"Lint, it's not that easy to find that fruit!" Snape decided to help Rhys change his bad habits and stop using the elixir fruit all day long. It's unrealistic to use this thing's name to prescribe medicine.

It's not that it can't be used to remove evil effects, but bezoar is more cost-effective.

It's just like when someone is sick and the doctor prescribes medicine: "Take one small elixer fruit after meals."

If you can get the flat peach in the palace of heaven, it can indeed cure the disease, but the question is, can you get it?

It can't be done.

"Professor Snape, Rhys also sold an anti-evil fruit to my father during the summer vacation, so I can still find it!" Daphne raised her hand and said loudly.

Snape's body became slightly stiff. He believed that Daphne was not telling lies because he had also heard about the situation of the Greengrass family. Her father, Mr. Greengrass, had also approached him, hoping that he would prepare an extremely complex potion for his daughter.

So this boy Rhys really has the ability to eliminate dark effects!

The moment he heard the news, Snape was a little moved: This is an extremely rare evil-repelling fruit. If he could get one and study it, he might be able to develop several new potions...

Unfortunately, he couldn't bear to ask Rhys if he had any left shamelessly.

"Okay, it's time for class now." Snape walked to the blackboard expressionlessly and started writing on it.

Malfoy almost had the word "disappointment" written on his face: That guy Rhys even withstood Professor Snape's attacks, what else could he do?

Today's tutorial is about preparing a simple potion to treat boils.

Snape wrote down the materials and steps needed to prepare the potion on the blackboard, and after explaining the key points of the operation, he divided the students into pairs and asked them to start the experiment.

"Dried nettles, snake teeth, slugs, porcupine quills..." Standing in front of the public material cabinet in the Potions classroom, Rhys put the potion materials he selected from the cabinet into the box held by Daphne.

"Before making the potion, you must have all the materials before you can start." While looking for the materials, he was not idle and began to tell Daphne the details of preparing the potion.

It's not that Rhys wanted to show off his skills, he did it completely subconsciously. Because a thousand years ago, he had repeated this operation countless times, so that it formed a conditioned reflex.

"You must pay attention to the quality of raw materials, and do not use rotten materials—even if they are only damaged, my advice is to throw them all away."

"If possible, make sure you use the same batch of materials. I don't know if you understand—"

"..."

Snape, who was standing not far away, looked on with cold eyes and listened quietly to Rhys's words. After listening for a while, he was surprised to find that the child got everything to the point.

He doesn't look like a new student, but like an old pharmacist who has been immersed in the potion shop for more than ten years after graduation.

He knows a lot about potions and possesses an extremely rare evil-repelling power. Whose child is Rhys Lint? Why haven't I ever heard of any potion family named Lint?

Rhys returned to his seat with Daphne and the ingredients for the potion, then weighed dried nettles, crushed venomous snake teeth, and cooked slugs with tentacles...

During this period, Professor Snape dragged his long black cloak around the classroom, observing and correcting the movements of the little wizards.

He was extremely strict with the students' movements, and almost all of them were criticized by him, except for Rhys, Daphne, and Malfoy.

Malfoy was exempted because his father, Lucius Malfoy, had a good relationship with Snape. Rhys was because his movements were really impeccable and Daphne was not making mistakes under his guidance.

While others were still busy dividing the materials, Rhys' potion was almost ready.

He even had time to explain key points to Daphne next to him every step of the way! Snape felt that if he didn't use a wand, even if he could operate it himself, he would take no less time than that.

"Do you understand? If there is enough time before the class ends, I will let you do it alone." Rhys spoke to Daphne like a real teacher - he moved too fast, and only Rhys completed the potion alone. The experiment that was supposed to be completed jointly by two students was completed, which was not good for Daphne's growth.

"Yeah." Daphne nodded repeatedly, the parchment in hand filled with notes.

A plume of acidic green smoke suddenly erupted from the underground classroom, followed by a loud hissing sound. Seamus' cauldron was burned somehow, and the potion in the pot spilled onto the stone floor and flowed everywhere.

Snape's pupils suddenly dilated and his blood pressure began to rise, but before he could have an attack, "No worries" Rhys had already taken out his wand and waved it towards the ground.

The potion that was spread, rolled into a ball, and then he controlled it and threw it into an abandoned crucible in the corner of the classroom.

The operation was so smooth that most of the little wizards who were looking at the scene were all dumbfounded. Rhys was still helping Daphne and solved this problem without even seeing what was happening.

It was as if nothing had happened! Only the twisted crucible, the corroded table, and the stained floor silently told of the recent changes.

Why is this kid so skilled?

Although Snape was confused, his reaction was extremely swift. He roared: "Idiot boy! "I suppose you added the porcupine quills before
taking the cauldron off the fire, didn't you?"

After scolding Seamus, he ordered Seamus' partner Dean Thomas to take Seamus, who was stained with a lot of potion and grimacing in pain, to the infirmary.

"5 points to Slytherin for Mr. Lint's quick response"

After finishing the emergency response, he looked at Rhys and praised his quick handling without hesitation, and gave Slytherin five points. Of course, it is also appropriate to deduct points from Gryffindor who made the mistake.

"Everyone has to write a one-foot-long paper introducing the process and key points of preparing the potion for boils. It is due before class next week." After leaving an assignment of "large quantity and full control", Snape announced the end of class and kicked all the little wizards out of the Potions classroom.

He had to seize the time to deal with the potions and garbage left by the little wizards, put the unused potion materials back to their original places, and replenish the supplies needed by the students in the next class. The tables and floors burned by Seamus were also waiting for him to be fixed.

Only after finishing all this will he have time to have lunch. Perhaps this was the reason for his grumpy temper.

But these have nothing to do with the little wizards after class. The Gryffindor wizards had no more Potions lessons after surviving these two, and the Slytherin students still needed to take an Herbology lesson.

They stepped on the stone steps out of the underground classroom and quickly left there. Even without Snape's declaration, they would leave as quickly as possible.

Rhys also heard the Weasley boy comforting Potter with his brother's example, and then reminding him that he had to visit Hagrid.

"Are you free on the weekend? I think I can teach you some spells on the weekend." Rhys calculated the time and set an appointment to teach Daphne the spells.
