After a period of waiting, Luke finally saw a finished product.
The fluorescent green potion left Luke with no appetite at all. But looking at the expression on his face, the serious and expectant Snape, he felt like he couldn't say anything more.
"I have to tell you in advance, Luke." Snape looked at Luke and said with a serious face, "The amount of medicinal materials I have here is indeed limited. You can still get things like Phoenix Tears, but other medicinal materials It's really a rare thing. If Dumbledore hadn't said that he would give me an extra batch of funds to purchase separately, and if this little girl Taylor wanted to tie you up... I wouldn't have used these medicinal materials for you. of."
Some medicinal materials cannot be bought with money. Luke is indeed very rich and well-established now. But if he is buying medicinal materials, he may go through many detours and may not be able to buy them.
Apart from anything else, Phoenix Tears, Phoenix Nirvana Ashes, etc., apart from Hogwarts occasionally producing this medicinal material, I have never heard of it being produced anywhere else.
After all, apart from the Dumbledore family, no one can restrain a phoenix by their side.
Snape looked at Luke seriously, and Luke naturally knew what this guy meant...
"Okay, Professor, but I want to make sure that there is no problem with the effect of this thing, right?"
Although he asked this question, Luke's hand was already stretched out. Such a question actually sounds more like a joke. Luke also didn't think Snape would trick him on something like this.
After handing the potion to Luke, Snape smiled slyly and said: "In terms of effect, there is indeed a problem."
Luke was just about to raise his head and drink the potion that was like nuclear wastewater in one gulp. After all, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain for this kind of thing.
"So, Professor, what's the problem?"
Luke asked with a somewhat uneasy expression.
Seeing his expression like this did not make Snape feel happy at all. Instead, he put away the sly smile before and put on a slightly annoyed expression.
After seeing his expression, Luke curled his lips slightly, and then drank the contents of the bottle in one gulp.
Sour, astringent, and slightly smelly. Luke's expression became a little stiff, but he still endured it.
"It tastes good, Professor."
Luke had a smile on his face and looked very reserved.
Snape looked at him coldly and then snorted.
Luke would be timid about Snape tampering with the potion. Such behavior is clearly mocking Snape. In fact, the reaction he wanted from Luke was the feeling of being faced with a powerful enemy, rather than the cowardice that was obviously fake and couldn't be fake anymore.
However, the sarcasm at the end was indeed true.
"What effect does it have, Professor?"
Luke stretched, looked at his hands and feet, and asked with some confusion.
Although Snape didn't want to pay attention to this guy, after all, this matter was ordered by Dumbledore. Even if he had various reluctances, he had to explain the effects of his potion clearly.
Otherwise, if Luke blames him for his headaches and fevers, he will suffer a big loss.
"In addition to the original medicinal materials that can help you digest the remaining magic power, I have added some medicinal materials that can further exert the power of the medicine and promote your development."
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Snape spoke with an air as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
Luke raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "Then this is a great thing! Thank you, professor! Thank you, professor!"
As he spoke, he extended his hand to shake Snape's hand.
Snape threw Luke away in disgust, then pointed to the door of the office: "Get out!"
Luke smiled and made an OK gesture, then walked out of the classroom.
Wait until the door is closed.
Snape looked at the closed door, all the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a sly smile.
"A great thing? It's indeed a great thing!"
"Click."
Luke closed the door gently. He frowned and looked at the ancient door. Although the expression on his face could not be said to be solemn, it was definitely puzzling.
"Snape, where did you tamper with this?"
He wouldn't believe that he could get rid of Snape by just showing weakness and pretending to be affectionate. If it were anyone else, even Professor Flitwick, he felt that he could easily deal with it. But Snape was different. He is different from most of the resident teachers in the school.
Snape was once a typical dark wizard, and this does not change when he changes his ways.
What's more, there is no telling whether he has really reformed.
Luke knew very well that Snape was not a good person at all. Apart from the awakening of his own consciousness, the biggest reason why he betrayed the Dark Lord was the death of 'Lily Potter'.
Once Lily Potter died, he was willing to kill those Death Eaters and Voldemort and bury Lily with her. If he can't do it himself, find someone who can do it to help him.
He is not righteous at all. He just hates the Death Eaters more than the Order of the Phoenix now.
Therefore, his methods are more like a dark wizard than those of decent professors.
So what else is there in this bottle of potion? Luke doesn't know.
He is neither a god nor a magician genius. Take a taste or take a look and you will know what the formula of the potion is, or you can see what kind of effect it has. This was simply a fantasy to him.
Thinking of this, Luke still shook his head silently.
Indeed, it was useless for him to think about anything now. The side effects of the medicine will certainly not be serious. But relatively speaking, it's enough to cause Luke some trouble.
Luke left here in silence.
………………
There was a knock on the door. Looking at the letter in his hand, Dumbledore lowered his head with a distressed look on his face and said helplessly: "Please come in!"
Luke pushed the door open and said, "Professor, I'm here to borrow the fireplace. I have to go home."
In fact, he did think about whether to live here.
But this is inconsistent with the school rules. No students have formally raised it. Luke thought seriously about whether to set this precedent. Finally chose to give up.
After all, the number of teachers in the school is not small. Luke himself wasn't sure he would be too noticeable if a student stayed here.
