Willow Springs: ...... Holding back her impulses and saying something !—— no, she actually said "What are you doing, Seaver?!" - thanks to Merlin, she was able to keep her composure!
Snape sneered.
"These are for you to practice how to cut potions correctly. ”
Liu Quan was stunned for half a minute before he reacted.
"Cut...... Potion materials?"
Snape grimaced, as if reluctantly.
"Since you now exist as Lily, it is your duty to protect her reputation. As Lily's ...... Friend, I can't sit idly by while your clumsy cousins ruin her reputation and waste her talents......"
The more Liu Quan listened, the more surprised he became.
No, of course, she's surprised that the only character so far to see through the secret that he's actually a substitute is Snape - whenever I think about it, it's a sigh that Snape really has the most genuine feelings for Lily, so he's the only original character in the four worlds so far to doubt her true identity and then come up with a speculation that is close to the truth.
But now she was surprised that Snape was willing to help her in the matter of Lily's reputation.
...... Yes, in the original work, many years later, he barely overcame his hatred of Harry's father, James Potter, and desperately protected Harry until the last breath of his life, just because Harry had a pair of green eyes that were exactly the same as Lily's. So now, for the sake of Lily's reputation and image, it's understandable to lend a little help to her as an impostor, right?
But even if you want to help her, what are you going to do with so many vegetables?
"Thank you...... But where the hell did you get all those vegetables?!"
Snape's face flushed slightly, then he quickly straightened up again, and said in a tone of lesson, "From the kitchen." The house-elves there would never refuse to listen to the Hogwarts students' requests—and, word of mind, the handling of potion materials is a university matter, not the thinner the better—look at the ginger root you cut that day! If you hadn't stirred it clockwise five times in time, you would have added armadillo bile, and the next second you would have been waiting for you with a fried cauldron! Then they would have said that Lily Evans would blow up the cauldron too? She's a good student, every professor's darling......
This boy talks a lot. Liu Quan thought to himself in annoyance. It's not at all as quiet as he was when he became an adult, but it's still just as venomous!
But he has a point.
Lily Evans certainly doesn't blow up the cauldron. She's the one who can blow up the cauldron, Willow Spring.
So she had to get back to Lily's normal level before anyone could suspect her. Snape may have been blinded by his vague feelings for Lily, but there was one of the greatest White Wizards alive in the school. Once Dumbledore finds out that something is wrong with her, it may not be bad for her, but when the time comes, what excuse will she use to prevaricate Deng School's interrogation?
Willow Springs, succumbing to Snape's embryonic devil's training program.
"You're right. I should practice more. She walked over to the table, picked up a small silver knife, grabbed a potato in her hand, and began to shred it under Snape's slightly impatient simplicity.
After Liu Quan had practiced knife skills for a week with vegetables and fruits as potions, she heard James Potter, who was deliberately sitting next to her, talking loudly to Siris and Lupin.
"Hey, brother, do you think the house-elves in the castle are too strange lately?...... Why are our lunches and dinners filled with shredded potatoes in all sorts of ways? Who would eat potatoes so thin?"
His goal was achieved, Liu Quan heard his complaint, and sure enough, he raised his gaze and glanced at him fiercely from the plate.
Who would cut potatoes into slender shreds and eat them?!Is this how I eat empire?!Merlin's fork!How she misses the simplest of sour and spicy shredded potatoes now!
She glared at the disheveled creature diagonally across the table, and roared inwardly:
...... You citizens of a dark cooking powerhouse who can only make potatoes into chips won't understand my pain, right?!
So in the next few days, there was another dish of shredded carrots on the menu at Hogwarts.
In fact, when Snape asked for the pile of vegetables from the Hogwarts kitchen for her, he didn't plan to return the finished product of her knife practice back to cook. And the house-elves won't ask for it.
In the end, it was Liu Quan's last life to chop his hands...... Oh no, shopping online, so that she has to save every penny of living expenses on a budget, so she unconsciously developed a good habit of "never waste" - so, she thinks, even for training, it is a shame to waste vegetables.
