Chapter 017: Lake Superior

"What about special potions?" Boss Bai's waist seemed to have become bent.

"How much do you want?" Snape asked directly.

"20 standard bottles a year, okay?" Boss Bai's waist was completely bent.

"Conditions?"

"All raw materials are supplied at 50% off!" Seeing that Snape was not moved in the slightest, Boss Bai immediately changed his words, "No, three folds!" Two folds! That's the lowest price. ”

"Deal!" As soon as the conditions reached the bottom line, Snape did not hesitate to make a decision.

"Master refreshed! I immediately asked people to draw up a treaty. As soon as Boss Bai clapped his hands, the four beauties standing on the side immediately went back to the small door, "Several, please use tea and taste the wine cakes from Suzhou." ”

"The best Biluochun with wine-stuffed cakes, Boss Bai really has three flavors!" Catherine lifted the tea bowl and took a sip, then praised it softly, Harry couldn't help but taste it when he heard it, but he stuck out his tongue wildly, K didn't touch the tea, only picked up the snack and tried it, seeing that it was delicious, he immediately took the plate to his arms without hesitation, as for Snape, he was leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.

"As the most suitable tea to accompany Biluochun, the wine-brewed cake has always been only popular in the spring before and after the Qingming Festival because of the climate, but I didn't expect it to be able to taste it in early July." Catherine's eyes lit up as she took a bite of the snack, and she immediately turned to the dark-haired boy sitting next to her, "Harry, take some for Dobby to taste, and see if he can make something milder for the professor to use." ”

When Boss Bai heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Snape thoughtfully, Fang Chao secretly looked at Harry from the corner of his eye, raised his hand and made a gesture of "please", Harry's face blushed for a moment, and then he picked up the plate and turned around to share it with Dobby.

"Master, this is the contract and the deposit, do you have any objections?" The four beauties came out of the small doors on both sides again, holding two boxes of medicinal herbs on one side and a contract and pen and ink on the other.

Catherine beckoned to the beautiful woman holding the contract, then picked up the contract in the tray and studied it carefully. Harry glanced over curiously, and saw that the paper was densely packed with square words, and simply ignored it, while Snape's attention was entirely focused on the two boxes of medicinal herbs.

After signing the contract, Boss Bai graciously sent them out of the store, which immediately attracted another wave of visiting eyes, which did not disappear until they entered the New York branch of the United States Department of Magic.

"Dobby, are premium potions expensive?" Harry quietly asked his doubts.

Dobby swallowed hard before replying in a very low voice: "The market price starts at 1,000 Galleons for a standard bottle, and starts at 5,000 Galleons on the black market." ”

Harry gasped, and when he looked at Snape again, he suddenly felt as if he was made of diamonds, and he was unusually dazzling.

"It took three days to roll in that big dye vat in New York to truly appreciate how easy life is." K got out of the Niagara River and sighed affectionately.

The scorching heat of July made it almost impossible for everyone to resist the cold water**, even Snape got into the water, not to mention, Harry and K, who jumped into the river as soon as they changed their clothes, only Catherine, who has always been cold, would refuse this kind of activity, to be precise, she would never touch any cold objects unless necessary, even if she was very water-oriented.

"Hey! Are you asleep? K couldn't help but reach out and poke Catherine.

"Nope!" Catherine pushed her sunglasses and turned to look at K, "Have you figured out what to do with what you bought?" ”

"Hey! You don't have to go too far! You're eating me and sleeping with me now, and you dare to be so arrogant! K complained angrily, she didn't say nonsense, since Catherine and Snape's three days in New York were all spent fighting and procuring materials, all the necessities and travel and leisure equipment, including the portable water summer cabin where Catherine was lying, were bought by K, and of course the funds were provided by Catherine.

"So, you've figured out how to explain to the FBI how you got from Brazil to the U.S. in 10 days, and you didn't leave a trace along the way." Catherine's words caused K to retract straight into the water.

"Do I really have to go back to Brazil and fly from Brazil to Los Angeles?" K asked dejectedly.

"Anyway, what Elder Turtle said was 'free', since I'm not in a hurry, I'd better deal with some hands and tails before I go over."

"Got it!" K muffled in response, and slipped back into the water and swam to Harry.

Catherine smiled and closed her eyes back in the sun until a familiar shout rang in her ears.

