Snape suppressed his "excitement" and began to count his lost potions.
"Two pieces of African tree snake skin, a pair of bicorn horns, three pieces of gill grass, five bunches of eel boneless dried meat..." Snape gritted his teeth and calculated his losses, and found that the intruder was simply
He forcibly used his storeroom as a pharmacy and gave it back to himself; here comes a 30% off coupon!
And looking at the types of potions that were taken away, Snape thought thoughtfully: bicorn horns and African tree snake skin, although mixed with some other things, these two materials are in Snape's potion.
The master's eyes are as conspicuous as fireworks in the night sky.
Someone was secretly preparing Polyjuice Potion! This was Snape's first reaction. This attracted his attention, so Professor Flitwick of Ravenclaw was woken up from his sleep by Snape late at night.
"Severus, do you know what time it is?" Professor Flitwick walked out of the bedroom sleepily wearing a blue nightgown and a nightcap.
"Someone broke into my potion storage room and stole a batch of potion ingredients."
"Didn't you set up an anti-theft charm?" Professor Flitwick's eyes widened in surprise, "I remember that your raw materials are very expensive, right?"
Snape's mouth twitched and he ignored the topic, "It contains the raw materials for preparing polyjuice potion, so I hope you can help me investigate and find the thief."
Upon hearing the term Polyjuice Potion, Professor Flitwick also became serious, and the two of them rushed to Snape's office as quickly as possible.
Looking at the broken door lock, Flitwick raised his wand, and then an invisible wave of light enveloped Snape's office, and Snape's shadow gradually appeared in the office in the afternoon.
"The time is further back, about half an hour ago." Snape looked at his shadow who was reading a book, and said expressionlessly.
Professor Flitwick followed suit and adjusted the time when the magic spell appeared, and then the shadow of a phoenix appeared in their eyes.
Flitwick, Snape:...
The two of them watched helplessly as a phoenix flew into the office, then opened and looted Snape's potion collection with great purpose, leaving a bag of money on the table.
The phoenix in the magical world, also known as the phoenix, is sacred, loyal and few wizards can be recognized by them. In today's magical world, there is a person who is bound to the phoenix, and he is the greatest white wizard Albus Dun
Dumbledore. When talking about Phoenix, the first thing that comes to everyone’s mind is Dumbledore.
Snape and Flitwick are no exception. In their inherent concepts, things like the phoenix cannot be imitated. This kind of thing cannot be transformed by a transfiguration or animagus.
"Professor Dumbledore must have a deep meaning for doing this..." Professor Flitwick thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only say this dryly. At the same time, he spread his hands and shrugged
Shoulder, indicating that he is powerless: the thief has been found, the thief is the Phoenix, Snape, go and communicate with Professor Dumbledore yourself.
Snape gritted his teeth: "What a profound meaning! I think he has some serious illness!"
So without saying a word, he took Flitwick and rushed towards the principal's office. There was one more sleepless person tonight.
Dumbledore was also a little confused when he was woken up from the bedroom: What? Fawkes ransacked Severus's storage room?
He quickly went to make sure, and when he saw the familiar figure, he was a little shaken. Could it be that Fox really caused trouble while he was sleeping?
"Of course, it could also be a physical patron saint in the form of a phoenix." Flitwick thought for a moment and came up with the second explanation. After finishing speaking, he found that both Snape and Dumbledore's eyes were on him.
"Ah, I'm just proposing a hypothesis..." He was a little embarrassed, because he had just discovered that Dumbledore was the only wizard in the magical world who had a patron saint in the form of a physical phoenix.
"It's actually very simple to verify," Snape waved his cloak and walked directly towards the principal's office. He walked into the door, turned behind the door, took out a mistletoe berry from the cloak, and asked Dumbledore to give it to Fawkes.
Pass it over.
Fox was woken up in his sleep, and he was a little dissatisfied at first, but he didn't expect that it was a snack at night. Oh my god, Fox couldn't remember the last time Dumbledore provided him with a late-night snack.
So Fox happily ate it.
Snape took out boneless dried eels, gillweed and other stolen potions from his arms. Fox accepted all the potions and ate them happily. Phoenix is not picky about food, as long as it is rich in magic, it will eat it.
Like to eat.
Looking at Fawkes who was eating happily, Snape who was expressionless, and Flitwick who suddenly had a keen interest in office decoration, Dumbledore sighed, took Snape aside, and subsidized him.
of losses.
Of course, Dumbledore himself did not believe that Fawkes could do such a thing, and there was something fishy about this incident. But in the end, the incident could only be characterized as follows: a wild or domestic phoenix was hungry in the middle of the night and happened to appear in
Hogwarts Castle happened to discover Snape's storage, so he stole some potion materials. The kind-hearted Phoenix also left behind the human currency he found...
This conjecture is more suitable to be included in a bedtime story to coax the little wizard to sleep.
After dealing with these matters, the three professors each returned to their bedrooms and continued to rest. The instigator of this incident was brewing a potion in the Room of Requirement. Naturally, they did not choose an office because they felt guilty and were afraid that Snape would come to their door.
Come.
Tom added 3 parts of the African tree snake skin fragments into the crucible, and then added the ground bicorn powder, followed by high-temperature heating and a long boiling process.
At this point, the polyjuice potion is almost ready. After the potion is brewed, Tom only needs to add a spoonful of lacewings and stir counterclockwise three times to harvest the finished polyjuice potion.
Tom showed a satisfied smile: This semester will be extremely free and fulfilling!
As a result, when Tom returned to the office, he discovered that Lockhart's class schedule for this semester had been sent to him. This semester can indeed be fulfilling, but don't even think about freedom.
The class schedule given to him by Dumbledore was full of classes every day. On average, there were nearly four classes a day!
If he goes to class according to this schedule, Tom won't have to think about freedom or freedom. It's good if he doesn't die suddenly. You know, this is not a 40-minute class, but an hour-long class, and he has to go up and teach it himself! Listen!
A one-hour class and a one-hour lecture are two completely different concepts.
