Chapter 427 Severus Snape (2)
Yun Ci had a good first impression of Lily Evans. She was a very enthusiastic girl, and as the first person to extend a hand of friendship to her, Yun Ci didn't mind giving something back.
After all, there is no hatred between the two people.
Severus Snape, a good friend of Lily Evans, did not participate in this invitation because he was a boy.
The girl named Mary Freeman accompanied Yun Ci home with Lily Evans.
Mary Freeman is also an enthusiastic little lion. She has handsome short hair and is very lively. She is good friends with Lily Evans because she is from the Muggle world like Lily Evans.
The two of them felt a little emotional as they followed Yun Ci along the path leading to the Forbidden Forest. After all, this was a place that Headmaster Dumbledore had expressly forbidden people from going to - although many people would secretly go to the Forbidden Forest to explore.
But that's just in private, isn't it?
Lily Evans looked at the strange building at the edge of the Forbidden Forest and touched the wall in surprise.
“Is this bamboo?”
"Correct."
Yunci walked towards the steps and the bamboo door opened automatically, revealing the warmly decorated interior.
This is the magic weapon hut that Yun Ci refined for this world. The bamboo used is all produced in the space and is very sturdy.
“This is the first time I’ve seen purple bamboo.”
Lily Evans stepped onto the bamboo steps curiously and rubbed them tentatively with the soles of her shoes. They were not as slippery as she had imagined. If she looked closely, she could see some fine lines on the bamboo, which were not carved but the result of natural growth.
Mary Freeman followed closely with curiosity. She looked at the futons, low tables, calligraphy and paintings, and other interior decorations in the room: "Is this the style of China? It's so beautiful. What are these used for?"
Yun Ci was the first to sit down at the tea table. She took out some walnut charcoal and put it in a small clay stove to ignite it. She then boiled some water and looked at the talisman that Mary Freeman was pointing at. She said, "That's a talisman. There are no wizards in China, but there are Taoists. For us, it's probably equivalent to your magic wand?"
Lily Evans noticed that there was a door on the east wall of the living room, but judging from the appearance, this small reception room occupied all of it. She sat down awkwardly on the futon opposite Yun Ci.
"Is there any magic used here to expand the space?"
"Yes, that's where I live."
Yunci took a jar from the cabinet behind the tea table, put it in the teapot, and brewed it after the hot water boiled. Instantly, the fragrance of flowers and fruits filled the room.
“Smells so good.”
Pour light pink liquid into a transparent glass.
Lily Evans exclaimed: "What a beautiful color."
"This is my favorite fruit tea. I hope you don't mind it."
"How come?" Mary Freeman poked the hot cup wall, "But this... when is the best time to drink it?"
If you eat it now, you might get some blisters.
"This needs to be left for a while. You can drink it when it's not too hot." Yun Ci stood up and took out some biscuits from the cabinet on the other side. She put them on a plate and placed it in the middle of the tea table. "I made this."
After thanking him, Lily Evans picked up a piece of chocolate cookie and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes lit up: "You are amazing. You are 12 years old like us, but you can make such delicious cookies."
Yun Ci pursed her lips and smiled: "Because my master and I live in the mountains, it is not convenient to go down the mountain on weekdays. We rely entirely on self-sufficiency, so I know a lot of things."
The two girls praised Yun Ci highly. After resting for a while, they walked around the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest with Yun Ci and collected a lot of useful potion materials.
The two girls were a little excited to visit the forbidden forest so openly, but they still accompanied Yun Ci to the cafeteria for dinner before saying goodbye and returning to the dormitory to share their feelings with other good friends.
When Yun Ci walked back to the bamboo house, she saw an unexpected figure outside the house.
"It's you, Severus Snape."
Severus Snape was holding the parchment that he had lent to Yun Ci for use today. He seemed to be in a good mood, and his sallow face was less gloomy than during the day.
Yun Ci glanced at the other person's bulky robe and quickly stepped forward.
"You came to see me for something, right?" She walked past Severus Snape up the stairs and took the initiative to open the door. "If you don't mind, come in and talk."
Severus Snape clenched the parchment slightly, followed suit, sat down opposite Yun Ci, and went straight to the point.
The bait made from the potion that Yun Ci had deliberately left on the parchment successfully caught the small fish.
"——What is this material?"
"This is the material we have over there. I'm not sure if we have it here." Yun Ci smiled, "But I have some in stock. Do you want to try to mix it yourself?"
Severus Snape looked around: "Here?"
"No." Yun Ci stood up and pushed open the only door in the room. "Here."
The first thing Severus Snape saw when he looked through the door was a light green bed entwined by vines covered with small flowers.
And on the north wall belonging to the bedroom, there is another door.
Yun Ci pushed the door open again, revealing a large furnace inside.
Severus Snape stood up and followed, walking around the half-man-high alchemy furnace.
"Is this the crucible on your side?"
"It's actually called an alchemy furnace." Yun Ci came to the cabinet close to the wall, took out a small bottle of medicine and handed it to him, "This is a medicine for repairing external injuries."
Severus Snape wanted to pour out the so-called elixir to check, but then he remembered something and gave himself a 'clean up' before pouring a pea-sized elixir into his palm.
He held the pill in his hand and observed and sniffed it, but all he smelled was a faint fragrance similar to the one on Yun Ci's body. He had no idea what materials were used, nor did he know the efficacy of the medicine.
"All right."
Yun Ci's voice brought Severus Snape back to his senses from his research. He looked towards the corner by the window. Yun Ci had already packed up the crucible and other items for making potions, and the materials mentioned in the notes were also placed on the table next to him.
Severus Snape put the pill back into the small porcelain bottle, strode to the area he was familiar with, and scanned the various materials on the table with his cold and deep eyes.
"This is..."
The sound of their conversation about potions continued in the room.
Soon, the room temperature rose, and bursts of herbal fragrance drifted through the window, causing the three people who were wandering at night to stop and look in the direction where the fragrance came from.
"Over there... seems to be the forbidden forest?"
"It's where the special student lives."
The three boys looked at each other, and slowly approached the forbidden forest with a playful look. However, the moment they entered the bamboo house, they were entangled by several vines that came out of nowhere and hung on the tree like dumplings.
