Merlin sighed. It seemed that he was too kind.

If Dumbledore hadn't pointed it out to him, he would have almost never thought of this.

From the fact that materials on dragons were still circulating in Diagon Alley, it could be seen that the people in the Ministry of Magic didn't care about the situation of dragons at all.

The so-called protection was mostly just symbolic.

After all, magical animals like dragons have great power.

If he could successfully tame a dragon, then the Ministry of Magic would be eager to let him help tame some to serve the Ministry of Magic.

《The Daily Prophet might even publish a special edition to promote the first wizard in the magic world to tame a dragon.

After thinking this through, Merlin felt no pressure at all. He happily left the headmaster's office and went back to think about how to tame a dragon.

After Merlin left, McGonagall and Sprout reappeared in Dumbledore's office.

"Albus, are you sure this is a good decision?"

"Let a first-year student try to tame a dragon? What if something goes wrong?"

McGonagall clenched her hands, her face full of worry.

Although Professor Sprout didn't say anything, his expression was not relaxed either.

"Don't worry, Minerva, Pomona."

Dumbledore looked towards the Forbidden Forest.

From time to time, a faint red light lit up in the window of Hagrid's hut.

"I've seen the situation of the little dragon"

"For unknown reasons, it gained the ability to breathe fire half a year earlier than the average fire dragon, and even its flames are stronger than those of the average fire dragon."

"But, Merlin used the most perfect freezing spell I have ever seen."

"Absolute zero.

Dumbledore raised his wand.

A torch on the wall was suspended in the air, exactly the same as Merlin's operation in the afternoon.

But it soon disappeared into the air.

Dumbledore shook his head slightly.

"Although I don't know why, I always feel that Merlin uses this spell better than I do."

"So, I think we all don't realize the strength of Mo Lin."

"Maybe he can really become the first wizard to tame a fire dragon."

McGreg and Sprout were silent.

They really had no experience in treating such a talented little wizard, so all they could do was let Merlin develop freely.

"In addition, the scholarship issue can be implemented. You can prepare it first. I will also tell Flitwick and Severus."

"Okay, professor!"

……

While the professors were discussing Merlin's situation,

Merlin had already returned to the dormitory.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, he saw Ernie and Justin holding potions and torches, with resolute faces as if they were attending a funeral.

"Is someone going to accept Merlin's teachings?"

Merlin joked

"No, not yet, but if we don't finish Snape's homework tonight, we will have it tomorrow."

""Ah, huh?"

Merlin was a little confused.

Could it be that the homework they wrote couldn't pass Snape's test?

That shouldn't be the case, right?

"Of course it passed, but it was in your name."

Ernie sighed and explained what happened in the potions class.

Merlin had a complicated expression after listening.

Although they did use their own potion talents, what did Snape mean by saying this in front of so many people?

Couldn't he submit his own article to the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association?

What did he mean by bringing his own research?

Of course he knew that this theory was good.

But now he has an alchemy talent, which is already amazing.

If he has another potion talent, he thinks it's a bit too much.

No, he has to find Snape to explain it clearly!

Merlin just had an idea.

A house elf suddenly appeared at his desk and bowed.

"Dear Mr. Merlin! Professor Snape sent me to ask you to come to his office."

"Hmm?"

Molin was a little confused.

The elf's voice was not important, but his two roommates seemed to have not seen or heard the elf speak at all.

"Mr. Merlin, this is the magic of the elves, there is no other malicious intention"

"OK, I understand. Go tell Professor Snape. I'll be there now."

"As you command, sir!"

The elf snapped his fingers and turned into smoke and disappeared from Mo Lin's sight.

The two roommates came back to their senses and asked if something had happened just now. They seemed to have no reaction, but they forgot something.

"It's okay, I suddenly remembered that I have to go out for a while, you guys continue."

Merlin left the dormitory and went to find Snape.

Snape's office is located in the basement of the castle.

It is not known whether Snape likes darkness or needs to store potions.

The office has no windows and very few lights.

It is the same as the standard style of Slytherin.

Stone walls and stone floors, a pot-shaped bonfire hanging from an iron chain, and it is not known where it was bought from or whether Snape made it himself.

There is no smoke or smell, and even the shadow is only a little under the feet.

There are more than a dozen crucibles of different sizes placed beside the office, half of which are empty, and the other half are filled with liquids of various colors.

Bubbling and gurgling.

A house elf, oh, the one who went to Merlin's dormitory just now, is now adding materials to the crucible.

The shelves on the wall are full of sealed jars and brewing labels. Book.

Merlin recognized some extremely rare materials among them.

The stinger of the manticore, the fangs of the night star, the eggs of the fire ash snake, the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider...