"Don't sleep here." Catherine opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Snape's wet head, but he was clearly not satisfied with the red-haired girl's reaction, and jerked out of the water, splashing all over her.

Catherine habitually raised her hand to block the splash that spewed into her eyes, and then felt something pass under her legs and shoulders, and her whole body rose into the air.

"Yikes!" Catherine couldn't help but let out an exclamation of surprise from the sudden weightlessness, and she hurriedly reached out to put her arms around Snape's neck, and a scorching body temperature immediately came, even the cool water could not hide it.

"Do you dare to lie outside and sleep when your body is so cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" Snape swore and walked into the house with Catherine in his arms.

Catherine kept her head down, not daring to say a word, she had never found that her body temperature could rise so high in such a short period of time, her throat seemed to be burned dry, and the water in her body seemed to have evaporated, and for the first time she was so eager to get into the water at once, and let that coolness completely moisturize every cell of her.

"Huh? Did you fall asleep again? Snape couldn't help but look down at the girl in her arms, and Catherine closed her eyes and tried to slow her breathing.

Seeing this, Snape couldn't help but put Catherine on the bed, and as soon as the red-haired girl touched the bed, she immediately retracted her hand and burrowed into the bed, which made Snape stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but show a weird smile on his face, before turning around and walking into the bathroom.

Catherine reached down and pulled down her sunglasses and peeked in, she felt as if Snape knew she was pretending to be asleep, but she didn't understand why he hadn't revealed it, whether he had discovered his embarrassment.

"Nope! It's humiliating! Catherine cried out in her heart, feeling that her brain must have been burned by the sun to make such a childish move, and she took a deep breath to try to calm herself down quickly.

But as soon as she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom, her eyes flashed the image of Snape coming out of the water, and then she seemed to feel his scorching body temperature, and then her whole body felt as if it was burning.

"Merlin!" Catherine grabbed the quilt and covered her head completely, and reached out to cover her ears, but the sound of water like rain hitting plantains still came to her heart, she thought of the rainforest, of the Amazon River, of the Atlantic, of Niagara Falls......

More and more water enveloped her, her heart slowly calmed down, her body seemed to become a swimming fish, a voice was calling, she quickly chased after it, she swam for a long time, and finally felt that she was very close to the sound, she stared seriously at the direction of the sound for a long time, before she swam to the surface of the water, she broke through the water, jumped high until she could see the surroundings clearly, and finally she found the source of the sound - Lake Superior.

Catherine sat up from her bed abruptly, looked at the room that was somewhat familiar in the dim light, and realized that she was dreaming, but as soon as she thought of the dream, she immediately jumped out of bed and rushed out of the room.

Outside, the sun was still giving off its last rays of light, Snape was sitting in a black bathrobe in the doorway reading the newspaper, and a warm dinner was on the table next to him.

"Awake? Then have a quick dinner! Snape glanced at her and continued to look at the newspaper in his hand, "The three of them finished eating and went back into the water, as if they had never seen each other in their lives." ”

Catherine smiled slightly, her nervousness was completely relaxed, and she walked to the table and sat down to eat her dinner.

"I just had a dream that the sound was coming from Lake Superior." When the sun finally set, and Harry and K were finally willing to get out of the water, Catherine began to tell what she had dreamed about.

"Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world; The Amazon River, the largest river in the world. What's next? Is the largest sea in the Pacific Ocean? K asked curiously as he gulped down the hot soup in his bowl.

"No, I'm going back home after going to Superior." Catherine slowly shook the milk tea in her hand, "Although it has only been two weeks since this trip, the harvest is too great, I have to go back and tidy it up." ”

"So we're scorers?" K glanced at Catherine, then suddenly hugged Harry and shouted, "Harry, I can't bear you!" ”

"You can't afford to bully me at any time!" Harry cupped his eyes and said angrily.

Although his memory is not as good as Catherine's, he has learned how to extract his memories, and he has also bought a meditation basin, and when he goes back and looks at it carefully, he can turn what he knows into his own.

"Alas! Sure enough, children are still fun when they are not sensible, but when they are sensible, they will be very unhappy to be bullied. K said sadly, "What's even more unfortunate is why I was the one who was bullied since I was a child!" She stared at Catherine fiercely, as if she was about to punch two holes in her hair with her gaze.
