Chapter 49 The Function of Beauty Potion

Because of Harry's suggestion of running a school, Voldemort convened several rounds of meetings with the Death Eaters, and finally came up with a practical plan before Halloween.

"Death Eaters is indeed a concentration camp for nobles, full of talents! It's amazing to have such a detailed and thoughtful plan in just over a month!" Harry praised sincerely. "It can't be better. If the conditions are met, you can consider starting to act."

"Oh, thank you for your approval~" Abu said exaggeratedly with a long aria. "Merlin knows how I've been here for more than a month, with endless meetings and discussions, endless overtime work, and reading a lot of Muggle university materials."

"I think you're in good shape~ You're still so shiny." Harry looked Abu up and down for a while, and commented.

"Thank you for the beauty potion and the energy potion!" Abu rolled his eyes that were not noble at all. "My taste buds are about to fail."

"It's hard to drink?" Harry was puzzled, seeing Abu and Lucius drinking happily every time.

"Do you want to try it?" Abu showed an expression of interest.

"Thank you for being sensitive." Harry was not fooled.

Back in the common room, Harry found Severus reading a book in the corner.

"Severus, is it possible to develop a potion that can be added to other potions to improve the taste of the potion?"

Severus withdrew his gaze from the book in his hand, and silently glanced at Harry, holding back for a long time, but still couldn't hold back.

"Are you sure that your head was not stepped on by a troll today? Or do you finally realize that you are sorry for your blood relationship with James and plan to get closer to him? If your memory has not been completely eroded by slugs, you should be able to Remember, I have said more than once that potion is a very precise and rigorous subject, and even a small change will lead to incalculable consequences. So, please ask Mr. Chief, how much imagination do you have to be able to Let you ask such an idiotic question just now?"

Harry adapted well to filter Severus' venom and got the answer he wanted.

"That's impossible?"

He nodded and said:

"I think so too. Then, Severus, please improve the taste of beauty and energy potions as quickly as possible, and if possible, please give me multiple choices-no rebuttal, you promised, all of them After school time. Remember, the fastest speed~"

Severus ground his back molars, glared at Harry with a black face, and remained silent.

Harry pretended not to see it.

"Then, list the materials you need, and I'll get someone to prepare them for you tomorrow."

A week later, Severus appeared in front of Harry with a sallow face and greasy hair, and handed Harry a few crystal bottles with a sullen face.

"The two potions you want! One each of orange, peach, grape, milk and chocolate, [-] bottles in total!"

"Oh, thank you very much, Severus!" Harry took the potion with a smile on his face, "But what's the matter with your hair? And your complexion! Hurry up and take care of yourself, or I'll think You want to go to a wax museum to be a living wax figure! Now, go on!" He took out a bottle of beauty potion and energy potion in his hand and threw them into Severus's arms, "Drink it, then go take a good bath and change clothes .Don't act like a house-elf, like I'm bullying you."

"Who am I doing this for? Huh?" Severus spit out the words through his teeth, and anyone could hear the gnashing of teeth. "Who said you want the 'fastest speed', huh? You are so desperate to see me and ask how the progress is!!!"

The anger in Severus' eyes seemed to be real, and he stared fiercely at the insane idiot in front of him.In order to be able to achieve the 'fastest' he said, he even wrote to his mother on the day he received the task, just to find out some questions that he usually can solve by reading the book for two days and doing a few experiments.Of course, my mother replied to the letter in time, but because I was too anxious and didn't write clearly the ins and outs of the matter, my mother thought that he finally got the hang of it and decided to dress himself up, so she sent a push of toiletries, a few casual robes, and even And a dress robe!Although it was the first time his mother sent him something, he was also very happy, but when he thought of the strange words in his mother's letter expressing excitement and concern besides answering questions... Severus wanted to beat the person in front of him violently. meal!Although it is unlikely to be able to hit it, it is not illegal to think about it!

