Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 93 It’s time to harvest those Slytherin-brand leeks with stupid people and lots of money!

"Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Nicolás Flamel, did you hear that Professor Snape just praised me for being handsome!"

Lu Mingfei showed off with a smile.

Ever since Lu Mingfei met Snape, he had never heard anything nice coming out of Snape's mouth.

It was as if someone had given Snape a "sarcasm + bad words" buff. No matter what the intention was, the final words would be automatically converted into this format.

However, this does not prevent Lu Mingfei from interpreting his words in reverse.

As the saying goes, "You have a good plan, I have a ladder." Snape sneered, but Lu Mingfei, an optimist, could recode and interpret his words into other formats... All things are naturally in conflict with each other, and one thing always defeats the other!

"It's time you took the bezoars out of your ears," Snape said expressionlessly.

"Oh, thank you for your concern, Professor Snape, I just took it out... By the way, Professor Dumbledore told me that you have some research results on my blood?"

Lu Mingfei chose to stop and turn to the topic.

He has mastered part of "Professor Snape's behavioral habits", so he knows——

This level of "teasing" once or twice a day is enough. If the frequency is more, it will easily lead to Snape deliberately retaliating in other ways, such as maliciously increasing the workload...

It's a bit like the rage bar in the game, except that Snape's rage bar is a little short, only one or two bars.

But this anger bar will be reset the next day! You can play again then.

After all, with Lu Mingfei's ability, it is now difficult for Snape to catch him making mistakes in daily homework or class. If he is serious, there may not be any flaws at all.

If he didn't rely on "teasing" in exchange for a few sarcastic remarks, Lu Mingfei would still feel uncomfortable if he couldn't hear it all day or for a period of time.

“…just got some new ideas.”

Snape paused for a moment, probably deciding between mocking Lu Mingfei in the first half of his sentence or answering the serious question in the second half, and finally chose to let Lu Mingfei go for the time being.

"I still need your blood to cooperate with experimental verification...a lot."

As he said that, Snape's cold eyes glanced at Lu Mingfei, trying to see Lu Mingfei's scared look, and deliberately said in a sinister and understated tone, "But don't worry, I have endless blood-replenishing potions... …”

"Really or not? When I heard what you said, Professor Snape, I was still thinking about whether I should eat some pig's blood to replenish my blood! By the way, I can teach the house elves how to make this dish or something."

Lu Mingfei's eyes lit up: "What does the blood-tonifying potion taste like? Have I drunk it before? Can you improve the taste? Some potions taste really unpleasant!"

"...Do you only have the word 'eat' in your mind?" Snape glared at him.

"We have an old saying in the East that 'food, color, nature' means that 'eating' is the top priority for ordinary people! As a commoner, do I care about what's wrong with eating?"

Lu Mingfei said something plausibly, but he just teased it and quickly turned to the topic.

"But Professor Snape, what is the new idea you are talking about? Let me tell you, the potion you gave me last time was really helpful!
  If it hadn't been for that bottle of potion, I probably wouldn't have been able to come back. Then the magic potion should not be able to be made only once, right? Are the materials expensive? If I could get a ton of them, I would have the confidence to fight for Odin! "

"Stupid, has your brain been hollowed out by Odin? The effectiveness of potions does not lie in the dosage, but in the quality!" Snape snorted coldly.

"And that emergency formula has long been eliminated by me. Now I have four formulas on hand waiting for experimental verification..."

When he said this, Professor Snape suddenly stopped and stopped talking.

"Hey, hey..." Lu Mingfei laughed, and of course he realized why Snape stopped suddenly.

A total of four brand-new potion formulas are still based on theoretical research without physical samples.

Based on Professor Snape's potion skills, it can be expected that these formulas will at least have certain effects, but we don't know the side effects, effectiveness, and durability!

The only research I did, when my own blood was used as the material, took so long, and I was so rushed that I needed to drink a sobering agent to finish the work.

How much time will it take for these four recipes? Seven months, I’m afraid it hasn’t stopped for a moment, right?

"The symptoms and cure of Ariot leaves." Snape said without changing his expression.

