Chapter 16: Snape

According to Canaan's guess, several famous professors at Hogwarts were probably top first-class wizards. And Voldemort's peak strength should also be an official wizard, after all, he was on par with Dumbledore at that time.

"My magic is still far behind. Canaan felt that there was a huge gap between his strength and the top wizards in this world, although he had grown rapidly with his golden finger, but the dangers of the wizarding world were everywhere, and he felt that he still tried not to provoke these people until he had enough strength.

Placing the alchemy watch, he took out the cauldron and prepared to try the alchemy potion—the Purifying Heart Elixir. The raw materials for this potion are not expensive, but the refining process is quite cumbersome, and one of the materials called Fire Rock Snake Saliva is even more critical, which needs to be dropped in the moment when the potion shifts from blue to red, otherwise the potion will fail to be refined.

Canaan was so confident in his ability to refine potions that he took out the "Advanced Potions Making" and prepared to try to refine potions according to the methods described in the book.

A molten core grass, crushed, put in solvent, and then add an appropriate amount of water...

Canaan followed Hohenheim's method of handling medicinal herbs with meticulous care.

"Bang!" The unfinished potion exploded, apparently failing the experiment.

There was an unpleasant smell of burning in the air, he held his breath, calmed down, recalled the steps of refining medicine, prepared to improve the deficiencies, and tried again.

After a long time, Canaan looked at the yellow potion, a little difficult, after several attempts, he finally completed the potion according to the steps in the book, but the finished potion recorded in the book was red, and the potion he drank several times before was also red.

However, he did follow the steps recorded in the book, step by step. This medicine should work, right?

When he saw the respectful Skarda next to him, Canaan's eyes lit up, why don't you try it?

......

Later, it turned out that Canaan was wrong, and after Skada drank the medicine, he immediately foamed at the mouth and convulsed. It took a great deal of effort for Canaan to wake him up.

In the evening, Canaan watched some videos of Hohenheim about refining potions, and he found that the alchemy system of the world of Glennoor was much more complete than that of the world of Harry Potter.

In Hohenheim's video, when refining potions, there are extremely standard times for the quality and time of adding materials, and the refining of potions in this world has not yet been standardized, and there is no fixed refining process, so refining potions is very easy to fail.

So thinking about it, it is understandable that the finished potion is so expensive, after all, for most potions, the refining steps are cumbersome and complicated, and the refining process is also extremely prone to failure. Canaan thought of Professor Snape, the Potions Master from the movie, and the few bottles of Heart-Clearing Potions that Canaan had bought in Diagon Alley, many of which he had made.

If he can get Snape's guidance, I believe that his level of refining potions will be greatly improved, and he can also make a heart-clearing potion. He hadn't enrolled at Hogwarts yet, so there was no good reason to contact him. However, there are many admirers of him in Potions, so if you ask him in the name of a fan, you should be fine. Canaan thought.

As he said and did, Canaan summoned Sindra, and wrote in the letter his admiration for him, as well as his confusion in refining the Purifying Heart Elixir, hoping to get some guidance from Professor Snape. The letter was very polite and modest.

After writing the letter, he noted on the envelope: Sixplus Snape, Hogwarts Potions Professor. In the wizarding world, wizards' names have magical effects, which is why owls can deliver letters accurately.

After Sindra took the letter away, Canaan found that it was late on the clock, close to 12 p.m. "I hope it doesn't bother Professor Snape," Canaan prayed, looking forward to a reply the next day.

At night, the surroundings were peaceful, and Canaan slept peacefully in his cot.

"Bang!" an owl slammed into the glass of the window and slid straight down.

Canaan was instantly awakened and turned on the light in the room, only to find a black owl outside the window holding a letter, and Snape had replied.

He quickly opened the window, took the envelope, and carried the owl in, "Little one, it's cold outside, come and warm up inside." Canaan fed it some crumbs.

"I didn't expect Professor Snape to be so efficient. Canaan muttered as he opened the envelope.