"Uh... I was too anxious, sorry!" After being sprayed with the venom of the miniature snake king, Harry immediately remembered what he had done before, and huge beads of sweat hung on the back of his head instantly. "Well, I forgot your professionalism for a while, I really didn't expect you to work so hard..." After saying this, seeing that Severus was about to go berserk, he hurried to make amends. "A bottle of Phoenix tears! Thank you for your hard work this time."

Hearing the names of potion ingredients, Severus' anger was instantly extinguished.

"That's too precious, I can't take it."

"Maybe," Harry shrugged, "but you know, I'm not short of money, so I don't plan to sell it. Anyway, I keep things in storage. It's better to give them to someone who can make them more useful. Fox likes it very much." Mine, this bottle of tears was stuffed by him after I gave him a bag of bamboo fruit last time, and a bottle of blood and some tail feathers. The tail feathers let me make pens for Lucius, if you like, the bottle Shall I give you the blood as well?"

It took a long time for Severus to suppress the strong desire to 'swear at the man across from him'.Actually use the precious phoenix tail feathers to make a quill? !This is simply a crime! ! !

"Go get me that bottle of tears and blood, now! Immediately!!! Immediately!!!"

Harry immediately stood up in a calm manner, and left the common room as quickly as possible. If he didn't leave, he would be torn to pieces by the professor!

A few days later, Lucius found Severus, along with Narcissa.

"Severus~" Lucius dragged his aria, expressing his gratitude for his improved beauty potion. "Harry told me that you made those beauty potions and energy potions he gave me? Thank you very much! I passed them on to my father, who said he was finally able to eat them with his tongue that still had a sense of taste for more than a month The last meal is over. Then, as a thank you..."

Lucius took out a beautifully wrapped flat box and handed it over.

"Harry already thanked you."

Severus glanced at the box, unimpressed.

"Harry sent it on behalf of both of us, and this..." Lucius pointed his pale and slender finger at the box, "it was prepared by my father, to express his gratitude, and to win. You Decline?" He smirked at Severus.

Severus stared at Lucius for a few seconds.

"Does Harry know?"

"..." Lucius gave Severus a meaningful look, and the smirk on his face warmed up a bit. "He won't object."

Of course I wouldn't object~ Lucius rolled his eyes in his heart.Considering the importance of Severus in Harry's heart, if Abramovich really wants to do something bad to him, Harry will never just sit idly by - with Harry's strength, once he does, there will be no Abu what's the matter.Besides, Harry wanted to pull Severus to his side anyway, so of course Abramovich's overtures were also something he was happy to see - the Malfoy family had more money and things, and they didn't take anything for nothing!Lucius pouted secretly, probably able to guess what Harry was thinking.However, it was not a bad person to be able to remain rational in the face of the overtures of the Malfoy patriarch, and to take Harry's meaning first.

Severus nodded, took the gift and opened it - it was a book.The book is very thin, with less than [-] pages, but no one can deny its preciousness.It was a book of potion formulas, a unique secret of a family for thousands of years. Although there were only [-] formulas, in the eyes of caring people, it was undoubtedly [-] gold mines!

Severus stared at the writing on the book with eyes shining, wanting to swallow them all.

"The gift is very good, I like it very much!" He tried his best to gather his mind before pulling his eyes back from the book, "Please convey my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Malfoy for me."

"As long as you like it~"

The corner of Lucius' mouth hooked slightly, it was actually a note from the Higgins family?Dad really spent a lot of money this time~ Although it is a copy, the family's inheritance magic power is in that notebook. If you want to make a complete copy, you can't complete it without strong magic power as a support.Did Dad see Severus' potential?Remember when Harry said that Severus was the youngest potions master ever?Really worthy of being a father!

"Oh, no~ Lucius, you actually took this as a thank you gift! Then what should I do?"

Narcissa glanced at the cover of the thin book and immediately despaired.

"I made it very clear just now that this is a gift from my father and has nothing to do with me."

Lucius smirked at Narcissa.