“The antidote to hysteria and uncontrollable laughter is the honey of the heartworm.”

Lu Mingfei answered immediately, then rubbed his throat pretendingly, "Well, I feel like I did accidentally eat the Aliote leaves."

Tips from "Professor Snape's Behavior and Habits·Lu Mingfei's Editorial Edition"——

At this time, you can no longer "tease" Professor Snape, and then tease the designated bomb!

……

At the beginning of July, the students throughout Hogwarts were a little restless.

The fifth-grade students passed the ordinary wizard level examination and got their results. Everything has settled. No matter whether their grades are good or bad, they will no longer be worried.

Seventh grade students successfully graduate by passing the Ultimate Wizard Test (NEWT), find their ideal job, or prepare to fight for admission to Azkaban.

Students in other grades are even more carefree and looking forward to the upcoming pleasant summer vacation. At this time, even the students who love learning the most find it difficult to stay in class.

So a piece of news quickly detonated the entire Hogwarts, about the mysterious fifth-year Eastern transfer student Lu Mingfei——

He once allowed Professor Snape to give Gryffindor points for the first time, shocking the entire Slytherin. He was mistaken for "died a hero" and then came back alive. He was found sitting opposite Snape in Professor Snape's office. Lu Mingfei, who ate breakfast, had a close relationship with Principal Dumbledore, and was later said to have "died like a hero"...

He is alive again!
  Oh no, the pair appeared again!
  This latter statement was insisted upon by Bill Weasley, and was unanimously supported by Gryffindor. It's just that several other colleges are more inclined to the former... They firmly believe that Lu Mingfei disappeared in the past seven months.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Professor Snape's temper would become so bad. Not only would the points of the other three colleges be deducted, but the points of his own college would also be deducted!

Some people even swore that they saw Lu Mingfei and Dumbledore going out, and when they came back they looked extremely tired and even had scars on their bodies.

Others said that when they went out for a walk one night, they saw Madam Pomfrey from the school hospital carrying a lot of healing potions in the direction of the principal's office.

Some people even saw the chief doctor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies appearing in the castle with a serious look on his face...

When all the clues are combined, the conclusion becomes obvious.

This also led to the fact that in the past seven months, the rumor that Lu Mingfei "unfortunately failed and died after being assigned a mission to save the world by the great white wizard of the world" has become a fact!
  But now the fact has turned into an illusion. Lu Mingfei, who had been "coffined" by them, crawled out of the cemetery again and appeared in front of them alive.

Even feasting right at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall!

"What the hell!" Lu Mingfei was holding a half-bitten piece of fried fish cake in his hand and was dumbfounded as he listened to Bill Weasley's story.

"Do students at Hogwarts have any special circumstances of 'die like a hero'? I just disappeared for seven months... Okay, seven months is indeed a bit long, but it's not that bad. Just die?"

Lu Mingfei complained softly.

"Actually, it was fine until a Ravenclaw student asked Professor Flitwick about it, and then Professor Flitwick cried excitedly..." Bill whispered.

Their communication had to be kept in a low voice, because almost all the lunch students in the entire auditorium were looking at them, or to be precise, Lu Mingfei.

It seemed that Lu Mingfei was going to throw away the fried fish cakes in his hand and turn into a zombie and throw down a student while yelling "Wow!" in the next second, so that others would think it was reasonable.

"Professor Flitwick?"

Lu Mingfei had a strange look on his face, and the image of a short professor who had to step on a pile of books during class emerged in his mind.

If I remember correctly, I had just encountered Odin and returned to Hogwarts after being pierced by Kungunir. Professor Dumbledore called a bunch of people to come to help.

Almost all the professors from Hogwarts came, including Professor Flitwick.

I say "almost" here because the professor of one class did not come - the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. He was not invited by Dumbledore.

It turns out that Dumbledore has no problem at all in judging people, because just now, Lu Mingfei learned that the professor had resigned for some reason.

The reason was that he accidentally summoned an elephant while reciting the Transformation Spell, causing an extremely serious stampede accident to himself.

