Why was Lucas so sure that Professor Snape's rebellion was successfully instigated?
The cauldron in the corner is the answer.
It is the water of life being brewed in it.
Although with his potion level, he might not know what the water of life looks like, but he has seen all the materials that have not completely melted inside.
"Professor, it seems that you have not been resting during this time."
"Mr Grindelwald, just because I called you here doesn't mean I believe your unbelievable words."
"Now, let's talk about what happened just now. Do you know what the consequences will be if you capture a dementor privately and are discovered?"
Seeing Lucas nod, Professor Snape sneered, "I don't think your achnatherum-stuffed head knows."
"If the captured dementor escapes, do you know what will happen?"
"Of course, Professor, so I hope to get your help to make something that can keep the dementors contained."
Snape hadn't expected Lucas to say such a thing.
"Mr Grindelwald, are you asking your professor to help you do something against wizarding laws?"
Seeing Lucas nod again, Snape actually laughed.
If a sneer with a slight rise in the corner of his mouth can be considered a laugh.
~Bang!~
A vial of potion was placed on the table by Professor Snape.
"Mr. Grindelwald, will you drink it yourself, or will I have to feed you it myself?"
"Uh... Dear Professor Snape, may I ask if this is..."
"The throat-locking gas can make people unconscious painfully after a while. If you drink it, it will save your professor some effort and make it easier to send you into Azkaban."
Seeing Professor Snape's cold eyes, Lucas smiled, took two steps back and said, "I'll figure out how to deal with the dementors myself, so I won't bother you anymore."
His backing down caused Snape to put away the potion on the table.
When he saw the choke-gas being put back into the glass case, Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Professor, I don't know what you think about that matter?"
Professor Snape closed the glass case and turned to the cauldron in the corner.
"I started brewing this potion during the summer vacation. Because of the limited materials, I had to brew the water of life in one go."
He stirred the potion in the cauldron clockwise with his wand.
"However, Dumbledore wants me to brew wolfsbane potion for a werewolf. That's a werewolf we're talking about. That old man with a brain full of sugar, what the hell is he thinking?"
It could be heard from Professor Snape's tone just how much was his distaste and hatred for Lupin.
Thinking about it, it does make sense, because the Marauders had bullied him a lot during school.
"What does the professor mean?"
"You come to help me brew the wolfsbane potion. In addition, I need to know your next plan, how you want to save Harry Potter."
Lucas drew his wand and cast "Muffliato"
Professor Snape gave him a rather surprised look.
"It seems that you have learned all the spells in my book."
"Of course, the spells created by the professor are very practical."
Of course Lucas would not tell him that he could use these spells a long time ago. Instead, he wanted to give credit to Professor Snape who had created these spells.
Under his repeated flattery, even the indifferent Professor Snape's expression softened a bit.
Taking this opportunity, Lucas asked: "Professor, have you heard of the resurrection stone?"
His voice just fell and he saw Professor Snape staring at him like he was an idiot.
"I think every young wizard has read children's books like The Tales of Beedle the Bard."
"Mr. Grindelwald's method is to find the illusory resurrection stone to revive Mr. Potter?"
As Professor Snape spoke, his eyes became very contemptuous.
"If this is the case, then Mr. Grindelwald can leave, rest assured, I will not tell anyone about the conversation between you and me."
Seeing the professor raise his wand and point to the door of the office, Lucas said helplessly: "Professor, who told you that the Deathly Hallows is just a fairy tale."
In fact, Lucas can also understand, by the time Professor Snape's generation was born, Gellert Grindelwald had been defeated for years.
At that time Voldemort was the mainstream, so topics like the Deathly Hallows have long become outdated.
The Invisibility Cloak is a Potter family heirloom, and no one is foolish enough to advertise their family heirloom as a Deathly Hallows.
The Elder Wand was in Dumbledore's hand.
But Dumbledore was recognized as the strongest wizard at that time so his light obscured the Elder Wand in his hand.
In fact, it can be seen in many places in the original work.
Professor Snape, until his death, thought that Voldemort had acquired a powerful wand from Dumbledore.
