Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 The Half-Blood Prince
When it comes to Potions, we have to mention Hogwarts Potions Master, King of the Basement, Gryffindor's Nightmare, Slytherin's Guardian, Silent Greasy Uncle-Severus Severus Nepe.

This is indeed a master of Potions... So, when there was no class in the afternoon, Ash slowly came to the dark basement.

He didn't knock on the door immediately, but opened the door carefully and took a look into the Potions classroom. He saw Snape in black robe, the black-faced Potions master cleaning the potions by himself. medicine material.

"Embers?" He saw Ash, and his slightly disgusted voice showed that he really didn't like Ash very much.

"Good afternoon, Snape." Ash said slowly, "I have something to ask you."

"Hehe." Snape sneered, he glanced at Ash and then shook the materials in his hand, "I'm not free now."

Ash smiled and walked to Snape, "Some simple questions." He didn't offer to help Snape, he felt that the Potions professor had an inexplicable sense of conceit, and his kind help would definitely be rejected.

Snape frowned, he thought Ash might have to ask some stupid questions about Death Eaters again...

"Wait until I'm free." Snape said slowly, his voice was low, his face darkened, he looked quite dissatisfied, and he even stopped handling potion ingredients.

Ash didn't dare to provoke him... He just said sorry and left... Just like what he thought, he felt that Snape would reject him before he came, of course, the purpose of Ash coming here is certainly not to be rejected .

He flicked his wand slightly, using invisibility to hide himself.

He slowly returned to the classroom just now, and slipped in through the door that was deliberately left open. If you don't tell me, can't I see it myself?
He slowly sat opposite Snape, watching patiently the earnest Potions professor handling potion ingredients. After a while, Snape put down the processed ingredients and put them in the cabinet .

Then he took out some materials from inside and placed them neatly on the table.

Snape picked up some narcissus roots and mashed them slowly, with such grace and deliberation that it was impossible to imagine that he still had long, greasy hair.

Snape then poured the crushed powder into the wormwood infusion and lit the fire under the cauldron.

Ash watched this scene seriously. He took out his notebook and carefully wrote down Snape's action points. Having done some homework, he quickly saw that this was a living hell potion.

Living Hell Potion is a powerful sedative that can easily put a grown wizard to sleep.

Ash watched Snape's movements very attentively. Snape was skillful and used precise materials. The preparation of potions, which were originally very troublesome, seemed extremely calm and indifferent under his hands.

Before he knew it, Ash watched it for nearly an hour. Snape didn't strictly follow the textbook. He would always omit some steps more or less, but it seemed to be quite effective.

At the very least, it effectively reduces the time for potion refining.

Snape steadily poured the extracted potion into the small bottle, and then slowly cleaned up all kinds of sundries on the table.

He looked up at the clock in the classroom, it was past six o'clock... He decided to go eat something, so he locked the drawer and was about to leave with slow steps.

But for some reason, he always felt weird standing at the door... He also felt this way when he was making the potion just now, as if someone was quietly staring at him...

This made him very upset... He looked around the classroom, but found nothing strange, so he gave a slight cold snort, locked the door and left.

Ash smiled slightly in the empty classroom. He flicked his wand to release his invisibility, and then walked gently to Snape's locked cabinet.

It was full of potions and materials... Of course Ash would not do such a thing as stealing potions... He was just a little curious about what potions Snape had refined.

"Alahoo is open..." he said softly, and then opened the locked cabinet.

It was full of bottles and jars, the upper two layers were full of potions, and the lower layer was full of various materials. Ash even saw some venom of eight-eyed spiders... He refined these for Snape .

In the end, he didn't even want to answer the question... How stingy.

Ash muttered and picked up a bottle of potion and looked at it. Is this a bottle of Felicia?Ash looked at it uncertainly. His research on potion science was almost nonexistent, and everything came from the knowledge bestowed by the gods who hadn't been forgotten.

"Patta..." Ash bumped into a strange thing.

Like a book?Ash withdrew his hand holding the potion, and turned towards the book.

Soon, he took out the book. There was a thick layer of dust on it, as if it hadn't been used for a long time.

Ash gently blew away the dust, and then saw the cover of the book clearly.

This is a Potions textbook.

Ash looked at the book curiously, but he didn't expect that Snape still hid a previous textbook... He slowly opened the textbook, and all he saw were dense notes.

Useful things... It is full of knowledge about potion science and tricks of potion refining. Ash nodded. This should be the biggest gain of his "adventure".

It seemed that Professor Snape hadn't flipped through this notebook for a long time, Ash let go of the materials and potions inside, and became interested in this book instead.

If Snape found out that the cabinet had been stolen as soon as he came back, then the object of his suspicion would undoubtedly be Ash, so Ash carefully restored the location of the potion in the cabinet, making sure that Snape would not be able to find out about it in the first place. thing.

He flipped through the notes slightly. The book wasn't too thick, but the content was sufficient. Soon, Ash casually flipped to the last page.

The above string of English made Ash stunned for a moment.

"This book belongs to the Half-Blood Prince..."

"Half-Blood Prince?" Ash was taken aback. He didn't expect Snape to give himself such a "nickname" when he was young. To be honest, it was much better than my nickname.

Ash smiled slightly and put the notebook away, it looked like he had some research tonight.

…………

"The configuration of wolfbane potion is so difficult!" Woka couldn't help scratching his head looking at the books borrowed from the library.

"Didn't Professor Embers say it?" Qiu Zhang said with a smile, and she also had a book on Potions in her hand.

"I thought it was relative..." Woka muttered as he flipped the pages of the book, the wolfsbane potion took up almost a third of the book...

Looking at the densely packed writing on it, Woka couldn't help but feel a headache, and she still thought that she could complete the great cause of saving the werewolves in one fell swoop.

"Eat?" Qiu Zhang asked casually, she was a little hungry.

"No, no..." Woka shook his head, "Let me see again, the important task of saving the werewolves is up to me..."

Qiu Zhang shook her head and smiled, but did not leave, she continued to immerse herself in the book.
