72. Make things difficult
McGoth eagerly explained his hesitation, and saw that Snape's face eased a lot, but instead of being relieved, he was a little uneasy, he didn't know what Snape's attitude was towards what he was doing, and looked at him a little nervously.
It's just that it was difficult or impossible for McGoth to discern his thoughts from his paralyzed face, he didn't say anything, neither promised him to make potions, nor sarcastically what he was doing, and looked at him coldly and still said the same thing.
"Get out!"
McGoth smiled wryly in frustration and disappointment.
"Sorry to bother you, Professor Snape, goodbye." As he spoke, he slowly walked out of the office door, but it wasn't until he closed the door that Snape didn't hear anything before he accepted his defeat.
Isn't it true that the protagonist was stopped at the last foot of the door in the TV series, how can it be my turn, this is not good, although I am not the protagonist, but I can't be treated as a protagonist at all. Hey, Professor Flitwick also said that Snape looked at me differently, and it still didn't work. And if I hadn't hesitated before, would he have helped me directly, hey, headache, what's the use of thinking about these now, and finally I can only give up, I'm really unwilling. Not to mention how McGoss, who was in a state of flux, got back to the break room.
Snape in the office was also very troubled now, he had wanted to promise Magos to refine potions, but his hesitation made him feel distrustful, and angrily expelled him. His explanation gave him the feeling that it was the same way, but when he knew what he wanted these two potions for, he didn't know whether to help him or not, he hated unruly people, he hated megalomaniacs who disdained the rules, such as James, Lupin, Sirius, and as for Wormtail, he sneered at him and thought of him. He was hesitant, if he helped him, wouldn't it be the same as the people he hated, but if he didn't help? He now really felt the urge to make McGoth his favorite student.
Of course, he wouldn't admit that there was another reason, that is, he had always wanted to be like Jaime and the others to ignore the school rules, he knew the map of the living points they made, and he had also thought of creating such a legend that could be passed on in the school, breaking the rules is the biggest dream of every student, even if he seems to be very conformist. However, he had not been able to do so until now, and now it seemed that there was an opportunity for him to get involved, not for the sake of the ethereal legend, but for the fulfillment of a dream he had had......
He sat in his chair and thought quietly, motionless. There was no movement in the silent and dark basement except for the occasional sound of the wind, and no one would have thought that there was a person sitting in the office thinking about things......
After some time, the corners of Snape's mouth suddenly moved upward, as if he meant to laugh, and said to himself, "That's good, I'll give you a few tasks, and if he can accept it, it's a mutual exchange, and I haven't broken any rules." And if I can't accept it, then I don't have to think about it anymore. After saying that, the parchment in front of him automatically appeared with the words he wanted to write, and then the parchment disappeared from his eyes in the next second. He got up, shook his robe, and strode to the bedroom.
When he woke up the next day, McGoth opened his eyes and saw the parchment next to the pillow, but he didn't immediately pick it up and read it, he thought it was written by Harry or Ron, and since they saw the class schedule next to the pillow on the first day of school, they thought it was a very high way of communicating, and often wrote down the questions that came to their minds and put them next to each other's pillows. McGoth thought it was disgusting, and he could accept a letter from a pretty little girl or something next to his bedside, but only two of them could do it, which made him a little unbearable, so he protested several times, but the result of the protest was that he could harvest a few pieces of paper every morning, no way, and in the end he could only passively accept it, but he would never write to them.
Lying on the bed in a daze, in fact, he has been in a state of regret since he came back last night, regretting that he shouldn't have hesitated yesterday, and telling Snape directly about his things, maybe he has promised to help by now, but now he can only put it in his heart and feel uncomfortable.
Shaking his head, he shook off these unhappy things, sat up and picked up the parchment next to him, glanced at it, put it back and got up to get dressed, halfway through the dress, he suddenly froze, and picked up the parchment again with some suspicion.
"If you still want those two potions, come to my office tonight, but you have to think about it, two potions are not so easy to get, you need to promise me two tasks, if you don't come before eight o'clock, I'll give you up."
???????????????????????????????? Severus. Snape. ”
McGoth watched it several times in disbelief and jumped excitedly, he didn't expect things to turn around, and as for giving up, he didn't even think about it.
His movements startled Dean and Neville, who were just in time to go, and they looked at him suspiciously, wondering what was going crazy about him. He smiled at them and said nothing.
The day passed in his anxious waiting, and at noon he couldn't help but want to go first, but when he thought of yesterday's lesson, he endured it.
