Snape's office was also in the basement, not far from the Potions classroom.
The office was dimly lit, and the shelves against the wall were filled with countless glass specimen jars. There was a small door on the left, but the door was closed.
Aylwin guessed that it contained some of Snape's treasured materials.
There was an experiment table in the middle of the room with all kinds of medicinal herbs on it.
At a glance, Aylwin recognized that it was the material of the Intelligence Potion.
The Intelligence Potion was used to recall memories deep in the mind.
If you forget something, drink a bottle and you'll remember every word.
It was definitely something that plagiarists who traveled through parallel worlds dreamed of.
This potion was very precious in the magic world, and even seventh-year students might not have access to it.
Many dark Magi liked this thing very much. It was the Intelligence Potion and the Veritaserum. She could definitely make people tell her how many times they had peed on the bed when they were young. It was perfect for interrogating some secrets.
But Aylwin didn't care. Maybe Snape hadn't had time to pack up. He was more concerned about why the old bat had called him over.
Snape put the rest of the class's materials into a large trunk.
Then he looked at Aylwin.
"Gaunt, what are you waiting for? Use the materials on the table to make me a portion of the Intelligence Potion. I don't have many materials in stock, so you only have one chance.”
Snape's voice was as cold and emotionless as ever.
Aylwin was dumbfounded. What did he mean? Was the old bat looking for child labor?
Wasn't he afraid that he would make a mistake and destroy a set of materials?
Some of the ingredients for the intelligence boost were very expensive. The feathers of the Silent Bird were 15 Galleons each, and the venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider was 100 Galleons per pint.
There were also some other materials, and the total cost of these raw materials was 150 Galleons. It was almost as good as a Nimbus Two Thousand. (Nimbus 2000 set price 200 Galleons, Firebolt 1500 Galleons.)）
"Professor, aren't you afraid that I'll mess up the potion?”
Aylwin tried to reason with Snape.
Unfortunately, Snape did not receive this signal
"If you screw it up, make me 10 bottles of Joy Potion as compensation.”
"F * ck!"
Aylwin cursed in his heart. Happy Potion was sold at 20 Galleons per bottle on the market, and the raw materials were not expensive.
Snape was not at a disadvantage.
Aylwin knew he couldn't resist, so he walked to the experiment table and started refining.
The ones that needed to be crushed were crushed, and the ones that needed to be diced were diced.
Aylwin's hand was as steady as a unicorn's arm. Every material was processed to the extreme, and even the standard of the particles was almost perfect.
Following that, he mixed a portion of the materials according to the order and added them into the crucible. He started to boil it.
Then, he used magic to stir it appropriately, constantly testing the critical point, and then added the next portion of materials.
Just like that, three hours passed in a flash.
......
Snape's face was impassive, but his heart was racing. How did this kid become stronger?
Snape had called Aylwin over today, at Dumbledore's request, to give the boy a special treat.
Although Snape always gave Aylwin extra food in class. But he also admired Aylwin's talent in magic potions, so he would increase the difficulty every time to see what Aylwin's limit was.
He didn't expect Aylwin to grow so fast. Now he could even make the Intelligence Potion, which he wouldn't have learned before graduation.
He wanted to show Aylwin his power and kill his spirit, but he was slapped in the face.
Snape's so worried now that he knows how to use Intelligence Potions, what else can I teach him? Was he really going to take out his trump card?
After a while, Aylwin was sweating profusely. He put the golden liquid into the bottle. He then looked at Snape eagerly.
Snape said nothing. He walked straight to the lab table and picked up the bottle full of potions. He looked around.
Yes, it was golden in color with a hint of red light. It was a qualified bottle of intelligence increasing agent. Moreover, it belonged to a pretty good level.
"If you add the venom of the Eight-eyed Giant Spider and stir it three times counterclockwise before adding the Colt Tree Root, this potion will be upgraded to a higher level."
"But the book 'Crazy Pharmaceutics' says that adding it directly will make the medicinal ingredients fuse faster.”
Aylwin refuted Snape subconsciously, but then he realized something had happened.
"Two points from Ravenclaw for peeking at books in the Restricted Section. Don't let me find you sneaking into the forbidden area again. Otherwise, I'll deduct 50 points from you.”
Snape's voice rang out with a hint of schadenfreude.
Aylwin knew it was true.
This book was a book in the forbidden book area. It would have been fine if he had not mentioned its name. He could have even said that he had obtained the prescription from somewhere else.
However, mentioning the title of the book was equivalent to confessing.
Snape was even happier when he saw Aylwin lowering his head and not saying anything. Even his words had a hint of warmth.
"That book was published before I went to school. It's outdated now. As a wizard, you have to keep exploring. Don't believe everything you read."
"You know, even the books in the Forbidden Book Area were written by wizards."
After hearing Snape's words, Aylwin didn't show any change on the surface, but he agreed with him in his heart.
Although Aylwin was extremely talented now, his research on potions was still limited to the extent of following the textbook.
Snape, on the other hand, had embarked on his own path early on, reaching the realm of believing in books rather than not reading.
Glancing at Aylwin, who was deep in thought, Snape walked to the side door. He opened the door and put the Intelligence Potion in a small compartment inside.
He thought for a moment, then walked to his desk, took out a notebook from the drawer, and handed it to Aylwin.
Aylwin took the notebook. Although it looked a little old, it was well preserved.
After flipping through it, Aylwin knew that it was the Half-Blood Prince's notebook in the sixth book.
Harry had learned a great deal about Potions and spells.
It was also at that time that he was able to widen the gap between him and ordinary wizards.
Aylwin pretended not to know and casually said after he finished reading.
"The Half-Blood Prince's notebook? Professor, whose notebook is this? You're so narcissistic and call yourself a prince?”
Snape's face darkened at this. He roared,
"Get out of my office! Gaunt!"
Aylwin secretly smiled. Knowing that the counterattack was successful, he didn't want to die and was ready to run away.
But just as he opened the door and walked out, Snape's voice rang in his ears again.
