High-End Goods Not Found on the Market

Snape never imagined that one day he would have to consider how to teach his students not to use magic "so well".

"Your question is complex and requires deeper and more detailed research," Snape said slowly.

"Anyway, you're not in a hurry to use it against Dementor or anything like that. Hogwarts won't have those things, and they're not allowed to infiltrate Muggle society."

Lucien silently thought to himself, "That's hard to say."

He didn't expect to solve the problem of the Patronus Charm with just one tutoring session. The magic itself was very mysterious, and his own Patronus Charm had rare and special characteristics.

Since it involves the soul, it's certainly wise to be cautious.

"Professor, may I see your Patronus Charm?" Lucien asked curiously. "I've never seen the complete casting process of the Patronus Charm."

Without even thinking, Snape refused outright. "No."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize that his refusal was too abrupt and seemed somewhat unusual, so he added:

"The image of Patronus is so iconic that it almost tells others who you are. Generally speaking, a person's Patronus image is fixed. There are exceptions, but they are rare and negligible."

He glanced at Lucien and added:

"If you see Dumbledore using his Patronus to do this and that, don't imitate his methods."

Snape pursed his lips, a strange glint in his eyes:

"Dumbledore different."

Lucien roughly understood what he meant, probably because Dumbledore powerful, so powerful that he didn't need to care about concealing his identity.

Perhaps they can even use their Patronus to announce their arrival in advance—look, I'm coming!

Lucien wasn't surprised by Snape's refusal to demonstrate; he had only asked the question on a whim.

He remembered that Snape's Patronus was a doe.

A doe is not a specific breed of deer, but rather refers specifically to a female deer.

Snape's Patronus, like Harry's mother Lily Evans ' Patronus, is a doe.

As the tutoring session was nearing its end, Lucien proactively asked, "Professor, what should I prepare as payment for your private tutoring?"

Snape nodded slightly, satisfied with Lucien's choice of words.

Unlike some idiots who directly bring up vulgar things like money.

As Potions Master, he certainly wasn't short of money.

"Your alchemy skills are quite good," Snape said. "Have some alchemical tools made to my specifications."

Lucien nodded. "No problem."

Snape thought for a moment, then added, "The Qilin Saliva you gave me before was of excellent quality. Get me some more."

He then emphasized, "I will exchange this part for equivalent items."

The Qilin Saliva can be used directly to heal wounds, but in Snape's view, that would be a terrible waste.

While applying it directly or taking it orally may yield good results, it doesn't fully realize its potential.

Only by adding it to the potion-making process and combining it with other materials can more amazing effects be unleashed.

In fact, Snape had previously used the Qilin Saliva he received from Lucien to make potions and found that its quality was truly excellent.

I've never seen such high-end goods on the market.

Snape didn't directly ask Lucien how he got his hands on the Qilin Saliva; he was just habitually belittling, mocking, and looking down on the foolish and reckless little wizard, and he wouldn't actually steal a child's "things."

The acquisition of the Qilin Saliva was a normal transaction. Lucien obtained Qilin Saliva through his own channels, and acting as an intermediary was part of the reward.

"No problem."

Lucien reached into his pocket, pulled out a crystal pot, and handed it to Snape.

"Professor, is this enough for you?"

Snape looked down and froze.

It was a crystal pot, about the size of two adult fists, completely transparent, filled with a clear liquid that shimmered in the light.

Shouldn't it be placed in a smaller, more delicate container?

One small bottle will last a long time.

This kid just threw out a whole pot of liquor?

What channels did they use to get so much Qilin Saliva...?

A bizarre thought suddenly popped into Snape's mind: Surely Lucien couldn't be keeping a Qilin as a pet, could he?

Is the future leader of the Wizarding World going to be born from Hogwarts?

He shook his head, dismissing the absurd idea.

Snape suddenly remembered that at the Order of Merlin awarding ceremony, Newt Scamander, who was invited to attend, seemed to have interacted with Lucien, and the two seemed to know each other.

If it was through that world-renowned Magizoology, it wouldn't be surprising that Lucien was able to obtain these Qilin Saliva.

"That's enough." Snape took the crystal flask and said expressionlessly, "What do you want in exchange?"

Lucien: "Some potion recipes, books, preferably related to curses and dispelling curses."

Snape was used to Lucien's requests for books.

This child has a strong thirst for knowledge; he always changes the books and the recipes.

I just don't understand why it has to be a potion related to curses.
