[HP] Spring Mountain is Sleeping

Tom didn't add a levitation spell to the hem of the robe today, and kept it swinging normally.However, when the thin and pale man who was habitually dressed in the traditional black robe walked up to the podium, he easily caught the eyes of most people in the audience.

"Oh, Severus, I can finally see him today, I've never seen him before..." Tom even caught a glimpse of a witch covering her mouth and yelling in a low voice.

"Yeah, he doesn't even come here." The companion beside her said.

"It's rare for him to come..."

"Are you going to ask him for his autograph? He doesn't look that strict."

"That can't be done. This is an academic forum, not a fan club. I can't embarrass our association."

"Are you sure? I don't see any difference where you are."

It was a pointless mess, Tom grumbled inwardly.He knew that people paid more attention to Severus, probably more because of his reputation as "the greatest double agent in modern history" than because of "Britain's youngest potions master".In fact, Severus was not a frequent visitor here. In the past ten years, he had sat in the corner of the back row and listened to the Antequera Forum twice, and he never participated in it, let alone I took the stage to speak.

This was the result of Tom's rehearsal in the cramped bedroom in Spider's End, forcibly lifting the eyelids of the sleeping potions master.This unexpected result made him feel very depressed, maybe he didn't have to fight for the invitation letter, because Severus probably didn't intend to attend.Tom collected himself and began to read his treatise on wand-restoring potions.

This revolutionary invention instantly caught the attention of those focused on academic advancement.Now, probably no one is talking about double agents any more. Tom even saw that several people had already taken out their wands and held back. Maybe they planned to prepare a dose when they got home, trying to make the wands grow like branches, anyway Wand casings are also made of branches.It's a pity that the elasticity of the wand is always good, and no one broke his wand on the spot in order to test the potion.

After reading the thesis, Tom did not forget to thank Pomona Sprout and Quentin Taylor, and the audience applauded.Next is questions and time. Of course, if the speaker wants to add content to the speech, it is completely okay.

After fighting back a nauseous feeling to answer a barrage of dazed witches' nagging questions about "double agents," a man finally turned everyone's attention to the academics.

"Mr. Snape, first of all, please allow me to express my congratulations and admiration for your great invention. But I would like to continue to know, what do you think the potion with the help of plant medicine has room for expansion? Would you like to reveal a little bit about your next plan ?"

"I think that as a whole new field of potions, there is a lot of room for this type of potion to develop. Right now it's just a seedling, waiting to grow into a towering tree. You can't imagine, just in those Adding six-pointed star grass to ordinary healing potions can create as many possibilities as possible. But, sir.” Tom finally talked about the plant potion, and he was waiting for this moment, “Thank you for asking. Of course I I will continue to conduct research on plant-like medicines, but recently I have also become interested in soul potions."

"Soul Potion?" The wizard was stunned for a second, but he immediately realized, "You mean the potion that can control other people's actions?"

"Yes, sir, of course, I'd rather call them soul potions, and control potions sound like the Imperius Curse."

"Mr. Snape, there may be many kinds of forbidden drugs in here." A wizard said loudly.

"Quiet, Retti." The wizard who asked the question turned his head to the source of the voice dissatisfied, "I want to hear your opinion on this, Mr. Snape, I believe your soul has never been affected. pollute."

"There may be many kinds of banned drugs, but they are too difficult for me to research." Tom forced himself to pull out Severus' smirk, and shrugged, and there was a burst of laughter below.

"About the forbidden drug thing," Tom went on, "I think like there's the Unforgivable Curse, and while Soul Potions are nothing more than Veritaserum at the moment, maybe there will be Unforgivable Potions in the future. But, ma'am Gentlemen, we can look at this from another side. If this type of drug is used properly, maybe it can change people's behavior immediately. Like in the previous years, you know, there are so many food The Dead Apostles - including me once - followed the Dark Lord to do those pointless and outrageous things, if we had the soul potion back then - if Tom Riddle had had the chance to use it when he was young Soul potion, change his strange thoughts, maybe World War II will not happen."

The audience fell into a thoughtful silence. Several people seemed to want to ask questions, but seeing that everyone was quiet, they were too embarrassed to speak.

"Imagine, in the best case, maybe it can change everyone, so that wizards and Muggles will no longer be hostile to each other, so that war will never happen again, because no one will choose war as a means of solving problems." Tom felt that he had regained the state of the Dark Lord, "Of course it's difficult, it's really difficult, and I can't even predict any progress. But whoever can invent such a potion, thanks to Merlin, that person must be the most powerful person in the world." Great Apothecary, for thus he brought the world into perpetual peace. Love, and peace - the most precious things in our world, worth any price."
