At one o'clock in the morning, Noah walked through the dimly lit corridor.
Dementors wandered outside the windows, more ghostly than ghosts. The ghosts in the school are obviously less active and are still afraid of those rotten things.
Probably only Peeves is unaffected by them and still plays pranks in the castle.
But since it lacks mischief at night, it can only stay in a corner boredly, planning how to play tricks on the little wizards when they wake up.
The entire castle seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and at the same time, a sense of coldness filled the outer corridors of the castle.
It was a rare clear night tonight. The huge moon hung high in the sky, but the moonlight was not bright. The Dementors, who had endured the uncomfortable moonlight for several days, found it difficult to feel comfortable. They were no longer limited to the castle and the Forbidden Forest where the moonlight was rarely seen. It is floating above the courtyard openly.
Noah's eyes only stayed on them for a moment, and then quickly moved away without interest.
I'm a little sleepy, so let's go and have a rest.
…
The next night Noah came to Keppel's shop again.
The two people who had been waiting for a long time were looking forward to what kind of magic props he would bring.
In the end, Noah just placed a small hourglass on the table. The white gravel in the hourglass was inverted to the lower end and piled steadily into the shape of a sand cone.
Keppel didn't recognize what it was at first, but he could tell that it had an extraordinary origin, because he could vaguely see the brilliant light reflected by these crystal sands under the light.
"What's this?"
"I call it time dust," Noah said casually, "it is also one of the raw materials for the time turner."
Keppel was stunned: "What did you say?"
He had heard about the time turner, but he did not know how to make it, nor did he know the raw materials used to make it. This kind of prop has been tightly controlled by the Ministry of Magic of various countries, and no information has ever been leaked. Even the raw materials are a mystery.
Noah had heard about this. After all, the time turner was only briefly introduced in the book, but it was never told how to make it.
But unfortunately, Noah accidentally learned the materials needed for the time turner, but the purity should not be high, otherwise there would not be so much "grit" left in the time turner.
Keppel wanted to pour out some crystals immediately to study what they were, but Noah had brought the things, and he had to get the owner's permission before he even thought about it.
Fortunately, Noah was also curious about what he could research, so he neatly placed a small glass bottle on the table, which contained the extra time dust.
"These can be studied, and I need you to use the others to make holy artifacts."
Keppel was quite happy, took the small bottle and went to the back, throwing Noah to Wade.
Wade: "..."
"The boss is just too excited." Wade has very complicated feelings about Noah. He rarely communicates with Noah and tries to avoid being alone with Noah. Of course, he also avoids Keppel and Noah staying together for too long. So he was obviously a little nervous when faced with this situation of being left behind, "...Do you want a cup of tea?"
After that he fell silent.
It seemed like every time Noah came he forgot to prepare tea.
Noah didn't intend to stay any longer: "Contact me if you have any questions."…
…
Halloween.
As expected, it was Noah who brewed the Wolfsbane potion, and Professor Snape was only responsible for occasionally coming over to check on the progress.
According to the professor's request, Noah needs to prepare the potion before the beginning of every month, deliver it to Professor Lupine, and watch him drink it.
So on Halloween night, Noah had to find the long-awaited professor in the staff lounge with a pot of potion. But Harry was there too.
Noah glanced at Harry and nodded to Professor Lupine: "Professor, your medicine."
Professor Lupine motioned for him to come in: "Lannister, Severus asked you to help deliver medicine again."
Noah didn't say that he was the one making the medicine now, but he just put the medicine on the table: "Professor Snape asked you to remember to drink the medicine.
"
Professor Lu Ping smiled helplessly: "I know, it's such a big pot again."
This professor naturally knew Professor Snape's malice, but he behaved like a good gentleman, not angry, and accepting everything. It was this attitude that made Professor Snape hate him even more, as if he was the only one who was there. He was unilaterally spreading malice, so he simply left all the preparation of the medicine to Noah, so as not to make him seem to be the only one who was angry every time they met.
Noah didn't know what the professor thought this way. Probably because of the werewolf's characteristics, the professor was quite used to restraining his emotions and making himself harmless and gentle, so Noah couldn't tell what the professor was like. idea.
But there was no doubt that Professor Snape felt that Professor Lupine would hurt him again.
When Harry learned that the person who brewed the potion was Professor Snape, his expression immediately paled. He hesitated to say something, but found that Noah had no intention of leaving and clearly planned to stare at him. After Professor Lupine drank the potion, Noah looked like he was looking at a "murderer". Probably thinking that Professor Snape would add some poison when brewing the potion.
I don’t know what Professor Snape has done to make the protagonists think that he will poison his colleagues.
Professor Snape's most basic ethics as a potions master would not allow him to poison potions, even if he was facing someone he hated.
Professor Lupine seemed to know nothing about Harry's thoughts. He shrugged, picked up the small bottle next to the pot of potion, and smiled at Harry: "Professor Snape kindly brewed a potion for me. I’m not very good at making medicines, and this kind of medicine is very complicated, but it’s a pity that it doesn’t work if I add sugar.”
He said and took a sip, then shuddered at the taste of the potion.
"What is it?" Harry wanted to ask clearly.
Professor Lupine put away the potion pot, stared into his eyes and answered his question: "I've been feeling a little unwell, and this is the only medicine that works. I'm so lucky, I'm with Professor Snape Work. There are not many wizards who can brew this kind of potion."
Noah listened on the sidelines and silently raised the price of wolfsbane potion in his mind.
At the same time, he carefully observed the professor's expression, which was pale and decadent, and still showed no emotion.
"Remember to drink the potion." Noah urged, ignoring Harry's glare.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Lannister. I think this is enough for me to drink until tomorrow." Professor Lupine didn't complain about the pot of potion, even though he didn't actually need so much. But it can be considered a kind of preparedness.
After Noah left, Harry endured it again and again, and finally couldn't hold it anymore: "Professor Snape is very interested in dark magic."
This sentence can be called rash, or it may be a kind of warning that he thinks.
Professor Luping took another sip of the potion and didn't take it too seriously: "Really?"
Make up your mind
