'Yay! ’

Malfoy almost burst out loud when he heard it.

It doesn't seem that the potions are too good, but that they are too bad. Wait, Professor Snape will definitely want him to look good. ’

Hermione and Harry were a little worried about Dudley, but had to leave the classroom due to Snape's intimidation.

By the time everyone had left, only Snape and Dudley were left in the classroom.

To be fair, it was quite stressful to be alone with Snape, especially in a classroom full of potions materials.

After a brief silence, Snape spoke.

"You've done this before?"

Snape pulled out the bottle of the perfect scabies treatment potion.

"Nope." Dudley shook his head, "This is the first time I've boiled this potion. ”

Dudley was talking about the potion, not the first time it was made, a detail that Snape keenly captured.

"You've boiled other potions before?"

"That's right." Dudley nodded, and replied very honestly, "Minor Magic Enhancement Elixir, Retardation Elixir, Enhancer, Bone Spirit, White Fresh Essence, and Blood Tonic..."

Listening to Dudley's names of the potions he uttered as if he were announcing the names of the dishes, Snape's expression gradually became complicated from his original calmness.

"Show me."

Snape held out a hand to Dudley.

Dudley didn't say much, and slowly pulled out potions from his waist bag, and the various finished potions were neatly placed in front of Snape.

"Without your guidance, the level is very limited."

Snape picked one up and looked closer.

"It's really bad, it's better than the goblins in the sweet potato field."

The straightforward evaluation choked Dudley with a little bit.

Although these are all made in front of the data demon, I am still very satisfied with it overall, and it is only modest to claim that my level is limited.

Humble understands?

As everyone knows, although Snape's face was full of contempt, he was actually quite shocked in his heart.

In terms of the level of potion production, he is much worse than Lily and himself.

But in terms of variety, he and Lily didn't have as many as they did in the first grade.

Snape's criterion was that he and Lily were at the end of their first year, and Dudley was now just starting school, and his potions were clearly self-taught.

Very talented in potions... Or maybe you have a talent for boiling... Like his mother.

It's just a little worse than Lily. ’

Snape was one of the few Potions masters in the wizarding world, and he could tell at a glance what Dudley's talent was.

This reminded him of the few times he had been to Evans's house before, and he had tasted Penny's craftsmanship, and it tasted really good.

In a sense, potions are a lot like cooking.

"The way you cook is very similar to your mother." Snape said suddenly.

"Do you know my mother?" Dudley asked.

Snape's expression was a little unnatural: "Some friendship, we used to be neighbors. ”

Because Penny couldn't go to Hogwarts, she wasn't very friendly to her wizarding friends who went to Lily's house, and scolded him for being a freak, saying that he had a friendship because of Lily, and the fifth-year... After that incident, contact was completely severed.

He didn't expect Penny's son to come to Hogwarts, and he had a very good talent for potions, and he thought that their family was born Muggles.

"Are you the same Mr. Severus that my mother once mentioned?"

The professors at Hogwarts don't have a habit of introducing themselves, and in the first class they will tell the young wizards what my last name is, even if there is Snape, they will not do it, so the young wizards only know the professors' last names, as for the specific name is unknown.

"Ever talked about me?"

Snape was visibly stunned that Penny would talk to Dudley about him, something he hadn't expected.

"Some time before coming to Hogwarts, my mother told Harry and I a lot about the wizarding world, including some of the things she and Aunt Lily had about when they were children."

"Actually, she longs for this place and cherishes Aunt Lily's friends."

Penny had completely untied her heart and told them a lot of what she had learned through Lily in order to make Dudley and Harry's habits at Hogwarts.

Although many of them were from twenty years ago, the wizarding world hasn't changed much over the years.

Dudley could visibly feel Snape's body tremble slightly at the mention of Aunt Lily.

Snape suddenly thought of something, and suddenly looked up, staring at Dudley with hollow, blank eyes, until he stared at Dudley a little hairy.

I know, Penny's child must have inherited Lily's talent for being so good. ’

In fact, according to scientific theory, Dudley's inheritance of Lily's talent can actually be explained, but it involves genetics.

If you compare the potions talent to the recessive gene X, both Penny and Lily have this stealth gene X, but Penny does not have the conditions to become a wizard, so this stealth gene X is not activated, and Dudley becomes a wizard, and this invisible gene X is activated.

Of course, Dudley prefers to think that this is the change he brought about when he came into this world, and it has little to do with genetics.

But Dudley didn't think it mattered, Snape thought it would be fine.

He stubbornly believed that it was Lily guiding him.

Let's see, inheriting Lily's excellent potions talent, Gryffindor's relationship with Slytherin's childhood sweetheart is exactly the same as when he and Lily were back then, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Of course... He's stronger than I am.

Professor Snape was relatively thin when he went to school.

What do these wizards say? They don't believe in science, they believe in fate, they believe in prophecy.

Even if they are as strong as Voldemort and Dumbledore, they are very superstitious about fate, and Voldemort even killed the Potter family because of the prophecy, and then he was killed as predicted.

Dudley was different from them, he didn't believe in prophecy, he believed in muscles.

"You—" Snape stared at Dudley solemnly, dragging his voice out for a long time, and just as Dudley couldn't resist giving him a punch, he continued, "Want to learn potions from me?" ”

Snape had long had the idea of passing on what he had learned all his life, but he never found the right opportunity.

The pride of being a potions master makes his vision not ordinarily high, nor is it an ordinary pick, if you want to learn potions from him, you must at least have half of Lily's potions talent, and Lily's potions talent is infinite in his heart, and half of infinity is still infinite.

Now he thinks he's been guided by Lily, and if he doesn't think so, or if Dudley refuses or doesn't agree, then there won't be another chance like this.

And this is just an opportunity, if Dudley can't grasp it himself, he will still be abandoned.

There is no habit in the wizarding world of 'being a teacher for one day and a father for life' to accept apprentices.

"Of course, it's my pleasure, Professor Snape."
