[HP] Squib Prince

Boom" a loud noise made Brian almost throw the tray in his hand.

Brian hurriedly put down the tray in his hand, and then walked quickly to the laboratory door hidden behind the office bookcase.He knocked nervously on the door, then called, "Severus, are you all right?"

Brian waited for a while, but there was no sound coming from the laboratory, so he had to knock on the door again to ask if the people inside were all right.

After repeating this several times, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened a crack, which Brian did not expect.He cautiously pushed the door open, and a smell of burnt things mixed with potion ingredients and blood came to his face, which made Brian feel sick.He held his breath slightly, and then stepped into the laboratory.

Snape's laboratory was a forbidden area for Brian, so this was his first time entering it.Different from the laboratory where Brian worked before, the lights here are dim, various bottles and jars are scattered in the corner, and there are even some discarded manuscripts on the ground.Brian couldn't help twitching his mouth when he thought of the spacious and bright laboratories he had seen mixed with the smell of formalin and disinfectant.But now is not the time to dislike Snape's lab.He carefully avoided all kinds of suspicious things, and then saw the pale-faced Snape in front of the workbench.He was leaning back on a chair in front of the workbench, holding a small jar in his hand.It was just a mess on the workbench: unknown liquid was scattered everywhere, and the cauldron, which seemed to be of very good quality, had a very obvious crack, not to mention the crucible that Brian gave Snape as a thank you. Those instruments were damaged, some were charred black, and even smoked.

Brian didn't have time to find out what the other party did to turn the whole laboratory into this. He looked at Snape worriedly and asked, "Are you okay, Severus?"

Snape seemed to be enduring a lot of pain, he took a breath, and then said, "Take out the soothing potion from the third compartment in the lower left corner of the left drawer."

Hearing this, Brian immediately took out the item according to Snape's instructions, and handed it to the other party neatly.

Snape took the potion and opened the bottle expressionlessly, gulped down the potion in one gulp, then sat quietly for a while, then got up and handed the small jar he had been holding to Brian.

"What's this?" Brian looked left and right at the unremarkable black jar.

"The substance just extracted should be able to combine with the magic power in the body and be detected. However, whether it is harmful to the human body needs further experiments." Snape replied in a hoarse voice.These days of sleepless nights combined with a previous explosion accident caused by the wrong dosage made him look bad.

"Oh, Madam Pomfrey is right, you really live up to your reputation." Brian happily shook the small pot in his hand, then looked at Snape seriously, and said, "Thank you so much .But you need to rest now."

Snape hummed softly, agreeing with Brian's statement.He rejected Brian's attempts to help, stood up himself, and walked slowly out of the lab.

"Oh, yes." Brian followed Snape briskly, "I brought you a lighter lunch, which should still be warm. Thanks to Rolf, the careful house-elf."

Snape had already seen the still hot lunch on the table, he turned his head and glanced at Brian, without saying anything.

Brian also seemed to feel a little embarrassed just watching the other person eat like this. He smiled, and then asked: "You need to take a hot bath and then get a good night's sleep. Do you still have potions class in the afternoon? Maybe the two of us can switch classes, you know mine is tomorrow afternoon."

Snape looked at Brian for a long time this time. After a while, after eating the food completely, he slowly pressed the corner of his mouth with a napkin, snapped his fingers to make the tableware disappear, and then said :"unnecessary."

Brian stared at the other party's greasy hair for a long while, really not knowing what to say.During the days of studying with Snape, he discovered that it was not that Snape was unhygienic, but that refining potions in front of the cauldron would make the hair greasy.It seemed that the other party was about to be called a "greasy old bat" by the students again, Brian secretly complained.However, seeing Snape's resolute attitude, he felt that the relationship between the two of them was not close enough to persuade him for such a private matter, so Brian could only shrug his shoulders, stop persuading, and turned to the serious matter: "I am here today. Go get in touch with Professor Bourne and ask him to borrow a magic animal and experiment on animals first. If the substance is harmless to animals then maybe we can use it on me. I'll tell you about the experiment result."

Snape nodded, and then suggested: "It's best to use humanoid creatures. You can ask Professor Bourne about this."

