[hp] warm as jade

At 05:30, Rong Jiu was still sitting in the common room, holding her "Encyclopedia of Potion Ingredients" and reading it with gusto. This incident was not uncommonly complained by Draco—it was so much fun to read the textbook People who have read novels are simply psychopaths, no wonder they like professors.Of course, every time he finished talking, there was always a little bit of bad luck.

"Hey, why are you still here?" Pansy looked incredible, "Aren't you going to the professor's office later?"

Rong Jiu looked at the time and said helplessly, "It's only 05:30, how about I walk there for a few minutes?"

"Shouldn't you go get dressed up? Eh? Take a shower, change into a beautiful dress, put on makeup, spray some perfume, and have a nice hairdo?" Pansy exclaimed, as if Rong Jiu What an incredible thing happened.

"Hey, Pansy, let me tell you, are you serious?" Blaise laughed, "Isn't it just a normal way to make up a lesson, so you have to be so nervous?"

"Hey, you don't know, actually..."

Rong Jiu quickly covered Panxi's mouth with quick hands, and followed her words with a smirk: "Actually, what she means is that it's been a long time since I've seen you. If I dress up better, maybe the professor can be more gentle, right Panxi?"

Pan Xi's voice escaped from Rong Jiu's fingers with difficulty: "Yes..."

"Why do I feel that you guys are hiding something from us?" Blaise narrowed his eyes and looked at the two suspiciously.

Rong Jiu smiled brighter: "No, no, what can be the matter... Oh, by the way, Pan Xi, I think what you said is very reasonable, let's go up and take a shower." As he spoke, he dragged Pan Xi Disappeared in the common room.

"There must be ghosts." Blaise stroked his chin and looked at Draco next to him, "Do you know?"

Draco flaunted: "Of course, they will never hide their affairs from me."

"Looking at your expression, you definitely won't tell us?" Blaise fell down on the sofa, "It's boring."

Draco laughed out loud.

Theodore sat on the side, looked at the place where the two girls disappeared, and then at Draco, lowered his eyes, without saying a word, but quietly clenched his hands into fists.

Probably the most convenient thing about magic is that if you don't pursue physical enjoyment, such as the comfort and coziness of soaking in water, then you can easily take care of yourself as you want.So 10 minutes later, when Rong Jiu stood at the door of the potion office, it was completely different from the casual appearance on the sofa just now.

Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, the door opened itself from the inside, and Rong Jiu took a big step back in shock.The one who came out of it was the Igor Karkarov she had seen a few days ago. Seeing her, he suddenly stopped in his footsteps and was obviously taken aback, but in a blink of an eye his face was full of resentment. With a snort, he strode away.

Rong Jiu watched him leave in a daze, then turned around in a daze.

Why does she have the illusion of catching rape in bed?

With his back to her, Snape was standing in front of the desk, with white smoke billowing from it, as if he didn't know she was here.Rong Jiu struggled for a few seconds, feeling that his cheeks were about to heat up again: "Well... good evening, professor."

Snape said without looking back, "Come here."

When Rong Jiu walked over, he found that he was brewing potion, and the light brown potion was bubbling and bubbling in the crucible.

Snape's eyes were fixed on the cauldron, not daring to relax for a moment. For a potion master like him, if a potion that must be treated with caution failed, it would not be a simple "clean it up" can solve everything.

"The materials over there are all processed, and the process is on paper." He said shortly, while carefully dripping another drop of mouse bile into it.

Rong Jiu glanced at the piece of paper on which the production process was written, and suddenly felt a sense of dizziness—at least dozens of steps were written on it in small and dense characters, and it seemed that this was not all of them, because there were still scattered on the side. There are several similar pieces of paper with numbers on them, and this is the last one.

Snape reminded, "The one below."

Only then did Rong Jiu notice that there was a piece of paper under it.She pulled it out, browsed briefly, and then counted the remaining materials on the table. With a plan in mind, she took the daisy root and began to chop it carefully.

While cutting, he stared absent-mindedly at the paper on which the process was written.On the edge of the paper marked with "1", the words "Soul-fixing potion" were written hastily, which made her very concerned.

Why did you think of brewing this potion?

Solidifying the soul... Is it the effect she thought?The medicines for the soul, or some of the medicinal materials themselves have such effects, but according to the records of the Rong family, these rare herbs have never been seen since the Song Dynasty, and they all use physical means to solve the instability of the soul.Now there are only ten pills left by Mr. Rong to nourish the soul, which were handed down from the Tang Dynasty.Mr. Rong said it was because it was too precious, and he was not allowed to touch it until it was a critical moment, but Rong Jiu felt that he was not allowed to touch it because he didn’t know if it would cause any problems if he ate it for so long—if it was a critical moment, anyway They are all going to die, and it doesn't matter how they die.

