After finding the page containing the Philosopher's Stone, Kyle placed the book on his desk and read it carefully.

"The greatest achievement of ancient alchemy, a magical substance with amazing powers, can turn any metal into pure gold, and can also create an elixir of life so that those who drink it will never die.

There have been three Philosopher's Stones in history, and each of its appearances has led to extremely tragic wars.

The longest war lasted twenty years, and the country that had the Philosopher's Stone was razed to the ground in the tenth year.

Because every appearance is accompanied by countless blood, the Philosopher's Stone is also called the Blood Gem.

Merlin and King Arthur teamed up to destroy one of the three Philosopher's Stones, and the other was eventually obtained by Rowena Ravenclaw, who united her three friends to establish the famous Hogwarts at the cost of the Philosopher's Stone.

The only remaining philosopher's stone belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicol Lemay. ”

At the end of this introduction, there is also a picture of the Philosopher's Stone.

It was a bright red stone, irregular in shape, a bit like an unpolished ruby.

Kyle stared at it for a long time, taking every angle until Cedric came to call him to dinner, then closing the book.

On his way to the auditorium, Kyle returns the books just before the library closes.

Mrs. Pince didn't say anything, though she thought it was strange, just that it was the information Kyle needed to check his homework.

For the rest of the day, Kyle didn't bother with the Philosopher's Stone, instead focusing on Snape's notes.

Although Snape looked scruffy and didn't wash his hair, his notes were very detailed.

And he has carefully marked and explained many places, and it is very easy to understand the meaning when you look at it.

Because of the notes, Kyle also suddenly thought of something.

During his night trip, he made a special trip to the underground classroom, and found the worn-out copy of "Advanced Potions Making" in a closet in the corner.

It was also marked with a line of small print: "This book is the property of the half-blood prince." ”

"Tsk, it's also a half-blood prince...... I didn't expect Snape to have such a second-year time. Kyle unceremoniously took the book into his arms, intending to buy a new one in a few days and put it back in.

And just like that, the time quickly came to December.

Hogwarts was covered in a thick layer of snow, and the lake was covered with hard ice.

As Christmas approached, the little wizards were much more excited than usual, and the professors had to deduct at least a dozen points per class to keep their attention a little more focused.

Of course, the exception is the class of a few professors.

Professor Binns, for example, does not deduct points.

And Professor Snape...... Not to mention that the holiday is coming soon, even if it is a holiday tomorrow, no one dares to desert in his Potions class.

It's the same today, in the underground classroom, everyone is seriously studying the process of brewing new potions, and even the occasional communication will deliberately keep the sound to a minimum.

Snape was standing behind Kyle, watching strangely as he crushed the Sleepy Beans with the back of his knife.

"What the hell is going on, I've seen Merlin......" Snape said to himself.

The other day, he noticed that Kyle had made rapid progress in potions, a significant improvement over his previous level.

But the problem is that Kyle is already very good at brewing potions, and it is impossible for him to improve so much in a short period of time.

Snape suspected Kyle of peeking at the notes he had prepared for Connor.

So in this class, he directly skipped the original vertical hair potion, and chose the water of life and death, which was more difficult and required to start learning in the sixth grade.

Since the notes he gave Connor only contained from before the fifth grade, if it was a sixth year class, Kyle would definitely be beaten back to his original form.

Snape had figured out that no matter whether Kyle succeeded in boiling the dead water in the end, he would find all sorts of reasons to deduct fifty points.

It's not difficult, the water of life and death is a very cumbersome potion to make, there are many steps and troublesome, and if you operate it well, you can deduct 100 points.

He wants Kyle to know how serious the consequences of reading notes without his permission are.

But now...... He suddenly realized that he couldn't understand what was going on.

Kyle's process of squeezing the Sleepy Beans was perfect, and even he couldn't have done it better.

And this little trick is obviously not in the note, after all, Connor next to him is still struggling to cut those slippery beans with a knife at this time.

Snape frowned.

Isn't Kyle looking at those notes?

No, even the most talented person can't suddenly improve so quickly in a short period of time.

Let's take a look, maybe he was just lucky and stumbled.

With that in mind, Snape didn't go anywhere for the lesson, and stayed behind Kyle.

Even if a young wizard blew up the cauldron, he just threw the other person out of the classroom with his wand.

When class was over, Snape looked at the perfect water of life and death in Kyle's crucible, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything critical, and finally could only snort coldly.

"How did you do that!"

"What did you say?" Kyle wondered.

"I mean......" Snape said stiffly, grimacingly, "why is your potions level improving so quickly?" ”

"I don't know, maybe it's because of the Sasian Dean of St. Mungo." Kyle laughs, "She taught me a lot during the summer and gave me a lot of potions as references. ”

"Pegasos Sasia?" Snape's eyes narrowed.

Snape is no stranger to one of the greatest pharmacists of our time, but he doesn't think Kyle's recent progress has anything to do with it.

Maybe there are ...... But it's definitely not the main reason, otherwise he would have been able to see it as early as after the start of school, how could it have been delayed until now.

"Tell the truth!" Snape stared into Kyle's eyes and said coldly.

"I don't understand what you mean, Professor." Kyle blinked and said with a straight face, "It's all true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Dean Sathya in person, and she will testify for me."

Oh yes, and I recently met an enthusiastic senior who also benefited me from the old textbooks he used back then. ”

Snape's face worsened, and he gave Kyle a deep look, then turned and walked away, leaving the Potions classroom without looking back.

If you don't want to say it, forget it, what kind of old textbooks for senior students...... Will he not know the level of those people?

Not to mention those crooked melons and cracked dates now, even if it is pushed forward for another ten years, no one can make such a perfect water of life and death in the classroom!