"However, you can only buy finished products, and the prescriptions belong to Severus and Malfoy's family."

"Hmph, the finished product is the finished product, and it's not like you can't afford it!"

Narcissa raised her chin at Lucius, she was not ashamed of someone like him who can't wait to label her as her own before she got married—return to the Malfoy family, it was obviously Harry who asked Severus to improve!

Severus raised an eyebrow at Lucius, motioning for him to explain.

"Let me introduce you. This is the fourth-year chief Narcissa Black. You should be familiar with Severus. Sissy, this is the first-year potion genius I told you about, and the youngest in the future." Master Potions, Severus Snape. The two potions you want to buy were made by his hands."

"Lucius, you're exaggerating." Severus was a little embarrassed by the compliment, and his ears began to turn slightly red in his hair.Although he believed that he would become a master of potions, but the youngest?Maybe a good idea.

"Hi, I'm Lucius' good friend, Narcissa Black, oh, and of course Harry's good friend." Narcissa didn't wait for Lucius to say anything, stared at Severus eagerly and started to talk , "So, maybe I can call you Severus like them? Of course you can call me Sissy too."

"My pleasure, Sissy."

Severus was a good friend, and it was a good choice to befriend a head of the year.

"You don't need to be humble." Narcissa said with a smile, "I tasted the improved beauty potion you made, and it tastes really good! And, more importantly, its effect is even better than the original one! I Those annoying red streaks on the side of the cheeks are all gone! Now, Severus, how about we talk it over?"

From the conversation between the two just now, Severus already knew her plan, so he said lightly:

"If you want to buy these potions, I suggest you go to Harry. After all, I have promised him that all my spare time in the future will be at his disposal."

"Oh, Merlin! Harry is so cunning!" Hearing what Severus said, Narcissa couldn't help complaining.She is not worried about being ripped off, but why is he taking all the good things?How had he discovered Severus' talent?

After Lucius gave Narcissa a look of "be calm and calm", he began to convey to his lover in a slow tone: "Harry said, from now on, you will be given one week every month to make these two potions, After coming out, set aside the amount needed by the Malfoy family, and the rest will be auctioned inside Slytherin—the highest bidder gets it. Oh, don't worry, Sissy!" He patted Narcissa's arm comfortingly, "Of course, for Take care of the beautiful lady, Sissy can buy these two medicines at the average auction price of the month, as for the quantity, it is up to you and Severus to decide on your own, how about it?"

"Maximum [-] bottles of each type, otherwise the time will not be enough. I promised Harry to eat on time and get enough sleep. You can decide the rest, I have no problem." Knowing that this is what Harry meant, Severer Si nodded in agreement without saying a word.

"[-] bottles, so little..." Narcissa pursed her lips, dissatisfied.Turning her eyes, she had an idea. "Severus, from what you said just now, do you mean that if you have more time, you can do more?"

"Of course." Severus raised his eyebrows slightly, not understanding what she wanted to do.

"How about I help you? You see, two people work faster than one person. During the week when you make these two potions, I will come to help when I have no classes. As for the extra time... ...Do you understand what I mean?" Narcissa thought this was a good idea, as for the potion formula..."I can sign an agreement and promise not to disclose it to anyone, nor to make even a bottle of potion without permission." She Look at Lucius.

"Okay." Lucius nodded.

"You want to be my assistant?" Severus looked up and down Narcissa suspiciously, no matter how she looked like a daughter, she didn't seem to be able to work at all.

"I think I can guarantee this." Lucius said lazily, "Sissy's potion score has always been O, she is a member of the Slug Club and the Potion Club, Slughorn One of the professor's favorites. You will know these two groups in the future, I believe it will not be too long."

Narcissa looked at Severus eagerly, too.

"The assistant may not be qualified enough, but there should be no problem in handling medicinal materials and checking the temperature of the fire. It should save you a lot of trouble."

Severus thought for a while and said:

"A three-day trial period."

