And Australian Ocellated Dragon Eggshell... This thing is the main ingredient of the berserk potion, right? How dare he write it in? Does he really think that others don't understand potions at all?
And the numbers behind that.
Fifty ounces of mandrake juice. If all of this were brewed into a magic suppressant potion, it would be enough for the entire school to drink for a week.
The horns of erinaceus are ground into powder and sold on the market, but Snape buys them by the horn, five horns at that. Doesn't he know how expensive this thing is?
What's up? Are you here to buy goods from him?
At this time, Dumbledore also understood why Snape came to him for his signature.
Given Professor McGonagall's personality, she would definitely not agree to such an outrageous order, or maybe Snape didn't even go to find Professor McGonagall, but came directly to him.
"Severus..." Dumbledore thought for a moment and decided to give Snape another chance. He asked tentatively, "These are the ingredients for brewing the magic-suppressing potion."
Snape nodded and said calmly, "Yes, Headmaster."
Dumbledore: "Then what is this Australian Ocellated Dragon eggshell..."
Snape: "This is a new recipe I'm trying."
“That’s too many.”
"Please forgive me, Headmaster." Snape said as a matter of course, "I haven't brewed a magic suppressant potion for a long time. It's normal to make a few mistakes, so the materials must be sufficient."
"It seems that I have no reason to object anymore." Dumbledore picked up a scarlet feather pen and signed his name on the parchment in two strokes.
"Mr. Michael will appreciate your generosity, Headmaster Dumbledore." Snape raised his eyebrows slightly.
After taking the parchment filled with private goods, Snape couldn't wait to fill up his own private storage room... No, he should have been brewing potions for Mikel.
But at this time, Dumbledore said intentionally or unintentionally: "Severus, what do you think of Kyle?"
"Kyle?" The smugness on Snape's face disappeared, and he said with a hint of mockery: "What plans do you have now? The great Headmaster Dumbledore."
"No, no, no, Severus, I think you misunderstood. This is just a normal reaction of a headmaster when he sees an outstanding student. If you don't want to say it, forget it."
Dumbledore picked up a cockroach-shaped candy and threw it into his mouth. He also gave one to Snape considerately: "Would you like to try it? It tastes very good."
"No need," said Snape disgustedly.
He really couldn't understand why Dumbledore liked this kind of bizarre-looking thing when there were so many kinds of candy in the wizarding world.
This stuff looks even more disgusting than the slime of the philoprogenitor caterpillar.
Dumbledore acted as if he didn't see his disgusted expression and continued to talk to himself, "He is kind, brave, honest, and calm in times of crisis. Hogwarts hasn't had such an outstanding first-year wizard for a long time.
I remember her mother Diana was also in Slytherin, and she was only one year older than you."
"Shut up!"
Hearing this, Snape's eyes twitched suddenly, and he said gloomily: "Never mention that name in front of me, never! Never! Do it!"
When he said the last few words, Snape even roared.
This made the portraits of all the former headmasters extremely dissatisfied, and they all accused Snape of being disrespectful and daring to talk back to the headmaster.
Unfortunately, Snape ignored them.
He even dared to yell at the current principal, so why would he be afraid of those paintings?
Only when you give them face can you call them the principal. If you don't give them face, they are just a piece of torn paper, too hard to even wipe a crucible.
"I didn't expect that it's been so long since that happened, but you still remember it."
Dumbledore also ignored the noisy portraits and sighed softly, "But Severus, even now, I still think you were wrong at that time.
Diana is a very well-mannered girl. If you hadn’t said those dirty words to Chris, why would she block you in the common room every day…”
"boom!"
Before Dumbledore could finish his words, he was interrupted by a loud slam of the door.
The noise was so loud that even Fawkes, the sleeping phoenix next to him, was startled. He flapped his wings hard in the direction Snape left to express his dissatisfaction at being woken up.
"Pfft..."
Seeing Snape's angry back, a fat wizard portrait suddenly couldn't help laughing. But after seeing Dumbledore's playful eyes, he immediately covered his mouth and ran away to another frame.
Dumbledore comforted Fawkes and muttered softly, "Really? How come as I get older, I like to reminisce about the past more and more..."
"Ha, hypocrisy."
On the wall, the goateed former headmaster Phoenix Nigellus Black couldn't help but say, "Don't think I don't know, you did it on purpose. Look at how stingy you are. Little Snape just asked for a little more potion material. It's not a big deal. When I was the headmaster, it was...
Wait, Dumbledore, what do you want to do? Can't I just stop talking? Don't come over here!"

Chapter 32 Helpful Hufflepuff (Please collect and recommend)
On the other hand, because the get out of class was over when Kyle came out of the school hospital, he did not go to the spells classroom, but went directly to the library.
Dumbledore had just recommended two books to him, saying that they were very helpful for casting basic spells and very suitable for new wizards, so Kyle planned to borrow them and take a look.
The library is located on the second floor and is easy to find. You only need to go up one flight of stairs.
"Two books? No!" Madam Pince, the librarian, looked at Kyle with a scrutinizing gaze while holding a feather duster. "Unless you have a note from the professor, you can only borrow one book at a time."
