71. Seeking help from Snape



The next day, Magos, carrying the magic card, walked into Professor Flitwick's office during the lunch break.

He handed the magic card to the professor and described the problem in detail. Professor Flitwick looked at the magic card emitting colorful light and fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he sighed with emotion, "That kind of material is almost hard to see now. When I was still in school, a senior senior got it from somewhere. Ravenclaw used it to make those imitation bronze door knockers. It took a lot of material and financial resources. I didn't expect that there would be some materials left in the end, and you would actually use them."

For the last sentence, Magos could only giggle. Although the material gave them a very distressing question, its effect was undoubtedly huge. In general, they had earned it.

"I can help you solve this, and just add a magic spell to it." Professor Flitwick said confidently. "The ten magic spells on it are very well placed."

This sentence suppressed the words Magos was about to say that he could no longer insist on.He secretly cursed himself for being stupid. It was impossible for the professors to do things that some of their students could no longer do.

"Then please help me." He diligently picked up the tea on the table and handed it to Professor Flitwick.

The professor smiled and took a sip, "But if you add a magic spell, the light on your card will disappear. Others can't see it, and you can't see it either."

Magos wanted to say that if you can't see it, you can't see it, but when he saw the professor's "I have a solution" look on his face, he asked excitedly, "Is it possible to make those lights only visible to me?"

The professor looked like a child who could be taught.

"It can indeed be done, but it's up to you. I can't do it."

"Me?" Magos looked confused. What can I do?

"Yes, you, but it's not that you do it, it's that you find someone else to do it." The professor said mysteriously.

Magos really didn't understand his mute words, "Professor, I still don't understand."

"Severus," Professor Flitwick said.

"Professor Snape?" Magos was excited at first, and then hesitant. Will he help him? The reason why he never asked Snape to help him make the potion was because deep down he felt that he was very It is possible to refuse.

"Yes, I heard that Severus taught you potions before you came to Hogwarts, right?" Professor Flitwick smiled when McGoss nodded, "I have never seen He has never taken such initiative before, and you are the first one. You should have a special status in Snape's heart, so I suggest you go to him for help."

Hearing this, Magos felt something was wrong and asked in surprise, "Eh, professor, won't you go with me?"

The professor smiled and shook his head, "I can't go, and no one can go. You can only go alone, otherwise he will not help you. His self-esteem is very strong, and he will never let others see his weakness. On the one hand, even if it is a small favor for a student he likes, of course, another reason is that you are a Gryffindor, and he will never tolerate being discovered by others helping a Gryffindor wizard. Okay, remember what I want, I need two kinds of potions, one is the magic isolation potion, which is used to make the door key you want, and the other is the anti-disturbance potion, which is used in your deck of magic cards. "

Magos nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it and complained in his mind that the second reason was actually the most important. Then he thanked him again and left Professor Flitwick's office.

He spent the afternoon asking himself whether Snape would help him.Anyone who wasn't a fool could tell there was something wrong with that dazed expression. Hermione asked him with concern if he had a cold or illness, and he smiled and said he was thinking about something.

Harry went to train again in the evening, and Ron made sure he had no problems and followed.Magos hesitated in the lounge for a while and decided to give it a try. Professor Flitwick would not make such a joke with him.

Walking to the door of the underground office, Magos clenched his fist nervously, and then gently knocked on the door in front of him.The sound of knocking on the door echoed in the empty and cold basement.A cold voice sounded in the office.

"Come in."

"Hello, Professor Snape." Magos opened the office door and walked in slowly.

Snape glanced at him coldly and said dryly, "Mr. Will, I think you should be in your own lounge now instead of coming to my office. Do you think you should help Gryffindor with more buckles?" Any points?"

"No, it's not, Professor."

Looking at his indifferent expression, Magos swallowed and spoke his thoughts directly, "Professor Snape, I came here to ask you to make two potions."

& nbs

p; Snape seemed to be startled by his words, and then showed a charming smile, "Please ask me to help you make potions? Or two kinds? Mr. Will, you don't think that I have given you some advice on potions for a few days. Think of me as your personal potion maker."

