Chapter 234 Infiltration

Mike's progress in learning ancient magic texts was very fast, and he had already learned the phonetic symbols of ancient magic texts in just two days.

Thanks to the completion of the Patronus Charm, Mike now has a lot of time again.

Mike, who was used to being busy, naturally couldn't take any time off, so he turned his attention to Snape again.

…

In the underground classroom of Potions class, Mike was sitting in his seat bored. And in the seat next to him, separated by an aisle, sat a somewhat excited Draco.

In this potions class, Ravenclaw is very rare mixed with Slytherin.

Mike's eyes accidentally glanced at Draco's still bandaged arm, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Draco was discharged from the hospital and Madam Pomfrey claimed that he had recovered, he still insisted on wearing a bandage and splint on his arm to let everyone know how cruel Buckbeak was and how powerful Hagrid was. inability.

This method may seem crude at first glance, but in fact it works surprisingly well.

The vast majority of Slytherins chose to believe Draco. Of course, their butts decided their heads. But there are still many people in other colleges who don't know the truth and believe Draco, which makes Hagrid's situation worse and worse.

Although things were calm on the surface, Mike knew that a high-level battle had begun.

Mike was not worried about Hagrid's safety, after all, he was protected by Dumbledore.

If Hagrid hadn't been protected by Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard of our time, then Hagrid's ending might have been much worse than being expelled as Draco said, and even being imprisoned in Azkaban was not impossible. .

After all, Hagrid is a man with a criminal record, and he also brought a dangerous level 3x creature in front of a group of little wizards who had no ability to protect themselves.

But now there is Dumbledore, and Mike estimates that the final result will be the same as in the original work. Dumbledore will protect Hagrid, and at the same time bring out Buckbeak, a beast that has hurt people, to calm the anger of the Malfoy family and give the Malfoy family a Down the steps.

Draco naturally didn't know about all this. In fact, at this moment, he was still looking forward to seeing Harry's angry and sad face after that stupid big guy Hagrid was expelled.

Just when Mike was thinking wildly, the door to the basement was slammed shut. Mike turned around and saw Professor Snape walking from the door in style.

His huge black cloak swayed in the wind with his imposing steps, making him look like a giant bat.

With his arrival, some of the conversations that were still in the classroom quietly disappeared. Everyone was sitting upright, and even the already cold temperature in the underground classroom felt a few degrees lower.

When Professor Snape stepped onto the podium to face everyone, everyone noticed that Snape was not in a good mood.

Mike naturally knew the reason.

Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class became very popular after taking out the Boggart. Just as Mike said to Lupine at the beginning of the school year, with Quirrell and Lockhart in front of them, Lupine only needs to perform normally. You can become a gem in the eyes of students.

This is obviously something Snape, Lupine's mortal enemy, doesn't want to see.

Especially after he went to Gryffindor's Defense Against the Dark Arts class and was slapped and humiliated by Lupine.

After this incident until now, Snape has been in a bad mood for the past few days. When the students saw this, they naturally would not touch him. After Snape announced the start of class, they quickly took out various Grow potion ingredients and tools.

The potion that everyone is going to learn today is the laughter potion. After telling everyone about the production process, Snape on the stage turned his attention to Draco. When he saw his arm that was still bandaged, he couldn't help but He frowned.

How could Snape not see that Draco was pretending to be ill?

It felt uncomfortable to be watched by Snape, and Draco felt his legs shaking unconsciously.

Pansy on the side raised her hand excitedly.

She liked Draco, and Draco had an injured arm and needed someone to handle his potions.

In the last Potions class, Professor Snape chose to let Harry, a clumsy guy, help Draco. This made Pansy feel it was a pity, so she decided to take the initiative.

It's a pity that Snape's eyes only stayed on Pansy for a moment before falling on Mike.

"Mike, help Draco with the potion."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone on the stage began to whisper. Everyone had heard that Harry was humiliated by Draco in the last Potions class. Unexpectedly, it was Mike's turn this time.

Thinking of this, Ravenclaw's face turned angry, while Slytherin made a few slight laughs.

"Quiet!" Snape roared when he heard the noise, "No noise is allowed in class! Ten points will be deducted from Ravenclaw!"

This time, no one in Ravenclaw or Slytherin dared to speak, but the Slytherins became more arrogant, and their dean still favored them unconditionally.

Mike didn't show much anger, and moved the desk to join Draco's desk with a calm expression.

He wasn't surprised that Snape acted so personally towards him.

To be honest, Snape was actually a very good potions professor. He even lent Mike a intact cauldron when he was in his first year.

In addition, the chemistry knowledge accumulated by Mike as a chef allowed him to show considerable talent in potions, which made Snape's attitude towards Mike actually good at the beginning.

Unfortunately, all this completely changed after Mike had repeated conflicts with Slytherin students.

It can be said that Snape's attitude towards Mike is only slightly better than Harry's.

Draco's recent deeds at Hogwarts had obviously made him a little swollen, and the look he looked at Mike was a little more mocking.

Mike completely ignored Draco's little look, put on his dragon leather gloves and directly reached out and took out a velvet.

The appearance of Pu Rong Rong is spherical, and its body is also covered with dense creamy yellow soft hair.

It is a very cute creature with a gentle temperament and does not object to being hugged or tossed around. Therefore it has become a very popular pet.

Unfortunately, its hair and hair follicles have magical properties and are the ingredients for making laughter potions, so Mike needs to pluck it.

"Hey, Mike." Draco looked a little bored and talked to Mike, "Have you heard? I was scratched by Hagrid's damn monster."

Draco said and raised his arm in front of Mike to show him, but Mike completely ignored him.