"Ah, that's great, Severus, I guarantee you will be satisfied!" Narcissa happily gave Severus a hug, smiled heartily and got up to leave. "You guys continue to talk about the distribution of income. The goal has been achieved, and I will leave first."

Income Distribution?Severus raised an eyebrow, what does it matter to him?

Lucius observed the other party's expression and couldn't help laughing secretly.Harry and Severus are a perfect match.One is to do everything possible to take care of the other party without any trace, and the other is similar to the Enga chick complex of Zhiyu, which completely puts the other party's will first. .It's a tacit cooperation.

So Lucius could only continue to fool Severus with Harry's name.

"Harry said that if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse. So..." He happily watched the person whose face turned dark because he was compared to a "horse" for a while, and then continued to persuade.

"The reason why you are asked to make these two medicines once a week is not only to increase your weight in Slytherin, but also to help you accumulate wealth—although I don't think it's even pocket money..." He curled his lips, "But talking is better than nothing. In Harry's words, this is the first pot of gold in life."

"Of course, after you become a real master of potions, money is just a symbol to you. As long as you think about it, you can definitely get it at your fingertips. However, masters of potions can't be obtained by eating and sleeping. You need to read the book, To do the experiment, the amount needed is not too big but not too small. You can't keep reaching out to your family, can you? I'd like to lend it to you. In my opinion, this is a sure-fire business, but Harry Said that you will definitely not accept...so, you understand."

Lucius gave Severus a few seconds to think about it, seeing that he didn't want to speak, so he continued.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement. I've given you time to think about it. It's invalid to refuse now."

Severus twitched the corners of his mouth, but said nothing.

"Very good." Lucius nodded in satisfaction, he was still sensible, and he was not blinded by inexplicable pride. "Now let's talk about the distribution of income. To be honest, I really think this is a waste of time. It's just such a small amount of money, and it's still distributed...Since you want to save the first pot of gold, you can't give it to you." , aren't we friends?" Seeing Severus' dissatisfied gaze, he shrugged compromisingly, "Okay, okay, business is business! Harry said the same thing, distribution is distribution, whoever makes my life miserable .”

I see you are having fun!Severus gave Lucius a big blank stare unceremoniously.Who has ever seen such a cheap and good-looking person?There is no need to do anything, Harry came up with the idea, and he did it himself. He just talked about it now, and he can sit and wait to collect the money in the future. Is it troublesome?Is this really the excellent and almost perfect heir of the Malfoy family rumored outside?Why are you not lazy? !

Even though he thought so, there was still a hint of warmth in Severus' eyes. Lucius would only show his imperfect side in front of a friend who truly recognized him, right?Only in front of true friends can a Slytherin ignore the other's self-esteem or other emotions, and speak his mind without any scruples.

"Then, you won't deny that Harry and I are one?" Lucius asked happily.

Severus twitched the corners of his mouth again, but remained silent.

"Then, of course, the allocation is calculated as one body. Although we provide the potion materials, we will deduct this part first when calculating the income, and it doesn't cost much. The auction is also entrusted to Sirius. , He has just become the chief and needs to stand up. So, in fact, you are the only one who really contributes among the three of us." Lucius spread his hands and showed a smirk.

Severus was completely speechless.Should it be said that they know people well?Or should we blame them for not being the laziest, only lazier?Why does the more he listens, the more he feels that his life is suffering?

"So, the result of our discussion is, four to six, we four and you six. Another meaning of this distribution is that the decision-making power in this matter is given to you. When you think it's okay, or get bored, you can end it."

Now that he understood that the other party was planning for himself, Severus stopped being pretentious, and readily agreed to Lucius' suggestion, and agreed to start making the first batch of potions from this weekend, the first week of every month After the auction on Friday night, the two ended their conversation and parted ways.

After the first auction, the name of Severus Snape was completely resounded in the Snake Court. As a half-blood without the slightest background, relying on his own strength, he really gained a firm foothold .
