."

Devereaux nodded, but subconsciously avoided Snape's eyes.

He felt very guilty.

Just as he was about to wash his hands and start working, he suddenly heard Snape's deep voice from behind.

"So, do you have nothing to tell me? About your...'little actions'."

Devero shook his hand and almost splashed water all over him.

He turned around slowly, as stiff as a puppet, and saw Snape staring directly at him, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to pierce him.

"I saw it in the morning class,"

Snape's tone was cold, but his tone contained a determination that could not be refuted.

"Don't you usually like to be in the limelight? Why did you pretend to be mute then? You must be hiding something from me."

As he spoke, he gently put down the quill in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and locked his eyes on Devereux like a hawk, obviously preparing to torture him to find out the truth.

Devero secretly held his forehead, complaining in his heart.

It seems that his scolding of the sponsor's father was discovered.

He was about to quibble with Snape when Granger really looked like a pervert.

Snape suddenly spoke.

"So - what do you plan to do with the troll's fingers when you take them from the storage room? Also, the cabbage inside is old and needs to be renewed."

Devereaux just spoke.

"Yes, yes, I shouldn't scold him..."

Stopping suddenly, he raised his head suddenly and his eyes widened.

"Huh? What? Troll finger? Kale?"
