Unbehaved Hufflepuff

The idea of ​​practicing spells was shattered when Professor Sprout called Lumi after the meal.

Follow her to the special greenhouse, which is very small and contains only a few pots of mandrakes.

"I thought you might be interested in this."

Sprout chuckled.

"Each pot of plants here is enchanted, which can speed up their growth. If they continue to grow at this rate, there will be fresh mandrakes ready for use in a week."

When she said these words, her eyes were watching Lumi.

I noticed that the corners of his mouth turned up and his expression became better.

"Of course, we can't rush it. After all, they need to pass through the hands of a certain potion master before they can be turned into suitable potions."

"I saw that you have been following Snape these past few days. Are you interested in potions?"

She changed the topic and brought the topic to Snape: "Your grades last year were great. If Severus hadn't made things difficult for you, your final grade would have been full marks. Not many little wizards have this honor." Yes, what do you think?"

Hearing this, Lumi shook his head and replied: "Sorry, Professor, I don't really care about my grades. I just wrote down what I knew last year. But as for potions, I did it with the help of Professor Snape." Now that I’m interested, I’m looking forward to having a perfect potion brewed from my hands.”

When it comes to potions, Lumi makes no secret of his thoughts.

Facing Sprout, the dean who was like a mother, Lumi had not put her on the alert for a long time.

As long as her own safety is not involved, Lumi will most likely not hide other things from her.

"Well, it's good. How did Snape teach you?"

"Did he give you any hints about doing something or wanting something?"

Sprout was nervous.

She was afraid that Snape would do what Quirrell did to him in the name of teaching him.

Even if he did nothing, let Lumi go the way Snape did?

The students walked around, the reputation in the castle was by no means a good one, and he was even better on his own than Lumi was last year.

At least Lumi was able to get along well with his three roommates last year, and Snape...don't even mention it!

"I have a feeling Professor Snape thinks I have a basilisk hiding in me."

"I don't know if he wants to get the basilisk, or if he wants to take this opportunity to let me help him process the materials."

Lumi expressed his concerns, concealed his distrust of Dumbledore, and talked about killing the basilisk lightly.

As for the diary, once Lumi finds a way to destroy it, it will be a mere notebook and will be worthless.

So Lumi feels there is not much difference between saying it or not.

"I was anxious to kill the basilisk. I was very angry, so I subconsciously used black magic."

If you use the Unforgivable Curse, you have to go to court. Lumi will not openly talk about the death curse he used.

How much dark magic did Lord Voldemort teach Lumi last year, and what were the death spells among them.

It is impossible for Lumi to tell this question. Anyone who is interested can ask Voldemort. I believe Professor Quirrell will be willing to answer this question.

Sprout listened patiently to Lumi's words. While he was worried, he was also dissatisfied with Snape.

Sprout didn't care what trick Lumi used to kill the basilisk, as long as it wasn't the Unforgivable Curse.

But no matter what, Lumi is a major threat to the school. According to him, the basilisk not only harmed Filch's cat, but also petrified Luna, and finally even brought a little Gryffindor girl back to the Chamber of Secrets.

What would be the consequences of being taken back by the basilisk?

It's fine if you chew it up and eat it, but it would be terrible if you swallow it whole and wake up in the belly of the basilisk.

Lumi now saved the little girl's life and became a little hero of Hogwarts.

But what did Snape do? Lumi was placed in solitary confinement that day, and it was held for three consecutive days.

This is also consistent with what she heard from students. Snape has been keeping an eye on Lumi these days and takes him to the office whenever something happens.

Lumi said that every time Snape asked him to handle potion materials, he was accurate to three decimal places every time.

Sprout has also studied potions. Of course she knows how rare it is to have a perfect dose of ingredients, but this is not a reason to squeeze children!

"Well, Lumi, tell me the truth, do you want to learn potions from Snape?"

Regarding this question, Lumi thought about it and nodded.

Snape was the master of potions, and there was no one in Hogwarts who was better at potions than him.

"okay, I get it."

Sprout smiled, pulled Lumi out of the greenhouse.

The two of them chatted for a short time. Sprout recommended some books to Lumi and asked Lumi to go to the library to read them.

Lumi also asked about some academic doubts he encountered.

As a professor, Sprout patiently answered them one by one.

The two parted in the corridor, and Lumi went to the library with the newly acquired knowledge, eager to absorb the knowledge.

Sprout, on the other hand, walked towards the Potions Office with a dark face and a wand in his hand.

I don’t know what Sprout and Snape talked about that day. The next day, Snape called Lumi to the Potions Office and asked him to refine a potion.

Lumi prepared a scabies potion that she learned last year according to the content in the book.

After the finished product came out, Snape mercilessly criticized the potion made by Lumi and said that Lumi would be allowed to go to him every week to learn potions.

It's called tutoring, but it's actually teaching.

The condition is that Lumi needs to process the potion materials in his spare time while studying.

Faced with such a rare opportunity, Lumi wanted to go and study as soon as he had time, but Snape said in his ordinary tone: "One study is enough for you to digest for a week. Potions are not as easy to learn as spells."

After that, Lumi and Snape determined their weekly study time.

But during that chat, Snape always gave Lumi the feeling that he hadn't finished speaking.

Lumi believed that Professor Sprout had won this learning opportunity for him, and he must not make a mistake and lose this opportunity.

What if Snape canceled his weekly lectures in the name of deceiving the professor?

Fortunately, the basilisk has been decomposed and only needs to be disposed of.

Fortunately, tomorrow is Monday, which is also the day when the owls deliver letters, and a large package of materials purchased by Lumi has also been delivered.

Only then did Lumi suddenly realize the power of the owl.

Name magic is the standard equipment for owls. Slightly more expensive ones will have endurance and physical strength magic, and even some particularly expensive owls are equipped with strength magic.

Such as Draco's golden eagle and Harry's snowy owl. In addition to endurance and physical strength, the former is also very powerful. The latter focuses more on flexibility and speed. Its strength is slightly inferior to birds of the same price, but its speed is faster.

This undoubtedly gives Owl a qualitative leap in its delivery capabilities.

After getting the medicine, Lumi came to the room on the eighth floor again.

There are still a few days until the mandrake matures, so just go there and steal a leaf.

Recalling Snape's actions, Lumi turned his attention to the cauldron in front of him.