Seeing Professor Snape's puzzled eyes, Lucas reminded softly: "The Invisibility Cloak in Harry Potter's hand and the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's are both Deathly Hallows."
"Impossible!" said Professor Snape, shaking his head.
Harry Potter will not be mentioned for now, but he had been by Dumbledore's side for many years.
Having seen the old man's wand a few times, he remembers that Dumbledore said it was won from a friend of his.
Lucas knew that if he couldn't show evidence, Professor Snape wouldn't believe it.
So he waved his wand and pointed in the air and a reduced version of the Alliance's mark appeared in midair.
Lucas erased the two uppercase "G"s leaving the remaining marks in front of them.
"My father, Gellert Grindelwald, stole a wand from Master Grigorovich when he was young."
"That is the Elder Wand mentioned in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" with its immense power."
"It was because of it that my father was invincible and unbeatable until he lost to Dumbledore."
"The Elder Wand only submits to the strong, so my defeated father lost the Elder Wand, and it has remained in Dumbledore's hands ever since."
Lucas paused for a moment after he finished speaking, he had to wait for Professor Snape to digest the knowledge.
Waiting until he saw the professor nodding to him, Lucas held up his wand and said, "If you don't believe me, look at my wand, mine is also made of elderberry."
Although it looks different from the Elder Wand, his wand also has elderberry features.
"Continue!"
Lucas took back his wand and continued: "After my investigation, I discovered that the heirloom of the Potter family is the invisibility cloak in Harry's possession."
"And I also have evidence to prove that the Potter family are the descendants of Ignotus Peverell, one of the three brothers."
"As for the resurrection stone..."
"How about the Resurrection Stone?"
Seeing that he stopped talking when he reached the resurrection stone, Professor Snape frowned.
"The resurrection stone is interesting, according to my investigation, it is actually in the Gaunt family."
"And the Gaunt family is the descendant of Salazar Slytherin, and at the same time has some relationship with Cadmus Peverell, the second among the three brothers."
"I have found the whereabouts of the resurrection stone, and now I need someone strong enough to retrieve it."
"So you're going to send Dumbledore there?"
Professor Snape quickly understood what Lucas meant.
Seeing him nod, Snape sneered.
"You seem to underestimate Dumbledore."
"No, I'm not underestimating him, on the contrary, I understand Dumbledore's strength better than anyone else."
Lucas turned and walked to the desk.
Seeing him pull out a chair to sit on, Snape gave him a cold look.
"Professor, I said before that Dumbledore must already know of the horcruxes' existence by now."
"He may have even investigated exactly how Voldemort created the Horcruxes."
"Remember that book I mentioned to you? "Secrets of the Darkest Arts" I couldn't find it in the restricted section."
"But I'm sure it's still at Hogwarts, so where do you think the book would be?"
The image of the Headmaster's office immediately appeared in Snape's mind, the books there should be the third most in Hogwarts.
Seeing his expression, Lucas knew that Professor Snape had thought of it, so he continued: "If there is an excellent student who suddenly asks the Headmaster about the Soul, what do you think he will do?"
"It didn't think that Mr. Grindelwald intended to kill himself. You don't really think Dumbledore is as kind as he looks, do you?"
"Of course not, but for the smooth progress of the future plan, it is necessary to do so, and everything is for the greater good."
Lucas' confident look didn't impress Professor Snape. Instead, he was ridiculed even more violently.
The night in the dungeons is eerie and silent, but the sound of Professor Snape spitting out venom could be heard from time to time in the potions office.
Until a long time passed, Lucas' calm voice rang in the office.
"Since we have reached a cooperation, please trust me. As for whether Dumbledore will do anything to me, it all depends on you, the professor."
"I can see that the relationship between you and Professor Lupin is very bad, and you seem to hate him."
"Defense against the Dark Arts in a few days, I think it's a good excuse, then I'll start planning and get Dumbledore to talk to me, and the rest will be up to you."
After Lucas finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door of the office.
Leaving Professor Snape alone with his depression in the office.
