Chapter 21

Overall, Devereaux was very satisfied with the banquet.

But it's not perfect.

There are three points in this.

The first point is that other students except Marcus don't pay much attention to me.

It was probably Malfoy who guided me.

There was a tendency to isolate Devereux.

Of course, Devereux didn't care.

He was only interested in the castle, or in other words, the entry upgrade card.

He completely ignored the tricks played by these underage brats.

The second point is that Bloody Barrow sat directly diagonally across from Devero.

Forehead.

A man covered in blood sits across from you.

It will affect people's appetite to some extent.

Devereaux didn't touch red food all night.

But it was Malfoy who had more opinions than him.

He barely ate a bite.

Devereux looked at him with a gloomy expression.

My appetite is getting better and better.

The third point is that Snape suddenly appeared and interrupted his feast.

"Alexander, come with me."

Devereaux hadn't waited until the last dessert was served.

A familiar and deep voice sounded.

Devero's hair stood up at the sound.

It's not good to scream secretly.

Turning back stiffly.

Then he saw Professor Snape, who was wearing a black cloak and his eyes were as sharp as snakes.

"I have to solve your problem."

When Devereux heard this, he immediately frowned.

Put down the pudding that you have been craving for a long time.

He stood up and followed Snape.

Draco Malfoy's eyes lit up.

Whispering excitedly to Goyle next to him.

Pointing at Devereaux.

Crabbe said a little stupidly.

"This guy was sent away by the teacher!"

"Hahaha, I thought my dad was going to take action. Now that Professor Snape knows, he has a good relationship with my dad and is so kind to me! Alexander will definitely be expelled!"

Draco's tone was filled with schadenfreude.

"Yes, you said that if you want to be first in grade, you will be expelled now that school starts!"

Goyle echoed.

The three of them laughed more and more proudly.

Marcus looked at their leaving figures with some concern.

"Probably not... but Professor Snape actually came to call him in person... Sigh... I guess the situation is not good."

he whispered.

As a result, all Slytherins thought that Devereaux was about to be expelled.

Dumbledore, who was in the classroom seat, looked in the direction of Slytherin.

The clear blue eyes narrowed slightly.

——

Devereaux followed Professor Snape through the dark corridors.

I have mixed feelings.

He had no idea where Professor Snape was taking him.

But I felt a little uneasy.

The main thing is the fear of being fired.

After that, it will be difficult to contact the professors at the school.

Snape's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor.

Devereaux followed.

I silently prayed that everything would be resolved smoothly.

——

Snap!

Snape placed a huge piece of parchment on the table.

"First write down your simplified recipe for Polyjuice Potion and the corresponding configuration ideas here."

After Snape took Devereaux into his office.

After using the wand to get Devereaux a chair.

Then he sat down on his seat.

He stared straight at Devereux.

This made Devereux relieved.

It's not just about him hurting people on the train.

Sit down, take Snape's quill and write.

Although the idea this time was after he obtained the magic potion spirit body.

Just thought of it.

It has not been tested experimentally.

But Devereaux had a gut feeling.

It's okay to do this.

In line with the trust in the red entry.

Devereux just wrote it down.

Snape said not a word during the process.

The only sound in this office is the rustling of quills writing.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

Devereux wrote it all out.

The speed was so fast that Snape raised his eyebrows slightly.

Somewhat surprised.

He originally thought that Devereaux was just a kid.

It only takes less than half an hour to write such a complicated thing.

It's probably impossible to figure it out.

I didn't expect it to be so fast.

Devereaux was certainly fast.

These things come to Hogwarts.

I have long known it by heart.

Snape took the parchment and began to read.

to be honest.

Even now, he still has doubts about Devereaux's remarks.

He still thought Devereaux might be the dark wizard from Knockturn Alley.

What deal was made.

Not only taught him spells.

He also taught him various methods of brewing potions.

But now, he doesn't think so anymore.

Snape sat upright at this time, picked up the quill and began to reason seriously according to Devereux's ideas.

Completely immerse yourself in the world of potions.

At this point Devereaux was finally able to take a good look at Snape's office.

As soon as I walked in the door.

Devereaux felt the temperature plummet.

It feels like the place where Slytherin stays is one level lower than other places.

There were several dim oil lamps hanging on the surrounding walls.

Emit a faint light.

There is a large desk in the center of the office.

The desk is piled with various books.

Parchment paper and bottles and jars.

Bottles of different colored liquids shone strangely under the light.

Some of the liquid is still slowly swirling.

As if there is life.

There is a thick black book on the corner of the desk.

It had some illegible words written on it in silver ink.

Behind the desk is a high-backed chair.

The chairs were covered with soft black velvet cushions.

Professor Snape sat there.

His black robe looked even darker in the dim light.

The face is shrouded in shadow.

Only a pair of sharp thinking eyes shone in the darkness.

behind him.

There is a wooden door.

The paint peeling off the bronze plate on the door has words vaguely engraved on it.

"storage room"

Devereaux's eyes lit up.

This is a great place!

In the original book, the protagonist group relied on stealing herbs from Snape's storage room several times.

Only then were we able to overcome the difficulties.

I guess I might be a regular visitor here, hehe.

After half an hour.

Devereux began to yawn.

Snape put down the parchment in surprise.

At this time, the parchment was already filled with various annotations.

It’s so dense that it’s hard to see the original content.

"impossible!"

Devereaux raised an eyebrow.

Is this old bat still doubting himself?

"This is definitely not something that the Knockturn Alley gang can make!!"

Devereaux nodded with satisfaction.

That is indeed impossible!

Snape sighed.

Leaning back in his chair.

He held his forehead and looked at Devereux.

That look was like looking at a monster.

"Why?"

"What why?"

Devereaux was a little confused by Snape's abrupt question.

"Why didn't you do this when you were an apprentice before? Put forward your suggestions for improvement or something like that?"

Snape's language at this time was much kinder than before.

His facial expressions relaxed.

But there was still some shock and confusion.

He was now so shocked by Devereaux that he couldn't put on the airs he had before.

This kid's idea is a huge discovery that can change the way of making this kind of magic potion!

It may even have a big impact on the entire science of potions!

Definitely a unique potion genius in history!

But before, he had been in obscurity for so many years under his own hands?

It was really puzzling to Snape.

"Well, you won't let me."

Devereaux said the answer he had been preparing for a long time.

He knew it would leave Snape speechless.

"What? You...hiss..."

Snape subconsciously wanted to refute.

But when he opened his mouth, he thought back to his previous attitude towards Devereaux.

I suddenly felt that what this guy said seemed to make sense.

I really didn't let him express any opinions.

See his expression.

The corners of Devereaux's lips curled up slightly.

Can choke this old bat.

It is really tied with cleaning up Malfoy as Devereux's two favorite entertainment activities at present!