In this kind of cranky thinking, all the materials at hand have been processed.But she didn't seem to realize it herself, holding a knife and staring blankly at the few process formulas, trying to decipher them with the knowledge she has learned, but this is really a very difficult thing, because many words she do not know……

The potion in front of Snape's eyes had turned crimson, like a pot of ketchup being boiled, and he was relieved, knowing that as long as the heat didn't go wrong, the potion would be ready, so he also took the time to spare to another person in the office.But the other person was unaware of this, holding a knife and staring at those process papers with wide eyes, as if they had some deep hatred.

Snape's scolding came to his lips, but was blocked by the red tips of his ears - don't get me wrong, he just thought it was funny, and it's hard for a person who wants to laugh to swear seriously.So he didn't make a sound at all, stretched out his hand and took the knife away from Rong Jiu's hand.The latter was startled at first, and looked at his empty hand in confusion, as if he was thinking about what he was holding before.After maintaining it for three seconds, I finally came back to my senses: "Professor! Uh... is that okay?"

Wait, what she saw before was obviously brown, why did it turn red?

Rong Jiu's eyes lit up.

The fun thing about potions, she thinks, is that you never know what color it will turn into, because it has nothing to do with the ingredients you use.It was still blue in the last second, and you only need to stir it a few times to turn it into pink.At this time, she was very happy, as if she had found a candy child.Of course, others thought that she was happy because the potion was successfully brewed. If they knew this was the reason, they would probably throw a crucible over it.

Snape raised an eyebrow: "Interested in it?"

Rong Jiu's voice rose at least an octave: "En!"

"Know what it is?"

"I see the words 'soul-fixing potion' written on it." Rong Jiu said, "Is it used to stabilize the soul? But there doesn't seem to be any special materials in it, all of which we have come into contact with."

Snape frowned: "Special material?"

"Uh, that is, materials for the soul..." Rong Jiu belatedly realized that he and the professor were alone in the office, and they were still very close. One color up.

"That's a Muggle idea, so stupid." Snape glanced at her and turned his head away, "Every material we use is meaningless to Muggles, but they can Play a role in our hands that they can't even think of in a lifetime. If you have ever attended a class, you should remember what I once said...to increase prestige, brew glory, and even prevent death."

After a pause, he added: "This potion is not aimed at the soul, and its name is not accurate."

Rong Jiu:? ? ?

It's not aimed at the soul, so isn't what your old man said just now all nonsense?

Snape took out another cauldron from nowhere, and there was a piece of parchment in it, and put them together in front of her: "The palliative, the method is on the paper."

"Eh?" Rong Jiu was stunned for a moment.She has read about the palliative agent in books, and it often appears in OWLs exams, but why is she asked to do this?

"Problem?" Snape asked impatiently.

This tone usually means that if you are disobedient again, he will let you know what madness is in the next second, which can make all students feel terrified.Of course, Rong Jiu didn't really care about it after being foolish and bold for a long time, but recently she was rather timid, so she quickly and obediently set up the crucible, ready to start processing the materials.

But compared to her previous methods, she seems much more cramped now.Finally, as she awkwardly handled the moonstone, Snape spoke, in one of his rare, stern tones (of course, he usually spoke with sarcasm or disdain):" Maybe you're making me regret my decision?"

He stood up and stared condescendingly at Rong Jiu, who lowered his head: "I thought you understood how dangerous this road is. What can save you is not only your little cleverness, but also your personal strength. What you are doing now is no different from courting death. How much did you listen to what I said in today's class? Can you complete the production of potions without relying on the previous foundation? And how long will this last for you? Yes, I can fully support it You're graduating, but your goal is only to graduate from Hogwarts?"

"Perhaps you still remember what you said once? Dumbledore told you everything, so you are shouldering more than your own life and death. If you are not strong enough to resist at all, it is not just you, the Malfoy family, And I will all die because of you."

"Since you choose to be responsible, you should understand this kind of thing in the first grade." He had already walked around the desk and walked in front of Rong Jiu, his voice was lowered, but it was more oppressive, "If you want Standing by my side, you have no choice but to become stronger. Your future opponent is not your peers, but someone who is much stronger and crueler."

Rong Jiu didn't say anything, but her body trembled slightly.

"I hope I can see your answer when I come back."

The office door opened, then closed again.Soon, only Rong Jiu was left in this office.

The author has something to say:

A little out of rhythm, didn't sleep well all night, and kept thinking about what it was like for them to be alone for the first time.To be honest, I thought of a lot of very sweet plots, but none of them are suitable, because there is no love between them... oh, the professor has no love for Xiaojiu, for him, he is just out of emotion or any kind It wasn't because of love that he agreed to her. After all, this girl had stood in front of him once, and he knew Xiao Jiu quite well. If he didn't agree to her and let her wander alone, he would really take her life. Yes, it's better to put it under your nose than to do this.But Xiao Jiu is not, she really likes him, I think it's quite normal to lose her sense of proportion because she likes someone.The professor didn't have so much romance in his heart, he just hoped that Xiao Jiu would survive.Of course, the stronger she is, the more likely she is to survive.

So after thinking about it for a long time, I feel that this is still more likely. The spark must be wiped out slowly, and the professor must be turned slowly.Scold me QAQ