Bryan nodded to show he knew, and seeing Snape's tired look, he took the jar wisely and left.

"Good afternoon, Professor Bourne." Brian searched around, and finally found Keitel Bourne, a professor of protection and magical biology who was chatting with Hagrid in Hagrid's lakeside hut.

"So it's Professor Prince." The slightly gray-haired professor raised his head and adjusted his reading glasses, then greeted him with a smile.Professor Bourne is a well-known magizoologist in the magical world. He and Hagrid, who loves all kinds of large animals, can chat very well.However, he was not very familiar with Brian, who hadn't been to Hogwarts for a long time.For Professor Bourne, who was born in Hufflepuff, a person like Bryan who bears the title of a pure-blood nobleman but is incompatible with the magic world is not in the same league as him.

"I hope I didn't disturb your afternoon time." Brian bowed to Professor Byrne, and then nodded to Hagrid who was sitting on the side.

"Oh, of course not." Professor Byrne waved his hands hurriedly.It's just that Hagrid, who has always looked down on pure-blood nobles, was not as good at talking as the honest Professor Bourne. He let out a disdainful "hum" from his nose, and sat aside with a stern face and did not speak.

Brian's hostility towards Hagrid was somewhat inexplicable, but he also knew that Hagrid, who was born in Gryffindor, had always been prejudiced against Slytherin, so he didn't get too entangled with Hagrid's attitude.

"Professor Snape is researching a drug. Theoretically speaking, this drug should be harmless to the human body, but humanoid magical creatures are needed to further verify the efficacy of this drug. I wonder if Professor Bourne can lend you My eligible creature?"

Professor Byrne was very interested in hearing Brian's intentions. He took off the reading glasses on his nose, then pulled Brian and asked, "So you're saying that this medicine is for human use? Why is it magic?" What about creatures? Does it matter if it's an ordinary orangutan without magic?"

Brian looked at Professor Bourne's excitement and explained one by one helplessly: "Oh, it is indeed aimed at the human body, but I heard that wizards are different from ordinary people. With a rigorous attitude, Professor Snape still decided to use magic. Creatures. Of course, I also know that magical creatures seem to be very precious, but I think this kind of medicine should be harmless to the human body, and even if there are side effects, it should not endanger long-term health conditions."

"Oh, oh, I believe in Professor Snape's level." Bourne nodded in conviction, and then said: "In that case, I have a little animal called 'Fairy' here. It will be my teaching for next week Materials, I think it’s no problem to lend you two or three.”

With that said, Professor Bourne hurriedly took Brian to say goodbye to Hagrid, and then said to Brian excitedly, "Oh, you can call me 'Keitel', Brian. You can call me that, right?"

"Of course, it's my honor, Celtic." Brian nodded with a smile. He liked this simple-minded research madman very much.

When Brian really saw the "fairy" in the Celtics' mouth, he realized that his understanding of creatures in the magical world was still too shallow.This humanoid creature was not the magical ape he imagined, but a humanoid animal that could stand on the palm.They are exquisite in appearance, indistinguishable from humans, and have large transparent or colorful wings. Everyone holds a magic wand. According to Professor Celtic, this small animal with a low IQ can use Simple human magic is used to ward off the invasion of natural enemies.

Brian looked in admiration at the fairies housed in a cage as comfortable as a small house. These little guys can't use human language, but they can communicate with each other in a "humming" sound that humans can hear.The little ones seemed terrified as Celtic handed the cage to Brian, communicating loudly with "buzzing" noises, and a fairy who appeared to be a man with a stick-like stick in his hand. The wand cast a spell on Brian viciously, which felt like the petrifying spell that Snape had used on him, but the power was pitifully small, and Brian only froze his fingers for a moment, but recovered quickly.

Following Professor Celtic's instructions, he spread his hands out to show that he had no malice towards these fairies.After a while, these little guys calmed down.Only then did Brian successfully hold the cage in his hand.Now, he needed to develop a sense of trust with the fairies so that they could voluntarily drink the potion brought by Brian.

In just one afternoon, it passed.By night, Brian has developed a rapport of trust with these lovely fairies.This means that it's time to feed the medicine.
