Toad is a very frequently used material in potion refining.

Its skin can be mixed with white essence to make a very effective plaster for treating wounds, especially burns.

Blood and secretions are one of the raw materials for basic detoxification.

Eyes can be used to make love potions.

After the bones are dried and ground into powder, they can be added to most potion refining and used as a medium to filter impurities.

So the treatment of toads is also quite complicated.

Fortunately, Snape had prepared all the tools for John.

Not only are there brand new dragon leather gloves, but there is also a set of utility knives specially used for dissection.

With the support of these tools, John is confident that he can complete this internship.

However, when he actually sat down to start his homework, he realized that he had thought everything was too simple.

"Too slow, too slow! Are you a slug? You can't get anything done by grinding and chirping!"

"Can't you see the cut is crooked? Your skin will be rotten like this!"

"Use magic! Use magic! You idiot, I have to wait until tomorrow night to bleed you just by squeezing with my hands!"

"Didn't I tell you? Don't memorize by rote! You nerd! Many of the methods in the book are wrong. You should follow what I say!"

…

Snape's angry curses kept ringing in the office.

John's handling method is actually very good.

At least among the first to third year students at Hogwarts, his skills are top notch.

But Snape seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder and couldn't stand the slightest mistake on John's part.

When he got to the back, he even grabbed the knife from John's hand and started to demonstrate for John.

While cutting the toad, he was still spitting out weird words from his mouth, which directly made John's face turn pale.

If Snape was just being mean, John would have taken off his dragonhide gloves and threw them in Snape's face.

Anyway, if you want to deduct Slytherin points, John doesn't care at all about punishments such as confinement.

But the problem is that Snape's words are poisonous, but what he said is completely correct.

If the yin and yang elements in Snape's words were screened out, almost every word Snape said could accurately point out John's mistakes and effectively correct them.

He even taught John many of his own original processing techniques, which benefited John a lot.

Under the guidance of Snape's 'ultra-high pressure', John's dissection techniques improved rapidly. By the time it got dark, John could dissect every toad as accurately as a machine without any waste.

This directly caused Snape to speak less and less.

"puff--"

Throwing the last pair of toad eyes into the collection basket, John raised his head and stared at Snape with a pair of bloodshot red eyes, looking indignant - the person who was scolded could not be in a good mood, even if

He knows that it is good for him to be scolded by the other party.

Snape completely turned a blind eye to John's angry eyes.

He glanced at the current collection basins and nodded expressionlessly:

"It's just so-so. It's barely at the level I was when I was 8 years old."

As soon as he said this, John's anger subsided slightly.

Although Snape's words were still strange, John felt that Snape really spoke highly of him.

When he was in the Leaky Cauldron, he asked the guests about the various professors at Hogwarts.

So we know that Snape is actually a genius in potions in the true sense, and he comes from the famous potions family - the Prince family!

The ridiculously exaggerated talent for potions, coupled with the hundreds of years of exclusive experience accumulated by all Prince's sages, directly made Snape one of the highest-level potion masters in the country and even Europe at a young age.

.

The Society of Extraordinary Apothecaries has invited Snape to be their honorary vice-president many times.

As a result, Snape didn't care at all and just threw the other party's invitation into the trash can.

The potion skills of such a genius at the age of 8 may be almost the same as those of an ordinary potion master.

Thinking about it from this perspective, this is really a great compliment to John!

"call--"

Taking a deep breath to calm down, John asked calmly, "So, Professor Snape, have I passed the internship test?"

Snape glanced at John and threw out a silver snake coin.

"As long as you feel this coin is hot, you will come to my office to work after you finish your studies that day."

John nodded quickly and put away the coins.

Snape then pointed at the waste basin and said:

"You can pick some of these scraps and take them away, and I will give you an hourly wage of 2 silver siko, which is today's salary."

A small bag was thrown into John's arms. Feeling the weight of the bag, the corners of John's mouth finally couldn't help but turn up.

The notice didn't say anything about getting money.

This is purely an unexpected surprise.

He worked here for a total of about five hours today, which is 10 silver coins.

In addition, Snape, who has an obsessive-compulsive disorder, does not want materials that cannot be processed perfectly, so there are a lot of defective products in the waste bin, which can be worth six or seven silver coins if sold.

In other words, he has almost one gold galleons in his account today.

Of course, John couldn't really sell all these scraps.

Some of them were of better quality, and he was more inclined to save them for refining the potion himself next time.

But even so, it was more profitable than his previous job at the Leaky Cauldron!

Besides, not only can John make money here, but he can also take Snape's small stove lessons.

Snape is a venomous guy, his level is really high!

John estimates that if he can work here for a full year, he will be able to have an O.W.L level potion knowledge next year.

After packing up everything, John walked out of Snape's office carrying two bags with a smile on his face.

"boom--"

The stone door of the office slammed shut almost against his back, as if he didn't want to see him.

But the smile on John's face at this moment did not fade at all.

Snape gave too much.

For the sake of silver coins and knowledge, John felt that Snape's temper was actually not as bad as what was rumored outside.

John walked happily to the Slytherin common room.

I also took out the silver snake coin on the way.

In order to prevent himself from missing the work information given by Snape, he planned to make it into a pendant and hang it around his neck.

And this also reminded him of another pendant around his neck.

A silver cross pendant was pulled out from the collar by John.

Looking at the cross shining brightly under the light of the torch, the smile on John's face gradually faded.

Every time he saw this pendant, he would think of the nun.

Except for the nightmares he continues to have at night, he is doing pretty well overall.

If possible, he really wanted to tell the nun all about it.

He is a truly kind person. He will be very happy when he hears this news, right?

"Well, I don't know if the nun is doing well now."

John sighed and continued walking forward.

Dinner time had long passed, and he was going to go back to his dormitory to get a piece of rock cake to cushion his stomach.

Yet he had just returned to the Slytherin common room.
