Chapter Seventy-Six: Exchange
"Professor Snape's assessment is still so on-to-the-point."
Luo Cheng said with a smile.
"Such a large two-way mirror is worth a lot of gold Galleons, and you are willing to use it to spy on Potter and his foster family? If those careless Muggles break another mirror, you're in a big loss. ā
Snape said with a blank face.
"Money is just something outside of the body. What's more, my first job after leaving Hogwarts was as a Muggle liaison, and my job was to take over Mrs. Figg's role as a follow-up to the Dursleys and Harry Potter. ā
Luo Cheng said indifferently that the double-way mirror he used to monitor the privet road was actually a defective product. If it is a true two-way mirror, then the holder of the mirror can see each other and communicate through the mirror. The double-sided mirror that Luo Chenglong came to monitor No. 4 Privet Road can only transmit images in one direction, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a surveillance mirror.
"Straight to the point, what are you looking for me for?"
Snape didn't have a good temper with Luo Cheng, he had always complained about Luo Cheng's behavior, he didn't plan to see Luo Cheng at all, but when he heard Luo Cheng say that he lived on Privet Road, he agreed to come and meet.
"Of course there's something I want to turn to you, the Potions Master."
Luo Cheng said with a smile, he knew that Snape was watching the movement in the mirror out of the corner of his eye, the Dursleys were driving Harry back to the room at this time, and Vernon waved his hammer and said that he wanted to seal the windows and doors of Harry Potter.
"Oh? Do you want me to make a magic potion or something? ā
Snape said disdainfully, as a potions master, the most sought after in this era is actually the elixir, after all, this kind of potion with a complex configuration process and a very long process can only be configured with the confidence of the potions master, and the high-priced potions on the market are eighty percent of the poisonous defective products.
"Of course not, it's not that I want potions, it's that the minister needs potions."
Luo Cheng said mysteriously.
"Minister? Did he want a dragon root potion? (A potion that increases staying power)
"I'll understand this when Professor Snape reads this recipe."
Luo Cheng handed over a piece of parchment.
Snape glanced at him nonchalantly, then immediately stared at him solemnly.
"It'sā"
He then sneered, "Our minister is ambitious enough. ā
"So did Professor Snape accept the commission? In terms of remuneration, you will definitely be satisfied. ā
"You let me watch such a good show, I have no reason not to agree."
Snape pursed his lips and finally said meaningfully, "But I'd still be a little tempted to teach that pretentious Potter a lesson again, and I'd be a little bored if he was expelled from school because he couldn't get on the Hogwarts Express." ā
"Of course, that's my job, and I can guarantee that Harry Potter will be at Hogwarts."
Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Three days later, the Dursleys showed no sign of mercy, and Harry couldn't think of a way out. He lay in bed and watched the sun set behind the window grille, thinking sadly about his future fate.
There was a knock on the trapdoor, and Aunt Petunia's hand pushed through the hole a bowl of canned soup. Harry was already hungry and jumped out of bed to pick up the bowl. The soup was cold, but he drank half a bowl in one go.
"It's a good thing Hedwig isn't here, or it would have starved to death."
He was a little jealous of Hedwig's good fortune, at least he could stay at Luo Cheng's house and eat and drink spicy food.
"I don't know when Professor Luo Cheng will realize that I'm locked up......"
Harry lay in bed and fell asleep again, trapped in his room with nothing to do but sleep, he dreamed that he was put on display in a zoo with a card on the cage that read "Little Wizard". People watched him through the iron fence, and he was lying on the straw, dying of hunger.
He saw Dobby's face in the crowd and hurriedly called for him to come and save him, but Dobby shouted, "Harry Potter is safe there, sir!" After saying that, he disappeared. Then he saw the Dursleys, and Dudley shook the bars of the cage and laughed at him. In the end, he dreamed that Luo Cheng and Snape were arguing in the crowd, and he didn't hear his cries for help at all.
"Help me!" Harry said vaguely.
"We're here to save you, Harry!"
It's Ron's voice!
Harry woke up immediately, and someone was glaring at him through the bar: a man with a freckled face, red hair, and a long nose. Ron Weasley was outside Harry's window.
