Chapter 272 APTX-4869 (Acridine for a monthly ticket)
Lily...
Snape's eyes were dazed again.
It must be said that the quiet underground classroom is a very easy place to draw people into memories.
Especially, after a tiring teaching task all day long, he was caught off guard and accidentally poked the softest name in his heart again - the more Snape resisted that memory from the bottom of his heart, the more it would
Becoming more and more profound.
In his absence, Snape seemed to have returned to ten years ago in an instant, back to that cruel rainy night in the ruins of the broken and messy house. He held Lily's cold body and could do nothing but cry loudly...
"That's enough, I'm just a Potions professor, Miss Kaslana."
Snape took a deep breath, a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes, and spoke in a particularly stiff tone.
"For questions about cultivating flowers and plants, you should ask Professor Sprout..."
After ten years of teaching at Hogwarts, Snape had learned how to better protect a person.
And unknowingly, his magic attainments have reached a very advanced level. Although he has never really competed, he thinks that he will not lose to the other three deans - if he puts his best effort, even if
Faced with Voldemort head-on, Snape was confident that he could deal with it and delay it for a long time.
It's a pity that Lily, whom he once wanted to protect at all costs, is gone forever.
"But……"
Elena raised her head and was about to say something. When her eyes inadvertently touched Snape's slump and the vague look of pain in the man's eyes, her heart suddenly twitched and she subconsciously stopped her words.
Xiaodaimao lay down softly and said softly.
"……I see."
Obviously, most of the people in the "Snape Strategy Team" made a fatal mistake that they took for granted - Snape did not like lilies. If you think about it carefully, he really had no reason to like lilies.
Severus Snape could clearly tell the difference between a plant and the real Lily Evans, just as he had always been able to clearly distinguish Harry Potter from Lily Evans.
Same as separate.
For Professor Snape, he is never willing and will never replace Lily with anything as his spiritual sustenance - therefore, whether it is a potted lily or Harry, every appearance is actually a stick inserted in the tree.
The knife in Snape's heart.
Elena bit her lip, silently took back the lily pot in her hand, carefully placed it behind her, glanced at the row of bright green potions lined up on the podium, and suddenly opened her mouth to change the topic in another direction.
.
"So, Professor, can you teach me more about potions?"
"Potions knowledge?"
Snape's expression softened slightly and he raised his eyebrows.
"It depends on what you want to ask. It's not a good thing to be too ambitious. No matter what your previous self-study progress is, I don't think you should start involving too much advanced potion knowledge too early."
"Actually, it's just some questions about the shrinking potion."
Elena pointed at the podium, her face gradually became serious, and her lake-blue eyes shone with a strange light.
"The textbook only records how to brew the process, and does not provide an accurate introduction to the effect of the potion. I would like to know the relationship between the magical effect that the shrinking potion can produce and the dosage, as well as its different application ranges.
Performance below..."
To be precise, this is the first real "magic potion" that Elena has come into contact with.
Compared with magic spells that are subject to personal talents, potions has always been a subject that is underestimated by everyone - in Elena's view, if the non-magical world and the magical world are to be integrated for the first time, then the final
A good entry point must be a magic potion that has no threshold for use and understanding.
In fact, the first moment she saw the description of the "Shrinking Potion" in the textbook, Elena's mind immediately flashed to a figure of the Grim Reaper wearing glasses who was trapped in a time cycle, and a very similar description to that paragraph.
.
[When we tried dry distillation and purification, we found that it has the function of inducing programmed metabolic rupture of cells. Most people who take it will die directly. However, in a very small probability, it will strengthen the activity of telomerase and increase the proliferation ability of cells.
There is a phenomenon that all cells in the skeleton, muscles, internal organs, and hair of the subject except the nervous system degenerate to the juvenile stage. According to the experiment number, the drug is named APTX-4869.]
According to Professor Snape's previous introduction in class, during the process of brewing the shrinking potion, if there is an imbalance in the proportion of potion materials, the brewed potion will usually be extremely toxic.
——Maybe for wizards, it is not directly fatal at a certain dose, but for non-magical creatures like toads, just a few drops are enough to be fatal.
Of course, if it is a perfect finished product, it only takes a few drops to temporarily turn a toad that has completed metamorphosis into a vibrant tadpole.
Theoretically speaking, as long as this potion is further studied and improved, the final form it can derive should be the legendary one that is enough to drive most people crazy...
"I know what you are thinking, Miss Kaslana, the rejuvenation potion. Right?"
Snape walked to the podium, picked up a bottle of shrinking potion, shook it, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of fun.
During his long career in potion research, there were many thoughtful potion masters who would focus on shrinking potions. After all, compared to the obscure and profound alchemy, the threshold for potions is undoubtedly much lower.
.
Therefore, regarding Elena's question, Snape only needed to observe the look in the girl's eyes for a moment to guess what she wanted to ask - a potions genius who could assist and guide those clumsy third-year Pipi shrimps.
, it is absolutely normal to notice this.
"Eh? Is it really okay?"
Elena blinked and asked in surprise.
"Of course not."
Snape replied without hesitation, put down the shrinking potion in his hand, and said with a serious face.
"Human emotions and thoughts are too complex. Drinking the shrinking potion rashly may damage memory and thoughts to a certain extent. As far as I know, there are at least two people living on the fifth floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies.
Idiots who want to use shrinking potions to rejuvenate their youth - of course, they took too much at once, causing permanent damage."
In fact, the most dangerous profession in the entire wizarding world is not what people usually think of as Aurors.
The accidental mortality rate of lone potion masters and spell masters has always been at a very high value - the more outstanding wizards, the more likely they are to die young, because of their curiosity and the damage they can cause.
The power is usually several times or even hundreds of times that of ordinary wizards.
At this time, it is very necessary to have someone who can correct and stop the death-seeking behavior at any time.
After all, the development of Potions and Charms can be said to be based on dense death lists. The importance of remembering the various causes of death of our ancestors is even more important than remembering the correct process of brewing potions.
important.
However, Snape's worries were obviously unnecessary.
For Elena, who has seen later university laboratories, it is absolutely impossible to directly use herself for human experiments. If she wants to extend her life, she can ask "grandpa" to talk to Mr. Hohenheim.
Emotional - not to mention, her urgent desire now is to grow up as soon as possible. Compared to rejuvenating her youth, she is more eager to increase her age.
In fact, Elena was thinking about another issue at this time.
"In other words, it can work with toads, but it can't work with humans, right..."
Elena tapped the table with her fingers and asked thoughtfully.
"So, what if it's for animals that are larger than toads? For example, feeding dogs, or feeding snakes..."
