Hogwarts.

The following weeks seemed ordinary as Snape attended his classes and no one else bothered him, while everyone was just watching him and as months began to pass, he started trying to create his own spells with knowledge of space, but it was still very difficult to keep increasing his strength, since his power had stagnated with the system.

He could no longer grow, and every day he still had the daily mission; setting that aside, he continued producing new potions and today in particular, a new friend of Professor Slughorn came to request another one of his bottles.

"Here you are, Professor." Snape handed over a new bottle to him.

"Very well, here is the money." The professor handed it over. This was the twelfth bottle sold in the last 3 months.

Snape was satisfied; he was starting to gain a rumor of a skilled potion-maker appearing in the English magical market, while no one knew his name, the great families involved with potions and with big names among potion-makers began to search for the mysterious potion man. Some bought his potions, since they were at least 10% more effective than what stores sold and tried to replicate them, but did not have much success, after all Snape had included some quite useful things to protect himself from people who would try to copy his formulas, he was not creating rare potions and it could even be said that they were of low and medium access for the wizarding community, but their quality began to shock.

He received the money from the professor while nodding, but Slughorn looked at him strangely. "You know, there's a report of a mysterious alchemist emerging according to the newspaper, The Daily Prophet...." He began while looking at Snape with suspicion.

Snape had not spoken about his potion sales on weekends when he left the school for Diagon Alley. After all, he wanted to keep his name hidden.

"I've seen it too, I heard some things from the Slytherin students." Snape spoke, but shrugged, not wanting to be related to that mysterious figure.

"..." Slughorn maintained his sharp gaze on Snape for one second before letting it go. "Well, I just found it intriguing... after all, I know all the potion-makers and to see one emerging with such great quality is curious..." He said.

Snape was also surprised when an article about him came out in The Daily Prophet, but they couldn't discover anything about him while he had two dozen thousand galleons, an amount almost as large as a small bankrupt wizarding family, this when he was just a student.

'Being an alchemist makes a lot of money, even the old Snape could live in a much better condition if he knew how to use his knowledge and skills efficiently to make money and not live like a poor man mentioned.' Snape couldn't help but think as he bid the professor farewell and headed out of the room.

"Snape." Snape looked towards the voice calling him as soon as he exited the corridor and saw Clarisse Greengrass approaching him. The girl had distanced herself from him in recent months, it seemed she liked to be discreet and being seen with him would only draw more eyes to her.

Lucinda was more confident and extroverted, as she continued to talk to him and walk by his side, even though his name had come out in the newspaper, though the girl seemed more concerned, after all when Snape first left Hogwarts, he knew that one of his family's stores had been attacked by Death Eaters, trying to find something that the Ministry of Magic could not identify.

Snape looked at the girl who hardly spoke to him anymore, not that he cared about that, after all the last thing he wanted was people on top of him while he was busy most of the day.
