Chapter 185 Senior's Old Textbook

After finding the page that recorded the Philosopher's Stone, Kyle put the book on the table and read it carefully.

"The greatest achievement of ancient alchemy, a magical substance with amazing functions, can turn any metal into pure gold, and can also make an elixir of life, so that people who drink this medicine will never die.

The Philosopher's Stone has appeared three times in history, and each time it appeared, it would trigger an extremely tragic war.

The longest war lasted for twenty years, and the country that owned the Philosopher's Stone at that time was razed to the ground in the tenth year.

Because each appearance is accompanied by countless blood, the Philosopher's Stone is also called the Bloody Gem.

Among the three Philosopher's Stones, Merlin and King Arthur once jointly destroyed one, and the other was eventually obtained by Rowena Ravenclaw. She joined three friends and built the famous Hogwarts at the cost of the complete destruction of the Philosopher's Stone.

The only remaining Philosopher's Stone currently belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, a famous alchemist and opera lover."

After this introduction, there is also a picture of the Philosopher's Stone.

It was a bright red stone with an irregular shape, a bit like an unpolished ruby.

Kyle stared at it for a long time, carefully examining every angle, and only closed the book when Cedric came to call him to eat.

On the way to the Great Hall, Kyle returned the book just before the library closed.

Although Madam Pince felt a little strange, she didn't say anything, just thinking that Kyle was looking up information for homework.

For a period of time afterwards, Kyle didn't care about the Philosopher's Stone anymore, but focused all his energy on Snape's notes.

Although Snape looked sloppy and didn't wash his hair, his notes were very detailed.

And he carefully marked and explained many places, so it was very easy to understand the meaning when reading.

Because of the notes, Kyle suddenly thought of something.

During the night tour that day, he deliberately went to the underground classroom and found the worn-out "Advanced Potion Making" in a closet in the corner.

There was also a line of small words on it: "This book is the property of the Half-Blood Prince."

"Tsk tsk, Half-Blood Prince... I didn't expect Snape to be so immature." Kyle put the book in his arms without hesitation, planning to buy a new one in a few days and put it in.

In this way, time quickly came to December.

Hogwarts was covered with a thick layer of snow, and hard ice formed on the lake.

As Christmas approached, the little wizards were much more excited than usual. The professors had to deduct at least a dozen points from each class to make them focus a little.

Of course, a few professors' classes were exceptions.

For example, Professor Binns would not deduct points.

And Professor Snape... Not to mention the holiday, even if it was tomorrow, no one dared to slack off in his potion class.

Today was the same. In the underground classroom, everyone was seriously studying the process of brewing new potions, and even if they occasionally communicated, they would deliberately keep their voices to a minimum.

Snape was standing behind Kyle at this time, watching him with a strange look as he used the back of a knife to crush the sleepy beans to get the juice.

"What the hell is going on? I really met Merlin..." Snape complained in his heart.

A few days ago, he found that Kyle had made rapid progress in potions, which was a big improvement over his previous level.

But the problem is that Kyle was already very good at brewing potions, and it was impossible for him to improve so much in a short period of time.

Snape suspected that Kyle had peeked at the notes he prepared for Connor.

So in this class, he skipped the original hair-standing potion and chose the more difficult life and death water, which would only be learned in the sixth grade.

Because the notes he gave Connor only had content before the fifth grade, if it was a sixth-grade course, Kyle would definitely be beaten back to his original form.

Snape had thought it through. No matter whether Kyle could successfully brew the life and death water in the end, he would find various reasons to deduct 50 points.

This is not difficult. The water of life and death is a very complicated potion to make. There are many steps and it is troublesome. If you operate it well, it is okay to deduct 100 points.

He wants to let Kyle know how serious the consequences are if he reads the notes without his permission.

But now... he suddenly found that he couldn't understand what was going on.

Kyle's process of squeezing the sleepy beans was perfect. Even if he operated it, he couldn't do it better.

And this little trick was obviously not in the notes. After all, Connor next to him was still struggling to use a knife to cut those slippery beans.

Snape frowned.

Didn't Kyle read those notes?

No, even if he was a genius, it was impossible for him to make such rapid progress in a short period of time.

Let's see, maybe he was just lucky and stumbled upon it.

With this idea in mind, Snape didn't go anywhere in this class and stood behind Kyle all the time.

Even if a little wizard blew up the crucible, he just threw the other party out of the classroom with his wand.

When the get out of class was over, Snape looked at the perfect water of life and death in Kyle's cauldron, opened his mouth, but could not say anything critical, and finally could only snort coldly.

"How did you do it!"

"What did you say?" Kyle asked in confusion.

"I mean..." Snape said stiffly with a straight face: "Why did your potion level improve so fast."

"I don't know either. It might be because of Dean Sassia of St. Mungo's." Kyle said with a smile: "She taught me a lot during the summer vacation and gave me a lot of potions for reference."

"Pegasus Sassia?" Snape narrowed his eyes.

Snape was certainly familiar with one of the greatest pharmacists of the time, but he didn't think Kyle's recent progress had anything to do with him.

Maybe there was... but it was definitely not the main reason, otherwise he would have seen it as early as the beginning of the school year, how could it have been delayed until now.

"Tell the truth!" Snape stared at Kyle's eyes and said coldly.

"I don't understand what you mean, professor." Kyle blinked and said seriously: "This is all true. If you don't believe it, you can ask Dean Sassia in person, and she will testify for me.

Oh, by the way, I recently met an enthusiastic senior, and the old textbooks he used back then also benefited me a lot."

Snape's face became worse. He looked at Kyle deeply, then turned around and left, leaving the potions classroom without looking back.

If he doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it. Why is he talking about the old textbooks of senior students... Doesn't he know the level of those people?

Let alone those crooked melons and jujubes now, even if we push it back ten years, no one can make such a perfect water of life and death in the classroom!
