Hogwarts School of the Dark Arts

After class, Harry and Ron looked at Xavier maliciously, waiting for Xavier to give him a big "surprise" as soon as he left the classroom!

However, they waited and waited, but Xavier refused to leave. He only slowly packed away the magic materials on the table, and finally walked straight towards Snape, who had not yet left.

"Let's go out and block him."

"okay!"

Harry and Ron left the classroom, and Xavier came to Snape.

"Professor Snape, I wonder if you can give me some gastrodia elata, devil's pepper, papilloma tuber pus, ginger root, gillyweed..."

Xavier reported more than 20 kinds of magic materials in succession, which made Snape frown.

Snape frowned while silently repeating the names of various materials. When he looked up at Xavier, he suddenly put on a slightly mocking expression.

"They are all materials with a strong smell. Are you going to use them to tease your classmates like you did today? I won't give them to you for being boring and of low taste," Snape said.

"No, no, no, I want to use these materials to try to make a brand new potion myself. My ideal effect is that after applying it, it can drive away magical creatures...at least make them feel disgusted and not want to come near." Xavier explained.

Snape frowned, as if he was thinking about the feasibility, but he was not merciful at all.

"Want to go to the Forbidden Forest? Maybe I should hand you over to Professor McGonagall or Filch directly." Snape said.

"I have no interest in the Forbidden Forest." Try making a potion that will repel goblins.”

"I'm an orphan. Although my parents are both wizards, they didn't leave me much money. I want to see if I can make some and sell them to make some money."

"Hmph! A new student who has just entered school wants to prepare a brand new potion by himself. Mr. Owen, what do you think of potion science? You are overestimating your abilities!"

Snape snorted, stood up, banged a pile of parchment on the table, tidied it up, then turned and left.

After taking two steps, Snape suddenly stopped again.

"What are you still standing there for? Follow me to the office."

Oh ho~ Done!

"Yes, Professor Snape."

Xavier hurried to follow.

"Watch the move! Xavier!"

Bang!

"Ssssss...Professor Snape?!!"

"Mr. Weasley, if this is class time, I will definitely deduct 100 Gryffindor points for you! Humph!"

After Snape left, Xavier popped up with a smile, gave Ron an extremely provocative look and hurried to follow Snape's footsteps.

If you don't follow this closely, you may really get beaten.

Arriving all the way to Snape's office, Snape put down the things in his hands and opened another door, but closed the door after entering.

After a while, Snape came out with a small box, locked the door and put the box towards the cabinet next to him.

"Don't kill yourself. If you kill yourself, I won't help you collect your body."

"Maybe I can dig a pit somewhere with a nice view and brew the potion in it... Thank you, Professor Snape, I'll go back first."

Picking up the box, Xavier happily left Snape's office, not forgetting to close the door after going out.

Holding a box of potion ingredients, Xavier had already begun to calculate the specific ratio of ingredients for the hot pot base in his mind.

Potion?

Get rid of Te Meow’s magic potion, I want to eat hot pot!

……

…………

Breathe...suck...squeak...

"Oh, it's so spicy. Give me some water and suck it up..."

"Here, hoo... hoo... it's too spicy, I can't eat it."

Harry and Ron's faces were all red at the moment, especially their lips, which were bright red.

Xavier didn't fare much better either. His face was also flushed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his mouth was constantly sucking.

At this time, the three of them were huddled together in the Gryffindor common room, cooking hotpot and eating meat using the firewood in the fireplace.

"Miscalculation, I used devil pepper to replace the chili pepper in the original base. I had already paid attention to reducing the amount, but unexpectedly I added too much. But what do you think of the taste? Is it acceptable?" Xavier picked up a glass of water and drank. And Jinhou asked while wiping his sweat.

"It tastes great, sucks...it's just too spicy!" Harry also wiped his sweat and said, "By the way, where did you get the meat?"

"I killed the owl."

puff!

Ron on the side squirted instantly and looked at Xavier in disbelief.

"Stop kidding, this is obviously mutton!" Harry said angrily.

"Oh, I asked for it from the kitchen elf."

"They just gave it to you?"

"Well, I told them I wanted to feed some carnivorous slugs for research, so they gave me the meat and cut it up for me."

"Good for you!"

While chatting, Xavier picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into the hot pot to cook. Ron was very envious.

He couldn't use chopsticks and could only use a fork, which was very inconvenient for rinsing the meat.

"I'll have to practice using two wands to pick things up later... But do Eastern wizards really use two wands called chopsticks to eat?" Ron asked.

"Of course!"

"That's right. If you point your wand at someone after eating something so spicy, you might actually accidentally release magic and hurt someone in your excitement."

Xavier:…

Do you really believe it?

"No, I can't eat it either. It's too spicy..." Ron looked at the meat slices in the pot with unfulfilled interest, as if he still wanted to eat it.

"I'll get some more water."

"No, no, no, no...suck it..." Ron sucked and shook his head violently: "If you add water, it won't taste good. It has to be so spicy to taste delicious! I'll slow down, just let me slow down for a while...suck..."

Good guy, you actually mastered the true meaning of eating hot pot the first time you ate it!

"Then you eat slowly... exhale... breathe in... I'm going to get some air."

Harry stood up while fanning himself with his hands. He was the least able to tolerate spicy food among the three, and now he was so spicy that he doubted his life.

After a while, Harry came back and found that Xavier had actually started eating again, but it was just vegetables.

"You're back just in time to ask you a question." Xavier said.

"You said."

"Suck...what's the problem?"

"Do you think it's possible to promote this hot pot in Hogwarts? I mean selling the hot pot base to other people."
