Chapter 34
"......I suddenly remembered that I promised Draco to go to Greece during the holidays...I..." Thorne immediately changed his words.
But before he could finish, Dumbledore interrupted him and said, "Don't give me that, he doesn't eat children, and I just asked you to help deliver a letter, what are you afraid of?"
"Uh...I'm a little more curious than this...Why don't you go by yourself?" Thorne raised his eyes and asked.
"Aren't I going to a meeting?"
"Fawkes took you around the world, and it wouldn't take more than two minutes to deliver a letter?" Thorne complained.
"Well, I wrote him a letter before, and we had a little argument in the letter...You know?" Dumbledore suddenly said awkwardly.
".........Argued?"
"Hmm...Hmm?" Dumbledore looked at Thorne in shock.
"I found my grandfather's diary in the Black Vault, and the records in it are very detailed." Thorne said.
"Okay... keep this secret."
"Well... okay."
"Huh... maybe I need your help after delivering the letter. It's a prison after all. Where can I help him buy some daily necessities?" Dumbledore added.
"That... I haven't agreed yet."
"Just treat it as your Christmas gift to a 100-year-old man. Please."
"... remember to reimburse."
"Of course." Dumbledore nodded.
"Anything else?" Thorne asked.
"Also, you may be able to learn a few tricks from him during Christmas. After all, you will probably have close contact with Tom after Christmas, so it is necessary to learn a few tricks for self-defense." Dumbledore continued.
"Why can't I let you teach directly?" Thorne asked.
"I don't have any accomplishments in flesh magic, but Getler did study flesh magic for some things in his early years." Dumbledore explained.
"Is that so? How about you write him a note? Otherwise, I'm too shameless to ask him to teach me without any words." Thorne said again.
"It depends on you. If he likes you, he will chase you and teach you something." Dumbledore said faintly.
"If he doesn't like me, I chase him and he won't say a word to me?" Thorne continued.
"Hmm."
".......Maybe I should ask Professor Snape for some love potion." Thorne said faintly.
".....Although he is not very good at potions...but I don't think this is necessary." Dumbledore said with his eyelids twitching.
"Jealous?"
"...Get out!"
"Get out if you want to!" Thorne stuck out his tongue and murmured as he walked out of the principal's office.
Standing in the corridor in silence for half a minute, he was thinking. After half a minute, he realized it and walked towards Snape's office without looking back.
Dong Dong Dong.
"Come in!"
"Professor Snape~" Thorne walked in sweetly.
"......Speak!" Snape said in an extremely cold voice.
"Do you have any love potion here?" Thorne asked.
"Get out!!!"
"Oh." Thorne stuck out his tongue and was about to leave Snape's office decadently, but was called back by Snape halfway.
"Who do you want the love potion for?" Snape asked.
"Myself." Thorne said frankly.
"......Who is it for?" Snape asked again.
"Don't worry, it's not a woman." Thorne replied.
"......" Snape was silent for a moment and then said: "Do you still need love potion?"
"We? Me and who?" Thorne asked a little confused when he heard Snape say that.
"Malfoy...who else could it be?" Snape said with a stiff face.
"............It's not him, it's really not him. I want this love potion and it has nothing to do with love. I just need to use this thing to get someone. I definitely don't have any other dirty ideas." Thorne added.
"Well..." Snape's eyes were still sharp.
"Really! You believe me!"
"... You should have "Advanced Potion Refining Second Edition" right?" Snape said.
"Yes."
"Page 56, if you are short of materials, you can come to me to get it. Let's go." Snape waved his hand and the door of the office was pushed open by a huge force.
"So I can't get it for free?" Thorne asked.
"It's good enough that I give you the materials for free!" Snape growled.
"OKOK, thank you professor... praise Snape." Thorne saidQuietly walked out of the office and closed the door.
After leaving the office, Thorne went straight back to the dormitory, found his crucible in the pile of debris in the corner of the dormitory, and found the "Advanced Potion Refining Second Edition" mentioned by Snape and turned to page 56. What caught his eye was the method of refining the love potion and...
[God of Swords, Shadowless, use on enemies. 】
Thorne was a little confused when he saw this passage, and quickly turned the book to the first page, and the name of the Half-Blood Prince came into his sight.
"Fate... is indescribable." Thorne murmured, but he still knew the main and the secondary. After memorizing the spell of God of Swords, he began to study the refining of love potions.
In theory, potions are considered science. As long as the steps and ingredients are correct, the success of this potion is unquestionable, but some potions that are related to emotions are very special.
When refining these potions, not only the correct ingredients and steps are required, but the most fucked up thing is that it also requires the special emotions of the refiner.
And one of the epitome of this kind of fucking potion is this love potion.
After an unknown amount of time, Draco, who had been playing outside, returned to the dormitory. Seeing Thorne studying hard at the desk, he walked over curiously, and then.........
"Thorne... I think, love is something that he can't force." Draco said carefully.
"Huh? What do you mean? What nonsense are you talking about?" Thorne asked with a puzzled look.
"I ask you... what are you looking at?" Draco asked.
"Love potion... can you clean up the dirty thoughts in your mind? This is not for women." Thorne said speechlessly with his half-moon eyes open.
"It's not for women..." Draco began to ponder this sentence, and as he pondered, he began to move away from Thorne unconsciously.
"Can you be more serious?" Thorne complained.
"Hmm!!!" Draco shook his head.
"I really just want to get someone, just to improve my impression, please believe me!" Thorne said anxiously.
"......."
"Please believe me!"
