Chapter 272 Aptx Four Thousand Six Hundred Sixty

Lily...

Snape's eyes clouded over again. Mobile terminal

I have to say, the quiet underground classroom is a place where people can easily be absorbed by memories.

In particular, after a full day of exhausting teaching tasks, he was caught off guard again by the softest name in his heart: the more Snape resisted that memory, the deeper it became embedded in the depths of his heart.

In a state of distraction, Snape seemed to instantly go back a decade, back to the cruel rainy night, in the ruins of the broken and disordered house, holding Lily's cold body and could do nothing but cry out loud...

"Enough already, I am just a potions professor, Miss Caslana."

Snape took a deep breath, a faint flash of barely perceptible pain in his eyes, and suddenly said.

"For questions about the cultivation of flowers and plants, you should ask Professor Sprout..."

After ten years of teaching at Hogwarts, Snape had learned to better protect a person.

And unwittingly, his magical ability had reached a very high level. Although he had not really demonstrated it, he believed that he would not lose to the other three heads; even if he were to exert his utmost effort, even against Voldemort at that time, Snape was sure he could delay him for a long time.

It's a pity that Lily, whom he used to want to protect at all costs, is gone forever.

"But..."

Elena raised her head and was about to say something. After her eyes accidentally met Snape's languor and the slight pained expression in the man's eyes, she suddenly shuddered and unconsciously halted the words on her lips. Lily softly fell and said quietly.

"...oh, now I understand."

Obviously, most "Snape's followers" made a fatal assumption: Snape did not like lilies. If one thinks carefully, he really has no reason to like lilies.

Severus Snape can clearly distinguish between a plant and the real Lily Evans, just as he has been able to clearly distinguish between Harry Potter and Lily Evans.

For Professor Snape, he will never want, nor replace Lily with anything, becoming his own spiritual support; therefore, whether it's a pot of lilies or Harry, whenever it appears, it's like a knife being plunged into Snape's mind.

Elena bit her lip, quietly withdrew the lily plant in her hand, carefully placed it behind her, stared at the bright green potions lined up on the podium, and suddenly steered the conversation in another direction.

"So, professor, can you teach me more about potions?"

"Potion knowledge?"

Snape's expression softened slightly, raising his eyebrows.

"It depends on what you want to ask. It's not good to have too many expectations. No matter what your previous progress in self-study, I don't think you should get too involved early on in advanced potion knowledge."

"Actually, it's just some questions about shrinking potions."

Elena pointed to the podium, her face gradually turning serious, her lake-blue eyes shining strangely.

"The textbooks only record the process of how to brew it, but there is no precise introduction to the potion's effect. I want to understand the relationship between the magical effect of the shrinking potion and the dosage, and its different scope of application. Under the performance..."

To be precise, this is the first real potion Elena has come into contact with.

Compared to spells tied to personal talents, potions have always been an underestimated discipline for everyone; in Elena's opinion, if the non-magical world and the magical world were to merge for the first time, then the best starting point must be that there is no magical potion to use and understand the threshold.

In fact, the first moment she saw the description of the "shrinking potion" in the textbook, there was a figure of death in Elena's eye, trapped in the cycle of time and using lenses, and a very similar description.

【When we tested the purification, we found that it has the function of inducing programmed metabolic breakdown of cells, and most users will die directly. However, with a very small probability, it will strengthen the activity of telomerase and increase the proliferative capacity of the cells. The phenomenon that all the cells of the experimental body's bones, muscles, internal organs, and hair, except the nervous system, degenerate at an early age. According to the experiment number, the agent was called APTX-4869.】

According to the aforementioned introduction by Professor Snape in the classroom, if the potion material imbalance occurs during the brewing process of the shrinking potion, the brewed potion generally exhibits extremely strong toxicity.

Of course, if it is a perfect finished product, only a few drops are needed to temporarily revert a fully metamorphosed toad to a small, vibrant tadpole.

Theoretically, as long as the potion is researched and improved, the final form that can be derived should be sufficient to drive most people crazy.

"I know what you're thinking, Miss Caslana, rejuvenating the potion. Am I right?"

Snape approached the lectern, took a vial of shrinking medicine, and with a hint of mischief, slightly moved his lips as he spoke.

In his long career of potion research, there is no lack of thoughtful apothecaries who will concentrate on the shrinking potion. After all, compared to dark alchemy, the threshold of potion is undoubtedly much lower.

Therefore, for Elena's question, Snape only needs to observe the expression in the girl's eyes a little to guess what she wants to ask: for a potion genius who can help guide the clumsy third-grader Pippi, paying attention to this matter is simply normal.

"Really? Is it possible?"

Elena blinked and asked in surprise.

"Of course not."

Snape responded without hesitation, leaving the shrinking potion in his hand, and said solemnly.

"Human emotions and thoughts are too complicated, and if you take a shrinking potion, you may damage your memory and thoughts to a certain extent. As far as I know, there are at least two people living on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries who wanted to use slimming medicine to rejuvenate. Of course, they took too much at once, causing permanent damage."

In fact, the most dangerous profession in the entire magical world is not the Auror as people often think.

The accidental death rates of solitary potion masters and spell masters have always been quite high; the more prominent the wizards are, the easier it is for them to die due to their curiosity and the harm they can cause. Their power is usually several times or even hundreds of times greater than that of common wizards.

At this moment, it is very necessary to have someone who can correct and stop the act of death at any time.

After all, the development of potions and spells can be said to be based on the existence of a long list of deaths. Remembering the importance of the various causes of death of the ancestors is even more important than remembering the correct process of potions.

However, Snape's concerns are obviously superfluous.

For Elena, who has seen the laboratory of the University of the later generations, it is absolutely impossible to directly use human experiments. If she wants to prolong her life, she can let her "grandfather" go with Mr. Hornheim to exchange feelings, not to mention that her urgent desire is to age as soon as possible.

In fact, at this moment, Elena is considering another aspect.

"So, the potion works for toads, but not for humans..."

Elena lightly tapped the table with her finger and asked thoughtfully.

"So, what about some animals larger than toads? For example, feeding dogs, or feeding snakes..."

Wow!

I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, but today there's just an extra!

Because I carefully thought about Professor Snape's journey, I felt that the original design was still a bit inappropriate, so some changes were made.

Ooooo, I have three chapters to owe~

However, Zhang said that Gagen and the distribution of red packets still exist~~

PS: Dear chubby and round-faced chicks, have you spoiled the lovely [Elena Kaslana] these days?

PS 2: If you have received the red packet, please leave a message here. I would like to make sure if it was taken by a bot or a real reader.
