Chapter 97

After a little more than a year, Gale and Severus are in Paris again.

Unlike the last time, when the two of them were all groping for their own routes, this time, as soon as they landed with the portkey, they saw a tall adult wizard waiting for the two of them.

This adult wizard was sent by the president of the Potions Master Guild under the name of Hugo Bradgri. Bradger watched Severus on the ground keep patting Gale on the back and stroking his chest to suppress the dizziness and vomiting from the portkey trip, and didn't speak.

Severus didn't care who was there to pick them up. Before coming to France, Grindelwald told Severus that since ancient times, geniuses have been so eccentric that there is no need to grovel to others. It's okay to be polite, but you don't need to care too much, after all, it's the Master Association that asks for help.

Severus perfectly portrayed the image of a young man of great talent, and focused all his attention on Gale, without giving Bradgery a single thing, until Bradgery himself spoke: "Good morning, Mr. Snape, Mr. Greene." I am Bradgri, an apprentice under Master Rasti, the president of the International Potions Master Society. Please come with me, both of you. ”

After Bradgery said this, he turned and walked away, showing his pride as the Potions Master Guild's president's apprentice. Gale shrugged at Severus, and the two of them tacitly followed together, not even a word of nonsense.

When replying to the Master Guild before, Severus had already mentioned the matter of bringing one more person, so it was natural that the Master Guild would be responsible for receiving Gail and Seaver's people. But it was clear that the president's apprentice, who didn't look like he was thirty years old, didn't think Severus had real material, which was why he was so cold.

In one way - instead of calling Severus a liar at first sight - Bradger was already a well-cultivated man. But on the other hand, the fact that Severus was incompetent because of external factors such as age without any thought or thought about it also shows that there is a bit of self-esteem and self-righteousness in his own personality.

Gail and Severus had discussed the various situations they might encounter before they arrived, and now they were only treated coldly, much better than the questioning, seizure, and ridicule they had originally envisioned.

The Masters Guild is located near the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Bradger took the two minors to a white building that sat squarely on the side of the street: "This is where the International Potions Master Association and the International Potions Association are located. Please pick your own room on the third floor, and later we will go to the underground studio to meet the president, vice president, and masters. ”

Bradger is actually a person who is easy to see through, and Gail can almost see the other party's suppressed sentence without blurting out, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't pick a room, anyway, you should be sent back after meeting the president and being proven to have no talent."

Because of this, Gail tugged at Lasifflus's sleeve, exchanged a tacit look with Seaver, and then pursed his lips and smiled slightly. And Severus, looking at Gail's active "sitting and waiting to be slapped in the face" expression, also showed a slight smile and rubbed Gail's hair very indulgently.

Since they were asked to choose a room, Gale unexpectedly chose a suite with the best view, the largest area, and the highest specifications as his and Severus's residence during their stay in Paris, which made Bradger's eyes twitch.

And Gale asked the latter with an innocent face: "Mr. Bradgerry, why is your expression very unpleasant, and the muscles in the corners of your eyes are still twitching?" Do you need Severus to boil you some muscle soothing? Oh, I forgot, your teacher is the president of the Master Guild, so Severus shouldn't need to do it. So, are you going to take some soothing before we go to the studio underground? We can wait for you. ”

Bradger was furious by Gail's words, and originally wanted to say something to fight back, but then he thought of something, just showed a sneer and turned away. When he reached the door, he paused in his footsteps, and without looking back, he said, "We'll go to the basement in five minutes," and left.

Gale grimaced at his back before turning to Severus, "Let's ignore him. ”

"Well, ignore him. Originally, I didn't want to come, but as Bruce said, a potions master also needs to be backed by reputation and connections. Just this time, I won't always come in the future, it's too troublesome. Severus expressed his thoughts to Gail. The talent for potions was the foundation of his life, and this invitation from the International Potions Master Association was also one of the important foundations for the future revival of the Prince family.

