“...... Dogs?"

Snape raised an eyebrow, looked Elena in the eye with an unfathomable gaze, and repeated in a low voice.

Dogs are forbidden in Hogwarts Castle.

Since several vicious incidents, Hogwarts has imposed strict restrictions on the animals that young wizards can keep in school, and the only ordinary animals that young wizards can carry in the first year are cats, toads, and owls.

Although senior students can raise magical animals such as puff velvet, grass lizards, chestnut needle hedgehogs, etc., they must also inform the prefect of the house and complete the records with their respective deans.

Of course, a very small number of young wizards will also keep some harmless small animals, such as rats and non-venomous snakes.

But most of them will be instructed in advance when they enter the school to bring their small pets with them - after all, these small animals can be caught as a snack in Hogwarts Castle, which is full of owls and cats.

Therefore, in Snape's impression, the only dog in the entire Hogwarts Castle area was the Three-Headed Hellhound (Elite) who carried Elena in front of the school hall gate this morning.

"Miss Kaslana, you should understand that there is an essential difference between magical beasts and ordinary creatures. ”

After a moment of silence, Snape spoke again, his usual indifference in his voice.

There is no doubt that the big dog in Elena's mouth must be the terrible three-headed monster - judging from the performance of the class just now, if the group of Pipi shrimp can stumble and complete the basic boiling, then there is no difficulty for Elena at all.

Elena nodded frankly and said with a smile.

"So I need your help. And, it's a very rare opportunity, isn't it?"

Compared to the rapid pace of development in medicine and pharmacy in the non-magical worlds, the pace of change in Potions was noticeably slower.

The rapid development of the modern medical system is only one of the most recent reasons, and the biggest limitation of modern potions is that most of the new potions lack a sufficient number of clinical test subjects - those who are willing to think of themselves as guinea pigs will always be a very small group of crazy pharmacists.

The Law of Rappaport (repealed), the Muggle Protection Act, and the International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Law were introduced one after another, while protecting wizarding to a great extent, and at the same time ending the dark and bloody development of Potions and Charms.

After the promulgation of the "Prohibition of Animal Cultivation Testing", the channels for obtaining magical animals for potion or magic magic experiments became narrow and expensive overnight.

Unlike non-magical disciplines, many potions or spells must be validated with magic in mind: mice and chimpanzees may be useful to ordinary humans, but when it comes to the element of magic, it's a different story - history has proven that any experiment that dares not to consider the effects of magic is a 90% failure rate.

"If it cooperates, I'm not sure I'll save your life from the mouth of an angry three-headed dog. ”

Snape's eyes loosened slightly, and his fingers slid slowly over the outer wall of the row of potions beside him.

After Elena's prompting, the Potions professor suddenly came up with rows of ancient recipes that had not yet been verified, requiring the blood, hair, claws, and teeth of the three-headed dog...... You know, these materials are completely priceless and rare in the market.

"Don't worry, it's already my dog, you should understand when you see this, right?"

Elena smiled and raised her index finger, and a faint blue flame exploded with a snap, turning into a miniature three-headed puppy and sleeping soundly on her fingertips - well, no doubt the big dog had already gone to sleep after an afternoon.

Facing Elena with a calm face, Snape raised an eyebrow with a facial expression, and his heart churned slightly.

What is it?

An incomprehensible magic?

On closer inspection, it seems to be a kind of contract magic?

Severus Detective Snape tapped his finger thoughtfully on the podium, and a flash of thought flashed in his eyes—so there should be no doubt about the identity of the man who broke into his office in the morning.

It only took a moment to think back to the pantomime that "Otto Apocalis" and Dumbledore had played in front of his office, the behavior of the three-headed dog this morning, the strange expression on Dumbledore's face in the teacher's seat, and Elena's knowledge far beyond that of ordinary young wizards...... The answer is simply too simple.

Was it Gellert Grindelwald's handiwork, as a warning to Dumbledore?

It seems that the legendary Dark Lord who almost ruled the entire wizarding world is not such a ruthless and terrifying dark wizard.

It is clear that there is a fundamental difference between Grindelwald and Voldemort, which may be why Dumbledore would ask him to help care for this girl - the power of love is far more powerful and terrifying than mere killing.

"Okay, I see. ”

Snape pondered for a moment, then nodded, straightened up, and said as he collected the potion.

"Give me a portion of the big dog's blood, considering its size, huh...... Let's start with a small keg or so. Then I'll record the specific size data, and anyway, I'll go back to the office and think about it first. ”

As a Potions Master, Snape was not without a temper.

Now that you know it's Grindelwald's pet for her granddaughter, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to verify some ordinary potions and collect some harmless materials - it's just the office maintenance fee and compensation.

Huh? That's the promise?

Elena blinked in surprise, Snape cooperated far beyond her expectations.

You know, she had been preparing for an afternoon to convince Professor Snape to help make the potion, and she knew it was going so well, so she wouldn't have gone to Professor Sprout to ask for that lily bulb as a killer feature.

Unexpectedly, it was just a matter of asking Lu Wei to donate a little blood to solve it - with the level of understanding of the three-headed Lu Wei, of course, he would understand the necessity of making sacrifices for Potions.

"Okay, okay. Professor, I'll take you to the office. ”

Hurriedly picking up the lily bulbs, Elena followed Professor Snape out of the basement classroom, ready to slap a few more nice rainbow farts for His Royal Highness the Great Half-Blood Prince.

Suddenly, there were two voices with a bit of complaint and surprise in my ears.

"Elena, you've figured it out......"

"Morning, Elena......"

Outside the Potions classroom, Hermione stood up with a tome in her arms, looking like she had been waiting for her for a long time. And beside the little beaver, Hannah, who was sitting in the corner with her knees in a daze, raised her head sleepily, couldn't help but yawn, and waved her hand quite cutely.

Boom......

Forget it, I still have a pair of wings waiting for me.

Elena stuck out her tongue and looked at Snape with some embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I ......"

Mutter!

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

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.

PS 3: In fact, it wasn't originally written like this~ This chapter is a rewrite of a different plot. I thought it was a bit strange to write like that, and although it was quite interesting, it didn't match very well, so it was abandoned and rewritten. I lost the manuscript in the V group, so let's take it as a benefit. The group number is in Chapter 28, if you are interested, you can take a look.
