Lily......

Snape's eyes flickered again.

I have to say that the underground classroom that has been quieted down is a place where it is very easy to pull people into memories.

In particular, after a long day of teaching tasks, he was caught off guard by someone again and inadvertently poked at the softest name in his heart - the more Snape resisted that memory from the depths of his heart, the more profound it became.

In a moment of distraction, Snape seemed to be back ten years ago, back to that cruel rainy night, in the ruins of a broken and messy house, and he hugged Lily's cold body, unable to do anything but cry out loud......

"That's enough, I'm just a Potions professor, Miss Kaslana. ”

Snape took a deep breath, a hint of imperceptible pain flashing in his eyes, and said in an unusually stiff tone.

"You should ask Professor Sprout about the cultivation of flowers and plants......"

After ten years of teaching at Hogwarts, Snape had learned how to better protect someone.

And before he knew it, his magical attainments had reached a level of profundity, and although he hadn't really competed, he didn't think he would lose to the other three Deans - if he tried his best, even if it was against Voldemort head-on, Snape was confident that he would be able to maneuver and delay for a long time.

It's a pity that the Lily he once wanted to protect at all costs is gone forever.

"But ......"

Elena raised her head, and was about to say something, when her eyes inadvertently touched Snape's depression and the faint painful look in the man's eyes, her heart suddenly twitched, and she subconsciously stopped the words in her mouth, and the little hair on her head lay down softly, and said softly.

“...... Well, I see. ”

Obviously, the vast majority of the "Snape's Raiders" made a fatal mistake - Snape didn't like lilies, and when he thought about it, he really didn't like them.

Severus Snape was able to tell the difference between a plant and the real Lily Evans, just as he had always been able to separate Harry Potter from Lily Evans.

For Professor Snape, he would never and would never replace Lily with anything to become his spiritual sustenance - so whether it was a lily potted plant or Harry, every appearance was actually a knife stuck in Snape's heart.

Elena bit her lip, silently withdrew the potted lily plant in her hand, carefully placed it behind her, glanced at the row of bright green potions lined up on the podium, and suddenly opened her mouth to change the topic in another direction.

"So, Professor, can you teach me a little more about potions?"

"Potions knowledge?"

Snape's expression softened slightly, and his eyebrows raised.

"It depends on what you're asking, and it's not a good thing to be ambitious. Regardless of how far you've been in self-study, I don't think you should start too early with too much advanced Potions knowledge. ”

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

Elena pointed to the podium, her face gradually becoming serious, and her lake-blue eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Textbooks only record the process of how to boil, and do not have an accurate introduction to the effects of the potion. I would like to know the relationship between the magical effects of the shrinking potion and the dose, and how it behaves in different ranges......"

To be precise, this was the first real "potion" that Elena had come into contact with.

Potions has always been a subject that everyone underestimates compared to spells that are subject to individual talent - in Elena's opinion, if the non-magical world is to merge with the wizarding world for the first time, the best place to enter is a potion where there is no threshold for use and understanding.

In fact, at the first moment of seeing the description of "shrinking potion" in the textbook, Elena immediately remembered the figure of a bespectacled Grim Reaper trapped in the cycle of time, and that very similar description.

[When we tried to purify it by dry distillation, we found that it has the function of inducing programmed metabolic rupture of cells, and the vast majority of users will die directly. However, in a very small case, the activity of telomerase will be strengthened, and the proliferation ability of cells will be increased, and all cells of bones, muscles, internal organs, and hair of the subject except the nervous system will degenerate to infancy. According to the experiment designation, the agent was designated APTX-4869. 】

According to Professor Snape's previous lecture in class, if there is an imbalance in the ratio of potion materials in the process of brewing shrinking potion, then the brewed potion will usually be extremely toxic - perhaps not directly fatal to wizards at a certain dose, but for a non-magical creature like a toad, just a few drops are enough to kill.

Of course, if it is a perfect finished potion, it only takes a few drops to temporarily return a toad that has completed metamorphosis into a vigorous tadpole.

Theoretically, as long as this potion is further studied and improved, then the final form it can be derived from should be the legendary ...... that can make most people crazy about it.

"I know what you're thinking, Miss Caslana, the Rejuvenation Potion. Right?"

Snape walked over to the podium, picked up a bottle of shrinkage potion and shook it, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and said with a little playfulness.

In his long career in potions research, there was no shortage of thoughtful potions masters who would set their sights on shrinking potions, after all, the threshold for potions was undoubtedly much lower than that of the obscure and esoteric alchemy.

So, Snape only had to look at the look in the girl's eyes to guess what she was trying to ask about Elena's question—it was normal for the Potions genius who could assist in guiding the clumsy third-year Pippi Shrimp to notice this.

"Huh, is that really possible?"

Elena asked in surprise with a wink.

"Of course not. ”

Snape replied without hesitation, putting down the shrinking potion in his hand and speaking with a serious face.

"Human emotions and minds are so complex that it is possible to damage memories and thoughts to a certain extent by drinking shrinking potions - as far as I know, there are at least two idiots living on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries who want to use shrinking potions to rejuvenate themselves - of course, they have taken too much at once, causing permanent damage. ”

In fact, the most dangerous profession in the entire wizarding world is not the Auror that people usually think.

The accidental mortality rate of the lone Potions Master and Spell Master has always been at a fairly high level - the more outstanding the wizard, the more likely it is to die, because their curiosity and the destructive power they can cause are usually several times or even hundreds of times more than that of ordinary wizards.

At this time, 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 charms can be said to be based on a dense list of deaths, and the importance of remembering the various causes of death of the ancestors is even more important than remembering the correct potion brewing process.

Snape's concerns were clearly unfounded, though.

For Elena, who has seen the university laboratories of later generations, it is absolutely impossible to directly use herself for human experiments. If she wanted to prolong her life, she could have asked "Grandpa" to talk to Mr. Hohenheim about her feelings—not to mention, she was now desperate to grow up as soon as possible, and she was more eager to age than to rejuvenate.

In fact, Elena was thinking about another aspect at this time.

"In other words, toads work, but they can't be applied to humans, right......"

Elena asked thoughtfully, tapping her fingers lightly on the tabletop.

"So, what about animals that are a little bigger than toads......?

Mutter!

I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, but there is only one shift today!

After thinking about Professor Snape's mental journey, he felt that the original design was still a little inappropriate, so he made some changes.

Woo woo, I already owe three chapters~

However, the chapter said that there are still more and red envelope benefits~~

PS: Dear round-faced fat chickens, have you ever given the cute [Elena Kaslana] a heart these days?

PS 2: If you have received the red envelope, please leave a message here, I want to see if it was taken away by the plug-in, or if it is a real reader.
