In the afternoon, on the ground floor of Hogwarts, in the Potions classroom.
Looking at the materials Rossi put on the table, Snape's mouth twitched:
"Do you know how to make potions? No matter what kind of potion it is, if you use the crest feathers of the Silent Bird, you always take the very tip. If you just pluck the whole thing out, what will the Silent Bird do in the future? Courting?"
Well...it doesn't need to court a mate, this life is over.
Muttering silently in his heart, Rossi said without raising his eyelids:
"We are competing! What? You still want me to handle the materials for you?"
After staring at her face with his dark eyes for a few seconds, Snape snorted and turned to collect the materials on the table.
Packing, cleaning, collecting, grinding.
Movements are fluent and organized.
As each step was completed accurately, a confident arc appeared on his face.
Half an hour later.
When he poured the scarlet liquid filtered with sediment into the glass bottle, Rossi, who smelled the obvious smell of blood, couldn't help but have a series of questions in his mind.
The smell of blood?
Obviously none of the ingredients are related to blood, but it turned out to be like this?
I guess you got this formula from a vampire!
Holding the flask with his long and white fingers and shaking it, Snape suddenly looked back:
"My potion configuration is successful, it's your turn!"
While he was speaking, the system prompts also sounded:
"Ding! The adventure mission, the strange potion with unknown purpose has been completed. Bring it to Armando Dippet, you may have another adventure."
Any other adventures?
Is this still a series of tasks?
There is no reward for this task, because the reward will be given at the end of the chain of tasks?
Rossi murmured silently, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought it was possible.
"Hey! It's your turn!"
Snape shouted dissatisfied, "Let me see if you are really talented, or if you just talk!"
"Of course I am gifted!"
Rossi raised his eyebrows, "But how do I know whether your potion is successful or not? If the direction of a road is wrong, how can it lead to the end?"
Hearing her question, Snape instantly blushed:
"The color, taste, and smell of this potion all indicate its success. You actually doubt whether it was brewed successfully. Do you even understand potion science?!!"
"The key to identifying the quality of a bottle of potion lies in its use, just looking at it with the naked eye, hum..."
He turned away pretending to be disdainful, "In this world, there are countless flashy things, but those who are the same on the outside are as rare as morning stars."
Without waiting for Snape, whose chest was rising rapidly, to speak, Rossi continued:
"Do you dare to bring it to Principal Dippet for identification? Or just give Lily to me?"
Worried that mentioning the principal rashly would make him react, Rossi deliberately mentioned Evans again.
As expected, Snape, who was touched by the reverse scale, did not think at all and said hurriedly:
"What are you afraid of! Let's go now!"
As he spoke, he picked up the flask filled with scarlet liquid and walked out of the classroom.
With a victorious smile on her lips, Rossi followed Snape out of the Potions classroom with a relaxed pace.
In a short time, the two of them arrived under the tower of the principal's office at Hogwarts.
Unlike the sweet-sounding passwords used by Dumbledore after he became the principal, the passwords Dippet used were more natural.
After Snape shouted the word "sea water", the stone monster guarding under the tower jumped backwards and to the side.
Along the spiral staircase, the two quickly arrived at the door of the office.
Duh duh duh!
Seeing Snape's hesitation, Rossi raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door.
"Please come in!"
The voice inside the door sounded weak.
Pushing the door open, I saw Dippet, who was half lying on the sofa, trying to get up.
His face was a little pale, and he looked not in good spirits. He was completely different from the one he saw when the camp opened a few weeks ago.
what happened? He looked like he was dying.
Looking at Dippet's appearance, Rossi couldn't help but feel a little startled.
When Ditpe, who was struggling to get up, saw Rossi next to Snape, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said:
"Isn't this Miss Rossi? Why do you have time to see me, an old man, today?"
"Principal Dippet, what's wrong with you?"
Stepping forward quickly and supporting Dippet, who was standing tremblingly, Rossi couldn't help but ask, "When I saw you before, you were fine. How come we haven't seen you in just a few weeks..."
She didn't say the next words, but Dippet understood what she meant:
"I met with the leader of the disciplinary agency and the president of the World Federation of Wizards a few days ago. I was accidentally injured during the fight. Well... it's not a big problem, it's just that the principal of Hogwarts, I I’m afraid it’s the end.”
Fighting?
The head of the disciplinary agency was fighting with the president of the World Federation of Wizards?
Is this the end of his tenure as Headmaster of Hogwarts?
Is this Dumbledore going to be the headmaster alone?
The amount of information is quite large!
Rosie's thoughts suddenly began to flood.
Snape on the side, after hearing his words, couldn't help but asked with concern:
"Why? Okay, why can't you continue to be the principal?"
Dippet looked at Snape with a kind expression and explained softly:
"Although they both pursue peace, the ideals of the disciplinary agency and the World Wizards Federation are too conflicting after all. This battle between their leaders has completely torn away the camouflage on the surface. Alas...
In such a general environment, if Hogwarts wants to maintain absolute neutrality, it must have a powerful wizard to resist the pressure from the two camps. "
"And that person is not me. My greatest advantage is that I have self-awareness."
He looked at the portrait hanging on the wall with a bleak look, and smiled to himself, "As usual, I have already submitted a notice to the Ministry of Magic, and I am just waiting for them to send someone to watch the ceremony. The position of the principal will be handed over to all the pressure from the outside world. Leave it to Dumbledore!"
notify? Watch the ceremony?
Noticing Dippet's wording, Rosie couldn't help but feel a little confused. In her memory, the appointment of the Hogwarts principal required approval from the Ministry of Magic, but Dippet said it was a notification?
It seems that Dumbledore also compromised a lot with the Ministry of Magic after becoming the headmaster!
With a thought in her mind, she turned the topic back to the mission:
"Principal Dippet, actually, I came here this time to bring you memory reappearance potion with little Snape. Well, little Snape's potion talent is indeed very good!"
Snape looked at Rossi with wide eyes, his astonished expression seemed to say: Aren't you here to let the principal identify this potion? Why are you now claiming that it is a successful magic potion?
Ignoring his astonishment, Rossi smiled at him and said in an evasive manner: "Hurry up and take out the potion to restore memories. Looking at your surprised look, you don't really think that I want to steal your heart." Love it?"
Hearing this, Snape immediately blushed at the phrase "beloved in his heart". Blushingly, he took out the bottle of potion from his arms and handed it to Dippet.
The moment Dippet, who was being supported by Rosie, saw the potion, his eyes were fixed on it and he didn't notice the interaction between them at all.
