Chapter 114 Be a person
In October, the chills set in, and colds began to be prevalent at Hogwarts.Madam Pomfrey then got busy, pouring bottles of refreshment potions for the students.
Outside the window, the wind and rain were blowing, and the big raindrops hit the window, forming a sonata with a strange rhythm.
Accompanied by the sound of rain and humming an out-of-tune tune, Alice carefully flipped through the psychological questionnaire.
"Remind again, this is my office, you have your own." After writing a big P on the parchment, he glanced at the name on the top, and after confirming that it wasn't Slytherin, Snape looked blank. He put it aside with a smile on his face.
"I'm also doing it for the good of the students," Alice explained.
In front of Alice, most of the students at Hogwarts can be described as bold.One month into school, after finding out her temper, the counseling room became the most popular place for everyone.
The Weasley twins, in particular, visit the counseling room on time at two o'clock every afternoon from Monday to Friday.As for the original working hours, weekends, there is no one at all.
After seeing through their purpose of skipping classes, Alice can only go to the office on weekends.
See her elsewhere?Alice said that during non-working hours and non-working occasions, she is just the operator of the Hall store.She has never heard of psychological counseling.
"So you didn't even go to the Halloween party?" Snape finally put down his quill after reading the last paper he didn't know what to say.
"If I remember correctly, you've always had a special interest in Halloween and Christmas and parties."
"People change." Alice looked unnatural, "I've grown up, and I don't like too much noise."
"You didn't skip dinner on purpose because you were fat, did you?"
"Haha, how is it possible." Alice laughed dryly, "I think I was too thin before, it's better to be fatter, look good and be healthy."
Nodding, Snape didn't pierce her careful thoughts: "According to Muggle research, dieting can only reduce weight in a short period of time, and the harm outweighs the benefits. Not only is it very likely to rebound in the later stage, but it will also affect immunity."
"I believe that with your IQ, you shouldn't do such an irrational behavior."
Alice didn't change her face: "Of course, how could I do such an unhealthy thing?"
"However..." She couldn't help fiddling with the broken hair on her forehead, "We are wizards after all, and our physiques should be slightly different from Muggles."
Snape glanced at Alice: "If you are interested in this kind of question, I suggest you ask that Gavin."
Alice joked that Gavin might have dissected the wizard. She didn't believe it herself, but Snape was a little bit convinced.
Since a weighing scale that can detect magic can be invented, this Muggle is by no means simple.The gap between ordinary people and wizards is too great. If this kind of thing can be researched by pure guesswork, then Gavin is not a genius but Merlin reincarnated.
The population of wizards is very small, and it is definitely impossible to kill them quietly.And being able to send the weighing scale in a clear manner shows that he is not afraid of being traced by others.
In this way, there are only a few possibilities left.The radical point is that he bought the wizard's corpse for dissection by means, and the conservative point is that he purchased magic props for measurement experiments.
Given that scales were used to measure wizard power, Snape preferred the former possibility.
Although he made a rough guess, he has a weak sense of morality and doesn't think there is anything wrong with this kind of behavior.In addition, he was not sure about Alice's attitude towards this kind of experiment, so he couldn't say much.
Moreover, Snape rubbed the space between his brows, he was even more afraid that Alice would be excited to find a wizard's corpse for autopsy after she found out.At that time, I am afraid that Azkaban will have a new Ravenclaw graduate.
"Of course, I don't have the need to lose weight." Alice talked eloquently without noticing Snape's distraction, "But losing weight is the need of most witches. I think there must be a big market for weight loss potions."
"Well, I think so too."
"Is that right?" Alice, who was recognized, became even more excited, "I think it will be no problem to develop weight-loss potions with your strength. I will sell them for you at that time, and the proceeds will be divided into [-] to [-]%. You and me three."
"You're not called Severus at this time." Snape didn't intend to let Alice go.They are usually not big or small, and they start to be called honorifics when they ask for something. How can there be such a good thing in the world.
"Hehe, the occasion is different." Alice sat up straight with a serious face, "A personal relationship is a personal relationship, and a business is a business."
The brothers are still clear about it.Although she likes the professor, isn't she still chasing her?If people don't catch up and earn money, wouldn't it be a big loss.
"Simply put, weight loss potions are impossible." Not knowing Alice's treacherous thoughts, Snape said flatly.
"Why?" Alice felt as if she was being shocked by an electric shock, "Isn't it just the hair growth potion?"
