[HP] Squib Prince
Chapter 62
Snape glanced at the landscape painting behind him, the old man's figure had disappeared from the painting, and then, the old man's voice came from the darkness: "What are you waiting for?"
Snape habitually clenched the handle of his wand tightly, which gave him a great sense of security.Then, he secretly took a deep breath and walked into the door.
As soon as Snape walked in, the originally dark room became brighter. Unlike the dim yellow light of ordinary kerosene lamps, the light inside the room was just like daylight, illuminating the whole room clearly. Chu.Snape looked around in surprise, and found that it was a very large laboratory, and various potion-making instruments were neatly arranged on one side in order of frequency of use.And there were a bunch of bottles and cans on the workbench. Snape glanced at it, and then his eyes widened suddenly. What did he see?The baby teeth of the dragon, the tail feathers of the phoenix, the tears of the unicorn... These rare materials that are rumored to be elusive but not available are placed on the workbench in such a random manner!
Snape stepped forward to confirm, but was interrupted by his grandfather, Duke Prince.
"Okay, don't read it." Although the old man's voice is flat, anyone can easily hear the pride in it, "These are all true, and this is just the iceberg among the many potion ingredients of the Prince family. A corner. But these are probably rare to see outside."
Snape didn't bother to answer the old man's words, he looked along the shelves of potion ingredients one by one, the more he looked, the more surprised he was, if these were just the "tip of the iceberg" in the old man's mouth, then he thought it was hard for him to estimate The value of the Prince family.
"These things have been dusted for a long time..." The old man looked at the enthusiasm in Snape's eyes with satisfaction, and then sighed, "It's been too long since they met someone who can discover their true value. And now, I think we Need to talk about their use."
When Snape heard the old man talk about the use of these rare materials, he finally was willing to turn his eyes away from those potion materials, and then "give alms" to the old man who hadn't gotten his eyes.Looking at it this way, Snape realized that on the wall of this large but not empty laboratory, there was a large oil painting that was as wide as the wall, and the content of the oil painting was exactly the laboratory. true portrayal.At this time, the old man was still wearing his very formal dress wizard robe, and sat comfortably on the chair in the laboratory in the oil painting.
"Isn't that a good idea?" The old man stood up, walked around the laboratory in the oil painting, and said proudly, "In this way, I won't be lonely anymore. Unfortunately, the manor has been closed for more than 20 years. It can only be left empty.”
Snape was shocked for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses.He didn't talk to the old man, but simply asked: "What are the uses of these medicinal materials? Are there any mysterious prescriptions that have not been circulated?"
The old man smiled and looked at Snape, who was not as calm and restrained as usual, then waved his hands and said with a smile: "You really are not suitable to be the patriarch of a family. Let's not talk about that, the purpose I mentioned is nothing Mysterious prescription. The emergence of a potion prescription must go through a series of experiments full of adventure and innovation. I think you must be very aware of this. Moreover, I always believe that there is no distinction between good and bad in potion medicine, Not all the medicinal materials in a prescription are rare. The key is to achieve the purpose. You should have seen this kind of thinking in the "Overview of Rare Potion and Medicinal Materials". Therefore, there is no mystery Of course, there are some novel prescriptions that have not been perfected, and some ancient prescriptions that remain, there are still many here."
After listening to the old man's words, Snape nodded silently. He looked at the old man with admiration, and then admitted: "I lost my composure. You are quite right."
The old man was very satisfied with Snape's attitude: "Very good. Now let's get down to business. The Prince family is a long-standing family in the magic world famous for its potions. It's a pity that the one who is scratching his head upstairs now The kid doesn't have the outstanding ability in the family. It seems that he has no due respect and interest in the great and artistic subject of potions..." Speaking of Brian's lack of knowledge in potions and his interest in potions Attitude, the old man couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"He just lived in the Muggle world for many years." Snape looked at the old man's angry face with an objective tone.