In particular, she originally had her own [Advanced Cooking] skills, and her knife skills were actually very good, but she didn't know how to deal with the various things that were used as potion materials according to what specifications; after the guidance of the later Potions masters, she now has practice makes perfect, and her skills in handling potion materials have improved by leaps and bounds as her skills in controlling magic power, and even the house-elf Dory, who was designated by her to come to the corridor on the eighth floor every time to pick up vegetables, was amazed from the bottom of her heart by the finished product she took out.
A few weeks later, when James Potter discovered a new potato recipe at the dinner table again, he didn't complain a word out loud at the death stare of Lily across the table.
After dinner, Willow Quan wanted to stop by the head of the faculty table to ask Professor McGonagall about Transfiguration, but found Dumbledore, who was very shiny in his clothes, sitting there with a grin, and when he saw her walking over, he carefully picked up a potato slice from the plate and said in a very natural tone, "This potato slice is awesome...... It's as thin as a piece of candy wrapper!Oh, Lily, what do you think?"
Liu Quan was taken aback, and his footsteps unconsciously stopped, staring blankly at the old wizard with a sly smile.
Dumbledore winked happily at her and said, "Oh, I like hard-working children. This Halloween, could you please carve a jack-o'-lantern for me, Lily?"
Liu Quan was embarrassed for a moment. After reacting, I felt a little funny.
It seems that as others say, everything that happened in Hogwarts can't be hidden from their headmaster.
As a result, Liu Quan practiced the Potions class more comfortably...... No, after-school tuition. You know, the opportunity to let the "youngest Potions Master" open a small stove for himself in the future is definitely not something you can ask for - unless it is Dumbledore or Voldemort—— this is all for the sake of the real Lily Evans' face, so you must cherish it now!
“...... Impostor," the voice of the black-robed Potions professor, who was still in the midst of a terrible voice change, but had gradually taken on the rudimentary shape of the black-robed Potions professor, sounded unhurriedly behind her.
"If I were you, I wouldn't have added that extra spoonful of dried nettle powder—but maybe you'll need a little blast to clear your petrified mind?"
Liu Quan was shocked, and immediately withdrew his hand, and then carefully swept off all the powder weighed on the scale, and restarted the weighing process.
"You're distracted. Snape said dissatisfied, scrutinizing the rumbling cauldron in front of Willow Springs with a harsh look. "This color looks so bad - what did you just add less?"
Liu Quan thought hard for a moment and shook his head. “...... No, all of them are according to the recipe in the textbook—"
"Don't be so confident," said Snape suddenly, as he leaned over to Willow Spring's cauldron, seemed to take a closer look, and shrugged his big nose slightly, and then frowned, looking at Willow Spring with an expression that looked like an unlucky man who had been splashed with a scabies potion.
"Three or four parts of the snake's tooth powder," he said, "how much did you add?"
Liu Quan: "...... Three and a half servings. ”
Snape: "How many turns?"
Liu Quan: "...... Isn't that what the textbook says......"
Snape sneered.
"Three and a half parts of snake tooth powder should be stirred six times clockwise and then half a turn counterclockwise to achieve the perfect orange color described in the textbook. He said with a hint of smugness, "Look what you've done now—"
Indeed, the bubbling potion in the cauldron was dark blue. However, she is only a mortal with fish lips at heart...... No, Muggles, and even wizards, not everyone had the talent to improve inaccurate recipes like the "future Potions Master". Liu Quan stared at the pot of potions depressedly, and almost asked him to borrow the potions textbook of the half-blood prince, which was full of advanced tips on potions.
However, even with her dejected expression, the strict [future Potions Master] did not look any mild on her deceitful skin.
"You know you're ruining Lily's reputation right now!" he shouted at her, "though I don't know how you did it—but there must be a way to get her back! Until then, you'd better be serious and act like a real honor student—maybe it's too hard for you?"
He pursed his lips harshly, watching her silently turn off the heat and bottle the potion again. The potion was finally starting to take on a pinkish-purple color—the color that transitioned from blue to orange. However, this potion can only be done in the end. He glared at the crystal bottle disapphantly, as if two more glances would make her suddenly smarter.
"Such a simple recipe, if it were Lily, you wouldn't go wrong - where the hell did you come from?!"
Then he heard the fake Lily in front of him sigh and smile forgivingly, looking at him as if she were looking helplessly at a wayward child.
"Don't you know from the way of privet road. She replied.