Regardless of whether Grindelwald and Headmaster Dumbledore will join forces to fight Voldemort together during this summer's vacation, Voldemort will not last long. As the head of the Prince family, he should seize this rare opportunity to make a name for himself when the British wizarding world is as silent as backwater. It is also necessary to let Slughorn, who has never given up, know that he is not without power and support.

The basement of the International Potions Master Guild is divided into three areas. First of all, there are potions-making workshops on the outermost side. The fifty or so workshops are all very standardized, and are generally used by the average Potions Master in the Guild.

In the middle area is a huge amount of various potions. It is divided into several small areas, some of which are preliminarily processed herbs, some are plants that are still in stock under the simulated ecology, and there are all kinds of living medicinal magical creatures.

Along the way, Gail saw a lot of interesting medicinal animals. It's not the same as the Prince family. The Prince family will grow some medicinal plants in their manor that simulates the ecology, but will not raise magical creatures. This made Gail feel very new when he saw some magical creatures that he had never seen before.

Seeing Gail's face full of admiration, Severus asked in a voice changer's not very nice voice, "Do you like it?" If you like it, let's go back and get some to raise. ”

"Still don't." Gail shook his head, "I'm just looking at the excitement and thinking it's new." ”

Hearing Gail's refusal, Severus did not continue to speak. Bradger, on the other hand, felt that Gail's fuss was really embarrassing.

After passing through the Potions area, it is the offices and studios of the masters located in the innermost part. Bradger ushered Gale and Severus into the president's office, and turned away without saying anything, as if he didn't want to stay with the two of them for a second longer.

Gail looked at Bradger's back, shrugged his shoulders and sat comfortably on the sofa for the guests, without feeling nervous at all.

After about ten minutes, the president and vice president, as well as several capable masters of the association, rushed in, and Bradgery followed behind.

"Welcome." The president bowed slightly to Severus, and received Severus with the same amount of chin and a "thank you" in response.

Such an attitude made some people feel that Severus was too proud, and instinctively disgusted. But before they could say anything, they were interrupted by Gale's words: "As far as I know, there has never been such a precedent, so in the case of Severus's paper itself, we suspect that it is the masters who have doubts about the author of the paper, so the two of us will come in person, right?" ”

All the adults present were shocked by Gail's straightness, and did not speak for a moment.

Gale saw that everyone was silent, so he continued in a particularly patient tone, like telling a story to a child under the age of five: "In other words, you think that Severus is not the author of the paper, and that it is possible that the paper was written by someone else, right?" ”

Gail glanced at the expressions of the seven Potions Masters, including President Latis—Bradger, who was standing in the corner indignant at his question, felt that they must be saying in unison, "Why don't you follow the routine?" in their hearts.

Yes, the general routine should be that everyone has some greetings first, and then the president asks Severus to personally brew an improved version of wolf venom and potions, and after determining his talent in brewing potions - even if it is not a paper written by him, being able to brew such a complex potion at this age also shows that the potential is huge, and it can be used as a reserve army for the future association - and then ask him about his ideas for improvement.

Subconsciously, including the president himself, he didn't think that the paper was written by Severus. They made up a drama in which the elders gave away the results of their research in order to pave the way for the younger ones, or Severus himself stealing the glory of the other older members of the family in order to become famous as a teenager. In short, no one thinks it's Severus himself's talent.

Gail bluntly spoke their minds, disrupting the originally designed routine. So President Latis cleared his throat first, coughed, and then spoke, "No, we just want to meet and talk to the young man who thought he was talented. After all, it is rare to have such a deep idea at this age. ”

"Yes, not very often. We are rare geniuses. Gail smiled and said, "What others can't do, we Severus can." Genius is not something that ordinary people with a little talent can guess. ”

Severus silently watched the people of the Master Guild being slapped in the face, not thinking that his future would be difficult at all. He enjoyed Gail's maintenance of him, and Severus didn't care at all about the feelings of these strangers in front of him, he had the strength and capital to be proud of his talents, and there was no need to pretend to be mild-low-key - this was what Grindelwald told him, and he agreed. The magical life of Gail Green