The old man looked at Snape's face seriously, and found that the other party said this without any reluctance at all. He smiled gratifiedly, then nodded in agreement and said, "If there is a good teacher, that child may still have a good teacher." help."
Snape secretly became vigilant, but his face remained unchanged, and he did not answer the old man's words.
The old man continued without any embarrassment: "In fact, I have thought about it for a long time, but in the end I think that the most suitable candidate is you. As a member of the Prince family and as the child's cousin, I think you should Will not refuse."
Snape had actually guessed what the old man said later, but he obviously didn't want to tie himself and the Prince family to death.This is of no benefit to anyone.
"You don't know me well, such a blind decision will bring disaster to the whole family." Snape pursed his lips, and then said coldly.
The old man looked at Snape fixedly, he was not angry because of Snape's refusal, but was very interested in the meaning revealed in Snape's words.He looked at Snape with a smile, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him look full of wisdom, but he looked more serious than the white-haired Dumbledore who always had a kind face, which made Snape feel a little more friendly .
"Oh, maybe you're right." The old man looked at Snape, "Now, let's get to know each other first, and then let me get to know the situation outside, so I think I can make the right decision." It's decided. I'm very interested in your reasons for this judgment. After all, there are only two of you in this family..." The old man's tone was filled with endless regret.
Snape was hit by the old man's last words. He stood there for a moment, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly rose in his heart, which made him feel empty, as if he could feel the old man's mood at the moment.It's just that he didn't expect the old man to be so stubborn. Snape looked up at the old man, he needed to judge how serious the old man's words were.
Apparently the old man wasn't joking, though he gave a rare smile.
Brian was absent-mindedly listening to a portrait in the study spouting the history of the Prince family, all he could think about was what the old man would say to Snape.
The young man in the portrait coughed at Brian and asked, "Is family history so boring?"
Brian smiled apologetically at the young man, and explained, "I'm so sorry, I just lost my mind. I was worried about what grandfather and Severus would say."
The young man gently stroked his pure black hair, and then smiled: "Duke has always liked children with talents. So, don't worry, he will never scold a child with such a talent for potions."
Brian looked at the young man in the painting who looked to be in his twenties at most. He was wearing a complicated gown and his long black hair was pulled back, which made him look even smaller.To spit out the word "child" from a person with such appearance, especially this "child" is still an old man with gray hair, it feels a bit out of place.
"Well, what you said is not wrong. I think my worries should be unnecessary." Brian could only honestly admit, "Actually, I'm still very curious about what they talked about."
The young ancestor smiled comprehensibly, and then said apologetically, "Oh, then I have nothing to do. In order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the experiment, our portraits cannot enter that place casually. We want to enter the potion The room needs to be booked elsewhere. So, I guess you'll have to ask them yourself, if they'd like to tell you."
After finishing speaking, the young portrait smiled good-naturedly and asked: "So, can we continue to talk about the history of the family? Believe me, this is still very interesting."
Brian smiled apologetically at the other party, and could only force himself to listen to the portrait's lecture attentively.
I don't know how long it took, but it was indeed a long time for Brian, the young ancestor suddenly stopped his lecture, he blinked at Brian, and said: "They came out of the potions room, now It's coming in this direction."
Brian stood up happily, and before the young portrait had time to let him sit back, the door of the study was opened.
It was Snape who opened the door, and he strode in, as if walking into his own Potions classroom, even the gloomy expression on his face was so similar.
Brian looked at Snape, who was still alive just now, with doubts, and called out in confusion, "Severus?"
Snape saluted the portrait of the young ancestor, and then said in a gloomy but polite tone, "Mr. Duke asked me to come over and listen to your lecture on Prince's family history."
Brian only felt that Snape's words seemed to be said through gritted teeth, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.But he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that some kind of agreement has been reached between the two people.At least Snape was sitting in the same room with himself and listening to a lecture, which was already a godsend to Brian.