"No, no, I definitely don't have that idea, Professor." Magos shook his head quickly, "I have always regarded you as my enlightenment mentor."

Snape didn't expect him to say this. He paused for a moment, then smiled sarcastically, "Enlightenment tutor? I'm not qualified to be your tutor, Mr. Will. You, who have just been exposed to potions for a few months, can do this." For a genius who makes such a high-level potion as the Elixir of Fortune, I dare not take the title of your mentor." Magos was extremely embarrassed by these words.

"Professor, without your help that time, I wouldn't be able to stand here. At that time, I didn't understand anything and thought I was omnipotent. I want to apologize to you for my ignorance at that time. If you hadn't helped me You may die from this. I also want to express my gratitude to you for my life and the lives of my parents." He bowed deeply.

Snape's expression relaxed slightly, and he snorted, saying with disdain that it was just his luck and had nothing to do with him. He would not accept this kind of apology or thanks that had nothing to do with him.Magos, who was a human being, felt the looseness in his tone and quickly got close to him, then once again stated the purpose of his visit.

But who is Snape who can be a double agent? Even if he is reborn, this little trick can deceive him?He expressed disdain for his little trick, and at the same time asked him with a sneer why he didn't ask Filius for help. He owed him a big favor for the formation of the powerful spell last time.Magos was about to say that Professor Flitwick asked him to come over, but when he looked up and saw his cold expression, he suddenly remembered Professor Flitwick's words. The words were changed to.

"When I mentioned potions, I thought of you. I only trust you when it comes to making potions. Your skills are the best in Hogwarts and even the entire wizarding world, so I didn't think about looking for other potions professors. Magos sighed softly, feeling that he reacted quickly, and this flatterer was also very good. He couldn't get ten points, but eighty or nine points were still adequate.

only……

"Really?" Snape glanced at him with a non-smiling look. This sight made his heart tremble with fear. He felt that his own thoughts had been seen through, and the complacency of flattering him disappeared instantly.

'Damn, you forgot that he is a master of Occlumency. Occlumency is awesome, and Legilimency is definitely not weak. Even if he is not as good as Dumbledore, he is definitely not a kid like him who has not even learned Occlumency. All the wizard could resist was over, he was discovered. '

Unexpectedly, just when Magos thought that Snape would angrily tell him to get lost, he seemed to just respond to the question so casually, as if he didn't see through his mind and didn't question him again. mean.He no longer understood what Snape was thinking, so he put aside his thoughts and waited quietly for him to speak.

"You are still conscious. Don't think that you can deceive a more powerful being than you with a little cleverness." Snape finally spoke when McGoss's forehead was sweating.

"Actually, you should go to the headmaster for help. He didn't drag you to Gryffindor." He said with a sneer.

Magos really didn't know how to answer this, and his eyes were blank, indicating that he didn't understand.Did Snape have any complaints about going to Gryffindor?He wants me to go to Slytherin?he thought to himself.

Snape may have felt that he had lost his temper, and then said that it should be left to the Sorting Hat to judge, not him as the headmaster.Magos found it a bit incredible that he actually explained something based on his character, but his expression was still blank.

Seeing that Magos was still pretending to be stupid, Snape did not expose him this time. He just said calmly, "What two potions do you want me to help make?"

Magos was so excited after hearing this that he was so disturbed by Snape that he almost forgot his original intention of coming.

"One is a magic isolation potion, and the other is an anti-disturbance potion." He answered hurriedly.

Snape frowned when he heard these two potions, "These two are mostly potions used to make magic props. What do you want?"

Magos hadn't decided yet whether to tell him about the magic cards, and seemed a little hesitant.

Snape's face suddenly dropped, making him look like an iceberg about to explode.

"Get out." He said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Magos didn't expect him to have such a big reaction.Looking at him in shock.

"I want you to get out, Mr. Will." Snape's words seemed to come out from between his teeth, and now Magos understood it completely.

He said hurriedly, "Professor, I didn't mean that. The magic potion is used on my deck of cards." As he said that, he quickly took out the magic cards from his arms, "These are the magic playing cards I made by imitating playing cards. , because it was against school rules, so I hesitated.”
