Chapter 215: A false alarm

The afternoon Potions class was an ordeal for the students, and anyone who had to face Snape's gloomy face would tremble, and some of the students would even have a nervous breakdown.

Many students were afraid of Snape, afraid of being targeted by Snape when they were brewing potions, and afraid of being called up by Snape to ask questions during class.

There are very few wizards in the wizarding world as a whole who are really good at making potions, and even fewer are Potions masters like Snape, so it's unrealistic to expect everyone to be like him.

Both classes in the afternoon went well, and Snape taught everyone how to prepare hair growth potions. In Albert's opinion, this medicine is simply a blessing for middle-aged bald men. If you improve this potion and sell it in the Muggle world, it is estimated that it will be sold like crazy.

"Anderson, stay after class. Snape stood behind Albert and watched him make potions, and after a long time, he suddenly whispered.

"Hmm!" Albert replied casually, giving Fred the others a look of me's fineness. Although Albert was indeed a little weak when facing Snape, he was sure that Snape would not be able to see through his thoughts.

After all, he was already a level 3 man in Occlumency, and even if Snape directly pulled out his wand and used the Dementor on him, he might not be able to dig up the memories he wanted from Albert.

When the bell rang for the end of class, the students in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief, and after hurriedly handing in the potion samples, they fled the potions classroom.

"You added an overdose of ginger root to your hair growth potion?" Snape asked, staring at Albert's potion.

"Added twice, five pieces. Albert pouted, "The effect of the hair growth potion is obviously more significant. ”

Snape stared at Abel for a long time, his eyes shining with a strange light. Then, he took out a folded piece of parchment from his pocket and handed it to Albert, and said in a strange tone, "It seems that you are famous now?"

Albert was a little confused, but he still reached out to take the parchment handed by Snape, only to hear the other person say, "Do you know what happened last night?"

"You mean a Slytherin student who was caught on a night walk?" Albert said, looking away from the parchment and curling the corners of his mouth pleasantly, "That's a shame." ”

"Now disappear from my face with your little cleverness. Snape motioned for Albert to get out of the way.

Albert shrugged his shoulders, slipped the parchment into his pocket, turned away from the gloomy Potions classroom, and hurried forward, catching up with the three who had slowed down and waited for him.

"Didn't the old bat do anything to you?" Fred asked worriedly, remembering what had happened not long ago.

"What could be the matter. Albert said with a smile.

"What is Snape looking for you?" asked George, curious.

"He gave me a letter of introduction!" Albert explained, pulling out his parchment, "a famous pharmacist was interested in me, probably to see if he could establish a correspondence. ”

"You have a lot of pen pals. Fred glanced at the parchment and asked, "They actually want you to write a manuscript for Practical Potions Master?"

"Probably Hetok Dagworth!" Albert guessed, and if Dagworth happened to mention himself like anyone else, it wouldn't be surprising that the editor-in-chief of Practical Potions would use Snape to determine the truth of the matter.

It is well known that a number of academic journals have links to Hogwarts professors.

"You have a bright future ahead of you. Fred couldn't help but sigh, "The only question is when he will become Minister of Magic." ”

"The Minister of Magic is a pit. Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at the three of them, and said with a look of disgust, "Whoever wants to jump will go." ”

They all couldn't help but laugh.

"Today's hair growth potion is good, and it seems that you added ginger root tablets twice. The four of them walked and talked as they walked towards the library on the fifth floor.

"Well, five tablets, if you can get rid of that nasty spiciness, I think the hair growth potion will definitely sell well in the Muggle world. ”

"Muggle world?" Lee Jordan looked at Albert in astonishment, he knew that his roommate did have the idea of selling potions to Muggles, but it was too strange!

"There is no good cure for baldness in the Muggle world. Albert explained with a smile: "A bunch of rich people will rush to buy it, and they are not short of money anyway." ”

The three of them looked at each other, not commenting on Albert's thoughts.

Most wizards rarely used Muggle money, although they knew they could use Muggle money to exchange it for Galleons from Gringotts, but ...... In fact, the vast majority of pure-blood wizards don't even know Muggle coins, let alone think of using them to make money.

"You first look for information about the jumping umbrella fungus from the "Encyclopedia of Toadstools". Albert said to Fred, "I'm going to write a letter to Hertok Dagworth. ”

Albert was going to discuss with the Potions Master if he could further improve or dilute the hair growth potion to ensure that it would work slowly on Muggles without suspicion.

Of course, Albert also wanted to buy sun-dried mandrake roots through Dagworth, and since he knew that mandrake roots could be used to make powerful amulets, he couldn't help but try them.

"Found it!"

A short time later, George interrupted Albert's musings and placed the page on the parachellant in front of the group.

"Let me see. Fred read the ten lines at a glance, and muttered as he looked: "When picking, you need to be careful not to inhale too many spores of the jumping umbrella fungus, otherwise you will fall into confusion." ...... It is best to wear dragon skin gloves to avoid skin and umbelilla spores, which can cause skin redness and swelling...... It needs to be taken away with the roots, otherwise the beating umbrella fungus will easily wither and rot......"

As a poisonous mushroom, there are indeed a lot of precautions for picking jumping umbrella mushrooms, and if you are not careful, you may really be unlucky because of it.

As for the jumping umbrella fungus cultivated in the school greenhouse, the safety is naturally higher.

Well, the best way to catch P. hopsa fungus in the wild is by food attraction.

"It seems that the difficulty is even higher than expected!" Albert put away the half-written letter, and also leaned over to read the information he found together, he thought for a moment and said: "The food lure method is a bit difficult for us, and now we can only try our luck in the forest during the rainy season." ”

If you can't find it, you can only buy it from a drugstore.

Moreover, as long as dragon-related things are not cheap, dragon claw powder is naturally no exception.

If you add in the cost of buying sun-dried mandrake roots, his purse is estimated to shrink considerably, and Albert can't help but sigh, he suddenly finds that he doesn't have enough galleons.

Looks like we'll have to find a way to make some more Galleons.
