Chapter 269 When The Pursuit Is On...

Assistant, assistant!

Besides, are you the teaching assistant for Demon King Snape's potion class?

The Weasley twins, as if petrified, slowly turned their heads to look at Elena in disbelief. In a trance, Elena even seemed to hear a clicking sound.

"Yes, I am a teaching assistant!"

Elena nodded solemnly, holding the lily bulb in her hands and encircling the two silly deer statues in front of her. Consciously, she walked to her seat and carefully placed the potted plant on the right side of the table, a spot that Professor Snape could see from any angle.

According to the research results from the "Snape Exploration Group" day and night, the odds of bringing unrelated items into the underground classroom to provoke questions from Professor Snape are very high. As a senior underground potions master, obsessive-compulsive disorder and insight are simply occupational diseases that penetrate the bone marrow.

In short, Snape won't be able to avoid coming to seek the difference.

But before that, she still needs to pass the "simple examination" in Snape's eyes.

Before Elena could fully sit down, Snape's voice slowly faded.

"Miss Caslana, first question. Tell me... what are the materials needed to make the slimming potion?"

Slimming potion?

Wasn't that what I just said in the last lesson, what is...

The Weasley brothers looked at each other, lowered their heads in unison, and were about to start flipping through the book.

"Cut daisy roots, peeled dwarf figs, thinly sliced worms, a drop of rat bile, and a little leech juice," Elena quickly responded without hesitation.

"So, how is the success of the slimming potion judged?"

"Judging by the color, it should show a bright and shiny acid green. As for the medicine's effect, a qualified slimming potion will produce a full range of physiological withdrawal."

"How should the dose of bile be controlled?"

"Rubber pipette, and then slightly twist the wrist when dropping, to avoid continuous drops."

"After adding all the ingredients, what is the last step before bottling?"

"Stir the Wenhuo for a while until the color of the potion no longer changes."

Confronted with Snape's question, Elena has not fully withdrawn from the bullying mode against Hermione. Elena feels no pressure, and the question-and-answer between the two shows a seamless connection.

All the young wizards in the classroom instinctively held their breath nervously, watching the response to the never-before-seen magical potion, as if they were witnessing a century-old confrontation: in their impression, no student has ever managed to complete consecutive questions from Professor Snape.

"...So, the last question."

Snape gasped and silently looked at Elena, his eyes fluttering around the girl.

"Miss Caslana, can you tell me how that ridiculous white plant can assist in the upcoming class?"

As expected...

Elena's eyes, which had been waiting, lit up, and her lips curved to show a smile.

Now that this question has been formulated, it means that the link on the task's research is over, and the arrogant Professor Snape has started to try to use external factors to try to restore his dignity, which means when he fights the battle of wits.

"This is a lily, a gift from Professor Sprout. I heard that it can bring luck to people who are close to it. So, I brought it to the potion class and wanted it to accompany us to class together."

Elena tilted her head quite tenderly, an appropriate innocence appeared on her face, and said seriously.

Although Professor Snape's pursuit is a bit cruel, compared with the ancient horseradish that purely used Snape as a utility person, Elena thinks that her initiative to seek the favor of the professor is actually quite fair.

Indeed, this line has been carefully examined by Elena in advance for a long time.

Other more comforting words, such as: "I'm worried that a lily in the bathroom that just played with a broom will bump into Lily if I am not careful," "Professor, I want to introduce you to Lily"... Elena chose not to use these words that were almost equivalent to the Heartbreaker's effect.

After all, her purpose is simply to gain a little favor, and it would be too much to directly use the grand gesture and fill the production.

"Lily?"

Snape's eyes sharply contracted, and he pressed his left hand against the edge of the lectern to grip it firmly. After a slight trance, he realized that Elena's mouth must have referred to the white bulb plant on his desk.

Undoubtedly, this was just a coincidence, and Snape knew it well.

Unless he personally recounts the past, no one will know the failed emotional history of the thin boy with black hair and black pupils: he has done well to bring all the memories of Lily Evans to the awareness of the grave.

"Unfortunately, the Potion is never based on illusory luck."

Snape calmed down a bit and growled, trying to avert his eyes from the cursed lily.

"Don't try to attribute your failures and foolishness to a plant that doesn't speak, even if I deduct points, I deduct them from your admirers. Of course, if you insist that your success comes from its blessings, it's your freedom..."

"Wait, what are you doing?!"

Snape's countenance changed, and he subconsciously raised his voice, stopping.

Seeing Elena pensive for a moment, then nodded vigorously, decisively holding the lily bulb with her hands, and walked firmly toward the trash can in the corner of the classroom.

"Eh? Professor, what you said is very reasonable. I have recognized my mistakes, so I have decided to correct them in time. You can rest assured that you will never see this lily in class again."

Elena blinked and raised the potted plant in her right hand, and replied seriously.

Never to see... Lily again.

Lily...

The words echoed in Snape's ears, he had just felt a thundering in his head, his heart seemed to be clenched in a tight grip, a bitter sorrow instantly filled his body, almost leaving him breathless.

"Stop! Come back!"

Snape tightly closed his eyes and then opened them, speaking with coldness, his tone at least one or two levels higher than the one he usually used.

"Professor Sprout gave you this lily, it doesn't mean you can discard it at your whim; on the contrary, it is a task and responsibility that you must fulfill."

"Since you believe it can bring you luck in the potions class... very well. From this point on, the growth status of this lily will also be one of the evaluation elements in your potions class. I will schedule it for review every evening."

"Now, the class begins!"
