Office of Potions.
Seeing the anger in Professor Snape's face, Lucas was baffled.
"Professor, did something happen?"
"I just want to remind Mr. Grindelwald that if you don't send the water of life to the Headmaster soon, his life will come to an end."
If it wasn't for Professor Snape's reminder, Lucas would have forgotten about it.
Of course, this is a joke. He just hoped to delay it for a few days.
Once the water of life was given, Dumbledore's greatest shackles would fall off.
But after several times they have cooperated, Dumbledore also saw the layout of Little Hangleton, so he should be happy to cooperate with him now.
Thinking up to this point, Lucas immediately replied: "Don't worry about this, I will go to the Headmaster's office after class, but I need a valid reason."
At this moment, with countless eyes staring at Lucas, if he makes a slight move, others will know immediately.
Especially the fake Moody, if they make him feel that something is wrong, then their previous efforts will all be wasted.
"Your old professor is willing to help with this problem."
Professor Snape walked to the door of the office and flung it open.
"Wait until potions class for it."
Leaving the Potions office, as soon as Lucas returned to his dormitory, he saw Hestia standing by the bed.
Ever since Medusa has been out of business, the task of delivering letters fell on Hestia again.
This made Hestia happy for several days.
Seeing her master come back, Hestia raised one of her legs and looked at the envelope tied to it.
Rewarding the hardworking owl with a mouse tail, Lucas opened the letter.
After reading it, he frowned, just as he was going to the headmaster's office today, Dumbledore should know the news.
Destroying the letter together with the envelope, Lucas picked up the Potions book beside him and walked out of the room.
Today's Hogwarts was very lively, everyone was enthusiastically discussing yesterday's Triwizard task.
More people wanted to know what happened in the water. But what they are most concerned about is knowing what kind of magic Lucas used yesterday.
So, when Lucas appeared in public, he was immediately surrounded by students.
This made Harry next to him who also came to class very uncomfortable.
He felt that if Lucas hadn't interrupted him yesterday, with the magic whistle in his hand, he could have completely solved the crisis, and maybe he would be the one praised in the newspapers today.
Harry couldn't help looking at the "Daily Prophet" in his hand. Three full pages were used to publicize what happened yesterday.
Rita Skeeter didn't write any nonsense this time, which is something incredible.
She wrote what Lucas did in detail and vividly.
Rita's writing is already strong, and under her deliberate publicity, many wizards developed a strong interest in Lucas.
More young wizards desperately wanted to join the Saints Group.
Not only for the high salary, but also because this is an opportunity to get close to Lucas, a newly promoted legend.
…
"Confringo!"
A deep, hoarse voice sounded and a white wand flashed blindingly.
Peter Pettigrew shivered, watching the newspaper in his hand crumble to dust.
"Master, please calm down!"
"Lucas Grindelwald is already a quasi-legendary wizard at such a young age."
Babymort looked at Wormtail with his red eyes.
"If he was born more than ten years earlier, I would definitely invite him to join the Death Eaters. Unfortunately, we are destined to be enemies now."
"You may never understand the feeling of seeing a brilliant genius about to fall in front of you, Wormtail."
"Tell Barty that Lucas Grindelwald has to die, 14-year-old would-be legend? A pity that he didn't have the chance to grow."
Voldemort's eyes showed fierceness, and at the same time, there was a trace of fear. When he was that age, he was no more than an Auror in power.
Such a genius, it must be removed as soon as possible.
He thought for a while and ordered again: "Dumbledore and Grindelwald, they are both people who must die, let the news go."
"Also remember to inform Barty of that matter, and ask him to pay more attention at Hogwarts, and never let that person see Dumbledore."
Peter Pettigrew nodded tremblingly, then walked out of the room to follow Voldemort's arrangement.
…
Lucas eventually got rid of those crazy fans thanks to Professor Snape. When the students saw him coming, they immediately dispersed.
"Mr. Potter, I don't remember telling you to bring newspapers to class!"
Harry hadn't had time to explain yet when the Daily Prophet hidden under the table was snatched by Snape.
"Oh~ It seems that Mr. Potter likes to be famous very much, but it's not surprising, since the first day you entered Hogwarts, there has been constant news about you."
"I suppose you're obsessed with attention, aren't you, Potter?"
"I'm not, sir!"
"Don't argue!" Snape snapped.