"If you want one book, then I'd borrow 'Hanging with Ghouls.'" Kyle didn't think too much about it and quickly told the title of the book.
But what he didn't expect was that when he heard the words "Traveling with Ghouls", Madam Pince's face suddenly showed an expression of great disgust, as if she had heard some vicious swear words.
"Another Lockhart book," muttered Madam Pince.
She didn't like the author Gilderoy Lockhart, or rather, she didn't like his extremely self-centered writing style, which in her opinion was just sensationalism.
If it were just these, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, many biographies are like this too. You can still read on if you're patient.
But for some reason, when she read Rohart's book, she always felt that something was missing, so that many parts were incoherent.
Although this problem is not serious and does not affect reading, Mrs. Pings just feels very uncomfortable, and she feels uncomfortable every time she thinks about it.
Therefore, her impression of Kyle dropped a lot. After a moment of silence, she said with a straight face, "'Traveling with Ghouls' has been borrowed. If you register now, you will be able to get it in about two years."
"Two years... Let's forget it." Kyle shook his head and said, "What about "The Bard in the Wind"? "
"Yes." Madam Pince's expression relaxed a lot. She asked Kyle to wait here and walked straight to the row of bookshelves next to her.
Taking advantage of this moment, Kyle curiously looked at the famous librarian from the side.
Madam Pince was a thin, elderly woman who looked like a malnourished vulture. Wherever she walked, the little wizards who were reading books dared not even breathe.
A little wizard seemed to be too nervous and couldn't help sneezing, so he was kicked out of the library.
Kyle smacked his lips. No wonder she became Filch's rumored lover. They really looked a good match. Not only were they both law-abiding, but they also both hated students.
Not long after, Madam Pince returned and handed Kyle a thick hardcover book and a note.
"You must return it within a week. If you exceed the deadline or the book is damaged, you will never be able to borrow any book from here again."
"I will remember."
……
Since freshmen only had one class in the morning, Kyle went straight back to the common room after coming out of the library, ready to find a more comfortable place to read what was written in the book.
But as soon as he passed through the barrel door, he was surrounded by people.
Almost all the Hufflepuff freshmen gathered in the common room, waiting for Kyle to come back.
"How is it, Kyle?" Ryan was the first to rush over and asked anxiously, "Is Mikel okay? We wanted to go to the school hospital to see him, but we were driven out by Madam Pomfrey as soon as we entered the door."
The other little wizards also nodded. Although they had suffered a lot because of the accident in the Charms class, they were still very concerned about Mikel's situation.
This is probably Hufflepuff.
"Don't worry." Kyle patted Ryan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Professor Dumbledore has already checked it and said that he can be discharged from the hospital after taking the medicine tomorrow."
"That's good, that's good." Ryan was obviously relieved. After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is Mikel awake? Did he say what he wanted to eat? Although we can't send it to him now, we can prepare it in advance and send it to him when he is discharged from the hospital. He will definitely be very happy."
Ryan's statement was also recognized by other young wizards. They all donated generously and took out their treasured things.
"I have raspberry preserves here!"
“I have fudge here.”
"How about cookies? My mom made them. They are delicious."
"I think he wants some licorice..."
……
For a moment, even Kyle was moved by the strong friendship among classmates. In the expectant eyes of everyone, he said in a deep voice: "Mikel didn't say what he wanted to eat, but I think what he wants most now is not these snacks, but not to delay his studies!"
"Without affecting your studies?" Ryan scratched his head, not understanding what Kyle meant.
"Yes." Kyle said seriously: "You should have seen that Mikel's accident happened because he was anxious and couldn't complete the spell. That's right."
"That's right." Ryan nodded.
Although his attention was on his wand at the time and he didn't know how the blinding "flash bomb" appeared, in his opinion, everyone was practicing spells at the time, and Mikel was no exception, so it was okay for Kyle to say that.
"That's right." Kyle said seriously, "He is such a strong person, he definitely doesn't want to have two less classes than others.
So what we have to do now is to listen carefully in the Transfiguration class this afternoon and the History of Magic class tomorrow morning, write down everything the professor says, and organize it into notes for Mikkel. I believe he will be moved to tears. "
In the huge Hufflepuff common room, you could hear a pin drop. The little badgers looked at each other, but no one spoke.
It was hard for them to believe that there were people who didn't like snacks but liked studying. But after thinking carefully about what Kyle had said... they couldn't find any flaws.
It's well-organized, logical, and sounds like there's absolutely no problem with it.
Maybe... Mikel really loves magic.
The little badgers thought so and soon convinced themselves.
Afterwards, some people volunteered to take notes, and some were responsible for the final arrangement...
The remaining few little wizards who had not grabbed a task but wanted to help got together to discuss for a while and soon found a task that Kyle had overlooked.
Operation!
At Hogwarts, homework is essential for any course, and its importance is self-evident.
So they decided to tell Mikel the homework for each class, and not only that, they also told the professors in class that Mikel was an excellent Hufflepuff, and that even though he was in the school hospital, he still cared about his studies and would not be lazy and not do his homework.
