"That's right, as a teaching assistant in Potions class, I believe that Miss Kaslana, you will be more experienced in identifying potion materials than most of the students here. After all, you will also help Professor Snape in the senior class.

Handing out potion ingredients, right?"

Potions Assistant? Professor Snape? Distributes potions?

Elena raised her eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.

So that’s it. Is this Professor Slughorn secretly gathering information? This kind of probing question can reveal too much information inadvertently. No wonder people would easily tell him about it decades ago.

Get it out.

It seems that the spicy old carrot has not exposed her bottom, which means - the stage can be lit up!

"But, but I... you may not understand very well. It's not because of my knowledge..."

Under Slughorn's gaze, Elena lowered her eyes in embarrassment and rubbed her fingertips nervously.

"The reason why Professor Snape made an exception and made me a teaching assistant is mainly because my magical healing ability can help everyone in time when emergencies occur in the classroom... I just obtained the title of Junior Therapist some time ago.

His qualifications, attainments and depth of knowledge in potions may not be as outstanding as Professor Slughorn thinks."

"Wait, what are the qualifications of a junior therapist?!"

Slughorn was stunned for a moment and repeated softly in disbelief.

"Well, this is the special assessment that grandpa applied for for me -"

Elena nodded her head proudly and stopped abruptly in the middle of her words, waving her hands with a horrified expression.

"Ah! Oops, I promised Professor Dumbledore not to tell anyone else for the time being. This involves an agreement between Grandpa and Professor Dumbledore. In short, if you ask Professor Dumbledore directly later, he should probably...

…”

"Grandpa? Therapist?"

Horace Slughorn pondered all his thoughts for a few seconds, and suddenly several strange hints that Albus Dumbledore had hesitated to say flashed through his mind, as well as some strange hints from his "club members"

of gossip.

Wait! Could it be that the grandfather this girl is talking about is that——

Slughorn suddenly remembered the two old men sitting next to Dumbledore at the Hogwarts welcome dinner yesterday.

Everyone already knows the identity of one of them, the legendary great alchemist, Nico Flamel; then by analogy, the identity of the other old wizard who is temporarily aliased as Otto Apokalis

It's definitely not ordinary.

Slughorn, who likes to observe human beings, keenly noticed that Flamel and Professor Apokalis occasionally talked.

This also means that there must be the possibility of communication between the two in some fields...

Horace Slughorn was not one of those mediocre, ignorant officials from the Ministry of Magic. As a potions master who had been immersed in the field of potions for most of his life, so much information was intertwined that the figure appeared almost instantly.

Answer.

If he guessed correctly, the unfamiliar Professor Otto Apokalis was probably a legendary healer who was active in a similar era to Flamel, and another owner of the Philosopher's Stone in the literature recorded in the magic world today.

Paracelsus - There were indeed rumors that this wizard reappeared and that a descendant entered Hogwarts.

There is no doubt that Elena Kaslana is most likely the "little princess".

In this way, everything can be explained, and Elena Kaslana's excellence in the field of healing magic, the girl's many privileges, and Dumbledore's previous additional reminders are also natural.

"Oh, Miss Kaslana, I understand...I understand!"

Slughorn's attitude became a little more enthusiastic, looking at the super potential stock kindly.

Of course, he would not be stupid enough to expose Paracelsus' disguise. At least in today's Potions class, it is obviously not that suitable, but this does not mean that Slughorn has no way to express his friendliness.

.

"Miss Kaslana, it doesn't matter, just tell me as much as you know..."

Slughorn smiled and said, "A friend of mine once said that the elder in your family has quite good knowledge in diseases and toxins. If you are willing to take this opportunity to share a little bit with everyone? As a reward...

…”

He paused, seeming to be thinking about what kind of gift he should give so that it wouldn't look so out of place.

"If possible, could you let me join that club?"

At this moment, Elena suddenly raised her head, looked at Slughorn nervously, and asked cautiously.

"I have always wanted to get to know more outstanding seniors who have graduated from Hogwarts. Senior sisters, I heard that Professor, you have a small group of outstanding students. I wonder if you can help me write a letter to make an appointment with them.

…”

"Of course! Of course - very good!"

Horace Slughorn's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly in agreement.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the chubby Potions professor glanced at the other students in the classroom, cleared his throat unnaturally, frowned and thought for a while, and added another sentence seriously.

"However, the premise is that your analysis of those potion materials must still be valuable. On the one hand, it can be recognized by me, and more importantly, it can allow other students to learn something. Otherwise, you still have to write the letter.

do it yourself."

"Then, let me briefly introduce these potion ingredients-"

Elena smiled sweetly, stood up very naturally, and walked to the blackboard at the front of the classroom.

"If possible, Professor Slughorn, can you cooperate with me later and provide a little assistance? It's mainly to handle and demonstrate some of the processes of potion materials. It's not a troublesome matter-"

"Of course." Slughorn stroked his beard confidently and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Professor Slughorn."

Elena's lake-blue eyes flickered, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the little Daimao swayed from side to side proudly.

Compared to the time when she tricked Severus Snape a year ago, in the past more than a year of practicing Potions class, Elena has been in the process of transforming the Potions Master into a star chef.

But I have quite a lot of experience and practical information.

And now, it's finally time to test whether the methodology is feasible...