This attitude obviously angered Draco, and he raised his eyebrows and continued: "I heard someone said that on the evening of the first day of school, you sat on that beast and went to heaven. Did you also bow to that beast? Really? That’s ridiculous!”

Draco teased Mike unscrupulously, and Mike actually smiled when he heard this and said, "Actually, I quite agree with your approach to the hippogriff."

"ha?"

Draco's laughter suddenly stopped when he heard this, and he looked at Mike with a strange expression.

"To deal with that kind of magical creature with low IQ, direct threat of violence is the right choice. In fact, I did that that evening." The smile on Mike's face became brighter, "You know why I used the same method But was it successful?"

Seeing the smile on Mike's face, Draco's throat twitched and he asked nervously: "Why... why?"

"Because I'm stronger than you! So... don't mess with me!"

As Mike spoke, he fiercely pulled off a tuft of hair from Pu Rongrong's body.

The pain caused Pu Rongrong to cry out in pain, and Draco shivered violently when he heard the sound, and cold sweat slid down his face, as if what Mike had just pulled out was his hair.

Draco was a little absent-minded throughout the rest of the class, keeping his head down and silent, not even daring to look at Mike.

Mike was nonchalant and used the materials on the table to make two laughter potions. The action was so standard and the quality of the potion was so high that even Snape, who wanted to trouble Mike, couldn't fault it.

When Professor Snape announced that get out of class was over, Draco left the underground classroom as if running away, and Mike looked at Draco's somewhat embarrassed figure and smiled and shook his head.

Draco, this naughty kid, was still too young, and he was knocked back to his original shape by such a gentle blow.

Unlike others, Mike did not return directly to the lounge after class, but went directly to Snape's office.

He was going to carry out a dangerous plan today, go to Snape's storage room and take out an old textbook hidden in the cabinet.

If you have read the original work like Mike, then you should know that what Mike is looking for is the famous Half-Blood Prince textbook.

The Half-Blood Prince was the title Snape gave himself during his second year of high school. Mike guessed that the reason why Snape called himself a prince was because he wanted to marry the girl he thought was as beautiful as a princess, that is, Harry's Mother, Lily.

Because in fairy tales, princesses always marry princes in the end.

Of course, this is just Mike's guess.

After all, the brain circuits of teenagers in the second grade of middle school are different from ordinary people, and Mike cannot guarantee the accuracy of his guess.

And that 'Half-Blood Prince's textbook' is actually the 'Advanced Potion Making' that contains Snape's class notes.

"Advanced Potion Making" is the textbook for the newt course on potions. It records a large amount of cutting-edge potion knowledge and formulas, and even includes the elixir that Mike once used.

Just knowing the recipe doesn't mean you can make the finished potion, especially when the content in the textbook is full of loopholes.

Yes, this book, which represented the cutting-edge knowledge of potions, seemed to Snape to be full of loopholes. He had already discovered the shortcomings of many of the potion recipes as a boy and made improvements to them.

It dragged its blessings. In the original book, Harry even made a blessing potion directly after obtaining it!

Thinking of this, Mike couldn't help but sing loudly for Snape's talent!

What kind of talent is this?

The notes he wrote when he was a teenager actually allowed a boy with extremely poor grades in Potions to directly create the top-notch elixir in Potions!

If this were said out loud, it would definitely make countless potions masters feel embarrassed.

In addition, these notes also record some magic spells invented by Snape, the most famous of which is 'The Shadowless Blade'!

This is a powerful spell that can release an invisible blade to slash the enemy.

The most sinister thing is that the wounds caused by the 'Shen Blade Shadowless Curse' cannot be healed by ordinary means. The only way Mike knows that can cure this kind of injury is to use a special counter-spell to crack it.

Mike's current fighting style is too monotonous. He fires out fireballs and just pokes and pokes. He has no power to fight back in front of a truly powerful enemy.

So he now urgently needs some powerful attack spells to expand his spell pool.

The 'Shen Feng Shadowless Curse' is a good choice. It is powerful, has a long range and is fast. It can be shot quietly and its release is invisible...

These characteristics make the 'Shen Blade Shadowless Curse' the most suitable spell for Mike's current combat style. If used well, it can even be stronger than the flame spell.

But it was not easy to get that textbook. Snape was a homebody. Apart from eating, drinking and going to class, he almost always stayed in his office doing experiments and preparing potions.

Fortunately, he was the only Potions professor at Hogwarts, so Snape had to teach all the students in the grade, which meant that Snape was very busy.

After studying the grade-level schedule, Mike saw an opportunity.

After Snape finishes their class, he still needs to help the first-year students teach, which means that there will definitely be no one in Snape's office at the moment.

With this thought, the door to Snape's office appeared in front of Mike's eyes.

In the original book, Hermione once sneaked into Snape's office to get some special materials when she was in second grade, but due to Mike's intervention, this incident never happened in this world.

In other words, the protection level of Snape's office should still be at a level that a two-year wizard can break through.

But he was not wrong. Mike still put on armor protection and a phantom spell before using the unlocking spell on the office.

With a soft sound, the door lock opened.

Mac cautiously entered the office and began rummaging through Snape's locker.

There was an extremely strong smell of potion in Snape's office, which smelled a bit like Chinese medicine and was very unpleasant.

His locker was arranged in an orderly manner, and various potions and medicinal materials that Mike knew or did not recognize were placed in a strange order.

Mike rummaged for a while and found the old "Advanced Potion Making" at the bottom of the locker.

Perhaps Professor Snape was too confident in his majesty, so Mike took away his textbook easily.

Mike, who left the office, walked straight towards the Response Room without any delay.

He can't wait to try the magic inside!