"Canaan Blaine, this letter of yours perfectly spoiled my elixir, oh, and that damn white owl that can hit the glass?The most famous genius little wizard in the wizarding world, I think you should know that late at night is never a good time to deliver letters, I hope you won't be dragged down by your fame into an arrogant and rude guy..."

Canaan smiled, he didn't expect that he had interrupted Snape's alchemy because he had sent a letter, and it was also a blessing elixir, after all, the raw materials for making this potion were also very valuable. Canaan could imagine Snape's long donkey face, and then read on.

"As for the meditation potion, it's not something you can touch right now, and besides, the potion turned yellow because of an overdose of femme fatale, I don't think you'll be stupid enough to drink a misconfigured potion, an overdose of femme fatale powder can completely poison a cow. ”

The handwriting was sloppy throughout, and Professor Snape looked very angry. Canaan didn't pay much attention to the sharp words in the letter, but he wanted to laugh at the thought of Snape's stinky face. In the movie, his attitude towards Harry is worse than that.

In the original film, Canaan's favorite character is also Professor Snape. Born of mixed race, he has no friends around him since he was a child, and he has been bullied. Lily, the only girl he loved, was also taken away by his most hated opponent, and later he joined Voldemort, begging bitterly, but he couldn't keep his beloved. Throughout my life, what a sad word.

However, he defected to Dumbledore for Lily, and after Harry entered school, he also secretly protected him, which was misunderstood by many people, and finally died at the hands of Voldemort in order to protect Harry. In Canaan's view, this was what moved him the most about Snape.

Whether it was the curse of "mudblood" or until his death, Snape never changed. This professor who is not good at words has never diminished his love for Lily in his heart.

Yawning, Canaan prepared to write a reply letter tomorrow morning to express his apologies. After sending Snape's owl away, Canaan quickly returned to sleep.

The next day, on a sunny day, in the Hogwarts Tower, Snape was looking at the envelope Canaan had sent back, the thick bags under his eyes and the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't rested well the previous night.

"Dear Professor, I sincerely apologize to you, and I deeply regret disturbing your alchemy process last night. I hope you understand the thirst for knowledge that wizards have. Thank you also for your guidance in the envelope, I think I'll be making the potion soon. Looking forward to life at Hogwarts and your continued instruction. ”

Snape's stiff face showed a rare smile, and he casually put the letter down and didn't pay any more attention.

As for Canaan, he came to the laboratory early, although he was guided by Snape, it took him a lot of time to make the Purifying Heart Elixir, looking at the red liquid in the potion bottle, he nodded with satisfaction. However, to be on the safe side, he let Skarda try the medicine.

Skarda drank the potion with a nervous expression, and it seemed that the last experiment had made him feel uneasy, but due to the Imperius Curse, he could not resist Canaan's orders. Canaan was pleased with the final test results, and the Purifying Heart Elixir succeeded in calming Skada, and there were no mistakes throughout the process.

"Looks like there's nothing wrong with that. Canaan was relieved, he now felt that the decision to stay with Skada was the right one, and he could chat with him when he was bored, and occasionally he could use it to test potions and serve as test subjects. What a good guy!

After solving the problem of the potion, the stone in Canaan's heart seems to have been unloaded, and now the pressure to earn gold gallons is not so urgent, and the current income from selling books and performing arts can fully support the material cost of alchemy, and there is a surplus.

With the rapid growth of his magic, Canaan felt that he needed to start mastering some advanced magic to protect himself, such as the Fire Charm and Apparition Shifting, as well as the Occlumency Technique, which also needed to be on the agenda. However, these spells are dangerous, and it is easy to have problems without anyone to teach them.

Canaan wanted to start with Professor Snape, who was the only one he knew who was proficient in many advanced spells. But for no reason Snape would never teach himself this, Canaan was sure.

However, to Canaan's surprise, after hearing his complaints, Skarda said that he had practiced the Occlumency Charm, and that he was quite proficient in using it. He suggested that Canaan could learn the Mind and then practice the Occlumency Mantra, and that the two could complement each other.
