Vampires are part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in Year 3, and Kyle also learned about it last year.

Lockhart is unreliable, but at least the content of his book is not fake.

In addition to the "Lockhart's Smile", an unrepeatable weapon of mass destruction, there are many serious ways to deal with those dark creatures.

"Garlic gives off one of the most annoying smells of vampires, like we smell compost in a greenhouse."

On the way to the library, Kyle tells Neville, "You can hang it around your neck or wipe its juice on your body."

"Of course, it's okay to eat, if you eat enough to make yourself like Quirrell, with a smell of garlic wafting everywhere you go, then even if you give your neck to the vampires, they won't look at them."

"I see......," Neville said abruptly, "I remember, Professor Lupin seems to have said so." ”

"But this only applies to the general situation." Kyle continued, "If you're hungry for a long time, or if you're a vampire with a unique taste, it's useless for you to turn yourself into garlic. ”

……

Neville nodded repeatedly, and with Kyle's help, he quickly finished his Defence Against the Dark Arts homework.

He raised his head, hesitated for a long time, and suddenly whispered, "Thank you......"

"What?" Kyle was making up his own divination homework and didn't hear it.

"I mean, thank you......" Neville added, "it's been a long time since I lost my password, and no one wants to talk to me."

"You're the second besides Hermione."

"That's because you didn't find the right way." Kyle looked up, "If you say to Fred and George...... "Your pranks don't mean anything at all", they could pester you for a whole day, or more.

Or you could go to Harry and tell him that you saw a beautiful girl in Ravenclaw, and that he would be happy to talk to you for hours. ”

"Huh?" Neville blinked. "Is it that simple? But I don't think Harry likes to be around me, and he's been looking for all sorts of reasons to be separated from me. ”

"Maybe he just has something else going on." Kyle puts down his quill and puts away his homework.

Looking at the time, there were less than ten minutes left before the hour Snape had requested.

"Just in time."

Kyle stood up and explained in Neville's confused eyes, "Second half of confinement, go to the basement classroom."

Want to be together? As luck would have it, I'm sure Professor Snape wouldn't mind if I brought someone over. ”

"No, no." Neville's head shook rapidly, and he grabbed his quill so hard that he nearly knocked over the inkwell.

"Me, I still have a lot of homework to write, you go ahead."

"That's a shame." Kyle didn't say anything more, packed up his things and walked out of the library.

In his seat, Neville wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the library, Kyle walked through the foyer and all the way to the basement classroom.

Because of Hogsmeade Visiting Day, most of the students were not at the school, and even the originally lively foyer was not occupied at this time, especially in the underground classroom.

Along the way, Kyle can only hear his own footsteps.

This time he was going to the third classroom, which was in the middle of the hallway.

By the time Kyle pushed the door open, Snape had arrived, and he looked at Kyle with a blank face, "Why are you here so late?" ”

"It's two minutes until an hour, Professor." Kyle said.

"Thank you for the reminder, but I think I'll look at the time." Snape said.

"I'm sorry Professor, I was supposed to come earlier." Kyle continued, "But it's not like I'm worried about coming too early and disturbing you......"

"You're so thoughtful." Snape said in a long voice, "Do I have to thank you?" ”

"No, it's all supposed to be." Kyle tilted his head, "Of course, if the professor insisted on giving me a pint of the elixir as a thank you, I would be too embarrassed to refuse." ”

Elixir?

Pint?

The corners of Snape's eyes twitched, he had never heard of anyone's elixir being counted by pints......

Did he think the elixir was anything, pumpkin juice?

"Looks like I'm going to have to ask Madam Pomfrey to help you look at your brain." Snape gestured, "But that's for later, now go clean the cauldron and bring it over." ”

Following Snape's finger, Kyle saw a larger-than-normal crucible with some pungent brown potions inside.

"Clean it up." Kyle pulls out his wand.

The potion inside was swept away, and the cauldron was immediately clean.

Kyle looked back, he had thought that Snape would not agree to do this, and that he would have to wipe it with his hands...... But unexpectedly, Snape didn't say anything.

"What are you doing, move the crucible quickly."

"Oh, good."

It would be nice to save trouble, and Kyle picked up the cauldron and placed it in front of Snape.

"Professor, can I go?"

"Of course...... No way! Snape sneered, "You don't think I'm letting you come, just cleaning the cauldron, my confinement won't be so easy." ”

He took out his wand and pointed at it, piling a large pile of potion materials on the table in front of Kyle.

"Deal with these things, I'll use them later."

A sneer tugged at the corner of Snape's mouth, and he looked at Kyle with a sinister look, "Remember, I'll only say it once...... If you did something wrong and didn't handle this stuff as required, I won't remind you again.

But then you'll probably have one less professor after that. ”

"Listen up......

Lionfish bones are ground into fine powder, ginger root sliced, three drops of armadillo bile, three drops of mandrake juice, and the top part of the wolf poison grass leaves must not be damaged in the slightest......"

Snape spoke quickly, as if he was afraid Kyle would remember.

Fortunately, Kyle has a good memory and has written down everything he said.

After that, he disposed of the material without saying a word.

As he grinded the lionfish bones into a fine powder and was about to cut the ginger roots, Snape spoke again.

"Now, put the lionfish bone meal in the crucible......"

Kyle nodded, pouring all the powder from a saucer.

Soon, the potion in the cauldron turned a beautiful orange color.

"Professor, may I ask what kind of potion this is?"

"Oh?" Snape raised an eyebrow, "Our Mr. Perfect Score, can't you see what this is?" ”

"At least it's certainly not what we're going to learn." Kyle said, "It's not a ...... until seventh grade"

"So in your opinion, what is not in the textbook, it doesn't matter, right?" Snape sneered:

"If you read a few more books on potions, you'll know that potions made from lionfish bone meal with ginger root and armadillo bile can keep the mind clear, and mandrake juice and wolf poison weed can suppress the effects of dangerous deformations......

"Hearing this, don't you still understand?"

Kyle pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Wolf poison potion?" ”

Keeping people awake is also related to dangerous deformation, and that's all.

"It's not stupid yet." Snape said meaningfully.
