Parents of Hogwarts

"You did it all yourself"

Lily reached out and pressed the soft seat, raised her head and asked Karan in surprise.

As for Snape, he had already begun to look carefully at the equipment and the ingredients in the glass bottles, his eyes slowly widening.

The workload here seems to be quite large, not to mention there are so many things.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Karan stretched out his hand and pointed around: "Most facilities can only be solved by transformation. The stone tables and chairs you see are all made in this way."

"As for the others..."

Karan smiled proudly: "It's nothing more than something that can be done by spending more money. After all, these things are not illegal items, and they are not even involved in black magic."

"All right."

Karan clapped his hands to force their attention to them.

"Now, let's start preparing the potion."

With Karan's strong support, the two no longer considered whether they could succeed.

As Karan once said, with such perfect preparations, they really had no reason to refuse.

But as soon as she realized this, Lily couldn't help but think of the scene in the Potions classroom. At that time, she was still angry and said she wanted to see Karan's performance before making a decision.

And Karan’s handwritten letter.

"Penny hasn't responded to any of my messages since I sent your letter."

Lily muttered dissatisfiedly, with a hint of sadness and worry on her face.

Karan handed it to Snape, and he said helplessly: "She will always forget these things."

"It just takes time."

Lily immediately glared at Karan. She originally wanted Karan to write another letter asking about Penny's situation, because now Penny has refused to reply to her own letter.

Snape watched this scene. He silently handed the book he just took to Lily, indicating that if Lily wanted to hit Callan, she should use this book to hit him more painfully.

Karan looked at the two of them amusedly, and automatically floated out of Snape's hand. During this period, he knocked his head in retaliation, and then slowly fell into Lily's hand and automatically opened the page.

"OK OK."

Karan gently comforted him: "Let's take the time to get familiar with the equipment here, otherwise there will be a curfew in a while."

Lily hummed and looked up. Snape rubbed his forehead and carefully kept his distance from Lily.

Karan controlled the crucible, scales and other equipment and placed them on the table in order, making preparations in advance.

After a while, Snape suddenly suggested in a low voice: "How about the Felixir?"

This was the first time he had seen such a magical potion that could directly improve the luck of the drinker.

Zygmunt Bach's invention immediately impressed him deeply, and he inevitably wanted to challenge the highest achievement in Mr. Bach's entire career.

Karan stretched out his hand to stabilize both ends of the brass scale. He refused without looking back: "It will take at least six months to make the elixir. We may not have a complete one before the end of this semester." There is no chance to try, but we can’t sneak back to the castle during the holidays.”

"Furthermore, the configuration of the Fuling Elixir is too difficult. If it fails, it will have catastrophic consequences. I have no confidence that we can protect the safety of the three of us."

"What about Polyjuice Potion?"

Lily said with interest: "It can make a human drinker temporarily look like another person, and the color and taste will also change depending on the person being imitated."

She seemed clearly more interested in the latter feature than in the actual effects of Polyjuice Potion.

"The book also says that these changes are related to whether the person being imitated is kind or not."

When she said this, Lily raised her head, squinting her eyes slightly and looking at Karan's back.

Because of Penny's incident, she suddenly questioned Karan's character.

Snape on the side secretly glanced at Lily's profile, wondering what the Polyjuice Potion would taste like if she were the one being imitated.

Inexplicably, Snape recalled the scene when he first met Lily, and the fragrance of the sun shining on the soil and grass.

"During the preparation of Polyjuice Potion, lacewings need to be simmered for 21 days."

Karan slowly turned around and glanced at Snape inadvertently, which made him lower his head in embarrassment.

Lily didn't notice anything strange between the two of them, while Karan continued to shake his head in refusal, with just a slight smile on his face.

"Furthermore, the oozing grass also needs to be picked during the full moon. Even if the entire preparation process goes well, it will take at least a month. Then someone will need to come here every day to take care of the potion in the crucible. We don't have so much time to spend on it. Up here.”

"Then what are you going to do?" After both of their proposals were rejected, Lily looked a little angry.

With the smile on Karan's face, the page automatically opened and finally reached a complete page.

Lily suddenly thought of the previous scene in the library, where Karan was reading relevant content.

"Have you thought about it a long time ago?" Lily asked suspiciously, and Snape also cast the same look at him.

"The production cycle is short, and it is newt-level content."

Karan showed a matter-of-fact expression: "Is there anything more suitable than this?"

Seeing that the two of them were still a little suspicious, Karan had no choice but to say: "After all, we still have our own things to do. You have first-year courses, and I still need to think about the magic coins."

As he spoke, he had automatically excluded himself from being a first-year student.

Both of them clearly understood what he meant. Lily deliberately pretended to be disgusted, while Snape stared at the preparation steps on the page and said hesitantly.

"But we don't necessarily have to start with such a high-level potion. Although the preparation period of the Living Hell Potion is shorter than that of the Polyjuice Potion, the difficulty is not reduced because of this. On the contrary, it is more difficult."

"How about... how about starting with the laughter potion?"

"After all, this is the most perfect formula that Mr. Budge has improved, and it is also the original reason that led him to become a pharmacist. It may make more sense if we start from here."

"Uh...why are you looking at me like that?"

Snape looked at the two of them blankly, and they both stared at him with a slightly strange look.

"Do you want to be a pharmacist in the future?" Lily suddenly asked him.

When talking about potions just now, Snape became inexplicably more engaged, which was completely different from his usual appearance.

"I mean, after all, the purpose of today is just to get familiar with the equipment..."

Snape avoided the two's eyes with some embarrassment. He stammered: "As for the potion...it just feels very precise and strict to me."

After a pause, he whispered again: "It's amazing."

"Fascinating too."

There was a brief silence.

"no problem"

Karan suddenly shouted, startling the two of them.

A big smile appeared on his face, and he nodded in agreement at Snape.

"Start with the Laughter Potion"