In addition, there are some materials that are not even allowed to be circulated openly in the market.

Calculated using the public prices in Diagon Alley.

Snape's wall of materials is worth at least tens of thousands of Galleons.

And he knew that Snape had a more private storage room.

The materials here are so precious.

Could it be that the private storage room contains banned materials and precious potions that are prohibited from trading in various countries?

Merlin couldn't help licking his lips, and he had an urge to rob Snape.

As the old saying goes, murder and arson will bring you a golden belt. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

If this robbery is successful, he will immediately have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Galleons.

"Merlin, don't look at my materials like that. Every material here is enchanted with anti-theft spells and curses."

"Unless you can escape from Hogwarts in less than a minute, don't bother with them."

"Of course! Professor, I'm just taking a look!"

Mo Lin smiled, but he didn't believe it at all.[]

No, I should say I don't believe a single punctuation mark. Of the potions in Snape's place, he alone knew that they had been stolen three times.

Hermione in the second grade, Barty the Younger in the third grade, and Dobby in the fifth grade.

From students to colleagues to house-elves, they were all stolen, and no one even knew who the thief was. He was still bragging about his anti-theft measures.

Merlin didn't want to say anything.

But on second thought, he felt that there seemed to be reasons. In the case of Hermione, it was very likely that Snape was behind the scenes to help.

Otherwise, the second-year students just happened to steal the materials for making Polyjuice Potion, which was a bit unlikely.

Dobby's was more direct.

The target was Gillyweed, and after it was lost, Snape went to Harry to point out that he had lost it.

These two were most likely letting Harry go.

As for Barty the Younger?

Snape should have been working as a double agent at the time, and it was very likely that he received an order from Voldemort, so he allowed Barty the Younger to take it away.

Thinking of this, Merlin was even more impulsive, and he began to look around.

"Ha, you'd better be."

Snape looked at his eyes and waved his wand to cast more than a dozen anti-theft spells in front of him.

Merlin recognized the Howling Spell, the Alarm Spell, the Trap Spell, the Confusion Spell... and some that Merlin didn't recognize, which were probably spells developed by Snape himself.

Seeing this, Merlin was speechless.

Okay, okay, just go easy on them and make it more difficult on my side, right?

Wait!

One day he will break these spells and let Snape know how powerful he is.

Snape didn't care about Merlin's eyes.

After doing all this calmly, he waved his hand to let the elf clean the table and brought two cups of tea.

"I'm not used to eating desserts, you don't mind, right?"

"mind"

"……"

"That's not the case, Merlin Hantle!"

Snape said fiercely

"Well, if there is nothing, then there is nothing. Professor, is there anything you want me to do?"

Mo Lin pretended not to know and asked again.

"Your two idiot roommates copied your homework, shouldn't you explain this first?"

"Homework, what homework?"

Mo Lin blinked.

"Professor, you clearly exempted me from the assignment, but I don't remember writing it."

"……"

Snape's expression froze for a moment, not expecting this answer.

He quickly returned to his normal expression.

"Merlin Hantel, there is no point in playing word games in front of me."

"We all know that they are not at the level to have this theory, it is obvious that you are teaching them"

"But these two idiots don't understand the value of what you give them."

After a pause, Snape looked at a magazine on the table.

"I think you could try submitting to the Extraordinary Pharmacists Association"

"Two manuscripts can be combined into one, which will be more meaningful."

"If you are lucky, you can still make some achievements in potions before graduation, and maybe you can apply to join the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association."

"Of course, the premise is that you study hard with me."

Snape put his hands in front of him, wrapped his robe tightly, and his whole body was full of strangers.

Mo Lin thought about it and shook his head regretfully.

"Sorry, professor, I may not have time for the time being, so I won’t apply this time."

"What?"

Snape was stunned, thinking he had misheard something.

He couldn't understand why someone would reject the application of the Extraordinary Apothecary Association.

In the wizarding world, being able to join the Extraordinary Apothecary Association means the identity of a potion master.

Whether it is refining potions, creating and researching potions, or tutoring potion exams, you can earn quite a lot of Galleons.

Some families are even willing to pay a fixed support fee to support a potion master.

Even he himself did not say that he had no time to apply.

But Merlin actually said that he had no time to apply.

This is not contempt for potions, but contempt for him!

Snape's eyes were gloomy, and he spoke coldly

"So, Mr. Merlin, as your Potions professor, do I have the honor to know what you spend so much time on?"

After hearing this, Merlin's face remained unchanged, and he was ecstatic in his heart.

Tsk tsk tsk tsk.

He was still worrying about how to show off, and Snape took the initiative to ask.

Good man! Such a good man!

Well, now no one can stop him.

He is going to start showing off!