Fortunately, one of the students in class at the time was Bill Weasley, who reacted in time and chanted a spell to save the professor's life...

It was really hard for Lu Mingfei to imagine that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor could actually make a mistake with the Transformation Spell. How incompetent he really was!
  But come to think of it, everyone knows about the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.

Anyone who dares to take over this hot potato at this time must either be extremely confident in himself, or his level is so low that he has no place to go, and he really doesn't want to go to Azkaban and take a gamble.

After all, this is Hogwarts, the most prestigious school in the wizarding world with Dumbledore. In the world of ordinary people, it is also at the level of Yale, Cambridge, and Harvard.

If you can work in a place like this, even if you know there are pitfalls, there are probably many people who will be tempted. What if the bet succeeds? There have been similar examples before...

"Professor Flitwick also thought I was dead?" Lu Mingfei pulled back his divergent thoughts.

"In fact, not only Professor Flitwick, but also Professor McGonagall was in a bad mood when asked this question. No one dared to ask Professor Snape, but his performance..."

"So that's it."

When Bill said this, Lu Mingfei understood.

As Dumbledore said, time changes everything, but he is more patient as an old man.

In seven months, these professors who knew some details went from being full of hope at the beginning, to worrying, to completely losing confidence... Such a change is normal.

After all, in their opinion at that time, they were facing the legendary god!

Although Professor Snape has been studying the formula, he probably acted like that because he had a bad guess, right?
  "So, you missed the OWL exam, when are you going to make up the exam?" Bill asked.

"I thought you were going to ask me what I was doing." Lu Mingfei was surprised.

"Since even the professor doesn't know, then I am definitely not within the scope of knowing. Wouldn't it embarrass you if I ask?" Bill shook his head and asked enthusiastically without stopping at this question.

"The OWL exam is very important. You may not have had time to review. Do you need my help? When is the make-up exam specifically?"

"I won't make up the exam, I will just repeat the grade."

When talking about this matter, Lu Mingfei became calm and could even laugh and joke.

"So you will be my senior when school starts after the summer vacation, so you have to take good care of me then!"

As long as you are a salted fish lying flat and rotten, there is nothing to despair about, no matter what, it will just be turned over!

"What," Bill was shocked, "why?"

"Because I am different from you. As a special fifth-grade transfer student, I have to get twelve 'O's' in the OWL exam to successfully enter the sixth grade. Otherwise, I will have to repeat the grade..."

Lu Mingfei sighed: "This condition is very difficult. I feel that those who can achieve it are no longer human beings. And I have my own special reasons.

Forget it, don’t talk about me anymore, your OWL test results should be out, right? What’s the situation? "

Bill: "...just...fine."

"You're such a top student, you can't possibly fail to perform, right?"

Lu Mingfei was confused, but then he suddenly had an idea and said, "Wait a minute, are you the twelve 'O's?"

"...Because the questions given by the teacher are relatively simple..." Bill wiped his sweat, probably because he had just been "expelled" from Lu Mingfei.

"Study God!"

Lu Mingfei grabbed his shoulders solemnly, "Promise me, will you give me the quill you used when you answered the question?"

"Of course you can...but what do you want this for?" Bill wondered, "If you need help making up lessons, just come to me at any time."

"You don't understand. This is the stationery used by the God of Study. If you put it with us, it will be regarded as a 'top scholar's supplies'. It has its own exam aura! If you put it up for auction, wouldn't you be able to make a lot of money casually?" Lu Mingfei said. Be very happy.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't have to spend money at Hogwarts, who would think it was a lot of money? Don’t miss the opportunity to make money!

"Wait a minute, give me all your used quills... No, that's how it should be. I'll buy new quills for you to use. After you use them, you can take them to me for auction. We'll all benefit then. Five to five, how about it?"

"..." Bill was silent for a while. Perhaps Lu Mingfei's tone was too firm, but he finally felt a little moved, "Will anyone really buy this?"

"You may not know what the twelve 'O's are, my friend."

Lu Mingfei patted his shoulder and shook his head, "Believe me, it's time to harvest those Slytherin-brand leeks that those stupid people have so much money for!"