"No matter what you become, in my eyes, you will always be an annoying boy!"
Professor Snape threw the newspaper back into Harry's arms.
"Finally, I want to give you a kind warning. You are not allowed to enter my office to steal anything in the future."
"I did not enter your office, sir!"
"You're lying!" Snape's expression turned furious.
He looked into Harry's eyes, and said word by word: "Powdered bicorn horn, Boomslang skin and gillyweed, these are my private collections, I know who stole them."
"It seems that you and your little friends are brewing Polyjuice Potion? This is a potion that is highly regulated. You'd better not let me catch you.
Harry looked Professor Snape in the eyes without fear.
"I did not enter your office, Professor!"
"It's a pity I can't use Veritaserum on students, otherwise it only takes three drops and you would tell everything."
Professor Snape took out a small vial from under his robes. Seeing him shaking the bottle, he was obviously threatening Harry.
But Lucas, who was sitting in the first row, knew.
Professor Snape was just reminding him that missing together with the gillyweed, there are also materials for making polyjuice potion.
Unfortunately, Harry didn't understand what he meant and instead he thought Professor Snape was really blaming him.
Watching the annoyed look on Harry's face, Lucas felt that he was simply too stupid to understand such a hidden message.
The worst thing is arrogance without a clear understanding of one's own strength.
In the second task, if he hadn't disrupted the situation, so many things that followed would never have happened.
"Mr. Grindelwald, do you think you have learned?"
A soft, greasy voice sounded beside him and Lucas snapped back to his senses.
At this moment, Professor Snape used his wand to control an unmashed scarab and threw it into the cauldron.
The potion brewed today is an intelligence enhancer, and one of the main ingredients is the scarab.
But if you throw the scarab into the cauldron when it is not sufficiently mashed it will cause a violent explosion.
Lucas hastily drew his wand and cast the Shield Charm.
An explosion followed.
"Scourgify!"
The potion splashed everywhere was quickly cleaned up and Professor Snape's voice came from the side.
"It seems that Mr. Grindelwald is also addicted to fame, and he even forgot the most basic knowledge of potions."
"If that's the case, I will punish you with two days of detention. Maybe some time processing potion materials with me will do you some good. And maybe a visit to the Headmaster's office is also in order."
Lucas didn't expect that Professor Snape's so-called help would be in such a way.
Looking at the worried eyes of everyone, he sighed helplessly.
Is this killing the chicken to scare the monkeys?
It not only helped Lucas get an opportunity to meet the Headmaster, but also woke up those students who were still immersed in the gossip from yesterday.
Harry saw Lucas being scolded and his originally uncomfortable mood immediately improved a lot.
Soon the painful potions class was finally over and everyone scrambled to escape from the classroom.
Only Lucas unhurriedly cleaned up the cauldron on the table.
"Honey, be careful!" Hermione whispered.
She stole a glance at Professor Snape, and finding that he wasn't paying attention to this side, she stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed Lucas on the cheek.
"I'll go first!"
After all this was done, Hermione quickly ran out of the Potions classroom with her head down.
"Okay, let's go!"
Hearing Professor Snape, Lucas walked out of the classroom following him.
As soon as they were out of the door, the two saw Fleur Delacour approaching.
"Professor Snape, may I speak to Mr Grindelwald?"
Professor Snape glanced between the two of them for a few moments, and finally nodded and stepped aside.
"Lucas, may I call you that?"
"Of course, what do you want from me?"
Seeing Lucas's sapphire eyes, Fleur thought about the underwater events again.
"Nothing much, I just want to thank you for saving my sister. My sister and I would like to invite you to Hogsmeade Village for tea in a few days to express our gratitude."
"Sorry, I can't."
"Don't refuse, please!"
Seeing her expression that clearly showed she wouldn't give up until he agreed, Lucas nodded helplessly.
Seeing that he agreed, Fleur seemed very happy, even her cheeks turned slightly red as she left with a skip in her steps.
After the episode, Lucas and Professor Snape continued to head for the Headmaster's office.
"Cockroach clusters!"
Professor Snape spoke the new password and the stone gargoyle moved out of the way.
"Mr. Grindelwald, I think your problem is quite serious, now follow me to see the Headmaster!"
Professor Snape said this on purpose, and then led Lucas up the stairs to the headmaster's office.
