Believe it!
Suddenly, Snape realized something. No matter how talented a Muggle-born wizard was, he couldn't figure out the application of the Silent Spell on his own. Moreover, learning the Silent Spell didn't require money at all. What he needed was the proficiency and talent of the corresponding spell. What did it have to do with Galleons?
Leon saw the rapid change in Snape's expression and immediately realized that he had reacted. His brain worked quickly, and then he blurted out a wonderful excuse.
"Well, actually, I met an old wizard, I gave him money, he taught me spells.”
Rather than being questioned by Snape, Leon might as well go up and disturb the clear water himself. The white-bearded old man's routine was very suitable for blocking the muzzle.
"Old Magus?" Snape was stunned.
"Yes, old Magus. I don't know where I'm from, nor do I know where I'm going.”Leon added mysteriously.
"This…" Obviously, Snape, who grew up in the West, had not experienced the tricks of the Eastern web. He could not understand what Leon meant by the old wizard.
"Ahem, can we not talk about this, Professor?”Leon broke Snape's train of thought with a small cough.
"You spoke first." Snape's face was stern again. Although he didn't seem to care, he was quite curious about the old wizard Leon mentioned."So, you plan to sell these potions to pay your debts?”
"Yes, how much can you sell?”Leon asked.
"Twenty gold coins." said Snape. He had overpaid for both potions. Delightful Potions and Tranquilizer were commonly used potions, and there were spells that could produce the same effect. The most expensive one was still the Love Potion, which he did not know if it had been spiked.
"Twenty gold coins is still money.”Leon wasn't too surprised. If the three bottles of potions were all Felix Felicity Potions, perhaps the price would be higher.
Snape looked at Leon with pity. He owed such a huge sum of money at such a young age, but he had no intention of helping Leon. After all, he was not familiar with Leon. He treated Leon well in some aspects only because Leon was a Slytherin student and was talented.
"Where can I sell it?" Leon asked again.
"You can hand it over to me. I will provide some finished products from the potion shop every month. I can sell these to you, but I have to verify the quality of the potion first. I will give you the money after they settle the bill.”Snape didn't mind helping, and he wanted to see how other people's potions differed from his own.
"What about this thing?" Leon took out a transparent glass bottle from his wallet again. It was pale green, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing.
"This is?" Snape took it straight away, opened the bottle, and took a sniff. His face immediately changed.
"The venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider is very pure, and it seems to be extracted from a living body. Where did you get it?”
Leon saw that Snape had recognized the Jungler and couldn't help but sigh at the fact that the title of Potion Master wasn't for nothing. He said,""That old Magus gave it to me. He said that I have a talent for magic potions, so he gave me this thing to experiment with.”
"Nonsense. The venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider is extremely toxic. Without rich experience in handling it and neutralizing the poisonous gas it emits, an ordinary person might be poisoned immediately. It's only because you haven't opened the bottle cap yet that you might have died by now.”Snape shouted at Leon with a livid face.
Although Snape's words were not pleasant to hear, Leon felt that his professor was reliable. Wasn't this a kind of concern? It seemed that Snape wasn't that dark after all. No wonder he was a bootlicker. Ah, he was a lovestruck one.
"Hehe, so I'll leave this to you. Take a look at how much it's worth.”Leon rubbed his hands, and his face was full of flattery. He was in dire need of blood.
"The venom of a living Eight-eyed Giant Spider is very active. Generally, the venom of an Eight-eyed Giant Spider on the market is extracted from a dead Eight-eyed Giant Spider. This is considered a high-end product. A pint of it is about two hundred gold coins. The exact price depends on whether the potion master needs it or not, but the basic price can be stabilized at one hundred and eighty gold coins.”Professor Snape replied.
"Do you have any needs?" Leon's hand rubbed even harder.
"Yes, the venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider has a wide range of uses. All kinds of antidotes and powerful potions are needed.”Snape nodded, then looked at Leon, who had a money-grubbing look on his face."I'll accept it for two hundred Galleons."
"Sure, but I wonder if you still need it in the later stages? We can establish a long-term cooperative relationship.”Leon was overjoyed and quickly asked.
"Where can you guarantee that you can stably obtain the venom of a living Eight-eyed Giant Spider?”Snape froze.
"I have my own channels." Leon answered confidently.
When Snape heard this, he immediately remembered something and roared at Leon,"Don't even think about those eight-eyed spiders in the forest, you're no match for them, they're a whole pack, and little wizards are forbidden from going near the forest, if you go, I'll have Dumbledore expel you.”
"Not to the forest, Professor, you're overthinking it. I mean, free sex from that old wizard.”Leon said half-heartedly. As for whether he heard it or not, only he knew.
"It's best to cut off that kind of unknown Magus. Although he seems to have taught you a lot of things, letting a potion rookie like you directly use the venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider as a research material definitely doesn't have good intentions.”Snape advised, then put away the bottle of venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider, along with the three bottles of magic potions that Leon had taken out earlier.
"Come to my office tonight to get the money. Now, go eat.”
After packing up, Snape impatiently waved Leon away. Leon didn't force him. He smiled at Snape and left.
Looking at the empty Potions classroom, Snape was silent for a moment. He suddenly felt that he was quite strange just now. He clearly had the simplest teacher-student relationship with Leon, but for some reason, he always wanted to help this kid. He even warned this kid about the dangers that he might face. This was completely unlike his style.
He was just a young wizard who had just entered school. Even if he died in the Forbidden Forest, it should have nothing to do with him. However, Snape felt that he should give this kid a friendly warning.
Thinking of this, Snape was stunned. Then, he seemed to understand something. He sighed helplessly and muttered,"So I thought this kid was my old self.”
