Chapter 51

"You mean you can use this new method to cook lacewings in just seven days?"

Snape frowned and looked at the process diagram in front of him.

Devereux kept his eyes on the storage room behind him.

Rub your hands together from time to time.

There was an impatient look in his eyes.

Hear Snape's question.

Devereux struggled to look away from the storage room filled with potion ingredients.

He nodded in reply.

"Yes, the most important thing is that I replaced the skin of the African tree snake with the fangs of the bungara snake. Although this will increase the toxicity dozens of times, the finished product is indeed much faster, and the toxicity is difficult to deal with. It’s very easy, just take the detoxification pill within half an hour after taking the medicine.”

"Of course, the basis for doing this is still the formula I improved before. Reducing the use of double-eared grass has greatly reduced the body's rejection reaction."

Hearing Devereaux's understatement.

Snape glanced at Devereux solemnly.

Lying back on his soft leather seat.

Stare at the ceiling.

He put his hand on his forehead.

Shake his head slowly.

He murmured in his mouth.

"It's too dangerous, but..."

A long while passed.

Snape sat up straight on the back of his seat.

The whole person looked like he had just figured out a century-old problem.

"This idea of ​​yours... is very dangerous, but maybe you can really try it, but..."

At this time.

Snape seemed to have turned back into the big bat he was before.

His eyes suddenly became sharp.

Look at Devereux.

"How could you have such an idea? And how did you learn about the function of the bungara's fangs?"

Devereux's thoughts on himself.

That's full of confidence.

He spoke directly.

"Isn't this difficult to understand? I just met a patient before..."

wrong!

Devereaux suddenly remembered.

He came up with this idea after copying and loading Madam Pomfrey's entry.

A lot of Madam Pomfrey’s experience in treating illnesses and saving lives was used.

So how should I explain this? How do I know the poisonous nature of Bungara snake and the corresponding treatment methods?

Forehead.

Devereux was suddenly speechless.

See how he performs.

Snape narrowed his eyes.

Head stretched toward Devero.

It looks like a human-shaped poisonous snake.

"Alexander, my guess must be correct, can you..."

Snape's eyes were fixed on Devereaux.

Devereaux's back muscles tightened.

Afraid of being slapped accidentally.

What could Snape guess?

Guess he has an entry system?

Come on!

This makes him guess even if he guesses it for a hundred years!

But at this moment Snape's expression seemed to know something.

A slight sneer appeared.

"Did you sneak into the forbidden book area?"

"ah?"

Devereaux didn't realize what Snape was talking about for a moment.

"Stop pretending! Do you think I don't know what the books in the library are about?"

Snape's smile grew wider.

"European wizards have very little research on Bungarus, and there is no such content in our regular textbooks."

"And when I was in school, I had read through all the library books on potions and herbal medicines, and there was no mention of Bungara in them at all!"

Snape had the relaxed look of a winner on his face.

"But there happens to be a book like this in the restricted book section, "Records of Severe Magical Injuries at St. Mungo's Hospital". This book contains this case of a snake bite. You should have learned it from here, right?"

Hear this.

Devereaux couldn't help but want to applaud Snape.

Oh my gosh!

Where is the magic potion genius here?

This is Snape Kogoro! !

The process is all wrong.

The result was even more wrong!

But this can indeed explain why I suddenly know so much about medicine.

It's indeed a good excuse.

Devereaux nodded.

"Yes Professor, that's where I learned it."

Hear this.

Snape's sneer had spread all over his face.

Devereux suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Then, Mr. Alexander, since you violated school rules and entered the restricted book area without the teacher's permission, I will punish you with solitary confinement!"

Depend on!

Devereux was shocked.

This old bat is waiting for him!

"Professor... I am... doing research! You... can't do this!"

Devereaux immediately begged Snape for mercy.

I hope he can see what he has accomplished.

Give yourself a break.

Although for Devereaux's adult soul.

Such a thing as confinement.

Nothing.

But then the old bat will probably have to watch it himself.

That would be unbearable!

After hearing what Devereaux said.

Snape seemed to suddenly remember something.

He suppressed the sneer on his face.

I looked at the flow chart on the desk and thought about it.

Devereux watched his performance.

Eh?

Did Snape really listen to what he said?

Transitioned?

Don't you plan to confine him?

"You're going to come to my office every night for the next week."

Ah this!

A week of confinement!

Devereaux suddenly wanted to die.

This punishment is comparable to a pink toad!

"But Professor, I just went to the forbidden book area. This week is too heavy..."

Devereux knew the end was over.

Snape said so.

There was no way he could convince Snape.

But he still has to fight for it!

At least Saturday and Sunday should be reserved...

He still had to explore the castle.

"Oh? Indeed."

Snape nodded.

Devereaux looked at him in disbelief.

"You just walked into a place where there are thousands of ways to kill yourself and all the teachers and students in the school. Confinement for you is really too harsh. Otherwise, if I ask the principal, he may think that expulsion is a good option."

Hear this.

Devereaux lowered his head again.

This confinement is certain for him.

"Okay, I'll tell you everything I have to explain today. You can go back to sleep first."

I don't know why Snape put Devereux in confinement.

The mood seems to be particularly good.

"Psychopathic old bat!"

Devereux cursed inwardly.

Then he got up and prepared to leave.

He reluctantly glanced at the storage room again.

Plan for later when Snape is gone.

Come quickly and clear it out!

"Oh, by the way, next Friday afternoon, remember to make time, I will take you somewhere."

Snape waved his wand.

Suddenly, a quill on the table wrote something on the parchment.

"Professor, what are you taking me to?"

Devereaux asked cautiously.

Snape didn't reply.

Just after the quill finished writing a string of words.

Pick up the pen yourself.

Write your name on the parchment.

He stood up and handed it to Devereux.

"Okay, don't sneak into the restricted book area by yourself in the future. I have a quota that can be given to students. As for you, you can borrow one book a week."

Devereux looked down in surprise.

"You are allowed to enter the library and borrow any book without time limit."

Signed: Severus Snape.