"McGoss, I noticed that you have been very wrong for the past two days." At dinner, Hermione looked at him at least a dozen times in a minute. Harry and Ron nodded and looked at him worriedly, he didn't tell them about him going to Snape, with their opinion of Snape would definitely keep trying to persuade him to give up, he didn't say anything in order to avoid words, they always thought he was going to Professor Flitwick for help.
McGoth thought about it and decided to tell Hermione that the past two days were to prepare for the final completion of the magic card, Hermione opened her mouth after hearing this, and finally said nothing.
"Harry, come on." After eating, McGoth cheered Harry on and ran to Snape's office underground.
"Professor Snape, I'm here." He shouted at the door, and the door opened.
He looked at Snape's expressionless face and decided to speak first, "Professor Snape, I promise your mission. ”
Snape smiled sarcastically, "Don't rush to agree, Mr. Will, you can listen to my mission first. ”
McGoth thought to himself that no matter what task you do, I will agree, I have no choice.
"You say."
The professor looked at him with rookie eyes and said, "There are four tasks, you can choose two, listen." He looked at him with a sneer, as if sure he would give up.
"First, I'll use the Dementor on you, and you'll pass the level when you can successfully resist me once."
Hearing the first mission, McGoth felt the urge to meow at me, and he opened his mouth and said, "But, Professor, I haven't even learned Occlumency. ”
Snape waited for him to finish and gave him a contemptuous look, "That's your business, my task is like that, do it if you want, and leave if you don't." ”
McGoth was thrilled by his eyes, and he really wanted those two potions, and agreed with a red eye.
The corners of Snape's mouth curled as if to mock him for his indiscretion.
"Don't worry, this is the first one, you have the right to choose." Hearing this, McGoth felt that he might have just been tasked with scaring him, and hurried to listen to the task that followed.
Snape showed a cat-and-mouse sneer, as if he had seen through his thoughts, but he didn't break it, and directly said the second task,
"Second, if you hold a wizard duel with me, I won't bully you, as long as you can touch me, I will lose." McGoth was stunned, he felt so stupid, since the first task was impossible, how could the second be easy.
Snape ignored his expression and continued, "Third, don't you think you're so good that you just learned how to make potions and then go to make elixirs?" Hearing this, McGoss's heart was cold, it wouldn't be for him to make a magic elixir, not to mention whether he could do it (basically he couldn't do it), even if he could do it, it would be half a year later when it was completed, what are you kidding. When was that?
"Don't worry, it's not a miracle elixir." Snape's voice woke him up. "It's a mana growth potion."
"Mana growth potion?" Hearing this potion, Magos subconsciously shouted loudly, "How is this possible, this is more complicated than the elixir. ”
"It's a little more complicated, but it's short, and it's not dangerous." After saying that, he glanced at him, leaving him speechless.
The reason why McGoth knew about the magic growth potion was because of its name, he had read a lot of books about potions in the first few days of his arrival at Hogwarts, and he had read a lot of novels and movies, and he thought that there must be a god like Zhu Guo that could improve the strength of the family and an experience potion that could be upgraded by drinking a bottle, and when he saw the name of the potion, he could imagine how excited he was at the time, and he even copied the recipe down and studied it carefully. If it weren't for the words that this potion was written in a dark color at the end that it was for wizards with extremely weak and unstable magical powers, and it was forbidden for ordinary wizards to use, he would have believed that it was an experience potion in the wizarding world. Of course, he didn't give up at the time, and specially asked Hermione to find out a lot about this potion before he stopped.
This potion was actually invented by a potion master, his original intention of inventing this potion was not to improve the magic power of a normal wizard, of course, he was not able to make it, this potion he prepared for his son, his son's magic is extremely weak, although it is not a squib, but it is a little better than a squib, it is difficult for him to successfully release a door lock spell when he is 16 years old. For this reason, his potion master father finally invented this potion after countless experiments, which can slowly and briefly improve his magic power, this potion caused a great sensation when it first came out, many wizards who want to take shortcuts are trying to get this potion, many normal wizards get this medicine and are happy to drink it, and then they sadly find that this not only can not improve their magic power, on the contrary, it will also hinder the natural growth of their magic power, and then after a series of discoveries and research, The wizard who took this potion had at most 80% of his magic power even when he was an adult, and this discovery made the crazy wizard of the time freeze from head to tail with a basin of ice water. And if you think it's okay for an adult wizard to take it, you're wrong, an adult wizard taking it will make his magic decline several years earlier, and this discovery makes all wizards dare not pay attention to it.
