Chapter 27: Snape, It's Time to Complain!
"Severus, Minerva and Flitwick both came to sue me just now," Dumbledore began. "They say it's about Kyle."
Dumbledore continued, "As teachers, we cannot simply define right and wrong for children. We should find a way to guide and educate them!"
Snape interrupted before Dumbledore could finish. He used what Dumbledore had said to him that morning. The old bat had already experimented with Kyle's potion. The effect is exactly as he said. After drinking it for a week, I obviously feel warmer in my body. Some more experiments were done. Skin wounds heal as soon as they appear, and some curses from black magic can also be effectively resisted. That's enough.
The greatest significance of this "new life medicine" is to propose the concept of drinking the potion in advance to prevent danger. The specific functions and formulas can be gradually developed and adjusted in the future. Just relying on this potion invention, it would take a long time for Kyle to learn the basics of potion science. He will be called the "Master of Potions." After all, the biggest difference between a potion master and an ordinary alchemist is not the method of refining medicine, but improvement and innovation, which requires his own famous work. Such a person, Snape couldn't bear to throw him out of Slytherin.
"Listen, Dumbledore, Kyle is a student of Slytherin," Snape insisted. "If you want to punish and deal with Kyle, you must agree with me, the dean."
"You mean you're willing to take responsibility for Kyle?" Dumbledore looked up.
"You can say that if you have to!" Snape replied. The expression on his face didn't change much. After all, I have been proud for more than thirty years.
"Okay, here's the bill from Minerva and Flitwick for repairing the Transfiguration and Charms classrooms!" Dumbledore continued. "You know, our castle has magic, and it can't be repaired with a simple repair spell. I'm worrying about this kid Kyle not having parents. Severus, it's very kind of you to do this."
Dumbledore quickly produced two bills. Fearing that Snape would repent, he stuffed them directly into Snape's hand.
"???" Snape was completely dumbfounded. No...not to mention the potion worth at least 30,000 Galleons that he had stored was stolen by that brat... Now he has to be responsible for cleaning up his mess? What is resentment?
"Dumbledore, I..." Snape began to speak. He was interrupted by Dumbledore waving with a smile. It's hard to come up with a bigger complaint. Dumbledore didn't want to give him a chance to repent, otherwise, he would have to pay the money.
"Let's not talk about that for now, Severus. What is the purpose of you coming to see me?"
Snape took out three bottles of red potion with a deadpan expression. "This is the new type of potion that Kyle refined in the Potions class just now. The specific effect is... I think it's worth at least an Order of Merlin, Second Class!"
"Really?"
Dumbledore pushed his glasses. He once discovered "Twelve Uses of Dragon's Blood." He was good at alchemy, but he also had a deep knowledge of potions. He picked up a bottle of potion, opened it, smelled it, and then drank it. Dumbledore closed his eyes and felt it. After releasing several detection spells in a row, he opened his eyes, his face already full of surprise. Teaching an excellent student will undoubtedly bring glory to Hogwarts as a whole.
"This kid... I didn't expect him to have such a high talent in potions. Great, don't worry, Severus, leave the application for the Order of Merlin to me!"
Snape looked at Dumbledore with an excited face. Looking at the two bills in his hand again, the joy just now was gone. He couldn't figure it out. Why is it me who gets hurt every time?
"Well, I'll go first."
Never mind! I don't want to; the more I think about it, the more tired I get!
Not long after Snape left, the door to the headmaster's office was opened again. A small head poked out from the outside. It was Kyle.
"Professor, may I come in?"
"Certainly! Son, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I can't wait to teach you lessons." Dumbledore was still affable.
"I knew the professor was a good person, so I brought you some candies and desserts!" Kyle was carrying a tote bag. He put it on the table and opened it. Inside were some Honey Dukes Candy Shop specials. Among them, the most prominent were heaps of cockroach clusters. Seeing his favorite candy and dessert, Dumbledore's smile grew even wider.
"Oh, a pile of cockroaches? And strange-smelling beans?"
"And the latter, just like our life... has countless flavors."
