Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

'Great! '

Malfoy almost burst out laughing when he heard that.

'It seems that the potion is not too good, but too bad. Just wait, Professor Snape will definitely make him look good. '

Hermione and Harry were a little worried about Dudley, but they could only leave the classroom due to Snape's intimidation.

When everyone left, only Snape and Dudley were left in the classroom.

In all fairness, being alone with Snape was quite stressful, especially in this classroom full of potion ingredients, it was too torturous.

After a short silence, it was Snape who took the initiative to speak.

"Have you done this before?"

Snape took out the bottle of perfect level scabies cure potion.

"No." Dudley shook his head, "This is the first time I've brewed this potion."

Dudley was talking about this potion, not the first time it was made, and this detail was keenly captured by Snape.

"Have you brewed any other potions before?"

"That's right." Dudley nodded, and replied very honestly: "Slight Enchantment Potion, Slow Potion, Strengthening Potion, Bone Raising Spirit, White Fresh Essence, and Blood Tonic."

Listening to Dudlina uttering the names of various potions as if they were declaring the names of the dishes, Snape's expression gradually became complicated from the original calmness.

"show me."

Snape held out a hand to Dudley.

Without further ado, Dudley slowly took out potions from his pocket, and all kinds of finished potions were neatly placed in front of Snape.

"Without your guidance, the level is very limited."

Snape picked up one casually and took a closer look.

"It's really bad, and it's better than the goblins in the sweet potato field."

The straightforward evaluation made Dudley choke up somewhat.

Although these were all made in front of the demons who obtained the data, I am still very satisfied overall, and it is only modest to claim that my level is limited.

Do you understand humility?

As everyone knows, although Snape's face was full of contempt, he was actually quite shocked in his heart.

In terms of the production level of potion, it is much worse than Lily and himself.

But in terms of variety, he and Lily combined in the first grade were not as many as Dudley knew.

Snape was judging by when he and Lily were at the end of first year, while Dudley was just starting school now, and he was clearly self-taught in potions.

Very talented in potions or very talented in cooking. Same as his mother.

'Just a little worse than Lily. '

Snape was a rare master of potions in the entire wizarding world, and he could tell Dudley's talents at a glance.

This reminded him of the few times he had been a guest at Evans' house and tasted Penny's handicrafts, and the taste was really good.

Potions are actually a lot like cooking in a way.

"Your cooking method is very similar to your mother's." Snape said suddenly.

"You know my mother?" Dudley asked.

Snape's expression was a little unnatural: "Some friendship, we used to be neighbors."

Because of her inability to go to Hogwarts, Petunia was not very friendly to the wizard friends who visited Lily's house. She even scolded him for being a freak, saying that the friendship was also because of Lily, and the fifth grade... that incident Then completely cut off contact.

He didn't expect Petunia's son to be able to come to Hogwarts, and he also had a very good talent for potions. He thought that their family was born with Muggles.

"Are you the Mr. Severus my mother mentioned?"

Hogwarts professors don’t have a custom of self-introduction. In the first class, I will tell the little wizards my last name and name. Even if there is Snape, I wouldn’t do that, so the little wizards only know the professor’s name. Last name, as for the specific name, it is unknown.

"Speaking of me?"

Snape obviously paused, and Petunia would mention him to Dudley, which he didn't expect.

"Some time before coming to Hogwarts, my mother told Harry and me a lot about the wizarding world, including some people and things about her and little aunt Lily when they were young."

"Actually, she yearns for this place very much, and also cherishes Aunt Lily's friends."

Petunia has completely untied her knots, and in order to let Dudley and Harry get used to Hogwarts, she told them a lot of information she learned through Lily.

Although many of them date from twenty years ago, the wizarding world hasn't really changed much over the years.

Dudley clearly felt that Snape's body trembled slightly when Aunt Lily was mentioned.

Snape suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Dudley with empty, lifeless eyes until Dudley was a little hairy.

‘I know, Petunia’s child must have inherited Lily’s talent to be so outstanding. '

In fact, according to science, Dudley inherited Lily's talent is actually explainable, but that involves genetics.

If the potion talent is compared to the recessive gene X, both Petunia and Lily have this invisible gene X, but Petunia does not have the conditions to become a wizard, so the invisible gene X is not activated, and Dudley became a wizard, This stealth gene X is activated.

Of course, Dudley prefers to think that this is the change brought about by his coming into this world, and has nothing to do with heredity.

But Dudley didn't think it mattered what it was, Snape thought it was fine.

He stubbornly believed that it was Lily who was guiding him.

Let's see, inheriting Lily's excellent talent for potions, the relationship between Gryffindor and Slytherin's childhood sweetheart, and the exact replica of him and Lily back then, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Of course he's stronger than me.

Professor Snape's physique was relatively thin when he was in school.

What about these wizards? They don't believe in science, but in fate and prophecy.

Even if they are as strong as Voldemort and Dumbledore, they are very superstitious about fate. Voldemort killed the Potter family because of a prophecy, and then he was killed as predicted.

Dudley was different from them, he didn't believe in prophecy, he believed in muscles.

"You..." Snape stared at Dudley seriously, dragged his voice for a long time, and just when Dudley couldn't help but punch him, he continued, "Want to learn potions with me?"

Snape actually planned to pass on the idea of ​​passing on what he had learned in his life very early on, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

The pride of being a master of potions makes him not so high-sighted, nor so picky. If he wants to learn potions from him, he must have at least half of Lily's potion talent, and Lily's potion talent is in the In his heart is infinity, half of infinity is still infinity.

Now he thinks that he said this because he got Lily's guidance, if one day he doesn't think so or Dudley refuses or agrees, then there will be no such opportunity again.

And this is just an opportunity, if Dudley is not capable enough to grasp it, he will still be given up.

In the wizarding world, there is no such habit of accepting apprentices as "a teacher for one day, a father for life".

"Of course, it's my honor, Professor Snape."