"That's because you already have hair follicles, it's just to promote hair growth." Snape looked at Alice's lush blond hair, who immediately covered his head cautiously, "You didn't find all the magical things that change people's bodies and appearances?" Aren't the effects of medicines, such as shrinking potions and polyjuice potions, permanent?"
"I see." Alice took out a notebook from nowhere and recorded it carefully, "As expected, compared to herbalism, I still know too little about potions."
"Then I have another question." She raised her left hand.
"Say."
"In many cases, the duration of magic, such as the duration of the Transfiguration Spell, is related to the wizard's magic power. Then, do potions have similar properties, such as duration, effect, etc., that are related to the efficacy of potion materials?"
It was a very novel idea, Snape pondered for a while, and quickly pointed out the problem: "I told you in the first grade that potions are the product of mixing and coordinating various materials under the guidance of magic power. Changing a certain The medicinal properties of the material will only break this balance."
"Okay." Alice lowered her head, "I thought it was too simple."
"However..." Snape was thoughtful, "Take the compound decoction as an example, if the medicinal properties of the sapweed itself are increased, it is only necessary to increase the leeches, lacewings, African bark and bicorn feet accordingly." The medicinal properties are enough. It’s just that how much will be increased, and whether the formula ratio and production method will be changed after that is unknown.”
Alice suddenly seemed to have drunk a beauty potion, and her whole face glowed: "That is to say, this is feasible?"
"Theoretically yes."
"Great!" Alice slapped the table, "I'm in charge of cultivating herbs, and you're in charge of experimenting with potions. When the time comes to develop the permanent deformation compound decoction, shrinking potion, etc., the Merlin Medal will be in hand!"
"You still care about the Order of Merlin?" Snape raised his eyes in surprise, "I thought you would say that this is a big money-making business, and it will definitely attract countless women."
"It's mainly because I haven't had time to say it yet." Alice waved her hand, "I'm a layman. Although money, fame and fortune are less tempting to me than knowledge itself, it's not impossible."
Although many people commented that she was a young and promising Ravenclaw, Alice always felt that this Ravenclaw was not so typical.
Maybe it's because of her poor life, which is different from the traditional Ravenclaw's attitude of focusing on academics and treating money like dirt. She is eager for money.
"But it's not important." Alice no longer struggled with this point, "We can think about what to do first, such as what kind of material to try to cultivate—"
In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped, half-closed her eyes, and opened and closed her mouth several times.
Seeing this, Snape took a sip of water unhurriedly.
"Ah, sneeze!" After a big sneeze, Alice touched her nose, but fortunately there was no runny nose.
"Get your own pick-me-up," said Snape.
Sneezing when talking about business, completely lost momentum.Unhappily, Alice took out a bottle of refreshing potion from the potion cabinet and drank it down.
The medicine took effect very quickly, she closed her eyes drowsily, puffs of steam rose from under her blond hair, and her whole head seemed to be on fire.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Snape smiled imperceptibly.
In less than a minute, Alice felt refreshed again.After counting silently, she suddenly opened her eyes, saw Snape's calm expression, and nodded in satisfaction.Well, no falling stones.
"Skipping dinner will affect immunity." Snape repeated what he had said before.
"I don't think the connection is absolute. Recently, many people have caught a cold in the castle, and I have a high probability of being infected."
"Doesn't this prove that your immunity has declined?"
"Of course not." Alice shook her head again and again, "Others have caught a cold too, which only proves that the virus is strong."
After staring at Alice for a while, Snape suddenly said, "Have you never thought about the problem with the scale?"
"It's okay to weigh Fuqiu on that scale." Alice said blankly.
Snape didn't speak.
"You mean..." Alice's voice began to tremble.
Snape still didn't speak.
Thinking of the Halloween banquet she missed, and the delicacies that might appear at the banquet, Alice's chest began to rise and fall: "Does that mean I'm not fat at all?"
"You deducted fifteen points. I value fairness more," Snape said.
"Just for points? You have the ability to say fairness to Gryffindor and Harry Potter!" Alice opened her eyes wide in disbelief, then thought of something, and raised her volume again, "You directly Gained fifteen pounds on me?"
"Not gaining weight, just changing the number on a scale," Snape corrected.
"Severus Snape!" Alice slumped on the sofa, "Can you be a human being?"
Snape stopped Alice, who wanted to argue, turned his head slightly, and looked towards the door.
First came the sound of messy footsteps, followed by a hasty knock on the door.
"Dean!"
"Come in," Snape said immediately.
"Dean!" A Slytherin boy ran in in a panic, "Something went wrong!"