If there are a bunch of students, the energy of the professors will be stretched. But as a student...being in the spotlight is a good thing, but not entirely.
Luke really didn't want Dumbledore to know some of his little secrets.
What's more, Salazar Slytherin's notebook is still at home. He needed to compare Gryffindor's notebook with Slytherin's notebook to see if he could find any clues about Gryffindor's heritage.
"Are you here? Don't rush back. Let me show you something."
After Dumbledore saw that the person coming was Luke, the distress on his face softened a little, and he greeted Luke warmly.
Luke looked at the piece of paper in his hand and instinctively sensed something was wrong.
"Is there something else? Isn't it a small matter?"
Luke had a mask of pain on his face.
"Professor, don't, really don't. I just want to have a good summer vacation. Even if I can't have a good summer vacation, give me some time to rest. I still have to meet those 'elders' later... … It’s a tough battle.”
Although Luke didn't know when the other party would issue an invitation to him. But I think it shouldn't be too late.
This is a real tough battle. If Luke can't handle this matter well, then he, who is still in the developmental stage, will face the enemy of the whole world.
By then, both the Lance family and the Kane family will be completely unreliable. He wasn't even sure whether Gemma or Hermione would stay away from him because of the massacre.
Although it is unlikely, it is not completely impossible.
In other words, if you can't pass this level, then all your efforts will be wasted, and you may even lose your life.
"Take a look, maybe you'll be interested."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's mask of pain, which was similar to his own just now, and the smile on his face finally became a little more happy. He should have called Luke earlier.
As long as you see that the person involved is more worried than yourself, then your own pain will seem less painful!
Luke took the letter, glanced at it, and raised his eyebrows.
Dumbledore thought he was going to say something. But he was surprised to find that Luke's expression became quite serious. After reading the entire letter carefully, Luke frowned and fell into thinking.
When Dumbledore saw this, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
"You don't really want to go, do you? I think it's better for us to decline."
What happened in France is not just like yesterday, but just yesterday.
People forget the pain when their scars are healed, but Luke can't forget the pain even though his scar is healed, right?
"I have to remind you in advance that although France is the place where Grindelwald did great things, in fact, the Saints are far more powerful in the United States than in Europe."
Dumbledore frowned and added seriously after seeing that his last sentence did not have much impact on Luke.
"So, if we go to the United States, what will happen may be much more serious than the innocuous things that happened in France."
"Burn New York? It doesn't matter. It's just a new way to destroy New York."
Luke expressionlessly made a joke that Dumbledore didn't understand at all. But the way Dumbledore looked at him knew that the boy in front of him must have other plans.
So he shook his head and looked at the mountain of documents on the table.
As soon as he came back, it was Minerva's turn to mess around and take advantage of the situation. After meeting Luke this morning, Professor McGonagall disappeared. All the documents were packed in a long-legged filing cabinet and delivered to Dumbledore's office.
Dumbledore looked at this pile of things with extremely uncomfortable eyes at first. He really didn't want to see these things. When I was young, I thought these jobs were very important. It is related to the operation of the entire school.
As the principal's working age increases, he gradually understands that it doesn't matter if these things are essentially ignored.
With or without them, the castle would run on its own. Changing some furniture, approving some research funds and other things have nothing to do with the future of the school.
Hogwarts is already the largest wizarding school in the UK. After all, there are really no competitors.
A school with no competitors. What kind of roll are you doing?
"Professor, is everything here credible?"
Luke's words interrupted Dumbledore's random thoughts.
Dumbledore didn't even look at the letter that Luke placed in front of him, and then said: "I know this little guy Ai Gilbert. He is only thirty or forty years old this year. He is very capable and has his own educational philosophy. Regarding the part about snake wood, I don’t doubt that he is lying. As for the part about inheritance rights, I think you can find something related when you go home. If you can’t find it in your cabin, then go to the old house. Let’s look for it.”
Luke glanced up at Dumbledore when he mentioned the cabin. But I didn't find any strange expression on Dumbledore. He already seemed less curious about Luke's cabin.
Luke didn't mention it much, just nodded and said: "Go and find me. I hope you don't get sold by the last three losers."
Dumbledore recalled the virtues of the last three Gunters and shook his head calmly.
"Then I think you'd better pray that these things are in your cabin."
Luke was a little embarrassed and didn't know Marvolo Gunter or these three guys. What is the final virtue that would make Dumbledore say such a thing?
"But I still say that, Luke, this time is very dangerous."
Dumbledore looked at Luke, straightened his tall body, and said with a serious face: "It may be difficult to guarantee your safety."
"Unless you promise me, this time, you will always stay with me."
After hearing Dumbledore's words, Luke nodded seriously at first, and then said with a strange expression: "But, Professor, you are the one who left me alone in France."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's disgusted eyes and was speechless for a moment.
"I think you can still handle the troubles in France. But here in the United States..."
He couldn't even tell how strong the Saints were there.
"Don't worry, Professor, I'm confident."
Luke took a deep breath. Of course he knew the importance of strength. This time he went home just to improve his strength.
Looking at Luke's serious face, Dumbledore nodded, then smiled.
"But compared to France, we also have friends in the United States."
Dumbledore said to Luke: "I remember that you are also very interested in magical animals, so maybe you will have a good chat."
Hearing this, Luke seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up.
Because a name appeared in his mind.
