Suning remembered that he had come into contact with gel snails during the Potions class, but at that time he used processed gel snail shells.

However, now, facing Snape's request, he had to deal with these live gel snails himself.

By the way, let me spread some knowledge. When handling potions, you cannot use magic, so as to avoid damaging the mysterious properties and medicinal properties of the potions.

Suning took the leather gloves on the table, sat down on the ground, and started to separate the flesh and bones of the gel snail.

As soon as he started to do this, Suning's brows couldn't help but frown.

Although the shell of the gel snail is small, it is large enough to fit itself.

Whenever Suning picked up a gel snail, it would immediately retract itself into its shell and begin to release a large amount of mucus.

The mucus not only made Suning's hands sticky, but also emitted an unpleasant smell.

Fortunately, Suning adapted quickly. He endured the unpleasant smell, raised the gel snail in his hand, and looked at it carefully again.

Gel snails can be said to be the snails of the magical world. Apart from their strange colors, smells, and products, they are actually no different from snails in the Muggle world.

(snails:?)

The shell of the gel snail is also very round, with only a small opening for the gel snail to enter and exit.

Suning stared at the small mouth, and soon, the corners of his mouth curled up.

He put the gelatin snail down, removed his gloves, and borrowed an unused quill from Snape.

"Transfiguration!"

Transfiguration can be said to be a very practical magic

The feather pen in Suning's hand turned into a small wooden stick in the blink of an eye.

Yes, it's a toothpick.

If you like eating snails but don't know how to suck the meat, toothpicks will be a great tool for you

Now, this toothpick has become a powerful tool for Suning to deal with gel snails.

Anyway, Professor Snape said that as long as the gel snail's shell remains intact, it should be fine if there are a few holes in the flesh.

Suning put on his gloves again and used a toothpick to pick out the snail worms clumsily.

Soon, Suning pierced the flesh of the gel worm and dug out the juice.

"hey-hey"

Suning couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.

Practice makes perfect. Suning gradually mastered the skills and increased his speed.

At this time, Snape was looking at Suning thoughtfully. A small wooden stick appeared on the table in front of him.

In fact, when it comes to handling the gel snail worm, it is necessary to squeeze it from both sides of its shell to force it to stretch its flesh again so that it can be pulled out smoothly.

However, this process is quite skillful and challenging.

The first thing to consider is the force of the squeeze.

If you squeeze too lightly, the gel snail will not come out, while if you squeeze too hard, it may cause the shell to rupture.

Secondly, you need to be extra careful when pulling out its flesh, because the flesh can easily break if you are not careful, causing part of it to remain in the shell, eventually causing the entire shell to lose its usability.

Therefore, it is not easy to successfully deal with gel snails without sufficient handling experience.

However, today, a little wizard provided our Potions Master with a very simple little trick, a trick so simple that no one could have thought of it.

Use a small wooden skewer to pick out the snail meat.

There was a strange look in Snape's eyes.

.............

Although the speed has increased, the quantity of the objects is still large.

After an unknown amount of time, Suning finally finished picking all the fat snail worms, took off his gloves, and shook his sour wrists.

Suning looked up and saw that Snape had disappeared.

"My goodness, they say they are tutoring me, but they are actually asking me to do hard labor."

Suning muttered something complaining.

Only then did he have the mind (the courage) to look at Snape's office.

Walking into Professor Snape's office, a stale smell hit me in the face.

The light here is very dim, with only a few weak oil lamps emitting light, making the entire space look gloomy and depressing.

Huge glass jars are neatly arranged on the walls, filled with all kinds of weird and disgusting biological specimens, which make people shudder.

There was a fireplace in the office, but it was cold, without a hint of warm flame.

Professor Snape's desk stood alone in the center of the room, as if he were the prince of this dark world.

There were some experimental instruments on the table, such as a copper scale, glass jars, etc., as well as some mysterious ingredients whose uses were only known to Snape himself.

There are more than 20 crucibles placed around the desk. These crucibles are of different sizes. Some have been used many times and are covered with a thick layer of black stains; some are brand new and reflect the faint light.

In the corner of the room, there is a basin made of stone, with a monster-shaped gargoyle installed above the basin. This gargoyle can be used not only to wash hands, but also to wash spoons and other tools needed for experiments.

When water gushed out of the gargoyles, it made a crisp sound, breaking the silence in the office.

However, this sound makes people feel an inexplicable fear, as if the gargoyle is hiding some unknown secret.

No wonder Snape was so easily regarded as a villain by others. Working in such an environment all day long, he was completely immersed in the coldness.

Just then, Suning saw a few herbs placed casually in the corner of the medicine shelf not far away.

Su Ning's eyes rolled around and he approached the medicine shelf.

I saw that those herbs were eagle claw grass.

But at this time, Suning still didn't know what they were.

Suning couldn't help but feel moved.

According to Snape's personality, if the medicinal herbs were very important, he would definitely preserve them properly, just like the herbs in the bottles and jars next to him. But as for the three herbs in front of him, Snape just casually placed them in the corner, which means that they are not very important.

"Then I'll take it as my reward for a night's hard work. That's fair, right?"

Perhaps out of a desire for revenge, or perhaps because he didn't want to suffer a loss, Suning stuffed the three eagle claw grasses into his arms and left with a guilty conscience.

As soon as he walked out of Snape's office, Su Ning felt cheerful. He hummed a song and walked towards the dormitory:

"Snape, Snape, Severus Snape"

"Snape, Snape, Severus Snape"

(From the Internet, if you don’t know it, I strongly recommend you to listen to it, hehe)

.............

The next day, in the Hogwarts library, Suning found the illustration of Hawk's Claw Grass.
