'Great! '
Malfoy almost burst into laughter when he heard this.
'It seems it's not that the potion is too good, but that it's too bad. Just wait, Professor Snape will definitely want him to look good. '
Hermione and Harry were a little worried about Dudley, but they could only leave the classroom due to Snape's intimidation.
When everyone left, only Snape and Dudley were left in the classroom.
To be fair, being alone with Snape was quite stressful, especially in a classroom full of potion materials. It was too torturous.
After a brief silence, Snape took the initiative to speak.
"Have you done this before?"
Snape took out the bottle of perfect scabies treatment potion.
"No." Dudley shook his head: "This is the first time I have brewed this kind of potion."
Dudley was talking about this potion, not making the potion for the first time. This detail was captured keenly by Snape.
"Have you brewed other potions before?"
"That's right." Dudley nodded and answered very honestly: "Slight magic enhancement potion, slowing potion, enhancer, bone spirit, white essence and blood tonic..."
Listening to the names of potions that Dalinar spoke out like the names of dishes, Snape's expression gradually changed from calm to complicated.
"show me."
Snape held out a hand towards Dudley.
Without saying much, Dudley slowly took out potions one by one from his pocket, and the various finished potions were neatly placed in front of Snape.
"Without your guidance, the level is very limited."
Snape picked one up and looked at it closely.
"It's really bad. It's just better than the goblins in the sweet potato patch."
The blunt comment made Dudley choke up.
Although these were all made before I got the data magic, I am still very satisfied with it overall, and I am just being modest when I claim that my level is limited.
Do you understand humility?
As everyone knows, although Snape's face was full of contempt, he was actually quite shocked in his heart.
In terms of potion making skills, he was much worse than Lily and himself.
But in terms of categories, he and Lily together didn't know as many as Dudley did in first grade.
Snape's evaluation criteria were at the end of his and Lily's first year, and Dudley was just starting school now, and his potions were obviously self-taught.
Very talented in potions... or very talented in cooking... just like his mother.
'Only a little worse than Lily. '
Snape was a rare potions master in the entire wizarding world, and he could tell at a glance what Dudley's talents were.
This reminded him of the few times he had been a guest at Evans' house before and tasted Penny's cooking. It tasted really good.
Potions are actually a lot like cooking in a sense.
"Your cooking method is very similar to your mother's," Snape said suddenly.
"You know my mother?" Dudley asked.
Snape's expression was a little unnatural: "We have some friendship, we used to be neighbors."
Because Petunia couldn't go to Hogwarts, she was not very friendly to the wizard friends who visited Lily's house. She even called him a weirdo, saying that their friendship was also because of Lily, and the fifth-year... then After this incident, contact was completely severed.
He didn't expect that Petunia's son could come to Hogwarts and have a very good potion talent. He thought that their family were all born Muggles.
"Are you the Mr. Severus that my mother once spoke of?"
Professors at Hogwarts do not have a custom of introducing themselves. In the first class, they will tell the young wizards my last name. Even Snape would not do this, so the young wizards only know the professors’ names. The surname, as for the specific name, is unknown.
"Talked about me?"
Snape was stunned. Petunia would mention him to Dudley, which he didn't expect.
"Some time before coming to Hogwarts, my mother told me and Harry a lot about the wizarding world, including some people and things about her and Aunt Lily when they were young."
"Actually, she longs for this place and cherishes Aunt Lily's friends."
Petunia had completely untied her knot and told Dudley and Harry a lot of the information she had learned through Lily in order to let Dudley and Harry live their lives at Hogwarts.
Although many of them were from twenty years ago, the wizarding world has not changed much over the years.
Dudley clearly felt that Snape's body trembled slightly when he mentioned Aunt Lily.
Snape suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Dudley with his empty, lifeless eyes, until Dudley felt a little scared.
'I know, Petunia's child must be so good because he inherited Lily's talent. '
In fact, according to science, it can be explained that Dudley inherited Lily's talent, but that involves genetics.
If potion talent is compared to recessive gene X, both Petunia and Lily have this recessive gene This recessive gene X is activated.
Of course, Dudley preferred to think that this was the change brought about by his coming into this world, and it had little to do with genetics.
But it didn't matter what Dudley thought it was, just what Snape thought it was.
He stubbornly believed that Lily was guiding him.
Let's see, he inherited Lily's excellent potions talent, his relationship with Gryffindor and Slytherin as childhood sweethearts, and he and Lily were exactly the same as before. How could there be such a coincidence in the world?
Of course...he's stronger than me.
Professor Snape was relatively thin when he was in school.
What do these wizards say? They don’t believe in science, they believe in fate and prophecy.
Even those as powerful as Voldemort and Dumbledore are very superstitious about fate. Voldemort went to kill the Potter family because of the prophecy, and he was killed as predicted.
Dudley was different from them. He didn't believe in prophecies, he believed in muscles.
"You..." Snape stared at Dudley seriously, dragging out his voice for a long time. Just when Dudley couldn't help but punch him, he continued: "Do you want to learn potions from me? "
Snape actually had the idea to pass on what he had learned throughout his life very early on, but he never found a suitable opportunity.
The pride of being a potion master made him have a very high standard and not an ordinary pick. If he wanted to learn potions from him, he must have at least half of Lily's potion talent, and Lily's potion talent was There is infinity in his heart, and half of infinity is still infinity.
Now he thinks that he got Lily's guidance to say this. If one day he doesn't think so or Dudley refuses or doesn't agree, then there will be no such opportunity again.
And this is just an opportunity. If Dudley is unable to grasp it due to lack of ability, he will still be given up.
There is no such thing as a "once a teacher, always a father" habit of accepting apprentices in the wizarding world.
"Of course it would be an honor, Professor Snape."
