Hogwarts Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach

"Good evening, Mr. Emmanuel." A deep voice sounded in his ears, making the young child tremble.

"Good evening, Professor Snape." Carlos quickly greeted Snape who appeared out of nowhere. He was heading to Snape's office and met him on the road somehow.

"Hmph..." Snape sneered: "I thought Mr. Emmanuel didn't know that it was already evening. You have to know that it is already [-]:[-]."

"Hmm..." Carlos nodded: "Eight and a half." He didn't understand what Snape meant, so why did he emphasize the time?

"You're already late." Snape frowned and said, "And it's five minutes."

"Sorry!"

Looking at the little wizard who was apologizing insincerely, Snape snorted coldly, then walked ahead on his own, saying as he walked: "Tonight your task is to handle the narcissus root powder."

Seeing Carlos's disapproval, Snape emphasized: "150 copies."

"Huh?" Carlos was stunned, 150 copies!You must know that processing narcissus root powder is not easy, and one serving may take several minutes... Now Snape wants 150 servings a night?

"tonight?"

"Of course." Snape nodded: "Originally there were only fifty copies."

"But in view of your lateness, I think since you don't care about time, then... it's okay to work a little longer."

Snape said angrily while pushing open the wooden door of the office.

Amidst the creaking sound of the old wooden door, Snape raised his eyebrows and handed Carlos two bags.

"Do you know how to handle daffodil root powder?" Snape asked, looking up from his chair.

"I know, I used to help..." Before Carlos could finish his words, Snape interrupted him: "As long as you know how, you don't need me to waste my time explaining all the nonsense to you."

After that, he didn't care what Carlos wanted to say or what he hadn't finished yet, so he opened the notebook in front of him and picked up the quill to write and draw.

"..." Looking at him like this, Carlos had no choice but to swallow it.

Looking at the pile of narcissus root powder in front of him, Carlos felt deeply depressed.

"What's wrong? You can't do this little thing well?"

The strange voice came again. Carlos looked up and saw Snape looking at him coldly, as if he was going to kill him alive if he said something wrong.

"No problem." Carlos nodded quickly, then picked up a small stone mill and started tinkering.

Making narcissus root into powder is a very mechanical process that just requires constant stirring, but because of this, the process of making narcissus root powder is undoubtedly very boring.

Not only that, if you want to make qualified narcissus root powder, you need to tinker for several minutes. If you don't tinker long enough, there may be particles in the powder.

In fact, the existence of the particles itself did not affect the potion production very much, but Carlos knew just by looking at Snape's appearance... If he did anything slightly wrong, he would definitely put on small shoes for himself.

Especially after Harry and Ron told Carlos what happened in class, Carlos completely understood who the professor in front of him who didn't wash his hair all year round was.

His mind is probably as big as a Billywig's claw...

Carlos muttered and fiddled with it, but after just making a dozen copies, he felt that his wrist was very sore.

No... this definitely won't work... keep tinkering like this... Carlos looked up at the time and saw that it was already close to 09:30. If it continued at this speed, it might not be completed until the early morning...

I still want to go back to the dormitory and lie in bed to study the recipes... Even with the "top secret" translation document, Carlos has only completed one-tenth of the translation in the past two weeks.

"Ahem." A cough came, and Carlos had to wave his wrist again to continue the mechanical operation after he stopped thinking about it.

This definitely won't work... Carlos raised his head and glanced at Snape. His calm look seemed to be telling Carlos: Don't even think about leaving if you can't finish the 150 copies today!

It seems that I have to think of something!

The first thing Carlos thought of was to call someone, because there was a Niffler and a Salamander in the recipe he had tied around his waist.

Well, Luo Lizard is not in his sleeve at this time, mainly because Carlos is afraid that Professor Snape will deliberately find trouble... But now it seems that he is overthinking, maybe without Luo Lizard, he will also find trouble... …

"If you don't work hard, do ten more." Sure enough, the deep voice came, and more narcissus roots arrived.

It seems that the only thing I can do is ask for help...

Carlos nodded slightly, then cleared his throat and asked, "Professor Snape, can I ask someone to help me?"

"Help you deal with it together?" Snape immediately shook his head: "You can't find anyone to help you."

"Anyone?"

"Anyone," Snape repeated before tossing Carlos another bunch of narcissus roots, obviously as punishment for talking too much.

What is this called!

Carlos shook his head and took off the cooking manual from his waist, then gently raised his wand and said: "Sniff, come on!"

As a result, under Snape's shocked eyes, Mane emerged from the recipe and was held in Carlos's hand.

"I want to remind you, Mr. Emmanuel." Snape frowned and said, "This is not a Muggle zoo."

"Don't worry, Professor, Mane is here to help me." With that said, Carlos took another stone grinder from the table and placed it in front of Mane.

"What are you going to do?" Snape frowned and said, "Are you going to let a Niffler make Narcissus Root Powder?"

"Of course, Professor." Carlos nodded, and then began to teach Mane with hand movements: "Didn't you say that people can't do it?"

"The magical beasts must be fine, right?"

Carlos said, and Mane began his own stirring journey.

"There's a problem." Snape frowned and put down his quill: "You can only do it yourself."

"No, no, no, no..." Carlos shook his head quickly: "Professor Snape, I can't finish it today by myself."

"But it will be much faster with Mane's help."

"Much faster?" Snape said coldly: "Do you want me to tell my students that his potion ingredients were made by a Niffler?"

"Yes, why not?" Carlos said incomprehensively: "Magical animals themselves are also very smart!"

"And some magical animals can still go to school."

"..." Snape frowned: "I'm not here to chat with you. In any case, not magical animals."

Carlos became unhappy after hearing Snape's words. Don't you think you are bullying others?

"Is the wand okay?"

"No."

"machine?"

"No."

"Call someone?"

"I just said no."

Looking at Snape who kept refusing, Carlos was completely speechless. You just want to torture me with your feelings, right?

In this case, I quit!

Carlos is not a fool. If he keeps doing this, he probably won't be able to solve it until tomorrow night.

"Why are you standing there?" Snape looked at Carlos and said unhappily, "Do you want more?"

"Humph!" Carlos shook his head and then stood up and said, "Professor Snape, you are maliciously punishing students with corporal punishment. I will tell Principal Dumbledore!"

Yes, the school rules of Hogwarts clearly stipulate that students cannot be maliciously punished with corporal punishment!

Even if students were prevented from using wands to complete work, those tasks would not last more than ten hours like processing narcissus root powder. Even if Snape would definitely let him leave in the end, Carlos couldn't stand it!

This takes up valuable studying (learning to cook) time!

"Ha." Snape was amused by Carlos's words. He shook his head and said, "Hogwarts has never had this school rule."

"Is that possible?" Carlos immediately shook his head: "The first rule is: it is forbidden to enter the Forbidden Forest, the second rule is: it is forbidden to use the wand to interfere with class..."

"I memorized it all!"

"That's just right, Mr. Emmanuel, please repeat it."

"What is Rule No. 19?"

"You can't... disobey the professor..." Carlos muttered and lowered his head: "In addition to hurting students, professors can use mild corporal punishment..."

"This is not mild corporal punishment!"

"Of course," Snape said, "For wizards, it is indeed mild corporal punishment."

"But I can't use a wand," Carlos retorted.

Snape nodded when he saw this: "Okay, Mr. Emmanuel, you can use your wand, but please think carefully... what spells do you know that can help you make narcissus?" Root powder?”
